Chapter 76: Evil God (Thirty-Eight)
I don't know when the lights in the room went out, and I could only see the scene in the room by the faint moonlight.
Qiao Yuan's gaze fell behind Fu Xiuzhu.
Because of the search for the infant spirit and the coaxing of the infant spirit, it was already night. Qiao Yuan still remembers that the moonlight poured into the classroom through the window, outlining everyone's shadows on the wall. Qiao Yuan also observed carefully at that time, and everyone's shadows were very normal. She felt a little disappointed at the time.
However, at this moment, there was no shadow behind Fu Xiuzhu.
No.
Qiao Yuan quickly realized that he was wrong. There was not no shadow behind Fu Xiuzhu. On the contrary, the entire room was filled with his shadow, which blocked the light. The only remaining moonlight in the room was about to be swallowed up.
When she looked behind him, an inexplicable chill spread from the bottom of her heart. She felt like she was standing on the edge of an abyss, and all she could see was a chaotic darkness, which aroused the most primitive fear and dark side of people's hearts.
Qiao Yuan didn't even need to recall Liu Ke's description to be sure that Fu Xiuzhu in front of him was the evil god. Although he seemed to be restrained, the fear of nothingness that arose from the bottom of his heart was probably something that only a "god" could do.
Fortunately, Fu Xiuzhu's attention was on Yu Ruzhou at this time. Before the other party looked over, she quickly turned around and ran to the other side of the passage, calling the system in her heart: "System, I want to fill in the answer!"
The system's cold mechanical voice rang in Qiao Yuan's ears: [I'm here.]
【You have one more chance to answer the question. 】
Qiao Yuan certainly knew this, which was why she had been cautious and not answered any questions.
Qiao Yuan: "I have seen it with my own eyes. He is Fu Xiuzhu."
Even though she was about to run out of the passage, she still remembered the feeling at that time.
At this time, Qiao Yuan had already run out of the passage and returned to the tree under the teaching building.
She also saw Song Yanchi walking towards her in a hurry, his lips opening and closing as if he was saying something to her. There was also Lin Xi not far away, who for some reason did not leave and was still peeking over here.
But the world seemed to be silent at this moment, and the only thing left in her ears was the emotionless words of the system: [Sorry, your answer is wrong.]
Qiao Yuan: ???
How is that possible?
She had clearly seen it all with her own eyes, and although she had overstrained her eyes after entering the dungeon, she was not so nearsighted that she couldn't see anything clearly.
I didn't stay up late last night, so the possibility of hallucinations is very small...
But the system now tells her that her answer is wrong?
As if it knew what Qiao Yuan was thinking, the system repeated: [He is not Fu Xiuzhu now.]
Qiao Yuan noticed that the system used the word "now" and realized something.
...Wait, this can't be what she thinks?
However, now is not the time for Qiao Yuan to think about this. Her last chance to answer the question has been used up, which also means that her mission has failed.
She is going to die.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Qiao Yuan immediately said to the system: "Wait, we have known each other for such a long time and you have not expressed anything. Can I answer two questions and get one free now?"
System: [Question answering opportunities do not participate in promotional activities. 】
Qiao Yuan said without giving up: "It's not too late to participate now..."
System: [But I can make a deal with you. ]
[If you can give me 50 million health points, I can give you another chance to answer the question. ]
In Qiao Yuan's current situation, she did not refuse the terms of the deal, but this did not prevent her from wondering: "What do you want the life points for?"
Isn't this life value the equivalent of game currency set by Him? What's the point of the system recycling so much?
System: [Once entering this instance, the player's death rate remains high, reaching 100%.]
It seems that these are not the first time players to enter this kind of copy.
When she heard that the death toll remained high, Qiao Yuan nodded in agreement. After all, she had watched the number of people in the group drop from several thousand at the beginning to less than a few hundred now.
Until you hear 100%.
Qiao Yuan paused and said, "... Is this instance called No One Survives?"
This can no longer be described as remaining high; the mortality rate has reached its peak.
Qiao Yuan didn't know the name of this dungeon after all, because the system immediately said: [In order to change this situation, the headquarters wants to absorb more health points for players who enter similar dungeons later to increase their survival rate.]
[We have had this idea in the past, but this time we see the possibility in you. ]
Qiao Yuan used to think that the game and the system were hoping for the players’ death, but now it seems that is not the case. At least they are now trying hard to find a solution.
She agreed to the deal; after all, she really needed a third chance to answer the question.
The final transaction time was set within three days, and Qiao Yuan could not disclose it to other players.
For Qiao Yuan, this is not something that is possible, but something that must be done.
When Qiao Yuan was discussing with the system in his mind, it seemed like a brief daze in the eyes of others. Song Yanchi and Lin Xi did not doubt it. After all, they were also in a trance for a moment when they walked out of the passage.
Song Yanchi originally wanted to clear the way for Qiao Yuan, but when he turned around he found that Qiao Yuan did not follow him out, but Lin Xi and Zhang Ying followed him out instead.
