Chapter 325 “It” is below
An Zhiyan discovered a problem.
[Absolute Reason] indeed gave her strong self-control, and she could control her emotions and reason with ease.
But in terms of observation and reasoning ability, she is still herself.
It is not improved by absolute rationality.
If Luo Xi hadn't reminded her, this key information might have been overlooked by her.
The lip movements of The Grudge can be understood as a hint, a guide.
Guidance within the scene.
The next few people began to explore and dig around the big tree and the shrine, and soon found results.
There was a plastic bag buried in the soil.
There are several things in the plastic bag.
“Flashlight, compass and map.”
Fatty Qian couldn't help but say, "Maps may be of some use, but what's the use of flashlights and compasses? Although this place is big, it's not hard to get lost. As for the flashlight, it may be of some use in darker places, but it's also dispensable."
"For some props, their function lies not in what they can do, but in what they are." Lin Qiqi said at this time: "Let's take a look at the map first."
The map is expanded.
Something puzzling happened. This was indeed a map, but it was not a map of Shuhai Park, but a map of "Tuntun City".
In addition, the map is scribbled on and looks messy, a bit like it was scribbled on by a child with a ballpoint pen.
As for the flashlight, it was unusable, it was damaged and wouldn't light up at all.
The compass is normal.
"The map represents the direction and route; the flashlight is used to illuminate in a dark environment; the compass can be used when you are lost or in an area where you cannot tell the direction. Combined with the previous hint of 'it's down there', I speculate that there should be an entrance leading to the underground in the Sea of Trees Park. Perhaps, that is the real area to pass this level scene." After Lin Qiqi finished speaking, Fatty Qian understood the meaning of her previous sentence 'The role of props sometimes lies not in their function but in the props themselves'.
An Zhiyan didn't say anything about Lin Qiqi's speculation, but she actually agreed with it in her heart.
Luo Xi didn't say anything either.
He only glanced at the flashlight, compass and map, then shifted his gaze to the female 'Grudge' who was about to climb on him.
I was watching in a trance.
Then Luo Xi walked to the shrine under the crooked tree, squatted down, held up an umbrella, and started looking.
"Luo Ju." Fatty Qian wanted to ask, but Lin Qiqi raised her hand to shut him up.
"Don't disturb him."
"But Luo Ju has been entangled in a curse, and so has the beautiful lady An. The countdown to their death has begun."
"Luo Xi never wastes time. You've followed him for so long, how could you not notice this?" Lin Qiqi asked back, making Fatty Qian speechless.
Does daydreaming count?
Fatty Qian didn’t know, he was just worried about Luo Xi.
For about ten minutes, the four people stayed under the suicide tree with umbrellas. In fact, they were waiting for Luo Xi.
During this time, someone came over.
Judging from the voice, it should be the companion of the person who jumped into Suicide Lake before.
However, the other party obviously saw Luo Xi and the others from a distance and did not come over, but left immediately.
A few more minutes.
The small door on the shrine suddenly closed, and the incense that had been lit was about to burn out.
Luo Xi immediately took a stick of incense, lit it, and offered incense.
The small door of the shrine, which had been confirmed to have the attribute of "Curse", opened again, revealing a palm-sized, black hole-like object inside.
This is already considered as actively being infected with the "Curse".
Similarly, the curse can only be seen by the infected, and this time, Luo Xi actually laughed.
After a few more minutes, Luo Xi finally stood up, turned his head to look, and then walked towards the other three.
An Zhiyan came over and looked around Luo Xi.
"This time, it won't be the girl named Wu Rui, right?"
"is her!"
Luo Xi nodded.
Just now he was waiting for the shrine to be restored, so he immediately burned incense and saw the Grudge crawling out of the shrine, which completely confirmed his previous guess.
"The one who crawled out of the shrine was Wu Rui. When she, Brother Mao, and Ke Lan were exploring this place before, they were contaminated by a curse that triggered their suicide. In other words, the person who dies in this scene will leave behind a copy called the Grudge." Luo Xi finally understood the origin of the most dangerous and terrifying key "Grudge" in the scene.
"According to this statement, doesn't it mean that we can still find the 'curse' of Mao Ge, Ke Lan and Guo Zening here? Wait, wait, they have died here twice. If each death creates a curse, then each of them has left two curses here?" Fatty Qian drew inferences from one example and put forward a possible speculation.
"There is such a possibility!" Luo Xi agreed with this statement.
Then, Luo Xi looked at Fatty Qian and asked, "Have you seen them since they failed the first time they challenged here?" "Yes!" Fatty Qian nodded, but was a little confused about the question.
Luo Xi's next question instantly made Fatty Qian's hair stand on end and he felt a chill running up from the soles of his feet.
