Chapter 2066

On the other side of the bicycle lane, a few meters away, the bus station stood silently in the sky.

From where they are, they can only see the large advertisements behind the bus stop and the stop signs standing aside; But neither Lin Sanjiu nor pan Cui was in a hurry - they turned their heads and watched the mime's back disappear completely into the shadow of the alley, which happened to spit out a long breath.

"It's really gone," Lin Sanjiu said with a bit of inconceivable, "he actually left like this? I thought he would stay to make sure we went the next way."

"I think so too," Pan Cui looked around suspiciously. "This road hasn't been closed... Even if we don't go to the bus stop and go to other places, how does he know?"

This road is a common two-way street in the city, which is unobstructed in front and back, extending in all directions. It is not only connected to several roads in other directions, but also has a pedestrian bridge or several zebra crossings in the distance; On both sides of the two-way road, there are buildings and lanes. If someone wants to escape the control of the copy, this seems to be a good test site.

When no one spoke, the whole empty and abandoned city was pressed down with a heavy, frozen silence, and even the sound of breathing seemed to be broken at any time.

"Shall we try to walk?" Lin Sanjiu suggested, "although I don't think the copy will let us simply go to the end in one breath, there's no harm in trying."

Pan Cui pursed her lips and turned her eyes to the bus stop not far away.

"I think since the copy dare to put us here, there must be preventive measures." She really didn't agree, but she didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "besides, the scope here is too large to see the end at a glance, and we can't keep going... It's a waste of physical strength, a waste of time, and the risk of not finding the way back."

Her concerns are reasonable; Lin Sanjiu saw that she didn't want to, so he put down the topic, nodded and said, "let's go there?"

Pan Cui smiled at her. "You're a rare person," she whispered, stepping out of the bike lane. "Many people I met can't stand the difference between others and him. They always think it's an attack on him..."

Lin Sanjiu suspected that he was blushing at the moment; With a dry cough, she followed up and said "where?".

"And you are also very gentle," Pan Cui boasted, and said as she walked, "you were still thinking about Pina just now, which is rare among the evolutors who sweep the snow in front of the door. Speaking of it, I'm also a little ashamed that you saved me with your 'spare action', but I didn't use my 'spare action' to help you or Pina..."

"'spare action '?" Lin Sanjiu was stunned.

"Ah, that's my name. You should also have found it?"

Pan Cui looked back at her, Said: "among the actions assigned to us by the pantomime actors, some are the basic actions required by the action, some are clues, some are the key to the successful departure, and some are traps... Others are not used in our own scenes, and they are redundant. I doubt they can be used to help others. This also explains why we are still limited by the actions of the pantomime actors after we leave the scenes respectively."

Lin Sanjiu half opened his mouth and stammered a little when he spoke: "ah, yes, yes, I also found it."

Teacher Yi whispered, "I'm sorry for you."

So, the action of "shampoo" must be one of the traps... Lin Sanjiu turned a deaf ear to Teacher Yi, coughed again, and turned to the topic: "do you see the sign of the next road?"

"Look at the other side," Pan Cui said, bypassing the bus stop - then her footsteps were suddenly stopped.

Lin Sanjiu felt tight in his heart and immediately rushed over, glancing at him. Then he was as stunned as pan Cui.

The billboard on the next road is pasted on the front of the billboard at the bus stop, just blocking the face of a model.

"The way to the end?"

The road in front of this card should not be one of the roads leading to the terminal casino.

The road in front of this card is a more difficult road, and it is allowed to enter after wagering at least 70 points.

The road in front of this card is a total of 6 meters long. The winner will be the one who meets the conditions after completing this section of road safely. If you linger on the road for more than 24 hours, you will be judged as losing. After losing your bet items, the gambler will be repatriated to the starting point.

The odds ratio of the road before this card is 1:7. The winner can get back the chips he has bet at the end of this section of the road, and get another 490 chips for the compensation of this section of the road (calculated by 70 points below).

The road in front of this card allows only one person to enter every 15 minutes.

"No... impossible?" Pan Cui stared at the notice board and mumbled, "it's not the way to the end, it's difficult to walk, and the bet points and odds are so high..."

This means that this road is not only risky and much more difficult than the previous two roads, but also all this will be useless even if they get away with it.

"Wait a minute," Lin Sanjiu suddenly reacted, quickly touched pan Cui, drew her attention back, and said, "this sign is not quite the same as what we saw before?"

Pan Cui was stunned and immediately understood.

On the front of the previous billboard, there was only one sentence indicating the number of betting points, and on the back was more commentary, rules and precautions; But this time, only a few commentaries appeared on the front of the sign. The sign itself was firmly attached to the billboard and could not be turned over at all.

