Chapter 1232: Insatiable greed

The truth is certainly true, but it's a pity that now she has an arrow on the string and has to take action. After all, it's better to run away and be chased than to be killed on the spot, right?

As for the skeleton worm...

It reached its target and floated easily in front of the truck.

Similar to the initial observation of the motor on the side, as soon as it approached the truck body, the skeleton lightly surrounded it with a sickle, moving in the air and staring at the truck body while always facing the truck. During the observation, the red pupils turned slightly, and then swept over the already damaged driver.

After walking around the front cabin and the empty carriage for a moment, he made sure that the carriage was empty and without any human traces. The black-robed skeleton kept moving. It bent over and deliberately glanced at the bottom of the truck!

With the help of the only remaining rearview mirror on the front of the car, Cheng Ying saw all the actions of the black-robed skeleton, especially after seeing the inspection screen of the other party not even sparing the bottom of the car. On the roof of the car, the girl was horrified.

If her psychological quality had not been extremely strong, she would have collapsed and screamed. However, unfortunately, even though the female killer had a firm mind and remained silent, she could not prevent the black-robed skeleton from following its subsequent actions, such as...

After inspecting the truck body and underside, something happened that Cheng Ying least wanted to see.

With the help of the car's front lens, she saw with her own eyes the black-robed skeleton rising, repeatedly raising its body height in a leisurely manner!!!

Checking the roof of the car, it turned out that the black-robed skeleton did not have any details or corners!

(Okay, that's it, then...)

Seeing this, Cheng Ying gritted her teeth and tensed her body. It was obviously the last sign of jumping out of the car!

Can……

At the critical moment, just when Cheng Ying had already made the move to jump out of the car, and just when the black-robed skeleton was about to raise its head to the roof of the car to look around for inspection, it stopped.

For no reason, for no reason, the black-robed skeleton suddenly stopped rising when it was about to reach the roof of the car. It inexplicably interrupted its inspection, and then suddenly dropped back to the ground as if it had discovered something, and looked straight ahead, before recovering.

After floating normally, turn your head and look to the southeast, which is the wide road that leads directly to the south side of the manor.

As mentioned above, no one knows why the black-robed skeleton suddenly terminated the inspection and fell back to the ground. However, from the sudden change of movements of the black-robed skeleton, we can still guess that it seems to have discovered something. It has discovered something more important than inspecting the truck.

problem.

As for what the specific problem is? Or what exactly did the black-robed skeleton just discover?

The answer can be answered, but before answering, you must first observe the time and switch the perspective.

Yes, because the earlier search took a certain amount of time, just when the black-robed skeleton was lifting his body to check the roof of the car, the time came to 1 o'clock in the morning. But strangely, as soon as the time reached 1 o'clock, the black-robed skeleton happened.

Change, a drastic change in vision!

If you switch your field of view at this moment and switch the observation perspective to the perspective of the black-robed skeleton, you will find that in the eyes of the black-robed skeleton, the picture it sees is exactly the same as that of humans. The same manor is shrouded in pitch black night, and the same vision of deathly silence

Obstructed, under the night, the most

The far field of view was only a hundred meters, but the above was only limited to before 1 o'clock. As the time came to 1 o'clock in the morning, the next moment, the field of vision of the black-robed skeleton changed. The field of vision that was originally indistinguishable from that of humans had more.

These things include 10 distinctly shaped generators!

……………

When the time came to 1 o'clock in the morning, the black-robed skeleton changed. Its vision changed. It saw the generator out of thin air without any reason or even logic, and it saw all the generators scattered in the manor.

, and then achieve perspective in a certain sense, that is, one-way perspective.

Some people may be confused after seeing this, that is, although the field of view has indeed changed in the description, what is the specific field of view of the black-robed skeleton? And what does the so-called one-way perspective mean?

The problem seems complicated, but it is not difficult to explain. To put it bluntly, it can be understood as just putting a perspective on a certain thing!

Yes, now in the observation field of the black-robed skeleton, his field of vision is still limited by the manor environment and the dark night like humans. Although he cannot see any people or things behind the obstacles, he can only see

The outlines of 10 motors, that is to say, in the eyes of the skeleton, whether it is close or

Far away, all the generators that exist in the manor are displayed in the form of outlines in the eyes of the skeleton, and it is worth mentioning that even if the motors appear in outlines, the colors of the outlines are also different. Some motor outlines are green in the field of vision, and some are green.

It is yellow, and some are constantly flashing red light.

Just now, at the critical moment when the black-robed skeleton was about to rise to the roof of the car and find Cheng Ying, it acquired this single perspective ability and instantly saw the outline of all the motors. It was the thing that prompted the black-robed skeleton to interrupt the search and even attracted it to divert its attention.

