Chapter 138 Opening the Jar
Chapter 138 Opening the Jar
In the dim environment, there are a lot of sounds.
Wen Xishu looked around and found that Yue Yun and the others were all there. This made him feel relieved.
"This is where?"
"Help! I want to get back to the bunker! I want to get back to the bunker!"
"Dad, Mom, where are you! It's so cold here!"
"Have we... come to hell?"
The voices of countless people at the bottom of the bunker rose one after another.
Most of them were crying, breathing restlessly, shouting anxiously, old people coughing, children crying.
The dense voices intertwined into a web.
Wen Xishu realized that many people would probably die this time.
He began to look around. It seemed to be a cellar... a very large cellar with many bottles and jars hidden in it.
Without sunlight, Wen Xishu thought that according to the description, he would be teleported to a castle.
A mysterious woman, shoes with strange powers...these seem like dark stories from the Middle Ages.
But he didn't expect that he had come to a place without sunlight. The lighting of the entire cellar was entirely dependent on candlelight.
Wen Xishu discovered that these candle flames seemed to be durable and could burn forever. He stared at a candle for a while and discovered the barrage.
[Light of Darkness: They are the only source of light. After the end of the world, they are also cared for. There is no day when they will run out. But don't get too close, or they will burn. If you are contaminated by the flames here, you will not be burned to death, but you will keep burning, and keep burning...]
Only Wen Xishu could see this description, which really surprised him.
He had seen flames that could burn everything to ashes, but this was the first time he had seen a flame that could not burn anything but could keep you burning.
In a sense, this thing can be considered a torture device.
At this moment, someone was walking back and forth in the dim cellar with a candle.
Wen Xishu suddenly thought of such a horrifying scene...
The candle flame that was always burning accidentally burned someone... This person would not be burned to death, but would always feel the pain of being burned. So he ran around and rolled around, trying to put out the flames, but to no avail...
More and more people were encountered by him, and the entire cellar became a sea of fire filled with living people.
Thinking of this, even someone as brave as Wen Xishu felt a little scared.
Fortunately, he found that the flames were not that aggressive, and the people holding the candles were also quite cautious.
Wen Xishu did not stop it immediately, fearing that it would cause unnecessary panic, thus leading to tragedy.
He continued to observe his surroundings.
Not long ago, Wen Xishu and his partners Yue Yun, A Miao and others entered the vortex.
Then he fell into a brief coma.
But before this process, Wen Xishu actually went through an extra step.
That is the new cheat function of the Scorpio Knife and the rolling of the Insane Dice.
The ability that Scorpio's cheating knife provides to Wen Xishu this time is called the "camp system".
Simply put, Wen Xishu was able to see people who did not belong to his own camp this time.
Their names are red.
This is a very common game system. After all, many game developers know that the poverty of game content can be created by triggering conflicts between players.
Even if a game only has one map, as long as you can use guns to shoot players from other camps in this map, you will not easily feel bored.
However, Wen Xishu was not sure whether this faction system would work in this mission, or whether it would be the same as the last time he loaded the game and not be used by him.
All in all, this doesn't seem to be a particularly divine ability.
And this time, there are very few options given in the crazy dice.
The result of the dice roll of Wen Xishu's Dangqiao is - 4, 3, 3.
This point is very average. There are only two options for Wen Xishu to choose from.
[Quality Upgrade: (Triggered when two prime numbers are included in the three dice. Effect: When calculating the completion reward, if there are items, sequences, and facilities, one of them will trigger a quality upgrade and improve the quality level.)]
[Twist and Turn: (Triggered when the points on the three dice include four and three, and there are no other points, that is, 433 and 443. Effect: You can turn four wrong behaviors into correct behaviors, and you can also turn three negative effects that appear on you into positive effects.)]
In line with the principle of choosing the new over the old, Wen Xishu chose the latter.
Perhaps in the midst of chaos, one can find a way to survive.
Moreover, the result of the upside-down throw is obviously much higher than the survival rate of the quality increase.
But Wen Xishu had to admit that this time...
The help he got from the Crazy Dice was far inferior to that of the "Three Phases". There were also very few options, almost nothing to choose from.
This also made him more cautious.
At this time, Yue Yun came to Wen Xishu's side:
"Wen Xishu, Nissen and I just took a look around. This place is very big, so big that it's almost like a gymnasium with a stadium."
