The third start of the nightmare.

The taskers all stood in shock and panted.

Just now, the man in black who sneered, rushed towards them with a machete. In the next second, he started to hack and kill on the promenade.

In the first round of nightmares, the few taskers who were killed by the man in black almost collapsed all at once. They were killed once in the dark, and now they were killed a second time in bright light.

Before Ringo had time to make a move, someone died on the long corridor covered with blood and stumps.

After that, the nightmare restarted instantly.

The only thing to be thankful for is that before anyone dies, the youngest and Mu Jiashi have agreed that the next round of Mu Jiashi will try to help hold the man in black and buy time for the bedroom.

At this time, the nightmare restarted, and a "report the number" blasted in their ears again. The third child said "1" without hesitation, and waited nervously for the result-fortunately, one is 1.

It seems that at least the law of reporting numbers will not change with the restart of the nightmare. This is probably good news.

The third child let out a long sigh of relief. In the darkness, he was a little nervous. I don't know if the man in black will suddenly appear. This is the third time the nightmare has started, and no one knows if the nightmare will collapse inexplicably.

According to general experience, most nightmares start to change or worsen for the first time after they are opened for the third time.

Therefore, the vast majority of taskers choose to pass the nightmare between the third and the sixth time. If the level cannot be cleared after this, then the nightmare is likely to collapse to an irreparable point.

Of course, there will also be taskers who choose to seek wealth and wealth. After all, the more you get to the back, the more information the nightmare reveals, and the more likely it is to get through the true ending.

Some prudent taskers may choose the ordinary ending to end in a bland way during the first few nightmares.

The third child thought nervously, there was one minute left--no, he knew the second number too, so there were two minutes left--he didn't know the third number, so he could only guess...

His thoughts suddenly changed. He thought of the scene in the room he saw just now when the man in black rushed out of the room.

A woman, **** and bloody, was lying on the bed—this is the one beside them, the bed.

The woman... the man in black killed the woman.

what does that mean?

What is their relationship? Why kill her? What does this have to do with promenades, highways, and service areas?

And... the owner of the nightmare is a little boy.

The most direct possibility is...

As the third child was thinking, someone approached gently and asked in a low voice, "Well...the third number, what are we talking about?"

The third child was taken aback, and then calmed down.

The person who got here was Ding Yi.

He said: "I can only make a trial and error."

"You said before, one, two, three, four, five, of which one, two, four corresponds to 124, then three and five..."

The third child said: "It is wrong to report 3 in the previous three, so you have to start from 5."

Ding Yi hesitated for a while and asked, "What if the numbers are repeated?"

The third child was startled.

In the live broadcast room, with the question of Ding Yi raised, the audience also fell into sluggishness.

"Yes, what if the numbers are repeated? Now it is very chaotic and irregular, why can't the numbers be repeated?"

"But... grass, let's just say it, if the numbers can be repeated, can this game be played?"

"Leave aside the repetition, there is another problem... For example, they need to report ten numbers in total, but what if a certain number is more than ten, rather than a single digit within ten? Isn't there infinity? Are there endless options?"

"Yeah, who knows how much to report for this number? What if three correspond to thousands of trillions? This example may be a bit exaggerated, but if it is really a big number, should it be one by one? Try?"

"I still think it is impossible for NE to give an unsolvable problem."

That's right.

In the bookstore, Xu Bei couldn't help but nodded when he saw what the big reasoning guy said.

He has experienced a lot of nightmares. The taskers may have died countless times because of the dangers in the nightmares, and they may cry because of the difficulty of solving the puzzle. However, they will never encounter a real death. .

The so-called nightmare has always been traceable.

"Report...number..." Xu Beijin whispered these words softly.

Suddenly, his face changed.

On the other side, the youngest's face changed almost at the same time, and he whispered: "Numbers!"

The second brother leaned against the wall impatiently, and said strangely: "Lao San, what's your nerve?"

"I'm talking about numbers!" The third child was rarely excited. "That little boy, that little boy in the narrow building, he has been chanting a series of numbers!"

Ding Yi was taken aback, and immediately asked: "You mean, that string of numbers is..."

"That's the number we have to report now! It's very possible...The clues of the nightmare can be found in the narrow building!" The youngest said excitedly, and then he was desperate for an instant, "But I didn't remember."

"You said that string of numbers?" The boss suddenly interrupted and asked, "I remember a little bit."

The other three people looked at him instantly.

