Lifting his head, he could see a small circular hole in the distance.

It was pitch black underground, except for the faint light of the flashlight, barely illuminating the uneven and slippery well wall next to it.

Wen Jianyan walked forward with one foot deep and one corner shallow.

The area here is larger than imagined, and the dim light of the flashlight is difficult to completely penetrate the darkness, and it is almost impossible to see the road in front of us clearly, and we can only move forward by blindly groping. The air in the well was turbid, and the rotten and damp smell settled at the bottom of the well, making it hard to breathe.

It was so quiet.

It was so quiet, except for the sticky footsteps, Wen Jianyan could almost hear his own heartbeat.

Bang bang, bang bang.

He wasn't very courageous at all. Acting alone really challenged his bottom line.

"Crack."

Suddenly, Wen Jianyan felt that something seemed to be stepped on under his feet, and there was a small, cracking sound.

With a pale face, he froze in place, stood still for a few seconds, and took a few deep breaths.

Then slowly, little by little, he lowered his head and looked down.

The flickering light of the flashlight fell on the ground.

In the wet and soft mud, half of the exposed skull can be seen faintly, the black eye sockets are half buried in the well mud, and there is still a bit of flesh and blood on the bones that has not been rotted clean, with a mess of dirty hair, faintly visible. Under the bright lights, the horror is even more apparent.

"——! "

Although before bowing his head, Wen Jianyan was already mentally prepared.

However, when he actually saw this scene, his heartbeat almost stopped for half a beat.

【Integrity first】Live room:

"Cardiopulmonary Arrest!"

"Damn, this environment is really too depressing, not to mention the anchor, no one can stand it! "

"The anchor really vividly explained what it means to have a pale face."

"After all, it's because I have been acting with my teammates before. I always feel safe, but now I have nothing to rely on. It's miserable."

Wen Jianyan swallowed her saliva, carefully removed her feet from the skull, turned her head around as if guilty of guilt, and whispered:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He just took a step to the side——

The familiar "click" sounded again.

The sound echoed between the narrow walls of the well, making it particularly harsh.

"" Wen Jianyan froze in place again.

【Integrity first】Live room:

"Grass."

"Grass. "

"Although it is very unkind, I still can't help laughing out loud"

Wen Jianyan closed his eyes, turned the light of the flashlight to the maximum level, and then turned pale, changed the angle, and looked around his foothold with the flashlight. Slightly floating pale white light illuminated a small area around his feet.

There are many uneven ups and downs hidden in the wet and soft mud. When you look closely, almost all of them are pale skulls.

one, two, three

The innumerable skulls extended toward the distance, disappearing at the edge of darkness.

Pairs of dark eye sockets looked over and stared at him silently.

""

Wen Jianyan's eyes darkened.

Rui Rui's talent is right.

There was a dead body under the well.

Lots and lots of dead bodies.

He froze for a few seconds, and after saying "I'm not afraid" several times in his heart, he finally calmed down. Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, lowered his head, and carefully observed the skulls immersed in the well mud.

I don't know if it's his illusion

I always feel that these skulls seem to be a little smaller than I remember.

Wen Jianyan bent down, opened his palms, and made comparisons on the surface of one of the skulls.

He quickly came to a conclusion.

That's right, it's not an illusion.

These skulls are indeed much smaller than those of normal adults.

That is to say

A few images flashed through Wen Jianyan's mind.

The classroom is empty and covered with messy graffiti, just at the mouth of the well, the tiny arm that dragged itself into the well.

Are these all the skulls of children?

Wen Jianyan was secretly surprised.

While he was contemplating, suddenly, in the darkness around him, there was the sound of sloshing around. "Hahahaha"

The voice was very soft and low, like the sound of children laughing and playing, echoing between the walls of the well in all directions, it was chilling down the spine.

Wen Jianyan shuddered for a moment, then withdrew her hand abruptly. He turned his head subconsciously, looking for the source of the sound.

Kalinka's weak voice sounded, and the heads under the half-thirsty mud began to move slowly. Accompanied by the sound of the mud pounding from time to time, small blue and white arms stretched out from below, in a slow and sluggish manner. Speed, dragging his almost decomposed corpse out from below.

Rotten faces beyond recognition looked at Wen Jianyan. The corners of the mutilated mouth were raised high, maintaining a stiff and weird smile.

"Hee hee hee"

In the closed and dark environment, all this seemed so terrifying, it was creepy.

Wen Jianyan's scalp went numb and she almost cried out.

