Chapter fifty-five

"..."

Wen Jianyan closed the live broadcast interface with question marks all over her head.

Su Cheng asked, "What's wrong?"

"……knowledge."

Wen Jianyan blinked, and after thinking for a few minutes, she said with some certainty, "My audience seems weird today."

Su Cheng also "touched" his head with the monk-in-law: "???"

However, Wen Jianyan quickly forgot the strangeness of the barrage in the live broadcast.

Since there is no way to get information from the audience, it can only start from the place.

When he acted with the previous group of anchors, he had been hovering on the edge of the distant distant place, which almost reminded this group of the existence of his own NPC.

And under the crisis that strikes all the time, even the anchors have to struggle to save their lives, and pay more attention to a person who is always out of their sight regardless of their position or action.

Especially in the aspect of shrinking existence, Wen Jianyan can be regarded as an absolute expert.

However, this also poses a problem.

That is, many clues Wen Jianyan cannot directly contact, which makes him unable to obtain the required amount of information to the greatest extent.

He stood there and pondered for a few seconds, then turned to look at Su Cheng: "Did you find the note from the hand of the paper in 1304 before?"

Su Cheng was startled: "Yes."

Wen Jianyan nodded, stepped forward, and squatted down beside the male protagonist's paper.

Soon, he pulled out a small note from the paper's stiffly clenched hand. The note unfolded, and the writing on it was clearly visible - "Always be with baby."

After eating it, they are indeed together.

Wen Jianyan stood up and turned to Sanitation.

The door that had just been locked by Su Cheng was easily unscrewed, making a creaky sound in the dark, and with the end of the special line, the female corpse inside had disappeared, leaving only the dirty blood and hair on the ground. .

What was soaked in the center of the blood pool was a piece of paper that was torn apart.

Wen Jianyan found the part belonging to the "hand", and also found a note from it——

"Family and separated from Meimei."

In a sense... also realized.

Wen Jianyan put the two notes together for comparison, then turned to look at Su Cheng, and asked, "By the way, is the handwriting on the note you found in 1304's paper hand the same?"

Su Cheng obviously didn't expect Wen Jianyan to ask such a question.

He thought for a while, then shook his head in frustration: "I...know."

Previously in 1304, at most he only looked at the note he had found. He had only heard the content of the note in the hand of the other anchor, and had never thought of looking at the handwriting.

"Until you have an impression of the writing on the note you found, right?"

Su Cheng thought for a while: "Yes."

Wen Jianyan stepped forward and showed the two pieces of paper in his hand to the other party: "Is it similar to the writing on these two pieces of paper?"

The handwriting on one piece of paper is rough, while the other one looks much more delicate.

Su Cheng shook his head affirmatively: "Similar."

"so."

Wen Jianyan nodded thoughtfully.

Su Cheng asked, "What's the matter? Did you find anything?"

"It's nothing." Wen Jianyan put the two notes in his pocket: "just confirmed that these notes should have been handed down by the deceased, their original wish, but a curse from something."

"Okay, now let's sort out the known clues."

Wen Jianyan looked at Su Cheng and said slowly:

"If you push it down according to the time line, that is, the residents in 1306 made a wish, and the wish was realized in a distorted form, so the massacre occurred in 1306.

The babies in 1306 were put into the Soul Locking Altar, and then they were obtained by the residents in 1304.

A massacre occurred in 1304.

That's about it, right? "

Su Cheng nodded.

"According to the information provided by Wen Po, the home that stole the soul altar will be entangled by evil spirits, and then a massacre will occur."

Wen Jianyan turned his head and pointed to the empty shrine that was turned over in the distance, and said:

"So, there should also be a soul lock altar in the house of 1306's residents, and this soul lock altar should have been taken away by other anchors before they came outside.

Su Cheng: "Indeed..."

He slowly frowned, with a hesitant and confused look on his face.

"Looks like you realize it too."

Wen Jianyan smiled, her amber eyes slightly curved: "...Mother Wen is lying."

"The Soul Locking Altar in 1304 was completed after the massacre in 1306." Wen Jianyan slightly bent her phalanx and tapped the front shrine that had fallen to the ground:

"Even, it is possible that the mother-in-law made it herself and gave it to the next family."

Su Cheng shivered, a chill climbed up his back, his sweat stood up stiffly, and his voice turned dry: "Wait, then why did she ask us to find..."

