Chapter 134 Bloody progress bar!
Without the ability to travel through the mirror, the Mirror Breaker is like a useless person.
In this room, he filled the room with mirrors, but now those mirrors have all turned into comical sculptures.
The sculptures surrounded him, mocking and sarcastic.
"Kill this pervert immediately!" Zhao Yingzhi, who arrived from behind, said in a cold voice.
With that said, Zhao Yingzhi waved the ghost demon knife and was about to step forward to end the life of the Mirror Breaker.
"Don't, don't kill me, I...I can tell you what I know." Mirror Breaker begged loudly.
"Wait." Li Ran stopped Zhao Yingzhi.
Zhao Yingzhi put the demon knife on the neck of the mirror breaker, turned to look at Li Ran and said, "You don't really believe what this pervert said." The mirror breaker was trembling with fear and sweating profusely
.
"It doesn't matter. Regardless of whether what he said is true or false, I have a way to make him tell the truth."
Li Ran took out the little paper figurine of Zhiyin. Under his control, the little paper figurine jumped to the ground, swinging its limbs slowly and comically. Climb onto the Mirror Breaker's body.
"What kind of treasure is this?" Zhao Yingzhi asked in surprise.
When she was in the dark palace, Li Ran's endless array of trump cards and treasures opened her eyes. Unexpectedly, in the past few days, Li Ran had brought out something she had never seen before. She couldn't help but wonder if Li Ran had plucked out Doraemon's pockets. coming.
Li Ran didn't explain. He didn't ask until the little paper figure was firmly attached to the mirror-breaker's chest and a smile appeared on his chest.
He didn't want to ask his perverted peeping questions at all.
"What secrets do you want to tell me?" Li Ran asked.
The mirror-breaker looked frightened, but said in an extremely sincere tone: "Are you kidding? I don't have any secrets to tell you. I just want to delay time." Upon hearing this,
Zhao Yingzhi looked at Li Ran suspiciously: " Is this the answer you want?"
"It doesn't matter, what I want is what he says from the bottom of his heart." Li Ran smiled slightly. He didn't expect the Mirror Breaker to confess anything on his own initiative.
This is not how Zhiyin paper figures are used.
"Do you know the Realm Gate?" Li Ran asked suddenly.
When Zhao Yingzhi thought that this guy was unlikely to know, Mirror Breaker shook his head and said, "I know." Zhao
Yingzhi was stunned by this abnormal scene.
Only then did she realize that the little paper man could reveal people's true feelings.
"Where is the gate and how can I get there?" Li Ran asked.
To survive in a dungeon, the last day is the most dangerous. Although as long as you survive to the end, you can be transferred back to the real world, he doesn't think any player can survive in a monster furnace like Happy Home.
He was afraid that the last day at Cangming Airport would become as dangerous as Happy Home, so he had to make plans early to find out the location of the boundary gate.
"The gate is in the sea of ghostland, you can't reach it." Mirror Breaker said.
Li Ran frowned and his expression became solemn.
The gate to the realm is actually where he least wants to go, the sea of ghostland.
Not to mention how to reach the world gate, it is difficult for players to adapt to being underwater. Even if they frequently use underwater breathing potions, there are still countless ghosts and monsters in the sea.
"How to enter the sea of ghost land?" Li Ran asked with a frown.
The Mirror Breaker laughed: "Stop dreaming, no one can enter that sea of death unless you become a ghost!"
Li Ran and Zhao Yingzhi's expressions immediately became serious.
"Is this sea of ghosts more terrifying than the dark palace?" Zhao Yingzhi asked in horror.
"Has anyone ever entered the Ghost Sea?" Li Ran asked again.
Mirror Breaker shook his head and said: "Yes, there have been many people like you who broke in, and they all died miserably. However, I once saw a small team enter, and they came out safe and sound."
Li Ran raised his brows and immediately felt that something was going on, but the Mirror Breaker's next words extinguished his hopes. The Mirror Breaker said: "They never came out after entering for the second time." Provided by the Mirror
Breaker This information is probably talking about players who have been here before.
