Chapter Two Hundred and Seventeen

After realizing this, Wen Jianyan's back felt cold, and his hairs stood on end.

He turned his head sharply and looked at the teammates behind him.

Qi Qian, An Xin, Su Cheng...and himself.

The light in the oil lamp shone dimly, barely illuminating the whole room. Wen Jianyan used the light to look around, but there was no fifth person.

That is...

Wen Jianyan had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He turned his head slowly and looked at the dressing table in front of him again.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that this time, the bronze mirror seemed to become clearer, not as blurry as before.

Wen Jianyan carefully looked into the mirror.

Behind the figures of the four of them, there are vague and blurred shadows.

Suddenly, under Wen Jianyan's gaze, the shadow stepped forward without warning, getting closer to them.

In the past dungeons, Wen Jianyan has dealt with the mirror more times than ordinary anchors. No, when encountering such a horrible incident, he instantly realized what happened, and immediately raised his voice to remind:

"The corpse in this room is in the mirror!"

With this shout, everyone was startled and subconsciously turned their heads to look at the bronze mirror.

The originally blurred mirror surface became clearer at this moment.

Under the dim light, several people could clearly see that there was an extra fifth person behind the four of them.

The pitch-black shadow was slowly walking forward step by step with stiff steps, and it was about to approach An Xin, who was at the back of the line.

"Fuck!!" An Xin stared at the creepy picture in the mirror, jumped up, and turned his head to look behind him.

There is nothing behind him, and there is nothing.

However, the figure in the mirror is still walking forward step by step.

An Xin's hair stood on end, and he hurriedly moved away from that party: "What the hell!"

In just a few seconds, the figure had already entered the area covered by the oil lamp.

At this time, several people saw clearly that the shadow was actually a woman with her back turned to them.

Wearing a long scarlet dress, long black hair hanging down her waist, and two blue and white hands hanging on her sides, they seem to have rotted, showing the unique "color" of a corpse, only the Kodan painted on her five fingers is still bright and dazzling.

Wen Jianyan was startled.

This... is the hand that put the key on the shelf!

In the mirror, the female corpse with its back to them didn't chase after An Xin, but took stiff steps and continued to retreat.

In an instant, many clues were connected into a thread in my mind.

Probing from the shadows out of thin air, there are no hands in reality, keys on the shelves, locks on the doors that can be opened by keys, scarlet dressing tables and copper mirrors, only the figures in the mirrors, with their backs to them, no Attacking the anchor is just a female corpse walking backwards...

Wen Jianyan was suffocating:

"It is ready to invade the real world from the mirror!"

It was the hand of this female corpse that put the key down on the shelf. Wen Jianyan could not be mistaken for the distinctive red Koudan, and the reason why it gave them the key was to let them open the store after opening the store. The side door releases oneself from the shadow of the non-existent real world.

Qi Qian was stunned, and immediately understood what Wen Jianyan meant.

So that's why, the corpse in the mirror didn't attack them just now, but just stepped back stiffly.

Presumably, when it retreats from the mirror, it can follow the mirror and enter reality.

An Xin turned to look at Qi Qian, asking for advice:

"Captain, what should we do now?"

According to Lou's experience, the extra banknote was tightly held in the hands of the corpse, that is, if you want to get this extra coin, you must release the corpse from the mirror, otherwise there is a way get what they want.

but

This corpse is obviously more vicious and vicious than Lou's, otherwise it wouldn't be locked in the mirror by unnecessary actions.

Qi Qian turned his head, glanced at the few people in front of him, and gritted his teeth:

"withdraw."

When Qi Qian came in this time, he planned to be the best, and if he didn't make it, he would withdraw. Their current team already has people, and their strength has been greatly reduced. If they fight head-on in this situation, the consequences will be disastrous .

Several people were startled, looked at each other, then nodded: "Okay."

Qi Qian cautiously covered the oil lamp in his hand, and walked out of the warehouse as fast as he could.

Soon, several people quickly withdrew from the door.

[Integrity First] In the live broadcast room:

"Ah? Isn't it? Is this cowardly?"

"Do you even have the courage to face him head-on? This captain is a bit timid, it's a disappointment."

Wen Jianyan turned his head and glanced at the warehouse behind him.

When Qi Qian announced his evacuation, although he spoke throughout the whole process, he actually agreed with Qi Qian's decision to evacuate in his heart.

The red nails, the red dresser, and the red key, there seems to be a faint, invisible connection between these things, all of these add up to make Wen Jianyan very uncomfortable. Wonderful feeling.

It seems... everything is calculated in the game.

What's worse is that just now, he saw the hands of the female corpse moving in the shadow area that the oil lamp could not illuminate. In other words, if the female corpse was really released from the mirror, they might not be able to look like they were in the building. By cutting off the light source to stop its action.

