Chapter 325 What You Should Consider Is (4k)
Zhao Xun changed back to human form and entered the second dormitory on the fourth floor.
He walked quietly to the innermost closet and opened the closet door.
There was indeed a pale and thin boy hiding inside.
He was young and still wearing a school uniform, obviously a student.
When the boy looked up at Zhao Xun, there was a bit of surprise in his eyes.
He didn't hear any sound, and suddenly saw his closet door opened.
The boy stared at Zhao Xun without any defense, and was stunned for two seconds before realizing the seriousness of the problem.
He instantly turned into a small mouse and quickly ran out of the closet.
Although he was extremely fast, Zhao Xun's reaction was not slow.
A thin metal chain flew out and locked the mouse's waist tightly.
Zhao Xun grabbed the other end of the thin chain and gently pulled it, pulling the mouse back to his side.
He stepped hard on the mouse with one foot, and the mouse screamed and struggled even more fiercely.
"It seems that even if ordinary attacks don't hurt you, you will still feel pain." Zhao Xun said as he moved his left index finger.
A small piece of metal turned into a small muzzle and buckled on the mouse's mouth.
Then, Zhao Xun bent down and lightly hooked the necklace on the mouse's neck.
The mouse turned around and wanted to bite Zhao Xun's finger, but because its mouth was firmly buckled by the metal muzzle, it could not cause any harm to Zhao Xun.
Before the mouse raised its claws to scratch Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun had quickly taken off the necklace.
A cluster of sesame-sized flames appeared on Zhao Xun's right index finger, and one end of the necklace was sent into the flames.
A small part of the necklace was quickly melted.
The mouse screamed and regained its human form, but one of its arms had melted into a pool of water.
As the mouse turned back into a student, the small necklace also returned to its normal size.
"It's this." Zhao Xun smiled, did not stop, turned around and walked out.
The boy got anxious and rushed towards Zhao Xun.
But the pain in his body slowed him down. Zhao Xun had already walked out of the room and turned into a sparrow and flew downstairs.
"It is wiser for us to wait downstairs than to go upstairs." The lame man couldn't help but sigh, "He is really fast. I don't know how he found the NPC's 'weakness' so quickly."
No one answered the lame man's question. Everyone was as curious as him.
Zhao Xun returned to human form after landing and handed the necklace in his hand to the monkey-faced man.
He didn't say anything. He raised his right hand with his palm facing up, and a ball of fire the size of a ping-pong ball appeared above his palm.
The monkey-faced man immediately understood what Zhao Xun meant. He looked around, picked up a thicker branch from the green belt, and stretched it into the fireball.
The branch was instantly ignited.
The monkey-faced man, who already had experience, hurriedly threw the branch to the ground, and then threw the metal necklace into the burning branch.
"No!!" The boy screamed from above.
Everyone looked up subconsciously and saw that the boy had actually jumped down from the fourth floor.
At this time, the boy had already landed on the third floor. Obviously, before the monkey-faced man threw the necklace into the flames, the boy had already jumped off the building.
The boy knew that he would not have time to get there by taking the stairs, so he chose to jump off the building.
As long as the attack was not aimed at his "weakness", he would not die, even if he jumped off the building.
But he was still in mid-air when he saw his necklace thrown into the fire.
Seeing that he could not get his necklace back in time in this way, his face was full of despair.
His body also melted uncontrollably and quickly, and liquid dripped from his body to the ground drop by drop, like a very small rain.
The players retreated two meters away, fearing that they would be contaminated by the unknown liquid.
Who knows if it will be poisonous, or if they will also be melted?
It's always right to be careful.
In just a few seconds, the boy completely turned into water, and he didn't even have time to land.
Everyone looked at the small puddle of water on the ground and heard the campus broadcast sound again.
[The student has died, and the number of NPCs is 6. ]
Zhao Xun turned into a huge rattlesnake again and determined the next target.
As he expected, after the broadcast sounded, an NPC moved.
However, the two NPCs that had not been detected before still did not appear.
