The fire grew stronger and stronger, and thick black smoke rushed into the air.
From a distance, the lit building looks like a red chimney, so eye-catching in the city that even the sky is illuminated red.
"Brother Lin, do we really let them go?"
Standing behind Lin An, looking at Lin An who was constantly drawing maps on the ground, Gao Tian couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
He really couldn't figure out why Brother Lin let Qingkai go. Not to mention that the guy was hostile to them, Qingkai himself was probably an important "prop" to complete his knowledge.
It's really not possible, even if I kill him and leave a body
"It's not necessary. Besides, I have my own plan."
Raising his head, Lin An dropped the charcoal in his hand and looked at Gao Tian calmly.??.
"Qingkai and the others have the same understanding as us. Even if he hides something, he won't be able to find out, and what he asks may not be correct."
"Rather than leaving him here, it's better to let him explore the road."
With a little charcoal in his hand, Lin An lowered his head and motioned to Gao Tian to look at the map he had drawn.
"Look, this is the mission exit, due north of the city."
"This point below the mission exit is the apartment we entered. Going down is the studio where we found the camera. And we are also near here now."
"And this point"
Lin An slowly moved the charcoal to the lower right side of the studio, making a circle.
"This is where you come in."
"Have you discovered it? In fact, we are not far apart. The straight-line distance is only about ten kilometers."
"Wow"
Lin An drew a circle with his freehand, directly encircling the apartment and art gallery.
"We are all in the northeast of the city, and the remaining areas are all unknown. If calculated based on the exploration area, we have probably explored about ten percent of the entire city."
After the words fell, Lin An raised his head and asked softly
"Have you thought of anything? Gao Tian?"
What comes to mind?
Gao Tian was stunned, then frowned, and then hesitantly spoke after a few seconds.
'Brother Lin, what you mean is that the city is very big and everyone else is in the remaining 90 areas. Do you want Qingkai and the others to find the remaining people? Anyway, if they want to complete the mission in the end, they will definitely pass by us again?
'
"I can't think of more."
With a wry smile, Gao Tian has been unable to find a clue since entering the mission.
To be honest, except for Brother Zhang's words that accidentally woke him up and made him think of something, until now, he has not figured out what this mission is about and what he needs to do.
However, to Gao Tian's surprise, Lin An stood up and shook his head.
"No, I never thought about letting Qingkai find other people, and then wait and intercept the knowledge."
"I asked him to leave for other reasons."
Without explaining the reason, Lin An paused for a moment and simply skipped this point.
"Gao Tian, you haven't noticed that whether it's Hongpao, Gul'dan, or the people I've come into contact with, they all know each other. If nothing else, if there is a team near us, it will be from Siren and Marksman.
clansmen.”
"Why is it such a coincidence?"
Before Gao Tian blinked in confusion, Lin An changed the subject and spoke again.
"Now the mission has entered the second stage. As expected, we need to face attacks from ghosts. This means that the clues have been found, and the only thing left is to crack the combination."
"We found two, and you found one. This means that everyone's system prompts are different, and the system enters the second stage after we get the camera."
"What does this mean? It means that other people have already found all the clues before I got the camera!"
"This is wrong! The time is too short and too hasty! Could it be that if there is no team that wastes time, there is no one who cannot decipher the message?"
Turning around, Lin An's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of an extremely absurd idea.
"Let's take a step back and say that others really only need to find one piece of information. Then after the second phase begins, they must move across the entire city toward the exit!"
"Do you think they will be chased by ghosts along the way? They will definitely! And most of them will die on the way! They will only face greater difficulties than us!"
"If you walk too much, you will bump into ghosts!"
"Is this fair!?"
Gao Tian blinked and spoke hesitantly.
"Brother Lin, you mean that because the mission entered the second phase too quickly, others are too far away from the exit, and the risk is much greater than us. But the system is not that unfair."
"Is it possible that the remaining more than a hundred people are actually near us?"
"for example"
Halfway through his words, Gao Tian suddenly stopped and realized that this logic did not hold.
"No!"
"If they are all nearby, then we should have encountered each other on the road! And the city is so big, if the clues are all concentrated in this circle, then what is the point of other areas!?"
"so!?"
Gao Tian's heart was shocked, and he immediately realized what Lin An had thought.
"So the transmission is not random, but is intentionally allocated by the system!"
Lin An nodded and said the conclusion directly
"A system wouldn't be so unfair, letting other people cross the city while we just wait at the exit."
"2 The remaining more than a hundred people must be distributed in other areas of the city, and they can be found at any distance!"
"The second phase of 3 entered too fast, and both of our teams can understand the clues, and everyone has their own ideas."
"In summary!"
"I suspect that people from other teams have not found clues at all, or that the system has not released information to them at all!"
"Combined with this, as long as someone can complete the task, everyone will be resurrected to see"
"Then no matter how impossible the answer is, it is still the answer!"
Taking a deep breath, Lin An looked solemnly into the distance, word by word.
"There is only one explanation!"
"That means everyone else is dead! They died at the beginning of the mission!"
"This is the only way there is no need to cross the city and they don't need to look for clues!"
