6, knock on the door(1/2)
As soon as these words came out, a look of vigilance suddenly appeared on the other people's faces. Even Li Wei frowned slightly, as if he was confused.
Xie Xingyin heard the hostility in his tone and was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"I was just thinking, what kind of wind can blow you people in the daytime into this new game?" Jia Ming raised his head with deep affection and complexness, and said to the others, "Don't you think that this mission is very important for ordinary ticket copies?
Say, is it really too difficult?"
As soon as he said this, some of the more experienced people in the team showed fear.
Most of the tasks for ordinary tickets are simple, and the difficulty will fluctuate within a certain range based on the strength of the tower climber.
Many people present claimed that it was their first time to enter the tower. Xie Xingyin, Li Wei, three female high school students, plus Brother Biao and the others, there were eight newcomers.
Among the remaining people, the Mink Coat couple claim to be their second time, Lao Liang, and Jia Ming have no more than five tower climbing experiences, and have been wandering in low-end dungeons.
Under these conditions, it is unlikely that they would encounter a copy of this size.
Compared to the fact that so many people here are lying, everyone will prefer another simpler explanation——
There was a big-shot player among the people present.
Xie Xingyin noticed the hostility in Jia Ming's words and retorted:
"This is my first time entering the tower, and I have never joined any guild."
"But you are wearing the clothes of the Baidu Guild." Jia Ming said sharply.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Xie Xingyin.
You can single-handedly cap the difficulty of the primary dungeon, at least for advanced players or above.
In this case, Xie Xingyin, who was wearing a daytime guild uniform and claimed to be entering the tower for the first time, seemed particularly suspicious.
Xie Xingyin frowned.
The clothes he originally wore were torn when he came out of the Forbidden Forest. The shirt he is wearing now belongs to who knows who. It is a very ordinary style, but there is a Rose Blade badge on the collar button. Xie Xingyin left it before he came in.
I carefully cut off the buttons and left the collar slightly open.
Unexpectedly, Jia Ming recognized him at a glance.
Now that he saw it, Xie Xingyin had no choice but to admit. "I was entangled in the devil's vine when I came out of the Forbidden Forest. It was the people in the day who saved me, and I borrowed my clothes from them. And as you said, if this
The guild is really that powerful, how could it possibly want a useless newcomer like me?"
After hearing his explanation, Jia Ming showed a more confused expression on his face. He looked Xie Xingyin up and down carefully from head to toe, and suddenly sneered.
"Okay, I believe you are a newbie." He said without thinking, "As long as you stay here longer, you won't make such a big joke that those monsters will save people during the day.
"
Others around him couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if they heard something funny.
"Okay. I don't care where your clothes come from, whether they are stolen or picked up, just don't play tricks." Jia Ming showed an unpredictable expression.
Although others were skeptical about Xie Xingyin's explanation, they didn't say much.
If it's a daytime person, then they can't afford to mess with it. If it's not, then they don't need to worry about it.
Xie Xingyin didn't know what to say. He really didn't know as much about this so-called guild as Jia Ming and others.
The six rooms were allocated in this way. Li Wei pushed her forehead behind her ears. Her previous proposal to join Xie Xingyin was rejected, and she was a little unwilling to do so, but there was nothing she could do.
Li Wei looked at the key and suddenly said when opening the door:
"The old man also said that there can't be any vacancies. There were thirteen people when we came. How could there be any vacancies, unless..."
She was suddenly choked and couldn't speak anymore.
Unless one of them dies.
And what the old man said proves that he is very sure that someone will die soon.
The weird smile that the old detective showed before turning around and leaving twisted and appeared in his mind, making his hair stand on end.
"The dead sleep with the head of the bed facing north." Lao Liang stared at the open door and said quietly.
As shown in the information, Wangchuan Apartment is a large single apartment, and most of the residents are single women. Each room is the size of a single room in a hotel, with a private bathroom, and there is only a 1.5-meter bed in the room.
Single bed and a table and chairs.
The bedside is just like Lao Liang said, facing north.
Xie Xingyin originally didn't pay much attention to these things, but looking at them horizontally and vertically, he always felt strange. All the specifications and layouts in this apartment were contrary to normal conditions.
The bathroom located on the right side of the door is about five square meters. There is no shower room, only a simple shower head, toilet and wash basin with mirror.
When Xie Xingyin came out of the bathroom, the young boy was sitting on the bed playing with the lenses he snatched from Lao Liang.
"What are you playing for?" Xie Xingyin saw that the lenses belonged to Lao Liang, shook his head and smiled.
