MTL - Half Immortal-Chapter 105 Puppet Castle (18th chapter)

At this time, the ranking table that can be seen on each player's information panel has begun to change significantly.

Occasional changes in the middle of the night are different. In the current ranking table, people will add points in no time. In addition to Xue Wan, whose score is the highest, Xu Miaomiao's steadily rising score ranks second. Starting from the third place, the organization's score has been disconnected from the first and second place. But after the third place, there is a tight bite between each organization, and the rankings are changing all the time.

Yan Wei tapped the black ring with his fingertips, the thoughts flashed in his mind, and the latest ranking table appeared in front of him.

First place, Qi Xingxing, Xue Wan, …, 21 points.

Second place, Bianhua, Xu Miaomiao, …, 16 points.

Third place,…, 8 points.

The fourth place, unorganized, …, 8 points.

Fifth place,…, seven points.

…

The 37th place, Xuanniao, Yu Feizhou, Lin Zhen, Yan Mingguang, Yan Wei, 0 points.

Thirty-eighth, …, 0 points.

…

Sixtieth, …, died.

…

Yan Wei first glanced at the current game from top to bottom, then looked up again, and when he saw the fourth place, his eyes stopped.

Unorganized... This is followed by a very long name, which is obviously the unorganized player who was dragged into this dungeon for various reasons. Because this is originally a competitive dungeon between organizations, and the points are calculated in units of organizations, and these players are almost all low-level players of more than ten or twenty layers, so the dungeon directly counts them as a new organization. Scattered scores will be counted.

But at the beginning, including Yan Wei, no one would take this group of people into consideration. Because they were not the players who actively entered this dungeon, but were dragged in after the failure of the casino. From the moment the dungeon rules were clarified, players who took the initiative to participate in the competitive dungeon knew that these people were just victims thrown in by Lou in order to provide more puppets.

But now, the total score of this group is as high as fourth. And this fourth place is tied with another organization that scored 8 points earlier. It can be said that apart from Venus and Bana, they already have the highest score.

"...Interesting," Yan Wei blinked, his eyes clear, "It seems that there are also noteworthy players among this group of people."

He closed the information panel and exchanged for a false stone, which turned it into a blocker and hid it behind a mirror on the wall.

Lin Zhen was holding a pen and paper, whistling, and leisurely drew down the road he just walked. On the paper he was holding, one of the corners was already densely filled with routes. As he perfected the road he just walked into the structure map of the castle, he said, "You have hidden all the fake props all the way. We didn't get anything except this topographic map."

"Our blockers are already hidden wherever we walk."

"?"

"Didn't I just say, after the explosion this morning, players with similar progress as us should have been wary of us - they won't make the same mistake a second time. In this case , they also anticipated that the next step after we destroyed the power box was to read the puppet values ​​individually using the lines on the castle floor."

After Yan Wei placed the blocker, he copied his pockets with both hands, felt the situation ahead with his senses, and chose a still very remote road first.

He continued: "If it were you, you already guessed that I was going to place blockers all over the castle, so as to easily control the number of puppets that can be read locally, what would you do?"

Before Lin Zhen opened his mouth, the two fish flying boats said in unison: "Look for the traces of your past, destroy the blocker we put, and replace it with theirs. This can numb us and make We thought we were successful, but they were the ones who could read the numbers."

Yan Wei smiled and said: "That's right. So if someone can make the same progress as me, then I have to admit that they are an opponent worthy of serious consideration, so I have to take a holiday first, let these Players who want mantises to catch cicadas destroy the fake ones and replace them with theirs."

"The other one I can definitely think of, he will also follow the traces of our actions, if he sees a real blocker, bypass this layer of logic, he will He can also guess that there are at least two groups of people in front of him, one group of us, the other group of players who follow us to replace the real blocker. Then he must be able to think of what happened before, and control the other group of players. The blocker is taken away and replaced with a real blocker that we can control."

