Chapter 443: The Stolen Treasure 2
Chapter 443: The Stolen Treasure 2
[You don't have to be so excited, do you? It is his right when Xinshen downloads the dungeon. Some players haven’t downloaded the dungeon for several years, but what’s the matter? Didn’t Xinshen not show up for half a month? 】
[Shentian Guild named him alone, shouldn't he come out and show up? 】
[The dog barks at you, do you still have to turn around and bark at the dog again? Why did Shentian Guild name Xinshen, and Xinshen insisted on coming out? Are we Xinshen shameless? 】
【It can’t be said that, if Bailixin hadn’t provoked the Shentian Guild, so many people would not have died. 】
【Hey, my anger really came up in a blink of an eye. When a perverted killer kills someone, the victims don't accuse the perverted killer or seek revenge from the perverted killer, but bark at the same victims. What kind of fallacy is this? Is it to see that our Xinshen is too kind? Why don't you scold the people of Shentian Guild? how? Afraid of being retaliated? Cowardly dog, coward. 】
Word of the post spread quickly.
After watching for a while, Bai Lixin closed the forum, stretched his body gently and rested on the sofa.
In his mind, the escape system said softly: [Master Bailixin, do you still remember what you asked me to investigate at the garbage collection station? 】
Bai Lixin let out a [hmm], and his eyes fell on the garden soaked in the beautiful moonlight outside the window, [Remember, I asked you to help me find information about "Lin Xiao"? did you find it? 】
Escape system: [I searched through all the recycle bin information, and only found one clue about Lin Xiao. 】
[He once appeared in an extremely cold instance. 】
[Gender male, age about 30 years old. 】
[Identity unknown, attribute unknown, source unknown. 】
Baili Xin paused: [What is unknown identity, unknown attribute, and unknown source? 】
Escape system: 【meaning, I don't know where he came from, whether he is a player, his occupation, etc. 】
The slender middle finger was bent into the shape of a bow, and he tapped the handrail unconsciously. The young man's gaze fell out of the window, but the gaze in his eyes gradually became deep and distant, and he fell into deep thought, [Okay, thank you Tongmei, for your hard work. 】
Escape system: [Sorry, I didn't help much. 】
"clatter"
"clatter"
"clatter"
There was a rhythmic sound of knocking on wooden objects in the hall, and Baili Xin said slowly: [The extremely cold dungeon, what kind of dungeon is it? 】
Escape system: [It is a half-archaeological and half-expedition team dungeon. That dungeon is a very old dungeon that has been closed for a long time. 】
The rhythmic knocking sound stagnated: [What is the reason for the suspension? 】
Escape system: [A monster appeared in that dungeon, it is not our fully automatic brain system, each dungeon has a task guide. Legend has it that the task guide, who was supposed to be safe and sound, was almost wiped out by monsters in that instance, and only a few survivors managed to escape. The main brain judged this dungeon as an uncontrollable dungeon and blocked it. 】
Bai Lixin: [What about these few survivors? Where are you now? 】
Escape system: [I left a long time ago. Although you players can stay young forever in the game lobby, the time here is also flowing bit by bit. If you calculate according to your 24 hours a day, it is already a hundred years ago. 】
[The so-called mission guides are specially screened out better players, because after this incident, the mastermind realized the fragility of the players, and once the guides are destroyed, it will affect the progress of the game, and then created our systems that will not die. 】
Bailixin: […]
When Tongmei talked about the Winter Expedition, he remembered a photo he had seen in the library.
That photo was posted in the history of the development of horror games. It was a group photo of a group of people wearing thick down jackets standing in front of a snow mountain house.
I just don't know if there's anything in between
Associated.
Lin Xiao claims to be an "orderer", but the people in this game don't seem to know the existence of an "orderer".
What is the Orderer?
Listening to the meaningful dialogue between Lin Xiao and himself when he left, they should meet again in the future, right?
________________________
On the third day, in the morning.
Bai Lixin packed his belongings and stared at the clock on the wall. When the hour hand was stuck on the number "9" and the minute hand fell on the number "12", he decisively applied to enter the copy.
The moment the familiar system prompt sounded, a long-lost black vortex appeared in front of him.
The process of entering the dungeon always makes people feel uncomfortable, and Bai Lixin doesn't want to get used to this discomfort at all. After a brief stomach and head discomfort, the picture in front of him gradually changed from endless black to a narrow room. Room.
