As dawn breaks, Qianhong has already reached the finish line.
She passed the electric car home and curiously stuck her head out to look at the world outside.
There are floating stairs in front of her. The basis for her judgment of whether she has reached the end point is whether there are no black walls around and whether the space is large enough. If the blood takes a wrong path, it will keep wandering in the maze.
Qian Hong is very confident in her graphic imagination ability, not to mention the bonus of the current system capabilities.
If conditions allowed, she could even imagine the maze and draw it on paper while controlling her blood. Unfortunately, her sense of direction was not very good and she couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south.
Qian Hong walked out of the maze, carefully stepped on the stairs, and walked down slowly.
Looking from above, there is a city below. It is foggy, as if it is shrouded in black mist. The arrangement of the city is very like a maze.
Just in case, Qian Hong sent over her cell phone and took a few photos: "Maybe it will come in handy. Let's take a few more photos from different angles."
The stairs in the air were very long, and Qian Hong was still in a state of excessive blood loss. Although she did not feel tired, she could clearly feel that her concentration had dropped.
It is still in [Offline] mode, and I estimate that I will always be like this until the round starts.
…
It took several hours just to go down the stairs to the ground, because Qian Hong was afraid that he would be killed if he accidentally stepped on the air.
She stretched, jumped a few times, and said happily: "It feels so good to be back on the ground. I don't have to worry about it all the time."
There was no announcement that the round had started, which meant that there were still people in the maze.
Qian Hong had nothing to do now, and she didn't see other players around. She looked inside the shops on the street, but no one was open.
So Qian Hong stayed away from the place down the stairs and sat down in a house that looked like a coffee shop on a remote street.
She opened the pictures she had taken on the stairs and looked at them carefully.
"Well... it really looks like a maze..." Qian Hong thought for a long time, and then made a circle around the place where she just came down: "This is the starting point."
Then she circled where she was now: "It's okay anyway, let's start walking the maze."
Because her phone might run out of battery, Qian Hong simply copied a map and marked the correct route.
She still remembered that one of the victory conditions was "find the exit."
But there are quite a few exits on this map, and I don’t know which one is correct.
In a blink of an eye, it was late at night.
Qian Hong had no intention of turning on the light in the room where she was.
She walked to the back of the coffee shop to look for a lounge, but she didn't expect it to be there, so she planned to sleep in the lounge, but then she found that she couldn't sleep.
"..." Not sleepy.
Qian Hong couldn't sleep and felt bored, so she simply started chatting with her change.
"Zero One, do you want to eat?"
"I do not need."
"Can you cook?"
"Master, I can learn."
"Can you not call me master? Just call me Qian Hong."
"Okay, Master."
"..."You kid, you are so rebellious.
"In the world where the master lives, what are the things that can be eaten?"
"It's quite a lot, but it's a pity that you can't eat it."
…
The enjoyable evening passed quickly, from chatting about food to ideals to games about the universe and survival.
Qian Hong talked like a chatterbox, scolding everything that should be said or not, and chatting happily with Ling Yi.
As an NPC, he wanted to know quite a lot, and he even complained to her about his superiors and colleagues.
For example, that TV with wings has a private hobby of collecting remote controls... The founder of the game in this world secretly added a lot of mutant SSR cards to satisfy his curiosity...
"Ling Yi, when you say these things, aren't you afraid that the data will be uploaded and the administrator will delete you?"
"No, I will automatically destroy the data in the next game anyway, so I might as well scold you now."
"..."
She was still chatting with Zero One when she suddenly heard a voice in her head.
[The players in the maze have been cleared, and the first round will officially begin in five minutes. 】
Qian Hong has not forgotten that the key word of this round of the game is battle royale, but she is not someone who kills people just to rank high. She has a lot of health points, so there is no need.
So in this round of the game, Qian Hong planned to find a place to hide first. He could win after seven rounds. If he died for more than three rounds, he would use the remaining time to find the exit.
The round hadn't started yet, so she planned to check the situation first.
The girl squatted down furtively and observed the situation outside through the transparent glass of the coffee shop.
"No one is...very nice."
Qian Hong was wondering where to hide when she suddenly remembered the wooden house in the wilderness in the first round.
"How about...find a place to dig a hole and bury yourself? No, I don't know if gamers are human beings..."
"Or, find a basement in a villa and lock it? No... in case of fire, people will die directly inside..."
After much deliberation, I finally came to a conclusion.
Just stay in the coffee shop. It's quite remote here. If you really find it, let's compare who has the higher fighting ability.
Qian Hong shrank back to the employee lounge. There were many cabinets in this room. They were originally used to store clothes, but she could squeeze herself in. If someone really came in, she could hide or bleed. sneak attack.
[The first round begins. 】
Qian Hong felt hungry and sleepy for a moment, as well as the drowsiness caused by excessive blood loss.
"This buff is also superimposed..." I guess some other players may have the same symptoms.
Qian Hong yawned, closed her eyes and fell on the chair, saying to Ling Yi: "Call me if something goes wrong, and take a short nap first."
Now was a great opportunity for the murderer to take action, but she felt that she would lose sight of her other eye, so she should faint first and let her body recover on its own.
The role of the doll companion has emerged. It can stand guard all the time, which is much easier to use than the black box.
"Okay, Master."
Ling Yi watched Qian Hong fall asleep, and ran to the lounge door to stand guard dutifully.
The city was quiet, as if nothing happened.
In a blink of an eye, it was night again.
He looked at the fire and smoke far away from him and wondered what was happening over there.
Then he heard his master calling him: "Ling Yi, come in first."
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qian Hong cooking red unknown organs.
"What is this? Master wants to eat this?"
"No, I lost a lot of blood, so I'm cooking animal liver and instant noodles to replenish my body."
Zero One stared at the pot in confusion for a while, unable to see the original contents, thinking that humans were really weird.
Then he remembered something again: "Master, there is a fire outside far away from here."
Qian Hong slowly put the food next to her, then picked up Zero One: "Go out and have a look!"
Although it was night, Qian Hong did not dare to walk out directly. She still chose to crawl forward as she did during the day. After arriving at the door, she carefully observed the situation outside.
"It's true, the fire there is so big..."
Qian Hong looked at the bright and dazzling flames in the distance and sighed: "How did it burn so big?"
Ling Yi felt something was wrong, thought carefully for a while, and then said to Qian Hong: "Master, when I saw it, the fire was farther away than this house."
"..."
"..."
"...Maybe the arsonist won't come in our direction?"
"Master, run quickly."