"This place is also divided into many rooms, including a library, a dining room, a prayer room, and many bedrooms and bathrooms."
"But it's strange, here almost... No, not almost, but everywhere, every room, there are countless jars."
"These jars are sealed. We checked and found that there were stoppers at the mouths of the bottles, which were sealed. We didn't dare to open them because we always felt that there was something strange inside."
"Besides, there are too many people. There are about 200 people here. Almost all of them are from the bunker. They are old people, children, patients, pregnant women, disabled people, and all kinds of vulnerable groups."
Obviously, Yue Yun also knew that having so many people was not a good thing.
Not everyone of these people survived.
Wen Xishu didn't expect that Yue Yun and Nissen would be so proactive. He was very satisfied and said:
"We still have to continue to observe this cellar. At present, we don't know the rules of the game this time."
"Game rules?" Xiao Jin was puzzled.
Wen Xishu winked at Zheng Zai, who said:
"In fact, there are no powerful enemies in the Trickster Tower... The main thing is to find a way to leave here. You can think of it as a game."
"We must first find the conditions for game failure and game victory."
Xiao Jin seemed to understand something.
Wen Xishu took a look and found that the cellar was indeed huge and had many compartments. Hundreds of people were in the cellar and it was not crowded at all.
Many people slumped on the ground, at a loss for what to do. They hoped that this was a nightmare, that after a while, they would sleep and wake up... and find themselves back in the bunker.
They hope someone can take them away.
Wen Xishu also knew that someone needed to comfort them at this time.
He doesn't want to play such a role, but he is the only one who can play such a role:
"Everyone, don't panic."
Wen Xishu's voice was deep and powerful, and it spread quickly. However, no one paid much attention to it.
But as the next sentence came out, the surroundings immediately became quiet.
"I am Wen Xishu."
The three words "Wen Xishu" instantly gave strength to many people.
Wen Xishu said:
"I won't prove it. Here are some of my companions, some from the Bunker Security Bureau, and some teachers and students from the Three Towers Academy."
Wen Xishu knew that he couldn’t talk about the vortex itself at this time.
He has to make people feel safe.
"Listen to me, everyone. This time we are all climbing the Weird Tower together. There is nothing to be afraid of. I also climb the Weird Tower frequently. Let me first tell you the rules that I know..."
"Everyone, please return any candles you touched to their original places. I know the room is dim, but please don't mess with the candles. Thank you."
There are still a few people holding candles in their hands. Wen Xishu certainly cannot let the tragedy of "eternal burning" happen.
But if he said it directly, there might be emotionally or mentally unstable people among these people who would intentionally hurt others...so Wen Xishu did not say how scary the candlelight was.
This is why he doesn't like to team up with strangers, doesn't value team function, and only values trust and tacit understanding.
Fortunately, Wen Xishu's prestige was indeed great. Those who were walking around with candles really returned the candles to their original positions and stopped fiddling with them.
Wen Xishu said:
"This area is currently large, but compared to its spooky tower scene, it's very small."
"We are numerous. We can definitely find out what secrets this place hides."
"But this is not something that can be solved in a short time. We may need to spend a night here... or two or three nights if we are unlucky."
"And there are so many of us, so I need to choose a few managers."
"So that everyone can obey the arrangements."
Wen Xishu looked around and found that the fear on everyone's faces had indeed been greatly reduced.
People are afraid of being in the unknown. The weak are afraid of being at a loss. If there is someone leading the way, they will feel back in their comfort zone.
Wen Xishu asked:
"Has anyone among you climbed the spooky tower?"
Wen Xishu thought about it and there were two standards for arranging these people...either let A Miao, Yue Yun, Zheng Zai, Xiao Jin and others be separated to manage different groups.
But selfishly, he didn't want to do that.
Being a manager is a thankless job. If anyone fails to do a good job, he will be criticized.
So Wen Xishu decided to use the second method, which is to let strangers manage strangers. Let those who have climbed the strange tower manage those who have not climbed the strange tower.
This is certainly not a good choice. After all, those who have climbed the spooky tower so far are most likely not good people.
Sure enough, after Wen Xishu finished speaking, four people stood up. Among the four people, three were criminals and the other was a low-level gangster.
This situation will improve in the future, but it cannot be changed at present.