Wen Jianyan didn't answer, but went straight to the TV cabinet, picked up the phone that had been thrown on it, and turned off the camera.

[Main Quest 1: Hold a Soul Summoning Ceremony in Room 1306 (limited to one hour)]

[Completion: 100% Reward Points: 5000]

[Main Quest 2: Shooting the soul-calling ceremony, the duration is less than ten minutes]

[Completion: 100% Reward Points: 5000]

He opened the task list, then flipped the phone over and showed Su Cheng the screen:

[High Difficulty Side Mission Refresh: Retrieve the Lost Soul Locking Altar]

[Completion: 33%]

Su Cheng was stunned: "Yes, the high-difficulty branch... In other words, if you complete it, you will die!"

Wen Jianyan nodded: "That's right."

After all, he has completely played the ultimate main quest of the two dungeons, and he has also slowly "find" some unspoken rules in the Nightmare live broadcast - the degree of freedom in the dungeon is very high, the anchor can choose the same route at will, and the obtained The rewards are also the same, and the ultimate main line of the entire dungeon is the most difficult and most dangerous, and often requires a very high degree of plot offset to open.

The difficult branch line is often related to the ultimate main line.

Wen Jianyan put away her phone and slowly concluded:

"Okay, in that case, the next course of action is basically determined."

"Let the other anchors and the liar-full of aunts deceive me, and we will mix it up, and the main line will definitely be delayed for the difficult task."

He reached out and patted Su Cheng's shoulder, and said solemnly:

"Everything is based on life."

Gou to the copy time limit is victory!

Wen Jianyan knew how much he weighed.

He was the type who would fight everything for truth or profit, and his luck after entering the dungeon became extremely bad. Even just solving the main line on his own card took great effort, let alone actively explore. A more difficult and terrifying final storyline.

In addition, Wen Jianyan was originally because the first two dungeons were too good, which caused him to be a d-level anchor with a slow talent reading, low system store openness, and basic points. It was thrown into the b-level copy.

If he accidentally bumped into the ultimate mainline again this time, he can be sure that he can survive the next instance.

Therefore, although some conclusions that may be close to the truth of the copy have been deduced now, Wen Jianyan is not ready to follow up.

- Nothing is more important than your own life.

More importantly, the remaining points in Wen Jianyan's account are enough for him and Su Cheng to survive the remaining time of the copy, and it is enough to deal with the main line of death on the copy card from time to time.

When the two work together, it should be difficult to solve these tasks.

He looked at Su Cheng:

"Okay, what's your main quest?"

Su Cheng glanced down at the phone screen: "Find a host other than you and me within an hour."

"This task is difficult." Wen Jianyan thought for a while: "Even if we stay in this room, we can complete it, and maybe we should come to the door soon."

Su Cheng was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Wen Jianyan glanced at him: "Do you remember? The guiding hand."

This item can point out the location of a hidden item to the anchor. As the anchor level increases, the level that the guiding hand can point out can also increase.

Since the Soul Locking Altar is a hidden item, other streamers can find it by activating the props.

"Well, we'd be in danger."

Wen Jianyan said in a deep groan.

After all, the competitive relationship between the anchors has been formed, and those anchors have far more points and item reserves than them. If there is a conflict, they must be at a loss.

Wen Jianyan's hope of survival rests on the kindness of her heart.

More importantly, although he is not ready to take the risk to unlock the main line, since these props have already entered his pocket, they will probably spit them out.

It's okay to be cowardly, but you can't be cowardly without dignity!

Wen Jianyan walked to the door and carefully looked out of 1306.

Compared to before they just entered the door, the corridor looked even weirder. The light, dark red light knew when it had become darker, and the thick and melted blood shrouded the corridor in front of it.

The walls and the ground are curved and concave into a strange arc shape. The corridors of countless other floors are still connected to the 13th floor, but if you look inward, you will find that they are basically distorted into almost arcs. shape.

Su Cheng stared at Wen Jianyan's back: "You mean..."

The young man standing at the door turned his head and looked over. The blood-red light fell into the bottom of his amber eyes, like a bright fire. He looked at Su Cheng behind him, his plump lips slightly curved into a shallow one. The radian, Qingjun's face is half hidden in the light and shadow:

"Of course you have to take the initiative."

Wen Jianyan had a harmless smile on her face: "I like dealing with the anchors the most."

