Chapter 718 Ultimate Notes 3 6
But it still made quite a noise, and the giant heard it and walked over there.
Li Jia, the woman on the pipe, gritted her teeth upon seeing this, cursing inwardly that this guy had dragged her into this mess; if she fell, they would both die.
Among the pile of boxes, Wu Xie noticed this scene through a hole in one of the boxes and muttered to himself, "It seems that the giant can only teleport when it sees a person?"
"Shh, Tianzhen, what are you muttering about? Don't talk." Fatty Wang was on edge, afraid that hearing him speak would attract the giant.
Wu Xie had no choice but to continue observing quietly, pondering whether his idea was correct.
The man on the pipe saw the giant coming towards him and tried to jump again, but all that remained were thin pipes.
The thin pipe couldn't hide his body; if he jumped, he would be exposed.
The giant took large strides and soon reached the bottom of the pipe.
He looked up and gave a stiff, eerie smile—an expression that could scare a child to tears.
Chen Kaige lay prone on the pipe directly above the giant, holding his breath and not daring to move an inch, not even daring to breathe too forcefully.
The giant looked around but couldn't find a suitable weapon to knock the toy down, so he had no choice but to reach out towards the pipe.
Seeing this, the two people on the pipe knew that the situation was very unfavorable.
Li Jia wanted to try to go down to the ground, but she was not far from Chen Kaige's position. If she went down, the giant would see her, and she might die immediately.
But if she didn't go down, she would still die once the giant destroyed the pipes. Either way, she was going to die, and she was truly desperate.
Chen Kaige is even more desperate than her being targeted by the giant. He is now in the same predicament: if he doesn't move, he will die; if he does move, he will die. There is nothing he can do but wait for death. There is no use in trying to find a solution.
Everyone was focused on the situation above, but Qin Xuan and Xie Yuchen noticed that it was getting dark outside.
With Qin Xuan's earlier reminder, Xie Yuchen, Hei Xiazi, and Zhang Qiling all guessed that nightfall might be a special time.
As expected, the two men on the pipe were waiting to die in despair, while the people hiding on the ground were waiting for the outcome.
The giant suddenly stopped moving; his outstretched hand paused, and then he actually withdrew it.
He turned around, walked towards the front door, and then went straight out the door.
Everyone waited for about ten minutes but he didn't come back. The two people on the pipe who were hovering between life and death were the happiest.
Qin Xuan also left his hiding place and sat on an assembly line, casually taking out the dagger he was carrying and playing with it in his hand.
Seeing that nothing had happened after she left, the others also went out.
Li Jia jumped down the pipe and rolled her eyes at Chen Kaige, who had come down with her: "You almost killed me."
"I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do." Although Chen Kaige said sorry, there was no remorse in his eyes.
In the dungeon, as long as I can survive, it doesn't matter if I use her as a scapegoat.
If he hadn't been alerted by any movement, he might have pushed the person down to buy himself time to escape.
Seeing the glint in his eyes, Li Jia knew he wasn't a good person, so she ignored him and found a place to rest alone.
I don't know how long I can rest, or what I'll face next. Right now, it's best to conserve my energy.
The others also dispersed to rest, having just experienced a physically and mentally exhausting afternoon, and had no intention of talking at all.
After Wu Xie and Fatty Wang met up with the others, they chatted for a few minutes and then walked over to Qin Xuan's side.
"Looks like you guessed right. We should be able to breathe a sigh of relief after dark." Xie Yuchen took out a handkerchief and wiped the assembly line counter, then sat down to make sure it wasn't dirty.
Qin Xuan nodded slightly and guessed, "There are still four days left, and the rules of the game may change."
"Hide and seek is either about hiding or finding someone, why should it be the other way around?" Fatty Wang thought for a moment and said.
Wu Xie stated his guess: "It's very likely, and I think that giant can only teleport when it sees a person."
"Hey guys, don't you feel hungry at all after a busy afternoon?" Black Bear suddenly said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang exclaimed, "That's true! This whole afternoon has passed and I'm neither hungry nor thirsty."
"You won't get hungry in the dungeon, and your body doesn't have any basic physiological needs," Qin Xuan said.
"That means you don't need to eat, drink, go to the toilet, or sleep?"
"Yes, but it will be physically and mentally tiring."
Upon hearing this, the group fell silent. Was this still normal? What kind of place was this?
"Qin Xuan, have you completed many dungeons?" Wu Xie asked.
He wondered if they would be constantly entering game instances in the future.
Qin Xuan nodded, as if he could read his thoughts, and said, "You'll be the same in the future, so be prepared."
"Are all dungeons this bloody and violent?"
"People almost always die. In my last dungeon, I dealt with all sorts of ghosts. If you were scared and screamed, your head would roll on the ground immediately."
"What?! There are ghosts?! And they won't even let us scream!" Fatty Wang's eyes widened.
Wu Xie imagined it for a moment, and swallowed hard, feeling a little scared.
Xie Yuchen was also somewhat surprised, as they might encounter each other again later.
Zhang Qiling's face was expressionless, while Hei Xiazi was thinking about what was on his shoulder.
"Yes, and on the last night, all the ghosts killed anyone they saw. There was no point in running away; they could only fight back." Qin Xuan added a few more words.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuchen grasped the key point in her words: "So those ghosts can be attacked physically?"
"It won't work for the first few days, only the last night will work."
"Could it be that we can attack that giant on the last day or that very night?" Wu Xie asked.
Qin Xuan curled his lips: "Possibly, but the giant is too big, and it's easy to get injured if you're not careful."
The others knew she was right; saying she was only slightly injured was a euphemism.
A head-on collision with a giant could result in a broken bone at best, and if you can't dodge in time, you might even be crushed by his foot.
Most importantly, it's very difficult to break free once a giant grabs your body.

Early in the morning, just as dawn was breaking, everyone heard the cheerful voices of children coming from outside the door.
It sounded like many children were making noises, and at that moment it was a little surreal, as if they were in a real kindergarten.
The appearance of a group of children in the factory seemed quite out of place.
Although no one understood why, they dared not let their guard down.
A group of little kids hopped in from outside. Wu Xie counted them and found there were ten people in total, matching the number of his group.
"Let's play hide-and-seek! I'm going to find a place to hide so no one can find me!" one of the little girls exclaimed excitedly.
A little boy smiled and nodded, then suddenly turned around and looked at the ten adults, making several of them tense up.
