Chapter 178

The church was enveloped in deathly silence.

Wen Jianyan lowered his eyes, seeming to be searching for something.

Shaoyao held her breath slightly, anxiously waiting for the other party's decision.

After a few minutes, the other party raised his eyes and nodded:

"I see."

"Then...you agree?"

Shaoyao looked nervous, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, Wen Jianyan shook his head: "Not completely."

The other people were stunned.

"First of all, there is something you need to know. Before I met you, I already knew that there was only one person left in your team."

Wen briefly described the scene he had just seen in the church - inside the open door was an empty chapel, and two dark silhouettes in it, motionless, with their backs to the door.

The young man lowered his eyes, his expression still gentle, and said a cruel fact in a calm tone.

"According to my experience, the chance of your teammates surviving is extremely low."

"What...?" Shaoyao looked stunned, as if she couldn't react, "Yes, they just disappeared..."

"Yes, but it has disappeared into the space of another concept."

Wen Jianyan said calmly.

Although it can be "seen" after the bell rings, but whether it can be entered and whether there is any danger after entering, what will happen if you cannot leave in time before the next bell rings... No one knows the answer.

"If you want to save people, it is different from risking my life and the life of my friend."

Shaoyao's face turned gloomy little by little.

Indeed, what the other party said is absolutely correct.

She knew that this was too difficult. Even if there were epic items as a condition of the transaction, the probability of the other party agreeing was very low - they were not even teammates. After all, they would not hesitate even if the other party's death was unknown.

He turned around and left, didn't he?

But what he didn't expect was that the young man's conversation suddenly changed:

"So, if we want to trade, the content needs to be changed to a certain extent."

"?"

Shaoyao was startled and raised her eyes, almost unable to believe her ears.

"First of all, you need to sign a subordination contract with me and share tasks through the system to ensure the ownership of the props after the task is completed and the authenticity of the information you shared previously," Wen Jianyan said without any unnecessary expression on his face.

, the voice is very light, but it inexplicably gives people a sense of oppression that cannot be ignored, "As a reward, after entering the church, I will help you rescue your teammates to the best of my ability."

"However, once I realize that it is too difficult to rescue your teammates, and it may even cost my team's life, I will change my strategy and will only give you a certain amount of points to help - 30 of the points I have in my account.

as the upper limit.”

This is a very harsh condition, which almost completely cuts off the other party's ability to lie and regret, but the assistance provided is very limited.

The only advantage is——

Under the guarantee of the system, people break the contract.

[Honesty comes first] Live broadcast room:

"Oh my god, this change of conditions is too big."

"Yes, and it is completely tilted towards the anchor. It means that whether the anchor can save her teammates in the end, she has to share completely true clues and mission progress."

"How can this couple agree?"

"You know, I also directly agree to your deal and enter the church with you. After ensuring that all the information in your hands is squeezed out, you and your teammates can be left behind."

Wen Jianyan paused and continued:

"Of course, no one except you has ever entered the church, so you also gave false information to deliberately lure us into traps to replace your teammates, or some kind of mission that requires human life."

His tone was so understated, but the situation he said was so cruel... What's even more frightening is that in the nightmare, the "possibilities" of these two situations are really too high. Even among teammates

They can do it, not to mention that they have only formed a temporary team once at most.

The air was dead silent.

Whether it was Su Chenghuang Mao or Shaoyao, they couldn't help but tighten their bodies.

"Unfortunately, we don't have much time, so we can't play these intrigue games. So I will tell you all the risks and the bottom line I can accept. If you agree, you are welcome to join. If you don't

If you agree, we will treat the information you gave us previously as half-truths and half-false news."

The white young man had a dull expression, his amber eyes were slightly drooped, and he had a purely rational temperament, appearing so distant and indifferent.

"Of course, for safety reasons, we will not welcome you to accompany us next time."

[Honesty comes first] In the live broadcast room:

"Absolutely, he is indeed a liar who often deceives people. He knows these tricks very well. If he were not always targeted and stabbed in the back by copies, it would be really difficult for him to fall over."

"...I take back what I said just now that I couldn't agree to it."

"He really knows when telling the truth is most useful!"

"That's right, after all the pros, cons and risks are clearly explained, this seemingly most unreasonable plan becomes the most reasonable one. It's really awesome."

"how?"

Wen Jianyan asked patiently.

"..."

Shaoyao stared blankly at the young man in front of her.

She clearly knows that this plan is the most beneficial to the other party. She can get what she wants even without paying too much, but she herself is the restricted party in the entire transaction, but...

She couldn't deny that the plan the other party was talking about could ensure the other party's safety and the stability of cooperation to the greatest extent.

Shaoyao took a deep breath, seemed to finally make up her mind, and nodded slowly:

"Okay, I agree."

Wen Jianyan lowered her eyelashes and suddenly nodded briefly. The indifferent, cruel, almost condescending expression was softened easily, like ice melting into spring water.

He became gentle and approachable again.

He stretched out his hand towards the peony:

“A pleasure to work with.”

Under the leadership of Shaoyao, the group of people moved forward quickly again.

After walking around the side of the chapel, a small stone arch leading down was in front of everyone's eyes. The bricks on the edge were a strange dark brown color, as if they had been soaked in blood for a long time. The wooden door

Half-covered, a strong smell of putrefaction and blood escaped from it.

A series of messy bloody footprints came out crookedly, which should have been left by Shaoyao just now.

"After entering, there will be a lot of fresh corpses, which should have been transported on carts before."

Shaoyao turned her head and said to everyone, her expression solemn, "They will be awakened by light and the breath of living people. After awakening, they will attack incoming people differently. We were besieged before, and we finally managed to fight our way out...

Now that we have experience this time, we should be able to avoid conflicts with them."

She instructed:

"Prepare the protective shield before entering, and activate it after entering. It can block out the smell of living people. Follow me after you go down, and be careful where you step."

Several people nodded.

After getting ready, Shaoyao took the lead and walked down.

The wooden door, stained with blood and oily, creaked softly and was slowly pushed open, revealing the crooked stone steps leading to the darkness.

Several people held their breath, stepped lightly, and walked down cautiously.

The darkness gradually covered his head.

The hollow, deliberately suppressed footsteps echoed in the narrow stone passage, and the air became turbid little by little, giving people the illusion of suffocation.

Wen Jianyan followed Shaoyao and walked deeper into the stone steps step by step.

The space gradually becomes wider.

The rancid smell became even stronger, completely covering one's mouth and nose as if it were something real, making one feel dizzy.

Based on the experience last time, Shaoyao did not turn on any lighting equipment, but just pressed against the right side of the wall and walked forward slowly and cautiously.

According to her, the last time she and her teammates entered this place, although they were attacked by living zombies unexpectedly, in the midst of a hectic resistance, they still managed to clear a road to the right in preparation for evacuation.

It is used occasionally because with it, Shaoyao can escape from the church alone.

There was dead silence in my ears.