The air became more and more bitterly cold, almost making him shiver, with a strong sense of danger approaching.

One after another, the corpses stretched out their hands to the young man in front of them, and walked over slowly and mechanically with black eyes. Everything around was sending the same message to Wen Jianyan: I can't stay here any longer.

The young man's face was pale, with cold sweat on his forehead, his eyes were fixed on the densely packed corpses of children in front of him, he took two steps back in a daze, and then, as if he had just reacted, he held the phone tightly in one hand and turned his head suddenly , Stumbling towards the darkness in the distance.

The darkness stretches endlessly into the distance.

"Hahahaha"

The child seems innocent, but in fact, the eerie and terrifying laughter rang out from behind his head,

Dark, dead, lonely.

Only the pale-faced young man stumbled and fled forward with great difficulty, while behind him was chasing after a dense group of rotting corpses.

【Integrity first】Live room:

"Mom, this is too cheap!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

As if to confirm the speculation of the barrage.

Just hearing a "plop", Wen Jianyan's body suddenly tilted, and his feet stepped into a cold puddle. Suddenly, the familiar system sound sounded again without warning: "Ding! "

"Story offset 29 bonus points 100,000"

He paused and looked down.

The squishy mud disappeared, replaced by a bottomless black pool.

The rancid smell intensified.

The water beach in front of me is bottomless, and the edge and end cannot be seen.

Behind him, the sound of weird laughter and stiff footsteps came closer.

Wen Jianyan's face turned pale. He turned his head and looked behind him.

Countless corpses followed closely, approaching.

Wen Jianyan subconsciously took a step back. In the next second, the water sank almost immediately to his calf.

Wen Jianyan turned her head in horror, as if she hadn't expected that the pool behind her was almost so deep.

Suddenly, the familiar system sound sounded again without warning: "Ding"

"Story offset 42 bonus points 400,000"

[Integrity first] Live broadcast room: "I'm going, did I miss something? Why did the plot offset suddenly increase so much?!" "I don't know! I'll go! This is too sudden! What did the anchor do? !" "Wait, is it because of this water beach? "

"Hey, it's possible! After all, the anchor's first foot stepped into the water beach, and the plot offset started to sound, and the second foot stepped on it, and the offset became even higher!"

Obviously, Wen Jianyan also discovered this.

He turned his head and stared at the pitch-black pool of water behind him, with a look of doubt on his face.

During the period of his hesitation, the countless corpses behind him became closer.

In the dim, sticky darkness like ink, countless pale and rotten smiling faces could be vaguely seen, accompanied by the innocent laughter of children playing, approaching Wen Jianyan step by step.

"Damn it. "Wen Jianyan gritted her teeth and cursed softly. He seemed to have made up his mind.

The pale young man slowly took another step back.

But it was another step, and most of his body was almost half submerged in the water.

In the next second, a vortex appeared in the center of the water surface without warning. The vortex was black and deep, spinning rapidly, and a strong dark force suddenly struck.

"ah"

Wen Jianyan's pupils constricted and he gasped in horror.

Almost as soon as he breathed, the underwater force wrapped around his body, dragging him towards the water forcefully!

"No..."

He barely had time to make a sound, he was dragged away by the irresistible force, and disappeared under the pitch-black water.

[Integrity first] In the live broadcast room:

"? "

"? ? "

"? ? ? "

"What's going on? "

"Wait a minute, look at the whirlpool on the water"

Although Wen Jianyan disappeared under the water, the camera did not follow, but still hovered above the water surface, so the audience in the live broadcast room could see—the vortex above the dark water surface Still spinning slowly, round, almost like

"Does it look like a pupil?"

It is the same as the picture drawn by Rui Rui. The pool in the mouth is like a huge eye, and the energy vortex that dragged Wen Jianyan into it is like the pupil in the eye, dark, empty, deep, staring at it for a moment The space in front of him was extremely strange.

above the well.

The anchors in Wen Jianyan's team stayed in the broken house, sitting or standing, with different postures. The only thing they had in common was the direction of their gaze. Although they stayed in the hut, their gaze always fell on the place outside Above the broken well, always pay attention to the movement in the well.

Only Zhong Shan sat there bored, flipping through his live broadcast room.

Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly cried out:

"Hey! We seem to have overtaken!"

The others were taken aback, and they also clicked on their own live broadcast interface.

Zhong Shan was right.

Under their helpless gaze, the red and black lines representing the turnover began to change. The red square, which was still a little behind the black square, was rising little by little until it was level with the black square, and then—— it.

even higher and higher

Finally, it stopped at a place far beyond black.