There have been players who safely entered the Ghost Sea and came out safely.
As for not coming out the second time, he either died inside or went out through the boundary gate.
"Do you know the rules of the Ghost Sea?" Li Ran asked.
The Mirror Breaker nodded: "I don't know."
With the little paper figurine of a close friend, the Mirror Breaker couldn't lie.
If the Ghost Sea is a place like the Dark Palace, there will be rules there. If you make good use of the rules, you can find the gate and survive.
As an aborigine here, the Mirror Breaker can enter the black mirror space. He can definitely see much more than most aborigines. This is why Li Ran used small paper figures on him.
If even Mirror Breaker doesn't know the secret of this copy of Cangming Airport, he really doesn't know who to turn to to get more useful information.
"Do you know about Nightmare?" Li Ran asked.
"I don't know." Mirror Breaker said.
This was to Li Ran's expectation. Nightmares rarely appeared in their original form. Most of them appeared as players and aborigines. Even his golden finger could not tell the difference, and it was even more impossible for these aborigines to distinguish.
"At twelve o'clock at midnight, what's outside?" Li Ran asked.
Thinking of the rules of the apartment, two of them are related to midnight.
Li Ran was curious about what was outside the Midnight Apartment?
In a happy home, people will be invaded by viruses at midnight and become infected, and people will turn into monsters.
Here, there are messy and weird noises outside at midnight, and there are also weird rules that only two people must be in the apartment. It is impossible that there is nothing outside.
"It's Night Heron!" Mirror Breaker said with a horrified look on his face.
Li Ran and Zhao Yingzhi looked at each other, and both saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes.
"What is Night Heron?" Zhao Yingzhi asked.
The mirror-breaker said with horror on his face: "It comes out at night and hides during the day. It looks like a wraith. Its clothes and fur are like birds, and it sheds its hair like women. It specializes in eating people who are disobedient at night." After hearing this, both of them had a look of astonishment on their faces
.
There really are other ghosts out there at midnight!
He thought of the sound of marbles and high heels outside at midnight. It turned out that these things were causing trouble.
"Wraiths? I don't know if my violin will work on them?"
The sound of the crystal violin can command the remaining souls of the dead. I wonder if the night heron is considered a dead soul.
Think about it, practice is practice, Li Ran will not make fun of his own life.
Specialize in eating people who don't sleep at night?
Li Ran still wanted to ask, but found that the effect of the friend's little paper figurine had disappeared.
Don't look at the look of the one who broke the mirror, howling and begging for mercy with a bloody head. In fact, this guy is very evil. He has been planning how to escape in his heart. His heartfelt words just now have explained everything.
The cool-down time for the Zhiyin paper manikin is one day, and no one can ask anything else.
At this moment, there was a burst of messy footsteps not far away.
Uncle Xu rushed here with Zhu Ling, Qiao Mei and a group of employees from the apartment.
"My mission is to capture the peeper, not to kill him." Li Ran explained to Zhao Yingzhi the reason why he did not kill the mirror breaker.
Zhao Yingzhi nodded and kicked the Mirror Breaker to Uncle Xu's feet.
Uncle Xu asked two employees to catch the mirror breaker.
Qiao Mei and Zhu Ling ran to Li Ran and asked.
"Is this someone spying on me?" Qiao Mei asked.
Li Ran nodded and said, "Yes, please leave it to the police."
"Yeah, thank you, brother."
The two girls expressed their thanks.
Uncle Xu led the people from the apartment and escorted the mirror-breaker away.
The sound of mission completion also sounded in Li Ran's ears.
[Complete the mission: Catch the peeper]
[Complete the reward: Conspiracy +50, Points +500, Excellent Skill*1]
Attributes and points are automatically allocated.
Li Ran immediately checked the exquisite skill, praying in his heart that the skill would not conflict with his own.
Because he felt that the shadow combat system on his body matched well.
If he continues to choose this aspect, he will choose to improve some melee skills.
Of course, it is also acceptable if there are some unexpected long-range skills, or killer moves.