Wen Xishu briefly got to know these four people.
Fang Tianhen, who comes from the bottom of the bunker, is considered a bully. He finds that no matter how well he gets along at the bottom, he is just a gangster leader and can only be a pilot for the rest of his life, so he goes to the Ghost Tower to fight for his life.
The current maximum level you can go to is the 8th floor.
Ling Chen, from the third living floor of the bunker, a criminal, an economic criminal, good at math. He has a rather dull personality. Wen Xishu feels that he is quite cunning. It is said that he was imprisoned for falsifying accounts.
I have been to the sixth floor once and the fourth floor once. Currently, I can go to the maximum level, the seventh floor.
Ling Fu, from the third living floor of the bunker, is Ling Chen's brother and also a criminal. He has an extroverted personality and is good at dealing with people.
I have been to the sixth floor once and the fourth floor once. Currently, I can go to the maximum level, the seventh floor.
When Wen Xishu approached, Ling Fu took the initiative to come over and started flattering Wen Xishu as exaggeratedly as possible.
Lang Haidu, a businessman and criminal on the fifth residential floor of the bunker, told Wen Xishu that he sold some things that he shouldn’t have sold, so he went to jail, and finally redeemed himself by entering the spooky tower.
What slightly surprised Wen Xishu was that Lang Haidu had been to the Strange Tower eight times and could reach the largest level, the eleventh floor.
So Wen Xishu discussed with everyone and decided on a distribution result.
For the next two hours, everyone in the cellar was busy with one thing - standing in line.
Ling Chen and Ling Fu led 55 people as a team.
Fang Tianhen led a team of fifty people.
Lang Haidu led 60 people as a team
Wen Xishu, Yue Yun and others, with sixty people, formed a team.
There are about two hundred people in total.
Wen Xishu arranged most of the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled and the pregnant women into Ling Chen and Ling Fu's team, and most of his own team were healthy people.
In fact, at the beginning, Wen Xishu planned to arrange the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled into his team.
However, during this process, Ling Fu, one of the Ling brothers, said with a smile:
"Your team is full of elites. How can the elite take care of the old, weak, sick and disabled? Let us take care of them. The elite should do elite things."
Wen Xishu understood Ling Fu's intention.
He knew the other party's little thoughts, but he did not point them out. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and agreed to Ling Fu's arrangement.
Actually, A Miao wants to suggest... taking in the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, to establish a good image and make management easier.
But A Miao had no objection to what Wen Xishu did, so she didn't say anything.
At the same time, it is worth noting that…
In Lang Haidu's team, one person's name turned red.
The man's name was Ayovic, and he was a low-level businessman who sold handmade items.
Wen Xishu actually talked to Ayovic and found that this person was not a "fake person".
He really came from the bunker and knew a lot of information about the bunker.
At present, Ayovic has not behaved in any abnormal way. Wen Xishu is not sure why he has become a red-named character in the "hostile camp".
He decided to keep Ayovic and observe him.
If Ayovic does anything bad, he will kill Ayovic.
Of course, Wen Xishu did not put Ayovic in his team.
A Miao and Zheng Zai were in charge of managing the people in the team, while Xiao Jin, Ni Sen, Yue Yun, and Wen Xishu were searching the cellar for clues.
They soon arrived at the prayer room.
……
……
There were not only Wen Xishu and his group in the prayer room.
It was even very lively. There were more than a hundred people in the prayer room.
The noise in the prayer room made Wen Xishu realize that something was wrong.
These people also include the Ling brothers, Fang Tianhen, and Lang Haidu, the four group leaders.
Lang Haidu heard Xishu coming and said very respectfully:
"Mr. Wen Xishu, do you have any instructions?"
Lang Haidu is 40 years old, and he does have the temperament of a wealthy businessman. His eyes are bright and his smile is pleasant.
Wen Xishu said:
"Nothing, we just came to observe the other rooms. There seems to be nothing else in the hall except those bottles and jars. I really can't find any clues."
The entire cellar is divided into several bedrooms, a huge dining room, several study rooms, several bathrooms, and a huge prayer room.
Of course, the largest one is the hall - which is where countless people gathered and lined up just now.
Wen Xishu noticed that there was a huge mural in the prayer room.
The mural depicts a goddess with a beautiful face and a perfect figure, with lazy eyes and eyebrows, and wearing shoes that emit sunlight like clouds.
