Sick beauty loses horse in thriller game

Chapter 614 No Survivors 10
As Jiang Lai spoke, he took out two small round tables from the prop bar and placed steaming tea and freshly baked snacks on them.

Seeing her like this, Chu Feng couldn't help but laugh and joked: "We look like we are having afternoon tea now."

Wen Jiao also smiled and said, "With Sister Jiang by our side, we can enjoy such a relaxing and pleasant time even if we are in an epic purgatory-level dungeon."

Looking at the various exquisite snacks on the table and breathing in the aroma of the black tea, Wen Jiao suddenly remembered the scene when she first met Jiang Lai in the robot copy, and the smile on her face became more gentle.

"Everyone, please sit down. Help yourself to whatever you want to eat or drink," said Jiang Lai.

Chu Feng sat down and said, "Let's discuss the following topics. Should we continue to work in groups or explore together? If we explore together, will it increase the difficulty of the puzzles we encounter? If we work in groups, how should we combine them to maximize the team's advantages?"

"I think we can try a collective exploration." Song Qi thought for a moment and said, "After all, we don't know what will happen in this mysterious villa in the next moment, what the next puzzle will be, and what color the area that will cause our negative state will be."

After that, he added: "If the method of gathering everyone together to explore doesn't work, we can consider doing it in groups."

"If we have to group them, I suggest that Wen Ling and Wen Jiao should be in one group. Because they are very familiar with each other and can take care of each other. Their talents, skills, and even negative states are complementary. Putting them in one group will allow them to maximize their strengths." Chu Feng said.

"Then, I can be in a group with Chi Qiuping, because our strengths are relatively even. If we encounter any problems, we should be able to discuss and cooperate to solve them. If it really doesn't work, we still have life-saving props to use. Xiao Jiang, you and Fu Qiming are the strongest, so the two of you can be in a group with Jin Jiahui and Song Qi respectively."

After all, Jin Jiahui and Song Qi had not yet completed the puzzle, which made everyone a little worried about whether their next actions could be carried out smoothly.

After hearing Deputy Director Chu's suggestion, Chi Qiuping suddenly felt nervous.

After all, if Jiang Lai hadn't been there, she would probably have become a snack in the mouths of those terrible piranhas!

It’s not that she doesn’t trust Deputy Director Chu, but having Jiang Lai around makes her feel more secure.

After entering this dungeon, his innate skill of summoning birds was unlikely to be of any use, and he was also burdened with the negative status of claustrophobia.

Chi Qiuping pursed her lips and looked at Jiang Lai eagerly, feeling somewhat reluctant to part with her.

The sharp-minded Jin Jiahui immediately noticed her abnormality. After thinking for a while, she said to Chu Feng, "Brother Chu, I want to be in a group with you. Is it possible?"

As if she was afraid of being rejected by Deputy Director Chu, she quickly added: "Ah, don't worry, I promise I won't hold you back. I was caught off guard before, and was suddenly separated from my teammates. I fell into a negative state and was not mentally prepared, so it took me some extra time to adjust."

"Brother Chu, I think you and Song Qi are a perfect match. You and Qiu Ping have two negative states, one is sleepwalking and the other is claustrophobia. If both of you have negative states at the same time, it is unlikely that you can help each other." Jiang Lai said. "But Song Qi is different. His negative state is social phobia. If you are sleepwalking, it is unlikely that you can communicate with him, but it will be more conducive to your cooperation."

"Also, Jiahui is not suitable to be in the same group with me. If my mania is activated, without distinguishing friend from foe, if I hurt her, it will directly lead to her negative state, that is, post-traumatic stress disorder, which will be detrimental to our subsequent cooperation, exploration of related areas, and completion of side quests."

Jiang Lai was thinking that maybe these negative states arranged for them by the game copy would have a mutual influence on each other, similar to the situation of mutual promotion and mutual restraint.

However, she has not yet found any relevant rules and can only conduct some analysis based on what she has inferred.

"You have thought it through very carefully." Deputy Director Chu said, "Then let's do it according to your suggestion."

Jiang Lai nodded, and then said: "I think that this copy will most likely not allow the eight of us to appear in the same color area at the same time. In that case, our advantages will be obvious, but so will our disadvantages."

Chu Feng took over the conversation and said, “You are worried that once we gather together and explore a certain area together, it will reduce our efficiency in clearing each puzzle game. After all, we must ensure a 5/8 puzzle success rate in every hour we spend solving puzzles... In other words, we must ensure that we solve every puzzle % of the time.”

Having said this, his voice suddenly became extremely serious.

"After all, those who cannot solve the puzzle, obtain the key, and escape from the predicament...will disappear."

Putting aside the safety of the entire team, no one wants to end up missing in this strange villa.

After listening to what Deputy Director Chu said, Song Qi couldn't help but raise his hand and scratch his head.

"Oh, this is so frustrating! This kind of setting where people are not allowed to fight the enemy with real weapons, but have to be a riddler and let everyone guess the riddle. If they can't solve the riddle, they will also disappear. This is too maddening."

He is the kind of person with excellent physical fitness. He would rather fight the enemy to the death with real swords and guns than play this kind of puzzle game that consumes brain cells.

"Well, we will still work in groups of two, helping each other, trying our best to increase the success rate of solving the puzzles and collect as many keys as possible," Jiang Lai said.

As she spoke, she handed Wen Jiao a cup of black tea, and then asked, "You said before that the humidity in this villa is very heavy, and it's the kind of gloomy humidity. So, when you were solving the puzzle in the room, did you feel the change in humidity, or did you feel anything else unusual?"

Wen Jiao shook her head. "It's very strange. When I was trapped, that gloomy and wet feeling disappeared..."