Lin Zhen: "You are so sure that at least one group of people will do this?"

"I'm very sure, but I can't confirm it. After all, I can't be completely sure what the players in this game will think. But whenever possible, I have to do it, even if It doesn't matter if I do it too much—the other one I saw fake blocker and thought about it, and replaced the fake blocker I left with the real one."

"Regardless of whether there are mantis catching cicada players, we are all oriole, and the result is the same."

Yan Wei put down a fake blocker again.

But this time, he paused, looking at the road ahead, frowning.

Yan Mingguang said behind him: "We may have to separate."

Yan Wei nodded: "We have finished the most remote part of this piece, and then... my perception spread out, the density of players has increased, and people cannot be avoided. We scored two teams. , a few people go ahead to open the way first, divert people or... arrest people, and the rest continue to leave the blocker. But the speed of opening the way ahead must be fast, otherwise..."

Otherwise, if his guess really happened, there would be someone behind them... If they delay for more than ten minutes, it is easy to collide with the person behind them. At that time, there will be a group of players in the front who have not been led away, and there will be a team of players in the back who are enough to conduct psychological warfare with him, and their situation will become very passive.

Yan Wei must be responsible for hiding the fake blocker.

This blocker can't be hidden completely and can't be found, and it can't be hidden so that others can clearly see his intentions. Only when he releases it himself can it achieve the effect.

Those who make the way ahead must be quick...

Yan Wei glanced at Yan Mingguang and Lin Zhen, and immediately said: "Yan Mingguang, Lin Zhenyu Feizhou, you guys go to open the way first, and Yu Feizhou will leave one with me just in case. We use the right ones. Talking about the relationship between props, there are accidents at any time. Don’t worry too much, few players can cooperate with us, there are two identical selves.” Most people usually want to get rid of another identical selves, then It is the instinct in people to fear being replaced.

When the words fell, Yan Mingguang glanced at him.

The other party didn't speak, just nodded, looking at his eyes as if seeing through his thoughts.

Yan Wei and this man met eyes, blinked quickly, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. He is indeed a little afraid of being alone with Yan Mingguang, worried that this person will ask questions that he cannot answer.

"What are you looking at? Let's go first," Lin Zhen turned around, paused, and then turned around, "Don't say I didn't ask, if you encounter someone who wants to entangle with us, What are you going to do? I'm not that kind, if anyone stops me, I'll send them to the meat grinder."

He said it with a smile, his tone was casual, his words were cold, but he looked back at Yan Wei with a rather probing look, obviously waiting for Yan Wei's opinion.

Yan Wei just said: "Then catch it."

Yan Mingguang's expression remained unchanged, but Yu Feizhou stole a surprised look.

"Isn't it strange? I'm not merciful either. If someone offends me, I will offend others. Since we've already blocked us, what morality are we talking about?" Looking at the situation a few roads ahead, he said, "But don't send them to the star-gazing platform, arrest people and find a place to lock them up first. If we really need to share...don't be merciful."

"Don't send it directly to the Observatory to get points?"

"The observatory must be guarded."

Yan Wei pointed a way: "Go this first."

"Okay, let's get in touch with the props."

After Lin Zhen finished speaking, he walked towards that road first. The two Yu Feizhou glanced at each other and chose one to follow. Yan Mingguang didn't delay. The figures of the three disappeared in front of Yan Wei's eyes for a moment, leaving only the Yu Feizhou beside Yan Wei.

After looking for a way, she paused for a while and said to her teammates: "I see these traces... They first went to relatively remote places, and avoided crowded places first. It seems that Although this team has a strong deduction ability, but the force is not high, we don't need to consume so many people and them. I'll put a blocker here—"

Another Xu Miaomiao continued: "I'll draw the topographic map of the castle, you go catch the prey to score points, it's too embarrassing to be slower than this lunatic Xue Wan."

