Chapter 120: "Is this the illusion he wants me to see?"
Chapter 120: "Is this the illusion he wants me to see?"
"What?" Wuji Gu actually felt that this unfolding is not very surprising, others can be the villain boss can not have this strength, but still polite show surprised look.
"There are two kinds of people who enter this institute, those who can hear the mermaid's voice, and those who cannot. And there is no rule, the first one to hear the voice, is Aona Fei."
Hearing the brown-haired woman mention Aona Fei, Wuji Gu couldn't help but secretly pay attention.
The brown-haired woman spoke: "can hear the voice of the natural at first are very happy, to think that they are the Chosen One, to be able to communicate with this legendary creature that exists only in the Institute's status have also risen ...... and I am no exception."
"So that's how it is." Wuji Gu probably realized why they people who just suspected not to hear the voice were so despised and regarded as cannon fodder that didn't even matter if they were sent to be fodder.
"But with the passage of time, the voices in our heads are increasingly noisy and bizarre, making it difficult to sleep, and often hallucinate." The brown-haired woman said, "just do nothing, to be affected by the voices in the mind of the crazy, as if there are countless people talking in your ears ......"
"There is no relief from this condition, and after the condition deepens, even leaving here will only make the symptoms more intense. Those who left were found dead on the road, and died with a relieved smile on their faces."
The brown-haired woman said, speaking with increasing urgency, "The person who has a hallucination is like being cursed by him, and there isn't even any way to deal with him yet. How about dying in a hallucination instead or our relief."
"But even so, maybe this is all his revenge." Wuji Gu opened his mouth, and this is what puzzled him the most, "After all, it was captured here by humans, can not be said to be captured on purpose, right."
"No, he can kill all of us here and leave here in a moment if he wants to, his power is simply not something that humans can fight against. From the very beginning, he came here to find someone." The brown-haired woman's face went white, and her voice carried a few tremors, "The reason you all came here is also because of this matter. If he is the monster, you are the chosen sacrifices."
"Looking for someone?"
But right after Wuji Gu's question, footsteps came from outside, as if someone was about to enter the place.
The brown-haired woman's face was instantly hard to see, she put down the glass in her hand and came up to Wuji Gu's ear and said urgently, "If you want to leave, you have to seize the opportunity tomorrow, when someone will come in through another place to send some supplies, you can escape with them."
"Why do you want to help me so much?" Even if Wuji Gu believed that there is true love on earth, the other party revealed too much information with him this time.
"I just, don't want him to make any more mistakes."
At the end of the sentence, the brown-haired woman turned around and hurriedly left the place through the door on the other side.
"Wait--" Wuji Gu chased after him, but after opening the door, he saw nothing.
Even behind this door is just a warehouse, there is no other exit at all.
Wuji Gu turned his head again and there was no trace of the wine glass that had been placed on the table, as if it had never been there. He immediately fell into silence, using his years of experience with ghosts, and immediately understood that the brown-haired woman he met was probably a female ghost from the beginning.
"Who is the he that she refers to at the end of her sentence?"
No matter how you think about it, Wuji Gu doesn't think it refers to the mermaid.
At this time, the door here was finally pushed open, and in came the other players, Yuanzhou Lu was also in the group, and used his eyes to hint Wuji Gu not to act rashly.
Wuji Gu noticed that the number of people who came in was one or two less than the number of players before, so someone must have died in this copy ......
When the crowd came in, a player who was in the group codenamed Falcon said he had something to say. He was the boss of the male player Wuji Gu had met earlier when he was feeding the mermaids, and was said to be very famous, although Wuji Gu had never heard of this person.
But the crowd has vaguely heard that this person has a bad reputation, once several times together the team were reunited, can not help but let people's hearts some concern.
"We have also entered this copy for two days of work, everyone has almost investigated it." Falcon opened his mouth, "Things have become clear to our goal."
The rest of the people with a scornful look on their faces, originally according to the attitude at the beginning they were never going to have any too deep contact with each other. But at this time, considering that the falcon estimated to know what they do not know, and did not refute, are nodded.
Only Wuji Gu, still in a state of confusion, inquired, "What is our goal?"
The people around fell into silence, several people looked over in surprise, did not expect him to say such things, apparently the Wuji Gu has been really regarded as a vase.
The two people who had contact with Wuji Gu looked subtle, they both knew that Wuji Gu was a really powerful person, which can only be said that the big man has a personality, right?
The falcon himself did not expect anyone to ask, looking at Wuji Gu's eyes as if he was looking at some schoolboy, and then gestured with his eyes to the male player's little brother on the side, it is impossible for him to let a boss like him to explain himself.