Another motor that is closer, a motor located on the road ahead, is a motor that is flashing red light frequently!

Hooray!

There is still no reason, there is still no reason. As soon as the motor is flashing, the next second, the black-robed skeleton moves after hearing the news. While giving up the search for the truck, it gallops in the dark wind and charges with a scythe in hand at a speed faster than the peak of human running.

, rush straight towards the nearest red motor!

Due to the extremely fast speed, in just a few seconds, the black-robed skeleton left the west side and disappeared into the night. It was not until this moment that Cheng Ying, who was still tense on the roof of the car, could relax, and her body collapsed like a deflated rubber ball on the spot.

Soft and almost exhausted.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

At the top of the truck, she was panting frequently, her chest was rising and falling, and cold sweat was dripping down her forehead like rain. There was no doubt that Cheng Ying was scared. Even though she was determined and courageous, she was still nearly killed by her just now.

The experience was so frightening that her mind went blank for a moment. Of course, all the above was only temporary. After about ten seconds, Cheng Ying came to her senses. After confirming that there was no danger at the scene, she turned over and jumped out of the truck.

Boom.

A veteran is a veteran after all. Sure enough, as soon as her legs landed on the ground, Cheng Ying frowned and looked towards the night, with questions in her mind...

What's going on? What just happened? Why did the black-robed skeleton inexplicably stop searching when it was about to find him? Then he left the place and disappeared into the darkness as if he was attracted by something. What on earth was going on?

Due to the lack of valuable clues, it is impossible for Cheng Ying to know what is going on. Even if He Fei is present, he will definitely not be able to find the answer. Cheng Ying knows this better than anyone, so it is natural that there is no answer to the question.

, the female killer didn’t think too much, she just glanced at the direction in which the black-robed skeleton disappeared and walked towards the motor without saying a word.

Obviously, because charging the motor is so important, it is so important that it is a matter of life and death. Even though she had just encountered a dangerous situation, Cheng Ying still did not run away. Instead, she continued to charge after confirming that the monster had left. After all, everyone knows that the game time is extremely limited.

, if you can't rush to fully charge all the generators before 5 o'clock in the morning, there will be no need to kill them by then. The rules alone can melt and obliterate all the executors, including yourself.

You must seize the time to recharge. Even if you know that there are hawks in the manor, you cannot hide out of fear, because hiding is only safe for a while!

With this belief in mind, Cheng Ying ignored her fear and continued working. She took advantage of the momentary absence of the black-robed skeleton and took advantage of the opportunity to walk towards the motor. However, just as she came to the motor, Cheng Ying's expression suddenly changed!

The reason is...

As the black-robed skeleton left the scene, looking at the motor screen now, I saw that the machine's battery power, which I thought should have reached 95%, had inexplicably dropped to 85% in an instant!

(Um?)

Staring at the battery value, Cheng Ying's heart tightened and she was suddenly startled. She was wrapped in a daze and stunned by the inexplicable drop in the machine's battery. That's true, but Cheng Ying is Cheng Ying after all. With her excellent observation skills

, the girl quickly recalled a scene, a scene of the behavior of a squid that she had witnessed not long ago:

I remember that the black-robed skeleton hit the motor in front of me with a sickle...

(Is it possible that the power drop is due to...)

(Damn! This is troublesome. Curse, are you trying to make us lose this game on purpose?)

Yes, there is no need to explain it. By observing the behavior of the beast earlier, Cheng Ying guessed the reason for the drop in power in just a few seconds. Under the restrictions of some unknown rules, the black-robed skeleton did not have the ability to destroy the motor.

ability, but it can reduce the power of the machine through impact!

Creak, creak.

Thinking of this, Cheng Ying panicked. After concluding that the black-robed skeleton had the ability to reduce the power of the machine, her face turned pale. She immediately turned the joystick to work again. After wasting a lot of time, she gritted her teeth and continued charging, trying to use speed to make up for the lack.

During this period, cold sweat flowed, and an uncontrollable premonition came out of her heart, and a prediction about the future came up that could make her frightened:

Under the influence of the black-robed skeleton, the executor may lose this game! It is very likely that he will not be able to charge all 10 motors before the end of the game!!!

………

Just like no one can stop the planets from orbiting the stars, the passage of time is also unstoppable. From the beginning of the game to this moment, an hour has passed by in a flash, and the time has unknowingly gone from zero in the morning to 1 in the morning.

Although time was passing by, the executor did not waste time. Following Cheng Ying's order, the crowd dispersed, looking for motors to charge manually. For a while, there were sounds throughout the manor, and many soft sounds echoed.

