Chapter 116 Give You a Tip
The introduction ends here.
Gu Xiuqi had already read it in advance, so he said whatever he thought.
"There are quite a few things in this introduction, but it mainly stipulates our free time and scope of activities. During the day, except for the bathroom, we can probably go to other places. I don't know if we can enter the rooms where long-term tenants live, but we can use this time to investigate.
As for the night, we must return to the single room. And from the looks of it, there are not enough rooms, and someone must be forced to stay outside to deal with those strange things.
The text specifically states "single room", which means that two people are not allowed to squeeze into the same room.
Food and water are prepared per person, so at least there is no need to worry about vicious incidents caused by hunger.
Regarding those legends, the text of the introduction is a bit ambiguous, so let us judge for ourselves. It is better to believe it than not to believe it, but I think the last reminder is true and should be some kind of taboo. Just in case, from now on, it is better not to call each other by name."
Zheng Xun in front basically agreed and kept nodding. When he said the last sentence, he suddenly paused, his head dropped as if he had lost strength, and the brochure in his hand fell to the ground.
Gu Xiuqi, who was still talking, stopped talking.
"What's wrong with you?"
Zheng Xun didn't say anything, but a strange sound came from his throat, as if someone was strangling him.
"I... ah..."
Gu Xiuqi frowned and looked at him for a moment, then suddenly sighed.
"Maybe you can act more realistically. If you suddenly break a hand or a foot, I will scream on the spot."
Zheng Xun heard him say that, and stopped pretending, raised his face, innocent.
"I just want to liven up the atmosphere."
"Now there are only two of us, there is no tension, you can wait for other players to come over, and then scare them."
"So will you really scream if you break your hands and feet?"
"No. I will just throw you and your hands and feet out of the window together, bringing some shock from the players to the boss wandering outside."
"..."
The two chatted for a few words, and suddenly, there was a noise from the ceiling vent again.
Zheng Xun's eyes lit up, and he walked to the half-opened vent in three or two steps, ready to bring a little surprise to the new player.
But before he got close, his intuition made him take two steps back. He heard a clanking sound from above, and something fell down.
...It turned out to be the iron pipe at the head of the bed he saw in the single room.
The vent's barrier was kicked open by the people above, and then a player wearing the Jiuding team uniform jumped down and landed lightly.
It was a young girl, very beautiful, with seaweed-like black hair casually combed behind her head with a hairband, and bright red lipstick on her lips.
When she saw Zheng Xun, she didn't seem to be surprised and nodded.
"Hello."
Then she turned her head to look at Gu Xiuqi behind Zheng Xun and nodded again.
"Brother Qi."
The way of greeting was concise and clear, and she was ruthless and didn't talk much.
This should be You Xueshan of Jiuding Team 2, the beautiful captain who was rumored to be able to crush a monster with one hand.
Zheng Xun looked at the iron pipe under his feet, which was still rolling.
This thing should be welded to the head of the bed. I don’t know what method she used to remove it, but she did it anyway.
Gu Xiuqi didn’t say much, and threw the brochure in his hand to You Xueshan.
You Xueshan read it quickly and soon understood why they didn’t call her.
“It seems that we can’t call each other by name now?”
“If you choose to believe us, you can do it at will.” Gu Xiuqi said.
“Then I choose not to believe it.” You Xueshan didn’t even hesitate.
This plastic teammate relationship.
Gu Xiuqi didn’t mind. It seems that their guild usually has such a business partnership. Zheng Xun watched her bend down to pick up the scattered iron pipes without saying a word.
You Xueshan asked him instead.
“When will you come to Jiuding?”
The tone was very natural, as if this was already a done deal.
"...I don't want to go."
"Why?" You Xueshan asked him calmly, and it was a matter of course, as if she was asking Zheng Xun why he didn't eat. "Our Captain Mo has worked so hard."
"...I beg you to ask him not to work so hard anymore."
"It's not easy," You Xueshan blew the dust off the iron pipes, and then selected three of the most handy ones and took them with her. "You may not know the name of Captain Mo outside. Mo Yidao is well-deserved."
"Why is he called Mo Yidao..."
"One knife means to cut off everything, which means that he is the only one who can get rid of others. There is no corner that he can't pry open or wool that he can't take away."
"Let me ask you, what if I refuse no matter what."
"Then he will think you are very special," You Xueshan explained to him seriously, "This is a provocation to his ability and dignity, and he can't stand this kind of thing. Right, Brother Qi?"
Gu Xiuqi nodded without hesitation, it seems to be true.
Zheng Xun was even more speechless.
Seeing that he was really troubled, You Xueshan gave him a suggestion.
"How about this, you agree to him first. He will definitely get tired of you soon, and then he will be dissatisfied with you and kick you out of Jiuding, and then you can go back to your guild."
Zheng Xun took a deep breath.
"Let's see if there are any other clues, and wait for other players."
You Xueshan added at the end.
"Really, trust me. This method will work once and for all."
Zheng Xun finally understood that the people in Jiuding were not only mentally ill with eight hundred per capita, but they were also mentally ill pretending to be normal people.
After this conversation, the three of them basically confirmed that each other was alive. At this time, two more vents were opened, and two players, a man and a woman, jumped out.
The man's name is Yan Lingqing and the woman's name is Xi Li. Looking at the team uniforms, they are both from other guilds.
It must have been that when he came to support Jiuding before, he was accidentally involved.
These two players were not as calm as the three who came out earlier. Judging from their messy clothes and sweating profusely, they must have suffered a lot before escaping from inside.
They looked breathlessly at the three people in the living room. You Xueshan didn't say a word, but handed them the brochure in her hand.
The two were in shock, looking a little flustered and unable to react.
Xi Li recovered faster than Yan Lingqing. She took a few deep breaths, adjusted her rapid breathing, picked up the booklet that she had not caught due to shaking hands, and forced herself to read.
Yan Lingqing then began to return to calmness, but judging from his appearance, he was still a little drifting. Although I was reading the contents of the manual, my consciousness was still not focused on it.
All five players are present.
The remaining player is Yang Huan, the player whose death news was played on the small TV. Zheng Xun and Jiuding both paid attention to this detail, so they were very calm and had no intention of waiting for anyone.
However, just as the five of them gathered together and prepared to discuss what to do next, there was a noise from the sixth vent.
Everyone was immediately on guard.
The blockage on the vent was also removed, and a white hand poked out from inside, followed by a "person" wearing a strange team uniform and jumping down.
"Phew, I finally found everyone." The man turned his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
After seeing each other's face clearly, the other five people were all surprised to varying degrees.
Yan Lingqing couldn't help it and blurted out -
"Are you Yang Huan?!"