That little brother immediately explained, "You were just not in may not know the situation. A lot of things happened today, and the people of the Institute were not interested in continuing their work, so they let us come back first. Seizing this opportunity, just now the boss hypnotized an NPC, and the other party spilled out everything he knew."
Speaking of which, the little brother's face are showing a look of pride with the glory, feeling that they really hug the thighs hug too reliable.
The most famous thing about Falcon is his ability to hypnotize, as long as there are npc's present in the copy, he can basically rely on this ability to quickly set the news, so that the crowd is very envious.
Other players also have more or less their own means, they have learned a lot of news when they were sent to play for the researchers, but at this time are not possible to say casually is.
What the minion said next was pretty much what Wuji Gu knew from the brown-haired woman, but then it was different. The NPC seemed inclined to think that the mermaid was taking revenge on everyone in this institute and was going to torture everyone to death.
But Aona Fei is the study of how to make the mermaid calm down, hear the mermaid's voice the clearer the person, it means the stronger the suitability and mermaid, but also will appear to hallucinate more quickly. Kill such a person as a sacrifice to the mermaid, you can make the mermaid sleep for a while.
Of course how could the people of their institute be willing to sacrifice themselves, so in addition to those who have gone insane and committed suicide, there will be a need for others to maintain the stability of the place.
These players were chosen for this reason, but it is said that with the passage of time, these offerings are no longer enough to put the mermaid to sleep and he is about to wake up from his slumber.
The people of the Institute are getting more and more anxious, and it is said that as long as they find the person who has reached the highest suitability with the mermaid, they will be able to completely solve the curse of the people in their Institute.
"So that's how it is." All the people nodded, and their faces were all quite grave.
"It is said that the deadline is tomorrow night, and if the man is not found by then, a mutation may occur in this institute."
Everyone is an experienced player, it is very clear that in this kind of copy once there is some kind of deadline, that probably means, in the time if they have not been able to solve the copy, they will all die here.
"At first glance it would seem that this copy is not very dangerous, after all, most of the time you just have to fight against illusions. There aren't even too many ghosts." The junior continued, "But it's clear that the illusion has been strengthening in the two short days we've been in here, and even if there are no mutations in the Institute, if we don't solve it as soon as possible within tomorrow, death awaits us."
"Of course, those players who can't hear the sound seem to be much safer. But according to the NPC account, those who could not hear the sound were instead the fastest to die suddenly in the Institute, and no one even knew how they died."
It is more frightening than the ghosts that are traceable, the hallucinations in this copy that make people completely confused as to how to solve them. The people present have more or less experienced the illusion that the player almost drowned in the bathroom yesterday, and if they didn't have props in their possession, they wouldn't be here by now.
"Is it hard to say that we have to choose someone from the Players to go out and sacrifice?" A man said with an ugly face.
"Of course not." That little brother hastily spoke, "We are just players anyway, as long as we find out the final secret hidden in this copy by tomorrow, we can just leave, and then what do we care about the illusion, let the people of this institute suffer by themselves."
Little brother said here. Falcon, who has been pretending since just now, finally said, "Now, I have a clue about the truth of this copy."
Once these words came out, they finally managed to shock everyone.
"I know that everyone came here with the purpose of obtaining the same thing." Falcon continued, "But compared to the opportunity to enter the organization, obviously it is life that is more important, you just need to listen to my arrangements, we can definitely leave alive, but that thing must belong to me."
Other faces show hesitation, after all, the situation is not too critical at this time, for these messages and give up the opportunity to enter the organization for them is really a bit uneconomical.
Yuanzhou Lu's face is the most ugly, he and this falcon has not been dealing with, if the situation now as the falcon said, then the other side will not let go of the opportunity to deal with him.
"It doesn't matter if you guys don't believe now." Falcon looked confident and also sneered at Yuanzhou Lu, "When you have seen everything after tonight, you will naturally choose to cooperate with me tomorrow."
The rest of the people have different thoughts in their minds, their hearts are full of thoughts, their mouths are nothing to mention, they have dispersed.
Yuanzhou Lu seemed to come over to Wuji Gu unintentionally and asked him how he was doing.
Wuji Gu probably told what happened to him, and the mermaid and the visions he saw were not hidden, "It seems that most of what Falcon said should be true."
Yuanzhou Lu frowned, he also put the female ghost secretly, let it inquire about the news, learned something is not bad, "we know enough things have been, but still did not complete the main task ...... what exactly is missing. "
"Perhaps, we need to know more not about the mermaids, but about the people here." Wuji Gu thought about it, after all, there are so many NPCs in this copy, and it's very concerning.