As a newcomer, Shen Jian is qualified. At least he thinks he has met the qualification standard. The reason why he thinks so is because he has been charging the motor. Although the manor is gloomy and the atmosphere is depressing, he still endures the fear.

Deliberately searching for the motor, relying on video memory, Shen Jian ran directly to the southernmost end of the manor, that is, the abandoned power plant located on the edge of the manor, as early as the beginning of the separation. In his impression, there were three generators there!

Undoubtedly, as a mathematics graduate, Shen Jian has his own plan, which is to find a place that is both concealed and has a lot of motors to carry out his work, so that he can not only hide effectively but also charge the motors.

It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone. This is what he thought. In reality, Xie Cheng did this. Although he found other motors along the way, the young man still turned a blind eye and moved forward. Finally, he came to the abandoned power plant. As soon as he arrived, Shen Jian went straight to a machine near the corner.

of generator.

Thanks to the relatively concealed position of the motor, Xie Cheng hid behind him in a half-kneeling position and manually cranked the charger. At first, everything was normal, and the machine's power was slowly increasing under Xie Cheng's shaking. After working for a long time, the machine's power increased to 100.

At 93:00, he heard a voice and received a notification from the communicator he carried with him. An emergency notification was issued by Chen Xiaoyao.

Let’s not mention Chen Xiaoyao’s tone for the moment, but the content of the notice really frightened Xie Cheng, because...

The regulator appears! It looks like a black-robed skeleton that looks very much like the God of Death!

To be honest, when he first received the news, Xie Cheng was indeed panicked, so much so that he even had the idea of ​​giving up charging and finding a place to hide. After all, he was just a newcomer with zero experience, facing the legendary evil that killed everyone on sight.

He will naturally know how to do it

He was panic-stricken, but thinking about the remote location of the power plant and the fact that the motor was a matter of life and death for him, in the end, under the pressure of eradicating the rules, even though his heart was rough, Xie Cheng still forced himself to calm down and continue working, and soon the motor in front of him was fully charged.

Staring at the top antenna of the motor with the green light flashing, he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, which was caused by fatigue or fear. Sure enough, Xie Cheng, who was still able to distinguish the pros and cons of reality, continued to move cautiously, using more energy than a thief.

He tiptoed through the night in an extremely cautious manner, and slowly walked towards the second motor located a hundred meters away, an empty electric motor located at the edge of the power plant. Ahead was a broad road leading directly to the west.

As a side note, since he had already learned about the appearance of the locust, Xie Cheng's heart beat wildly during the walk and he moved very slowly. He almost moved forward at a snail's pace by turning back one step at a time, truly seeing and listening in all directions.

Time passed like this with Xie Cheng's excessive procrastination, and unknowingly it came to 1 o'clock in the morning.

As the saying goes, there is no endless road in the world. When the time came to 1 o'clock, Xie Cheng finally arrived at the motor. The rest was simple. He maintained the tension and glanced around a few more times, and waited for San to confirm the surroundings.

After calming down and swallowing, Xie Cheng squatted down and started working, and then...

(Um?)

Xie Cheng stopped. Just when he was habitually lowering his head to look for the machine rocker, he saw something. Through the corner of his eye, he accidentally saw something.

He found a box in the weeds on the right side only 1 meter away from the motor in front of him.

The box is not big in size, just a little bigger than a palm in total. It is also pitch black and almost impossible to see in the night. I just happened to see it by chance.

The coincidence is certainly a coincidence, but now that he has seen it, Xie Cheng cannot turn a blind eye to it no matter what.

"Black box?" Sure enough, as soon as he found the box, Xie Cheng murmured, reached out to grab it, took the box in his hand, and opened it out of curiosity.

As the lid of the box was easily opened, he next saw a ball, a black round ball with the same volume as a table tennis ball.

"Huh?"

Xie Cheng was startled when he saw that there was a black ball in the box. He was completely confused. He just frowned and continued to stretch his hand towards the ball, with the purpose of holding it in front of his eyes and looking at it carefully, but...

What the young man didn't expect was that his fingers had just touched the surface of the ball. Before he could even hold the ball, a cold and emotionless voice suddenly appeared in his mind:

Item name: Exorcist bomb (game specific).

Type of props: One-time consumption of props.

Function introduction: This prop is only effective in supernatural missions. It contains shielding power. It only needs to be thrown hard to exert its effect. After use, it can temporarily eliminate all supernatural powers within a certain range around the executor. The explosion smoke will also affect the spirit body.

, comes with the ability to immobilize, the effective maintenance time is unknown, and depends on the strength of the spirit body and the duration of the smoke.

Tip: The executor is required to escape quickly after using this item. Although this item can invalidate the ability of the monster within a certain period of time, if the monster is too strong, the effective maintenance time of the exorcism bomb will also be shortened accordingly.

