Chapter 295: Climbing the Tower (Part 2)

The four of them had just greeted each other and were about to start discussing the next strategy. However, the chief's expression changed and he said: "Everyone... everything in my inventory has turned gray. Do you have this situation?"

At his reminder, the other three people also opened the game menu and checked the inventory.

"Me too, everything is gray and nothing can be taken out." Qiu Fengse continued.

"Same." Feng Bujue followed.

Honghu said directly: "Is this the restriction given to us by the script..." He paused, "But there is no hint about this?"

The Comptroller is a conservative strategist. His thinking may not be as fast as those of his teammates, but he thinks things through very carefully and always thinks twice before acting. After listening to Honghu's words, he realized another problem: "What if... there are other restrictions? For example..."

"Time." Qiu Fengse took over his words and said: "Suppose this script only updates the tasks, and does not give us any other system prompts. All settings and rules need to be explored by ourselves. Then the most likely to lead to the destruction of the group The factor is time.”

Honghu nodded and said: "It is indeed possible... What if this script hides a time limit, and we don't know the rules at all, and we still explore around slowly..."

"Time limit or something, I should be able to find relevant tips soon." Feng Bujue interjected in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Hmm... that's right." Honghu followed Brother Jue's words and pondered: "There are no rules that can't be broken at all. If there is a time limit, there will definitely be similar plots or hints, and they will be in the script. To show up early, then to show up when we are obviously running out of time, or even to not give any prompt at all, would be too..." Before he could finish his words, he stopped himself.

Honghu turned his head. He pushed up his glasses and looked at Feng Bujue with a suspicious look.

Qiu Fengse and Controller Yu Zhong hesitated for a moment, then understood something, and both moved their gazes to Feng Bujue.

"What?" Feng Bujue immediately pretended to be stupid and said, "Did I say something wrong? In fact, I thought... with you guys here, no matter what the restrictions or puzzles are, they will be solved quickly. So just say it casually.”

"Uh..." Honghu laughed dryly and said: "No, no, you are right, I have a talent for solving puzzles, haha..." In fact, he was thinking in his heart: Tsk...that's what he meant, just say it casually. empty talk of optimism. The tone was so calm and confident, I thought you had guessed it instantly, which shocked me.

Qiu Feng and the Chief also shrugged with noncommittal expressions.

On the other hand, Feng Bujue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: I accidentally said the conclusion that popped into my head... Fortunately, I didn't say much, so I got through it. It's not okay to continue like this. This is not the attitude that should be taken when making soy sauce. From now on, I'd better stop thinking and think about something else... Right. Thinking that Xiyu's condition has improved, well... the beauty with a fever...

"Hey...why did this guy suddenly show a rather vulgar expression..." Qiu Feng said softly to the chief accountant beside him: "I was just praised by Honghu. As for this kind of reaction..."

The Controller swallowed: "Is he a [beep——] guy..."

"That word is somewhat insulting, it has to be about homosexuality." Qiu Feng lowered his voice a little lower.

"Hey...you still understand after being blocked..." the comptroller whispered.

Honghu looked at Feng Bujue's face that was drooling and full of silly smiles. I am even more convinced that this guy is a cheating player. The title Dark Pioneer probably refers to the fact that he often joined the villain camp in some previous scripts, or used some stealth skills.

"But... having said that." Honghu muttered to himself: "Did Qiu Feng and the Controller know each other before... It doesn't sound like their conversation. How come they got together and whispered together so quickly? ...Hey, hey...did that lip-syncing just now say 'gay'...could it be that these two guys... fell in love at first sight?"

It's only been a few minutes. This group of "smart people" who have their own hidden agendas have caused many unclear misunderstandings...

"Hmm... Anyway, judging from the only hints at the moment, which is the opening cg, the 'Mystery Club' is probably in this building." Honghu said with a slightly raised voice.

Qiu Feng continued: "If 'Mystery Club' refers to this entire building, this script is too simple. It is impossible to pass the level just by walking in the door."

The comptroller added: "That must refer to a certain room in this building."

"Hmm..." The three of them hummed together, and their standing postures imitated Shinichi's movements.

At this time, Feng Bujue suddenly took out a magazine from his jacket pocket and said, "The items outside the bag seem to be usable."

