81-90

chapter 81

The pursuit in the villa lasted for eight hours.

It should be noon now, but all the doors and windows are sealed, blocking the light from outside. The lights in the room are dim, creating an atmosphere of doomsday on all sides, and it is impossible to tell whether it is day or night. The

random teleportation every half an hour makes it impossible for the players to reach the final destination in time. There is a 90% chance that they will meet the twelve evil spirits on the way, and then fall into endless hiding and escaping. The escape route is always mysterious and avoids the corridor on the third floor, and cannot reach the metal door.

Obviously, the evil spirits don't want them to go there.

Two hours ago, Fu Lanyu and Qiao Yunzheng just found the torn body of the man in white somewhere on the fifth floor.

At the same time, they also found that the glass door on the left was missing a door panel.

Those door panels were written with runes, which were undoubtedly used to defend against evil spirits. It seems that someone took such an important prop first. It

's either the twin brothers or the girl with dreadlocks.

But later, Fu Lanyu narrowed down the scope of suspicion. The one who took the glass shield could only be the girl with dreadlocks.

Because after another teleportation, she ran into the twin brothers.

At that time, the older twin brother was injured, with severe lacerations from the shoulder to the abdomen, and blood stained half of his shirt red, which was shocking.

The cross badge on the chest of the younger twin brother had also been broken, which shows how dangerous the situation was before. When

the younger brother saw them, he immediately became alert, and his five knuckles clenched and creaked, obviously ready to fight if he disagreed.

The relationship between the two brothers is really good, and both sides have the drive to fight for each other. They

are connected by blood, and they support each other all the way. This kind of feeling is deeply rooted in their bones, and Fu Lanyu can understand it.

So she was very patient and even gave them some advice.

"Don't be nervous. We won't take advantage of others. Your brother is already so injured that he won't live long. Why should we do this?"

"..."

Qiao Yunzheng smiled and reminded: "Sister Lan, if you are not good at comforting, don't comfort me. This is a bit direct."

"I am just stating the facts. I am not used to being euphemistic when stating the facts."

The younger brother gritted his teeth fiercely: "If you are here to see the joke,

then forget it as soon as possible. My brother will definitely live longer than you." "I don't have the time." Fu Lanyu said, "I think you two brothers will die faster if you sit here when the ghosts chase you later."

Facts have proved that in addition to her bad luck, she occasionally activates the poisonous milk skill, and the good things don't come true, but the bad things come true.

Before she finished speaking, Qiao Yunzheng, who was wearing psychic glasses, turned around and his expression suddenly turned cold.

"Here they come."

The evil ghosts really chased after them again, and this time there were four of them.

The blacksmith ghost, the officer ghost, the iron cage ghost, and the naked female ghost with a knife that had been appearing in the bathroom before.

In short, they are all high-powered.

The younger brother, who was also wearing glasses, also saw this scene. He immediately carried his injured brother on his back and rushed to the first floor stairs without looking back.

Fu Lanyu and Qiao Yunzheng followed closely behind. The four of them ran for their lives. This embarrassing scene was like a looping movie scene, and it had been repeated countless times.

It would be a lie to say that they were not physically exhausted.

The hammer in the hand of the blacksmith ghost kept hitting the wall and the floor, and cracks and debris flew everywhere. The background was the roar of the iron cage ghost and the shrill laughter of the female ghost, which combined into a song of death.

The four finally went up to the second floor, passed through the winding corridor, and tried to continue to approach the direction of the stairs on the third floor.

However, before they had crossed half of the corridor, there was a mechanical friction sound from the ceiling, as if some mechanism had been activated again.

Fu Lanyu looked up suddenly and saw a sharp iron fence falling from above, and it was about to penetrate the bodies of the two brothers in front of him.

At the critical moment, she and Qiao Yunzheng reached out at the same time and forcibly pulled the two back to their original place.

The iron fence fell to the ground with a bang, blocking the way.