The boss shrugged: "But I remember three. 127. Because it was the beginning, and the kid said it many times, so I remembered it. Anyway, it's 127..."

The youngest was excited in an instant.

At exactly this time, there was another "reporting number". The third child almost instinctively said the number "7", and hurriedly bit his tongue, calming himself down with pain.

He quickly said: "2!"

Still the correct answer.

He finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"It seems that what you said is right." The second brother patted the boss on the shoulder and said with a smile, "That's good, you have done a good job."

The boss chuckled.

After speaking the second number, the youngest soon continued to think and discussed with Ding Yi.

Now they have four numbers, 1274.

At present, there are no duplicate numbers, which means that they may not consider it for the time being and report the four numbers that have already appeared in the fifth position.

"So, what does the Five Meetings correspond to?"

The third child pondered for a while, and then said, "I really don’t remember the string of numbers that the little boy said. However, it is not a very long string of numbers. The length is definitely less than ten, and they are all single digits. There are ten more. I remember that they are all single-character sounds."

Ding Yi nodded, and then said: "If there is no repetition, then it is a length of seven to ten."

"1274..." The third child murmured, "There is still 3568910..."

"Will there be 0?"

The third child frowned: "If you report the number, there won't be 0, right?"

Ding Yi nodded and didn't argue much. They don't have much time now: "So, five will be reported as 3?"

The youngest hesitated.

No one can make up his mind at this time. Although the number was reported incorrectly this time, the four-person group on the other side of the corridor might be able to help them pass, but...but it is impossible to completely count on that side.

If the possibility of other taskers helping is eliminated, then once they report the wrong number, they will have to face the black man's machete again, which is not a pleasant thing.

Although, it is only the third nightmare. If the people in black really come to chop them, then they should at least survive two rounds of reporting...

"Yes." The old third thought for a while, but then said, "However, we will report in order from now on."

Ding Yi was startled.

The third child said: "The previous five was reported as 5, so this time it will be reported as 3. However, the sixth is still reported as 6, and the seventh... Wait for a while and then consider, but the eight is still reported by 8, and so on. We have to follow the order first. , Try all the numbers in the corresponding positions. What do you think?"

In the end, he still habitually consulted others.

They are now using 12345 to try the five positions of one, two, three, four and five, 35 of which are all wrong, but at least 124 is correct.

In this case, they cannot guarantee that the numbers corresponding to their positions in the next few positions must be wrong.

What if six is ​​six?

Of course, seven is not seven, this is something they already know.

But the only risk is that they don’t know now whether the numbers will repeat...

The third child was a little restless again. He looked at the second brother subconsciously: "Second brother, what do you think?"

The second brother was impatient with the darkness in front of him. Hearing the words, he said briefly: "Just listen to you."

The third child breathed a sigh of relief.

Ding Yi didn't say anything, acquiescing to the third plan.

It seems that the dark bedroom is already on the right track, and the other side...

The other side is very problematic.

Xu Bei looked at the bedroom and discussed the next plan, and then switched his perspective to the promenade. At this moment, he deeply felt that he was actually a director.

In fact, at this time, it was only more than two minutes since the second restart of the nightmare.

In more than two minutes, the promenade group of four was already arguing.

Of course, it's mainly selfish ghosts and dead ghosts arguing.

The selfish ghost scolded Mu Jiashi how could he agree to help the youngest side to block the gun. He really wanted to block it. He was definitely not happy.

Calling a selfish ghost for a dead ghost is a selfish ghost.

But do you really want to be a substitute for the dead ghost? Then he is not happy.

In this way, in the first two minutes of the third nightmare, they kept fighting like this.

Even if the people in black had caught up behind them, they were still arguing.

Mu Jiashi sighed heavily.

When they came to the open space of the parking lot and had to drive to the service area quickly, Mu Jiashi suddenly said, "I will stay."

The other three looked at him at the same time.

"I'll stay." Mu Jiashi repeated.

The selfish ghost snorted and said in amazement: "No? You are not really the Virgin, are you?"

This man who has been listless, looked up at the selfish ghost, his eyes were cold, and he said every word: "In this situation, if we want to leave this nightmare, we must cooperate. Since you are not willing to sacrifice, then I can only sacrifice. Myself. At least, I have the right to sacrifice myself."

Selfish ghosts are stuck.

While looking at Mu Jiashi for the dead ghost, he suddenly felt a chill in his back.

He thought, if Mu Jiashi is really a kind mother, then it would be better. But Mu Jiashi is not. He is just a person whose interests are paramount.

