Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up

Only then did Zhao Xun take off his hood and reveal his figure.

He was wearing a cloak, and the color of the cloak was gradually changing from the iron gray texture of the cement wall back to the beige of soft fabric.

From the moment he guessed that the Minotaur was coming for him, he thought of several ways to deal with it.

With his current ability, it is not impossible to directly force him.

But he was not sure how many of his special abilities would be effective against the Minotaur, and he also guessed that the Minotaur would probably find a clone or stand-in to help.

Just in case something was missed, he made complete preparations and chose the safest option for himself.

First, use the [Doll that is good at imitation] to disguise yourself, sit at the intersection to attract the attention of the Minotaur, and then use the [Chameleon Cloak] to hide your true self.

It can not only ensure your own safety, but also wait for opportunities for sneak attacks.

[Dolls that are good at imitating]

After observing a person for 5 minutes, you can vividly imitate the person's demeanor, tone, appearance and style of doing things, exactly like the person you are, and your height and figure will also become like that.

But no special abilities will be used.

After being voluntarily taken back and turned back into a doll, there is no cool-down period before you can become the person you imitated again.

To become someone else, you need to observe the new person for five minutes.

If you transform back into a doll after being killed, you will enter a 24-hour cooling period.

【Chameleon's Cloak】

After wearing this product, you can completely integrate yourself into the environment like a chameleon, without being seen or smelled by the naked eye.

The wearer's presence is only noticed when touched.

There is no way to avoid detection by infrared sensors.

Without the monitoring of the clones and doubles, the Minotaur would not know what Zhao Xun did in these twenty minutes.

And there are only twenty minutes. For most players, there is really not much remedial measures they can do in such a short time. The Minotaur can easily ignore the importance of these twenty minutes.

What's more, although the Zhao Xun transformed into a doll cannot use special abilities, there is no problem with his appearance.

Sure enough, the Minotaur was fooled.

The Minotaur probably didn't expect that he, who was good at using clones and avatars, would be fooled by the player's avatar.

Zhao Xun also took revenge for having his weapon destroyed by the Minotaur's stand-in.

In fact, the moment the Minotaur appeared, Zhao Xun tried to use hypnosis on the Minotaur, but it had no effect.

In mythology, the Minotaur is not said to have hypnosis.

Although Theseus's previous state was very much like being hypnotized, it was probably not really hypnotized, but rather similar to a change in identity perception.

Just like in some movies and TV shows, you put on a mask and become another person.

Theseus was influenced by the bull-shaped headgear. When he put on the headgear, he would think that he was the Minotaur himself.

Since Zhao Xun's failure in hypnosis was not because the Minotaur's hypnosis was more powerful than his, then there were only two possibilities he could think of.

For one, as a monster, the Minotaur cannot be hypnotized by humans.

Maybe this is how the identity is set up in mythological stories.

Another, within the limitations of this game, is that some of the player's special abilities are ineffective against the Minotaur.

Such as hypnosis.

Zhao Xun is more inclined to the second possibility.

Once the hypnosis is effective, he can ask the Minotaur to voluntarily reveal the location of the weapon, or ask the Minotaur to always follow him and not escape.

Until he found a weapon and left the Minotaur to die.

Then the difficulty of the game will immediately drop to a very low level.

In short, no matter what the reason was, Zhao Xun's hypnosis had no effect, so he was in no hurry to show up.

After the Minotaur showed its trump card, it thought everything was under control and completely dropped its guard, so that he could hit it with one hit.

The Minotaur didn't even have a chance to dodge.

Although this method can only temporarily kill the Minotaur for a period of time, it is enough for Zhao Xun to take the next step.

Zhao Xun patted the black dust on the doll in his hand and put it back into the storage compartment - as long as the holder leaves an embroidery needle in the doll's body, when it changes back to the doll's appearance, it will It automatically returns to the owner's hands and can come back no matter how far it goes.

It saves him from having to go back and pick it up, which is quite convenient.

He glanced at the spot where the Minotaur had fallen.

At this time, there was only a piece of ashes left there. The clone was burned to ashes at the beginning. After the original body was carbonized, it shattered the moment it fell to the ground.

