Cataclysm: Precognition system vs. luck system

Chapter 334

"what--"

The screams coming from the front interrupted Rong Xiu's increasingly dark thoughts.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

The players and tourists in front were crowded together, screaming, and then there were shouts and curses.

Zhao Baimeng squeezed back through the crowd, slapping his heart in fear. "If I had known, I wouldn't have walked so fast to grab the front row. Just now, a player near me was pushed from behind and fell directly into the swamp in front. He was swallowed by a pitch-black crocodile lurking there. It scared me to death. It was swallowed in one gulp, without a trace of blood."

As she spoke, she moved closer to Si Tiantian to seek a sense of security.

Si Tiantian frowned, "Do you know who pushed it?"

Zhao Baimeng shook his head. "I don't know. Behind that player are two other players and a tourist ghost. The tourist ghost says the player in the middle pushed him. The player in the middle says the player on the left pushed him. The player on the left says the tourist ghost pushed him. In short, the two players and the tourist ghost are blaming each other and have their own stories. Now they're arguing."

"what--"

Zhao Baimeng had just finished speaking when another scream was heard. The crocodile in the swamp was delighted to receive another delicious snack that fell from the sky.

The crowd immediately exploded, and then scattered away from the swamp in panic.

"Who is the one who lacks the great virtue to push me?"

"It's another player who died this time. It must be the tourist ghost who got away."

"But that tourist ghost was arguing right under our noses, and the second player who was pushed down was on the other side. It couldn't have been it."

"Who is that?"

The players had panicked expressions on their faces, and were terrified, shouting to catch the mastermind who was lurking among them.

Zhao Baimeng's mind moved, "Could it be a mandrill?"

This involves the side quest of this dungeon, but nothing related to the mandrill ghost was encountered all day yesterday, and the side quest was not required to be completed, so the players did not take it seriously. Now that Si Tiantian mentioned it, they immediately felt that it was very likely.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that those tourists did it on purpose. After all, those tourists on the raft had a history of misconduct before.

"The tour guide Gui is still walking. Why don't we catch up with him? Otherwise, we won't be able to see him anymore in a while."

"Good good."

The players were trembling with fear, keeping their eyes and ears open, and concentrating their attention to avoid the swamp with crocodiles and continue on their way. For safety reasons, they also took the initiative to stay away from the tourist ghosts. Those who could walk behind would never walk in front, and would not give the tourist ghosts any chance to push them.

Some players walked in groups of three or four, keeping a watchful eye on each other.

But despite this, a third victim appeared, another scream was heard, and a crocodile in another swamp also got a small snack.

The players immediately began to panic.

"This time it's confirmed, there must be a problem among our players."

A few timid ones, fearing they would be next, immediately raised their opinions, "No, we can't go on like this. I'm afraid we'll be next. We must find a way to find the mandrill that's lurking around us."

"Then how can we find them? There are so many of us, and we don't know each other. We can't tell who's real and who's fake, and who's impersonating the Mandrill."

"this......"

Having too many people is indeed a problem. Some players are lone wolves and don’t know other players at all, so it is difficult for them to judge whether they are real or fake.

"Why don't we just follow the boss? The other players might be fake, but the boss just fought, so he definitely won't be replaced."

"Makes sense."

As a result, Si Tiantian and Rong Xiu became popular, and players quickly flocked to them.

Chen Yan'er limped by and stood there reluctantly, with vicious resentment in her eyes. Si Tiantian had harmed her to this point. If it weren't for the luck system protecting her and allowing her to escape from the snake group, she would have died eight hundred times already. Now she was asked to rely on Si Tiantian, and she couldn't bring herself to do that.

It just so happened that everyone had left, and she would be left alone without anyone pushing her down.

Quan Zhiyi, Jian Xingmei, and Chu Jingchuan were also singled out. However, Jian Xingmei was entangled with Chu Jingchuan, and the two were close together. Seeing this, Chen Yan'er was almost furious again. Jian Xingmei was shameless. Not only had she exposed her before, but now she was still entangled with her brother Jingchuan. Shameless, a bitch, just as mean as Si Tiantian. One day she would kill him and replace her as the pearl of Beijing City...

The other players didn't know what she was thinking, as they were vying for her favor.

Shao Bai, Qiu Ningyan and others took advantage of their acquaintance and sat closest to Si Tiantian and Rong Xiu. Of course, men sat next to men and women sat next to women.

Rong Xiu was very impatient with people getting close to him, and he gave Shao Bai a cold look when his arm bumped into his. Shao Bai couldn't stand it anymore, and moved to the side awkwardly, but was soon pushed by the players who crowded around him, and he staggered and almost fell into Rong Xiu's arms.

Rong Xiu's face immediately turned dark, he raised his hand and pushed the person back, then looked at the crowd around him that was squeezed like sardines in a can, the veins on his forehead jumped, what a bunch of idiots!

Si Tiantian's eyes curved as she squeezed his hand soothingly. Then she spoke, "Didn't you ever suspect that the person being pushed was fake? The player had items on him, so how could he be swallowed up without even a scream or a struggle? If one player did this, it could be explained as him running out of items and having run out of tricks, but if all three did this, there's something wrong."

Qiu Ningyan was the first to react. "Tiantian, are you saying that the person behind this is deliberately creating mystery and pushing a dummy to make us suspect ourselves and start a internal conflict?"

Si nodded sweetly, "Very likely."

"Does anyone here recognize or know the three players who were just pushed down? Or did you see clearly what the people who were pushed down looked like?"

"This...I don't know."

"I don't know him either."

"I only saw a silhouette from behind. The crocodile opened its mouth so quickly that I couldn't see the person's face at all."

"Me too, I didn't see what he looked like."

"Then who said the one being pushed down was a player?"

"Didn't you say that?"

"No, I think it was you who said that?"

"I never said that. I heard it from other players..."

The players talked about it all at once, and finally pointed fingers at each other, but no one admitted that they were the first to blow the whistle and say that the person who was pushed down was a player.

This also means that Si Tiantian's suspicion is correct. The three players who were pushed down might really be fake, and the one who clamored and said that he saw the players being pushed down might be the troublemaker.