After a while, Qiu Fengse seemed to have thought of something, and he took out something from his coat pocket, which turned out to be a small bag of chocolates. He tried it a few times and said, "But the items outside the bag can no longer be put into the bag."

"Basically, the luggage is equivalent to being sealed..." Honghu thought.

"Then all the props found can only be held in the hands or put in the pockets of clothes." The controller continued.

"Now that we have figured out this rule, we have a question... Should we enter the building directly, or explore the surrounding map first?" Qiu Feng said: "Leave aside the time limit that I don't know exists, if we choose to go to the city When exploring equipment and props, even if you find some valuable items, you can only take them with you, such as relatively large standard weapons, controlled knives, etc. It is not appropriate to carry them around the market. "

"And... the limited luggage means that if a battle is triggered, we can only face the enemy with bare hands." The chief added: "Although I am not incapable of fighting, after all, this is not what I am good at..."

Honghu nodded slightly and continued: "It makes sense, but I think it is better to at least observe the surroundings first." He explained: "First of all, we don't know if we can come out after entering this building. That kind of entrance will The setting of automatic closing is very common; secondly, the starting coordinate after we enter the script is at the door of the building, not inside the door of the building. This also shows that there is something to explore outside the building, otherwise the system would not It’s unnecessary.”

"Hmph... This 'wise general' is really quite capable." Feng Bujue thought to himself, "Even if the system doesn't give any prompts, it can still make reasonable guesses based on the extremely limited known information."

Qiu Feng and Chief Accountant agreed to Hong Hu's suggestion, so Feng Bujue naturally followed the trend. The four of them decided to split up and quickly explore the half-kilometer radius around the building to see the general situation of the script.

This "general situation" includes a lot of content, such as... what era, what country, and what city this is, whether it is completely fictional or has a real prototype, and whether the plot is adapted from other works or purely temporary. Are there any zombies in the city? Are there any aliens? Is it haunted? Is there any superhero fuss?

These are all detectable. You can confirm many things by just picking up a tattered newspaper on the road or picking up a functioning public phone. For these decryption-type players, completing this most basic level of intelligence collection is quite easy.

It's a pity that in this script, they didn't have the opportunity to use this skill.

Ten minutes later, four people gathered at the door of the building from four directions, and three of them looked unhappy.

"From the newspapers and the signs of roadside shops, it seems that the language here is German, but the system does not provide any translation." Qiu Fengse said.

"There were not many pedestrians on the road, and they were all Caucasian. I spoke in Chinese, but they just pretended not to hear." The comptroller continued: "I didn't dare to use force to stop them. After all, it would be detrimental to us to attract the police or something like that. "

"Judging from the clothing of pedestrians, the appearance of public facilities, and the vehicles on the road, this should be the beginning of the 21st century. It's hard to say the location, and there are quite a few German-speaking areas." Honghu said: "Because the language and writing are not clear, then Plus there’s no currency here, so it’s really hard to know much without breaking the law or using force.”

Feng Bujue was the last to speak: "I borrowed some change and his mobile phone from a young man in his twenties, and tried many numbers such as 110, 119, 120, 114, 10086, etc., but none of them worked." He After a pause: "Then I used the change to buy some snacks from the convenience store." He patted his bulging pockets: "If you want to eat..."

"Hey! This is not the point!" Qiu Feng interrupted him: "Since you understand German, you should ask him some useful information, such as the specific age and location of the script, and have you heard of the 'Mystery Club'? Category."

"Who said I understand German?" Feng Bujue asked.

"Huh?" said the chief accountant: "Then how do you borrow... wait..." He seemed to understand: "You shouldn't..."

"I stopped the young man and tried to communicate with him in Chinese and English, but failed." Feng Bujue narrated calmly; "So I picked up a brick, pulled his collar and said He said two sentences in German, namely 'I'm so mad at you' and 'I'm a scumbag if you get in the way', and then he gave me his phone and wallet."

"God..." Honghu covered his face with one hand and shook his head.

The corners of Qiufeng's mouth twitched: "Isn't this just robbery on the road..."

"Hey...Ban'er Zhuan is the international language." The chief sighed.

Honghu added: "We'd better enter the building...if the police arrive, the noise will get bigger..."

Feng Bujue shrugged expressionlessly: "Okay." (To be continued...)
