Welcome to the Nightmare Live

Several people walked into the store, and the blurred glass door closed behind them, covering the foggy corridor and patio outside.

The copper oil lamp was welded to the table, and the lighted wick swayed slightly inside the lampshade.

The dim light barely illuminates the storefront.

Here is a very standard, electrical appliance store in a department store, just like the clothing store downstairs, almost indistinguishable from the real world, old-fashioned iron shelves are neatly lined up in the store, the middle aisle is narrow, only For one person, there are all kinds of radios, TV sets, etc. on it.

It looks very old and has a sense of age.

Wen Jianyan took a step forward and walked through the narrow aisle.

The blurred figure of the girl in the white skirt swept across the surfaces of the TV screens, looking a bit weird in the dimly lit storefront.

Wen Jianyan's eyes swept across these products, her eyes sank slightly.

Even though the business has not officially started, Wen Jianyan can still clearly realize that the second floor is more than a little bit more difficult than the first floor.

According to the experience on the first floor, as long as the oil lamp is still on, the "customer" who comes to the store will not pose any threat to the clerk. The real danger comes from the "goods", or something related to the goods—— For example, the costume dummy on the first floor.

That is to say, the danger mainly comes from two directions:

dark.

and the store itself.

In the copy of [Prosperity Building], it is not necessary to obtain the customer's coin to complete the turnover.

Wen Jianyan noticed that the phone didn't ring after the customer left the coin and left, but finally called after they sent the dummy out and made sure it couldn't enter the store.

In other words, the way to determine the turnover of the copy is not only to sell the goods to the "customer", but also to eliminate all the dangers after the goods are sold, in order to count as a completed order.

It was precisely because Wen Jianyan had found the real source of the threat before the "customer" visited, and made preparations in advance and moved it to the position closest to the door, so their team was able to pass the border so quickly in the end. Be the first team to enter the second floor.

Wen Jianyan stopped in front of one of the TV sets and looked at his familiar and unfamiliar facial features reflected on the screen.

Compared with the second floor, the first floor is like a vacation.

The human leather jacket is worn on the dummy model - this imagery is highly directional and easily noticed by the anchor.

The burning speed of the oil lamp can withstand four attacks, and they only need to receive one customer to pass the customs. This fault tolerance rate is really not low.

In other words, if you want to survive on the first floor, the only thing you need to do is to figure out the basic mechanism of the copy,

As long as the rules are clarified, the anchor can basically be guaranteed to go upstairs safely.

But the second floor is different.

The shops on the second floor have completely erased the directivity, all the goods are exactly the same, they can hardly find the real danger based on previous experience.

More importantly, the products in the previous store are single, but there are two kinds of products on the second floor.

Even if the danger has not officially come, Wen Jianyan is almost certain that the number of "customers" they need to receive on the second floor should also double.

The base lamp oil available to them has not increased.

Although he got an extra plate of lamp oil, in such a dangerous environment, it didn't give Wen Jianyan much sense of security.

This floor is dangerous.

Wen Jianyan concluded.

"No one is outside."

An Xin scanned the probe outside the door.

It was quiet outside, without the slightest sound and without a single figure.

he asked cautiously.

"It seems that we should still have some time to prepare before the next time we open for business?"

"should be."

Qi Qian nodded and replied.

As the first team to enter the second floor, they will have more time to prepare, familiarize themselves with the store, and the environment around the store, etc.

But this time of safety is short-lived.

Under their example, the team on the first floor will realize the real clearance method and enter the second floor one after another.

"However, this copy should not wait too long."

Qi Qian raised his head, looked at the clock hanging above the counter, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "I remember that after we entered the first floor, the clock time was 5:45 pm."

Zhang Yu raised his head, although his face was pale and blue, but his mind was still very clear: "Captain, what do you mean, the moment we turn on the lights, will the dungeon start timing?"

Reasoning based on previous experience, this floor should also enter the so-called "dark night" on time at six, which is the same for the entire second floor.

"perhaps."

Qi Qian retracted his gaze and said noncommittally.

"What if you don't enter the second floor within fifteen minutes?" Nursery Rhymes asked.

Qi Qian: "I think, eliminate it."

Although everyone had guessed the answer, their hearts still sank.

With a little exposure of the law, they realized that the difficulty of the [Prosperity Building] book, even if it is placed in all the team books, is definitely one of the best.

