Chapter 74
That slight moan seemed to wake everyone up.
Ivy, who was standing in the middle of the house, had a slightly moving eyes. Her face was pale and colorless, quietly suspended in the darkness. Her pair of dark and dull pupils showed strange colors under the faint light of the flashlight.
Yu Ran's heart thumped, his slender fingers tightened instantly, and four crescent-shaped finger marks were printed in the cold sweaty palm. A slight tingling sensation tugged at her nerves, and a feeling of weightlessness like falling spreads up instantly.
At this moment, a louder noise came from Yu Ran's feet again. The players who were fainted by the spider finally woke up later, struggling to sit up, making a loud noise, which attracted everyone's attention for a while.
Looking at Ivy's dark eyes, Yu Ran felt anxious and stepped forward and gave each hand knife to each of the three players' necks.
They fell into a coma again and fell into the dust with a thud.
Yu Ran stiffly pulled up the corners of his lips, showing an embarrassing and polite smile.
Ivy moved her eyes back and stared at Mo Yi in a lifeless manner.
This time, she finally spoke, "Yes."
The sound of hoarseness and roughness as if it was burned by fire, and as if his nails were scratching through the glass, it sounded particularly harsh in the silence.
Her answer made Yu Ran stunned, and then he realized it later:
It turned out that Ivy was answering the question Mo Yi asked her just now - "Do you know?"
Mo Yi's face was neither happy nor angry, and his dark eyes seemed to be a little deeper. He stared at Ivy in front of him, and his light lips were pursed into a straight line.
He spoke, "What are those monsters?"
Ivy's pale face blurred for a moment, her thin lips twisted into a curve that approximates the smile, and said:
"You have guessed it all, so why are you asking me?"
Mo Yi lifted his eyelids, and his dark pupils were like arrows, tightly locking Ivy's face in the darkness.
Ivy didn't seem to be surprised by his reaction. She turned her eyes away, laughed dryly, and said:
“…They are all the people I killed.”
There was no change in Mo Yi's face, but Yu Ran's breathing was obviously a little messy. She asked regardless of her instinctive fear of Ivy in her heart:
"Since they have all been sacrificed once, why can they be sacrificed again?"
Ivy moved her cold and dark eyes and said coldly and sarcastically:
"Every day sacrifice requires only one organ, and not only one person in a person."
Yu Ran frowned, took a step forward subconsciously, and continued to ask:
"Since you only need one organ, why did you want to..." Kill so many people?
Yu Ran swallowed the remaining half of the words in Ivy's sarcasm - now she remembered that every sacrifice requires fresh organs, and most of the ones needed are fatal parts. Once they are lost, they will die. Where can I wait for the next day?
Her face couldn't help but feel a little embarrassing red.
Ivy turned her eyes and looked at Mo Yi, who was still in a deep face, and said in a hoarse voice:
"This is a deformed hunting ground, and every dead sacrifice will come back to life. If they do not plunder new sacrifices to replace them, then their own organs will be sacrificed."
Her horrible and harsh voice was terrifying in the empty and dark room.
Mo Yi stretched out the corners of his lips and asked, "The sacrifices are different, are there any different results?"
Ivy smiled hoarsely and said, "Of course it's different. The plague obtained by offering sacrifices to the old sacrifices belongs to the old era, and the plague obtained by offering sacrifices to the new era... is your new era."
When I said the last sentence, Ivy spoke very slowly, and the terrifying and unpleasant sound seemed to be lengthened and amplified. The infinite meaning contained in it made Mo Yi shocked.
His face was not clear, but his heart was not calm.
The hints in her words made people feel chilled.
He had known before that the plot in the dungeon was connected with the reality, and now Ivy means that if all players become sacrifices and complete the sacrifice, the real world will also be affected by the dungeon and a new plague broke out?
Mo Yi's fingers subconsciously tightened a little, and his cold fingertips touched the palm of his palm. The pain like a thin needle-like needle was transmitted to the brain, causing him to tremble in his heart.
Ivy let out a terrifying laugh, but there was no smile in her dark and cold eyes.
She repeated the fateful words:
"So I said, you must die."
Yu Ran, who knew the inside story, and Zhou Yunchen, who was still confused, felt the same heart. As if he was being targeted by a predator, a primitive fear and tremor arose in his heart.
Yu Ran felt as if her whole body was soaked in ice water, without a trace of temperature from head to toe.
If Ivy hadn't deceived them, the sacrifice would be completed regardless of whether they died or not. The only difference is what kind of plague they would release. Instead of dying at the hands of the dungeon, it would be better to be killed by Ivy.
Yu Ran was a little desperate.