Note: This prop is a game-specific prop and can only be used in the ‘Escape to Ascension’ game mission and cannot be taken away from this mission.

Xie Cheng was stunned. The moment he received the joy in his mind, his eyes were wide open and he was stunned. He was frozen like a statue for a long time. It was not until half a minute passed quietly that the young man gradually changed his expression as if he understood something.

, the expression gradually evolved from a dull expression to a face full of joy in a way that is visible to the naked eye!

Yes, Xie Cheng understood. He quickly figured out everything after browsing the ball information. He remembered that the mission information had a reminder that in addition to the generators in the manor, there were also some hidden in some areas that could be used in the game.

The reason why the specific props are described in a specific way is because props are prohibited in this mission, which means that the performer is strictly prohibited from using the props he carries during the mission. It is true that the props carried cannot be used, but it does not include the props picked up during the mission.

Props!

Just now, by chance, Xie Cheng discovered the prop box that had been deliberately mentioned in the message, and the box indeed contained a prop, an exorcism bomb that can restrain worms, which is also an item that can be used in the mission.

Specific props used!!!

(This thing can save my life! It can save my life. As long as I have this thing in my hand, even if I am discovered by a tiger, I can still escape with this thing. It’s great, it’s really great!)

As described above, although Xie Cheng is a newcomer with zero experience, his shallow experience does not mean that he is a fool. On the contrary, Xie Cheng is a person with relatively good understanding ability. He can generally see the situation at hand and understand the motor well.

Charging matters

If it weren't for his own life and death, then he wouldn't have given up hiding in the manor and started looking for the motor anyway. As expected, as soon as he learned the information about the props, Xie Cheng understood it instantly and immediately became energetic.

Excited and full of joy!

(The exorcism bomb is a good thing. It can eliminate the ability of the monster for a certain period of time and immobilize the body at the same time! Having this is almost equivalent to an extra life, but...)

(There is only one, it would be nice if there were more...).

It is said that the essence of human nature is greed, and this statement is indeed true. Xie Cheng had just obtained the exorcism bomb, and his thoughts changed. He had uncontrollable thoughts, and came up with the greedy idea that the more tools he had, the safer he would be.

(Anyway, the information states that there is not only one prop. If this is the case, then there may be similar specific props in other places in the manor.)

Staring at the black ball in his hand, he raised his head and glanced at the surrounding environment. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal at the scene...

Ta da da, da da da.

He carefully stuffed the ball into his pocket. Next, Xie Cheng moved, gave up charging the motor, and left the power plant where he was. He got up and left, prompted by a certain thought, and walked straight to the road ahead. During the process, his eyes moved, observing from time to time.

left and right road.

At the same time, as Xie Cheng was moving along the roadside and searching, the screen stretched to a distance of 300 meters in front of him, which was blocked by night and could not be seen.

Squeak, squeak, squeak.

"Phew! I'm so tired, so tired, I'm exhausted."

Under the night, next to the main road near the west side, there is a continuous ups and downs accompanied by the soft sound of machinery. Currently, Kong Ling is sweating profusely and talking frequently, mumbling to himself while turning the joystick. His cute little face has already turned red, and then his forehead

The constant flow of sweat together proves an unchangeable reality

, that is, she is very tired, exhausted from the obviously physically consuming work of charging. If the girl was full of curiosity about the game at the beginning and couldn't wait, then as the game started, she really participated in it and got her hands on it.

From the moment I charged the motor, Kongling regretted it. The reason is...

She never dreamed that the motor would charge so slowly!

In addition, the charger needs to turn the joystick all the time. After only 10 minutes of turning, the arm becomes sore and the feeling of fatigue comes.

After all, she is an underage girl whose physical ability is obviously inferior to that of an adult. It is normal for her to be unable to function for a long time. It is a pity that she has no way to turn back. No matter how regretful or tired she is, thinking that the motor is related to everyone's life and death, Kong Ling has no choice but to grit her teeth and hold on.

She continued to turn and held the joystick to charge it. She continued, but due to her own physical strength, the girl turned slowly. After turning for nearly an hour, the motor was still not fully charged!

"99.7%, it's almost done, it's almost done! Hold on, hold on for a while!" Creak, creak...

At this moment, Hui Wei's face was red. After another seven or eight turns of the joystick, finally, as the motor antenna turned green, the value officially increased to 100%!

Then……

Plop.

"Hoo, ho! Hoo!"

After confirming that the motor was finally full, the next moment, Kong Ling collapsed on the spot and lay directly on the motor, panting. If nothing else happened, the girl would have to rest for a while before taking action. However...

Who would have thought that at the exact moment when the motor was fully charged, before Kong Ling even took a breath, the accident still happened!

……………
