Players Please Get In the Car

In fact, they were not too far from the stream. After walking forward for a while, with the hearing of the players, they could hear the sound of children playing by the stream.

"Brother, I am not fooling you because I am afraid of death. The two missing people really disappeared without a reason after killing someone." The woman walked in front, still worried about her life. Her space teleportation props were invalid, which meant that the props carried by Xu Huo interfered with her props and could not distance themselves in an instant. The possibility of successfully escaping was very low.

"Did they disappear on the same day or separately?" Xu Huo asked.

The woman paused, "There was a day in between. At first, I and others did not believe it, but we believed it when the second person disappeared."

"With so many players staying together, they might have been killed by you or other players." Xu Huo said lightly.

The woman wanted to argue that even if one player of the same level was stronger, it would be impossible to kill another player quietly without letting others find out without a single move... But thinking that Xu Huo was a spiritual super-evolver, it was very likely to be achieved.

So she said, "I definitely can't do it."

Xu Huo laughed in the back and said, "However, if a B-level player can't resist at all, ordinary A-level players can't do it either. Fighting will make some noise anyway."

"So, brother, what you mean is, is it because of the copy?" The woman asked tentatively, "Like what you did just now?"

"Can you see me?" Xu Huo asked instead of answering.

"Yes, not only can I see, but I can also hear the sound." The woman reacted, "This is different from the situation of the two missing people."

"Yes, the situation is different, so it's two interference modes." Xu Huo said.

His previous experience should be similar to that of Yang Tian and the middle-aged man. They lost their sense of direction and were trapped in a fixed place. This may be the effect of a special magnetic field, or it may be some special spatial force. It is difficult for players or evolvers to find a way out.

But this situation is not a desperate situation. Strictly speaking, they are not isolated from other people and other places. If someone approaches or the situation in the forest changes, they can be found and get out of trouble.

From the information accumulated so far, this situation basically only occurs when they are alone.

The players' disappearance mentioned by the skinny woman was different. They disappeared under the eyes of multiple players. No one knew how they disappeared or what happened before they disappeared. It was a little different from the middle-aged man's departure.

Xu Huo asked the woman again if they felt sleepy at night. The woman told him confidently that they did not. They had people on guard at night, in groups of two.

"Did they fall asleep when they were on guard?" Xu Huo asked.

The woman had not thought about this question. "I took a nap for a while. I didn't notice whether the people on guard fell asleep or not."

Even if they didn't fall asleep, she wouldn't keep staring at the people on guard. Besides, everyone had defensive props or venue props. When they rested at night, they would definitely stay in the safe area they marked out.

If you are alone, you may encounter a "ghost wall". You can still hear the call after a long time, but the buffer time in between is too long, and people may not necessarily die.     This is a bit like the state when the player just entered this forest. It seems that people's shadows can be seen everywhere.

The vegetation in all parts of the forest is very similar. If there is any real difference, it is that they were far away from the village before. When the "ghost wall" situation occurred, they were closer to the village and had to be alone.

But if the player kills someone, the difficulty of the dilemma will increase. Inexplicably disappearing and inexplicably leaving on their own, it seems difficult for outsiders or the person to intervene in this process.

From these two situations, the dangerous part of this copy is almost written in the background introduction from the beginning.

First of all, you can't kill people at will, neither players nor locals.

Secondly, you can't be alone. The more people you have, the closer you are to the crowded village, the safer it is.

The hidden friend mentioned in the background introduction only needs one friend every day, which is actually a supplement to not being able to kill people at will.

With such an obvious bias, it is hard to say that the copy is not intentionally protecting the people living here.

The requirements of the dungeon for the role-players are to target other players in the dungeon, and losing the opportunity to play is equivalent to failing to pass the level, and can only be regarded as the object of the role-players' shouting. Of course, there is no possibility of protecting the players. Therefore, the biggest "beneficiaries" of controlling the players' desire to kill and limiting the number of kills are actually the local villagers.

In this way, players cannot use villagers to test the dungeon rules. If someone does so, the dungeon will prioritize eliminating this person. The date of the skinny woman's previous companions and the number of player deaths known by Xu Huo and his party overlap, so it does not mean that someone died in the forest, and the hidden friends will not kill again. "Only one friend is needed every day" is a restriction on the hidden friends and the role-players. Whether it is a real hidden friend or a role-player, the people killed by these two people meet the dungeon requirements.

So it is very likely that if the role-player successfully kills a "friend" one day, the hidden friend will not come out to kill again on that day. The dungeon time limit is 30 days, but 42 players have entered the dungeon. Ideally, there should be a role-player in less than a day. This is also a hint in the dungeon introduction. In the past seven days, at least seven role-players should have appeared.

Considering that some people may have wandered around in the woods without meeting anyone in the past few days, and nine people died, Xu Huo and his team accounted for almost half of the remaining people. No matter how random it is, it should be their turn, so the next person who insists on leaving the team may be the one who is randomly assigned to the identity of the hidden friend.

Of course, the middle-aged man may really leave on his own.

Even when the children were playing by the stream, they did not make much noise. In addition to various mushrooms, they also caught some small fish and shrimps from the water.

"Look, I didn't lie to you, a lot of mushrooms grew after the fog." The little girl still remembered what she said before, and took the backpack to Xu Huo to show him.

Xu Huo nodded, and saw the painter running over and asking him for an old-fashioned camera. She wanted to take pictures of these children.

Now the technology in the game is advanced, and the holographic projection of the communicator has almost replaced the photo function, but for this village, they want more real photos.

Xu Huo bought one and stood by the stream to take pictures of a group of people standing in the water.

"Why don't you come over and I'll take a picture of you?" he asked the skinny woman standing next to him.
