The locals still firmly believed in the existence of the shouts even though they could not hear the shouts, indicating that this situation must have happened more than once. Therefore, even though they could not hear anything, they still chose to stop it forcefully instead of treating it as a child.
prank or fantasy.
If this inference is true, then it will be easy to distinguish between real "hidden friends" and pretending players.
Another important thing to note is that the replacement player qualifications of the game cannot find the wrong person, nor can they not find the person. This means that they cannot target locals or non-dungeon players, and "hidden friends"
"Only one friend is needed every day, which means that one player will disappear every day, no more, no less. No matter how the actors rotate their identities, only one player will disappear every day.
There are two fewer people in the copy today.
The first person to disappear was Deng Guang, who came to call Xu Huo. According to Pao Dou and the others, he was indeed the first actor. There was a prompt in the game, so it was indeed a bit strange that he disappeared...
When his thoughts turned to this point, Xu Huo suddenly paused. When he came in, the number of people in the dungeon was 39, but it does not mean that the total number of people in the entire dungeon was 39.
So it is very possible that before he came, someone had violated the rules of hiding and was called away by the real "hidden friend".
What are the hidden rules?
Killing locals? Or killing players without playing? Or pretending to be "hidden friends"? Too many people died?
"Young man," the old man came over with a basket of thin canes and sat next to him. He said while working, "You want to go with those two people?"
Xu Huo nodded thoughtfully, "It's safer if there are more people. I'm afraid of running into friends who are hiding."
The old man's eyes were focused on his own work, "Those two young men didn't seem to be good people. They were asking around in the village, not knowing what they wanted to inquire about. Many of these outsiders were unreasonable and did not say a few words.
If they want to take action, we don't dare to mess with them. Don't be fooled, the fog is so heavy, if they want to rob and kill you, and bury you in the woods, who can find you?"
"It shouldn't be the case." Xu Huo said: "They are dungeon players, and they still want to rely on me to get out."
"This is not necessarily true." The old man patted the back of his hand with his rough palm, "When you go out, it is better to be careful than anything else."
Xu Huo thanked them and then said: "But I have already promised them, if I regret it..."
"You go quietly." The old man whispered: "I will give you a direction when the time comes, and they will definitely not dare to chase you."
"Those unreasonable young people may be brave or timid."
That doesn't mean that the fog doesn't completely block the player's senses. If he really walks out, they can follow him.
Lifting the cane in the basket, Xu Huo asked: "Old man, what do you want to weave?"
"Make a waterproof coat." The old man held up the thing in his hand. "The leaves of this rattan can be waterproof. If you make it into clothes and wear it, it will not get wet no matter how heavy the fog is."
Xu Huo watched for a while and then volunteered to help.
After working for a while, he said again: "If my sister and I leave quietly, I'm afraid they will cause trouble for you."
The old man didn't care much, "I have lived so many years, am I still afraid of death? If they kill people today, they will be killed tomorrow."
Xu Huo wanted to say something else but was interrupted by her, "The clothes are ready, you can try them on."
"For me?" Xu Huo was a little surprised.
The old man took the clothes and put them on for him, "I still have one at home. Each of you brothers and sisters will wear one when you leave. This is much more affordable than your own clothes."
The old man really wanted Xu Huo and the painting girl to leave early. At dawn the next day, she woke them up and asked them to pick up their luggage and leave from another direction. That was not the way she pointed out before.
"You guys go around a bit." The old man gave him a small cloth bag. "When you see this kind of grass in the bag, just follow the direction where the grass grows. You can also get out of the forest."
She was very thoughtful and eliminated the possibility of anyone eavesdropping or prying.
The small kitchen door at the back opened gently, and the old man sent them out and patted their shoulders, "Run, start running, just run for a while and you'll be fine!"
Xu Huo nodded solemnly, stepped out of the threshold, and ran towards the depths of the forest with the painting girl.
Just as their figures disappeared, the two players next door also came out, glanced at the old man fiercely, and chased after him.
The old man's family stood at the door and did not move for a long time, until the person next door opened the window. Both families looked at the direction Xu Huo and the others left, their faces half hidden in the mist.
Not long after Xu Huo and Hua Nu ran away, they were overtaken by Paopao Bean. The two blocked them one after another. Master Yin Yang covered them with blocking tools and sneered: "Run, you guys run again."
Ah, if you can run away, I will take your last name!"
Xu Huo blocked the painting girl behind him and stared at the two of them, "What on earth do you want to do! The one who called me in the forest yesterday must be your companion. I have already said that I am not a player of your dungeon. You kill me."
There's nothing I can do about it."
The expressions of the two people were slightly different, but they were concealed without leaving any trace. Pao Dou said: "What kind of companions? There are only two of us from the beginning to the end. You won't see the hidden friend, right?"
"Whatever you say!" Xu Huo snorted coldly, "You just want to attack me!"
"Come on, two against two, we may not lose!"
Master Yin Yang really wanted to "conquer" them, but Pao Dou signaled his companions to calm down, and changed his previous stern smile, "What our brothers told you yesterday was the truth. This is B
Level dungeon, you, a C-level player, can only enter by mistake, we have no need to target you."
"On the contrary, we still need your help. You can rest assured that we will never hurt you. You don't need to run. Besides, there are not many people in the forest. Where can you run?"
Xu Huo's expression changed, but he did not speak.
"Don't toast and eat as a penalty," Master Yin Yang said: "If you weren't needed, I would have killed you long ago!"
"How do I know what you are saying is true?" Xu Huo gritted his teeth, "Besides, you are so scared because you are worried about being found by your hidden friends. Don't think that I don't know. You can't completely avoid hidden friends when you are together.
!”
Paopao Bean's patience ran out, "It's not up to you. If you don't nod, you can die now."
A flying ring flew out from behind him and swirled around Xu Huo and the two. The sharp blades whizzed and could cut their throats at any time!
The painting girl was weak and helpless, and she trembled and pulled Xu Huo's sleeve.