Su Cheng: "..."

Knowing why, he always had an auspicious premonition.

"Is it almost there?"

asked one of the leading anchors.

He looks very young and tall, but his eyebrows and eyes always have a faint fierceness, and when they look at each other, they always give an invisible chill.

His name is Gao Chengxin, grade C+, he belongs to a top ten club, and he is regarded as a prestigious middle-level.

"It's coming soon, the guiding hand shows that the props are ahead."

Wang Hanyu stared at the red "color" sign in the sky that only he could see, and replied.

Gao Chengxin and his other two companions had a conflict with another team of anchors in 1306, and finally won, and got the Soul Locking altar in 1306. After that, they also fell into the mirror world, and it took almost half a year. It took only an hour to escape from it. Although there was no danger to his life, he also lost the whereabouts of the Soul Locking Altar.

Therefore, although they are the ultimate winners, the Soul Locking Altar is in their hands.

After leaving the mirror, they met Wang Hanyu and Chen Mo. Since they were in a similar situation to each other, the two gangs soon reached a temporary alliance.

Although it is said to be an alliance, but after discovering that there are other anchor teams in this world who also accepted the mission of Wen Po, and after searching for the Soul Locking Altar, everyone realized-

In this book, the anchor and the anchor are pure competitors.

After all, there are only three Soul Locking Altars, but each wants to complete the task.

However, a temporary alliance is also necessary.

With the passage of time, the pattern of the entire world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The corridors on the thirteenth floor have been completely connected end to end, twisted into a huge circle, and the rest of the corridors have also been the same. They are connected to each other, and the paths are complicated and twisted. An unexpected encounter with the anchors of other teams.

It is precisely because of this that they have a vague concept of the other side's combat power.

In the beginning, there should be at least eight teams in the map, with a difference of two or three in each team.

But as time went on, and after several encounters, the number had dropped sharply compared to the beginning. Some were killed by the same class of anchors, and some were killed by the ghosts. The forest always came down, and the whole picture showed There are only about seventeen or eighteen left now, and the teams that originally only had two or three teams quickly realized the essence of the competitive relationship and began to consciously merge temporarily.

Up to now, it has basically merged into two or three teams.

One of them is on the floor, the other is on the eighth floor, and Gao Chengxin has just arrived on the tenth floor.

After the teams merged, the streamers were temporarily placed at three points on the world map, maintaining a stable stalemate. Although there was no conflict between them, they were always vigilant against each other, although everyone had a guiding hand in their backpacks. , but did not dare to act rashly.

However, Gao Chengxin's team soon held up.

There are five teams in total, three found the Soul Locking Altar of 1306, and two found the Soul Locking Altar of 1304. Logically speaking, they should have been the most collected team of Soul Locking Altar in the entire map. The setting made a trick, which led to all their efforts to make wedding clothes for him, and in the end they became a team that did not even get the Soul Locking Altar.

This really pissed them off.

Therefore, after a simple negotiation, they finally decided to take the initiative. In any case, grab a soul lock altar first!

With the help of the guiding hand, Gao Chengxin's team cautiously approached in that direction.

I was only afraid of disturbing the other side, but was even more worried that actions were too big to attract the attention of the other side, and finally ended up being besieged by the other two teams.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared ahead without warning!

The sound of 'chaotic' footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, like the rapid beat of drums, which made him hold back his fears.

This voice was particularly harsh in the dead silence, and Gao Chengxin suddenly became nervous, stopped at the same time, and subconsciously assumed a fighting stance——

"Wait, wait a minute!"

The anchor's voice sounded extremely panicked: "Attack first, I only have one!"

Gao Chengxin and others noticed that the anchor was indeed the only one and had no other companions.

and……

His voice sounded familiar.

In the next second, Wang Hanyu's pupils shrank, and he stretched out his hand suddenly, holding down Gao Chengxin's tense forearm, preventing his attacking intention: "Wait! I know him!"

Gao Chengxin was taken aback: "Could it be..."

Wang Hanyu nodded: "Yes, it was the anchor who acted with us before and was also pulled into the mirror after finding 1304's Soul Locking Altar."

Then it really does work.

And because of how nostalgic the anchors are.

At this time, more companions means a greater chance of winning, and... although the other party was pulled into the mirror with them, but they did not come out together, then he may learn some other information.