To everyone's surprise, Mo Yi, who was standing opposite Ivy, actually showed a slight smile. He shook his head slowly, his tone was equally firm:
"No, we won't."
Ivy restrained her pale cheeks that were twisted because of her smile and stared at Mo Yi with a wrong look.
Mo Yi smiled, and his expression looked relaxed and relaxed:
"When I was in the kitchen just now, the pendant hurts your feelings at most, but it is definitely not enough to stop you from attacking us, but you still let us go."
He lowered his eyes, stared at his pale fingers that had lost their blood, and then said:
"If there is no chance of victory as you said, and this dungeon is just a dead end, why should you hesitate just now?"
If Mo Yi didn't know that even if the player's sacrifice would be completed, he might still think that Ivy let them go because she was willing to give them a chance to fight against this evil ritual.
But the current situation is that if the player does not die at a certain time, the old sacrifice will replace his position and become the new sacrifice, so no matter how hard they struggle, it will be no matter how much they struggle.
Since Ivy knew from the beginning, why did she choose to let him go?
Mo Yi raised his bright eyes, looked straight at Ivy, and continued:
"You know there is another option."
A road that can break the deadlock.
Ivy looked at him coldly, not saying anything.
Mo Yi smiled and changed the subject:
"Each dungeon can be challenged by different players more than once, so I think you have seen more than one wave of players, right?"
As he said, he looked at Ivy's face carefully, as if he wanted to see something from the stiff and pale face.
After hearing Mo Yi's words, Ivy narrowed her eyes slightly and did not answer.
Seeing her expression, Mo Yi knew that she was 80% talented.
He actually didn't know whether the dungeon could be repeatedly challenged by different players. After all, each dungeon is extremely closely connected to reality, and the possibility of being reset is too small - especially Mo Yi also witnessed the remnants of the first dungeon in the real world: the charred photo frame.
So...what will happen to those dungeons that have not been successfully passed by the player?
This question has been lingering in Mo Yi's mind and has not been answered. After all, no matter whether the side mission is opened or not, no player has entered the same dungeon twice.
And the familiarity that Ivy showed in their era just now made Mo Yi feel shocked.
This aspect confirms Mo Yi's conjecture - a copy that has not been completed will be reset and wait for the next group of players, and the reset is likely to be just the copy progress, not the NPC memory.
And according to the urinary nature of this game, Ivy won't let this matter be so easily said.
Her calmness at this moment was a reassurance.
Mo Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and continued:
"If the real society really had a Black Death that had disappeared for nearly a thousand years, it would definitely cause a sensation. I would not have known it, but now it does not, which means that neither the new nor the old has been truly completed."
He paused, raised his eyes and stared at Ivy in the dark:
"It's easy to understand that the new Black Death did not appear. As long as you kill all the players before the end of time, and the old ones did not appear, it means that even if you sacrifice monsters, you have never succeeded in one success, so you must have a way to stop the sacrifice."
Yu Ran's heart was pounding. She couldn't help but tighten her heartstrings as she listened to Mo Yi's gradually speeding up her speech.
I heard Mo Yi continue:
"If we spread our minds, make some bold guesses..."
Mo Yi's eyes slowly froze on Ivy's charred legs, and said with a hint of point:
"What if you were actually one of the seven sacrificed people?"
Yu Ran was so shocked by his conclusion that he almost screamed out, and stood there in a daze, looking a little silly.
Mo Yi continued to say as if no one was around:
"You don't have a helper, and it was extremely difficult to kill so many people. In addition, the whole city was under martial law, and you were eager to use part of your body to complete the final sacrifice to revive your child. Perhaps it was because you were the leader of the entire sacrifice, or perhaps because your body was not completely destroyed at the time of death, so you were not controlled by the house, but retained your own consciousness and had great freedom."
Ivy stared at him with a slight flash of eyes, and her facial expression seemed to be a little stunned.
Mo Yi took a step forward without moving and said:
"And this room cannot control you, so you can't force you to sacrifice your organs and complete the last step of sacrifice, so you can just make sure that the room cannot get enough new players to complete your mission.
And, if I remember correctly, on the note I found, the last organ that completed the sacrifice was the kneecap.”
Ivy met Mo Yitan's open eyes and stared at her for a long time. She suddenly laughed:
"I underestimated you."
Yu Ran was still immersed in the shock that Ivy was actually one of the seven offerings. At this moment, the three people who were wrapped in spider silk on her feet and were knocked out of the way finally moved and struggled to sit up again.
Ivy seemed to be alarmed by the sound, and her pale face slowly dissipated into the darkness.
Mo Yi was stunned and subconsciously reached out to stop him, but his raised palm froze in the air the next second.
A familiar mechanical female voice came into his ears. The voice was not loud, but the content was deafening:
Chapter completed!