In the dark room, the air smelled of rust and blood. His body was wet and sticky, and his wet clothes stuck tightly to his body, making him uncomfortable.
There was an obvious sense of weight on the wrists and ankles. Bai Lixin glanced over from the corner of his eyes and found that his current posture was very bad.
Metal chains were wrapped around his wrists and ankles, and he sat numbly on the cold black metal chair. There are many instruments of torture hanging on the surrounding walls, and the clothes on his body have also changed from the clean white clothes and gray trousers to the tattered blue and gray prison clothes.
In the damp and cramped room, there were two other people besides him.
In front of him was a man who was wearing a straight police uniform similar to that of a western country, with a dark gold badge hanging on the brim of his black hat.
He was holding a black leather whip with a diameter of about five centimeters in his hand, looking down at him from a height.
A dark rectangular interrogation table was placed behind the man near the door, and behind the table was a man also in uniform, who was also looking at this side with a blank expression.
Judging from the scene he knew so far, this should be an interrogation room, and he is a prisoner who is being interrogated.
Grass fuck.
Bai Lixin couldn't help cursing in his heart.
【Ding! 】The cold electric voice programmed by the system sounded in the mind, 【Welcome players to enter the instance of [Stolen Treasure], the level of this instance is an advanced instance, and the number of individuals in the instance is ten.
[This is a country with a strong cultural heritage. As a tourist, Mr. X, that is, the player, you have visited the National Museum in the capital of the country with great interest. You have a strong interest in every cultural relic, and the one that makes you linger the most is a jeweled crown called "Kiss of the Sun". That is the ring worn by Queen Elizabeth of this country in the 16th century. It is a symbol of royal power and is known as the national treasure of this country. 】
[However, this "Sun Kissed" gemstone crown, which is of great significance to this country, was stolen. 】
[The time of its disappearance was finally locked within a certain ten minutes. During these ten minutes, there were a total of twenty tourists and staff members who appeared near the kiss of the sun, and you were one of them. 】【In order to prove your innocence, please find out the real murderer who stole the "Kiss of the Sun". 】
【The dungeon task time is five days, if you cannot find the real thief after five days, you will be punished by this dungeon. 】
[Friendly reminder: For the protection of the player's humanity, it is forbidden to attack the player in the dungeon, and violators will be punished by the system. Punishment: decapitation. 】
[In addition, this dungeon is a minable dungeon, and players will randomly trigger missions in the process of finding the murderer. Once the task is triggered, the player must accept and complete it, otherwise he will be punished by the system. Friendly reminder: The more wrong investigation directions, the more additional missions you will get. Excessive distraction of energy and attention will affect the progress of solving the case. Please be cautious during the search process. 】
[The background explanation of the dungeon game is completed, the game will start after the countdown is over, I wish the players a happy game. 】
[The countdown begins. 】
[3, 2, 1, 0, the dungeon game has officially started. 】
With the sound of the system [Start] falling, the originally stiff screen instantly pressed the start button.
There was a crisp sound of "snap" in the room, and Bai Lixin only felt a burning pain in his shoulder.
The man pulled back the whip and asked without a trace of emotion: "Say, where did you hide the crown?"
Bai Lixin raised his eyes and glanced at the man, and immediately received another whipping from the man: "Damn thief, how dare you look at me like that? You haven't tasted the whip yet, have you?"
The clock on the wall was ticking. Bai Lixin's eyelids slightly covered his eyes, staring at the interrogator's shoes, frowning slightly.
To find the real thief, the first step is to get out of here.
Bai Lixin narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the few words the interrogator said just now.
The first sentence asks "Where did you hide the crown", not "Are you a thief after all?"
Is this sentence too firm? It was as if he had been identified as a thief.
This is inconsistent with the information given to him by the system. The system said that there were clearly twenty suspects.
"Why are you so sure that the thief is me?" Bai Lixin gasped slightly, and he said a word and found that his voice was hoarse and difficult, "I am just a tourist who loves history and cultural relics, is this how your country treats guests? ?”
The interrogator dismissed it, his thick black pupils looked down at the embarrassed young man contemptuously, as if he was looking at a dirty bug: "Eight people have identified you as suspicious, so many witnesses are here, you Still want to quibble? Tell me honestly, you are not in such pain." Bai Lixin's jaw line tensed.
