Chapter 1613 Another person is missing


    Seeing that Xu Huo seemed to be particularly interested in the fungi in Area 013, the people in Brown Skin City talked a lot about fungi. Unlike the books that focused on describing the growth characteristics, they would explain in detail the state after being parasitized by fungi. , such as what kind of symptoms will occur, what the pain will feel like, or the parasite of certain fungi can offset the side effects caused by a certain fungus in the body.


    They seem to be accustomed to suffering, and they will specially pick out some interesting fungi to entertain the players who are listening, such as inhaling the spores of a certain choking fungus and sneezing from morning to night for ten days and a half. You have to take time to drink water. Another example is some fungi that can cause people to twitch at regular intervals or when they hear certain sounds.


    "The boy from the Li family on our street just ate the typhoid bacteria and would lie down when he was excited. He could barely hold it in after several attacks, but on the wedding day, he would eat all the stuff in front of the bride''s family. The floor of the house has been mopped, and I can’t even press it..."


    The people in District 013 said something very interesting, and they started laughing as they talked.


    “What happened next?” Tong Qi asked with interest.


    "He was so happy on the day the child was born that he couldn''t wake up after being whipped." The brown leather city man who told the "joke" said: "It didn''t take long for the child to follow the father. The mother couldn''t accept it, so she went on a hunger strike and died."


    "Hunger strike is a relatively peaceful way to die in Area 013." Chi Xian suddenly said: "There is a kind of fungus with anesthetic effect that will release venom after the host stops eating for more than ten hours. No matter what he eats, he will have to die anyway. Eat something to wake up. When the host is unconscious, you cannot wake him up directly. If you let it go, the person will be eaten by other fungi in a short period of time. "


    “But the process is not painful. What is painful is the choice to end one’s life.”


    “Isn’t that similar to our situation?” Liao Xiaorong said.


    "After entering Area 013, players will be infected with fungi to some extent, and poisoning is normal. However, if you wake up after anesthesia, there will be sequelae of weakness in the limbs, dizziness and brain swelling, which is different." Chi Xian replied.


    At this point, both the listeners and the speakers were a little unable to go on. The people in Brownskin City were not so numb that they gave up on life and death completely, and the players who were accustomed to killing were not so cold-blooded that they were unfazed by the tragedy. Both sides You can''t change reality, you can only choose to avoid it.


    In this dungeon, it is easier to get sleepy than usual during the vigil. Tong Qi was about to say something to liven up the atmosphere when suddenly Xu Huo pushed him away and stood in front of a support pillar ten meters away. He stretched out his hand as if to grab something. But it came to nothing.


    Tong Qi, Chi Xian and others followed, looking at a small stool still on the ground, their expressions changed slightly.


    ??Liao Xiaorong took out the monitor placed in the corner and dialed back the content from a minute ago.


    It was normal at first, but just about ten seconds ago, the screen suddenly flickered a few times and then fell into a brief darkness. When it lit up again, Zhao Qing, who was sitting peacefully against the pillar, disappeared - she was in front of everyone. Except for Xu Huo and Chi Xian, who just happened to see it, no one else even noticed that such a person was missing.


    ??Everyone who watched the video fell silent.


    After a while, Liao Xiaorong asked: "There are so many people here, why is only Zhao Qing disappearing? Is it random?"


    "It''s over, it''s over, I don''t dare to sleep anymore." Another player said: "If I fall asleep and get sucked into other dimensions, wouldn''t it be the only way to death?"


    "Zhao Qing must be asleep." Xu Huo said at this time: "So far, who has seen someone disappear while awake?"


    At any rate, Tongqi and the others don’t have it.


    "What happened in the dungeon should not be as simple as random, not to mention that this is a spiritual dungeon." Chi Xian touched his chin and said: "Maybe there is something special about the missing person."


    "What''s so special?" Tong Qi pondered for a moment, "For Zhao Qing alone, I think she has some mental problems." To fight against drowsiness and to be alert to other players, many players present today are actually not in the best condition.


    “Is it related to mental strength?” scarred glasses looked at Xu Huo.


    "It''s hard to be sure," Xu Huo said: "Judging from the current situation, there is no unified standard."


    Normally, people with weaker mental strength are more likely to be affected, but when they fell asleep for the first time, he and Zhao Qing both dreamed in a very short period of sleep, while others, such as Scar Glasses, fell asleep for the first time without dreaming. , the second time Liao Xiaorong fell asleep, she also had a dream.


    This may be due to two factors, one is mental intensity, and the other is sleep time.


    There are not enough samples, and it is difficult to determine whether the disappearance is directly related to these two factors.


    "Is it possible that only sleeping people will be sucked into other spaces?" Tong Qi guessed: "Or it will only happen at night. Anyway, I haven''t heard of anyone missing suddenly during the day."


    ??Other than a few remaining traces of spatial fluctuations that can be detected using props and instruments, there are no other valuable clues.


    "What kind of dungeon is this?" Tong Qi muttered, "There aren''t many hints in the background. It''s just a fake story. It''s the same in the dungeon. There are no hints, so who knows what to do."


    "Isn''t it already very obvious?" Liao Xiaorong said: "The purpose of the game background is to let you find the answer in your sleep. Anyway, the limit is stretched. When the copy is about to end, you will either die or find the ''Midsummer Night Star River'' to clear the level. There is no other way."


    ?Tong Qi rolled his eyes and said nothing.


    After the discussion was fruitless, everyone went back to rest. No matter whether Zhao Qing died or passed the level, everyone agreed that she would never come back.


    Xu Huo sat back down in his previous position, but he was thinking about another thing.


    Among all his props, only the "Idealistic Door" can clearly open overlapping spaces. Although the introduction of the props points to the spiritual world, the spaces that can be opened must actually exist, and the spaces that can be constructed in the spiritual world are also Same, mandatory and objective.


    The next time someone goes missing, maybe you can try the "Idealistic Door".


    ?However, this is also very risky, because if you can get in, you may not be able to get out. If this overlapping space has nothing to do with clearing the level and is only used to remove players, it will be very dangerous to enter.


    “Someone is coming.” Chi Xian suddenly reminded in a low voice.


    Xu Huo turned around and saw two seriously injured players jumping off the opposite building while supporting each other, rushing towards the clock tower. The following players could still be seen faintly behind them.


    The three people who were following them stopped when they saw that the two injured people had entered within 100 meters of the clock tower, and did not forcefully move forward.