"Do you feel that there is anything abnormal or wrong with them?"
This sentence is too easy to arouse people's imagination.
Fatty Qian is not stupid.
It has been confirmed that after dying in the Sea of Trees Park, a 'Curse' that is almost identical to the original body will be left behind. This, combined with Luo Xi's question, makes one feel the horror of it.
In particular, after Fatty Qian recalled it carefully, his face turned pale in an instant.
"Judging from your expression, they have indeed changed. Tell me more specifically and in detail." Luo Xi encouraged.
Fatty Qian swallowed his saliva and wanted to say something. He gestured with his two fat hands, but he stuttered for a while, perhaps because he was too nervous. Fortunately, he adjusted his state and began to speak: "They seem to have some kind of obsession with this scene. No, it's a bit neurotic. I didn't realize there was a problem before, because at that time, because of your disappearance, Luo Ju, everyone was in a bad mood, and they would quarrel over some trivial matters, or they would be silent. But now think about it, this is not normal."
"Especially Ke Lan. Although I haven't known him for a long time, I know him very well. He is cocky and a little blindly confident, but he is still very cautious in doing things. After the first failure in challenging this scene, I once advised them to wait for Luo Ju to come back before making plans, but Ke Lan's reaction was very strange at that time."
"He asked why he had to wait for you to come back. He also said that he had found some clues to pass the level. I asked him what they were, but he didn't tell me. This is not right. He had no reason not to tell me. He was hiding it on purpose, or maybe he forgot. Because not only Ke Lan, but also Mao Ge, Wu Rui and Guo Zening all seemed to have said that they seemed to have lost something in Shuhai Park. I asked them what they lost, but they couldn't tell me. Even after the second failure, they didn't admit that they had said such a thing."
There are some things you can't think about.
Otherwise, the more you think about it, the more you will find something wrong.
Fatty Qian looks like a rough guy, but he is actually a very careful and sensitive person.
He would definitely be able to notice this abnormality.
But because of the special circumstances at the time, everyone was depressed about Luo Xi's disappearance, so even if some weird things were said and done, he didn't care.
It was only because Luo Xi asked him that he realized something was wrong.
"Old Qian!"
"Luo Ju, you say."
Luo Xi spoke because he saw that Fatty Qian was not in a good state. After he finished speaking, he patted the other person on the shoulder.
"What are you afraid of?"
"Me? I'm not scared, I just feel that something is wrong, and I should have told you earlier." Fatty Qian felt a little guilty.
"It's not too late now. Besides, you don't need to be afraid or blame yourself. I'm here."
At this moment, Fatty Qian immediately felt as if he had taken a reassurance pill.
Yes.
If Luo Xi hadn't come back, he really wouldn't be able to handle such strange things, but it's different now.
Luo Xi is back.
What's there to be afraid of?
There is nothing in this world that Luo Xi can't handle.
"Old Qian, I need you to describe their state at that time. You can exaggerate a little, but it must be as accurate as possible." Luo Xi obviously gave Fatty Qian a difficult question.
The latter began to think, recalling the status and details of Ke Lan, Mao Ge and Wu Rui at that time, and then racked his brains to think about what words to use to describe it.
"Here, let me think about it. Use it."
"How about being dispirited?" Luo Xi reminded him.
Fatty Qian was stunned at first, then he slapped his thigh.
"Yes, yes, they were distraught. They looked a little distraught at that time. Wait a minute, Luo Ju, what do you mean?" Fatty Qian realized why Luo Xi used this word to express it.
driven to distraction.
That's the literal meaning.
"Now let's unify the information and the next plan."
Luo Xi waved his hand at this time.
The other three people immediately came over and the four of them formed a circle.
"For the Sea of Trees Park scene, I already have an idea of the rules and gameplay. Simply put, if you want to truly clear this scene, you must face something like the 'Grudge' because the Grudge itself is an essential part of clearing this scene."
The first sentence scared Fatty Qian.
But he is also an old player. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that what Luo Xi said should be the truth.
A dangerous scene that seems to have a high degree of freedom, a place where it rains blood and is easily contaminated by various curses, resentments and almost fatal curses, its rules and gameplay are the real key.
Precisely because it is the key, it cannot be shown to others easily.
"The scene designers here cleverly used the rules and requirements when creating the scene, combining the two requirements of 'must show gameplay' and 'must hide clearance clues' into one. In this way, according to the priority, the mechanism of hiding clues can be used to hide the gameplay, making this a scene that is extremely difficult to pass. It's very clever, but once it is seen through, it will lose all its mysterious aura. In essence, this is a scene that is very ordinary or even very clumsy in design and gameplay."
