Chapter 186 Day and Night

At this time, Zhang Ming turned his head and glanced at the young man walking next to him.

To be honest, she felt a little unconvinced.

They are about the same age, but it is obvious that they are not equal in status. It would be fine if the other party was a member of the management of the Awakener Association, but he is not.

An unknown, nameless person!

So why is Brother Qu so "polite" to this person.

Moreover, they listen to each other in everything.

This is unreasonable and does not comply with the rules of the Awakener Association.

But she trusted Liang Qu, so she would do whatever Liang Qu said, but with reservations.

"According to the scene rules before the revision, the first floor of the four areas ABCD are all safe areas and there will be no danger." Zhang Ming continued to perform her duties because she was a clerk in the clerical position in the Awakener Association.

Specially records information for various scenarios, including strategies, rules, architecture and summarized experiences.

These tasks are very tedious and involve dealing with a lot of text and data. First of all, one must have a better memory than an average person and also have a very strong ability to organize and summarize.

In this regard, Zhang Ming is confident that she is definitely among the top three secretaries of the Awakening Association.

"Then which area did we enter from just now?" Luo Xi asked at this time.

"Area A, the only entrance to this scene is in Area A. However, the first floors of the four areas are interconnected, but not all floors are interconnected in the four areas. Only the first, fifth, and ninth floors have passages. Other floors cannot be accessed across areas."

Zhang Ming speaks very fast.

She already knew this information by heart.

"Please continue!" Luo Xi said.

"Okay, the rules of the previous scene are also survival. You need to find a triggerable plot among the 660 households. After hundreds of attempts by the Awakener Association, we have summarized a very complete set of clearance strategies, including plot points that are not very dangerous and how to obtain some special cards."

Zhang Ming knew all this information by heart, and he mentioned dozens of plot points and details in one breath.

Plus she spoke so fast that a lot of people heard her, but most of them could only remember a small part of it.

Just like during class, the teacher at the podium lowers his head to read, instilling dozens of knowledge points in a short period of time. Who can hear and remember all of them?

It is impossible for others to remember this, and Zhang Ming also knows this.

Moreover, she spoke very quickly on purpose, firstly to demonstrate her professional ability, and secondly to intimidate the young man.

What this means is that even before the revision, this scenario is extremely complex and cumbersome, with hundreds of pieces of information, and it can be very difficult to handle if you are not careful, so no matter what decision you make, it is best to discuss it with us.

"Thank you, you explained it very well." Luo Xi expressed his gratitude at this time.

"You're welcome." Zhang Ming just took it as a polite remark.

The next moment, she spoke again: "Next, you can listen to our scenario analyst's prediction and analysis of the revision of this level scenario, which will be helpful."

"No need!" Luo Xi waved his hand.

Zhang Ming was stunned, and behind her, a young man who was about to step forward to speak also frowned.

He is a scenario analyst.

Just now, he quickly analyzed at least three possibilities of the scene revision, and the three analyses and speculations included many different variables. He was ready to show his talent, but in the end, the other party didn't even intend to listen.

He glanced at Zhang Ming, who immediately said, "Scene analysis is very important for strategizing a revised scene. I think you'd better listen to it. It will be helpful."

"No thanks!"

Luo Xi refused again.

Zhang Ming sighed, and the scenario analyst was even more dissatisfied.

But they didn't say anything.

The two men walked to the back at this time and talked in low voices.

"What does this guy do? He's very cool."

"I don't know. I'm afraid he didn't even listen to what I said just now. I really don't know why Brother Qu would listen to him."

"Oh, didn't you notice that this person's way of speaking and posture looks familiar?"

"Ah, yes, I think so too. It looks a lot like Chief Lin."

"Yes, he might be a fanboy of our leader, so he imitates him in everything. I understand him because I also admire the leader, but I know myself well. I can't reach the leader's level. Similarly, this person can't do it either. He is just pretending to be like him."

"What are you two whispering about?" Liang Qu turned his head and asked.

Although the two of them talked in low voices, it was still obvious because no one else was talking here.

"No, let's compare notes and analyze the scenario."

"Oh, pay attention. Zhang Ming, you are the clerk. You need to record the new details in the scene."

"Understood, Brother Qu!"

Just at this moment, a bell suddenly rang.

It was too sudden and too harsh, leaving everyone stunned.

Some people even shuddered in fear.

After the ringtone, a broadcast sound was heard.

"Please note that the day ends and the night begins!"

