Survivorship Bias

    After leaving the studio, Yang Erci, Josh and Wu You searched all the way, looking for clues in every open room.

    Because of digital management, there are not many clues and materials that can be found.

& nbsp; Information, such as height, weight, blood type, and the presence of genetic diseases.

    To Yang Erci's surprise, the number of these children was far greater than they had imagined.

    "This hard drive is different from the previous one." Josh said, pointing to the floating screen connected to the host, which was a pop-up window, "This encrypted , requires a password, and must have administrator privileges, the host model is not correct, we should not be able to open this room."

    Yang Erci nodded, "The administrator may be Zhong Yirou, let's go to the room that was initialized before and see if we can insert it."

    She always felt a little strange, Wu You never came back after leaving.

    This sense of unease continued as she and Josh returned to the first floor control room. , because Josh was afraid of dark rooms, she opened the door directly.

    Not much to say, Yang Erci directly put the encrypted hard disk into the card slot of the host computer, but Josh patted her on the shoulder.

    "Look at the monitor on the screen..." Josh's voice trembled.

    Yang Erci glanced over.

    At first she didn't notice anything wrong, but after a closer look, she felt strange.

    There are countless surveillance images on the screen, from the room to the corridor, no one is left.

    But there is not a single person in these images.

    "Where did they all go?"

    The lights in the corridor, the snow-white walls, and the reflective floor make the whole space extremely bright.

    But Zhong Yirou was standing here, but she felt shivering, and even the air was flowing sadly, passing by her side.

    There was an innocent voice in front of her, but another innocent voice came from her earphones.

    [Hello? I can still hear your voice just now, is there no signal now? ]

    He was still talking.

    As of now, one of these two must be true and the other false.

    So far, she has not found any bad signals from these two people, indicating that disguising as another person needs to gain trust. Before that, she should There will be no danger to life.

    If the one in front of you is real, that's all, the one in the earphone is probably trying to lead her to the past, after all, the person in front of her completely appeared in front of her, and the opposite That, only sound.

    How about the other way around?

    Zhong Yirou followed behind An Wujiu, touched her ear, and finally touched a slightly raised dot, she tentatively tapped her finger After a few taps, there was a beep, and the sound on the other end was cut off.

    Oops.

    How come there is no instruction for this thing?

    She took a deep breath, walked to the point where she stood shoulder to shoulder with the innocent person in front of her, and then showed her usual smile.

    Fakes will definitely have flaws, let’s start with this first.

    Always find something.

    "By the way, you just said there is a work log, in which room did you see it?"

    An Wujiu turned his face and said calmly, "The data room."

    "Oh, that's it." Zhong Yirou nodded, "There's nothing scary in the data room, right? This copy is really scary, and there's a hint of it everywhere. It's a weird feeling that scared me to death just now."

    An Wujiu listened, paused, and said, "This place is very strange. I was just thinking, did you encounter an illusion?"

    He added: "When I was separated from other people, I also experienced hallucinations."

    "What hallucination?" Zhong Yirou stared into his eyes.

    really exactly the same, there is no difference at all from the outside.

    An Wu Jiu glanced at her, then smiled lightly, "I saw that you all turned into monsters and wanted to kill me."

    Just one sentence, it seems that people can see the picture and be horrified.

    Zhong Yirou frowned, but soon let go.

    She didn't want to show her flaws.

    "Really? That's even scarier than me, at least the hallucinations I see are people I don't know. Those children are alive for a while, After a while, it turned into a corpse of a swindler, and only I could see it."

    "This is the morgue you said." An Wujiu lowered his eyes, "After you get the work log, you will know what your work is. Combined with what just happened, there should be new clues."

    Continuing to walk forward, Zhong Yirou felt that the temperature suddenly warmed up, but there was still this empty corridor in front of her. , but there is no one else till now.

    So weird.

    She thought of something, so she turned to An Wujiu and asked in a very casual tone, "By the way, what about the guy with green eyes? you."

    An Wu Jiu was silent for a while.

    Perhaps the silence was not very long, but in Zhong Yirou's eyes, every detail on his face seemed to be infinite zoomed in.

    The face is right in front of her eyes, but at this moment, the voice in her earphones echoed repeatedly in her mind, which was no different from the current one.

    [Yirou…]

    [I am innocent. ]

    

    Zhong Yirou suddenly stopped.

    An Wujiu in front of her also sensed her stop, so she turned around.

    Zhong Yirou's double eyelashes touched up and down lightly, an adventurous idea popped up in her mind, and she implemented it.

    "Wu You, you won't get rid of him."

    Her heart almost jumped out.

    An Wujiu's expression did not change at all, and it was terribly calm.

    "No, he went to another room himself to collect clues. It is said that separation is more efficient."

    After he finished speaking, he stared at Zhong Yirou's face, and even showed a friendly smile.

    Zhong Yirou's expression didn't change much, she seemed very relaxed, she also smiled, and then put on the shoulder of safety, "That guy actually And when you're so independent."

    It seems that this guy in disguise doesn't even know the player's personal information.

    I thought it was an NPC, but the altar really doesn't even tell the player's information, so let him come to confront the player directly?

    This does not seem reasonable.

    At the moment when An Wujiu turned his face forward, the corner of Zhong Yirou's raised mouth came down.

    Her other hand silently touched her ear, her fingertips constantly tapping.

    Just as this fake An Wujiu said to her, "You know where the others are", a harsh noise appeared in Zhong Yirou's microphone , and then a beep.

    "You didn't meet anyone else along the way?" An Wujiu asked again.

    At this time, a woman's voice appeared in the headphones, and the tone was very cold.

