Chapter 49: Reflections (Part 1)
Due to the candle flame, Fang Yi's vision became clear.
At the same time, he also found that Old One-Eye was holding a rusty wood knife in one hand and a candle in the other, walking towards the corpse step by step.
The old face, half hidden in the shadows and half shining in the candlelight, looked eerie.
The only fast-moving eyeball left on his face adds a bit of the feeling of a crazy murderer in a horror movie.
"Did it come?"
But Fang Yi didn't seem surprised, nor nervous.
Instead, he lifted his spirits a little, and quietly touched the black sand dagger hidden in the close-fitting leather armor.
Every copy of the identity, to a greater or lesser extent, will encounter a crisis.
This kind of crisis may be hidden, or it may be on the surface.
It could be from an NPC, or it could be from a player.
Since the beginning of the game copy, Fang Yi's crisis has always existed.
In that dining hall, it only takes one player to see through the corpse.
Fang Yi's situation will become frequent and dangerous, and he may be out at any time.
But obviously, the players in the dining hall were not good enough to guess his situation.
Originally, the player who was the most promising, the most likely to reveal Fang Yi's identity, and the most likely to expose Fang Yi, was the bird's beak doctor.
And this, too, should be systematically designed, the corpse player and the bird's beak doctor, the link of the two players fighting wits and courage.
At the same time, it is also the most dangerous time for the identity of the corpse copy, and it is also the most passive moment for Fang Yi.
Unfortunately, the bird's-beak doctor didn't take advantage of the opportunity, or was completely unaware of it.
And not only did he not investigate Fang Yi's identity as a player, but he also exposed himself by missing this opportunity to directly knock General Fang Yi out.
This can only be said that if the water is not even enough, the meat sent to the mouth can fly away.
But even after this crisis, Fang Yi didn't let go.
Because of the identity of the corpse, the identity of the copy is too great in the eyes of the system.
It belongs to the degree that in the face of advantages, the disadvantages can be basically ignored.
Therefore, according to the [Relative Balance System], there will definitely be corresponding balance measures in the dungeon.
In Fang Yi's words, that is this identity, and there is still a crisis that he doesn't know.
Only after spending it can you be a corpse with complete peace of mind.
In Fang Yi's guess, this old one-eyed should be a part of the design of the [Relative Balance System].
The main thing is to force players to abandon passivity and take the initiative to face danger.
Of course, this kind of response can be tough or tempting, and it all depends on the player's own choice.
If the former does not control the timing well and the battle time is too long, it is likely to attract the guards of the manor, and the concealment of the identity of the corpse copy will also be completely invalid.
The latter needs to have excellent speech skills, and be able to put forward conditions to convince the old one-eyed to hide the truth about the corpse.
For the sake of safety, Fang Yi certainly wanted to choose the latter.
But considering that the old one-eyed could also be a player, Fang Yi felt that it was safer to kill him directly.
Anyway, his current body is a super mercenary with the title of ten people, and his strength is not to say. It's definitely going to be fatal with one blow before the old one-eyed makes a move.
As for the question of the corpse of the old one-eyed man after that, and the question of the autopsy of the fat earl tomorrow, it can only be improvised.
"It's a big deal to take advantage of the night, seize the horses and food, go out to explore the map, and then make plans."
Originally, Fang Yi felt that the dungeon map only had such a Xhosa Manor.
But after hearing the fat count say 'Snow Castle' and knowing that he would be able to bring back a doctor tomorrow, Fang Yi understood that the map of this copy was not limited to Xhosa Manor.
"I'm afraid that this Snow Fort should be an NPC force that can be leveraged, and maybe the [Tracker] is on the side of Snow Fort here, so there is no one in the dining hall."
"But these are all problems that need to be thought about later, and now let's solve the old one-eyed first."
Suppressing his thoughts, Fang Yi's attention became focused.
At the same time, the footsteps of the old one-eyed were getting closer and closer.
The candlelight begins to move from far to near, and the light and shadow change from long to short.
Stomp.
With the last two steps, the old one-eyed stood in front of Fang Yi.
Leaning over slightly, pulling the candle closer, the old one-eyed carefully examined Fang Yi's corpse.
With the action of leaning over, a foul smell came to the nostrils.
Fang Yi's muscles tensed, waiting for the best moment.
"Closer! Just get closer to ......."
As soon as Fang Yi thought of this, the old one-eyed suddenly frowned and stopped moving.
What's going on? Was the old one-eyed saw the clue?
Fang Yi chuckled in his heart, and almost made a direct move.
Fortunately, at the last moment, I restrained my impulse.
At the same time, Old One-Eye shook his head, straightened up, and whispered.
"Hasn't the effect of the medicine passed yet?"
Placing the candle on the wooden table beside him, the old one-eyed dragged the wood knife and left.
As the warehouse doors closed, the warehouse returned to calm.
Let's go?
Fang Yi's expression was slightly stunned, and he relaxed his originally tense body.
What's going on? And what does the old one-eyed sentence 'the effect of the medicine has not passed' mean?
Fang Yi's brows furrowed, and vaguely, he felt that he should have missed some important information.
"Is there anything wrong with my identity as a corpse? There are details that I haven't noticed yet......"
Wait a minute!
Fang Yi suddenly perked up and realized that he had forgotten an important matter.
"Wait! Anyway, the identity of my corpse is in the game dungeon, is it a real corpse, or a pretended corpse? ”
It may be a bit of a twist to say, but it's simple to explain.
The former represents all NPCs and players, who all believe that Fang Yi is a complete corpse, and in the eyes of others, he is truly dead.
The latter represents some NPCs or players who knew from the beginning that their corpse was alive, part of the plan, and an illusion of death created by various methods.
To put it simply, it is Fang Yi's death, which may be a fake death deliberately designed by someone!
"It's a possibility! Before, because it was a state of crisis as soon as I entered the dungeon, my mind was not completely opened for the time being. Now that there is time to think, coupled with the abnormal reaction of the old one-eyed, I feel that this possibility is still very large. ”
"Then you just have to see if anyone will come to you and get a clear message."
The use of fake corpses to create panic, the use of fake corpses to cause suspicion, to cause contradictions, or something, are all good strategies.
If this speculation is true, then his identity should be on the opposite side of the fat earl.
"No...... Wait! I can guess this step because of the old one-eye's abnormal reactions, as well as a keen sense of the game. But there will certainly be other players who are fully aware of the situation and know that this body is alive. ”
"Even if the [tracker] is an old acquaintance, he can think of coming here to investigate the corpse without knowing the information."
