The expression on Pu Gaoshan's face changed from surprise to ridicule. He twitched the corner of his mouth and tilted his head, obviously not intending to answer his question.
Xu Huo's eyes darkened slightly, and he raised his hand to shut Wang Mo into the library, and then took out the insect cage. There was one inside that was courting a mate. Mushroom-like bubbles were squeezed into the narrow box, and several land jellyfish were trapped inside.
Pressed on the glass, one of them died and black juice flowed out.
"It's okay if you don't want to answer," he put his hand on the insect cage and said, "Let me change the question. Do you think your own life is more important, or the lives of other players in Xiaohe City?"
Pu Gaoshan was not timid, "I can't stand people like you the most. You usually do good deeds and pretend to be good people, but at a critical moment, you can use any despicable means. What about wanted criminals? I'm afraid the people I killed are not as good as those.
There are many hypocrites!”
"I'm giving you a good face, but you're still suspicious. If I had known better, I shouldn't have let these gangsters enter the city!"
"That's good." Xu Huo reached into the insect cage and grabbed out the dead land jellyfish. He used a syringe to draw out the venom, held it in front of his eyes and slowly pushed out the air inside, and then said, "Tell me a few more words."
I might believe it."
"Since you are loyal to your companions and show your respect, I will send you on your way."
Pu Gaoshan laughed, "You really think I'm afraid of death!"
Xu Huo raised his eyebrows, "Why are you hiding in this high-risk dungeon if you're not afraid of death?"
He said and took out a small mirror, "Look here."
Pu Gaoshan looked over conditionedly and was temporarily blinded by the effect of "danger makes people blind". Then the props in his hand and the defensive props he had used before all failed. The next second, the syringe pierced his thigh.
"I will die with you!" he shouted, and two bomb metal balls rolled out from his hung men. However, there was no explosion sound. Instead, he twitched under the influence of the poison and screamed in pain.
Xu Huo released Wang Mo.
The person who was imprisoned on the spiral staircase a second ago was still a little confused when he suddenly returned to the real world. It seemed that he couldn't tell whether the person he saw in front of him was real or fake, but Pu Gaoshan's scream reminded him.
Seeing that the man opposite was still spinning the bomb ball he had made in his hand, his expression sank, but before he could do anything, the fingers of his left hand were cut off!
"Don't move." Xu Huo reminded him, and at the same time, he displayed the "Everything Wants to Cut Everything" that had been arranged in advance. The horizontal and oblique lines had already stuck Wang Mo's whole body in the middle.
Wang Mo covered his fingers slightly and looked at him angrily, "I don't know the real reason. This is Mr. Kang's order!"
"Why?"
"How do I know!" Wang Mo raised his voice slightly, "I only care about the machine!"
"Jiang Wenzhang didn't reveal it to you... It seems that he did." Xu Huo paused, "What did he say?"
Wang Mo took a deep breath, wrapped the wound with gauze and said, "He said Mr. Kang said that you might stay and join Xiaohe City."
Xu Huo frowned slightly, "Has anyone stayed here before?"
"What's weird about this?" Wang Mo asked back: "Players can also change their resident partition..."
Before he finished speaking, the tangent lines around him shrank half an inch toward the middle, forcing him to straighten his body and also causing his words to come to an abrupt end.
"Why are you pretending to be confused? Won't the game notify me that I have entered a high-risk dungeon?" Xu Huo raised his eyebrows, "Don't you think that building a small town with hundreds of people in a high-risk dungeon can make people believe that high-risk dungeons can also be normal?
Game partition, right?”
"You can't even fool a ten-year-old child."
Wang Mo glanced at the tangents on the left and right and said: "There are really people staying."
"But I don't know the reason, and neither does Pu Gaoshan." He continued, "For people like you who come in unexpectedly, or who come in at high risk and at random, more or less people will stay."
"Didn't you ask why?" Xu Huo asked.
"What's the reason?" Wang Mo sneered, "If you can survive outside, who wants to stay in this hellish place? Since you haven't left, you must have your own difficulties. We are not brothers and friends. What can we do if we ask?"
After a pause, he added: "Jiang Wenzhang must know that he and Gong Jiaji listen to Mr. Kang the most."
Xu Huo threw out a small bag of green mushrooms, "Have you ever seen this thing?"
Mushroom soup often appears on the dining tables in Xiaohe City, and Wang Mo certainly recognizes it.
"When I came down, I heard Jiang Wenzhang and Zheng Da talking about picking these hallucinogenic mushrooms. Do you feel anything after eating them?"
Wang Mo was stunned for a moment, "What is there that can't be eaten in this damn place?"
"Since you can eat anything, there is no need to come here specifically to pick this kind of mushroom." Xu Huo thought for a while and then asked: "Every time there is a strange disappearance, outsiders should make up the majority."
"Is this weird?" Wang Mo asked quickly: "Can you guys stay in the room honestly?"
"Approximately how many people have to go missing each time before it ends?"
"Not necessarily. It's different every time. The time may be longer or shorter. It doesn't mean that more people will die if the time is longer."
This is completely out of order... Xu Huo thought for a moment and then said, "Has anyone ever suspected Mr. Kang?"
Wang Mo chuckled, "Do you think this is what Mr. Kang did? I tell you, that's impossible, because Mr. Kang once had a son who disappeared like this. I saw it with my own eyes, and Mr. Kang was also present!"
It was obvious that he wasn't lying.
If this is true, then the bizarre disappearances that occurred in Little River City have nothing to do with players, but an irregular danger to outsiders in high-risk dungeons.
This should be uncontrollable and can only be avoided through certain methods.
But another point is very strange. Mr. Kang seems to be very sure that some of the players from outside will stay in Xiaohe City - from the perspective of outside players, this is almost impossible.
Regardless of whether a high-risk person comes here randomly or enters here by accident, he can leave as soon as the dungeon time is over. It has no impact on the player himself, so why stay here? Even if someone is really crazy and wants to stay here with a group of cannibals.
Players share the joys and sorrows together, and will be randomly removed once the three months are up.
In other words, the only people left after the final screening were those who directly and randomly went from one wormhole point to another... Why should Xiaohe City keep people?
Xu Huo's eyes fell on the mushrooms on the ground, but he looked away the next second. It was impossible with just a few hallucinogenic mushrooms, not to mention that all the players in Xiaohe City were eating this kind of thing, and no one noticed anything was wrong.
Or is it related to the unique phenomenon of mysterious disappearances in Xiaohe City?
In any case, the possibility that the players in Xiaohe City would try to keep the foreign players here is very slim. Since they did not stay on their own initiative, they would have to be forced to do so.
