"Okay, let's start the second and final round of selection now."
Tang Sheng pointed to the Yehou statue on the table and said seriously: "Now please place your hands on the head of this statue one by one. The one who persists the longest will get this statue."
As soon as Tang Sheng finished speaking, Liu Xing heard the sound of the dice falling to the ground again.
However, I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Liu Xing seemed to hear the sound of a switch being pressed at the familiar sound of the dice hitting the ground.
Just when Liu Xing was still a little confused, a player stood up first and put his hand directly on the head of the Yehou statue. Then, as if he was electrocuted, he immediately stretched out his hand, and even his whole body
They all took two steps back before stopping.
"Here, is this thing electrified? Why do I feel like I'm being struck by thunder as soon as I touch it?"
When the player wanted to say something, he saw Sun Xiao's two bodyguards taking half a step forward, which frightened him so much that he did not dare to say anything more.
After all, this person is under the eaves and has to bow his head.
"Unfortunately, it seems that this friend is not the destined person I want to find, so now I invite the next friend to try."
Just as Tang Sheng finished speaking, another player stood up, but he also learned from the experience of one less player. After taking a deep breath, he touched the head of the Yehou statue. It seemed that it had been prepared in advance.
Psychological construction.
Then, when the player's hand touched the head of the Yehou statue, Liu Xing noticed that the player's body trembled, but his hand still did not move away.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xing knew that the first player was not very unlucky, and the result was a big failure, but that the feeling of electric shock was the showdown prepared by the Cthulhu Running Team Game Hall!
This reminded Liu Xing that when he was a child, he would dismantle the used plastic lighters at home, and then take out the igniter inside, because this igniter is really suitable for making pranks, and there will be no
There is too much risk, because the voltage is not strong and the current comes and goes quickly. Even if you press it at the same time, it will not continue to discharge.
So without precautions, this igniter can scare 99.9% of people, but if you use this igniter on yourself, you will only feel a little pain.
But it's still acceptable.
Liu Xing estimated that this Yehou statue was like this, and it could scare those who encountered it for the first time. If you were prepared, then this little trick would be of no concern.
So the first player to take advantage of the situation is just trying and making mistakes for everyone.
What a good person.
At this time, the second player had also let go of his hand, but his expression was a little dazed and he looked absent-minded.
Tang Sheng seemed to have guessed that this would be the case, so he waved his hand and asked one of Sun Xiao's bodyguards to help the second player to his position.
driven to distraction.
Liu Xing looked at the player and thought of these four words in his mind. It seems that in addition to having an anti-theft power grid, this Yehou statue also has its own hypnotic function.
However, having learned from the past, Liu Xing now doubts that this hypnosis function is also trigger-type, that is, what did the second player do to cause himself to be hypnotized...
So Liu Xing recalled the previous situation and found that after the player glanced at the eyes of the Yehou statue, he suddenly stopped making other movements, and then let go of his hand within a few seconds.
Eyes?
This is quite a standard plot.
Because two players failed in succession, and the failures were somewhat strange, Liu Xing and the remaining three players did not dare to take action at will, lest they become wedding dresses for others.
After all, the Yehou Statue is not simple at first glance, and after listening to its background story, I feel that it is even more simple, so Liu Xing feels that this thing should have a third layer, or even more layers of mechanisms, so
Players who try earlier will suffer more.
However, Tang Sheng had already expected this, so he said with a smile: "It seems that everyone has discovered that this statue is not simple, so they are worried that they will make wedding dresses for others, but this is normal, and I am too
That’s understandable; however, I came here to borrow the precious land of Baiyu Tower, so I can’t delay Shopkeeper Sun’s time, so I’ll ask you to draw lots now.”
Sun Xiao nodded, then took out a lottery tube from under the table and chair, and then took out some of the lottery tickets, and finally only four were left.
“Every lot here is of different lengths, so after we draw the lots, let’s start trying them in order from longest to shortest!”
Sun Xiao casually pushed the lot in front of Liu Xing, and Liu Xing decided to pull out one without even thinking about it. After all, there is no skill in drawing lots, and there is no cheating.
It just depends on luck.
But at this moment, Liu Xing suddenly felt blessed, and subconsciously took out a lottery ticket that he had not intended to take.
Short signature!
Liu Xing looked at the short stick that was about the same as his little finger, and knew that he was safe this time, because there should be no shorter stick in this stick!
The most important thing is that Liu Xing feels that the reason why he is so blessed is probably because Ao Guanhai reminds him!
As expected, Liu Xing became the last player to try!
But what Liu Xing didn't know was that when Ao Guanhai saw him suddenly changing a lottery ticket, his face suddenly became serious, because he knew that it had nothing to do with him.
So who is reminding Liu Xing?
The Black Pharaoh on the side also frowned, because he also realized that this matter was not simple.
"Is the eldest lady helping him? But this shouldn't be the case. The eldest lady has the same authority as us in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, so if she wants to modify the module, we can still find some
There are clues! But Liu Xing had obviously chosen another lottery just now, and then changed to another lottery at the last moment. This is obviously unreasonable.
Even if this is the Cthulhu Run Game Hall."
These words of Black Pharaoh left Ao Guanhai speechless and could only sigh.
After a while, Ao Guanhai said: "Perhaps this martial arts module has something to do with the former Liu Xing, but this plot may have been arranged by Liu Xing, so he knew which one he should smoke.
