Chapter 393 Disaster Star Game
Chapter 393 Disaster Star Game
Liang Qu spent a cycle day and found some valuable clues in Gugu County.
Although the number and scale of the level scenes here are not as large as those in Tuntun City, it is definitely not something that he can explore clearly in a single day.
Liang Qu himself was also aware of this.
Therefore, he chose to go to the local gathering place of the Shimizu people to inquire about the news.
There is also an organization similar to the Awakener Association over there. Although it is not large in scale, it knows a lot of key clues because it has been deeply rooted in the local area for a long time.
First of all, he was sure that the fire in his house was indeed caused by the level scene.
After all, in the artificial false world of the Day of Confinement, there is no such thing as an "accident". All the unexpected situations here are artificially designed.
And this news is not a secret at all.
Because of this fire, a very famous level scene is involved here.
Disaster game!
Liang Qu found out the details of the "Disaster Star Game" without much effort.
The Disaster Star game is very special.
The special thing is that this game is related to disasters, including but not limited to fire, gas leaks, car accidents, building collapses, etc.
Throughout Gugu County, all the seemingly unexpected disasters that occur during this cycle can be found in the Disaster Star game, and can be used as game scenes for participation and completion.
Different disasters will give you different rewards after clearing them.
After Liang Qu found out these clues, he immediately participated in the Disaster Star Game.
Moreover, he also found the fire that killed his wife and children in the Disaster Star game.
He was very excited at the time, thinking that he could finally rescue his family, because in his opinion, there was no level that could not be conquered.
If it doesn't work once, try it twice. If it doesn't work twice, try it three times.
However, Liang Qu overlooked one point.
When he actually passed the Disaster Star Game and entered the corresponding disaster scene, he discovered that what he had to endure was definitely not just the threat brought by the disaster.
There is also the pressure of facing the continued death of family members in the same disaster.
He failed the first time he played the game, and watched his wife and children die in the fire.
Of course, he himself was burned to death.
But the pain he felt was nowhere near as intense as watching his family die in front of him.
At that moment, Liang Qu truly realized what despair and fear were.
On the next cycle day, he tried to contact Luo Xi, because the disaster game could not be passed by brute force, it required some brainpower, but this was exactly what he lacked.
In this regard, the strongest person Liang Qu could think of was Luo Xi.
After all, he and Luo Xi had worked together on the strategy for the level scenes, and Liang Qu really admired Luo Xi's abilities.
But on that cycle day, he didn't contact Luo Xi.
At that time, he didn't know where Luo Xi was. In desperation, he could only ask other senior people for help, but the result still did not change.
The second time he challenged the disaster game, he still failed. Then, he once again watched his wife and children perish in the sea of fire. At that time, he hugged his family and watched them wail in pain under the flames. That feeling almost drove Liang Qu crazy.
He cried.
He really didn't want to endure this anymore, but he couldn't give up. However, the problem was obvious.
If he can't complete the game, he will have to watch his wife and children die tragically in front of him again and again.
Liang Qu couldn't stand it.
Even a heart of steel cannot bear it.
He can only pin his hopes on Luo Xi.
In Liang Qu's opinion, the only way to resolve this matter is to find Luo Xi.
"So, you are on your way to Gugu County now?" Luo Xi had already gone downstairs at this time.
It's not dawn yet, but that's just right, Luo Xi is going to Tun Tun Bookstore to meet Qiu Kui.
To him, Okra is definitely a very important companion and also the person that his former self left behind to help him.
This can be proven by the fact that the other party was able to produce the Horadric Cube numbered 077.
What's more, they once had a conversation, which confirmed Qiu Kui's identity.
Ever since he cleared Tuntun Bookstore and obtained the [Hradic Cube] last time, Luo Xi hasn't seen the other party again. This time, Luo Xi hopes to get something he wants from Qiu Kui.
On the phone, Liang Qu said that he would arrive in Gugu County in more than an hour.
Because the starting point after waking up is Tuntun City, Liang Qu has to drive more than 200 kilometers to another place every cycle day.
"Tell me more about the Disaster Star game." It was obviously impossible for Luo Xi to follow Liang Qu to Gugu County. All he could do was analyze the level scenes through Liang Qu's description and give the other party some methods to pass the level.
It’s a bit difficult. After all, I didn’t see it with my own eyes or experience it personally, so some information may be biased.
