Kapitel 205: Either he is a player who has found a new way, or he is a ghost.
Nearly an hour had passed since the bottom of the ship was hit, the bow continued to tilt downward, and the bottom two cabins began to take in water.
The cold seawater poured into each room through the door cracks and windows, even the dumbest crew members knew that the situation was not good. Because it was daytime, players were basically participating in the execution in the entertainment area above the 5th floor, and the seawater had not yet spread there, but this did not mean that players outside team 1 knew nothing.
Just like the situation of team 1, after the ship hit, prison guards came out to check the situation, then unexpectedly found that most of the doors of the walking stairs were blocked. Some of them were lucky enough to find a way to pass, and met Bai Leshui on the deck. Some of them were unlucky and wandered back and forth in the closed cabin, feeling uneasy. After informing other prison guards in the same team of the dilemma, they gave up guarding prisoners and looked for a way up restlessly. After searching in vain, they could only find hard objects to smash the door.
The panic was contagious, spreading to all prison guards, then to the prisoners who were still locked up.
Not every team of prisoners was eliminated, leaving only players. The prisoner NPCs were irrational in extreme fear. They were different from players. Players knew that this was just a game, they were just afraid of failing to advance this time. For the prisoner NPCs, the shipwreck was a matter of life and death.
They realized what had happened and were afraid that they would be buried in the sea without knowing why. Prisoners rioted. They attacked the executioner guarding the door and escaped from the execution ground. Players mixed in with the rioting prisoners and slipped out together. The executioner was merciless to prisoners who violated the rules. The blood stained the ground red. No one knew how many people fell down, whether they were NPCs or players.
This cruise ship is relatively old, and it is basically all stairs. Rong Zheng blocked all the stairs that could be blocked. Players who were unfortunately in the blocked cabin faced a hell that was more terrible than the execution scene.
The executioner was very angry. It only knew that a prisoner had escaped, but it couldn't remember who the prisoner was, and would attack everyone indiscriminately. Unfortunately, the escape door was locked, no one could get out or hide. They could only flee in this floor, violently smash the door, or use cards to escape, or... wait for death.
Players in team 1 who were unfortunate enough to move here randomly with cards faced a worse situation, or continued to use cards to escape from here. If they encountered a card time CD, they could only face reality helplessly.
The number of players dropped sharply in this crazy turmoil. The initiators of this situation, Bai Leshui and Rong Zheng, one was leading two players to the captain's room, providing half-true and half-false information, and one was finding the prison guard Allen on the ninth floor, still happily hanging out.
Captain's room.
Female player: "Is this really the captain's room? You didn't lie to me?"
Rong Zheng: "Is there a benefit of lying to you ma?"
The female player thought about it and shook her head. She looked around. Whether it was the location of the cabin or the equipment inside, it proved that this was indeed the captain's room. However, it had not been used for at least several years. Not only was the equipment broken, but it was also covered with a thick layer of dust.
The male player saw the steering console. He wiped the dust off it and saw bloodstains.
"Have you seen the captain here?" the male player asked.
Rong Zheng replied, "I saw him once at the door. He was holding a bottle of wine and drunk."
The female player was very shocked: "Can you drive a cruise ship like this?"
Or, is he qualified to be a captain?
Getting drunk while the ship is sailing?
"Where is he now?"
"Who knows ne. Maybe he ran away?" Rong Zheng replied, "Now the captain's room has been found. You said that there will be a way if you find the captain's room. I don't want to die here."
The female and male players looked at each other. They thought that the situation might not be as good as expected, but they didn't expect it to be so bad. The female player said awkwardly: "I know, we will find a way to escape. I need to repair the machine here. Maybe there is a boat for rescue." If it doesn't work, just find a way to make something like a boat that can float on the sea. As long as they don't drown, there will always be a way.
She can't be eliminated like this. It's a rare promotion dungeon, and she must succeed.
Rong Zheng folded his arms and watched the two players tapping the control panel, his eyes were in a trance, openly in a daze.
Don't know how Bai Leshui is doing.
In the corridor on the ninth floor.
"Electric shock switches? What are we going to use them for now a?" Allen frowned, looking anxious, "Team leader, aren't there any life jackets in the room ma? The ship is about to sink, those prisoners will die with the ship. Why should we worry about them now! a"
Bai Leshui replied coldly: "Because those prisoners are likely to do radical things in extreme panic, we must be on guard. Even if I sink with the ship, I don't want to be attacked by prisoners!"
Allen hesitated, went into the room and searched for a while, then took out two switches and threw them to Bai Leshui. Bai Leshui took it, put it in his arms, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Allen.
Bai Leshui turned to look at him. Allen's words were bitter, and the hand holding Bai Leshui's arm was shaking slightly: "Will we die ma, team leader? Without life jackets and lifeboats, will we die ma?"
After hearing this, Bai Leshui asked: "Are you afraid ma?"
Allen cried softly: "I'm afraid a, I don't want to die yet."
Bai Leshui was silent for a moment, and only said one sentence: "Sorry."
They will die. No matter whether they are NPCs or players on this cruise ship, no one can survive in this copy except Duan Yan and Yan Li who escaped first.
