After one hour of puzzle solving, Weighty Words finally escaped from his memory space. The white light that lit up around him announced the change in the environment. Just as he was getting used to the light in front of him, Qiu Feng's voice sounded beside him, "Now, everyone is here."
Weighty Words turned to look and was shocked.
At that moment, there was a dagger stuck into Autumn Wind's chest. His body was' pinned 'to the chair by the dagger, and the wound was still bleeding.
"Don't panic, he's fine. Temporarily, his life is not in danger." Hong Hu's tone was as calm as ever.
Hearing that, Weighty Words turned to look to the other side.
Hong Hu was not injured by the dagger, but his whole head was' trapped 'inside a small metal cage. It was like he was wearing a helmet that could not be removed.
The cage was rectangular and was only slightly bigger than Hong Hu's head. There was a round hole at the bottom of the cage, and it fit perfectly around his neck. To be honest, this style was a bit comical despite its novelty.
"What is this …" Weighty Words soon saw the situation before him. He realized that he was sitting at a round table, and there were many strange cards on the table. Around the table, there were six chairs. Other than the four players, there were two unfamiliar characters.
The two NPCs, or perhaps the Boss, looked calm and unharmed. But on the players' side, it was a different story.
"It's time for the quest to be updated, right?" This was Feng Bujue.
Brother Jue's current situation was not looking good either. His cheeks had been cut, and there was a wound on both sides of his lips. It was as if there was a smile on his face that would never disappear.
"You're trying to imitate Joker, aren't you?" Weighty Words could not help but say.
It was not unreasonable for him to say the word 'imitation' because Feng Bujue was really holding a bloody foldable knife in his hand. It looked like the 'smiling face' had been cut by himself.
"Humph … Just take it that way," Feng Bujue replied with a chuckle.
"Current quest completed. Main quest updated," the system said.
In the quest tab of the four players, [All surviving players enter the Detective Club.] This line was finally hooked.
As for [Escape from the memory space and return to the seventh floor of the Test Building.] Although every player had this quest, it wasn't a shared quest. Instead, it was four identical individual quests. Therefore, the players completed them separately.
"Oh … is that so?" Feng Bujue saw the new quest that appeared in the quest tab, 'Defeat Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty in the Game of the Round Table', and he commented with a smile, "This is quite difficult …"
"Why do you look so happy when you say it's difficult …" Qiu Feng said in a gloomy tone.
"Ha … Aren't you having fun too?" Feng Bujue laughed.
Qiu Feng said, "What do you mean by happy? I still have the bleeding effect on me. "
Feng Bujue shrugged. "Ha … In the end, Hong Hu is the most comfortable."
Ambitionist pulled a long face through the bars. "I feel like I've already lost something very important to me by wearing this iron cage on my head."
Weighty Words had a confused look on his face. He scratched his head and asked, "What are you guys doing?"
"We'll talk about that later." Feng Bujue said. "Why don't you tell us something that you haven't 'encountered' in the memory space?"
"Haven't encountered …" Weighty Words' eyes were shining, and he wondered if this was a hint from Brother Feng.
When he was solving the puzzle in the memory space, Weighty Words did run into a few situations that were very similar to what the 'messages' were referring to. If there were any messages that he had not encountered, there should be two of them left.
Holmes took a puff from the pipe and used his British accent to say, "I believe you are like these gentlemen and remember the content of the five messages clearly. So, please say one of them so that the game can continue."
"But do not tell us the messages that you've encountered because the 'hint' of those sentences has already been used, and they cannot be used as a condition to join the game," Moriarty said.
Weighty Words looked left and right, and many thoughts crossed his mind. He saw that his teammates were all sitting quietly in their seats. Even though someone had a sword in his chest, no one showed any sign of violence. This showed that the situation before them was not something that could be solved through violence.
"Hmm … When you think you've gotten what you want, you've actually lost more," Weighty Words said.
In the memory space, he had not experienced a scenario that matched the meaning of this message.
Just as he finished, a card on the table started to move even though no one was touching it. It slowly moved to Weighty Words' side.
"Fufu …" Holmes blew out a puff of smoke. "Flip it over, Mr. Words."
Since the man said 'flip it over', it meant that the back of the card was facing up. Weighty Words lowered his eyes to look at the card. Other than the endless blue pattern on the back, there was a word printed on it — Hint.
Weighty Words lifted his head to look at his teammates. Hong Hu and Qiu Feng had a serious expression on their faces, but Feng Bujue had a smile on his face.
"If I'm not mistaken …" Weighty Words' hand was already on the card, but he did not flip it open. Instead, he looked at the two bosses and said, "The sentence that Brother Feng chose is … to welcome the tragedy with a smile, to face all the misfortune with one hundred times the courage. And Hong Hu's choice is … the place where there is no place in the world that can compare to his own home. "
"Hah … Correct speculation," Holmes replied with a smile. Holmes replied with a smile. "That's right. The card will produce the corresponding effect according to the content of the 'hint.'"
Weighty Words laughed coldly and turned to Qiu Feng. "Qiu Feng, which sentence did you say? I can't guess."
"A sincere act of kindness, not asking for anything in return," Qiu Feng replied listlessly.
"Humph …" Weighty Words grumbled. "Looks like no matter what sentence you say, it will not end well." He turned to face Moriarty and Holmes. "Then … what if I don't flip this card?"
"What else?" Feng Bujue replied on their behalf. "The game will stop at your turn and cannot continue. Then everyone will drag it out until you are judged as AFKing by the system, or everyone disconnects from the game due to excessive gaming time. "
Qiu Feng added, "By the way, I can't use the things in my inventory anymore. If you drag this on for another hour or so, I might bleed to death. "
Hong Hu added, "And if you wish to solve the problem with the professor and the detective, you'd better try to remember the wall of light that sealed the door to the first floor … Guess whose work that is."
Weighty Words laughed drily and shook his head. "Fine, I'll flip it then. At most, I'll get hurt …" He grumbled and flipped the card over.
