139. Trigger conditions(1/2)
There is a "small villa" not far from the cemetery, which has now become a place for You Huo and the others to rest. In conjunction with the rumors of the criminals, this is the old nest.
This house is actually an exhibition hall of a small town cemetery. There are simple cafes and dining seats on the second floor, surrounded by windows on all sides, and the view is very wide, suitable for these people to observe the dynamics outside.
The first floor is very strange, with photos of all sizes hanging on all four walls. A sign stands beside the door, which says: You can commemorate anyone here.
The frames are all black, and the photos are also leftover photos. There are tens of thousands of late people in Brandon Town, and they should be hanging here. Everyone has no expression on their faces, just like a flowing line.
When I first stepped into this place, several students almost turned around and ran away.
But they finally set the "old nest" here because there is a storage room underground, enough to hold the mirror people in the next town. All the ones they caught are tied inside.
Ordinary townsmen are not close to here at all, and candidates dare not come in.
Even mirror people will become honest and quiet here, because their own photos are nailed to the wall, like a proof, naked reminding: You can no longer be called living people.
You Huo tied the newly captured two people to the pillar in the center of the first floor, and looked at them with tens of thousands of faces expressionlessly.
The person who was still stubborn five minutes ago called him on the spot: "My name is natt. This statement is indeed...it is indeed the first one I found, because I happened to enter the examination room from this place."
"This conversion condition seems a bit difficult. I don't dare to try it myself, so I just led a few people over." Natt's English accent was very heavy and he spoke intermittently and very slowly.
"How many people?" Qin asked.
“Four.”
Natt glanced at Yves beside him and said, "The other three people were very hesitant. I think they must be scared. Only he quickly transformed himself into a mirror person. So I followed him quietly, wanting to see if he was going well. By the way... by the way, I cut off the half of the instructions."
You Huo asked: "Why did you cut it?"
natt: "Hide it."
You Huo didn't say anything, but his face was shaky, "Are you a fool?"
Such fucking conditions, people are really a baby? It's just an eye-opener.
Natt's lips squirmed.
He seemed to want to refute something, but he swallowed it again when he was at his mouth.
Obviously, this person still wants to keep some foundation, but he doesn't want to shake everything out so quickly.
After asking a few times, it still failed. Qin Jue nodded: "Okay."
He stood up and said to Youhuo, "Wait for me." Then he turned around and walked upstairs.
natt looked at Qin Jue's calm back, and was inexplicably nervous.
After a while, Qin Jue got down again, holding a ball of stuff in his hand.
Before natt could see clearly, yves next to him reacted violently. He panted, trying to break free from the rope, and his whole body became anxious.
Natt's face changed and he finally got it.
It's blood!
Qin Jue carried a ball of blood-soaked gauze and hung straight in front of Yves' nose. The smell of blood stimulated Yves' nerves and gradually lost control.
You Huo clamped yves' shoulders and twisted the direction.
The candidate natt opened his mouth to him with hunger.
"I said!" natt rolled to the ground, twisting like a big white worm: "You pull him away! Pull him away!"
When Di Li heard the movement, he ran down and took away the gauze from Qin Jue's hand and threw it away to avoid causing internal commotion among his teammates.
Qin Jue said thank you and rubbed a little blood from his fingertips on the edge of his collar.
yves stared at the piece straight, bared his teeth and was about to come over, natt was going crazy.
"You guys, you're simply-" natt held it in for a long time, and said, "Rogue! Robber!"
You Huo said "Oh".
Qin Jue smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise. But you can't escape anymore. Rather than cursing, it's better to say something useful?"
Natt was exhausted by them. He collapsed on the pillar and said with a throwing jar: "Before I entered this examination room, I actually found a way to ask for some information. You know, some rest areas can get some information as long as they have something in their hands. I asked some people who have experienced it, and they were very lucky. Someone happened to mention this scene in the joint examination room."
Qin Jue said: "The examination content of this joint examination room is different every time."
natt: "But the background is similar, the main core is always similar, right? Besides, I asked myself to calm down. It is better to know more than to know nothing."
"What did you ask?" You Huo asked.
Natt said: "The most critical thing in this exam is to survive. Didn't you notice it? The previous question only talked about how to kill mirror people and how to kill town people. It didn't say how many days we have to take and how to end it. It is said that this exam room is triggered, and when a certain condition is met, the system will say the final requirements."
"The trigger conditions are different every time, and I can't guess. But no matter what, the candidates are completely passive. No one knows when that condition will be triggered. Before that, I must ensure that I am alive. Whether it is a town citizen or a mirror person, as long as I am alive."