And in that hallucination, he always felt he saw something that mattered, but couldn't quite remember what it was. He only thought it had something to do with Aona Fei.
"It would be great if that Falcon could really get people out of this copy safely, but from what I know about him, he just wants to use us as cannon fodder, which is what happened in the previous copy." Yuanzhou Lu frowned and said, "Of course he opened his mouth so convincingly, we still have to be careful tonight."
"Hmm." Wuji Gu nodded, he also felt that this evening was not expected to be calm.
But remembering the hallucination he saw, Wuji Gu was vaguely suspicious. He always felt that the mermaid that appeared in the illusion, should not be terrifying to get everyone here to death existence, instead, the other party gave him a kind of friendly feeling ......
Is that really a terrifying villain boss that will endanger everyone's life once they wake up?
Just then, the people in the Institute have also come to eat dinner, all of them do not look very good, the events of the day made them all heart and strength.
Wuji Gu again tried to find a female researcher to ask, of course at this point he used his acting skills again, will be an eager to know the answer to the question, in a gentle and at the same time let the heart to love the beautiful man feeling played out.
Yuanzhou Lu was stunned and felt that Wuji Gu was not the same person as usual when he was asking questions.
Originally, the other party was very impatient, but after seeing Wuji Gu's face, feeling such a handsome man so sincere to ask their questions, the heart is still very pleasant, the attitude is a change, "If it is something that has nothing to do with confidential things, it does not matter to tell you."
Yuanzhou Lu next to him was silent at this sight, he was also quite handsome! How come no NPCs are so friendly to him, is it because he doesn't look as sincere as Wuji Gu?
Yuanzhou Lu began to doubt life.
"Of course it has nothing to do with confidential matters, but I'm still curious about Director Aona Fei." Wuji Gu asked. Wuji Gu asked, thinking that there must be something wrong with that Aona Fei director.
"Ah, after all, Aona Fei director personality is rather special, will make people curious is also very natural." The researcher said, "Although he seems to be very scattered, he is actually very reliable, if not for the accident with his fiance ......"
"Hmm?"
The researcher sighed, "That was before, that fiance was also a member of our institute, but was tragically killed in some accident. After that Director Aona Fei became what she is now, considering the research of this institute as the most important thing ......"
Wuji Gu nodded, "So that's how it is." He already had a vague premonition.
The brown-haired woman he met may be the fiance of this Aona Fei director ......
"If you meet him, don't mention this, Director Aona Fei will be very sad, right?"
"Sure." Wuji Gu nodded.
After eating, Wuji Gu and Yuanzhou Lu went around the institute again. The conditions here are really quite good, but there is an extremely strong Yin Qi lingering around.
Giving a feeling that a lot of people have died here, so Wuji Gu can not help but frown, from the beginning of this place gave him such a strange feeling, here the ghosts are simply too many to the degree of abnormal.
Perhaps the danger of this copy lies not only in the mermaid's ability, but also in something they were not aware of.
Wuji Gu looked for an opportunity to go to the unmonitored restroom, where he was ready to summon a ghost to come out and ask questions, but bizarrely, he could not feel the presence of ghosts around him.
"What's going on?" Wuji Gu was somewhat puzzled.
This place is certainly impossible without ghosts, but actually can not be summoned, is it just like other copies before, the ghosts of this place is also a whole?
But the ghost in the pool is casually purified, this means is this copy of a ghost is also divided into two types ......
"Forget it, we should know the truth of the matter by then." Wuji Gu gave up thinking and left the restroom.
Yuanzhou Lu outside with worry on his face, he saw Wuji Gu to go to the toilet to go so long are worried about whether there is a ghost inside, almost broke into the door, but in Wuji Gu came out in time to avoid Yuanzhou Lu wind comment was harmed.
The two arrived at the library within the Institute. The data room, of course, they do not have access to, but the library is fine, and it's all books anyway, so it should be similar.
With such a casual mindset the two came in and the library manager sat over there and swept them a cold glance, followed by not saying a word.
Yuanzhou Lu all want to spit this attitude, they are these people but come in to die, before death do not give a good look?
Wuji Gu found that the variety of books in this library is quite rich, there are also a lot of fairy tales, are not sure who it is for ...... his hand fell on one of the daughters of the sea illustrated book, his mind remembered the system tips, immediately took it out.
At the same time, his mind seems to be steeped in song, in this instant as if there are seawater flowing past his side ......
