Looking at the people coming and going in the mall, Kotomaru felt uneasy.
It was not yet four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was still high in the sky, although she knew that no matter how hot it was, it would not help.
At this time, Mingyue was sitting next to Kotomaru, observing the surroundings vigilantly while looking down at her phone from time to time.
Before this global game started, Kotomaru was also a real internet addicted girl. She could stay away from home for a whole day just by hugging her phone. However, after the game started, the network was paralyzed. Sometimes she subconsciously picked up her phone to open the game, and got The result is of course "Network Unavailable"
Later, even the electricity stopped. When night came, I could only rely on precious electricity cards to keep the light on, and I was reluctant to charge my once-favored mobile phone.
"When was the last time you saw a bright mobile phone screen?" Kotomaru thought silently in his heart.
She subconsciously glanced at Mingyue's mobile phone screen and saw that Mingyue was searching for relevant terms about the serial murder case in Ziyang City next door.
People were coming and going around, and from time to time a child holding a hydrogen balloon passed by.
Mingyue browsed the webpage for a while, then lowered her voice and whispered to the other two people: "I don't know who the ghost killed before, but looking at the description of the serial murder case next door, the murderer killed eight people in two days, but The death times of these eight people were basically different, only three died together because they were in a group, and the death times of the other deceased were several hours apart."
Grassland took over the words: "It means that the ghost cannot teleport. If it wants to kill two people who are not in the same place, it has to kill one of them first and then go to the second one?"
Mingyue nodded slightly: "It looks like this. I think the chance of survival is higher if you spread out and run away in different directions."
Kotomaru looked at the two people beside him: "So the three of us together are quite dangerous, right? If a ghost comes to kill people, it will definitely kill us all."
Mingyue suddenly smiled and shook her head: "Let me ask you, if you were a ghost, you wanted to kill the nine players who entered the dungeon, but your movement was limited and you couldn't teleport or separate. Now the nine players are divided into two waves. There are three people in one wave and six people in the other wave, which side do you kill first?"
"Of course, kill those six people first... because those six people may suddenly separate at some point, so you have to kill them before they separate." When he said this, Kotomaru looked up at Mingyue, "What do you mean? The ghosts will kill them first, are we safe for now?”
"Of course," Mingyue put away her phone, "the more people gather in this dungeon, the more detrimental it will be to the players. I think the ghost has already targeted that group of people now."
"But those six people look difficult to deal with. When I do the questions, I always do the easy ones first and then think about the difficult ones." Kotomaru was a little worried.
"You also said that you will only skip it when you encounter difficult problems. In front of ghosts, all of us players are given simple questions. Do you think ghosts will be stumped by players? Impossible, so we are all safe before they are all dead. "
On the wide road, a broken van was driving at high speed.
Liu Ruyan's van was quite shabby to begin with, and it was not easy to squeeze six people into it at once, not to mention there was a fat man among them.
The sun was hanging in the western sky at half past four. At this time, Gu Mian and others were almost at their destination.
The person driving was not Gu Mian, but Liu Ruyan.
At this time, Gu Mian was sitting in the passenger seat, and Fatty Chu Changge and the others were all sitting on the seats in the second and third rows.
Gu Mian heard Chu Changge's voice coming from behind: "I have learned about the serial murder cases in Ziyang City before. Except for the three deceased who died together at the same time, the others died some time apart."
Fatty immediately understood what Chu Changge said: "It means that ghosts can't teleport or clone themselves? In this case, it would be more advantageous to run separately, right?"
"That's right," Chu Changge pushed up his glasses, "Theoretically, the farther away the nine players are, the fewer people the ghost can kill in two days, so the ghost should like the players to get together...
"But regardless of this for the moment, I think all theories can be invalidated in the face of absolute force, so we are not the ones in danger now."
Hearing this, the fat man hugged the guitar bag in his arms tightly.
"Since we are safe before all six of them die, what happens after all six of them die?" In the mall with people coming and going, Kotomaru looked at the bright moon beside him.
"I can't predict when they will die, but because the six of them are together, if they are targeted by ghosts, they will be finished soon. I don't think the six of them will survive tonight, but we'd better Make plans early," Mingyue said while looking at the grassland on the other side. "Now that we know it is more beneficial to spread out, I suggest that the three of us find a car and head in three different directions before the mall closes. , the farther you run, the better.”
"I can't drive," Kotomaru looked a little worried, "Can I take a taxi?"
But even if you’re taking a taxi, the driver probably won’t accept the request to “keep moving forward and don’t stop.”
Mingyue shook her head: "We can't guarantee whether the driver is safe. You also saw Bixian's answer. Nine people died in the Ziyang serial murder case but there were only eight corpses. It is very likely that the ghost used one of the corpses to disguise himself and escape. It’s safer to do this kind of thing alone, you can find a bicycle.”
"Okay...then how do you find a car?" Kotomaru asked.
Mingyue smiled slightly: "I have a car, it's in the underground garage downstairs of my house."
Grassland also touched his pocket: "I have one too, and I still have the car keys."
Grassland and Mingyue live in the same community, very close to each other.
They parked in the same garage, and the car key had a small iron plate engraved with the parking location and license plate number; Kotomaru originally wanted to hitchhike with someone, but was rejected. At this time, she was standing Beside the street, I looked blankly at a row of shared bicycles on the side of the road.
She agreed with the other two to go west because the road there seemed smoother.
Mingyue and Grassland have arrived at the underground garage. The garage is a bit gloomy. If they didn't want to escape by car, they would never come to such a gloomy place.
Caiyuan curled up and looked for his car against the iron plate on the key. He immediately saw the familiar license plate number.
At this moment, he heard rapid footsteps suddenly coming from behind him. They did not belong to himself and Mingyue, but to the footsteps of a third person!
But the sound was getting farther and farther away.
He looked back quickly.
He saw Mingyue standing behind him, looking in one direction. Grassland immediately followed him, but the densely packed cars blocked his view.
"What's going on?" He was a little frightened. "The sound I just heard came directly from behind us."
Mingyue withdrew her gaze: "Just now, there was a man squatting in the car gap next to him. When he saw us, he immediately stood up and ran away."
Without any time to think about it, Caiyuan quickly walked a few steps and got into his car: "This place is quite weird. I don't dare to stay for a long time. You can keep looking. I'll leave first."
With the sound of the car starting, Mingyue suddenly said: "Which way are you going, I'll change the direction."
Grassland quickly replied: "If Xiaotuwan goes west, then I will go east. You don't go east."
"Okay." Mingyue nodded slowly, watching the car in front of her getting further and further away.
Immediately she got into a car, started the car and slowly drove out of the underground garage.
At early five o'clock in the evening, the sun began to set slowly, and the three people flew away in different directions.