It may be about other teams, or it may be about Soul Locking Altar.

Either way is equally important.

Soon, the anchor ran to the front panting.

After seeing the appearance in front of him, he clearly recognized the teammates he had separated from before, and his eyes widened slightly: "...Yes, it's you! That's great!"

Wang Hanyu stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you alright? We have been worried about you since we separated. Are you in any danger?"

Su Cheng ran a little out of breath.

He nodded breathlessly, stood there for a long time and then said, "Yes... yes."

Wang Hanyu stepped forward, stared straight at him, and asked, "Tell me?"

"You... do you remember the npc that entered the inner world with us?"

Wang Hanyu was taken aback.

Ah, yes, that npc.

It's weird to say, obviously since the 13th floor, that NPC has been acting with them, but he knows why, he is always very impressed with this NPC, the other party is like the edge, although he has been staying in the team, but But since he took the initiative to enter their sight, under the tense environment of the previous link, he almost forgot the existence of such an NPC in the team.

I've seen this npc after entering the inner world. know that it was teleported to somewhere, and I've been separated from them for so long, guess it must have died long ago.

It's a pity that the hard-level hidden item in his hand is now, and now he knows where it fell.

However, before Wang Hanyu felt regretful, he heard Su Cheng suppress his rapid breathing, and slowly said something he didn't expect at all:

"He, he is actually an NPC."

"……what?"

Wang Hanyu's eyes widened slightly, staring at Su Cheng in the distance, with an unbelievable look on his face: "Then he is..."

Su Cheng's face was flushed after exercising, his chest heaving up and down quickly, and he said in a somewhat steady voice:

"He's an anchor."

"He, he has been acting since the very beginning, he came in with Jihui, he knows through what channels, he knows that this dungeon will have this kind of competition, so he lurks on our side as an NPC. "

All eyes were focused on Su Cheng.

Su Cheng took a deep breath and continued: "I, after I escaped from the mirror, the location was actually not far from 1304, so I went back to the Soul Locking Altar that I obtained. I was going to find you, but before I found you, I first When I met that NPC, he used a trick to lock the soul altar from my hand and cheated him, and he was going to kill me, but I managed to escape in the end..."

Under the watchful eyes of so many anchors, Su Cheng felt up and down in his heart.

He is like Wen Jianyan, the type who changes his face and lies at a meeting. In such a tense situation, it is easy for him to speak upside down because of being overly nervous.

However, Wen Jianyan, as a professional Lie practitioner, quickly came up with a solution.

That is - "run".

Running too fast can make the facial features distorted, the complexion congested, and the breathing will become rapid and uncontrollable. These instinctive physiological phenomena can perfectly cover up the instinctive reaction caused by lies.

And even if other people find that his speech is upside down and logical enough, the first reaction will be that he is lying, but it will be linked to his current physiological state.

Facts have proved that a professional is a professional, and the solutions proposed are really very effective.

"Pass……"

Su Cheng took a deep breath and took out a coin made of yellow paper from his arms: "I got this from him before I escaped."

In the line of sight, the red "color" logo of the Guiding Hand hangs above Su Cheng's head, pointing downwards, indicating the existence of hidden objects.

A flash of heat flashed in front of Wang Hanyu's eyes, and he took a step forward subconsciously.

Difficult Hidden Objects!

But Su Cheng put the coins back into his pocket, and then said, "According to what I know, their team's progress is the fastest, and now they have got two soul lock altars."

What?

Have you collected two of the three?

Gao Chengxin's eyes twitched, and his expression became solemn and serious.

This is a key news that can break the balance of the whole situation! You must know that each team has a mirror that can enter and exit the inner and outer worlds, so as long as which team finds the three soul lock altars first, they can go to Wen Po to hand in the task, and they have no hope.

At this time, he suddenly thought of what the other party just said:

"You said, he came in with the team of his own club? Do you know which club he is from?"

Su Cheng barely maintained his superficial calm, and slowly spit out two words: "Dark fire."

On the other side, the young man with amber eyes stood under the dark red light. The black pottery jar in his palm made his fingers more slender and his skin fair.

"...Yes, if they get this jar again, the mission will be completed."

His eyes narrowed slightly, his long and dense eyelashes covered the shimmering light in the bottom of his eyes, and there was a trace of bewitchment and inducement in his voice, and he said in a low voice in the deep corridor:

"We can make this happen, right?"