But the current Liu Xing does not have that memory, so he behaves so strangely, as if someone is secretly giving instructions.”…
The Black Pharaoh thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, judging from the mechanisms on the Night Roar Statue, it is indeed in line with Liu Xing's human cognition, such as the electric shock mechanism and gaze hypnosis at the beginning, and
The illusions and other mechanisms that will appear later can be regarded as classic scenes in human movies; anyway, if I were to design it, I would directly arrange a real dream for these players, just when they touch the Night Howl Statue
In the blink of an eye, you will find yourself in a forest, and then a one-to-one reproduction of Night Roar will appear. Whoever can hide longer will get this statue."
"Yes, the sound of the dice falling to the ground that Liu Xing and other players heard just now was an interference item, because there was no judgment at all, so the key to victory or defeat is how long these players can last under these small mechanisms! But in
It seems to these players that the judgment just made has already determined their victory or defeat, so even if they are aware of the existence of these mechanisms, they will regard these mechanisms as secondary factors that affect the outcome, so players will be careful about these mechanisms, but
I don’t take it too seriously, and I even feel that no matter what I do, a certain mechanism will definitely be triggered.”
Ao Guanhai looked at the other brothers and sisters around him, and then whispered: "So at this time, the person who appears last has an absolute advantage, because as long as he carefully observes the situation of other players, he can find out how they are doing.
A certain mechanism is triggered, so that he can avoid these mechanisms at the first time, so as long as he does not take any unnecessary actions at this time, the winning rate will be over 90%!"
Just as Ao Guanhai said, Liu Xing carefully observed the attempts of the other three players, and found that if the players touched the back of the head of the Yehou statue, it would not take long for them to feel that their hands were suddenly gone!
Because the player grabbed the "disappeared" hand with his other hand, he first looked at it carefully with a surprised look on his face, and then asked Liu Xing and others if they had seen his hand.
Then there is another player who changed his gesture, as if he pinched the head of the statue of Yehou. After all, the head of Yehou is more "distinctive", like a sprouted single head of garlic. You
You can either touch the garlic underneath or the sprouts emerging from the top.
But so far, all players have chosen the garlic at the bottom, because this part is more in line with the "head" in human cognition.
I don’t know whether it was because his gesture was wrong this time, or because he pinched the “ears” of the Yehou statue. In short, this man suddenly covered his ears, as if he heard some huge noise.
As for the last player, he wanted to go off the beaten track, so he didn't touch the head of the Yehou statue as Tang Sheng asked.
As a result, when he just touched the arm of the Night Howl Statue, he immediately retracted his hand just like the first player.
It seems that the "voltage" may have become stronger because this player broke the rules.
So when it was Liu Xing's turn, Liu Xing learned the lessons from the previous players. After being mentally prepared, he touched the part where the garlic sprouted. As a result, Liu Xing also felt an electric current gushing from the Yehou Statue.
out, then...
There's no after that.
At this time, Liu Xing closed his eyes and did not move, intending to remain unchanged in response to the changes. In the end, nothing happened, but Liu Xing could feel that the Yehou statue seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.
It's like touching a potato that heats up on its own.
Soon, the Yehou Statue became a hot potato, and Liu Xing had no choice but to let it go.
However, Liu Xing has been reciting the numbers in his heart, so Liu Xing can be sure that he should be the final winner!
Sure enough, when Liu Xing let go, Tang Sheng stood up and said: "Congratulations to this friend for getting this statue! My mission is finally completed."
"Congratulations." Sun Xiao also said.
Then, there is the system reminder.
"Congratulations to the player for successfully completing the first stage of the personal mission - obtaining the Nighthowl Statue! At the same time, you also obtained a special achievement - Nyarlathotep is watching you! From now on, players please keep the distance from the Nighthowl Statue
You are no more than ten kilometers away, and you are always within your control! If the distance is too far, or the Night Howl Statue is taken away by others and actually owned for one day, then this personal mission will fail, and the player will also
receive punishment!"
Because the martial arts module has no time to stop, Liu Xing has no time to pay attention to this system message now.
"Uh, is that it?"
Liu Xing originally wanted to say something, but for a moment he couldn't think of what to say, because the process of obtaining this Yehou Statue was very simple in a sense, or it could be said that he took the previous five players
Being a stepping stone allowed me to have the last laugh without any effort.
The most important thing is that this Yehou statue, through a series of previous foreshadowings, seems to be a statue that is born with a curse, which is equivalent to the existence of the demon sword next door.
Down?
This is unreasonable!
"Yes, it's over! Master Dong Dao has told me that only those who are destined to be able to control the statues he carved out! Not only will these destined people not encounter any problems because of these statues,
problems, and there may also be opportunities!”
Looking at Liu Xing, who was a little embarrassed, Tang Sheng continued: "When this set of statues was just born, Chai Kun, the head of the Buyi Sect and a long-time friend of Master Dong Dao, came to have a fortune telling and discovered that this
Although the statue itself is a sign of great misfortune, if you can meet the right owner, you can turn the bad luck into good luck, so Master Dong Dao ordered us to find a suitable person for these statues."
Chai Kun in Tang Sheng's mouth is currently recognized as the number one person in Yi studies. He has made divination for the New Dragon Emperor many times! Although neither the New Dragon Emperor nor Chai Kun announced what they calculated, from the time the New Dragon Emperor gave Chai Kun
The rewards and respect for Chai Kun showed that Chai Kun's calculations should be quite accurate.
Moreover, many leaders of sects are also friends of Chai Kun, and they also respect Chai Kun very much.
"So that's the case, then I'll feel at ease."
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Sun Xiao sent someone to wrap up the Yehou statue. After Liu Xing took the statue, another sentence came to his mind.
"Why?"
Why?
There was no change on Liu Xing's face, but after thanking Tang Sheng and Sun Xiao, he left with the Yehou statue.