Eight people identified him?
Where did the eight people come from?
This dungeon is for ten people, and there are nine other people besides myself.
Could it be that the one who identified himself was the Shentian Guild and its affiliated players?
But don't everyone start the game at the same time?
Is there really a problem with the identity I played?
Or did the members of the Shentian Guild use a special method to reach this dungeon earlier than themselves?
Bai Lixin: "Then did you find the crown from me?"
The interrogator pulled the chain vigorously, pulled the embarrassed young man up and forced him to look directly at him: "I'm asking you because I didn't find it, cunning thief, tell us quickly, where did you hide the crown?"
The cold metal chains pierced through the wet clothes, making Bailixin feel very uncomfortable. He took two deep breaths secretly, raised his eyelids and looked directly at the sharp gaze of the other party, "Where did you catch me?" ?”
The interrogator frowned suddenly, and his facial features shrank because of anger, "Now I am asking you questions, not you asking me questions, and figure out your position, Mr. Thief."
Bai Lixin sneered: "If you put your energy on me again, the real thief will run away. You said that eight people identified me at the same time. Just because of this alone, it's strange. Don't you
do you think "
"If you are really full of curiosity and interest in the cultural relics in the museum, everyone's attention should be focused on the cultural relics in front of you. Who will notice me?"
"But someone noticed that there are not one, but eight."
"During the ten minutes when the monitoring disappeared, how long did I stay in front of that cultural relic? Did the people who identified me appear at the same time or one after another? If they appeared one after another, did I leave when they appeared? ? If I left, how would they notice my anomaly?"
"I don't think I made any strange noises in the museum, but how did these people notice me?"
"It seems that they are spying on me, or they found me as a scapegoat among twenty people."
"My life is worthless, but is your purpose to find the thief? Your ultimate purpose is to find the crown?"
"I'm not a real thief, I was just framed. Even if you kill me, I can't take out the crown."
"Interrogate me, but it's not as fruitful as interrogating those eight people. Maybe this is a gang war, and the crown was stolen by those eight people."
"You are so quibbling!" The interrogator angrily grabbed Bai Lixin's thin collar, "If I didn't have to pry out clues from your mouth, I should have welded your mouth shut with a soldering iron."
The interrogator's dark eyes stared at Bai Lixin, and suddenly he seemed to have discovered something, and an intimidating light rose from his originally indifferent eyes, his eyes swept over Bai Lixin's facial features bit by bit, and his voice narrowed accordingly , "Suddenly found that you look pretty good, do you know that there are many cruel and terrible criminals in this cell, and they are all vicious. If you are thrown into these cells, I really don't know what will happen .”
"Perhaps, your dirty body is still looking forward to such an encounter?"
Bai Lixin's eyes turned cold, and the moment the interrogator looked back with deep cold eyes, he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, and instinctively let go of Bai Lixin and took two steps back.
"That's enough, Henry." The sound of flipping the paper sounded, and the police officer on the other side said, "He's right. There are problems with the confessions of the other eight. Take him to the cell first. Today's The interrogation has temporarily come to an end."
The police officer named Henry was still in shock. He glanced around the room in a panic before he stabilized his mind. He looked at Bai Lixin with some guard: "Okay, he is lucky today."
The iron chains that had been tied to the wooden frame were loosened, and the heavy metal chains made a crisp "clinking" sound when they fell to the ground. Police Officer Henry and another policeman detained Baili Xin from left to right, walked through the dark and deep corridors and layers of metal gates, and finally sent him into a simple and cold cell.
The cell was a double room with a mess of weeds on the muddy floor.
There are two beds in the room, one on the left and one on the right, and there is a person lying on one of the beds. There was no response from the other party when it was opened.
The bed was covered with dry weeds, and above the weeds was a dilapidated rag that had been slept on by countless people and was so dirty that the original color could not be seen.
Bai Lixin hesitated for two seconds, then lifted the rag, and sat directly on the hard bed.
When people sat on it, the bed made a fragile and joyful "creaking" sound, as if it would be cut into several pieces in the next second.
The first thing I saw when I entered the dungeon was the interrogation room. The first second I opened the dungeon, I was whipped, and I actually had to sleep in a cell on the first night.
very nice.