"In other words, apart from these commentaries, is there any other information to provide..." Pan Cui wiped her face and said, "maybe you are right. We really need to walk around to see if there are other roads?"

Lin Sanjiu didn't speak and nodded in silence.

There is another idea that is expanding and occupying her mind uncontrollably - if the "road difficulty" is negatively correlated with the "probability of reaching the end", that is, the higher the former, the lower the latter, does this mean that the puppet masters have embarked on an impossible road to the end early?

But before getting more information, her worry is useless, because she doesn't know that the premise of her guess is incorrect.

However, she understood this truth, but she couldn't stop thinking nonsense; It was not until she and pan Cui went out separately for a while that another idea gradually cast a shadow large enough to drown her previous worries.

According to the agreed time, an hour later, Lin Sanjiu returned to the bus station.

Not to mention fatigue for the time being, she just glanced at Pan Cui's face from a distance and saw that she felt the same as herself - the neighborhood was too accessible, and each road had branches in several directions, and there were several tall buildings on each branch; If you choose any direction, you will face more choices, as if you will never finish this city.

Because there are too many choices and too many places, no matter how far they have traveled or how many roads they have seen, it seems that there is no difference between them and not taking a step.

"This is not a coincidence," Lin Sanjiu frowned and said, "we walked in the randomly selected direction for an hour, and we didn't see any signs at the beginning of the road..."

"I'm afraid no matter how far you go, there won't be a sign for the next road?" Pan Cui gave a wry smile and said, "from the rooftop, the road we met is getting more and more difficult, and we need more and more points, but the possibility of reaching the destination is getting smaller and smaller... And even the number of alternative roads has been finally reduced to one. This is certainly not a coincidence."

Lin Sanjiu sat down on the bench waiting for the bus, feeling his fatigue floating in a daze.

"As you said, if this is a trend, then even if we can complete this road, the next road will be more demanding, and we will definitely not reach the end. Failure is sooner or later." She thought for a moment and said, "we can't sit here all the time... Do you remember the final failure condition written on the notice board on the roof at the beginning?"

"You mean..." Pan Cui's eyebrows tightened. "People who still linger in this city for more than 24 hours after losing all their chips will become duplicate creatures?"

"Yes," Lin Sanjiu nodded, "but it didn't make it clear. If someone still has chips, but wanders back and forth in the city, and doesn't choose a way to go, what punishment will he have."

In fact, there may be no need to make it clear - as long as you look around at this empty and dead city, you will know that this kind of "self exile" is itself a punishment.

If someone doesn't give up his special items and is unwilling to bet on a road that can't reach the end, he will always walk in the empty and endless City, without direction, materials, replenishment, companions... He can only wait for the transmission that will appear after being disturbed by the flood.

What's more, Lin Sanjiu still needs to go out as soon as possible to meet the puppet master and his party - if he doesn't go on the road, it means he will be separated; Now if we are separated, we don't know when it will happen again.

They sat in silence for a while in the bus stop.

"I think we'd better go on the road."

Pan Cui finally opened her mouth: "it's not a way not to go on the road, unless you plan to use it hard to transmit. At present, we have only earned 35.05 chips. We have to bet them all and add another item. In case of failure on this road, we will lose nearly 35 points... That's a very good special item. This risk is really great."

She paused, "However, from another point of view, this road is only 6 meters long. No matter how difficult it is, it is also limited. As long as we can win the chips of this road, we will have 420 points more available. Even if we fail on the next road and are repatriated to the starting point of Tiantai, we still have enough capital to start again... The risk of losing 35 points can win a gain of 420 points. In my opinion, this risk benefit ratio is worth a try."

"Her thinking is really clear," Teacher Yi suddenly sighed in her mind, "she just doesn't know that you don't need her to analyze the risk return ratio, and you must also go on the road."

Even if the starting point is different, their final decision is the same: betting.

In addition to the 35 point blank chips won - she didn't bother to take out the 0.05 brand - Lin Sanjiu took out [teach students according to their aptitude]; After she makes a bet in a while, she will find a blank chip at 5 o'clock.

"I'll go first," Pan Cui shook Lin Sanjiu's hand and said solemnly, "I'll still stop in front of you as I did in the office."

Anyway, we have to stop and wait. It doesn't make much difference who goes first. Lin Sanjiu nodded; Watching pan Cui put down some chips under the notice board.

Sure enough, a yellow arrow appeared on the road in front of the bus stop - but strangely, only one arrow appeared.

Pan Cui stepped on the arrow and was a little confused: "where is the next arrow?"

Answering her, it was a bus that suddenly came silently in the distance; Under the glare of the two, the dark glass bus slowly slid into the platform, and the yellow arrow pointed to the passenger door.
