"Don't mind." Su Er smiled falsely: "Smart people are all very smart. Simple scams can be effective, such as those with someone behind the scenes..."
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly again.
"Soul."
Someone outside was calling his name.
"Go ahead." Sur waved his hand and took a big step forward.
The Camellia Princess's eyes changed slightly. The other party's indirect compliment just now actually made her feel good. After all, her words and deeds revealed that she was smarter than the smiling businessman.
Routine, absolutely a routine.
Even though she knew it, it still couldn't change the fact that Princess Camellia felt a little relieved for a while.
…
The old Taoist priest collapsed on the stairs, his mouth spitting white foam mixed with blood, which dripped onto the edge of the stairs, making it look disgusting. Zhu Yu stood at the entrance of the stairs, scornfully glancing at the old Taoist priest, who looked like mud. "He said there's a secret room here, but he doesn't know where it is."Priest accessories
Su Er calmly walked up to the old Taoist priest and asked softly, "When did the Mummy Hall become a secret room?"
The old Taoist priest was horrified: "You..."
From the change in expression, Su Er knew who was telling the truth between the other party and Li Shuo, and he sneered immediately.
Zhu Yu knew that he had been deceived, and kicked the old Taoist priest angrily. At the same time, he was curious about how Su Er found out the truth.
"I promised Li Shuo that I would let him go if I told him the truth."
The old Taoist priest, who was in a semi-conscious state, shuddered and woke up, shouting angrily: "If I knew there was a chance to survive, I would have told you too!"
Why was he subjected to severe torture when he came here?
Zhu Yu, displeased with the old Taoist priest's noise, knocked him unconscious with a single blow and threw him directly onto the street outside the museum. Occasionally, there were sojourners passing by, and the old Taoist priest was severely injured, so one could imagine what would happen to him.
"Don't think I'm cruel," she clapped her hands and looked at Su Er. "This Taoist priest has done a lot of bad things. Not killing him directly is already very merciful."
Sur only cared about one thing: "Deal with the detector first."
Ji Heng was standing in front of the sign with the exhibition hall floor plan, confirming that his destination was on the third floor.
They had never set foot in this area before. Not long ago, they watched the confrontation between the old Taoist priest and Li Shuo on the second floor. They only had a rough idea of it. When they really came up to see the surrounding layout, their hearts, which had just been relieved, were lifted up again.Priest accessories
Those who don't know might think that this is the peacock specimen area. The entire wall in the blind spot is decorated with the pattern of a peacock spreading its tail.
Having witnessed Ji Heng pluck an eyeball from the heart of a peacock on the skylight, Xu Yangyang was also a little eager to try it. However, he was not yet blinded by desire. Before taking action, he glanced at Ji Heng cautiously and said, "Hey, brother, do you have any more?"
The question is quite obscure.
Ji Heng: "If you are not afraid of death, you can give it a try."
Xu Yangyang's expression changed.
"If a peacock has all of these, why would these two go so far?"
Xu Yangyang regained consciousness and began to worry about whether these things were lethal.
Sur had the same idea as him. He took a deep breath and tried to use his charm to feel it and confirm that there was a resentful spirit attached to it.
Xu Yangyang's spiritual power was high, so her judgment was more accurate: "One or two at most, and they're easier to deal with than the ones in the main hall."
The resentful spirits also have triggering conditions. According to previous experience, not staring at each other for a long time can temporarily ensure safety.
Giving up on the chance to gain benefits, the group headed towards the Mummy Hall with a clear purpose. On the way, Jia Kanhua's face turned pale. "How many people have died here?"
There were resentful souls everywhere, almost as numerous as the white fluff floating in the air.
Ji Heng was very calm: "The nature of human experiments is anti-human, but the beneficiaries are ultimately humans."
So there can never be an end.
Not long after he finished speaking, he stopped and looked up at the words above: Mummy Exhibition Hall.
Waves are waves, but Su Er has always been careful about details. He turned his head and said, "First, get one and cut it open."
No one can guarantee that the mummy won't resurrect, and if you kill it all at once and get surrounded, all your efforts will be wasted. However, this kind of thing can be handled by one person. With that, he retreated behind Ji Heng, looking up at the sky and playing with the clay figurines, and remained silent.
Ji Heng: "I just went through a battle and my strength hasn't recovered yet."
It's a dead end anyway, so we have to be more cautious.
Jia Kanhua sighed: "Let me do it."
Even if the decision is made by voting, the result will be the same. Since entering the game, he has always been in a solitary mode and has basically made no contribution.