In this situation, it was only selfish ghosts and dead ghosts who didn't want to make sacrifices, and now was not the time to turn their faces, so Mu Jiashi chose to sacrifice himself.

However, if the time comes to turn his face, then he believes that Mu Jiashi will immediately follow the most practical and profit-maximizing plan. As long as he can achieve the goal of the team’s interests in his mind, even if he sells everyone, he There will not be the slightest move.

This is the Virgin?

This **** is someone who is absolutely profit-oriented and can even sell himself.

The dead ghost couldn't help trembling, thinking that in this nightmare, some people were mixed in...It was terrible.

There is always a hidden dragon and a tiger in the narrow building-this is not necessarily a commendatory term. It means that there are still many perverts, lunatics, and mental illnesses. In the narrow building, many people have problems with their three views; death can no longer confine them.

Because you can't die, you can do anything.

Even know a real lunatic for the dead ghost. He pursued the joy of death.

No matter what the nightmare, if you line up with that lunatic, then the taskers can only wait until the lunatic is dead and enjoy the death of the whole nightmare before they can start to do the task well.

At this time, the nightmare has often restarted several times, and the difficulty of clearing the level has also risen sharply.

However, the amazing thing is that although this lunatic pursues endless death in nightmares every time, every nightmare can at least have an ordinary ending, and even occasionally a true ending can appear.

Therefore, there are some missionaries who want to go to higher floors madly, but take the risk and participate in the nightmare of this madman.

But such lunatics are in the minority after all, but they are weird—they are even more numerous.

At least for the moment, I felt a little chill for the dead ghost.

He has not seen this man. Mu Jiashi looks ordinary and has been listless, saying that he is a waste, rubbish, and loser. However, his cold mentality and stance made the dead ghost dare not underestimate him.

Selfish ghosts didn't care so much, he rushed directly to the nearest car.

Mu Jiashi stood at the exit of the corridor and glanced back at the man in black. This time they ran fast, and the people in black were still one or two hundred meters behind them, and it took at least thirty seconds to run over.

Although he was carrying a deterrent machet in his hand, the slowness was really slow.

Mu Jiashi snorted in his heart, then looked back at the rest of the taskers, and couldn't help saying: "I advise you to drive the car close to the highway... Forget it, just do it with you."

He suddenly became discouraged again.

But the selfish ghosts and the dead ghosts listened to him instead and went to a car farther away. After getting in the car, he honked the horn strangely for the dead ghost, poked his head out of the window, and asked loudly, "Big brother?"

Ringo hasn't gotten into the car yet.

He leaned lazily on the wall to the right of the exit and said, "Don't worry about me, I will stay here."

Mu Jiashi looked at him, his expression flattered for a while.

Ringo didn't lift his eyelids: "It's not because of you."

Mu Jiashi: "..."

The mood calmed down instantly.

Ringo touched his chin, and the memory instantly reverted back to the last moment of the previous nightmare.

In that chaotic, bloody, and noisy scene, the youngest and Mu Jiashi agreed to cooperate in the next round, and Ding Yi quietly came to Ringo's side.

In fact, it was precisely because of this that Ringo had not had time to stop the slaughter of the man in black, otherwise, depending on his mood, maybe he would help out.

And the cyan-haired woman walked up to him and whispered, "Big brother, please do me a favor."

Ringo ignored her.

Ding Yi was not discouraged. She said: "I know you are looking for a drink recently..."

Ringo frowned and looked up at her with cold eyes.

"I'm a commodity merchant." Ding Yi seemed to know that Ringo didn't hurt people at will, so she didn't panic at this time. She said, "I am willing to provide you with a batch of drinks you want for free. In an empty house in the narrow building. As long as you help stop the man in black during the next round of nightmares, I will tell you the location of that house."

The empty houses in the narrow buildings can be occupied and used casually, but most people are not in the mood to use them; except for the commodity merchants like Ding Yi.

Ringo hesitated for a moment, then agreed, and added: "Only this time."

He is indeed looking for a drink recently, and the purpose of course is to fight Xu Beijin. His behavior was not concealed, so it didn't surprise Ringo that he was known by a well-connected businessman like Ding Yi.

But he still felt a little annoyed because of Ding Yi's prying eyes on his life.

Therefore, even though he agreed, he did not show any kindness because of Ding Yi's initiative to provide drinks this time.

Because this is just an equivalent exchange.

This is the case for merchants. Even in the narrow building, even if Ding Yi is an introvert and few words, the businessman still has the nature of a businessman.