Yan Wei hid a fake blocker again, and Lin Zhen's casual voice came from the intercom props in his ears: "Yeah, I caught another one, how come They all like to fight with me - Yan Mingguang doesn't look easy to mess with but has a good temper. Hey, little pet, when are we going to send these caught waste to the meat grinder? We've been hanging on for too long with 0 points ."

At the same time, there seemed to be a scream of a player in the background.

Yan Wei didn't bother to care about him, just said: "You are very noisy."

"Oh."

Yan Wei: “…”

"Go to the far left road," this time is Yan Mingguang's indifferent voice, "We have finished clearing this road."

Yan Wei made a "hmm".

"Fish flying boat," he said, "did you read the qualifying table?"

"What's wrong?"

"I was thinking, if there is someone in this dungeon who can keep up with my progress, who would it be? The situation of the players inside is not very clear, you and Lin Zhen know each other better. In the ranking table, which one is good at non-violent breaking of the game?"

"You mean, if someone follows us, it must be in the top three?"

"It must be in the top three, because it is absolutely impossible for a player organization that wants the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole to be behind and does not reject the rules of killing. Get more points."

Yu Feizhou thought for a moment and said, "I think you may have guessed right."

"Huh?"

"The second place, the other side flower, the player whose name ranks first, is mainly based on strange and unpredictable game breaking techniques, and is a very perceptive female player. And with her style ...that fits perfectly with your expected behavioral style of a possible adversary."

"You don't look very good."

"Because I heard his name, and it was from Lin Qing's mouth."

Yan Wei was stunned: "Lin Qing? Isn't Lin Qing already breaking more than 90 books?"

"Yes, it's about ninety."

, The player that Bianhua is most focused on training, the weapons are wizard sticks and puppet cards. This is the prop that Bianhua directly brought Xu Miaomiao from the 40th floor to the 90th floor. The gift of the 90th floor, even if it is a small beginning. The numerical rewards given by the branch line are enough to surpass all the accumulations of players on the 40th or 50th floor. The other side used this method to help Xu Miaomiao get high-level props and body data that exceeded the level of dozens of layers, and then paid a great price. Before clearing the customs, I found a passage for Xu Miaomiao to descend from the building - so Xu Miaomiao is not considered a descending player."

"She's tricky."

Yan Wei raised her eyebrows. He doesn't care how many floors Xu Miaomiao has been to - anyway, he knows that he is a player who has come back to format. No matter how high Xu Miaomiao has been, can it be as high as he has been?

What he cares about is another point: "Puppet card?"

"Her skills and auxiliary items are puppet art, which fits perfectly with this instance..."

Yan Wei was about to open his mouth to continue asking when another voice of Yu Feizhou came from the intercom prop. Compared to the calmness of the Yu Feizhou in front of him, another voice that was exactly the same was hurried and surprised.

"Yan Wei! Don't come here, go to a place with fewer people! We have an accident here..."

"What's wrong?"

"Lin Zhen had a fight with another him, there are players from other organizations here, and now it's a mess, we may not have the energy to protect you when you come here. Yan Mingguang and I will first After Lin Zhen's matter is settled - Lin Zhen!!"

Even through the walkie-talkie, Yan Wei almost broke his ears by the sudden shout from Yu Feizhou.

He didn't ask what was wrong, but the voices of other players in the background let Yan Wei know everything. Those people seemed to be the other players that Yu Feizhou said. They were far away, and the words they said seemed to be amazed by themselves. They passed their intercom props from Yan Mingguang's side of Yu Feizhou to Yan Wei. ears, blurry.

Yan Wei concentrates, concentrates all his perception on his hearing, and takes a lot of effort to hear a few words clearly.

Afterwards, his expression froze, and his amber pupils trembled slightly.

The fish flying boat beside him is not as perceptive as him. He couldn't hear it clearly. He was quite confused: "What happened? What happened to Lin Zhen? Did you hear it clearly?"

Yan Wei nodded slowly.

"They said..."

"What did they say?"

"They said Lin Zhen killed another self."
