Chapter 260
The other party was sitting in front of the bar drinking wine, and seeing Gu Wuji's eyes widened in surprise, "You are still alive."
Gu Wuji sat beside the brown-haired woman, looked at her and said, "Thank you for your reminder yesterday."
No matter how you look at this brown-haired woman, she is an important NPC. Yesterday, she kindly reminded him, and the other party's attitude seemed to be a little loose. Gu Wuji immediately began to ask what happened.
The brown-haired woman shook her head, "My reminder is useless. Those who stay here can't get out, but you are still alive, maybe he is quite interested in you..."
"Actually, I also noticed that there is something strange in this research institute." Gu Wuji said, "Can I know why?"
The brown-haired woman gave Gu Wuji a deep look, as if she had noticed something. She changed her mind, her expression became complicated, and she whispered: "Anyway, you will know sooner or later... It doesn't matter what I say now."
Gu Wuji also took a drink and listened carefully.
"You should have heard the story of the daughter of the sea." The brown-haired woman said: "The mermaid in the story can be said to be kind and beautiful. But the real mermaid is not like this... They are very ferocious and have terrible The strength can easily tear people to pieces."
"In the beginning, mermaids were only legendary existences, and no one thought they existed." The brown-haired woman said: "But the people at the institute discovered the traces of mermaids, and they were ecstatic. After spending countless money and manpower and material resources, they finally captured the mermaid and tried to study him and get benefits from him."
Gu Wuji nodded, what happened was similar to what he thought. But what happened after that is not expected to be that simple, otherwise they and these players would not be here.
"And the people in the research institute even thought that they would become famous because of this, and even took blood from the mermaid, and created a lot of test items based on these... Everything was going on in an orderly manner, but what happened next, It's beyond everyone's imagination..."
Cold sweat dripped down the brown-haired woman's face, and she seemed to remember something that made her extremely afraid, and her hands trembled.
"That merman, he... was caught on purpose."
Chapter 120 The Ninth Dungeon
"What?" Gu Wuji actually didn't think this development was very surprising. If everyone else could be a villain boss, would they still lack such strength, but he still showed a surprised look politely.
"As long as those who enter this institute are divided into two types, one is those who can hear the mermaid's voice, and the other is not. And there is no pattern in this, the first to hear the voice Yes, it's Fiona."
Hearing the brown-haired woman mentioning Fiona, Gu Wuji couldn't help but pay attention.
The brown-haired woman said: "I was very happy when I heard the voice at first, thinking that I was the one chosen by heaven, and that I was able to interact with this legendary creature, and my status in the research institute also increased. ...and I am no exception."
"So it is." Gu Wuji probably realized why they were so despised because they didn't hear the sound, and they were regarded as pào ash that didn't matter if they were sent to feed.
"But as time passed, the voices in our minds became more and more noisy and weird, making it difficult to sleep, and often hallucinations." The brown-haired woman said: "Just doing nothing will be swayed in our minds. The influence of the sound is crazy, as if there are countless people talking in your ear..."
"This kind of situation cannot be relieved at all, and after the situation has gradually deepened, even leaving here will only make the symptoms more severe. Those who left were found dead on the way, with relief on their faces when they died. smile."
The brown-haired woman said, and her speech became more and more rapid, "The person who has hallucinations is like being cursed by him, and there is no way to deal with him. It is better to say that dying in hallucinations is our relief."
"But even so, maybe this is his revenge." Gu Wuji said, this is what puzzled him the most, "After all, it was caught here by humans, so it can't be said that it was deliberately caught."
"No, as long as he thinks, he can kill all of us here and leave here in an instant. His power is simply beyond human beings. From the beginning, he came here to find someone." The brown-haired woman's His face turned pale, and his voice trembled a little, "The reason why you all came here is because of this. If he is a monster, you are the chosen sacrifice."
"Find someone?"
But after Gu Wuji asked the question, footsteps were heard outside, and it seemed that someone was about to come in.
The brown-haired woman's face became extremely ugly in an instant, she put down the wine glass in her hand, and said hurriedly next to Gu Wuji's ear, "If you want to leave, you must seize the opportunity tomorrow, and then someone will come in through other places. Send some supplies and you can escape with them."
"Why do you help me like this?" Even if Gu Wuji believes that there is true love in the world, the other party has revealed too much information to him at once.
"I just, don't want him to make another mistake."
As soon as the voice fell, the brown-haired woman turned around and hurriedly left from the door on the other side.
"Wait—" Gu Wuji chased after him, but after opening the door, he saw nothing.
Even behind this door is just a warehouse, and there is no other exit at all.
Gu Wuji turned his head again, and there was no trace of the wine glass on the table, as if it had never been there.
. He immediately fell into silence, and with his years of experience in fighting ghosts, he immediately understood that the brown-haired woman he met was probably a ghost from the beginning.
"Who is the last he mentioned in her words?"
No matter how he thought about it, Gu Wuji felt that he was not referring to the mermaid.
At this time, the door here was finally pushed open, and it was other players who came in. Lu Yuanzhou was also in the group, and he used his eyes to imply Gu Wuji not to act rashly.
Gu Wuji noticed that the number of players who came in was one or two less than the number of players before, presumably someone had died in this dungeon...
After the crowd came in, a player named Falcon in this group said that he had something to say. He is the boss of the male player that Gu Wuji met before feeding the mermaid. It is said that he is also very famous, although Gu Wuji has never heard of this person.
However, everyone faintly heard that this person has a bad reputation, and the team that had been together several times was destroyed, which made people feel a little worried.
"We have been working on this dungeon for two days. Everyone has already investigated it." Falcon said, "Our goal is now very clear."
The rest of the people had a look of fear on their faces. Originally, according to their attitude from the beginning, it was impossible for them to have any deep contact with each other. But at this time, considering that Falcon probably knew something they didn't know, they didn't refute, they all nodded.
Only Gu Wuji was still in a daze and asked, "What is our goal?"
The people around fell into silence, and several people looked over in surprise. They didn't expect him to say such a thing. Obviously, Gu Wuji was really regarded as a vase.
That is to say, the two people who have had contact with Gu Wuji have subtle expressions. They all know that Gu Wuji is a really powerful person. It can only be said that the big guy has personality.
Falcon himself didn't expect anyone else to ask. He looked at Gu Wuji as if he was looking at a primary school student, and then gestured to the male player's younger brother with his eyes. It's impossible for a boss like him to explain it himself.
The younger brother immediately explained, "You may not have known the situation when you were gone just now. A lot of things happened today, and the people in the institute have no intention of continuing to work, so let us come back first. Seize this opportunity, the boss just hypnotized an NPC. , the other party will reveal everything they know."
Speaking of this, the younger brother's face showed a proud expression of honor and pride, and he felt that it was too reliable to hug his thighs.
Falcon is most famous for his ability to hypnotize. As long as there are NPCs in the dungeon, he can basically rely on this ability to quickly get news, which makes everyone envious.
Other players also have their own means more or less. They have already learned a lot of news when they are sent to attack the researchers, but it is impossible to say it casually at this time.
The next thing that little brother said was similar to what Gu Wuji knew from the brown-haired woman, but then it was different. The npc seemed to be inclined to think that the mermaid was revenge on everyone in this institute, and to torture everyone to death. people.
But Fiona has researched how to calm down the mermaid. The clearer the person who hears the mermaid's voice, the more adaptable and the mermaid, the faster the hallucinations will appear. Killing such a person as a sacrifice to the human fish will make the human fish fall asleep for a while.