It is so radiant that everyone is attracted by it.
Lang Haidu said:
"I didn't expect that just a mural... would make me want to kneel down and worship..."
Wen Xishu didn't feel anything.
He looked at Yue Yun:
"do you have it?"
Yue Yun felt ashamed, but he knew that he could not hide his feelings as there might be some clues in them.
So Yue Yun said:
“The way they feel is how I feel.”
They refer to those people in the hall who have never climbed the strange tower.
At this moment, these people were kneeling in front of the mural, wanting to kiss the pair of shoes in the mural.
Wen Xishu said:
"If it weren't for the +2 magic resistance... this mural would probably smell like the saliva of these people now."
Lang Haidu suddenly realized:
"So... it's because of the magic resistance?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Two points of magic resistance isn't much, but it's enough to prevent everyone from losing their composure. This prayer room is pretty weird."
Although Yue Yun had never climbed the Weird Tower, it was obvious that he had a strong will, after all, he had climbed the Slaughter Tower.
Xiao Jin had no idea about matters between men and women, as if her spiritual intelligence had not yet been awakened. She just looked at the mural in a daze, with a rather naive look.
Nissen is different. Although he is also determined, his big handle is almost at attention.
Wen Xishu looked at the mural and noticed a very small detail in the corner of the mural.
There is something malicious about this detail.
It’s like, in the composition of a picture, a beautiful woman reveals her proud breasts, and then a lighter appears in the corner.
I show you the picture for five seconds, and then ask you, what brand is the lighter?
Most people will definitely ask:
"What lighter? Where did the lighter come from?"
Because his eyes were attracted by the milky white snow, he naturally didn't notice the things in the corner.
This mural has that effect.
People with low magic resistance can't take their eyes off the pair of shoes that emit the morning light and look like clouds.
They wanted to kneel on the ground and kiss the uppers of those shoes.
Even Fang Tianhen and the Ling brothers had this primitive desire at this moment.
But Wen Xishu's magic resistance is very high, reaching the standard value of this vortex...
He is unlikely to be mentally invaded by any object, so is immune to the effects of the mural.
Wen Xishu said softly:
"You can see there is actually a number on the mural, in the upper right corner."
The huge corner of the mural was completely ignored.
The composition of the mural is a goddess wearing shoes and being worshipped by everyone, and everyone is captivated by her charm or the charm of her shoes.
At the end of the crowd, there was a person holding a sign, his face facing the audience - the people who were viewing the painting.
There was a number written on the sign, 29.
No one among the more than one hundred people in the prayer hall noticed this detail.
Among the Ling brothers, Ling Chen slapped himself:
"Damn it, this is so disappointing! How could I let go of information like numbers!"
The slap was so strong that Wen Xishu was a little surprised. Was this person so cruel to him? The slap marks were all on his face.
Ling Fu smiled and said:
"Brother, don't be nervous. I don't blame you. And look, didn't Master Wen Xishu find out? With him here, you don't have to work so hard."
Wen Xishu had a feeling that the relationship between Ling Fu and Ling Chen didn't seem to be just that of brothers.
But that's not the point right now.
Fang Tianhen said:
"Boss, what does this 29 mean?"
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"I don't know yet. Maybe we have to go to the library to check."
Strangely enough, there was no danger in the cellar at the moment.
This made Wen Xishu feel incredible. Generally speaking, in the scene of the strange tower, there should be some unavoidable crisis.
But now, there were people reading in the reading room, sitting and chatting in the hall, and worshipping the goddess in front of the mural. In short, it seemed that there was no danger here except for the dimness and the strange candlelight.
Lang Haidu happened to think of this and said:
"Of course, my experience in the spooky tower is far less than yours, but based on my past experience climbing the tower, I found that this place... seems to be safe."
"That mural is indeed beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people fall in love with it...but it is not fatal."
"Is it because we haven't triggered any danger? If we stay still, will we be able to survive the seven days safely?"
"If what you said is true, this is equivalent to climbing a strange tower... we just need to hold on for seven days and not trigger it?"
Lang Haidu thought about this and started talking to himself again:
"But is it really that smooth? And...what can we eat here?"
Few people have ever gone without food or water for seven days.
Wen Xishu knew very well that the danger was not untriggered, and there was no such possibility in the strange tower.