"Obviously, it's easier to survive by becoming a mirror person." natt, "Otherwise, the longer it takes to spend in this exam room, the more dangerous the townspeople. Because the power balance is too different. I know you think it's too difficult to get 100 townspeople. If a mirror person can change one town person every three days. If 100 people are, it will take a year to spend. right?"
He tsk, shook his head and said, "Actually not, I checked it. For example, if I transform you, then you are my child-"
He spoke proudly. He looked up at the cold gaze of the upstream Huo Bingbing, swallowed again and changed his mouth: "You have converted me, I am your child... No, subordinate. In short, if you wait for three more days, you and I can each change a township. The one I converted will also accumulate into your number. Do you understand? Then in three days, each of the four of us can convert one more, and these will still accumulate into your number."
"It's like a tree. I'm a branch, and all the fruits grown from the branches are mine. And you are the trunk, including me, all the fruits on the branches are yours. In this way, it won't take you a long time for 100 townsmen."
"You know, the exam time in the joint examination room is always very long, and I guess at least I have to get this number." He stretched out three fingers and said, "Because there are many people, the situation is complicated, and the questions are tricky, it is good to end thirty days. So before the exam is over, you will definitely be able to meet the conditions and transfer back to the townsmen."
Natt said as he raised his eyes, the two men's expressions remained unchanged, and they could not see their inner thoughts at all.
But it doesn't matter, he firmly believed that these words were enough to let the other party understand the situation.
"I know, you really want to convert back to ordinary townsmen," said natt. "And I want to live safer. How about we cooperate? I can use the identity of an ordinary person to attract townsmen and candidates, ensure that you have enough blood to drink, and ensure that there are enough people to convert...the premise is to ensure my safety."
Qin Jue's mouth was about to draw a sarcastic arc, and natt quickly added: "There is another kind! I voluntarily let you change, you will turn me into a mirror person, and then I will catch other townsmen and candidates, one to two, two to four, four to eight. As long as you calculate the people and time, you will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort, saving time and effort."
natt waited carefully for the two people to speak: "What do you think?"
You Huo looked down at him for a while, bent down and asked, "What do you think?"
natt: "What a good deal."
Two minutes later, natt rolled into the ground with his business, tied his face to face with the hungry yves, surrounded by a hundred equally hungry mirror people.
Natt fainted with a whine.
If you exchange others for your own business, you will not be able to do it.
Whether it is 100 for 1 or 1 for 1.
The three walls on the first floor are all covered with photos, and there are only a large blank space on the fourth side, leaving space for the remaining townspeople and candidates.
Qin Jue stood in front of the wall, looking at a black photo frame, with You Huo's face in the photo frame.
Like other mirrors, he was expelled from the ranks of living people and hung in this showroom.
The photos are the system default, similar to those on the admission ticket, except that your shoulders and chest are exposed, and you can also see the edge of the back of the sofa where You Huo is sitting.
He wanted to ask You Huo if this photo was his own or the system captured it. But before he could speak, he suddenly felt enlightened.
Because when he looked at this photo, a scene suddenly appeared in his mind...
It was one night, he was discussing things in a colleague's room, or chatting? He couldn't remember it.
Judging from a few names with vague impressions, he should have just become an invigilator at that time, and it was not 001.
In the living room, there are two huge floor-to-ceiling windows beside the sofa, forming a transparent angle. If you don’t pull the curtains, you can clearly see everything outside the window.
There was a voice beside him, and he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a glass cup and looked opposite him.
Through the dark night, he could see another house, and the living room also had large floor-to-ceiling windows, facing the direction he was standing.
He even remembered that there was a simple floor lamp in that corner, next to it was a gray-blue sofa.
He pointed his finger with the cup and asked someone beside him, "Whose house is across from him?"
"Examination a." The colleague replied.
The ice cube hit the wall of the cup, and Qin Jue said lightly.
"What?" asked the colleague.
"It's nothing, just ask." Qin Jue said.
"Don't stand here. He has always disliked this open design. It's time to close the curtains in a while." The colleague said again.
Qin Jue responded lazily, but did not want to move.
The floor-to-ceiling lamp and wall light in the living room are intertwined, shining on the window glass.
You Huo's tall figure came down from the stairs. He walked to the side of the coffee table, bent down and picked up a remote control, as if he was going to close the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
He paused suddenly before pressing the button, turned to look here.
It took him a long time to turn around.
He threw the remote control back to his original position, sat down on the sofa, unbuttoned his cufflinks and lowered his head to open the documents on the coffee table.
...
"Why are you stunned?" You Huo's voice sounded.
Qin Jue turned to look at him.
For a moment, he couldn't even react a little. He was stunned for two seconds before he came to his senses - the person in the scene was right beside him, there was no window glass between them, no night, and within reach.
To be continued...