The manager's voice rang out abruptly, "What are you doing?"
Wuji Gu immediately snapped out of that state and took the book in his hand, "I just want to borrow this book to go back and look at it."
"Then come and register." When the manager saw the book in Wuji Gu's hand, a few moments of surprise appeared in his eyes, then he tried his best to disguise himself as calm and said.
Yuanzhou Lu came out and couldn't help but spit out the attitude of that manager, and saw the book in Wuji Gu's hand, "Do you think this will be related to this copy?"
"Maybe." Wuji Gu said.
Two people found a quiet place, seriously delving into this picture book, the next person to see two big men so seriously look at such children's picture books expressions are a little subtle.
The content of the book is exactly the same as Wuji Gu's Daughter of the Sea, but written in a much more abbreviated form to make it easier for children to understand.
Yuanzhou Lu couldn't help but sigh, "If only the boss of our copy was as kind as that mermaid of theirs."
"In that case this copy will not appear at all." Wuji Gu said.
"That's true." Yuanzhou Lu said.
Wuji Gu put the illustrated book away, and although he didn't see anything now, the illusion he just felt when he got it should not be an illusion.
............
......
That night, Wuji Gu lay in bed and tried to read a book, but fell asleep, just like yesterday, in the middle of a song, and dreamed once again.
This time he is located in the boat above the sea, the surrounding environment is dim to the extreme, the sky's dark clouds cover the sky, the storm makes the sea roll up huge waves, giving a person an extremely shocking feeling.
The next moment, along with a monstrous wave, he was directly knocked into the water, struggling up in the seawater, but his body was completely unable to resist this terrifying force of nature.
In such a situation, Wuji Gu's ears were ringing clearer and clearer, as if the song was ringing behind him.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw the silver hair that had drifted to his eyes, and the beautiful golden eyes.
"What the hell are you ......"
Before Wuji Gu's words were out of his mouth, the image in front of him changed abruptly.
He arrived at the Institute, and standing in front of him was Director Aona Fei, in what appeared to be Director Aona Fei's room.
The other party was not aware of his presence, but was in the room working on his work.
Wuji Gu turned his head to see a group photo sitting on the bed, and there was no doubt that the woman appearing on it was the same brown-haired woman he had seen earlier.
"Is this the illusion he wants me to see?"
Wuji Gu walked slowly to the side where he could clearly see what Director Aona Fei was doing at that moment.
The image in front of me is so real that it even makes Wuji Gu feel like he has traveled to a certain time period and not in a dream.
It didn't take long for Wuji Gu's eyes to widen.
............
......
Day 2.
When Yuanzhou Lu woke up, everyone else was already outside.
Everyone's face is ugly to the extreme, yesterday their ears ringing song has reached the level of a terrible noise, even as if countless ghosts in the ears murmuring.
The effect was so terrible that almost everyone didn't get any sleep.
As for the players who couldn't hear the song yesterday, one was even found already dead in bed, with a painful look on his face and his hands still pinching his neck, making it hard to imagine what happened to him last night ...... but what can be imagined is that it must have been something extremely terrible.
But in contrast, Falcon and two of his men looked like they were sleeping comfortably, and looked quite relaxed.
Immediately a few players who could not see the illusion rushed over and had the idea of showing their goodwill to it, they really did not want to die like that person just like that unexplained in bed.
Yuanzhou Lu's complexion was also grim. Although he was fine, when he woke up, he noticed that he was lying near the door, as if his body had been out of control while he was in a daze.
Even if you ask the female ghost you put out to spy, the other party just shook her head and said nothing had happened.
That female ghost does not have its own consciousness, everything is acting on instinct, since she did not see anything ...... proves that there is indeed no other ghosts in this room, everything is his body acting on its own.
"What the hell is going on ...... am I going to survive the night?"
"It seems that you all have been in danger." Falcon smiled and spoke, "Now you know, only I am the most trustworthy person here."
"Yes, look who else can sleep more soundly than my boss!" The little brother next to him spoke proudly.
Just when all kinds of intentions in the hearts of the people, all can not help but want to defect to the falcon -
Wuji Gu room door opened, he is also a leisurely look, as if nothing from it came out, and even the spirit looks better than the falcon them, on the kind of as if this copy does not affect him at all, just like that a sleep until dawn feeling.
"......"
The crowd immediately fell into silence, and Falcon's little brother opened his mouth wide, as if he had just realized what he had said was not good.
He had seen with his own eyes how Wuji Gu fought with those agitated mermaids! How can a person with such mental qualities not sleep well!