"it is true!"

Huang Mao gasped, and could hardly believe his eyes.

"I didn't expect that, the other two teams acted pretty well on their own," Zhong Shan shook his head and said with a smack of tongue, "It's surprising that they can overtake so quickly. If we press down, we just need to maintain our current dominant position."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by two "buzzing".

Chen Mo paused, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

After seeing the content on the phone, he seemed to be taken aback for a moment.

"What's the matter?" Yun Bilan on the side seemed to have noticed something, and asked.

Chen Mo was quiet for a few seconds, and then said, "It's from the other two red teams."

"What did they say?" Huang Mao asked excitedly.

"Congratulations on our high turnover." Chen Mo said in a calm tone.

This time, the audience fell silent.

"Wait a minute,"

Huangmao seemed to realize something was wrong, "They congratulated us? Isn't it a little wrong? It's clearly them—"

Bai Xue, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, took out the black employee handbook from her pocket, opened it casually, and shook it in front of her. In the next second, several scarlet ghost coins caught in the manual slowly fell down, and landed scattered on the open space in front of him. Bai Xue raised those bottomless black eyes, looked at the dumbfounded crowd, and said:

"It's us."

Everyone hurriedly opened their manuals, and sure enough, they also found the same amount of ghost coins.

Different from yesterday, on this day, everyone's "turnover" was issued according to the team yesterday, but on this day, with the new attachment conditions taking effect, that is, the ten anchors with the highest "turnover" are eligible to enter the third place. day dinner.

The income has also changed from "distributed by team" to "distributed by person".

Therefore, when a team completes a certain task, their turnover will double with the number of people. Whether it is overtaking or falling behind, it will become easier.

After seeing the ghost coin appearing in front of each other, everyone obviously realized this, and their spirits lifted.

"It's the captain!"

Huangmao shouted.

He couldn't hide the excitement on his face, "It was the captain who completed the real commission from the 408 residents and got a 'tip!'"

Facts have proved that Wen Jianyan's guess is correct.

The real source of income is not to lure guests into the store, nor to enter the place designated by the guests, but to find the real entrustment of the guests through this place, complete it and get tips. Each of them got a tip of five yuan this time!

And there are a total of seven anchors on their side, and they add up to a full thirty-five yuan!

In the live broadcast hall of [Xingwang Hotel], after seeing the newly updated progress bars of both parties, the atmosphere among the audience was mixed.

"Damn it, my points are all on the black team, it's been so long, why is there still no move! Just wait for someone to overtake you! "

"I'm so **** off, I didn't expect to press the wrong treasure again this time, oh my god, why is the gentleman so ignorant this time, the group that has been tricked from the beginning, the advantage that is finally obtained is always so easy Being overtaken by the opponent, I am really speechless, Chunchun is just making wedding clothes for other people."

The audience who supported the red side were beaming, "hee hee, I knew that the red side would win" and "give me the super, continue to super"

There are also audiences who are not standing on either side making sarcastic remarks:

"Don't be too complacent about the red side. According to the current rules, the distance can easily be widened. Don't be complacent just looking at yourself as the lead now. This kind of tug-of-war won't be clear until the last moment." Negative!" "And I'm afraid you don't know it, this short-term overtake, the price paid is not small. ""Laughing to death, you still don't know that the only pillar of the red side that you are temporarily leading is gone! "

"Huh? Wait? What do you mean?"

High-pitched emotions spread in the dilapidated house, and everyone's faces were full of excitement, except Chen Mo.

She turned her head and looked at Chen Mo:

"Wait a minute, why were the text messages from the other two red teams sent to you? "

Just now, due to time constraints, only Wen Jianyan exchanged contact information with the captains of the other two teams, but Chen Mo did not.

However, for some reason, the text message of the good news was not sent to Wen Jianyan, but to Chen Mo, who had never exchanged contact information with anyone else. Their mobile phones were generated by the Nightmare system, "no "Signals" generally don't happen, and even if they happen, there won't be such a downgraded transmission.

This is not right. No matter how you think about it, there is only one reasonable explanation.

Yun Bilan's expression was cloudy and uncertain.

When the captain is judged to be dead by the dungeon, the vice-captain will automatically inherit the position of the captain. In this way, if the team that lost the captain wants to contact each other, it will not be terminated because of someone's death.

Chen Mo didn't answer.

Yun Bilan lowered her head expressionlessly, raised her hand and clicked on the live broadcast interface in front of her, and found her team formation information.

don't know when

Wen Jianyan's name faded away.