    [Who are you? An Wujiu is next to you? ]

    Zhong Yirou's heart beat faster and faster, and the cold white corridor in front of her seemed to have no end, even gradually melting.

    Is this a hallucination?

    She even smelled that weird and disgusting smell again, like countless squirming bugs wrapped around herself, and then rotted a little bit.

    Zhong Yirou struggled to hold back the hallucination that almost made her vomit, trying to calm herself down.

    She pretended not to hear the human voice in the microphone, and continued to talk to the innocent in front of her.

    "Oh yes, where is the room where you found my work log?"

    [An Wu Jiu] pointed along the road ahead.

    "Second room just up the corner."

    While speaking, a cold voice came from the microphone.

    [Zhong Yirou, where are you? Why don't you answer? Can't hear me? ]

    Zhong Yirou quickly said, "Ah, I see."

    "Is this in front of you the northwest corner? Let's be in the northwest corner now." Zhong Yirou took a few steps forward, pointed to the corner and turned back, looking at the man who pretended to come out people.

    [An Wujiu] hummed and nodded slightly.

    Yang Erci at the other end of the microphone found the clue.

    [Are you in the northwest corner now? An Wu Jiu is watching you, so you can't answer my question, right? ]

    [You don't need to answer, make a mark, or give a cipher. ]

    Zhong Yirou faced the wall and turned her back to [An Wu Jiu], a second later, she turned to look at him, her face full of pride that she had thought of a good solution .

    "Or else. Let's make a mark, it's too boxy here, it's too easy to get lost, and maybe fall into hallucinations again at some point If you encounter such a dangerous thing again, it will be troublesome.”

    She deliberately repeated what [An Wu Jiu] said.

    "And you didn't say that you saw the illusion of other players turning into monsters and killing you. Maybe, this kind of thing will happen later, Make it clearer when you make a mark to escape."

    She said it well, [An Wujiu] also nodded, "What to do?"

    Zhong Yirou originally planned to use her fingernails to make marks, but after thinking for a while, she finally stretched out her index and middle fingers, put them together, put them on the lips and kissed them, Then print the lipstick on your finger to the wall.

    The snow-white corner wall has an extra hickey.

    "It's marked, the nails are probably not clear, and the lip print is red and eye-catching. This way we can remember it when we go around. "

    "Yeah." [An Wujiu] nodded, "Let's go in."

    Yang Erci heard the conversation between the two on the opposite side, and she felt that there must be something wrong.

    "I'm going out."

    "Where to?" Josh asked, but Yang Erci had already run out of the room. He originally thought he was left alone, but soon, footsteps appeared again.

    Yang Erci returned to the door and made a gesture to Josh.

    "You come with me."

    The two glanced at the evacuation map, determined their current orientation, and then went directly to the northwest corner of the first floor. None of the so-called lip prints were found.

    "Could we be in some vicious circle?" Josh looked at this corridor with no one in his heart, and felt a chill in his heart.

    Yang Erci frowned.

    Be sure to save her.

    Just as they were walking in circles in the corridor, they suddenly saw a strange nine-square grid on the ground with a route track on it.

    Yang Erci stepped forward.

    What is this.

    Soon, a golden light flashed, and the nine palaces on the ground suddenly disappeared, leaving nothing. Before long, a strange heat flow came from nowhere.

    Following this heat flow, Yang Erci and Josh once again followed the temperature.

    This time, as if something had been cracked, although they did not find the source of the heat flow, they saw a mottled red in the corner ahead Lip print.

    The next second, Yang Erci heard a voice—

    This so-called data room has no work log at all!

    Zhong Yirou uneasily followed [An Wujiu] into it, and found that there was actually a small suite, like an office room, she felt a little bit No, so I kept asking: "Where is the log?"

    But [An Wu Jiu] never answered.

    He let Zhong Yirou walk in front and he behind, forcing her to go to the suite inside, and then approach a wall.

    Just when Zhong Yirou's inner panic reached its peak, [An Wu Jiu], who was beside him, pulled out a soft leather pointer from nowhere, with a set of hands , strangled Zhong Yirou's slender neck and dragged it to the ground.

    The desire to survive made Zhong Yirou try to go up, grabbing the wall with one hand and the whip with the other, desperately shouting "help".

    "Help! Safe! Yes, someone pretends to be you! I'm dying! Help..."

    Under the severe pain, the air was squeezed out of this body, and when Zhong Yirou almost lost her strength to call for help, there was a loud bang behind her.

    Then there was another muffled crash.

    The perpetrator behind him fell down beside Zhong Yirou like a broken wall with a crumbling foundation.

    The tight leather whip loosened, and Zhong Yirou was released back into the water at the last moment like a dying fish. She panted weakly and looked behind her.

    Yang Erci came to save her. There was a hint of faint emotion on that face that was always indifferent.

    

    "Help..." Zhong Yirou, who was lying on the ground recovering her clarity, actually grabbed her trouser legs on the spot, with a happy smile on her face.

& nbsp;

    The voices are all false, and they are still joking here.

    Yang Erci let out a long sigh of relief, put down the chair that he had grabbed in his hand, and smashed him hard twice, all according to Smashed the back of the head.

    best not to be really innocent.

    An Wujiu who had been walking around with Shen Ti suddenly sneezed.

    The way he sneezes is funny, Shen Ti tilted his head to look.

    As a result, An Wujiu sneezed twice in a row, lowered his head and rubbed his nose a few times.

    "What's the matter with you?" Shen Ti asked.

    An Wu Jiu was confused, he touched his head, "I don't know either."

    "It's always feeling like a chill in the back of my head."
