"Facts have proven that when two players meet, a ghost will not necessarily pop out, unless the two players who meet meet a condition."
Bai Qiong pinched the thing in his hand: "Coco and I have been together since the beginning of the dungeon, but we haven't met a ghost. Is it because we don't meet the conditions for ghosts to appear?"
Gu Mian nodded: "I found that the two groups of players in the front met from different camps, and then the ghosts would appear soon... I guess that only when two players from different camps met and conflicted, then the ghosts would appear."
Bai Qiong and Coco both belong to the hunter camp. Even if they get together, they can't play the game of eagle catching chicks.
If there is no conflict, the ghost will naturally not appear.
Coco looked a little confused: "What does it mean for a ghost to do this?"
Gu Mian shook his head: "I don't know, but I speculated before that the ghosts in this dungeon have factions just like the players..."
Bai Qiong was a little surprised when he heard this.
He frowned and said, "Do the ghosts in this copy also have a camp?"
Gu Mian nodded: "Yes, the ghost in the dungeon belongs to the camp of survivors, and it will be controlled by the hunter; if the hunter and the survivor escape separately, the ghost will not even look at the hunter, so we will not have it for the time being.
What kind of danger can even play a key role at an extraordinary time?"
Coco was shocked and thought for a while: "This means that ghosts are also afraid of being caught by us hunters."
"Although various clues indicate that ghosts are controlled by hunters, we should not act rashly," Gu Mian said, "because I still haven't figured out why ghosts appear in a hurry whenever hunters and survivors meet..."
Could it be that the ghost is helping the players who are also escapees?
Not too possible.
At this time, Bai Qiong suddenly said: "By the way, I searched this street carefully and found a mobile phone that can dial phone numbers. Although I don't know what this thing has to do with the hide-and-seek game, but you guys should take a look.
.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and Gu Mian saw the mobile phone in his hand.
"I just used this mobile phone to dial the only number we found in the business hall. The other party connected, but there was no sound... It's not that there is no sound. Anyway, you will know after listening..."
As Bai Qiong spoke, he pressed the screen of his phone, seemingly inputting a series of phone numbers, and then turned on the speakerphone.
After a brief "beep" sound, Gu Mian heard a sound similar to that of a cell phone being picked up, but there was no words spoken on the other side.
Only the whistling sound of the wind passed by.
Gu Mian listened to the sound for a while before Bai Qiong whispered, "Wait a minute, there will be other sounds later."
After hearing this, Gu Mian listened carefully again.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, a subtle sound of water flow suddenly came, like a gurgling stream.
But the sound of running water didn't last long before it disappeared, and then the faint sound of wind occupied the microphone again.
Gu Mian glanced at the time on her phone and signaled Bai Qiong not to hang up.
The time now is nine forty-one.
Gu Mian listened for a while after the sound of water passed, and found that around nine forty-eight, the sound of water appeared again, with an interval of seven minutes.
Bai Qiong said, "When I just made the call, I subconsciously calculated the time between the sound of water and it was almost seven minutes."
Coco said: "Do you want us to find the place where the other party connects the phone? There will be the sound of water every seven minutes... Is it near the timer faucet?"
There was a hint of guilt on her face when she said this, and she probably thought that "timed faucets" were something she had never heard of or seen before.
Bai Qiong shook his head: "The sound does not sound like the sound of a faucet, but more like the sound of a river."
That's really weird. How can a river make sounds for a while and then not make a sound? And the intervals are very regular, always seven minutes.
For a moment, both of them were confused. Where did the other party get the call?
Gu Mian also touched his chin and considered the clues in this copy, which was very strange.
On the surface, this dungeon appears to be a battle between players from two camps, but it is inexplicably mixed with ghosts, and they are ghosts from the survivors camp.
There are strange clues everywhere in the dungeon, and these clues seem to be guiding players to find something.
Gu Mian thought while looking at Bai Qiong who was deep in thought: "You'd better be careful. Players are not absolutely safe in the dungeon. It is impossible for a player to be invincible from the beginning."
Bai Qiong came back to her senses and nodded.