In an instant, the air in the dilapidated house suddenly became dead silent.

Zhong Shan also seemed to realize that something was wrong. He turned his head and looked around, obviously thinking of the same rule, and was stunned: "Wait a minute, no way, no way?! Boss died in the well?"

His sound instantly broke the stagnant air in the room, and in an instant, several murderous gazes shot directly at him.

"Fart! You shut up!"

Huang Mao was a little excited.

His face was flushed red: "The captain is definitely not dead! Besides, it's okay for his name to be grayed out again before! I don't believe you don't know about this!"

At that time, there was a lot of ups and downs in the forum, and few anchors didn't know it.

"I know, I know." Zhong Shan hummed, and asked a question that was equally unclear in everyone's mind: "It's just that the miracle that happened last time, can it happen this time?"

The atmosphere in the dilapidated house was oppressive and breathless.

Yun Bilan stood up without saying a word, turned around and walked out of the dilapidated house. Chen Mo reached out and grabbed her arm quickly:

"Wait a minute! Where are you going! "

"Verify a guess." Yun Bilan said coldly.

She shook off Chen Mo's hand and continued to walk outside.

Chen Mo lowered his head and glanced at his empty palm in astonishment.

He is the anchor of the offensive talent, and under the influence of the talent, his strength is doubled. This is the first time he has seen that someone can shake off his hand so easily. He quickly reacted, "Wait, don't be impulsive---"

A group of people hurriedly chased Yun Bilan and left the broken house.

Chen Mo stood between Yun Bilan and Jing, persuading him:

"This well is unusual. Even the captain's life or death is uncertain. Now we can't be impulsive, but we have to analyze the tactics carefully!" "

Huang Mao even grabbed Yun Bilan's arm, anxiously like an ant on a hot pot, and said, "Sister Bilan, I am as worried about the captain as you are, but this appearance is meaningless—"

At this moment, Bai Xue's cold and hoarse voice sounded from the side, "Don't stop."

The others were startled and turned their heads to look over.

The white-haired and fair-skinned boy stood at the door of the dilapidated house, looked over for a moment, and repeated in the same tone: "Don't stop." After speaking, he lowered his eyes again and stopped talking.

Several people looked at each other with hesitation, and finally stepped aside.

They knew exactly how much weight the words of Bai Xue, who was in the top ten, really had. Since he said that, there might be a reason for it.

At this moment, Bai Xue's live broadcast room exploded:

"? ? ? "

"! I go! This is the first time I've seen Baixue take the initiative to use her talents to give advice on such things. Is he a change of character? "

"Speaking of which, since playing the dungeon next door with 08, Bai Xue has really done a lot of things that she never would have done before. So, my family treasure was really fooled last night, right?"

"The liar next door kills me! "

Unable to stop her, Yun Bilan walked quickly to the side of the well.

Different from just now, this time, even though she had put her hand on the side of the well, and even looked in, there was no sound in the well.

Everyone on the side looked at each other in surprise.

"Come here and help me catch it. "Yun Bilan tugged at the rope at the side to make sure it was still strong, then turned her head and said to the others. Several people woke up like a dream, and stepped forward to hold the well rope.

Although she made such a bold decision to go down the well, Yun Bilan is also an experienced anchor after all.

After making all the preparations and carefully choosing all the props that might be useful in the future, she grabbed the rope with both hands, kicked against the wall with both feet, and lowered herself little by little.

Inoue, several people raised their hands to hold on to the rope tightly to prevent the bearing from breaking. Before long, the weight on the rope disappeared.

Chen Mo hurriedly yelled into the well, "Bilan, are you okay?"

Soon, Yun Bilan's muffled voice came from down the well: "It's all right."

Everyone on the ground breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily. Huang Mao lay on the well and shouted, "Have you found the captain?"

The next few seconds of silence made everyone's heart rate speed up.

"No. "

After hearing Yun Bilan's reply, everyone fell silent involuntarily.

The tiny hopes in their hearts were crushed, and everyone showed complicated expressions—disappointed because Wen Jianyan was not there, and grateful that his body was not found.

Not far behind, Bai Xue took a step back slowly and returned to the dark dilapidated house. He raised his dark eyes that almost seemed treacherous, and looked towards a certain direction in the void.

There are countless transparent lines criss-crossing that others cannot see. As long as he is willing to pay the price, he can know the answers to these lines and the possible direction of future extension. but

Only one line is cut across the sky.