I didn't expect this kid to be quite naughty.
Xie Xingyin found two portable flashlights in the bedside table and food in the locker. There was a bag of compressed biscuits, a dozen buckets of instant noodles, half a box of purified water, and even a small bottle of vitamins. The production date was not visible.
, I don’t know if it has expired.
The amount of water is enough for two people for seven days. If you save on food, you can last longer. Xie Xingyin just checked the faucet in the bathroom. The water flowing out of the faucet is very clean. You can drink it by boiling it with a hot water kettle.
.
As long as there is sufficient water, it is not a problem for them to live here for a few more weeks.
But it may not make sense when you think about it. The old man said seven days, so they must only have seven days.
Xie Xingyin took the water and plugged in the electric kettle.
He glanced outside the window. Foggy darkness enveloped the entire sky, and there were no stars.
After tidying up the room, Xie Xingyin opened the door and planned to go out and ask Lao Liang if he knew anything about the guild.
As soon as he went out, he found Brother Biao and Jia Ming standing in the corridor.
"What's wrong?" Xie Xingyin asked.
"Here, help." Brother Biao got a fire extinguisher bottle from nowhere and used it to smash the door lock of the opposite room. "Let's break the locks of other rooms and have a look."
Xie Xingyin raised his eyebrows and looked at the lifeless locked wooden doors.
"Aren't you looking for a dog? I see that the rooms outside are mysteriously locked, so there must be something weird about them."
"That's right, the doors here are locked everywhere, where else can it hide? The dog must be hiding in some room. Let's find it quickly and go home early."
Having just witnessed the tragic scene of Cockscomb being smashed to death, Xie Xingyin always felt that this was not a good idea.
"It's not a good idea to smash it now." Xie Xingyin said hesitantly, "It's not too early, otherwise you all should go back to your room first. If you really have any ideas, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Others seemed to think it made sense, and pondered for a moment.
"Okay, let's go back and rest first. Even if we find it at night, it won't be easy to catch it."
After everyone had dispersed, Xie Xingyin glanced at the end of the corridor. The body of Cockscomb Head was still there, and a small pool of blood under his body had dried up, condensing into black and red dirt on the white porcelain floor.
Although he and Cockscomb were strangers, his corpse strongly reminded everyone that this was a real death game.
Losers who violate the rules of the game will be punished.
As expected, Xie Xingyin found out from Lao Liang that high-level players would form their own player guilds, and Bairi Guild was the most famous one among them.
"They are awesome. It is definitely not a good thing to meet them in the game. But the reputation of the White House Guild has never been very good, especially their president." Lao Liang seemed to be quite shy about this, and lowered his voice and said, "I heard that he has been
His own father was killed."
Xie Xingyin's heart trembled, but Lao Liang stopped talking.
"I think Brother Xie, you are quite brave. If you become a high-level player one day, don't deal with them. Remember to take a detour when you meet them."
When Xie Xingyin returned to the room again, the kettle had already been boiled. The young boy was sitting silently on the bedside playing with the Rubik's Cube. The warm light shone on him, slightly washing away some of the paleness, making him more refined and beautiful.
The sound of boiling water reminded him of the feeling of home, and Xie Xingyin's tense nerves relaxed a little. He made two buckets of instant noodles, put them on the table and ate them with the young boy.
Xie Xingyin thought while eating. Opening the door tonight was a condition for death. He probably didn't have the leisure to go out to look at the moon in the middle of the night.
His eyes swept around the small room, but he was thinking: If you don't want to open the door, how about opening the window?
After Xie Xingyin finished his meal, he walked to the window and opened the gray-green curtains to take a look. Outside the glass was a security window, which was made quite solidly.
But even if there were no security windows, Xie Xingyin didn't think it was a good idea to climb through the windows on the eleventh floor.
That night, after Xie Xingyin simply washed his face, he sat on the bedside and watched the young boy playing with the Rubik's Cube, waiting for the gate time to arrive as if he was waiting for the verdict.
Xie Xingyin always felt that this child had a temperament that was inappropriate for his age. Apart from anything else, children his age would not be so calm when seeing a dead person.
But this child is silent and beautiful but insists on sticking to himself, which makes people want to tease him.
"Why are you following me?" Xie Xingyin asked him in a deep voice.
The little boy lowered his head and turned the Rubik's Cube without saying anything.
"Like brother?"
The young boy nodded.
Xie Xingyin smiled brightly. He pointed at himself again: "I look like a good person?"
