Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

"What is this thing?"

Xu Tong's gaze landed on the faceless monster. Judging from its figure, it was definitely Lin Xi's form, or rather, a monster wearing Lin Xi's skin.

However, the behavior and state she was exhibiting at this moment were nothing like the Lin Xi that Xu Tong had seen before.

Even if the Lin Xi in the second room behaved wildly, she couldn't compare to the faceless monster in front of Xu Tong.

Her hands were stained with blood, and the long knife dripped blood.

The faceless monster dragged a corpse that looked exactly like herself onto the blood-stained tatami mat, casually tossing it onto the pool of blood.

Soon.

Lin Xi's corpse gradually melted into the pool of blood, disappearing without a trace.

The corpse disappeared on the tatami mat?

Xu Tong looked at his palm. Just now, his palm had been pressed on that pool of blood. At first glance, it didn't seem to be affected in any way, and Xu Tong didn't think much of it at the time.

But now, he wasn't so sure.

"Sigh..."

After disposing of the corpse, the faceless monster picked up her phone, seemingly to check the content on it.

Then, she went to the door and knocked on it a few times.

Immediately afterward, she pushed open the door, stepped into the darkness, and closed the door behind her.

The room returned to silence. After confirming that the faceless monster had left, Xu Tong finally crawled out of the closet.

"Has she left?"

Xu Tong felt relieved and went to the pool of blood again.

The corpse had completely disappeared, not even a trace of clothing fibers remained.

If Xu Tong hadn't seen the faceless monster throw Lin Xi's corpse down with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't have realized anything had happened here.

"So, Lin Xi can leave the room?"

After the faceless monster left the room, Xu Tong verified his guess.

That also meant that the Lin Xi in his room should have also left her original room.

However, whether the Lin Xi in the first room was 'purged' by the faceless monster, and thus disappeared from the room, or transformed into a member of the faceless monsters, and thus disappeared from the room, was another question.

In short.

That faceless monster was very dangerous. Although she should also be a member of Lin Xi, she was obviously a distorted product, and there was an essential difference between her and the Lin Xi he had seen before.

"I have to avoid her, otherwise even I will be in danger."

The phone in his arms rang again. Xu Tong took it out, and there was a new line of text on it.

"Come find me quickly, I'm in room 1191, you should be able to find me now."

Xu Tong: ?

Although the person on the other end of the phone sent the corresponding room number, there was still a big problem for Xu Tong.

First of all.

Where is room 1191?

Secondly.

Which room am I in?

Finally.

How can I get to a room with a fixed room number?

These three problems were in front of him, and each one was difficult to solve before taking the next step.

"Wait a minute."

Xu Tong suddenly remembered that when the faceless monster left the room just now, she seemed to have knocked on the door a few times.

And her purpose was to go to a designated room to purge the target inside.

In other words, this way of knocking on the door should be the way to travel between fixed rooms.

But there was still a problem.

Xu Tong didn't urge it. He stood there with his arms crossed, giving his brain plenty of time to think.

About five minutes later, a new line of text finally appeared in his sight.

[Your brain has deduced the most reasonable answer. Each continuous knock represents a number, and there needs to be an interval between each number. The interval time is best to exceed two seconds]

Seeing the line of text in his sight, Xu Tong immediately understood its meaning.

He came to the door and knocked out the room number of room 1191 on the door according to the rules given by his brain.

Squeak—

He grabbed the doorknob and pushed open the door in front of him.

Stepping into the darkness, a brand new room came into view.

This room was not much different from the previous room.

There was bright sunshine outside the window, and there was no blood on the tatami mat. It looked no different from an ordinary room.

The only thing that was concerning was probably the arcade game machine in the corner.

On the faded red painted body, the edges of the "King of Fighters 97" sticker were curled and yellowed, and the surface of the cathode-ray tube screen was covered with an oily halo.

Two scratched metal joysticks stood on both sides of the control panel, and the plastic edges of the six round buttons were polished and shiny. The light punch button on the left was even sunken to half the depth of a fingernail.

From time to time, the coin box below the coin slot made a tinkling sound. A hasty player put the game coin in the entrance with too much force, leaving a permanent bulge on the half coin stuck in the slide.

When the screen switched to the character selection interface, the current sound peculiar to the old-fashioned cathode-ray tube would form a subtle resonance with the drumbeat in the background music, attracting several fruit flies to hover in front of the heat dissipation grille.

The clicking sound of the spring when the joystick rebounded was mixed with the rubber touch of the button, which always reminded people of the days when they secretly saved lunch money when they were young.

In the lower right corner of the screen, there was a three-hit combo left by a master - the ",, + C" engraved on the explosion-proof glass with the tip of a ballpoint pen had long been blurred by the palm prints of later generations.

There was a stubborn scratch in the position of the blood slot at the bottom, which was said to have been scratched by a guy with a key ten years ago who was in a hurry to lose.

A faded price list was pasted on the side of the machine. Below the handwritten "1 yuan 3 coins", there were layers of modification marks.

"This is..."

Before Xu Tong could speak, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.

"You're finally here," Lin Xi turned around in front of the arcade game machine. The Lin Xi with her hair tied in a high ponytail was obviously different in temperament from the previous Lin Xi, "I've been waiting for you for a long time.