It didn't disappear, it just couldn't be caught by his hands.

I don't know the content, I don't know the follow-up, and I can't get the answer. is a completely unknown existence.

In other words, he didn't know whether Wen Jianyan was still alive, where he was now, and what he might encounter next. This unpredictable experience that was completely beyond the scope of understanding made him strange and novel. It seems that since entering this copy, this feeling has always been produced.

is a variable.

Unpredictable, unpredictable, variables beyond control.

A rare gleam flashed in Bai Xue's eyes.

Just focus on the clues in front of you and forget the big picture?

down the well.

Yun Bilan stood at the bottom of a small well that was so small that it was difficult to fully stretch her arms. The surrounding space was narrow and closed. The crooked well walls were covered with slippery moss. It was dark, only the distant skylight fell from overhead, barely illuminating the small space in front of her.

She squinted her eyes, staring at the hideous skeleton at the bottom of the well, half leaning against the well wall, covered with rotten pieces of cloth, and with its mouth wide open. Yun Bilan raised her voice, saying

"But, I found something else. "

Wen Jianyan fell to the ground with a thud.

This was really serious, and he was dizzy for several seconds without reacting.

Isn't it in the water?

However, the ground beneath the body is indeed a solid ground, and the touch seems to be very familiar. Wen Jianyan's fingers twitched, as if he was feeling for the existence beneath his body.

like

carpet?

Wen Jianyan was stunned.

He calmed down, shook his head, and shook the swaying black shadows away from his eyes, and then looked around at everything around him.

Narrow and long corridors with no end in sight, old wallpapers, and dark red lights. Everything is so familiar.

Thrive Hotel? !

Wen Jianyan looked down at himself.

Contrary to the gloomy and dry environment around him, he himself was completely wet from head to toe, as if he had just been salvaged from the lake. Moisten a small area.

Wen Jianyan thought for a while, supported the wall with one hand, and pulled herself up from the ground.

He first opened the live broadcast interface.

Signal interrupted.

Can't see the barrage, and can't visit the store.

However, props already in the backpack can still be used.

This is not the same as imagined.

Wen Jianyan frowned.

If according to his previous speculation, this "duplicate" and the merger in the dungeon all exist for him, and obviously, Nightmare doesn't just want him to go down to the bottom of the well, but also wants to continue to live. So, Wen Jianyan continued to follow the script

Of course, his performance at the bottom of the well just now probably only has three-point acting skills. Everything else is an honest play from the heart.

Because it's really scary! !

However, according to the previous logic, Nightmare should not send itself to an area that it cannot touch or even govern. Could it be that he was sent directly to the real Xingwang Hotel? That's also very strange.

Since it took so much effort to create an entire mirror copy, why did he take the initiative to guide him to find the answer, to find the real Xingxing Hotel from the fake Xingxing Hotel, then what Mengtong did was meaningless

""

Wen Jianyan lowered her wet eyelashes to cover the expression in her eyes.

While he was contemplating, suddenly, at the corner of the corridor not far away, there was a sound of footsteps.

The sound of footsteps coming straight in this direction pulled Wen Jianyan out of his thoughts and made him startled!

someone!

With almost no time to think about it, Wen Jianyan turned around and opened a door next to her, and slipped in carefully.

Although entering a hotel room casually may take certain risks, but he has not yet fully grasped the current situation, and facing the existence that he does not know whether it is a human or a ghost, his danger will only be greater.

Wen Jianyan leaned against the door, held her breath slightly, and listened to the sound outside the door.

Outside the door, a group of footsteps gradually approached. They seem to be talking about something.

"This dungeon has been going on until now, and it is time to end. "

"That's right, most of the puzzles have basically been solved, and we just need to complete the ceremony" "Great, wouldn't the platinum achievement this time be stable?"

Sticking close to the door, Wen Jianyan, who was listening carefully to the other party's words, was involuntarily stunned.

A bold, almost unbelievable conjecture emerged in his mind, but under the current circumstances, it was the only reasonable explanation.

So, is he now in the copy of the Prosperous Hotel that was almost achieved Platinum achievement?

Outside the door, the sound of footsteps continued to move forward, gradually moving away. Wen Jianyan lowered her eyes, as if she had made up her mind.

Suddenly, there was only a "creak".

"who?!"

All the players suddenly became vigilant, turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.

"Don't, don't do it. " A slightly panicked voice sounded.

The door was slowly pushed open.

A young girl in a white skirt appeared behind the door, staring in this direction with those big timid eyes, and said cautiously: "I am a living person."