The twin brother looked at Fu Lanyu with a complicated expression, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly pointed behind her.

"Be careful!"

The blacksmith ghost was close at hand, and aimed at Qiao Yunzheng. The huge hammer would fall on Qiao Yunzheng's head in a minute.

At that moment, Fu Lanyu had no time to think. She couldn't see the ghost's direction, so she could only rely on her intuition to meet it and block Qiao Yunzheng.

The hammer hit her squarely, and then was bounced off by a silver light.

She was unharmed, but the cross badge on her chest was broken.

The prop was destroyed again.

Qiao Yunzheng held her and took two steps back, his back pressed against the cold iron fence, watching the four ghosts getting closer and closer.

There was no way to advance or retreat, this seemed to be a dead end.

Unless...

the injured brother, leaning on his brother's back, spoke in a hoarse voice: "It seems that the time has come."

Yes, the time has indeed come.

The layout of the villa changed again. Fu Lanyu suddenly felt the ground beneath her feet collapse. She instinctively leaned back and bumped into Qiao Yunzheng's arms.

Qiao Yunzheng gathered his arms and hugged her tightly.

The wall rose from the ground, and everything in front of them was distorted and changed. The four evil ghosts disappeared from their sight in an instant.

This time, Fu Lanyu, Qiao Yunzheng and the twin brothers were successfully teleported to the same location because they were too close.

Fu Lanyu carefully identified the surrounding environment, and the topographic map in her mind gradually became clear.

"This is the third floor."

Counting from midnight, it was a full twelve hours, and this was probably the closest they had ever been to the final mission location.

Everyone was on the verge of exhaustion. If they wanted to pass the level, this was basically the only chance.

After all, they didn't know where they would go next time they were teleported.

Who knew that before she and Qiao Yunzheng could discuss the most reasonable route, she suddenly heard a soft female voice behind her, with a hint of smile.

"You two, have you forgotten me?"

The girl with dreadlocks came to the third floor at some point, holding up the glass shield that was taller than herself, and walked straight towards this side.

Fu Lanyu looked at the other party for a long time, and replied calmly: "You have found a lot of clues, right? You are worthy of being a high-end player, and even your equipment is a level higher than ours."

"Thank you for the compliment, I'm just a little luckier." The girl with dreadlocks smiled, "I didn't expect that you and your boyfriend were so kind. Obviously, I deliberately created an opportunity to kill these two brothers, but you two insisted on saving them - this game can only survive three people, you have to think about it, who is more reliable to form an alliance with."

"...Did you control the mechanism just now?" Fu Lanyu frowned, as if he had realized something, "Then you also released these twelve ghosts?"

"I found the blueprint marking the location of the mechanism. Someone has to do this first, right?"

Qiao Yunzheng, who had remained silent all the time, asked slowly at this time: "Are you going to form an alliance with us? Why?"

"I heard that you have the correct password to open the metal door on the third floor?" The girl with dreadlocks said word by word, "I have a shield and glasses, and I can definitely join forces with you - the injured person won't live long anyway, isn't it easy for the three of us to deal with the two brothers? Kill one and leave one as a sacrifice, just enough to pass the level."

It sounds like this plan makes sense and is feasible.

But she just overlooked one point, none of the players in the platinum game are cowards who sit and wait for death.

The injured beast is the most dangerous.

Just when she was determined to win and waiting for Qiao Yunzheng and Fu Lanyu's reply, the twin brother who seemed to be dying against the wall just now suddenly propped himself up and rushed to her side.

He looked fierce and decisively stretched out his hand to hold her neck.

The younger brother arrived and kicked her calf bone hard, and then punched her throat when she knelt on her knees.

There was a crisp sound of " ", and the brother's wrist force broke her neck bone.

Everything happened in a dozen seconds, and no one expected the plot to develop in this direction.

This is what a tough guy is like.

The girl with dreadlocks was still frozen in an incredible expression, her head drooped softly to one side, and she stopped breathing.