But there was no way, Luo Xi had more important things to do.
Liang Qu also understood this point.
So he carefully explained the process and rules of the Disaster Star Game. "The Disaster Star Game is different from the levels and scenes we have encountered in the past." Liang Qu is not a good storyteller. It can even be said that he is a bit clumsy, so when describing some things, there will be some incoherent and even logical contradictions.
Fortunately, Luo Xi can help him sort it out.
"This game allows you to see records of dozens of disasters, big and small, that occurred in Gugu County, just like some kind of game cartridge. The fire in my house was one of them. I chose this disaster star game, and then I could go through a door and directly enter the crime scene at that time."
"Wait a minute, you mean, you can go directly to the crime scene?" Luo Xi asked at this time.
"Yes, that's indeed the case." Liang Qu said with certainty.
"So, you said before that you watched your family members die every time. Then, you must have tried to use violence to take your family members away from the scene, right?" Luo Xi knew Liang Qu very well. This guy had the career card of [Giant Strength Man]. Generally, when doing things, he would use brute force if possible and would never use his brain.
If he uses his brain, it must be because he has no choice.
"I tried, but all the doors and windows in the building were sealed. Of course, that's not the point. I can blast open even the most secure anti-theft door. The point is that gasoline has been sprinkled in the scene. If those people move their fingers, it will immediately cause a fire."
"those people?"
"Yes, I feel like they are administrators, or employees within the scene."
The scene had already been set.
Just a little spark and it will burn.
The appearance of the "those people" Liang Qu mentioned could not be seen, because they were all wearing strange hoods that seemed to be made of linen. In front of the hood was a piece of white cloth, and on the white cloth was the word "disaster" written on it.
There is a fire under the roof.
It is very unlucky and most people would not put the word "disaster" on their faces.
These people are very powerful. Liang Qu has tried to fight them directly, one-on-one. Liang Qu is not afraid. Even if he exerts all his strength, even if it is one-on-two, he still has a chance of winning.
But the problem is, there are more than a dozen of these people, and if they attack together, no matter how hard he tries, he will not be their match.
But these "disaster people" will not attack actively.
They will force people to join their games.
If they win, they will leave immediately and no disaster will occur. If they lose, sorry, all the memory-collectors who participated in the game, including everyone in the two buildings, will be burned to death.
There are three games.
One is ring fighting.
One on one.
There is nothing wrong with Liang Qu, he can win.
The problem lies with two other games.
The second game is threading a needle. The player has to thread 100 needles within the specified time. To be honest, this challenge, which requires concentration and dexterity, is very difficult for Liang Qu. However, he can complete it with practice and patience.
The biggest problem comes with the third game.
"The first test is strength and physics, the second is concentration and dexterity, and the third... is intelligence?" Luo Xi asked.
"Yes." Liang Qu sighed.
This is actually very easy to guess. Only this kind of challenge can force Liang Qu into this state.
"The other party will ask me three questions. The first two questions are fixed, and the third question is random, but I can't answer any of them," Liang Qu said helplessly.
"Let's talk about the fixation problem first."
"Okay, the first question is, there are 100 people, both men and women, the men tell the truth and the women lie. If you ask how many women there are, the first person says 1, the second person says 2. And so on, the 100th person says . So how many women are there?"
A normal person would be able to answer this question with just a little thought, but to be honest, for Liang Qu, a guy with a brain full of muscles, it is indeed beyond the scope.
Luo Xi probably understood.
This Disaster Star game is indeed very cunning. The three challenges are almost about selecting a 'perfect person', that is, someone who has both strength and physics, as well as concentration and dexterity, and at the same time, a high IQ.
It is easy to find someone who meets one of the three conditions, but it is not easy to find someone who meets all three.
No wonder Liang Qu was forced into this state.
Moreover, Luo Xi was sure that in the third challenge game, no matter how difficult the first two fixed questions were, they could be completed by asking for help. The key point was the third random question.
Only the specific challenger can hear it and answer it on the spot.
This is the real key.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the third so-called random problem can be "derived", that is, it can be predicted.
However, the specific details depend on what the first two fixed questions are.
Now Luo Xi already knows the first problem.
Naturally, he could answer it immediately.
"Liang Qu, this question is very simple. The first person is a woman, and she is telling a lie. The same is true for the second person, and so on until the 99th person, who is a man telling the truth. So among these 100 people, there are 99 women and 1 man."
