Strange story player

Left, middle, right, three forks.

At first glance there is no difference.

But Luo Chengyou still found some clues while running.

The branch on the far left is very bright, clean and tidy, without any of those scalp-numbing black particles. It is also very spacious, wider than the main alley below.

The fork in the middle was poorly lit, dark, dirty, and vaguely covered with black matter, but it was very narrow and could barely accommodate two people walking side by side.

As for the branch road on the far right, Luo Chengyou only had time to take a quick look. That road was almost exactly the same as the main alleyway he was currently stepping on, and there was no difference.

Which one to choose?

Under the crisis of life and death, Luo Chengyou's mind was spinning rapidly.

The first thing he eliminated was the alleyway on the far right.

That lane is simply an extension of the lane below, no different from the main lane. He is currently being chased by a monster. Entering that lane with no difference means there is no chance to escape the crisis behind him.

Of course, if he is confident that he can keep running at his current speed without being overtaken by the monster behind him, he can choose the rightmost alleyway. After all, it has not changed much and is the most familiar in all aspects.

But Luo Chengyou doesn't think he can escape forever. There are limits to human physical strength. Although his physical strength has been exercised, it is not yet to the point where he can run forever. The unchanging alleyway on the right may be a way out for other players, but not It will be his.

As for the alley on the left, it looks the safest, clean, spacious, bright and tidy, but the problem lies here. With such an appearance, it is difficult not to suspect that it is basically tempting players to enter the left side.

But it almost makes it clear that when you enter the left alleyway, you can't get rid of the monster behind you, because there is a friction sound behind you. The friction sound means that the size of the monster is just crowded in the main alleyway, and the branch road on the left is smaller than the main alleyway. More spacious.

The only explanation Luo Chengyou could think of was that the left lane had a "promising future." After all, no black matter was found in the left lane, and almost all of those frog egg-like things were in the middle fork.

Although he didn't know what those black substances were, Luo Chengyou subconsciously didn't want to come into contact with it. Therefore, apart from the danger of being unable to escape the monster behind him, maybe the left alleyway was the safest choice in other aspects?

This thought only flashed through Luo Chengyou's mind.

It is difficult to achieve the ideal state for anything. If Luo Chengyou could keep running at high speed without worrying about being caught up behind him, then he would definitely choose the left fork.

But now, after seeing the difference in the width of the three branches, he immediately made a decision and rushed into the middle branch without hesitation, which was dark and full of black particles.

Because it is too narrow, even if it cannot block the monster behind it, it can greatly hinder the opponent's movement and buy yourself more time to escape.

Therefore, Luo Chengyou went straight into the fork in the middle.

He is very careful. One of the rules is "Don't touch the wall". He doesn't know if touching the wall with his body counts as "touching". Strictly speaking, it can only count as "touching", right?

But he wasn't going to try it.

After rushing into the middle alley, his eyes instantly darkened. Luo Chengyou was well prepared. He took out his phone and turned on the flashlight function before entering the central fork.

Now is the time to use it. The alley is narrow and wet, and the walls on both sides are covered with sparse mold. From time to time, you can see a large group of dense "frog egg" black particles on the ground and walls, which makes your scalp numb.

His speed slowed down a bit. He couldn't run too fast in this alley. It would be over if he slipped. He would rather go slower.

Moreover, after he entered the alley, the sound of scraping against the wall stopped abruptly.

The monster really couldn't get in.

This made Luo Chengyou breath a big sigh of relief. He slowed down and walked slowly forward in this damp and dark alley, using his mobile phone to shine.

What is going on in this village?

After feeling a little safer, Luo Chengyou paid attention to his steps while thinking about the current situation.

The word disinfection made him particularly concerned.

In the rules of Jiuqu Alley area, it is mentioned that [Jiuqu Alley does not need to be disinfected, it is dangerous].

There should be a causal relationship between the two, because there is no disinfection, so there is a danger.

But why is there no need to disinfect?

Although I don’t know the areas and rules of other players, judging from what the “monster” disguised as Xu Tingfang just said, everyone’s experiences should be similar.

The only difference should be that some places have been disinfected and some have not.

In addition, it is mentioned in the rules that [Jiuqu Alley does not need to be disinfected], which means that it is not necessary, not that it has not been disinfected, or that disinfection has failed.

The only explanation Luo Chengyou could think of was...whether this lane called Jiuqu Lane had been disinfected or not was meaningless to the entire sick village.

That's why I used "no need".

But why is it meaningless to disinfect Jiuqu Alley?

In what situation would the act of disinfection become meaningless?

Luo Chengyou stared at the sticky, frog-egg-like black particles on the ground, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

People who can survive to this day may have their own character shortcomings, but they will definitely not be stupid.

Luo Chengyou thought of a possibility.

Perhaps, no one uses this alleyway at all, so it doesn't make much sense whether it is disinfected or not.

But this possibility is a bit reluctant. After all, even if this lane is no longer used, the "pathogen" in it is still there, and it will always be a threat. Unless the aborigines of the sick village have verified that the "pathogen" in this lane is still there. "Pathogens" will not spread to the outside world, so it is said that "disinfection is not necessary".

But...will it be like this?

Luo Chengyou couldn't be sure, he could only remain skeptical.

However, while running in the dark alley, Luo Chengyou's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

He had never been so frightened before, because he discovered that... both sides of this alley were actually getting narrower!

In other words, this lane is likely to be a long and narrow funnel shape!

The entrance is already at its largest level, and it gets narrower as you go in.

He quickly slowed down his pace again.

However, if you continue to slow down, the battery of your mobile phone will not be able to last!

This alleyway is too dark. Without mobile phone lighting, it would be difficult to walk. You will definitely step on those "frog eggs".

But if he doesn't slow down, as he advances, the walls on both sides will narrow, and he will definitely hit the wall!

Luo Chengyou broke into a cold sweat.

Three rules came to mind.

【Don't touch the wall. 】

【Once you enter, you cannot stop. 】

【Do not look back. 】
