Chapter 252 Emergency Notice from the Company
Chapter 252 Emergency Notice from the Company
In less than a minute, Luo Xi opened the door and walked out.
Everyone was stunned.
"Time is a little fast."
"One minute? No, less than a minute, only about thirty seconds at most. Didn't he pay attention to what was on the screen?"
Everyone's mind was full of speculation.
It was really because the intervals between the 'robbers' entering and leaving the house were too short. You should know that the longest time they took before was more than 5 minutes, and the average was more than 3 minutes.
The friendly man, the hooked nose and the mature woman looked at each other at this time, and walked over to ask about the situation.
Buzz, buzz~
Just at this moment, a cell phone vibrated.
Everyone subconsciously touched their phones, but soon realized something was wrong. They were now in a level scene where the signal was blocked. The phone was no different from a brick, so how could there be an incoming call?
They all confirmed that it was not their phone, and then saw the 'robber' take out a phone from his pocket and answer the call.
"Hello!" Luo Xi couldn't see the caller ID, but he had encountered this situation before. An incoming call without a caller ID meant that the call was from an "administrator's landline". Even on the previous cycle day, Luo Xi used this kind of phone to talk to Ke Lan and others who were in a certain level scene.
This time, it was his turn to answer.
You know what, Luo Xi was a little curious and instantly guessed who was calling him.
First of all, it must be the administrator's landline that called, and this kind of landline is difficult for a "remembrance person" to obtain. If it is a "remembrance person" and he knows him, it is nothing more than Ke Lan and Lin Qiqi who have this ability. It is a bit difficult for others to obtain the administrator's landline.
Apart from the Memory Collector, the next person is naturally the 'Administrator'.
Various possibilities flashed through Luo Xi's mind in a very short time?
Dinghai Old Wang among the Liuding and Liujia?
Or the others, such as Jiachen, Jiazi, or Lao Yao who manages the 'Ghost Building'?
Or is it
These thoughts and ideas began the moment Luo Xi answered the phone and ended when he said "Hello".
And he got results.
He already knew who it was.
"Teacher Han?"
"Hey, Luo, how did you know it was me calling?"
"Is there an emergency?"
"Yes, it's urgent. Well, let me make it short. I think this matter is very special and abnormal. Anyway, I feel something is wrong, so I want to talk to you. In addition, I must hang up within fifteen seconds, otherwise..."
"Then stop talking nonsense and get to the point!"
"The higher-ups suddenly sent out a notice and packaged down some new scenario plans, requiring the people below to change the scenario rules. To put it bluntly, it means increasing the difficulty of the scenario and consuming as many cards as possible from the Memory Collector. There are also stricter performance assessments. Also, yesterday... oh, actually the last round, something big seemed to have happened, but the news was blocked. That's all I know. Be careful and come find me when you have time. Bye!"
Teacher Han spoke as fast as a machine gun, and after he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
It's stuck at the fifteenth second.
"Is it because something big happened up there that they issued an internal notice to change the scene rules? Is it because of the big explosion?" Luo Xi muttered to himself.
Teacher Han's call came at a very timely moment and indirectly confirmed some of his previous speculations.
There is no doubt that the scene manager he is in must have received the notification at this moment, so the game content here will change.
Seeing the 'robber' put down the phone, the friendly, hooked-nosed and mature woman immediately stepped forward.
The phone call was a "secret" and private matter, and although the three of them were curious, they would not ask too much. However, they had all experienced voting, so naturally they had to inquire about it.
"There was nothing inside. I voted and came out. Mirror? Uh, I have some stress reactions to mirrors. I thought voting was the most important thing, so I didn't pay attention. Screen? There was, but it was all snowy and there was no picture. I was also curious why there were several screens on it. Then I voted and came out. The whole process was smooth. Lao Ma didn't say a word. He seemed to be in a bad mood."
The affinity of the three of them is very interesting.
They looked at Luo Xi carefully and felt that he was lying, but his expression was surprisingly normal. Besides, the situation inside did not require him to lie.
Everyone has encountered such incredible things.
Now that the voting is over, you can share it. There is no need to hide it.
The administrator, Lao Ma, also came out of the house at this time with a gloomy expression. Just as Luo Xi said, he looked like he was in a bad mood.
"The voting is over. Now let me announce the results!" Lao Ma paused and continued, "Eight people, six votes in favor and two votes against. According to the rules, as long as one person is in favor, the third round of the game challenge will begin. Everyone, please follow me."
After reading it, Lao Ma took out a bunch of keys and walked out from a door on the side.
Everyone could only follow.
As for who voted in favor and who voted against, there is no point or need to explore this in the current situation.
Besides, everyone who entered the room knew that one could see the secrets and privacy in a person's memory, and this was something they didn't want to talk about, so everyone remained silent throughout the process. However, everyone guessed that one of the two votes against was definitely cast by the 'robber'.