If Qi Qian's guess about this mechanism is correct, the streamers should be scrambling to enter the next layer for each next layer, and whoever enters the next layer first will start the countdown.

That is to say, only the team that completes the "turnover" first will be eligible for fifteen minutes of preparation time, while the preparation time of other teams will decrease in turn.

If the first place is promoted to the next level, in the next fifteen minutes, there are still teams that fail to complete the turnover in time...

Well, their fate can be imagined.

As this dungeon continues to develop, it is bound to become an increasingly cruel race.

Whoever enters the next level first will have the advantage, and whoever falls behind will be eliminated.

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"And don't forget, the faster you climb, the higher the floor and the higher the difficulty. This dungeon is basically equivalent to forcing the anchor to jump into the high and dead game."

"...Mom, the rules of this dungeon are indeed a bit vicious."

"I'm going, is this a team book with A+ difficulty? How will I spend the next few hours? I feel numb just thinking about it."

"But these are things to think about later,"

Qi Qian retracted his gaze, looked at the few people in front of him with those slightly sinister eyes, and said solemnly, "The most important thing is to make use of these fifteen minutes."

There is not much time left for them, and they need to make the most of this small advantage.

"An Xin, you and Zhang Yu go outside and see the status of other stores."

Qi Qian ordered habitually.

In this dungeon, conflicts with other anchor squads will be a matter of time. An Xin's attacking talent can guarantee a certain degree of safety. At the same time, Zhang Yu is restrained and careful enough to balance An Xin's indiscretion and impulsiveness. The nursery rhyme, together with the prophet Su Cheng, assisted Wen Wen to stay and survey the store, and Qi Qian, as the strongest captain in the team, even if something happened, his presence would be enough to protect these auxiliaries. type of player.

According to common sense, this should be the optimal solution.

Qi Qian's eyes fell on Zhang Yu, who had a pale face, and he couldn't help but swallow the rest of the words.

Zhang Yu's current conditions are really not suitable for leaving the store, especially under the premise that there is a high possibility of conflict with other teams...

At this moment, a soft voice sounded:

"That, Captain..."

Qi Qian was startled and turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice came.

The girl in a white dress was elegant and slender. She was walking out of the narrow aisle at the moment. She looked at Qi Qian and said softly:

"Why don't I go with An Xin."

This……

Qi Qian's brows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes swept up and down Wen Jianyan's body, seeming hesitant.

On the other hand, An Xin's eyes lit up and nodded vigorously:

"Yeah!"

"Captain, don't worry, I'm not completely incapable of protecting myself," Wen Jianyan said.

But his voice was soft and sounded really unconvincing.

Instead, An Xin, who was on the side, reconciled and patted his chest to ensure:

"Trust me, captain, I will protect Wen Wen from coming back safely!"

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, is it just you?"

"just you?"

"just you?"

"I think it's almost the same as Wen Wen protecting you!"

Qi Qian pondered for a while, then finally sighed and nodded in agreement.

After all, I am afraid there is no other way.

If you want to find the dangerous goods hidden in these shelves, you can't do without the participation of nursery rhymes, and Sucheng's position as a prophet is too important, Qi Qian is not worried that he will leave his side, although An Xin's life-saving level is high enough , but has always been careless in his search for clues, leaving him outside alone makes little sense.

Although he is not too worried about Wen Wen, but...

According to the performance of the other party on the first floor, Qi Qian also understands that this little girl who seems to be weak and delicate, is far from being as simple as it seems.

Whether it was her composure in dealing with the crisis, or her sharpness and decisiveness in dragging Zhang Yu out of the darkness in the end, it all proved that her ability to become a senior anchor who has survived to this day is not just because of a pretty face.

"You have ten minutes," Qi Qian urged. "No matter what clues you find or who you meet, you must try to return within ten minutes."

"Understood." An Xin nodded as he diligently helped Wen Jianyan open the door and looked like a gentleman.

Soon, the figures of the two disappeared outside the gray door.

Qi Qian restrained his emotions and turned to look at the remaining people in the store:

"Tong Yao, you and the prophet split up and walk around the store to see if you can find something that's not right. Try not to use your talent. If you find something, call me immediately."

"Zhang Yu, go to the back of the store with me and take a look."

Although he knew that the risk factor was not low, Qi Qian still wanted to try it and see if he could get extra coins like the first floor. .

Since Zhang Yu is still alive, things will definitely turn around.