However, the passage was one-way, and when he wanted to enter again, it was as if there was an invisible wall blocking him from entering. Even props could not break it. Song Yanchi could only pace around the door anxiously, and almost made Lin Xi, who was waiting not far away, dizzy.
Lin Xi had also heard about Song Yanchi's difficult personality, so he kept his complaints to himself, hoping that Qiao Yuan would come out soon and stop this gyroscope from spinning.
Fortunately, Qiao Yuan walked out of the passage quickly and did not seem to be injured.
The most important thing is that Yu Ruzhou and Fu Xiuzhu, who had been following Qiao Yuan, are nowhere to be seen.
Is he dead?
This can be considered a double blessing.
Song Yanchi thought to himself, unable to hide his excitement.
If it weren't for Qiao Yuan, he wouldn't bother to pay too much attention to these two people, but these two people always get close to Qiao Yuan, and one of them even has bad intentions towards her.
Unfortunately, he was the only one who thought so. Lin Xi, who was also waiting at the side, had already asked Qiao Yuan: "Where is Fu Xiuzhu?"
As soon as he left the passage, Zhang Ying left without stopping, probably because he was quite stimulated by this mission. Lin Xi actually wanted to leave, but then he thought of Fu Xiuzhu and stopped abruptly.
Now that both of her teammates are dead and Zhang Ying is obviously not someone she can rely on, Lin Xi can only look for someone else who can be a partner. Fu Xiuzhu is one of her targets.
I originally thought that after Qiao Yuan came out, Fu Xiuzhu and Yu Ruzhou should follow closely. Unexpectedly, after a few minutes, the two had not come out yet. This was absolutely impossible before.
After all, these two people seemed to be eager to stick to Qiao Yuan. She thought that these three people should have come out one after another. Could it be that they were arguing over who was following Qiao Yuan?
Although it is outrageous, it is very likely something Fu Xiuzhu and Yu Ruzhou could do.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help but ask out loud.
However, it was not Qiao Yuan who answered her, but a pleasant male voice: "The infant spirit suddenly attacked, I escaped, but he didn't."
Everyone turned and looked in the direction where the voice came from. Yu Ruzhou was walking out of the passage. His long eyelashes trembled with his breathing, and his delicate profile looked a little pale. His clothes were still stained with blood, and the wound on his palm was still dripping with blood, which was winding down his palm.
As if to confirm his words, after Yu Ruzhou stepped out of the passage, the passage that had been open was closed the next moment.
It took less than ten minutes from the time the channel was opened to the time it was closed. The winning team took half an hour to leave, so we can rule out the issue of time limit. The only remaining possibility is that the channel determined that it was impossible for anyone else to get out.
"What?!" Lin Xi cried out subconsciously when she heard Yu Ruozhou's words. She had seen Fu Xiuzhu's performance along the way. At least he looked better than her and Zhang Ying. Besides, hadn't the baby spirit behaved well in Fu Xiuzhu's arms before? Why did he suddenly attack?
Song Yanchi also frowned slightly, the joy of losing a pair of loved ones fell apart with the appearance of Yu Ruzhou.
If one person died, he still hoped that person was Yu Ruozhou, after all, the threat he posed was much greater than Fu Xiuzhu. After knowing that Yu Ruozhou was number one, he was more inclined to believe that Yu Ruozhou had done something to kill Fu Xiuzhu.
Yu Ruozhou naturally felt everyone's gaze on him, and continued to explain: "Didn't the infant spirit scratch him before?"
That's true.
After hearing Yu Ruozhou's words, Lin Xi also remembered this incident. Besides, infant spirits are ghosts anyway, so it's normal for them to suddenly change their expressions. While she was regretting the fall of a possible backer, she couldn't help but be glad that she left early, otherwise she would be the one attacked by the infant spirit.
Even Fu Xiuzhu couldn't escape, so she was afraid it would be even worse.
The two were not surprised by Yu Ruozhou's attitude towards Fu Xiuzhu's death. After staying in the dungeon for a long time, except for the death of a close companion, the death of others could not arouse the touch in everyone's heart. In fact, because too many , everyone no longer felt grief for the loss of a rabbit or the loss of a tooth.
What's more, the relationship between Yu Ruzhou and Fu Xiuzhu didn't seem to be very good along the way, and could almost be described as tit-for-tat.
Therefore, if Yu Ruozhou made the final move, Lin Xi would not even find it too strange. However, not to mention that this was just her guess, now that Fu Xiuzhu was dead, she would not risk offending Yu Ruozhou for Fu Xiuzhu and speak out rashly.
She thought that since Yu Ruzhou was able to come out, it meant that he was stronger than Fu Xiuzhu, so maybe she should change her target.
However, although Yu Ruzhou's explanation seemed to be addressed to everyone, his gaze fell only on Qiao Yuan, who had been silent since just now.
As if he had sensed Yu Ruzhou's gaze on him, Qiao Yuan raised his eyes and looked over, a little smile spreading across his brows: "It doesn't matter, as long as you're alive."
The tips of Yu Ruozhou's ears turned red.
