Chapter 336 Return to Exploration
Along with the lack of sense of dissonance brought about by the fading of the dream, when the more than twenty years of study seemed like the past, the memory of exploring new ways of playing also resurfaced.
"By the way, investigate!" As his thoughts were reorganized and he looked at the exploration interface that reappeared in front of him, Feng Xue began to think about his next action.
In fact, after getting the Strange Dream, this exploration was already worth the price. When exploring a new mode for the first time, Feng Xue had no intention of clearing the level. After thinking about it, he decided to give up the idea of clearing the level and put all the characters together. Try all options.
Thinking of this, he recalled his previous explorations, looked at the action points and thought for a while:
"Currently, there is a violent investigation method that I haven't used yet. In addition, this method requires consuming some action points and skipping a day's rest. You can try it. After that, try to see if you can find more secret locations and open the map."
Thinking of this, Feng Xue hesitated for a moment between resting and violent exploration, and then chose to rest. For no other reason than this option seemed safer. What if he died on the spot if he chose violent exploration?
[Evening·University Town·Rest]
As the command is entered, a day skips, and the turntable representing time in the upper right corner rotates in a circle. As the action points are consumed, a line of text pops up——
[Because your previous investigation was too aggressive, you decided to take a day off and your exposure was -10. 】
"Oh, it turns out that rest can reduce the exposure value! In other words, you should choose to rest before the exposure value is close to the threshold? No, action points are limited. If you spend too much on rest, it will reduce the efficiency of obtaining the secret board. "Feng Xue, who has played meaty pigeon games such as Slay the Spire and Integrated Strategy, immediately understood, but then his face darkened again - now his exposure value has dropped back to 15 points. If it exceeds 25 points, will it still be possible? Want to go through another judgment?
"Forget it, we plan to test it anyway. It's better to find out early than to encounter it later."
Feng Xue looked at the hands that had returned to the morning. After thinking about it, she decided not to conduct violent exploration in the base camp area of the university, but instead came to the commercial street.
Looking at the options of morning, morning and afternoon, Feng Xue chose the early morning, a time when incidents seemed to be more likely to occur——
[Early morning·Pedestrian Street·Violence investigation]
After the order was given, Feng Xue's eyes immediately showed the scene of the pedestrian street that he had seen before. However, compared with the people coming and going, the pedestrian street at this time seemed extremely bleak. Most of the surrounding shops were closed, except for a second-floor shop in the distance. Stores open fourteen hours a day still have their lights on.
There were almost no pedestrians on the street, and in the area that the dim lights couldn't illuminate, it seemed like something sneaky was crawling in the darkness.
In this background illustration full of Christian style, a line of text suddenly emerges——
[You felt strange about being investigated before. In the early hours of the morning, you disguised yourself and returned to the pedestrian street. Through your excellent professionalism, you quickly discovered several hidden observation points where you could watch each other...]
The text stops abruptly, without any choice, and goes directly into the familiar pre-war rendering.
"Violent investigation means 'die for me', right?" Feng Xue thought secretly in her heart, and immediately unfolded the Phantom of the Opera the moment the scene was rendered.
In his career as an actor for more than 20 years, his understanding of musicals has reached a considerable level. The structure of "Phantom of the Opera", which he could only refer to for reference, was instantly understood by him.
Although it is difficult to say whether it is consistent with the original version, Feng Xue can already smoothly imagine the secrets on the stage, and use this to complete hiding, teleportation and flashing - if necessary, he can even fly briefly (Diaowei Ya )!
Only the actors knew the secret of the stage. Hidden in the imaginary tunnel, Feng Xue did not dare to release the G·I force field and could only observe the surroundings with the naked eye.
Soon, he saw a homeless man huddled in the corner. Although he seemed to be sleeping, Feng Xue could vaguely see the reflection in his eyes with the help of the street lamp.
"This should be a sentry point, but what is the situation in this city? Are there also hidden sentries on the pedestrian streets? Is this a unique theme of the City of Shadows? Or are these so-called open sentinels and hidden sentry posts actually used by Golden Finger to control the bottom layer of Fantasyland? Something packaged into something I can understand?"
After finding a reference point, Feng Xue used the other party's vision to look for other possible sentinel points, but in his heart he was thinking about the truth of this exploration theme.
Through the information previously obtained from two temporary teammates and the teaching materials of the master-level architecture technique, Feng Xue roughly understood the existence state of the architect at the bottom of the dreamland.
If this new gameplay really encapsulates the exploration of the bottom layer of Fantasyland into a game, then these so-called enemies may actually be nightmares.
And those passers-by are ordinary reverberations, drifting souls, residents or kings.
"If this idea is true, then my exploration process is also a process of distinguishing nightmares from residents in a sense? Well, what is this? Investigating bad guys who have blended into the crowd?"
Feng Xue grinned, but locked two sentinel points again.
To be fair, the layout of these sentry posts is somewhat standard, but for Feng, who has forty years of experience as a killer (twenty of the twenty-five years as an actor as a part-time killer), fourteen years as a monster thief, and twenty-five years as an actor. As far as snow is concerned, it’s still not enough.
Covering her body with dim colors, Feng Xue teleported to the side of the homeless man. At that moment, considering that the other person might be a nightmare with no vital points, Feng Xue twisted the other person's neck with a click and directly A tunnel was built beneath him.
The abilities of "Phantom of the Opera" are indeed excellent, but the shortcomings are also obvious. In the final analysis, these tunnels are the product of the construction of the G.I force field. Naturally, there will be fluctuations in the G.I. force field. If you want to sneak closer by "digging tunnels" The enemy is obviously unrealistic.
In comparison, the farthest teleportation distance is only the width of the stage, which is nothing.
After confirming that there was no fake corpse, Feng Xue secretly conducted an autopsy in the "hidden compartment" under the corpse in a way that could only be seen in horror movies. Then, he was surprised to find that this person turned out to be "Normal people"?
"Well, although they are stronger than ordinary people, they are at least more normal than the Farah people I have encountered before. It seems that at least in this exploration process, these existences have been packaged into real 'human beings'?"
Feng Xue doubted whether he thought wrongly, but he had already killed them all, so there was nothing more to say. Using the homeless man as the reference point to lock the next sentinel point, Feng Xue's figure disappeared again...