Now that they were all mixed together, he couldn't tell which part belonged to him.

The number of these ashes is still decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they are integrated into the stone slabs.

It was obvious that the Minotaur would not stay where he was for long after he "suspended his own death."

The purpose is self-evident, which is to avoid being picked up by players.

As for where it was transported, it is unknown.

The time the player can pick up the corpse is extremely short, and the Minotaur hesitated to attack him before.

It seems that he is quite afraid of death.

Zhao Xun summoned the mandrill and let it explore the road ahead.

Mandrill was taciturn and only silently carried out the tasks given by Zhao Xun.

There were still two-thirds of the road to go, and Mandrill walked all the way without any danger.

The same is true for the second and third roads that follow.

Zhao Xun curled his lips.

Just as he guessed.

After the Minotaur falls into a dead state, all traps will be temporarily disabled.

In mythology, the labyrinth was built to prevent the Minotaur from escaping and harming humans.

But the name of this game is [The Labyrinth of the Minotaur], which sounds very much like this labyrinth is owned by the Minotaur.

What's more, there are traps everywhere in this labyrinth, and the fact that the Minotaur can walk freely proves that it is the master of the labyrinth, and the labyrinth will not harm its master.

The possibility that the owner died and caused the maze to lose its ability to "work" normally was only 50%.

So Zhao Xun did not try it on himself easily, but let Mandrill try it first.

The results are great.

Take this opportunity to explore a few more roads and see if you can find any weapons.

Although the weapon he found before was in a trap.

But the weapon may not always be in the trap.

It all depends on luck anyway. This time it depends on whether you can find the treasure chest containing the weapons without any traps.

Zhao Xun was not sure how long it would take for the Minotaur to "die", so he could not estimate when the traps in the maze would be reopened.

Therefore, except for the first half hour when he took the initiative to set foot on each road, in the rest of the time, he would still let the mandrill test the road conditions before moving forward on his own.

Even if there is a situation where the trap is reopened just after the mandrill's test and he starts walking, the probability is not that high.

It went on like this for more than three hours without triggering a single trap.

But no weapons were found.

I did meet several players.

Those players were very excited to find that there were no traps on the road behind them.

Some are overly optimistic, thinking that the number of players will decrease the further you go, and it will be difficult enough to deal with the Minotaur, so there is no need to set traps on the way.

They all walked briskly, no longer thinking about traps, and just wanted to find weapons as soon as possible.

Some are more cautious and speculate on various possibilities.

For example, if there are no traps on a section of the road, and people relax their vigilance, traps will appear on the following roads.

For another example, if there are no traps on several roads in a row, there may be a greater crisis hidden behind it.

Players who think this way still walk very carefully.

Zhao Xun is the only one who knows the inside story, but his behavior is more like the former. People who don't understand the situation think that he is also a blindly optimistic player.

Naturally, he won't explain this and just mind his own business.

But he didn't expect that the Minotaur would be "dead" for such a long time.

It wasn't until around three o'clock in the morning on the 14th that the traps on each road were reopened.

And just a second before the trap opened, Zhao Xun had just found the weapon.

Strictly speaking, he saw a player holding something that looked like a weapon.

A sword that perfectly fits the style of the mythical story of the Minotaur.

By the middle of the month, even new players will definitely have the money to spend ten points to open their first storage compartment.

As long as this weapon can be put into the storage compartment, no one should have it in hand at any time.

What's more, this weapon is very consistent with what is mentioned in the mythical story about the Minotaur, the two treasures given to Theseus by Princess Ariadne.

Ball of string and sword.

Almost at the first sight, Zhao Xun was sure that this was the weapon he needed.

At the second glance, he looked at the player holding the weapon.

It's an acquaintance.

The bald monk I met in the [Haunted House] game earlier this month.

The monk soon felt Zhao Xun's gaze. He looked over and was slightly startled when he saw it was Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun strode towards the monk.

The monk didn't run, he just stood there, quietly watching Zhao Xun get closer and closer.

Until Zhao Xun walked in front of the monk, several screams suddenly came from different directions in the distance.

Both of them were silent for a while.