I don't know if it's because the temperature here is already very low or because his body is soaked in water. People like Bai Lixin who are very resistant to the cold also feel a kind of coldness that penetrates the heart.
The cell was full of musty and decaying smells. From time to time, patrolling police officers walked through the outside, and the wailing sounds of prisoners often came from around the walls without any shelter or shelter from the cold.
There was a wall behind Bailixin, but he always felt that the wall was useless. The cool wind just rushed through the wall and drilled into his pores.
Because of the constant police patrol, Bailixin did not directly take out the warm clothes from the backpack, but shrank his neck and straightened his back so that he would not touch the cold wall behind him.
Bai Lixin looked at the man on the next bed.
From the time he came in to the present, this person has kept the same posture. He is wearing the same blue and gray striped prison clothes as himself. Without realizing it, he just lay there quietly.
It was so quiet.
Bai Lixin stood up from the bed suddenly, walked a few steps quickly, walked behind the man, pulled the man's arm and turned him over.
The opponent's body maintained the posture just now and was turned stiffly
Come on, your face is already pale. The man just opened his eyes and stared straight ahead, his body curled up into a shrimp shape, and his palms were still kept in the cuffs for warmth.
His whole body was stiff, and he didn't know how long he had been dead.
"Come here," Bai Lixin stood at the door and called out to the patrolling police outside, "Someone in my cell froze to death."
The patrolman raised his eyelids numbly, glanced at the bed inside, and said casually: "Ah, what a pity, he will be released from prison tomorrow, as long as he persists for another day."
As he spoke, he pushed open the prison door, skillfully
The corpse was carried on the shoulders and walked out. When passing by Bai Lixin, the patrolman grinned and showed a circle of white teeth to Bai Lixin: "Don't worry, you won't be lonely, we will replace you with a new roommate immediately."
Bai Lixin: "."
Half an hour later, there were rustling footsteps outside Baili Xin's cell door. After a while, there was the sound of unlocking the prison door, and a figure walked in.
The patrolman's familiar voice sounded: "Go in boy, you will sleep here tonight."
As he said that, the man was pushed and shoved, he was pushed in two steps, and the metal cell door closed again.
Sitting on the bed, Bai Lixin looked up at the straight man at the door in the dim environment, and that man looked at him with the same gaze.
After a while, Bai Lixin blinked, "Lin Xiao?"
The iconic suit was replaced by a messy prison uniform, and the meticulous hair became a little messy. Even so, the man was still as cold and numb as ever, and he still looked like an emotionless robot.
Not long ago, he was chatting with Lin Xiao with the escape system, but he didn't expect to meet again under such circumstances.
It's really embarrassing every time.
The expression on Lin Xiao's face didn't change a bit, he nodded slightly towards Bai Lixin, and greeted him politely: "Meet you again, Bai Lixin."
Bai Lixin looked at Lin Xiao. From his direction, Lin Xiao's wide prison uniform could not completely cover him, so that his shoulders and collarbone were exposed to the air.
Some dark marks appear above the shoulders and disappear just above the collarbone. It was a hidden pattern, and Bai Lixin could vaguely see that it was a few sharp beast claws.
But he knew that those were not beast claws, but dragons carved on the skin.
On Lin Xiao's back was engraved a picture of Nine Dragons carrying a coffin.
Lin Xiao is the "player" he met in the Deep Sea Laboratory dungeon. The reason why the word "player" is in quotation marks is that his identity is yet to be verified.
At that time, including Lin Xiao, there were a total of ten people who participated in the dungeon, but after leaving the dungeon, everyone except themselves forgot Lin Xiao's existence.
Lin Xiao called himself the "Orderer", and in the copy of ten people, only nine of them were remembered in everyone's memory. Even Dijia didn't remember Lin Xiao's existence.
When he was in the dungeon of the mermaid laboratory, he felt that Lin Xiao was full of secrets. His skin was cold, and those crazy sewer monsters liked to chase living things, but they did not appear behind him.
The escape system had left his brain for a while, and the purpose of leaving was to go to the recycling bin for him to find out who Lin Xiao was.
In the end, there was still little gain.
He always thought that Lin Xiao would appear again, but he didn't expect to meet again so soon. Recently, the transcoding has been serious, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please move your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thanks