His current negative state cannot be cured by system items, so this must also be part of the dungeon mechanism, and things that can improve his condition should be hidden in this dungeon, perhaps...

Does it need to be exchanged like extra lamp oil?

Qi Qian took a deep breath and stepped forward:

"Come on, we're running out of time."

*

The hallway was grey.

Wen Jianyan walked forward slowly, raised her eyes to look at the patio in front of her, which was not bright, but also not shrouded in darkness. A peaceful mist was reflected in her eyes.

The closed door of the store passed by, the glass door was closed, and it was dark inside.

But Wen Jianyan didn't try to get closer to see what the shops were selling.

After all, the darkness in this dungeon is not ordinary darkness. Without oil lamps to illuminate it, all voyeurism is meaningless.

"Wenwen, are you cold?"

On the side, An Xin walked beside him, graciously greeted him, and sounded extraordinarily noisy:

"Wen Wen, are you tired?"

Wen Jianyan: "..."

Not to mention what his true gender is, normal humans wouldn't be tired and cold within two minutes of leaving the store, right?

[Integrity First] In the live broadcast room:

"Hahahahahaha laughed to death, although the anchor still smiled as if he was very gentle, but I seemed to see the bars that jumped on his temple."

"Hahahahaha Wenwen: Shut up you."

"I think the anchor is starting to regret teaming up with this guy."

"Hahahahahahaha, I think he has begun to consider the possibility of setting off a skirt to scare this fool."

Wen Jianyan listened to An Xin's babble one after another, turned her head and swept through the shop doors beside her, counting silently in her heart.

As he had guessed, the number of shops on the second floor was far less than that on the first floor.

The area of ​​the shops has become larger and the distance from each other is farther, and the number should be only half of the first floor.

However, according to Wen Jianyan's calculations, up to now, it should be enough.

After all, the number of anchor teams has been less than the number of stores on the first floor from the very beginning. In addition, there are several teams that did not quickly find out the rules of the dungeon, and were unlucky and destroyed soon after they started, even if all the teams after them succeeded. Survive, the number of shops on the second floor should be sufficient.

but……

If the number of stores will continue to decrease with each floor level, it will be difficult to say whether it will be enough in the future.

Wen Jianyan narrowed her eyes.

After all, the team is based here, and conflicts are avoided in the early stage, in order to leave enough people to find out the rules of the copy, but once it reaches the later stage, conflicts between teams are unavoidable.

That is to say...

Once the survival rate of a certain floor is high, the stores on the next floor may not be enough.

By then, I am afraid there will be a brutal fight.

Aside, An Xin was still talking non-stop:

"...Speaking of which, Wen Wen, what type of man do you like? Gentle? Powerful? Good figure?"

Wen Jianyan: "..."

The train of thought was interrupted, Gan.

Suddenly, the girl in the white dress stopped, turned her head, and looked at the man beside her seriously:

"An Xin."

"Don't worry, Zhang Yu will be fine."

Under the dim light, the pair of amber eyes of the other party shone with brilliance, and the streamer shone with a touch of tenderness and concern.

"...?!"

An Xin was surprised. His cynical expression suddenly froze on his face, like a mask that was abruptly peeled off, and he looked almost embarrassed.

The next second, a soft and slender hand covered the back of his hand.

The girl in front of her smiled reassuringly:

"If you don't want to speak, we can continue to move forward quietly, I don't mind."

"..."

An Xin stared at the other party, momentarily dumbfounded.

He admits that his talkativeness and frivolity are almost all due to hidden worries, so he needs to put on a playboy attitude that doesn't mind, so as to hide his worries and urgency, but... He didn't expect that Wen Wen was so keen, that he could see through his deep anxiety at a glance, and directly pierced through his disguised ease.

...It's almost like he can read minds, it's really overwhelming.

He lowered his head and was a little frustrated for a while:

"it is good."

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"I have to say that the anchor is really accurate in seeing people. An Xin rarely picked up girls regardless of the occasion before. This time, it is estimated that at least 50% of them are to cover up their emotions."

"Hahahahaha but I can guarantee that the main purpose of what the anchor said just now was to shut him up, not to comfort him."

"On the surface: I understand you, you don't need to force a smile. Inside: Be quiet, please."

"I'm dying of laughter, Tie Shixin Wen Jianyan!"

The ear was finally quiet, and Wen Jianyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Now I can finally concentrate on thinking.