It seems that the two NPCs are very satisfied with their hiding places.
Even after hearing the notification of the death of other NPCs, they did not intend to change.
Zhao Xun chose a new target nearby.
The other players followed closely beside the snake.
Soon, they dealt with two more NPCs.
The process of finding the "weaknesses" of these two NPCs was not as smooth as when dealing with the student NPCs, but it only took a few minutes longer.
After listening to the campus broadcast announcing [The number of NPCs is 4], every player's face was full of joy.
"From the current progress, it seems that we don't need to figure out what the game rules prompt "It's cold at the top" means." The woman in red suddenly thought of this and couldn't help laughing, "I feel like I'm cheating, and I don't need to use my brain at all."
"I think, even if we fail to kill all the NPCs in the first round of the chase, we don't have to hide in the second round of the chase." The hip-hop man glanced at Zhao Xun, his tone full of confidence and hope, "They have a big disadvantage in numbers. We all stand on the playground waiting for them, and they may not be able to hurt us."
"I think so too." The short ponytail man nodded in agreement, "There are only four NPCs left, but we have five silver medals. If they dare to get close, they will be dead."
The glasses man thought for a while and said, "In fact, they don't have to get close to us."
The crowd suddenly quieted down, and the excitement aroused by the hip-hop man and the short ponytail man gradually faded.
Several of them showed unhappy expressions on their faces, and they were obviously dissatisfied with the glasses man's behavior of always pouring cold water on them.
The man with glasses didn't care and continued, "The rules of the game don't stipulate that the chasing party must chase and kill the fleeing party in every round of the chase. Since they are already at such a big disadvantage in terms of numbers, it's better to hide. Anyway, in the second round of the chase, we, as the fleeing party, can't chase the chasing party."
When everyone heard this, their faces changed slightly.
Obviously, the speculation of the man with glasses made some sense.
Since it is easy to be killed in the chase, it is better to give up the chase.
The rules of the game never said that the chasing party can't hide.
In this way, the remaining NPCs can not only live longer, but also have more time to prepare a safer hiding place.
After entering the third round of the chase, make sure that they are more difficult to find.
For them, the best choice is to try to kill all the NPCs in the first round of the chase. The longer the time, the harder it may be to find the hiding NPCs.
"If they hide under the pretext of an ambush, we can just go find them directly." Zhao Xun shrugged his shoulders, looking relaxed. "We happened to meet the pursuers in the process of 'escaping' and 'hiding', and we happened to have the silver medal to kill the pursuers. This does not violate the rules of the game."
The final result is nothing more than maintaining the status of the first round of the chase. The players continue to "hunt" and the NPCs continue to "hide", just under different names.
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
Everyone's face was filled with joy.
The man with glasses relaxed his serious expression: "What you said... makes sense."
"I think we need to be wary of whether the NPC will have some special means of attack after becoming the pursuer." Zhao Xun looked at the man with glasses and smiled. "From the previous situations, it is not difficult to see that when the NPC is the escapee, each has different abilities, but they cannot directly attack the pursuer. But these abilities may not really only be used for escape and defense."
The man with glasses was stunned, and his expression gradually became serious again.
Obviously, he knew that Zhao Xun's inference made sense.
Zhao Xun added: "What you should consider is whether you have the ability to protect yourself when they use special means to attack, or whether you have time to use the silver medal to counterattack."
If the NPC has special means of attack, then even if there are few people, they may not dare to attack.
For example, the librarian can transform into gray fog and attack in the dark, which is difficult to be noticed.
The success rate of sneak attacks is very high.
The time of the second stage of the chase is from 1 pm to 8 pm, which is just the opportunity for sneak attacks at night.
Of course, the librarian is dead.
But there is no guarantee that there are no living NPCs who are good at sneak attacks.
Especially the two NPCs that he has not sensed so far. He always feels that those two NPCs may be the most difficult to deal with.
"I understand what you mean." The man with glasses said solemnly, "We can't relax too much just because you are here, otherwise it is easy to send ourselves to death."