After entering, Jia Kanhua hesitated for a moment, counting and confirming there were twelve mummies. Concerned that carrying them on his shoulders would be too risky, he dragged one out at random, pointing at the bandages wrapped around it with a forced smile. "The sign says this mummy was a woman. Undressing her isn't something I'm comfortable with..."
During this time, he looked at Zhu Yu with a wry smile, but was glared back at.
Failing to seek help, Jia Kanhua was helpless. As if by magic, floating silver threads appeared from her ten fingers, wrapping themselves around the mummy as if with their own consciousness. Jia Kanhua tightened her grip. Any other person would have been shattered by such force, but the mummy was like a lump of iron, unmovable.
Suddenly, a strong yin energy turned into an air wave and hit him. Jia Kanhua dodged in a panic, and a hole was blasted in the wall behind him.
He was startled and quickly retracted the silver thread.
Sur's eyes changed. Ghosts with physical bodies are more powerful than those without physical bodies. This rule also applies to mummies.
Jia Kanhua retreated to a safe area and the mummy stopped attacking.
"There are eleven more bodies inside." He said with a wry smile.
We can't afford to fight this war of attrition.
"3240." Ji Heng looked at the mummy and suddenly spoke.
"What?"
Ji Heng: "A string of numbers found from the Ghost King."
At the time, Sur thought it was a date and he leaned towards a code, but now it seems more likely to be a string of numbers.
Jia Kanhua realized something and looked at the mummy suddenly. The silver thread was not useless. Although it failed to make the mummy explode, part of the bandage was damaged, and a "7" could be vaguely seen on the yellow-brown shriveled skin exposed at the back of the neck.
"These mummies are all numbered!"
Suer was thoughtful. Li Shuo once said that some people who failed the experiment were made into mummies. The core part of the detector should be hidden in the body of the mummy numbered 3240.
Killing twelve mummies in a row meant at least half of them would have died here, and even if they managed to survive, their equipment would have been burned to ashes. However, if they only had to deal with one of them, it wouldn't be too difficult with everyone working together.
Everyone's attention was focused on Jia Kanhua again.
Jia Kanhua said solemnly, "The silver thread also has a limited usage limit. I will be responsible for numbering five more mummies at most."
Now that one has been eliminated, he is responsible for most of the tasks, and the remaining four only need to face six.
Su Er looked at Zhu Yu: "Ji Heng and I, the three of us, can verify it before you."
Zhu Yu and Xu Yangyang took advantage of the order, so naturally they had no objections.
If you are lucky, you may be able to find it at the beginning and there is no need for subsequent verification.
As it turned out, the luck of these people was average, or perhaps because Sur lowered the average, Jia Kanhua only managed to eliminate wrong answers using the silver line.
"Is it really possible that we're going to find the last one?" He said with a headache. "It seems that the patience of these mummies is about to reach its limit."
There were several times when Jia Kanhua could clearly feel Sen Lin's murderous intent.
When it was Suer's turn, he didn't have the ability to do it himself, so he delegated it to the little clay figure.
"I'm going to... die." The little clay man felt a strong sense of crisis and expressed his refusal.
Sur did not force him. He stood at the door and observed carefully. From the appearance, these mummies were not much different, even their sizes were similar.
While he was thinking, Ji Heng had already begun to squeeze his new eyes: "Which one?"
He blinked his eyes to indicate that he couldn't see through it.
Ji Heng didn't hold much hope either. He had already seen the eye in Suer's body. It could see through the essence of things, but it was still fundamentally different from the X-ray eye.
"The third display case on the left, the second to last on the right." Soul suddenly spoke, the aftereffects of his charm making him a little unsteady. "These two are the hardest to suck."
Ji Heng: "Which one is harder to suck?"
"Hmm... the one on the right..."
The others' expressions turned strange when they heard the serious conversation. Zhu Yu, in particular, immediately began to reflect on why the words had automatically changed her expression.
When the atmosphere became awkward, Ji Heng rushed out like a flash of lightning without any warning and stabbed forward with a knife.
No one present expected him to attack suddenly, probably not even the mummy. By the time he reacted, the dagger had already penetrated an inch into his body.
The tip of the knife stabbed in, but it struggled to move even half an inch. Ji Heng narrowed his eyes, pulled out his dagger, and stepped back, thinking it was even harder to deal with than the peacock. The mummy finally realized what had happened and went into a frenzy. A chilling aura instantly enveloped the nearby people, and the bandages around it suddenly lengthened. Sur wasn't very strong, but his reactions were extremely quick, leaping to the other side the instant the bandages swung towards him.
For some reason, Xu Yangyang's reaction was a little slow, and the place where he was hit was torn apart. Not only that, the blood oozing from the wound was quite smelly.
"Poisonous." He had an ugly expression and even slapped himself: "What time is it! I'm still looking at the mummy's eyes."