The brother pushed her to the ground and raised his hand to cover the wound that was bleeding wildly.

He stopped his brother from supporting him, and then raised his head with a pale face, showing a provocative smile to Fu Lanyu and Qiao Yunzheng.

"What do you think? You two don't need to think about it, now you can only form an alliance with us."

"...Okay, we have no objection." Fu Lanyu raised his hand helplessly, "You hold the shield, please pay attention to the surrounding movements, I will lead the way."

...

So the only four people left temporarily reached a relatively stable alliance, with Qiao Yunzheng and Fu Lanyu exploring the way in front, and the twin brothers holding shields in the back to cover, approaching the metal door at the staircase as quickly as possible.

Until they really arrived in front of the metal door, the twin brother should have a special sensitivity to time, he reminded in a deep voice.

"There are at most two minutes left."

Two minutes later, the villa will start transmitting again, which means that they will fail. The

metal door panel feels cold to the touch. Fu Lanyu opened the small window on the door and pressed the four buttons of green, red, yellow and blue in sequence according to the colors indicated on the drawing.

The door panel and the ground made a heavy and harsh friction sound, and the scene inside finally appeared in her sight.

This seems to be a large experimental hall.

The lights in the hall are much brighter than any other light in the villa, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.

In the center of the hall, there is a strange machine emitting dazzling luster. The structure of the machine is extremely complex and abstract, exactly the same as the one drawn in the previous clue book.

It is a soul-calling machine.

The center of the machine is the operating table, and there is a red switch on the left side of the operating table.

... Rather than calling it an operating table, it is better to call it a sacrifice table.

That is the place where living people are sacrificed.

Only by sacrificing a living person and gathering the thirteenth ghost can all the evil ghosts rest in peace and pass the level.

Fu Lanyu took two steps forward and was about to take a closer look at the machine when she heard a loud noise behind her. She turned around and saw her twin brother holding up the glass shield, blocking the door with Qiao Yunzheng.

The younger brother screamed, "The door can't be closed! They are coming!"

This door can't be closed again after it is opened, and the twelve evil ghosts have arrived. They are waving their claws and howling fiercely, trying to break through this line of defense and prevent the soul-calling machine from opening.

Fu Lanyu didn't have psychic glasses and couldn't see the specific situation outside, but judging from the degree of effort Qiao Yunzheng and his brother were putting in, they shouldn't be able to hold on for long.

The glass shield was shaky, and if they continued like this, everyone would die.

She gritted her teeth and turned to look at her twin brother, only to see that he was already walking towards the soul-calling machine.

Blood was still dripping from his wound, leaving a bright red mark on the ground.

He said, "You just saved my brother, so I'm repaying you a favor."

He paused, as if he was talking to her, or as if he was talking to himself.

"If I'm like this, even if I can go back alive, I'll die in the next game sooner or later, and I might even become a burden to him."

"Forget it, I can only go this far with him."

At this time, the younger brother, who was trying his best to fight the evil spirits outside, suddenly turned his head back as if he had telepathy.

"Brother!" He was panicked, "What are you doing? Come down quickly!"

The elder brother walked up the steps, his left foot had already stepped on the altar, and he looked back at him deeply.

"It doesn't matter, is there anything in this world that you can't accomplish?" The elder brother smiled, "I'll wait for you, come to me after you clear Platinum IV - we agreed that this life is too short, and we will still be brothers in the next life."

After saying that, he climbed onto the altar without hesitation, resolutely raised his hand, and pulled down the red switch.

The sharp blades on both sides of the soul-calling machine crisscrossed, forming a thorn prison that trapped him inside.

The altar suddenly sank, and his figure disappeared from the sight of the other three people in an instant.

Soon, dark red blood continuously gushed out from the gap of the machine, staining the snow-white floor tiles on all sides red . "

Ah ... In the game, every player has his or her own story, whether it is life or death, which are all traces of their struggle against this unfair fate .
