45 Chapter 45 A Quiet Day(3/3)
"That's because before that, I had completed the side tasks in the other two bedrooms and opened the last page of the album." Lu Miao smiled, but his eyes were heavy.
This game has a high degree of freedom, and all players know this.
In each copy, the main task is a plot. The number and type of side tasks completed are different, which will trigger various plot branches. The various plots are inextricably linked and connected to each other.
Together, there will be different ways of clearing levels.
Just like Schrödinger's cat, you never know what the box will look like until you open it.
Most of the side tasks and achievements are just a variable that causes changes in the plot, but there is always a task or a path, which is the action of "opening the box" that determines the final outcome.
Just like the monster side quest "Heart of True Love" in the previous dungeon, and in this dungeon, the barrier was broken down by thousands of tons of sea water, revealing another secret passage.
Lu Miao pointed to a nearly collapsed hole left in the soil section after they rushed out: "That secret passage is the clue to the 'Weird Game House'. It leads to the secret room next to the master bedroom.
This is the end point of the mission of 'Chamber of Horrors'."
This was the passage that Lu Miao accidentally noticed when he lay on Qi Huai's body and broke through the soil.
However, he had already realized that something was wrong with the passage below. Although it was severely washed by the sea water, the traces of time on the walls around the passage were still there, matching the huts above that had been renovated several times, and the clues of the furniture in the huts.
The age doesn't match at all.
It does match the age of the information about Ma Li's family at the end of the photo album.
Qi Huai thought back to the scene when he jumped down from the hole in the second bedroom, and indeed realized that the distance between the ground in the second bedroom and the bottom of the tunnel was too far. Those corpses were unable to move easily, so how could they escape from such a deep tunnel quietly?
It's almost impossible to climb up without sound.
They didn't discover the secret passage leading to his second bedroom along the way.
If the wine cellar down there was a real secret room, it would be impossible for Ma Li's ghost to pass through the secret passage from his bedroom and appear in Fang Siqi's bedroom.
But he was thinking about the message Lu Miao left for him at the time, and didn't pay attention to it for a while, and unexpectedly missed such important information.
Qi Huai's face looked a little ugly.
But at this time, Lu Miao was still very unsatisfied. He pretended to be surprised and asked him: "You didn't notice this? Then why are you willing to cooperate with me?"
"..." Qi Huai gritted his teeth, "What's the point of asking if you know everything?"
"That's great." Lu Miao said shamelessly, "After all, the message I left at that time was very cryptic, and most people wouldn't be able to see it."
Qi Huai: "…………"
He almost didn't remember it.
It was Lu Miao's system prompt about sharing personal side tasks that reminded him.
When Ma Li's ghost left the battle, he actually preferred to leave directly, leaving Lu Miao to Su Anqi, who was watching eagerly outside.
——Having been in the same game for such a long time, Qi Huai has had some dealings with Su Anqi and heard about her deeds. He knows that if she really sets her sights on Lu Miao, she will never give up.
She must also have the ability to enter the dungeon earlier than others.
But that message reminded Qi Huai that if Su Anqi really planned to come in personally to arrest people from the beginning, there was no need to send in Fang Siqi who had little fighting ability first.
No matter how bad Su Anqi's panel attributes are, they are still compared to other top ten players in the rankings. Compared with newcomers like Fang Siqi, it is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
If she comes in by herself and brings a few of her vassals, Lu Miao will not be able to resist at all.
He didn't know the reason why Su Anqi didn't choose to do this, but what was certain was that with Su Anqi's cautious character, she would definitely not leave herself a way out.
If Fangsi failed, she would definitely have to come in by herself.
Lu Miao could not have thought of this, but still sent Fang Siqi away, and later forced him to join him in the fight with Fang Siqi, forcing him to attack Fang Siqi.
After receiving his attack, Fang Siqi was basically certain to die.
After she dies, Su Anqi will definitely come in.
No, that's not right.
Qi Huai suddenly thought that he was the last one to enter the dungeon, so he did not hesitate to expose his ability to forcefully enter the dungeon.
Su Anqi definitely didn't know that he would show up, so her plan might be put on hold because of Qi Huai's presence, unless...
Unless he was seriously injured, it would not have such a strong deterrent effect on Su Anqi.
It was at that time that he realized that Lu Miao was trying to trick Su Anqi into entering the dungeon, and then he immediately realized that Lu Miao would not bring a powerful enemy to him for no reason.
He definitely has an agenda.
Since Lu Miao can design to lure Su Anqi into the dungeon, it means that he understands the mechanism of this dungeon well and is confident that Su Anqi can join the dungeon even if she does not have the relevant skills.
Then he will never really kill him or Yu Qian, and bring in other more difficult opponents.
So his plot is not on the three of them, but on something bigger——
New copy.
When this idea appeared in Qi Huai's mind, he couldn't believe it, but Lu Miao's various strange behaviors along the way formed a complete closed loop in his mind.
If it weren't for this goal, he couldn't even think of anything else that would be worth taking such a big risk when Lu Miao was about to complete the dungeon progress and escape the threat.
The temptation to pass the new dungeon for the first time has to be said to be very great, so Qi Huai would rather pinch his nose and admit his previous losses than rush over to complete his cooperation with Lu Miao.
But he would definitely not say these words in front of Lu Miao.
He didn't want this lunatic to get too proud.
Lu Miao was staggered by his tail, but he didn't care. He smiled and saw that hundreds of ghosts had been cleared away, but they were still densely packed and invisible in the sky: "With so many monsters, just the three of us can't help it."
When will the fight last? So, we can’t do it without the support of Mr. Su.”
Su Anqi: "..."
If she hadn't left these three guys, she might have died among the ghosts. Su Anqi really wanted to impulsively kill this annoying guy.
It was obviously some kind of conspiracy to trick her into coming in, but it was said as if she was rushing in to help.
So humiliating!
But Su Anqi still forced herself to calm down, and without saying a word, she stabbed the dagger into the ghost's body, tearing apart a ghost while quickly scanning the surrounding situation, trying to find a way out.
If she didn't kill Lu Miao before because she was coveting his useful brain and wanted to turn him into her own helper, then now, Su Anqi was completely thinking about her own safety.
After all, the four of them are now surrounded by thousands of ghosts, and there is a boss underground who will suddenly appear at an unknown time and whose combat power reaches a terrifying 1000%.
——The 1000% combat power of the D-level dungeon is enough to kill them all. The 1000% combat power of the C-level dungeon, even the two ranking leaders, Su Anqi and Qi Huai, cannot bear to think about it.
My heart trembled and my spine felt chilly.
The rewards for the first pass of the C-level dungeon are indeed tempting, but you have to be lucky to get them!
But Su Anqi is not a combat player, and even Qi Huai is just passively killing the ghosts on the spot without leaving hastily, so she is even less likely to find a chance to escape.
In the end, we can only place our hope on Lu Miao: "What should we do now, where should we escape?"
The situation was so critical that she had subconsciously given up on exploring this new dungeon. She just wanted to get the first pass achievement and get out alive.
As long as she can successfully leave the dungeon, she will still be the top ranking player.
When the time comes, she will never go against this scary guy like Lu Miao. It was just a meeting. In just a few minutes, Lu Miao had already carved an indelible shadow in her heart.
If possible, she would rather never appear in the same dungeon with Lu Miao again.
The daily routine of hiding from Lu Miao had almost appeared in her mind. Who knew that when Lu Miao heard this, he looked at her in surprise: "Escape? Why are you running away?"
Su Anqi was startled.
Chapter completed!