This guy is obviously different from normal people.
This is basically a consensus.
And who cast the other vote against it?
The people behind look at the affinity and hooked nose of the person in front.
I guess these two people are more likely.
After two rounds of games, the eight people already had a certain understanding of who had a good level and who had a poor level, and it was quite objective. Although there were bound to be some differences in cognition between each other, their evaluation of a certain person was surprisingly consistent.
Outside is a high-walled alley between two buildings. It is very narrow, and it is not a problem for one person to pass through, but if someone comes from the opposite direction, it will be difficult to avoid them. The exterior walls of the buildings on both sides are very high, so it gives people a sense of oppression.
Luo Xi glanced at the time.
At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was much brighter than before.
After walking for more than ten meters, the tall old Ma in front opened a locked iron door next to him, creaked it open, then bent down and walked in, and the others also went in one by one.
It looked like an empty warehouse that had not yet been renovated. It was large and deep. In addition to a dozen supporting pillars, there were some undivided rooms. There were hollow bricks and boards left over from construction. There were cement walls all around, and various exposed pipes. There was also a lot of construction waste, wooden boards, and steel frames on the ground.
Compared with the previous exquisite scenes, this place is simply too shabby. One is finely decorated and the other is unfinished, the contrast is very strong.
"The third round of the game is called Deathmatch. It has nothing to do with the previous two rounds of games. All previous professions and the roll call mechanism are invalidated. The rules of the deathmatch are very simple. The two teams are divided into two teams according to the previous voting results. The two teams fight each other to the death. They cannot use their own cards. You can find attack, defense, and biological cards in the scene. With the help of these cards, it will be more convenient and effective to fight. Until one side is completely killed, the side with survivors is the winner. The winner can keep the three cards found in the scene and can take them out of the scene as a reward."
"What?" Upon hearing this rule, everyone was stunned.
What kind of bullshit game is this?
This is forcing people to kill each other.
"Wait a minute, the scene here is the 'Mystery Story Interpretation Hall'. We have been here before. The theme here is just 'Chaos One'. It is a very safe scene that mainly relies on intellectual reasoning and story interpretation. What is this 'death fight' of yours now?" the sturdy man immediately questioned.
"Deathmatch is a new story mode added to this scene, which aims to enrich the player's experience and sense of excitement." Lao Ma explained seriously.
"Nonsense, you haven't even finished decorating here, you just came up with this idea on the spur of the moment, right? I feel like this 'death match' game was all yours on the spur of the moment. If you want us to die, wouldn't it be easier to just execute us directly? Why go through so much trouble?" The tense man on the other end also became excited.
Because the reason they come here is to seek relative safety and stability. Even if there are deaths, they will be controlled within a certain range.
And now, it’s a deathmatch based on the voting results.
What are the voting results?
Six votes in favor and two votes against, which is equivalent to 6V2.
The tense man knew that he had cast a vote of approval. Logically, he had more teammates on his side and was at an advantage.
But the problem is that it is almost certain that one of the two people who voted against was a "robber".
From what we have learned before, the 'robbers' are not good people.
When the administrator shot the high school girl to death, this guy didn't even blink.
What kind of top-level cold-blooded and perverted psychological quality is this?
Moreover, the opponent's intelligence and on-the-spot reaction are rare among the seniors he has encountered. If they were to fight to the death, the six of them might not be able to win.
Of course the most important thing is that this matter is too outrageous.
It's like going to a barber shop to get a haircut and agreeing on 29, but halfway through the cut they force you to get a membership card for 2900, and you have no choice but to do so.
To put it politely, the store is bullying customers and defrauding consumers. To put it bluntly, it is just being a hooligan and a rogue.
That’s why the tense man was so angry. But when Lao Ma heard this, he looked over and said, “Do you want me to execute you directly?”
"No, no, I didn't say that." The nervous man broke out in a cold sweat when he saw Lao Ma's gaze.
If he said "yes", then there would be no doubt that the person on the other side would immediately take out a pistol and shoot him in the head.
This guy is a very accurate shot.
"Then what do you think?" Lao Ma continued to ask.
"No, no, I have no objection." The nervous man realized that he was a little impulsive just now and almost logged off early.
The other people didn't say anything, so why did he jump out?
It's crazy!
He shrank back.
"Of course, in order to prevent someone from killing people right at the start, both teams need to go to their respective preparation areas first. Only when I announce the start can they begin the deathmatch."
"Now please follow your voting choices. The six people who agree will prepare for the battle over here in Area A. The two people who oppose, follow me to Area B over there to prepare for the battle." Old Ma had a smile on his face, as if the reactions of the few Shiyi people were in line with his expectations.
If you look closely, you can see a circle painted on the ground over there with a capital 'A' written on it. As for Area B, it should be at the other end.