He turned his head and looked at the dead and dead corridor in front of him, then lowered his head and glanced at the time displayed on the screen of his mobile phone.

There are ten minutes left until the end of fifteen minutes.

Should be soon.

Suddenly, An Xin stopped abruptly and raised his hand to block Wen Jianyan:

"Wait a moment."

The cynical expression just now faded from his face, and the bottom of his eyes was serious and condensed.

"Don't go forward yet."

An Xin stared at not far away.

Between a wall between the two shops, a dark corridor slowly emerged, and the winding stairs led down. In the dead silence, the footsteps of a group of people were slowly approaching.

A team is going upstairs.

And, there are quite a few.

Although the expression on his face was not obvious, Wen Jianyan's nerves were also slightly tense, and the bottom of his eyes was gleaming, staring at the stairs not far away.

coming.

There is of course a reason why he chose to leave the store to explore outside.

Just before Qi Qian assigned the task, Wen Jianyan had simply walked around the store.

He soon realized that the special goods on the second floor were not as easy to distinguish as those on the first floor.

Although the human leather clothes on the first floor look exactly the same as ordinary clothes, they have the real touch of human skin, but the goods sold in the shops on the second floor are not so easy to distinguish.

All electrical appliances have the same metal frame and casing, and even if there are any features, they should be tightly hidden under the casing.

For him, an anchor who has no relevant psychic perception talent and only relies on observation and logical inference, it is probably useless to stay in the store to continue exploring. It is better to leave this kind of thing to a professional psychic medium.

more importantly……

Compared with the ignorant Dark Fire anchor, Wen Jianyan is aware of his current situation - I am afraid that there is a team hidden in the dark watching them quietly, looking for opportunities to start.

The opposite may be the anchor of the oracle, or it may be a team hired by the oracle. No matter where it is, they are absolutely prudent and experienced.

Wen Jianyan guessed that the other party is likely to become the second team to enter the second floor.

Because he will do the same.

Not only can it evaluate the strength of the opponent, but also reduce the vigilance of the opponent, and at the same time, it will not fall too far behind, leaving a part of the reaction time for oneself.

If the other party is number one, let them be number one, and then with proper operation, they can become a well-known target.

If not, it means that they are too weak, and they can be eliminated directly in the next layer without worrying too much.

An Xin narrowed his eyes and watched vigilantly at the stairway that suddenly appeared not far away.

Due to the particularity of his talent, although he is not worried about his own safety, the problem is that An Xin did not come out alone this time. Since he was accompanied by a teammate who had no combat experience, he had to be somewhat restrained.

An Xin looked at Wen Jianyan beside him and whispered:

"Let's go, let's not conflict with them for now..."

"Need not."

Unexpectedly, Wen Jianyan shook his head and looked at him very calmly: "Leaving now will not be worth the loss."

An Xin was startled, and some did not respond.

"We are too far from the store to disappear immediately before they come up. The other party is also an experienced team. There may be prophets and mediums with high inspiration in the team. Maybe they have realized our existence now. "The girl raised her head, her face was fair, her lines were soft, her eyes were gentle, and she didn't seem to be aggressive.

she says:

"In their eyes, our retreat will become a sign of weakness."

"We were the first team to come to the second floor, but when the second team came up, we chose to avoid its edge, which shows that we have the resources but not the ability."

Wen Jianyan tilted her head, almost innocent in her eyes.

"Guess what the teams who realize this will do if it really comes time to fight?"

...will be eaten.

As the other party spoke lightly, An Xin's expression gradually became dignified, gloomy as if he could wring out the water.

He understood what Wen Wen meant.

In the team book, bloody cannibalism is unavoidable, resources will become less and less in the later stage, and conflicts between anchors will only intensify, not slow down.

When it comes time to have to eliminate opponents, the anchor team that performed outstandingly in the early stage and received too much resources is a very conspicuous target. If they show weakness again, they will likely become the first to be united and eliminated. team.

Even if they're not really weak, there's a good chance they'll be a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

This is the law of the jungle.

"So, we can't go."

The girl laughed suddenly, and in the depths of her gentle eyes like water, there was a ferocious gleam that no one could detect.

The beast in the coat of lamb showed sharp and sharp claws.

——To be precise, from the very beginning, Wen Jianyan had the idea of ​​meeting the other side by a narrow path.

"Don't worry, it'll be alright."

He said with a gentle smile.