It was almost like opening Pandora's box and releasing something amazing.

In the dark, empty room, painted with scarlet paint, the mottled dressing table is located in the center of the darkness. On the bronze mirror above, one can faintly see the motionless back of the female corpse. The forest is cold and weird, giving people a lingering ominous feeling.

"Squeak"

The rusty hinges turned.

The door of the room was closed, shutting the last gleam of light from the oil lamp behind it, and closed it firmly.

At the same time, in shop No. 06.

There was a strong smell of rotting corpses floating in the air. The shelves of the store were covered with a thick, viscous yellow substance, sealing all the products below. On the glass door, two heavy iron chains locked the door. Sealed tightly, the iron chain is densely pasted with yellow hair talisman paper, and twisted symbols are drawn with red cinnabar on it.

Outside the door, on the ground near the shop, lay a dead body quietly.

The corpse is rotting, the skin is pale and lifeless. Judging by the clothes on his body, he is a member of the Orange Candy Squad.

"Crack, click..."

The sound of bones rubbing against each other sounded.

The corpse got up from the top with a stiff movement, then staggered towards the darkness far away from the shop, disappeared in the blink of an eye, and disappeared into the darkness.

The shop was dead silent, only the oil lamp welded to the table was still burning, giving off a dim light.

It seems that a fierce fight just happened here, many shelves have been overturned, the surface is very messy, rotten blood is smeared, and there are footprints of all sizes.

Obviously, on this floor, the orange candy team can cope with it as easily as the upper floor.

Not only lost a team member, but the rest of the team was more or less consumed.

Tangerine Candy was sitting on the counter, her two slender legs were shaking slightly, and she turned over and over to look at the Ming coin in her palm.

The strange thing is that this ghost coin is not the same as the one on the upper floor. The paper of this ghost coin is slightly red, and it seems that you can faintly smell the smell of rancid blood. Under the word "bank" is a pale and smiling The human face, no matter which angle it moves, has a feeling of being stared at, with a ghostly aura that makes people's backs shudder.

"Hey, Mu Sen, we might as well just do it."

Tangerine Candy stuffed the coins back into his pocket, looked up at Mu Sen who was beside him, tilted his head with a smile, and proposed as if joking.

"Isn't it good to kill those guys before leaving the second floor?"

However, the team members who are familiar with her know that her captain never jokes about this.

And... Tangerine Candy's proposal may seem reckless, but it's not entirely reasonable.

One can imagine that in the dungeon of [Changsheng Building], the difficulty gap between the first floor and the second floor would be so large that even the most experienced orange candy team in the team could not bear it.

You should know that in the dungeon of Nightmare, the difficulty will gradually increase as time goes by.

The second floor is already at this level of difficulty, the third floor, the fourth floor... so how afraid will it be?

According to this trend, the higher they climb, the more difficult it will be for them to protect themselves.

When it is hard to recover, it is better to take advantage of the ability to take care of both, and start in advance, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

Although the dark fire team has just revealed some surprising strength, but according to their intelligence, this team has participated in any team book before, and there is only one attack anchor in the team. If they fight hard, they still have the upper hand.

Compared with competing with high-level copies, it is easier to fight against other anchors.

Beside him, a pale man with a thin and long face sat on it, his skin covered by his clothes was covered with bandages.

He closed his eyes, and instead of answering Orange Candy's question, he just folded his palms together and shook them up and down.

"Wow."

He let go of his hand, several pale wooden signs were thrown away, and scattered away.

There were ten wooden plaques in total, with red faces and black faces, with weird symbols engraved on them. At this moment, the wooden plaques on the faces were mixed red and black, six red and four black.

Mu Sen leaned down and looked carefully at the scattered wooden signs, his thin back arched into a deformed hunchback.

"How? Have you decided?" The little girl's careless voice sounded from above her head.

Mu Sen just put the wooden sign on his face into his palm again, closed his eyes and shook it.

"Wow."

The wooden signs were scattered again.

But this time, eight of the ten wooden signs were all turned to the black side and scattered on the top.

The distribution of the wooden cards is scattered, but there seems to be some strange rules hidden in it. The dark cards echo each other, bringing a particularly weird and strange feeling.

After carefully reading the cards this time, Mu Sen raised his head and looked at Tangerine Candy with those gray eyes: "Captain, don't worry."

Tangerine Candy tilted her head.

"Even if we don't need to do anything," Mu Sen said, "They will definitely die this time."

"Oh? What?"

Tangerine Candy seemed to be interested in Musen's poker game for the first time.

She jumped off the counter, put her face close to Mu Sen, and smiled, "How do you see it?"

"The cards are sunspots, luck is at the end of the road. The game is a dead end, and the door of life is blocked and the door is wide open."

