Qian Hong returned the record book to Eileen and asked her doubtfully: "Is there really no way to keep myself sane in the dark fog?"
Eileen shook her head, then moved the hair around her ears, revealing her pointed ears: "According to current research and observations, there is no way. I can travel in the black fog for more than ten years. I am free and sane because my race is not human.”
She pointed at herself and then at Qian Hong, and then said seriously: "Each race has different resistance to this kind of black fog. If you want to take risks in the forest, it is best to avoid the thick black fog. Walk."
Qian Hong nodded: "Thank you, I've given you the things. Thank you for the information. I'll leave first."
Eileen said regretfully: "Won't you stay a little longer?"
She shook her head: "No, thank you."
After saying that, Qian Hong left the cabin and started riding her electric bike towards the giant tree again.
She didn't meet anyone on the road, but she suddenly remembered something. She asked Ling Yi, who had no sense of his presence in the backpack, "Ling Yi, will you be affected by the black mist?"
Zero One was like a computer that started slowly. It took a while before he replied to her: "No, I am a lifeless doll."
"Really?" Qian Hong asked him again: "Then why do you feel pain?"
"I don't know, maybe my soul is hurting?"
"Do the dolls in the game have souls?"
"I think I have a soul."
"That's it...what a magical species."
After all, we’ve seen TV shows that can fly, we’ve seen people-eating toilets, and it’s not uncommon for dolls to think they have souls.
Qian Hong was driving on the forest path, looking at the giant tree in a daze for a while, and then suddenly asked him again: "Then will you be sad because your memory has been formatted and you have forgotten me?"
Zero One thought about it seriously, and then replied to her: "No, I won't be sad if I forget."
"Yes, after all, there are still many next rounds of games. If the NPC becomes sad because of the players, it will be troublesome."
"Master's first few rounds of games...what were they like?"
…
Qian Hong and Ling chatted for a long time while walking along the roadside, but there was no sign of confusion or madness on the road.
Finally, not far from the base of the giant tree, she stretched her arms and legs and sighed: "We are finally here!"
There are many people under the giant tree, it looks like a large team. Qian Hong deliberately kept a distance from them, and she approached quietly, hoping to eavesdrop on some information.
"...Anesthetize...take him away..."
"The rune has been seen...don't know...recorded."
"Others...if they miss it, they can only...door..."
Qian Hong was quite far away, so she couldn't hear clearly what they were saying. It was intermittently, and there were many people talking, so she didn't dare to get very close.
She lurked for a while, and did not dare to come out until the large group left the giant tree.
"Anesthesia? What are the runes? Does the door refer to the end point?"
Qian Hong tried to use her inspiration ability to find the answer, but the strange thing was that sometimes the skills worked sometimes and not working. She didn't quite understand the triggering conditions, so she could only put these questions aside for now.
Use the blood to flow along the trunk to the nearest branch, and then transform into a climbing rope and hook. The hook penetrates deeply into the trunk, and the other end of the rope is locked on the body, and slowly moves upward.
After stepping on the branch, Qian Hong stood firm and continued to repeat this action until she could see the general appearance of the forest and then stopped.
From a high place, she could have a clear view of where the black fog was thickest. She took out a map and recorded the correct route. As she drew, she felt something was wrong.
"Huh? Isn't it just a corner here? Why do we have to turn so many corners?"
Qian Hong looked at the messy routes on the map and planned to use lines of different colors to clearly draw the route on the image taken on her phone.
And when the two colors clearly distinguished the routes, Qian Hong unexpectedly discovered that the extra lines could form a pattern.
This pattern is not a number, nor a language, but more like a pattern or symbol rune.
"Isn't this what those people were talking about just now?"
Qian Hong stared at the rune and frowned: "What's the use of this thing?"
For decryption? Or [is a password].
Password...the password used to open the door at the end? The password used to solve puzzles on the road? The password to open the phone? Password to connect to other people’s WIFI?
Qian Hong guessed everything she could think of, but she couldn't figure it out and had to give up.
There was still some time before dark, and the hand-drawn map had been damaged. She planned to copy a few more maps of the correct route, and then copy out this strange symbol and take a picture.
The head and tail of the maze are very clear and can be seen at a glance. The end point is the edge of the map, and the starting point is in the center of the entire map.
Viewed from a high place, the route is clearly marked with a very thick black pen.
After dark, she dared not go down when she saw people starting fires and fighting on the ground.
Although they were forced to kill this round, looking at the madness of the group of people below, Qian Hong guessed that they had become madmen.
She waited for a long, long time until the people under the tree had finished fighting before going down and feeling the pulses of everyone lying on the ground. With the knife raised and lowered, he swiftly killed a person with a weak pulse.
Then she hid on the top of the tree again.
The sun has just risen and the round is over.
Before Qian Hong could say "good morning" to Zero One, she was already teleported to another place.
It's still the forest, the scene has not changed, and the flying TV series is announcing in the sky again.
"The third round is over! The fourth round begins!"
Qian Hong looked around. She was not as lucky as before. This time she randomly found a place with many people.
Some people were still confused, and some people had already taken action quickly.
Unfortunately, Qian Hong was the one who was attacked.
She dodged the flying bayonet and quickly rolled to the other side. The blood seeping from under the skin tissue quickly formed a protective shield.
The confusion effect of the black mist was cleared, and Qian Hong had no intention of killing anyone. She quickly ran away and went to a place with many trees and leaves.
The people behind him were chasing after him. Although it was a maze, they followed closely and were not thrown away.
Qian Hong heard him vaguely say: "Points, such a powerful person must have points."
"I don't have points, and I'm not very good..."
Qian Hong cried out "unjustly" in grievance, but the points maniac didn't care about this and was still chasing her. It seemed that he would not give up until he died.
Although her physical fitness had improved a lot, she still lost to the local NPC player behind her. So she stopped and used her blood to transform weapons, and said to him fiercely: "Let's fight! Let's see who can kill." Who."
The two were fighting together, and the people chasing behind them also joined the melee. No one was in a gang, and their goal was to kill whoever they could.
Local NPC players are not afraid of death because they do not have to survive for three rounds as required by the survival game.
Qian Hong was inevitably injured. The flame ability user was very restrained in controlling her blood. No matter how much blood she drew, it would be evaporated.
She fell to the ground on the battlefield with an expressionless face and her body was trampled several times.
After becoming familiar with death, Qian Hong seemed to have nothing to fear. She was talking about why she was not dead yet.