The danger is just that they haven't discovered it.
As for food.
Yes, this is also a concern.
Hundreds of people... It's not realistic to go without food or water for seven days.
Although in Wen Xishu's previous life, the Internet always liked to cite extreme examples, such as ruthless people who didn't eat for more than ten days, or didn't drink water for so many days...
But he knew very well that going without food or water for three to five days would make a person extremely weak and extremely cruel.
So many people live here. If they can't find food, and there are old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant women...
Wen Xishu couldn't imagine what kind of Shura hell this place would turn into.
He seemed to feel a little heavy.
At this time, an unsettling sound came from outside.
boom!
There was the sound of a jar breaking.
"Hey, this is so fun, Mom, let's kick the can together!"
The child made a naughty sound.
At this time, another old man said:
"My master Wen Xishu said not to touch anything here. Tell your child to stop touching anything."
Another woman's voice came:
"Oh, what kind of noise can a child make? It's just a broken jar."
"Is there any danger here?"
The old man sighed:
"If you don't listen to my Lord, you will suffer the consequences."
"I think you are really senile. What's wrong with a child being naughty?" The woman's voice was a little sharp.
But after a while...she let out a sharper cry.
"what!"
It was a scream of insanity caused by excessive shock.
The sound spread from the hall to the prayer room, startling everyone.
The long night of disaster always begins with a scream.
This also causes everyone to feel uneasy.
Then, the woman who had screamed began to yell:
"My child! My child! Come and save my child!"
The child's voice also appeared:
“Mom…save me!”
"Ah!!!!" the woman screamed again.
"Mom, save me! Save me!"
At this moment, Wen Xishu, Yue Yun, Nissen, Xiao Jin, Fang Tianhen, Lang Haidu and others all came to the hall.
All I saw was a group of dark shadows gathering at the feet of a little boy...
The little boy seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, unable to move!
Wen Xishu stared at the quagmire and didn't see any notes or explanations.
But not far away, he saw a broken jar.
Wen Xishu vaguely thought of something.
"Shall I go and save them?" Nissen looked at Wen Xishu.
Although he likes to sing songs when things don't go his way, he is still a kind-hearted person.
But Nissen also knew that in the Ghost Tower, any action had better be reported to Wen Xishu. If Wen Xishu was not there, he would rush forward, but if Wen Xishu was there, he would have to report even if he went to the toilet.
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"Wait for the woman to come up on her own."
Wen Xishu's tone was a little cold. Obviously, Wen Xishu at this moment was a little strange to Yue Yun and Xiao Jinnissen.
Right now, the child was trapped in the shadows, with his knees already in the shadows. If he wasn't rescued, his entire body would sink into the shadows.
But the woman, the child's mother, just called for help but did not have the courage to rush forward and pull the child out.
At this time, Nissen wanted to save people, but Wen Xishu certainly disagreed.
“Everyone has to pay for their actions.”
Wen Xishu was very calm.
Ling Fu looked at Wen Xishu's face and thought to himself that it was indeed so.
How could someone who is so powerful as to climb the strange tower be a great and glorious person?
Ling Fu was somewhat disappointed, and became more alert.
No one went to help the child, and the woman knew that she had to go by herself to save her child.
At this moment, she probably experienced for the first time the cruelty of the strange tower.
When she approached the shadow, it instantly expanded.
"Help! Help! Save me! Please! Save me!"
No one can save them.
When the woman tried to pull the child out, the shadow seemed to sense the presence of prey and instantly expanded its range, swallowing the woman together.
The screams and cries of the woman and child lasted for two minutes.
During these two minutes, no one offered a helping hand. Everyone watched the woman and child being "executed" slowly.
It was like watching a torture session.
Finally, when the woman and child were completely engulfed…the shadow stayed for about fifteen seconds, then disappeared.
Wen Xishu then said to Nissen:
"It's not that I won't save people, but this is not the Slaughter Tower, nor the Desire Tower. Remember, when facing something strange, don't get close to it before you have a clear way to control it and before you have figured it out."
"Even if you are Albert or Xun Hui, you still have to die if you deserve to die."
Nissen was still thinking back to what had just happened, feeling terrified. Xiao Jin was also obviously frightened...
The man was stuck in the mud, struggling to death but unable to be rescued, and all around him... were onlookers.