There is only one possibility for such a commotion to occur at the same time, and for several players to suffer disaster in different directions.

The traps in the maze have been reactivated.

This also means that the Minotaur is finally resurrected.

After a while, the monk spoke first: "Hey, I'm really unlucky."

"What do you say?" Zhao Xun asked, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"If the trap was reactivated the moment you found me, I could still run away." The monk showed a helpless expression, "But it happened that when you walked in front of me, the trap was reactivated and I didn't run. opportunity."

"When I first saw you, you had the chance to run away." Zhao Xun reminded.

The monk shook his head: "I am no match for you. Without the trap to stop me, I will definitely be caught up by you. Instead of causing an ugly scene when the time comes, I might as well give this to you and save my life."

With that said, he handed the sword in his hand to Zhao Xun.

It seems that there is no trace of reluctance.

From the moment he and Zhao Xun looked at each other, he knew that Zhao Xun had seen that the sword in his hand was the weapon that could kill the Minotaur.

The choice is not difficult for him.

Life is always the most important.

Even if he loses his weapon, he can still pass the game as long as he can successfully reach the end of the maze before the end of the game.

Although that would only get half the points.

But only by living can you have a future, and everything else is empty talk.

He was sure that he was no match for Zhao Xun and there was no need to seek death.

Zhao Xun looked at the sword in his hand and was a little dazed for a moment.

He didn't expect that the monk would hand over the weapon to him so readily, and he didn't even say a word of request.

"Then if there is nothing else, I will leave first." The monk said to Zhao Xun, "While there is still time, I have to rush to the finish line as soon as possible, so that after you kill the Minotaur, I can immediately Beat the game.”

"Are you so confident in me?" Zhao Xun couldn't help but laugh, "What if I fail?"

"Then I can only consider myself unlucky." The monk shrugged, and then said, "But I don't think you will fail."

"Then why don't you come with me?" Zhao Xun suggested, "If you encounter the Minotaur, you can also help me kill him together."

Then he added: "Anyway, I want to go to the end and see. Maybe I will meet the Minotaur along the way."

"No," the monk shook his head, "I helped you, but the credit for killing the Minotaur will still be counted on your head, and you still get the points, so I am really at a loss."

He scratched his bald head and smiled: "Besides, I may not be able to help you."

Zhao Xun looked at the monk for a while and nodded: "Okay, then I won't force you to stay."

The monk waved goodbye to Zhao Xun, recited Buddhist scriptures, and walked cautiously forward.

Zhao Xun looked at the monk's back with a look of regret on his face.

He wanted to keep the monk, but he didn't really want the monk to help kill the Minotaur. He just wanted to find an opportunity to get one of the monk's items to see if he could figure out what the monk's special ability was.

It's a pity that the monk is defensive against him. If he shows too much obviousness, it will only make the monk even more defensive.

He wouldn't forcefully kill the monk just for this.

I had to give up first.

After the monk left, Zhao Xun summoned the mandrill, tested the way he came in the opposite direction, and walked back.

But he didn't want to go back to the starting point, he just wanted to take a new path after reaching the fork in the road.

He knew very well that the Minotaur's violent character would be very unwilling to suffer such a big loss.

As long as the Minotaur thought that he succeeded in killing it through a sneak attack, as long as it was careful, it would not let him have the opportunity to attack it by surprise.

With such thoughts, it will come to him again.

But the Minotaur's "death" took too long, and it is not clear whether he found the weapon again during this period, so there must be a new wave of temptations.

Once it is discovered that he has a weapon, no matter how angry the Minotaur is, he will calm down instantly and will not show up easily.

What Zhao Xun has to do now is to find a suitable road as soon as possible and hide the sword before encountering the Minotaur's clone or stand-in.

It is always more convenient to wait for the other party to take the bait than to go looking for it yourself.

The Minotaur may be able to determine the position of each player in various ways, but the players have no such right.

If it deliberately prevents players from finding it, there are ways to lock the player's position and purposely stay away.

In that case, if Zhao Xun finds the game over, he will not be able to meet the Minotaur himself again.

However, if this situation really happened, he also considered a countermeasure.

It's a bit risky, but you can give it a try.