"The captain and Agatha may have escaped first." Bai Leshui regretfully told Allen the 'facts', "I looked everywhere and couldn't find them anywhere. I think... they may have learned about the problem of the ship's failure first, knowing that the ship would enter a dangerous area, there was no way to ask for help, so they left first, after all, there were not enough lifeboats."
Allen looked at Bai Leshui in a daze. He thought of the lifeboats that disappeared inexplicably, and Agatha and the so-called captain who had not appeared so far, and believed it. Then he started to curse, and finally cried bitterly.
After Bai Leshui released the wrong information, he left. He still had to continue looking for other prison guards, relay the 'facts' he had 'just discovered', and take away the electric shock switch managed by the prison guards. Although he didn't know if he could use it, it was better to be prepared.
David and Oka looked for the way upstairs. They knew they were on the sixth floor through the signs on the wall. There was a bar in the entertainment area of this floor, it happened that the prisoners of Team 13 were executed in the bar today.
There were only a few players among the prisoners of Team 13. This was a relatively lucky team. Although they were located on the floor with the gate blocked by Rong Zheng like Team 10, there was a hidden big shot in the team who directly killed the executioner who was guarding the gate. After the prisoners ran out, they were not in danger of being chased, but they still faced the dilemma of being trapped.
Just as David and Oka were trying to smash the blocked door, the prisoners of Team 13 ran out. As prisoners who had always been led by prison guards and had no freedom of movement, they did not know the internal structure of the cruise ship well enough and could only run around. Some people came to Oka and others and changed a way when they saw the door was blocked. Some people stood quietly behind them and put their hopes on the two of them.
The blocked door of the stairs cannot be solved with just one card, but it still did not stump Oka, it just took a little time.
"If there is a door or even several doors on each floor in the future." Oka wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "We will not be able to get to the deck before the ship sinks. Was this door blocked before ma?"
"When I came here this morning, the door was not blocked." Seeing the door open, a short and fat man quickly squeezed in and left a message to the two of them when he left.
Oka looked at the short and fat man's hurried back. He had no way to tell whether the other party was a player or an NPC through this simple encounter, but it didn't matter. No matter what it was, it didn't make sense for the current situation.
As long as it wasn't a ghost, it would be fine.
After the short and fat man passed by, several more prisoners squeezed over desperately. Oka and David noticed that there was a prison guard hidden among them. The other party took off the prison guard's uniform jacket, threw away his hat, and wore an ordinary white shirt on the upper body. The lower body was still standard pants, but the prison guard's pants were ordinary black trousers, which looked inconspicuous.
But this was indeed a prison guard, because there was nothing on his neck.
No one paid attention to him. Everyone was running for their lives. Everyone was pushing and shoving, and no one gave in.
This escape, on the contrary, made the difference between players and NPCs clear. The NPC was extremely frightened and wanted to run up at the fastest speed in their life. Player was also running for their life, but their footsteps were a little leisurely compared to NPCs.
Still couldn't tell who was the ghost.
"There shouldn't be any ghosts here." David said, "The one who locked the door must be a ghost. There's no need for a ghost to lock themself down there."
Oka agreed with him.
"So let's see which floor won't be blocked. Then there should be a ghost above that floor?"
David nodded, the two continued to set off and caught up with the group of people who were fleeing.
Then on the seventh floor, the door was locked again.
Someone immediately looked at Oka with expectant eyes. Oka tutted and thought that he was a locksmith. And damn it, it was a different door with a different lock. Don't know how long it would take this time.
Just as he was about to step forward, he heard David shouting, "Stop." Oka turned his head in surprise and saw a man running away with his back to this side in the distance of the corridor on the left.
Oka immediately threw the tools to the short and fat man, told him to do it himself, then chased after him. The short and fat man didn't have time to stop him.
"Is he someone you know ma?" Oka asked David while running.
David panted heavily: "That's a prisoner in team 1. I remember his face. Yes, absolutely... he's not dead."
Oka's eyes turned and asked: "Who is it?"
David's mind was full of thoughts about catching people. Without thinking too much, he answered him directly: "Chapman, I remember his name is Chapman!"
When he entered the game, he and his partner were prisoners in the same cell with McPhail and another person. McPhail gave him a very strange feeling. David couldn't figure out whether he was an NPC or a player. He looked like both, but he didn't look like either. Because he cared more about this person, he paid a little attention to this person in the circus level. Then he accidentally noticed Chapman who always talked to McPhail.
Chapman should be an NPC, at least David always thought so before just now.
Then this NPC was unfortunately eliminated when the circus flywheel fell.
It was pitch black at the time, but the executioner did take away enough bodies.
And now, what did he see? Chapman, alive and well, wearing a prison guard's uniform, ran away as soon as he saw him.
No matter how you think about it, it doesn't seem like the behavior of an ordinary NPC.
Either he is a player who has found a new way, or he is a ghost. If you want to confirm this, you can catch him and ask him. If he is a ghost, maybe you can follow his clues to find out another identity.
And McPhail is probably an NPC with a special plot and background ba.
That's why he thinks he is special.
Unfortunately, at that time, he didn't focus on solving puzzle at all. He always thought that this copy didn't need to solve puzzle.
The author has something to say:
He is coming, he is coming with a pot on his head. @Chapman