Such a picture is as weird as the murals in the prayer room.
Wen Xishu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly returned to the prayer room.
But before leaving, he turned around and said:
"Everyone, except my guards and a few team leaders, are not allowed to move, are not allowed to touch the jars, and go back to their own areas and sit quietly. No one is allowed to move now! Otherwise, I will kill people."
Wen Xishu's tone made the already gloomy cellar even gloomier.
Everyone felt scared, and they were still frightened by what had happened not long ago.
As a result, no one acted rashly anymore, let alone dared to touch anything here.
Wen Xishu turned around and quickened his pace. Yue Yun was sure that Wen Xishu had obviously thought of something...
So the group followed Wen Xishu and quickly turned back from the hall and went to the prayer room.
Wen Xishu didn't look at anything else, but looked directly at the corner of the mural.
The expression on the face of the person holding the sign and facing the audience seemed to change slightly, from fear to joy.
At the same time, the number on the sign changed from 29 to 28.
Lang Haidu and Ling Fu both noticed this scene.
The same goes for Yue Yun, who said:
“The numbers have changed!”
Wen Xishu nodded:
"It seems that the danger was not untriggered, but we were surrounded by danger from the moment we came in."
"Two people died, but the number just dropped a little..."
"It means it has nothing to do with the number of deaths, but with the jar. Do you remember that at the beginning, the kid broke a jar?"
Yue Yun understood:
"So the drop in numbers is related to the jars. But what does 29 mean? Does it mean that we have to ensure that no more than 29 jars are broken in a day?"
"No...that's not right, that's too simple." Yue Yun obviously thought of the truth.
At this moment, he seemed a little frightened.
Wen Xishu said:
"It seems that you have guessed it. We are not trying to ensure that this number of jars... are not broken, but to ensure that at least this number of jars are opened every day."
At this time, everyone was shocked.
Lang Haidu said:
"That kid just opened the jar...but he was dragged right in!"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"The good news is, everyone, we seem to have found a way to play the game. The bad news is... the death toll in this game will far exceed expectations."
"I didn't call those people in because I hope you guys can keep it a secret... so as not to cause unnecessary panic."
Yue Yun tried to think from the same perspective as Wen Xishu.
"The mission analysis we got from the safe house... is that there is a woman here who got a pair of shoes. Then, in order to find a way to maintain the shoes, she started to behave strangely, and the population of this place also began to decline."
"And here, the name of the mission is called the Evil Sealing Room."
Xiewu, also pronounced as Xiewu.
Yue Yun couldn't help but ask:
"Is this related to the jar? Is there something evil hidden in the jar?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Not bad, here are some of my guesses."
"First of all, we are faced with a dilemma, that is, the number 29 becomes 28. If you look carefully, the face of the man in the mural is not so frightened anymore."
"Everyone around was fascinated by the woman wearing shoes, but he was the only one facing us."
“So he was the only one, trying to fight the shoe.”
“And when the numbers go down, it means that cans are being opened.”
“So, in a sense, we’re opening the cans… opening a prescribed number of cans.”
Fang Tianhen was puzzled:
"But opening the jar could kill someone!"
Wen Xishu said:
"Someone will die. It's obvious that the kid's luck is... not good."
Fang Tianhen said again:
"Boss, I know you are a boss, but I am a rough man. I don't quite understand. If opening the can will kill people... and if not opening the can will not kill people, then why should we open the can?"
Wen Xishu pointed at the mural and said:
"You've all climbed the Weird Tower. Do you think that there is a setting in the Weird Tower where you can survive for seven days as long as you stay still?"
"Maybe, but unfortunately, it's definitely not here. And the number 29 just doesn't feel right... I feel more like the number at the beginning was 30."
"That is to say, someone had already opened a jar before that naughty kid. Because it was opened instead of smashed, there was no sound."
"Also, let me answer Brother Fang Tianhen's question."
"First of all, there must be more than one thing in the jar. Have you ever thought that there might be food hidden in the jar?"
"Hidden with various useful props?"
"If we don't open the can, within seven days this place will turn into a cannibalistic hell."
"Besides, if we choose to open the can, then the choice is ours, and we at least have the initiative. If we choose not to open the can..."
"I guess that at a certain time, the 28 cans will open automatically. If they open automatically, do you think that automatically opening cans will be good for us?"