Innate skills are useful, but they can also be fatal once they become habits.
Su Er suddenly said, "Heart. Stab the heart!"
During the mummification process, all the internal organs were removed, leaving only the heart.
Xu Yangyang was using props to restore it. Upon hearing this, he said, "After so many years, I'm afraid it would have rotted away long ago."
Su Er sneered: "The one in front of you is a ghost."
Maintaining the state before turning into a ghost is not a problem.
Zhu Yu was the most decisive. The moment Suer opened his mouth, he directly controlled the talisman paper to ignite the bandage. Jia Kanhua seized the opportunity to control the silver thread to drill into the wound just caused by Ji Heng and spread directly into the mummy's body.
Sur was a little envious, this prop was so practical!
The saying "two fists are no match for four hands" also applies to ghosts and humans. The mummy was surrounded, and before it could even deal with the thread embedded in its body, Ji Heng stabbed it again. This time, the blade accurately pierced its already shrunken heart. The mummy began to tremble wildly, and black liquid oozed from the bandages.
Ji Heng frowned and took a step back.
With a loud bang, the mummy fell to the ground and was completely motionless.
A lingering look of horror lingered in Jia Kanhua's eyes, and he dared not advance rashly. Ji Heng, however, walked over, gripped his dagger, and slashed with force. The stench of stench was so strong that everyone around him covered their noses. Within the empty skin, a crystal stood out. Its surface was stained with mucus, and only a few crisscrossing lines could be seen.
He took it out and looked at it carefully under the light, as if he could still hear the buzzing vibration inside. At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of human wisdom.
Just as Ji Heng was about to savor it, the thing in his hand was taken away and thrown to the ground.
The one who could snatch things from his hands smoothly was naturally Sur. After throwing them down heavily several times, he did not forget to step on them with his feet. The little clay figure joined him in crushing the tiny parts.
"Don't waste time..." Su Er wiped the sweat from his forehead: "The longer the night, the more dreams there are."
How many times does he have to emphasize these four words?
"…"
The air became quiet.
In the silence, Camellia Princess appeared, squinting at the messy exhibition hall, and slowly uttered two words: "Congratulations."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yangyang showed an ecstatic expression, but before she could say anything, her head hurt and she fainted on the spot.
Zhu Yu was still thinking about the insect eggs, but unfortunately, he and Jia Kanhua fainted one after another soon after.
Sur kept his eyes on the host to make sure he didn't make a move.
"The game sealed their memory that Ji Heng was an indigenous person." Princess Camellia explained casually.
Sur was not too surprised when he heard this. Once he knew that Ji Heng was a native, he could deduce a lot of things, and it was unlikely that the game would sit idly by.
Princess Camellia waved her hand, sending Zhu Yu and the others away, and then fixed her gaze on Ji Heng: "Have you decided what to choose?"
After asking the question, he didn't give the person a chance to answer: "Actually, there is a third way..."
Su Er couldn't help but interrupt: "Become a host?"
Princess Camellia glanced at him and said coldly, "The truth."
Ji Heng's eyes moved: "What do you mean?"
"If you can glimpse the truth, even if you choose to live in the virtual world, you won't lose your memories of the game." Princess Camellia's expression was somewhat unreadable. "But if you die in the process, you will become a tyrannical and murderous ghost, forever bound and enslaved by the game."
As he spoke, he did not forget to show a cold smile and looked at Su Er: "You can also take this road, are you afraid?"
"Not bad." Su Er thought for a moment and asked, "If I turned into a ghost and worked for you, would you be afraid?"
"…"
Princess Camellia's smile froze. She gave up on arguing and asked directly, "Which way do you want to go?"
Su Er and Ji Heng were both decisive characters, and they both chose to find out the truth.
"Five minutes, stand still and do nothing," Princess Camellia replied. "I'm going to contact the other host now to see if they want to take you directly to that dungeon or at a later time."
Soul nodded cooperatively.
Princess Camellia looked at him suspiciously, snapped her fingers and disappeared.
·
"I got it first."
The boy used the props to grab what he found first.
The middle-aged man behind him had a dark face.
The host sat on a high stool, watching the scene with amusement. He had just brought his glass to his lips when he suddenly put it down and looked in a certain direction.
"What are you doing here?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, all the players searching in the abandoned bar looked up. The man raised his eyebrows slightly, and those curious eyes instantly converged. Several players even moved towards the door, trying to keep a certain distance.
Princess Camellia was originally planning to leave after finishing her business, but now, seeing that these people were deeply afraid of the host's reaction, she instantly recalled what she had experienced in the past few days.
After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but sniff hard, with a look of envy on his face: "...other people's players."