[Skill: Mirror Image (Excellent)]
[Condition: Requires 1500 guile]
[Active skill: Actively turning on can separate into two mirror clones, inherit part of the player's guile value, the player can issue some basic commands, cooling time: 3 hours . 】
Li Ran raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: "This is a good thing."
Where is the painful shadow clone technique?
"The clone can actually inherit the magic value?"
Li Ran thought that the mirror image was just an afterimage illusion, but looking at the skill introduction, it seems that it is not a simple afterimage illusion. It seems that it can be materialized and carry the magic value, which is even more powerful. What's more, it can also issue some basic instructions.
Basic commands are to walk, run, jump or do some simple actions.
Just these few simple actions can almost make the fake look real on some special occasions.
Li Ran was not in a hurry to use the [Mirror Image] skill, as long as he knew how to use it.
He made an appointment with other players at the terminal meeting point.
After delaying some time in the morning, he sent a message to Lan Defei, Xue Jin, and Huang Xijin, saying that he would go to the terminal later.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot something important."
Li Ran sent a very important message to the three of them.
Two days ago, he was suspected of being a nightmare, and no one believed what he said. Later, he was finally cleared of suspicion, and his teammates suffered a lot. In addition, he continued to help players with guidance tasks, causing Liu Pengcheng, a hidden danger, to be eliminated. Oversight.
"The player Liu Pengcheng and the butcher at the meat stall in Cangming Village Market are both nightmares. If you encounter them, please avoid them quickly."
Li Ran also told Zhao Yingzhi this information.
"Take you to the terminal to meet other players." Li Ran said.
"Okay... okay." Zhao Yingzhi replied hesitantly.
Li Ran noticed a change in her expression and asked doubtfully: "Why, do you have other tasks?" This is
not the first time that Zhao Yingzhi has entered the dungeon. She is a player, and she is well aware of her abilities in the tasks in the dungeon.
In the past two days, she had actually only done one guidance task. After the second guidance task, she didn't dare to proceed. She sensed that something was wrong with the task.
But something strange happened to her while she was sleeping last night.
Because there are nightmares in the dungeon that can possess players and indigenous people, she has been walking alone without meeting any players.
In this copy, he only believed in Li Ran and no one else.
Therefore, she was also looking for Li Ran two days ago.
"If it's a mission, tell me. As per the old rules, half the points will be drawn." Li Ran saw her concerns.
Zhao Yingzhi shook her head and said, "It's not a mission."
Li Ran frowned, doubts flashing in his eyes.
(She is the real Zhao Yingzhi.)
Li Ran felt a little relieved after seeing this line of prompts.
She was afraid that the soul in Zhao Yingzhi's body would come out to cause trouble again.
"In my eyes... no, to be precise, something strange appeared in front of my eyes." Zhao Yingzhi stretched out a hand in front of her, as if to grab something.
Li Ran stared at Zhao Yingzhi's strange behavior with confusion: "What is it?" It is
possible to see anything in the strange world, and Li Ran did not think Zhao Yingzhi was crazy.
"It's a red box, to be precise, it's a progress bar." Zhao Yingzhi said.
Li Ran frowned slightly, remembering a recent popular TV series in which the male protagonist saw a countdown in his eyes.
"What kind of progress bar?" Li Ran asked.
"It's just a bloody progress bar, similar to the one used when downloading something. Now the progress bar is almost halfway." Zhao Yingzhi said in a panic.
He couldn't see the progress bar in Zhao Yingzhi's eyes, but just listening to her words made him feel inexplicably uneasy.
You can see the progress bar anytime and anywhere, but you don’t know what the progress bar is for. What’s even more disturbing is what will happen to the progress bar 100%?
"When did it start?" Li Ran asked.
"In the morning." Zhao Yingzhi thought for a moment, and she recalled carefully: "It didn't happen before going to bed last night, but it appeared when I woke up in the morning. When I look at you now, this progress bar appears on your face. Look elsewhere. , it appears in other places, translucent, slowly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and you don’t know what will happen when the progress bar is full." After hearing this,
Li Ran felt inexplicably horrified.