Mu Sen stretched out his skinny and pale hand, and slowly picked up the wooden sign on his face, put it into his waist pocket, and kept

His eyes fell on the last card, and his eyes paused slightly.

Tangerine Candy keenly noticed Mu Sen's strangeness, she followed his gaze, and her gaze also fell on the last card.

The small wooden sign was actually standing on its side, neither red nor black.

Tangerine Candy picked up the wooden sign and looked at it curiously: "What does this represent?"

"It doesn't matter." Mu Sen shook his head, took the wooden card from Orange Tang's hand, and stuffed it into the small bag on his waist. However, the two appeared at the same time, and the decline of the face-to-face is set, even if there is a change, it cannot be reversed."

Mu Sen lowered his head and fastened the small bag around his waist.

Even if the only card that symbolizes the variable happens to be on the eye of the card, it doesn't matter, two threatening cards appear at the same time, absolutely no one can survive from it.

After leaving the small room at the back of the shop, Qi Qian and the others returned to the counter.

After a short rest, Tong Yao's complexion obviously recovered, and even Zhang Yu seemed so depressed.

"How about it?"

Tong Yao closed her eyes and turned her head in the direction of the voice: "Have you gained anything?"

"Unfortunately, there are many." Qi Qian briefly recounted what he saw in the secret room just now, and finally made his own decision:

"In short, I finally decided not to confront it head-on, and evacuate first."

Qi Qian looked at Zhang Yu and apologized, "Sorry."

As each floor rises, it means more difficulties. In the secret room on the lower floor, it may be more difficult to obtain extra income, and Zhang Yu's condition is indeed deteriorating.

That is...

His decision was actually to save more teammates, and he chose to sacrifice the last hope of saving Zhang Yu.

"No." Zhang Yu shook his head, coughed twice, and said calmly, "Captain, what you did was wrong."

You must know that their "turnover" on the second floor has not yet been completed, that is, they should receive another customer in the future. If at this juncture, the female corpse locked in the mirror is released, people will know that there will be more customers. what happen.

As the captain, Qi Qian shouldn't have risked his entire team being wiped out by making emotional and reckless decisions.

In team battles, naturally, the team is always more important.

Soon, the rest of the team finished. Wen Jianyan and the others briefly shared the way they broke the game just now, and the team made a summary based on this.

"That is to say, after a customer enters the store and takes away the product, the store will automatically add a similar product in the same position, and this product will spread the curse to the outside, and all other ordinary products are just media, and the only way to find the curse source, the danger will disappear.

Qi Qian pondered for a while.

Wen Wen, a woman in a white skirt, nodded quietly: "It should be like this."

"Then...that hidden radio I found before is actually useful?" Tong Yao asked with a serious face.

"Not really." Wen Jian said, "Those should be the first batch of media to spread curses, and they are the most dangerous after customers leave the store. It is beneficial for us to determine their locations in advance."

If it weren't for them, Wen Jianyan wouldn't have come to the useful conclusion of "clearing shelves".

Moreover, this also means that the spread of the curse is layered.

In the beginning, there were only a few core problem commodities. As the curse gradually strengthened, other common commodities would also be affected.

It's good for them.

In other words, after the customers have just left the store, before the curse spreads to all the products, this period of time is relatively safe for them.

As long as they can find the source of the curse as quickly as possible during this period, the chance of encountering danger will be greatly reduced.

"One more thing," Wen Jian said, "in the last round, the radio that was the source of the curse was actually a hidden tool."

Several people were stunned, as if they realized something at the same time, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"You mean..." Qi Qian leaned slightly, and asked urgently, "If we use the tool of the guiding hand directly after the customer leaves, can we directly find the source product?"

"Yes." Wen Jianyan nodded.

Everyone's expressions cheered up.

In the first wave of attacks just now, although they responded hastily and nearly overturned, the experience summarized in the last round is really important, and they have irreplaceable meaning for their next actions.

Not only did they know the operation method of the dungeon, but they could also calculate the simplest solution based on it, which could be regarded as a shortcut.

In this way, their success rate has once again increased.

After formulating a plan, the team started to move again.

The shading device on the door was removed, and through the blurred glass, we could see the faint light from the oil lamp, like a lighthouse in the sea at night, silently sending out signals.

Clear, conspicuous, guide the next customer to come.

Several members of the dark fire team stood side by side behind the counter, staring at the half-hidden glass door, as if they were ready for battle.

In the dead silence, time passed by.

straight

"Da da da."

Familiar footsteps came from the darkness.

coming.

Several people were shocked and held their breath slightly.

"Ring bell." The crisp copper bell rang in the huge shop, the glass door was pushed open from the outside, and the cold and smelly wind poured directly into the shop.

The wick of the oil lamp twitched, and the area that could be illuminated gradually shrank.

any difference from the previous two.