"This is called the Evil Sealing Room. There are jars everywhere. It's very likely that an evil object is hidden in one of the jars."
"If the jar opens automatically... maybe the jar containing the evil will be opened, and then the game might be over immediately, and all of us——"
"They will all die."
Everyone was silent. Even Nissen understood this time.
If you don't take the initiative to open the twenty-eight jars before the specified time, then you are giving the right of choice to the "rules."
If the player takes the initiative to open it, there is at least a glimmer of hope... and there is a chance of getting something good.
But if we use the rules to open it, the rules will know which jars contain "shoes".
A mural can make people want to lick their asses, if a pair of shoes is really revealed...
I'm afraid no one can resist it except Wen Xishu.
Fang Tianhen also thought of this result, and he was a little scared:
"Damn it, after all... these are just your guesses, right?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Yes, there is no evidence. But my guess has a very high chance of being correct, which is why I have 51 points of magic resistance."
51 points of magic resistance, this number shocked everyone again, even Yue Yun and others who had heard of it once.
Wen Xishu's magic resistance value is like the glowing words "Super Chef" in a certain animation, which can help Wen Xishu save a lot of trouble.
Wen Xishu said:
"You can choose not to believe me, you can choose not to open the jar now... wait until night and let the rules open it."
"But the price is almost certainly the annihilation of all of us."
"So you guys wanna gamble?"
Wen Xishu looked at everyone.
Everyone looked at each other.
At this time, someone stood up outside the prayer room.
"I believe in Ashu."
"I believe in Brother Wen too. Let's vote. Hehe."
The graceful Ah Miao and Zheng Zai, wearing an iron mouth mask, appeared at the door of the prayer room.
The two were extremely confident in Wen Xishu's magical powers.
Yue Yun said:
"I don't really believe that the orange vortex can be avoided by just surviving for seven days. I believe in Wen Xishu."
Nissen nodded:
“I believe in smell, too.”
Xiao Jin was already standing behind Wen Xishu.
Ling Fu said:
"That's really amazing, sir. We didn't notice this number at all, and we couldn't imagine so many at a glance."
"I choose to believe what Mr. Wen Xishu said. Ah Chen, what about you?"
Ling Chen said:
"I listen to my brother."
Fang Tianhen said:
"Then...then I will definitely listen to everyone."
Lang Haidu sighed:
"But the problem now is, perhaps as Mr. Wen Xishu said... opening a can has both advantages and disadvantages."
"But now no one sees it..."
"To be frank, there are thousands of jars here... and we have more than 200 people."
"We don't know what's in the jar. And since a child could lift it, we obviously can't tell by weight."
"Then we can only guess. In other words, there may be 28 people who will die next."
"Of course, this is only when the luck is bad enough..."
"We can't die before we come up with other rules, right? Then we have to do something very cruel."
At this moment, Yue Yun belatedly realized how terrifying Wen Xishu was.
Ling Fu's expression also looked a little unhappy. He felt as if he had failed in his plan and was being plotted against.
Because not long ago, Yue Yun witnessed the conversation between Wen Xishu and Ling Fu.
Wen Xishu originally planned to take over the elderly, the weak and the disabled, but Ling Fu took over instead.
Ling Fu must be planning to use the old, weak, sick and disabled people to play the emotional card so that he can avoid participating in certain dangerous activities.
but now……
There is no doubt that letting the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled and pregnant women open the jars is actually the most cost-effective behavior.
Moreover, the one who offended people was no longer Wen Xishu, but Ling Fu.
Wen Xishu didn't actually think that much, he just said:
"Letting others open the cans according to a certain pattern is what we are going to do next, and it is indeed a cruel thing."
"What we can do is to find additional rules that are beneficial to us by opening the jar as quickly as possible."
"As for sacrifice..."
Wen Xishu's tone became indifferent again:
"To put it bluntly, every time you climb the spooky tower, you are almost dead. Every time you climb the spooky tower, you are halfway to the death.
"Sacrifice is inevitable, isn't it?"
Xiao Jin and others looked at Wen Xishu and finally realized that there was a huge gap between themselves and Wen Xishu in terms of mentality.
This is how ruthless a doomsday leader should be.
Wen Xishu smiled and said gently:
"Okay, let's decide the order and rules for opening the jars, shall we? Wish us good luck, what if we find food?"
