Chapter 1183 Invisible Man
"Are you trying to say that you didn't secretly put the graphite into our backpacks?" The doctor moved the muzzle of his gun towards Zhang Heng.
"That's right." Zhang Heng said calmly.
"This is impossible," the doctor said flatly. "Everyone's physical condition is deteriorating rapidly except for you. If the person who put graphite in our bags is not you, then he will only benefit you in the end. There is no explanation for this. It doesn’t make sense.”
"This really doesn't make sense." Zhang Heng also nodded.
Master Kui and other players had expressions of surprise on their faces, as if they didn't expect someone to admit it so readily. As a result, Zhang Heng continued, "Unless... the person who secretly put graphite in your bags is not Players."
"Not a player...what do you mean?" Mouse wondered.
The doctor said, "After we separated, the maintenance worker and I drove directly out of Pripyat. We were very cautious along the way and tried not to have contact with outsiders. I am sure that no one touched our body during this period." bag, so the piece of graphite was in the backpack before we separated, and we were all together at that time. Except for ourselves, it was impossible for anyone to put it into our backpack without knowing it. Stuff it, unless the guy is completely invisible.”
Zhang Heng ignored the doctor's last taunt and just asked, "Do you remember the name of this copy?"
"Invisible killer? Is there any problem with this? Haven't we already concluded before? The invisible killer is nuclear radiation." Kui Ye said.
"Nuclear radiation does meet the definition of an invisible killer. What's more, we encountered a nuclear explosion as soon as we entered the dungeon. We instinctively thought in this direction. At the beginning, I also tried to find the answer in this direction, and investigated step by step. The cause of the accident, but the result...as you can see, there is no change in the main mission."
"What else can you refer to as the invisible killer?" asked the young man who killed him.
"It doesn't mean anything, it just means it literally." Zhang Heng said, "The background of this copy has been deliberately misleading us and making the whole thing complicated."
"Literally? You don't really think there is an invisible killer lurking around us, do you?" The mouse shuddered and looked around, looking a little panicked.
"You guys, do you think we are fools?" The doctor didn't accept this at all and laughed angrily, "Are you really ready to blame all this on an invisible man?"
Even the young boy who had always supported Zhang Heng unconditionally found it difficult to accept this statement, "Invisible man... this is a bit too science fiction."
"No, you have misunderstood me." Zhang Heng said, "The teacher who taught me assassin skills once told me that the best way to disappear quickly in the world is to completely integrate into the surrounding environment and become part of it. A part of it.”
"So...for now, what is the fastest way to integrate into the environment?" Kui Ye said.
"Pretend to be a player."
Zhang Heng said lightly, "The mode of this dungeon is single-player collaboration, which means that the players in the dungeon are all cooperative. Although it is not ruled out that some players may kill people and steal goods, in general, the relationship between players in single-player cooperative dungeons is The relationship is still relatively harmonious, not to mention that the background of this instance is the famous Chernobyl accident. From the first second of the game, the shadow of death has been hanging over our heads, especially when we have no clue about the main mission. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for us to doubt our companions."
Zhang Heng paused and continued, "As I said before, this dungeon has been deliberately misleading us from the beginning. When we first entered the dungeon, there were seven of us in the same room. When we discovered that our When you are surrounded by players, you will naturally think that all seven of them are players. This is a kind of inertia in thinking."
"But then we all briefly introduced ourselves. At least I didn't hear anything wrong at that time. Even if the NPCs in the dungeon could mix in among us, it would be difficult for them to imitate our tone and way of speaking. And lastly What's important is understanding the real world." Although Kui Ye still disagreed with Zhang Heng's inference, she did start to think about this possibility.
"Of course ordinary NPCs can't, but someone can do it."
"who?"
"The master behind this copy." Zhang Heng said calmly.
"The owner behind this dungeon? Your stories are getting more and more ridiculous." The doctor sneered. "It is not ruled out that some gods will appear in the dungeon, but I have never heard of any god who will die in person. Participating in the game.”
"Others may not, but I know one person who will. In fact, I won't be surprised by anything he does." Zhang Heng said.
"Do you already know which god is behind this copy?" Kui Ye's eyes moved.
"Yes, Loki, the god of lies and tricks in Nordic mythology, is the one who hides among us to cause trouble." Zhang Heng said, "This is in line with his style of doing things."
"You said the god behind this copy is Loki? Where's the evidence? So far, all we've heard are your lies." The doctor said with an evil expression as he clenched the TT-33 in his hand.
"The evidence is hidden in every corner of the dungeon. Although Loki has always appeared as someone who can ignore the rules and tease people everywhere, he can indeed break many constraints. This is why this dungeon is so strange. , however, according to my speculation, he still needs to abide by some basic rules in the game, such as not setting up an unsolvable copy. He can increase the difficulty of the copy to a certain extent, but the answer must also be left accordingly."
"Where is the answer to the mystery?" asked the young man who had defeated him.
"Norse mythology records that Loki is an excellent shapeshifter. He has appeared in different stories in the form of a seal, a salmon, a white mare, a fly, and an old woman named Thok."
"The white mare, the one we met on the way to the hotel?" the mouse asked in surprise.
Zhang Heng nodded, "The old woman named Sok lives in a small village not far from Pripyat. The small building she lives in is taller than ordinary houses, because in Nordic mythology , she belongs to the giant race, and half of the building collapsed, which corresponds to the cave where she lives in the story."
"Dolphin, is that the chain on our car?" Kui Ye quickly thought of the dolphin interior that was hanging on the rearview mirror of the Volga car.
"By salmon, does it mean those canned salmon in our village?" The mouse is also very capable of drawing inferences.