A few people stood behind the counter, listening intently to the footsteps of the guests walking into the depths, and calculating the distance in the dark in their hearts.

Soon, the footsteps stopped.

It seems... Like it stopped in the middle of the right side?

A few people said nothing and continued to wait.

After a short stay, footsteps sounded again, this time walking towards the counter.

In the thick, invisible darkness, only the pale and bluish dead man's palm slowly reached out, and placed Zhang Mingbi on the counter.

"Da da"

Footsteps sounded again, and they walked straight out of the shop.

"Ringling."

The copper bell rang again.

As the footsteps moved away, the glass door closed, and the area illuminated by the oil lamp became spacious again, and the dim light quickly filled the shop, illuminating the hidden danger.

Wen Jianyan habitually glanced at the counter.

He was slightly taken aback.

This time's Mingbi...doesn't seem the same as the previous two times?

The paper is scarlet, and under the word "bank", there is no longer the previous portrait of Hades, but a pale and smiling face, as if staring straight at them from inside the banknotes.

However, now is not the time to focus on this.

Wen Jianyan quickly looked away.

Before the first wave of the curse appears, they will have an extremely short safety time. If they can find the key source goods during this time, they will be safe immediately, and they can even directly leave the second floor and enter the third floor.

Use the lowest price to obtain the greatest benefit, and make a steady profit without losing money.

Of course, the premise is that they do.

"Action." Qi Qian gave the order, and except for Tong Yao and Zhang Yu who couldn't move, several people immediately left the counter as quickly as possible.

According to the plan, Qi Qian quickly activated the [guiding hand].

Use this tool to randomly know the location of a hidden tool. If the source of the curse this round is also a difficult hidden tool, then using this tool, they can find out its location in the fastest way. Nip the danger in its cradle in advance.

Soon, an arrow jumped out from mid-air, bouncing up and down, pointing in a certain direction.

Qi Qian: "Over there!"

He followed the arrow of the guiding hand and ran towards the back of the store.

The rest of them followed immediately.

After all, there may only be one concealment tool in the store, so in order to prevent several guiding hands from being activated but pointing to the same tool, which would cause the [Guiding hand] to be wasted, the team decided to separate the batches Activator.

The four of them kept walking and walked backward along the road.

However, the arrow did not stop in the middle, but instead pointed to the depths of the store.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Qi Qian subconsciously paused, frowning tightly.

Oh no.

According to their original plan, even if the first guiding hand points in the wrong direction, it doesn't matter. After obtaining the tool at the fastest speed, they will immediately activate the next guiding hand.

but

Who would have imagined that the first concealment tool is actually in that secret room that hides endless dangers.

This also means that if you want to get it, you must enter the secret room again.

Obviously, they are far from having that condition now.

In other words, they can only take the risk of wasting and activate the second [Guiding Hand] on the premise of obtaining the first concealment tool.

But the way, they have other options.

And their luck can't really be that bad, it's better to gamble and try.

Qi Qian gritted his teeth, "An Xin, activate it."

An Xin nodded: "Okay."

He activated the tool.

The second red arrow appeared.

Pointing to the iron gate again.

Everyone: "..."

Really so bad luck? !

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"Another part of being abandoned by Lady Luck!"

"Hey, this really overlaps with the content of that prophet over there, and luck is indeed at an end."

At this moment, the sound of "Zi" suddenly came, which was very clear in the dead shop.

Everyone is heart sinking.

Oops.

Here comes the first wave of curses.

"Crack!"

The screen of one of the TVs turned on without anyone touching it.

"rustle"

The sound of the electric current reverberated, black and white bars rolled across the screen like interference, and the blurred picture gradually appeared.

In the endless darkness, a woman in a red dress sat.

With her back to the screen, she sat in front of the scarlet dressing table, as if she was looking in a mirror.

Everyone was startled, their pupils constricted suddenly.

Isn't this just the back view of the female corpse locked in the mirror that I saw in the secret room just now!

Under the horrified gazes of several people, the female corpse with her back to them slowly raised her pale hand, and Koudan, whose nails were painted scarlet, was combing her long black hair.

"rustle-"

Amidst the ear-piercing interference, it seemed that the subtle sound of the comb teeth passing through the long hair could be faintly heard.

"Crack!"

Another sound.

The other TV also started automatically.

The screen is exactly the same picture.

In front of the scarlet dressing table, the woman turned her back to the screen, pinching the red comb with her fingers painted with scarlet Kodan, combing her hair up and down, her movements were stiff and slow, and she looked weird and eerie everywhere.

"Crack!"

Then came the third, fourth...

The old TV station was turned on, and the back of the exact same woman was sitting inside.

Suddenly, she stopped moving.

The woman with her back to several people stood up slowly, turned around, but backed up, step, step, and walked towards the direction of the screen.

It looks like the situation in the secret room just now.