The same report, three times in a row.

Obviously, this broadcast is very important.

Luo Xi looked at Zhang Ming who was already stunned behind him.

"From the look on your face, I know this isn't a mechanism from the previous scene. Apparently, it's a new addition after the revision."

"Everyone, follow my orders and hide in the surrounding cardboard boxes, now!"

Luo Xi immediately issued an order.

"A cardboard box?"

Everyone was stunned, but everyone's reactions were different.

Wu Rui, Mao Ge, Fatty Qian and the others didn't hesitate at all. They immediately found the nearest cardboard boxes to hide in, and they did it very quickly.

But the people on Liang Qu's side were not so good.

"The original intelligence didn't include any plot where one could hide in a cardboard box," said the young scenario analyst.

Obviously in his eyes, Luo Xi's order was groundless and inexplicable.

It was just a broadcast saying that the day was ending and the night was beginning. How could one tell that this sentence had anything to do with cardboard boxes?
It's simply incomprehensible.

"Excuting an order!"

However, Liang Qu's next words made these people react.

Now, Luo Xi is the 'commander'.

So no matter what the order is, it must be executed without compromise.

It has to be said that Liang Qu and his people are indeed the elite of the Awakening Association and are loyal. Although they were unwilling and even somewhat resistant, they carried out Luo Xi's orders meticulously.

Hidden in a cardboard box.

Including Zhang Ming and the scenario analyst.

There were many cardboard boxes in the corridor on the first floor, so there was enough space for them to hide. Even a big guy like Liang Qu could put a cardboard box on his body, squat down, and hide among the other cardboard boxes.

From the outside, you can't tell there's someone hiding unless you look carefully.

They now look like children playing hide-and-seek, a little childish.

At this moment, in a large cardboard box against the wall, Luo Xi looked at Lin Qiqi and Wu Rui who were almost sticking to him, and was speechless.

"There are still a lot of boxes. Do you think it's fun to fight with me for one?"

Of course, I said it in a low voice.

"Actually, it's not crowded at all if there are two of us, but now there's one more person." In the dark box, only a few small round holes could seep in a little light, shining through her dark eyes, and it can be seen that she is staring at Wu Rui, like a snake staring at its prey. "Sister, I weigh 47 kilograms, how about you?" Although Wu Rui looks petite, the coldness in her eyes is no less than Lin Qiqi.

They were both staring at each other and their words were just as aggressive.

Luo Xi even suspected that Wu Rui might be holding a pen in her hand at this moment.

"You two continue chatting, I'll change places!"

Luo Xi quickly got out of the cardboard box and moved to the side.

Just as he hid himself, strange footsteps were heard in the distance.

There was a crackling sound, just like a group of children running towards us, without any shoes, and barefoot.

"Are you guys hiding well?"

A child's voice came from a distance.

The voice was clear and crisp, and sounded like that of a little boy of seven or eight years old.

There is a hint of innocence in the simplicity, and a bit of mischief hidden under the innocence.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this voice.

The expressions of the scene clerk Zhang Ming and the scene analyst Feng Kai changed almost at the same time. The former knew all the details of the previous version of this scene, but he was sure that there was absolutely no plot of children playing hide-and-seek.

There is no division between day and night.

More importantly, any unexpected situation in the level scene indicates danger. Hide and seek is undoubtedly one of them. However, according to past intelligence, no matter which area ABCD in the building, the first floor is safe.

But now, the first floor also seems unsafe.

As for scenario analyst Feng Kai, he thought even more.

"It's only been seven or eight minutes since we entered the scene. How did he know that he had to hide after entering the night? The problem is, hiding is obviously a game of hide-and-seek. So, did he know the content of the game in advance?"

"That's impossible. I've carefully observed along the way and there's no clue pointing to the setting of hide-and-seek."

"Also, why do we have to hide in a cardboard box when playing hide-and-seek?"

"What will happen if those kids find it?"

At this moment, all kinds of questions filled Feng Kai's mind, like many ants crawling in his chest, making him itchy.

He is now eager to figure out these issues.

At this moment, an invisible sense of danger and oppression came over me.

Accompanied by the sound of bare feet walking on the cold floor.

Snap, snap, snap~
At this moment, no one needed to remind everyone hiding in the cardboard boxes. They knew to hold their breath and not move.

The brave ones would secretly peek out through the gap in the cardboard box.

Then they would see a child with a bruised body and a horrible face, tilting his head and looking around with eyes so dark that there was not a trace of white in them.