I have to say that Ding Yi's news network and the use of information are very interesting.

Today, people like Ding Yi, who have a career in the narrow building, have rarely entered nightmares.

It is precisely because of this that Mu Jiashi was so surprised when he saw Ding Yi in this nightmare.

Because they are very dedicated to their lives and value the forces they have built. If accidentally lost in the nightmare of eternal collapse, then they will be wasted all their hard work for many years.

The narrow building does not force the tasker to have a nightmare. In this case, many commodity merchants are naturally cultivating narrow buildings and rarely enter nightmares.

The same is true for Ding Yi.

She hasn't entered a nightmare for at least two or three years. And this time she chose to enter, she must be absolutely sure, not to go to a higher floor, at least to leave the nightmare safely.

Mu Jiashi didn't know why she was so sure before.

But now, seeing Ringo choose to stay at the entrance of the promenade, the puzzled Mu Jiashi couldn't help asking curiously: "Big brother, why did you stay?"

Ringo glanced at him, but gave a reply: "The commodity merchant promised to provide a batch of drinks for free. In exchange, I will stay here."

Mu Jiashi understood in an instant why Ding Yi chose to enter this nightmare.

Because Ringo is here. Not only Ringo is here, but more importantly, Ding Yi has a way to check and balance - even make use of Ringo. Even if this method can only be used once, even if it is possible, Ringo would be annoyed by it, and Ding Yi wanted to try it.

Because……

Does Ding Yi really want to go to a higher floor?

She can choose to find those gold nuggets organization, but that is still not a very safe way. Even the most prestigious gold nuggets can fail.

But Mu Jiashi, the only one who maintained a 100% success rate on the bottom floor, went to a higher floor some time ago.

Ding Yi hesitated again and again, and finally grasped Ringo's opportunity.

As for Ringo as an opportunity, what is his mood...

Well, he is in a bad mood.

He has always been in a bad mood, so now his focus is on the drink provided by Ding Yi, can Xu Bei fight him willingly?

If it can, then everything is fine. Ringo did not hesitate to use his own force to do a little favor.

For so many years, he has indeed done this in the narrow building. Although all the small tasks have been left behind by him, I am afraid that many people remember his favor-if those people are not lost in the nightmare In the words.

It is precisely because of this that, with Ringo's weird character, he can stand in the narrow building and is respected as the "big man" by all taskers. Otherwise, he can't just paddle in the nightmare like this.

Among these taskers, how many people are holding a glimmer of hope, hoping that Ringo will show off at some point and save them all from the nightmare?

Everyone thinks so, including Ding Yi.

However, it seems that Ringo has now agreed to Ding Yi's request, but if this batch of drinks can't make Xu Beijin agree to a fight with him...

Ringo will not tear up the agreement, he will take action against the man in black, but Ding Yi is obviously not pleased by Ringo's side.

In short, all the decision-making power indirectly came to Xu Beijin's hands.

And Xu Beijin...

Xu Beijin...

Xu Beijin: "..."

Wait a minute? !

What did Ringo say?

The commodity merchant promised to provide a batch of drinks free of charge, so Ringo decided to help in this nightmare?

Drink? !

Xu Bei sat expressionlessly behind the bookstore counter, suddenly thinking about a question seriously.

If he had a fight with Ringo in a nightmare, then he should be, okay, resurrected... right?

It just feels painful.

But... how do you say it. What Ringo did really bothered him a bit.

Xu Bei sighed deeply and didn't want to watch the live broadcast room. The audience laughed and teased. Anyway, he could also imagine that he just didn't know how these audiences would arrange his relationship with Ringo.

He chooses not to see.

Feeling depressed, he wanted to take out Dai Wuwei's jellybeans to eat, but he felt empty, and then remembered that the nightmare had restarted, so the bag of white jellybeans was also refreshed.

Xu Beijin: "..."

He sat there peacefully, yawning innocently.

sleepy……

Reluctantly, he lifted his head out of the counter and saw the water dispenser in the corner of the bookstore. So he went to pick up some warm water, took a couple of sips, and when he returned to the counter, a casual glance made him stop suddenly.

"Hey, this is..."

In fact, he always remembered that Dai Wu once said that there were clues about this nightmare in the bookstore.

But after he returned to the bookstore, he did not find out where this so-called clue was.

Until then.

Xu Beijin put the water glass on the counter, dropped his hand and picked up a newspaper on the shelf in front of the counter.