After listening to the straightforward words of the man with glasses, the other players finally realized that they were indeed too relaxed.
Every time they participated in the platform game before, they were tense throughout the whole process.
But this time, they were even in the mood to laugh and joke, as if they had already grasped the victory in their hands, without any tension.
And this relaxation was brought by Zhao Xun's strength.
But they themselves did not have such a strong ability. Once they were targeted by NPCs as prey, it was hard to say whether they could protect themselves.
They could not expect Zhao Xun to protect everyone's safety throughout the whole process.
Although Zhao Xun's actions so far have indeed made all of them a safer environment, it can be seen from Zhao Xun's various expressions and words that Zhao Xun did not intend to be their bodyguard all the time.
Now it is only because they happen to be in the same camp, it is more advantageous to act together, and the NPC is in a state of being hunted, so Zhao Xun accepted this situation.
But when the players are hunted, Zhao Xun may not be willing to protect everyone's safety.
There is no reason for Zhao Xun to ensure that all of their players are alive.
If they continue to be so lazy, then the second round of chasing will most likely be their death.
Realizing this, the players' relaxed attitudes disappeared a little, and they finally became tense as if they were participating in a survival game.
At this time, everyone had already walked to the vicinity of the teacher's dormitory building.
Zhao Xun looked up at the countdown in the sky.
02:18:11
After using the biological infrared detector, the hunting speed was indeed much faster.
Zhao Xun determined the detailed location of the prey, changed from a snake to a sparrow, and flew to the door of the dormitory on the far right of the third floor.
The other players stayed where they were, looking up at the direction of the third floor, waiting quietly.
The dormitory door was closed, but this did not bother Zhao Xun.
He used [Instant Body] to enter the dormitory directly.
Zhao Xun bent down, and sure enough, under the bed placed by the window, he saw a tall and strong man lying there.
Although Zhao Xun did not make any sound, the man immediately noticed something was wrong.
The moment he turned his head and met Zhao Xun's eyes, the man immediately rolled out.
Before the man had time to get up, he raised his hand to control the iron bed to block himself in front of him, separating him from Zhao Xun at a safe distance.
When the man stood up, Zhao Xun also raised his hand, and the metal bed immediately separated.
The man's face changed.
Before Zhao Xun took a step forward, the man raised his hand again, and the iron bed blocked the two of them again.
The man crossed his arms in front of his chest, maintaining the posture of controlling the iron bed: "I want to see, my dormitory, my bed, can your control ability surpass mine?"
Zhao Xun laughed: "Since you said so, I am also a little curious."
He raised his right hand, moved his five fingers slightly, and the metal bed shook twice, and suddenly fell apart.
The wooden bed board fell to the ground, and the metal bracket part seemed to be decomposed, turning into countless debris scattered all over the ground.
The man had no control target, and his arms were too strong. He stumbled and quickly relaxed his arms.
He looked at the metal debris scattered on the ground in surprise, and couldn't believe that the metal bed that was supposed to be completely under his control had become like this in the blink of an eye.
While the man was surprised, Zhao Xun had already finished looking at the man and began to observe the items around him.
This NPC should be a physical education teacher. Not only is he sturdy and strong, but he is also wearing sportswear, which is quite suitable for a physical education teacher.
The dormitory is not large, but it is a single room, which is spacious compared to the four-person student dormitory.
However, there are not many things in the dormitory. Apart from a bed and a wardrobe, there are basically no other furniture.
The bed has been disassembled, and with a few daily necessities, there doesn't seem to be any "weak" items.
Zhao Xun's sight finally stopped at the pocket of the physical education teacher's shirt.
The slightly bulging pocket obviously contained something.
The wardrobe can be burned later, and he is more suspicious of what is in the pocket of the physical education teacher.
The physical education teacher noticed Zhao Xun's sight and immediately turned and ran to the window.
Zhao Xun swung his hand, and the metal debris on the ground instantly turned into a thick iron chain, and the end flying towards the physical education teacher turned into an iron collar. (End of this chapter)