The current situation is indeed too weird.
If it is true, as Gu Mian guessed, that ghosts belong to the camp of survivors, and if survivors want to avoid hunters, then there will be no danger to the hunter players in this dungeon.
It is absolutely impossible for a copy to do this.
Why?
Why on earth would you put a ghost belonging to a survivor in the dungeon?
Why do ghosts always appear in time when hunters are chasing survivors?
What do the clues found in the copy mean?
Gu Mian hasn't figured this out yet.
While he was thinking about it, he looked at Coco beside him, and saw that this female high school student seemed to be thinking about something. As for what exactly she was thinking about - it wasn't a math problem anyway.
Gu Mian looked away: "And there is one more thing you should pay attention to. I don't know how many ghosts there are in this copy, but I just got a clue - it is nine fifteen."
"Not long ago, a player named Ji Bielie witnessed a ghost chasing a survivor upstairs in the hotel, until one person and one ghost completely disappeared from her sight. It was nine fifteen when the ghost's figure disappeared.
Not long ago”
"And at around 9:15, I saw a shadow standing on the roof of the teaching building. There was no doubt that it was a ghost."
No player will be free to run up to the roof of the teaching building of the horror dungeon to take in a panoramic view of the mountains and small areas.
The ghost that appeared later also showed that the shadow standing there before was indeed a ghost.
"If there are multiple ghosts in this dungeon, that's fine, but... if there aren't many ghosts in this dungeon, but only one..."
When she said this, Gu Mian stopped.
He looked at the two people in front of him.
Bai Qiong and Keke obviously understood what Gu Mian meant.
Bai Qiong frowned: "From the restaurant to the roof of the school, the distance must be at least a few hundred meters, right?"
Gu Mian shook his head: "I have carefully observed the area around the school. There are no restaurants nearby, at least not within sight."
Bai Qiong's frown deepened: "If there is only one ghost in the dungeon, and you saw the ghost almost at the same time as Ji Bielie watched the ghost disappear, does this mean that... the ghost can teleport?"
Bai Qiong herself took a deep breath when she said this.
Coco next to her was obviously also frightened. She gritted her teeth and hesitantly said: "Teleport?"
This is scarier than having multiple ghosts in the dungeon.
A teleporting ghost, it can go anywhere at any time.
Whether you are hiding in a cupboard or under the bed, you may look up at any time and encounter a terrifying face.
Then this will be the scariest copy she has ever seen!
Gu Mian said: "Of course, the fact that there is only one ghost in the dungeon is speculation. Although there is some coincidence in the timing... But to put it bluntly, if the ghost can really teleport, at least it has not used it until now.
What bad things has this skill done?"
To say that suddenly popping out of nowhere to scare the players is called doing bad things, then Gu Mian should be a big devil full of evil by now.
Gu Mian took back her cell phone: "I guess there are hunters and survivors meeting each other now. I have to go over quickly to investigate the situation..."
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the office building and saw that the flashlight light from before was gone. Manzhu Shahua, who was chasing the escapees, had turned off his own flashlight.
Bai Qiong nodded: "Then let's first find the place where the other party connected the phone. There will be the sound of water flowing every seven minutes. This condition is very special, and it is not too troublesome to find it."
When he said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "And doctor, you said that the ghost in this copy is controlled by the hunter, but if it can really teleport, it will be difficult for us to catch it.
I guess these clues given to us by the dungeon are to help players catch this ghost."
Only by finding the location where the clues point can more important clues be found there.
Gu Mian didn't stay here longer. She just said "be careful" and left, heading towards the office building.
In the dark office building, Ji Biejie was hiding under a desk. This was an office not far from the stairs on the twenty-third floor. It was so messy that she almost overturned several chairs when she came in. Fortunately, the brightness was low.
The screen of her mobile phone can illuminate, but she dare not use a flashlight.
Ji Bieji didn't dare to continue running up, fearing that she would be caught by hunters coming from behind on the stairs, so she had to find a floor to hide.
There is really no place to hide in the office building. Fortunately, there are many floors in this building, and the hunters chasing her below have no idea which floor she is hiding on.