"Now, let's discuss business."

"Business? What business?"

Xu Tong's eyes fell on Lin Xi, who had a high ponytail, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't even know what's going on now."

"It's okay," Lin Xi waved her hand and smiled, pursing her lips, "Anyway, you only need to know one thing, that is... I'm here to help you, it's that simple."

After hearing this sentence, the confusion in Xu Tong's heart became even stronger.

"You're here to help me? You don't even know what my purpose is, you don't even know who I am, why can you say that you're here to help me?"

Lin Xi smiled lightly. Although the smile was almost the same as the previous Lin Xi's, the temperament she showed was completely different.

Her smile expressed a more gentle temperament, like a caring older sister, with a tenderness that could melt everything.

"Although I don't really know who you are, I know what your purpose is," Lin Xi put her hands behind her back, wanting to express that she was not threatening, "Your purpose is to escape from this room, right?"

Xu Tong's eyes moved slightly, "Why do you know this?"

Lin Xi chuckled, "Because every visitor who comes here is looking for the answer to this question.

"I have also helped many people find answers, but they all failed, and you... are the next person I want to help."

After she finished speaking, she specially took out her mobile phone and showed Xu Tong the SMS records between the two of them to prove her identity.

Having had the experience of helping himself before, Xu Tong was not as repulsed by the Lin Xi in front of him as he was by the previous Lin Xi, "Since you are here to help me, then at least tell me what is going on here?"

Lin Xi nodded, "Okay, but if I want to explain to you what is going on here, I need to popularize something with you first.

"Because many people, like you, have lost their memory after coming here and don't know what the background is."

Xu Tong nodded and didn't interrupt, signaling her to continue.

"This thing is called... Spirit Realm Technology."

Xu Tong immediately reacted to what it was, "I understand, VR, right? Virtual reality?"

Lin Xi looked at Xu Tong with a slightly surprised look, "It seems that you are more knowledgeable than others, you even know this."

What's so knowledgeable about this...

Lin Xi continued: "In essence, the space we are in is a virtual reality space, but there are some subtle differences from virtual reality.

"That is, the space we are currently in is a real and existing real space.

"This room is a space that relies on a real and existing mysterious room and was born out of it, a space that is influenced by virtual reality.

"This space is also named: Exhibition Room."

Lin Xi pointed to herself, "I, and all of these Lin Xi, are virtual reality products created based on a girl who was originally in this room. Our only meaning here is to become partners selected by visitors, and then accompany them throughout their lives to fulfill their wishes and meet their needs."

Hearing this, Xu Tong was sure.

The Lin Xi in the room before last really didn't lie to herself, she just didn't finish her words.

And what the Lin Xi in the third room said was actually the truth, their existence was a commodity, customers came to the store to buy, selected an object they were satisfied with, and then spent their lives with them in the room.

Just like...

Dolls placed on the shelves of a store.

"I have a question," Xu Tong asked, "When I woke up in the first room, I was locked in a cage. Is this normal?"

Hearing this, Lin Xi touched her face awkwardly.

"Uh... well... some people also have some special preferences, I can't control this... Some Lin Xi's personalities are like this, so other visitors choose them~"

Now Xu Tong knew that there would be great differences in the personality and preferences of each Lin Xi, so guests would come to "choose" products instead of taking them away one by one.

"Speaking of which, there's one more thing," Xu Tong suddenly remembered, "How do you know what happened to me in other rooms?"

Speaking of this, Lin Xi opened her mobile phone, "Because I downloaded a software on my mobile phone that can connect to the control panel and monitor the status of other rooms.

"Of course, all rooms are impossible, because some special rooms are encrypted, I don't have permission, I can only see an ordinary room."

As she spoke, she opened a software on her mobile phone, and multiple monitoring screens were presented on the mobile phone screen.

"It's because of the existence of this software that I can know your movements," Lin Xi said, "Fortunately, I reminded you, otherwise the you in the last room would be in danger."

Xu Tong recalled the faceless monster and asked, "Is that monster also a member of you Lin Xi?"

"Yes," Lin Xi generously admitted this, "It's just that she was still very normal before. It seems that she was affected by something. Suddenly one day she became like this. Now she seems to be in a crazy state, killing people everywhere."

Xu Tong suddenly remembered something and raised his eyebrows slightly, "No, she is not killing people randomly, she received someone's order, so she will travel through the rooms to kill people."

"Someone's order?"

Hearing this sentence, Lin Xi frowned slightly, and it seemed that she also had some ideas in her mind, "Are you sure? Really received someone's order?"

Xu Tong nodded very seriously, and repeated all the actions of the faceless monster he had seen in the previous room, "Yes, I am very sure that she received some kind of order, so she would do this. Do you have any clues?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xi nodded slightly.

"I can probably guess what is going on here, but I need you to do me a favor."

Xu Tong didn't agree to this matter immediately, "I can help you, because you have helped me before.

"But it is only limited to repaying your kindness. If you need me to help you later, you have to give me a reason."

Lin Xi raised her head in surprise, seemingly not reacting.

But soon, she also smiled slightly.

"I can help you escape, and while helping you, I may also be able to end our current tragic fate.

"That's all.

"Are you satisfied with this answer?"