What happened to Zhao Yingzhi? What happened to her in the past two days?
Why is there a progress bar in her eyes?
Does the full progress bar mean the end of life?
Or something else?
To understand all this, you may have to know what happened to Zhao Yingzhi.
"What is your identity? Do you live alone?" Li Ran asked.
"My identity is as a single woman renting a house alone during security check," Zhao Yingzhi said.
"Take me to where you live."
"Yeah."
... Terminal building
,
first floor below. Freight lanes.
"There are so many pipelines here. It turns out that the underground project of the terminal is so huge." Huang Xijin said while looking at the orderly and spectacular pipelines above his head.
"Huang Xijin, did you not sleep well last night? Your eyes are so red?" Xue Jin noticed that Huang Xijin's eyes were red and had heavy dark circles.
"I just fell asleep almost in the morning, hiding in bed with my eyes closed and shivering."
Huang Xijin thought of what she saw last night, and she still has heart palpitations. If she hadn't closed her eyes tightly, convinced that what she saw was Hallucination, maybe she died last night.
As a result, she was unable to sleep at night and felt very sleepy during the day.
But she didn't plan to sleep. She wanted to stay up until night, so that she could sleep until dawn and never have to experience those terrible hallucinations again.
In fact, several people knew what they would experience at night.
Each of them is located in different areas, but as long as it is midnight, strange phenomena will occur at night, making it difficult to sleep at night.
Dungeon apartment rules generally guide the assignment of tasks. If a player leaves the assigned apartment without authorization, the consequences will be dire. This has always been an unchanging rule in the dungeon.
To deal with various strange phenomena at night, players need to rely on their own willpower to overcome them or find ways.
"The signal in the underground passage is very poor." Lan Defei raised her phone and found that the signal was intermittent.
Lan Defi looked at the three people walking in front.
These three people were the players they met in the terminal in the morning.
She sent a message to Li Ran, but there was no reply, and she didn't know what Li Ran was up to.
After the six people introduced each other in the lounge, they decided to go on a mission together.
But because of the incident yesterday that Zi Yan was a nightmare, they became extremely cautious.
She, Huang Xijin, and Xue Jin always stayed together and kept a certain distance from the other three.
Actions must be decided after discussion among the three of them.
There was probably a nightmare among the other three, and they had to pay attention. They didn't want a tragedy like yesterday to happen again.
So the three of them walked at the back of the team, planning to work together to identify the Nightmare by allocating points.
It would be great if you can complete the tasks and get points.
It means that there are no nightmares among the three newly added players.
It seemed that the three people had the same plan. The three people always stayed together and kept a distance from the three people. They seemed to have the same concerns.
"The employee passage down here is like this. The signal is very poor, but you can just walk to the front." A man in maintenance clothes pointed deeper into the passage and said.
"Are you a pipeline repairman?" Xue Jin asked, staring at the player wearing maintenance clothes.
"Yes, my guiding task is to repair these pipes. However, one task asked me to go deep into a channel full of water. I didn't dare to go. That place looked very scary." said the man in maintenance uniform.
"Hey, look at this wall." Another man wearing a black suit, black trousers and leather shoes pointed to the wall in front of him and said.
A string of phone numbers and a line of text were clearly written on the wall.
(Are you alone? Want to chat? Call 13...)
The maintenance worker player said: "It's not surprising that there are these everywhere in the employee passage. After all, is there an airport chicken farm?" "
Brother, please introduce some reliable ones. That's right." The man in the suit said with joy.
"I don't have the guts in this weird world," the maintenance worker said.
At this time, the young man wearing a baseball uniform who was walking at the front stopped, turned around and looked at the people behind him: "Here we are, this is where I will guide the mission." Everyone
stopped and stared ahead.
A huge container appeared directly in front of the passage.
The container is five to six meters long and more than three meters high. It is painted red and the iron door of the container is locked.
"Liu Pengcheng, what's your mission?" the man in the suit asked.
A young man named Liu Pengcheng wearing a baseball uniform pushed up his glasses and said, "It's very simple. Just move the goods in the container into the security check."