She was secretly relieved as she thought about it. Fortunately, she knew in advance that there was a hunter following her, otherwise she would have lost a lot of things if she was eliminated.
After Ji Bieli breathed a sigh of relief, she paid attention to the sounds on the stairs. As long as the hunters did not search this floor after a while, she would immediately run out and leave the building.
I originally chose this place for the convenience of observing the situation, but a lookout with ghosts is not a good place.
It seemed like a long time passed, but it didn't seem like that long.
There were footsteps coming from the other side of the stairs.
Ji Bieli held her breath.
Someone is coming up!
In the darkness, the sound of people going up the stairs kept ringing, getting closer and closer, and her heartbeat also kept pounding. The heavy heartbeat kept lingering in her ears, as if her heart was about to burst out of her eardrums.
It didn't take long.
The footsteps stopped.
Stopped at the top of the stairs.
Ji Bieji secretly prayed to God in her heart, but God didn't seem to agree with her.
Some heavy steps were taken again, and the footsteps were moving forward in the corridor!
Someone started searching the house on this floor!
Ji Bieli's heart was beating wildly, and she secretly regretted why she chose a room so close to the stairs here!
If I had known that the person would stop searching on this floor, I should have stayed away from the stairs and rushed to the stairs in the opposite direction to escape while the person was searching in other rooms.
But there is no use regretting now.
Even the all-purpose game supermarket does not sell such things as regret pills.
Ji Bieliang could only secretly pray that this hunter would not discover her.
This office is extremely messy. If you hide it well, you may not be discovered.
She held her heart while suppressing her heavy breathing. Within a few minutes, the footsteps stopped at the door of the office.
Ji Bieli held her breath, the night was very quiet.
It's so dark and quiet here that one can't help but suspect that he has become a blind man and a cage.
Therefore, the strange sound of pushing the door seemed very strange.
"Squeak——"
The sound of the door being opened made people's ears hurt, but Ji Bielie couldn't care about it at all.
She shrank her head, holding her breath and paying attention to every move of the people outside.
The sound of footsteps was infinitely amplified in the dark and quiet environment.
He just heard these footsteps and walked forward a few steps without any hesitation, then pulled out a chair, as if checking whether there was anyone squatting behind the chair.
of course not.
Immediately afterwards, footsteps continued to sound, and there were constant sounds of chairs or tables being pulled away.
Ji Bieli opened her eyes wide and listened to the sound of tables or chairs being pulled away outside.
It was still pitch black before her, with no light at all.
wrong!
No light!
Without light, how can people outside move around unimpeded in such a messy room?
Thinking of this, her body couldn't help but tremble violently.
No... the people outside may not be hunters at all, but ghosts...
The footsteps continued to sound.
Not a single bump.
The sound of mechanical dragging filled Ji Bielie's ears, and the terrifying sound made her brain tremble.
No, I have to run!
At this time, footsteps could be heard in front of the desk where she was hiding.
Even in the dark, Ji Bielie could imagine a pair of bloody feet standing in front of her. Looking up, she saw a face slowly approaching the bottom of the table as she bent down.
If you don't run, you'll die!
She suddenly bumped into the chair behind her hard. The mountains of chairs behind her were very heavy, but Ji Bieli used great strength out of thin air, smashed the chairs behind the desk, and then got out suddenly.
Run!
Regardless of the pain on her body, she didn't dare to stop after getting out. She quickly turned on the flashlight to identify the direction, stood up and rushed towards the door.
Run! Run!
The footsteps behind him sounded again, but this time they became a little more urgent.
Ji Bieli ran frantically, wishing she could jump directly from the twenty-third floor window to escape the pursuit of the ghost, but she knew that she would definitely die if she jumped from here.
She climbed the stairs with all her strength and then quickly went downstairs.
She didn't know how long she ran. When she really didn't have the strength to stop, the sound behind her had disappeared.
Ji Bieji didn't dare to stop where she was. She glanced around and quickly hid behind a door before she dared to stop and take a breath.