There is no doubt that this is a ghost.

He exudes terrible malice and resentment.

So much so that one could see streams of black air spreading and rising from the purple skin, visible to the naked eye.

"Where is it hidden?"

The child was mumbling to himself at this moment.

The sound is clear and pure.

But with this situation and his appearance, the sense of weirdness and horror reached its peak.

There are lights in the building.

It's the kind that falls on the ceiling, with an old lampshade every seven or eight meters.

At this moment, the dim light bulb was flickering.

With a primitive uneasiness and restlessness.

Everyone knows that if they are found by this child ghost, they will die.

Therefore, everyone hiding in the cardboard box held their heart in their throat and stood still, hoping that the little devil would not rummage through the box.

But expectations are just expectations after all.

The child ghost seemed to hear some noise at this time. It moved closer to a cardboard box and looked at it closely.

The people hiding inside were extremely nervous.

The next moment, the child ghost suddenly opened the box.

"Found it!"

The child ghost stared at the stunned Shi Yi people inside with a grin, and clapped his hands excitedly.

The unlucky person who recalled his past was Fatty Qian.

At this moment, the fat man's face was as pale as paper, sweat was pouring down like rain, and he was so scared that he couldn't say a word. He was usually very smooth-talking, but now he was like a mute, unable to utter a word.

Just when everyone thought that the fat man was dead, another cardboard box next to him was opened.

"Ha, now that we've found him, let's quickly change people. This time, it's Fatty's turn to find us. Quick, quick, quick, let's hide quickly and don't let Fatty find us." Luo Xi walked over, pulled the little ghost, then quickly ran away, turned a corner, and disappeared.

At this moment, Fatty Qian and everyone else hiding in the cardboard boxes were stunned.

So much so that for the next few seconds, no one moved, no one spoke, and the silence was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"What's going on?" Brother Mao was still confused. Of course, other people had the same question.

Compared to those people who were more familiar with Luo Xi, the people on Liang Qu's side were completely dumbfounded.

"This does not conform to the norms of crisis management. He actually dared to actively contact the ghosts in the scene without any intelligence support. Is he a lunatic?" Feng Kai slapped himself twice at this time.

I guess I was dreaming.

"What should we do now?" asked Zhang Ming next to him.

She is also in a state of confusion now, but of course, she recorded the hide-and-seek plot truthfully, as it is her duty.

That is, the recorded information is very messy.

The new version of "The Haunted Mansion" has two time states: day and night. During the day, the dangers are unknown, but at night, it is known that hide-and-seek plots will occur. You can hide in cardboard boxes in the corridor. If you are found, you can hold the ghost's hand and leave together?

why?
And why?
"What are all these things?"

Zhang Ming had never recorded such strange information.

As for what to do now, no one knows.

"Feng Kai, you are a scenario analyst. What do you think we should do now?" Liang Qu asked at this time.

Feng Kai is worthy of being the scenario analyst of the Awakener Association. Although all this is extremely strange, he still suppressed his curiosity and confusion and just gave a suggestion based on the current situation.

"Luo Xi just said that this time it's Fatty's turn to look for it, so, let's do it according to this arrangement. Everyone hide. Um, Fatty, you come to look for it." After Feng Kai finished speaking, he quickly put the cardboard box on himself, squatted down, and stopped moving.

The others were silent for a second and followed suit.

"No, I look for it? How do I look for it? Hey, say something." Fatty Qian was shocked and scared at the moment, confused, and his mind was blank, but everyone tacitly hid again at this time.

He could only muster up the courage to stand up, think for a moment, and then say, "Looking for it, then here I come."

Looking at the row of cardboard boxes in the corridor that obviously contained people, Fatty Qian didn't know whether he should go over. As he was hesitating, Luo Xi poked his head out from the corner and waved at him.

At this moment, Fatty Qian felt as if he had been pardoned. He was almost crying and ran over quickly.

"Luo Ju, wuwuwu, I thought you didn't want us anymore."

The fat man really cried.

He had already wet his pants after the scene just now, and his crotch was now feeling cold.

"Stop crying, come on, take a walk with me." Luo Xi said at this time.

"Stroll? Now?" Fatty Qian was even more confused. In this situation, is it the time to stroll?

His mind is now full of questions.

"Wait a minute, Luo Ju, do you know something?" Fatty Qian was not stupid. He reacted at this time and asked hurriedly.
