    Such a weird accident suddenly happened, how could the survivors dare to stay in this carriage.

    However, when everyone wanted to leave, they discovered that the passage doors at the front and back of Carriage 12 had been locked at some point.

    Looking through the glass window of the iron door to other carriages, there was no movement.

    The real players knew very well that it was impossible for them to leave this carriage, so no one struggled needlessly.

    However, there are still people in the NPC trying to break the glass of the passage door. Of course, no matter what tools are used and how hard the glass is, the glass still does not move.

    The train continued to move forward, and the scenery outside the window was receding rapidly. It was impossible to escape through the window.

    After enough trouble, the people in the carriage could only accept the status quo and find a place to occupy in the mess, either alone or in alliance with others.

    Because they still had the identities given by the system, Ji Ning and the others did not dare to look too familiar. Like most players, they behaved like temporary partners and chose to stay in the eighth box in the corner.

    Song Weiyang and Qin Yanshu, who were not with Ji Ning when the incident happened, gathered around her to ask about the situation, and Xing Ye cleared all the meat out of the box.

    The brief calm did not let a few people relax, because everyone knew that the dungeon did not become easier, but only became more difficult.

    Soon after, the broadcast came again confirming this.

    It’s still the familiar weird child’s voice: “Not bad, not bad, there are fewer people. The smell of the carriage is much better. But it’s not enough! What should we do? Why not erase the fraction of the number of people. Now there are only ten positions in the car that are safe zones. After the countdown is over, those who are not in the correct position will be electrocuted to death!”

    “Not bad, there are fewer people…”

    The children’s voice broadcast continued, and the faces of everyone in the carriage inevitably became serious.

    Compared with the first time, which was just a pure elimination competition, the second broadcast requires people to find the right position to survive, but how to find it?On what basis?

    Apart from one rule, no other information is known.

    After the two broadcasts, the radio played familiar piano music. Along with the seemingly cheerful music, a child’s voice began to count down: “100, 99, 98…”

    Everyone panicked when they heard this countdown of only one hundred seconds.The time given is too short!

    The four people in the eighth box were stunned. Xing Ye and Song Weiyang were rummaging through the things in the box, while Ji Ning and Qin Yanshu were silently thinking.

    “‘Pay attention to your surroundings.'” Ji Ning muttered the reminder and looked around, wondering what these four words meant.

    Xing Ye even rummaged through the NPC’s backpack, pushed away a bunch of normal things, put his hands on his hips and frowned, “The answer shouldn’t be found in the car.”

    When Song Weiyang heard what he said, he stopped moving and agreed: “That’s right, otherwise this would be too casual.”

    The countdown did not stop for a moment, and the numbers in the child’s mouth became smaller and smaller: “74, 73, 72…”

    Ji Ning chewed the word “around” over and over again, her mind spinning rapidly.

    What exactly can appear around each player?

    All around… Ji Ning was thinking about it, and suddenly he remembered a story he had seen when he was a child – a candle bought with a copper plate can fill an entire room with its light when lit.

    So things that can exist around everyone at the same time are not necessarily just physical objects!

    The answer in Ji Ning’s heart was ready to come out.

    At the same time, Qin Yanshu, who had been silent, finally spoke, his voice cold and steady, especially convincing: “Listen to this piece of music.”

    “The well-known “Ode to Joy.”” Song Weiyang answered, then frowned and said, “Is this the answer?”

    Xing Ye saw Ji Ning’s complicated expression, put his arm around her shoulders and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

    Ji Ning looked at Xing Ye, covered her mouth and whispered in He’s ear to explain: “The game prompts to ‘pay attention to your surroundings’, which should mean paying attention to the music on the radio.”

    “Well, the rhythm that appears frequently at the beginning is exactly eight, which corresponds to the number of boxes.” Xing Ye didn’t understand too detailed music theory, but of course the superficial information would not be missed.

    When Qin Yanshu heard what Ji Ning said to Xing Ye, his eyes swept across her face, and a gentle light briefly appeared in her eyes.

    “mi, mi, fa, sol, sol, fa, mi, re. It’s indeed eight notes, but that’s not the key. The key is the staff.” Qin Yanshu looked away, no longer looking at the posture of Ji Ning and Xing Ye sticking together.

    “40, 39, 38…” The countdown number in the child’s voice is getting closer and closer to the end.

    Qin Yanshu didn’t go into too much detail and stated his reasoning straightforwardly: “There are four gaps between the five lines of the staff, corresponding to the four beds in each box. All the eight notes in the first sentence of “Ode to Joy” are quarter notes, and the grid where the ‘note head’ is located is the so-called safe position.”

    The three people who didn’t understand music were stunned.

    Ji Ning thought to herself that she thought Qin Yanshu’s hands were suitable for playing the piano, but he can indeed play the piano.At the same time, he quickly took out his mobile phone and searched for the staff score of “Ode to Joy” to watch with Xing Ye and Song Weiyang.

    These bean sprout-like notes are either on the line spectrum, or they are simply outside the five lines. How do they indicate a safe position?

    Qin Yanshu sees himNow that they had pictures to look at, they continued to explain quickly: “According to the spectrum of the first line of “Ode to Joy”, there are exactly eight boxes but ten safe positions. You see, as long as the grid with the symbol head appears, it is the answer. No.There is one person who steps on the line, and two people who step on the line.The corresponding beds are 1, 5, 9, 13, 14, 17, 18, 21, and 25. Xing Ye, take Ji Ning to the fifth box and occupy 17 and 18, and Song Weiyang goes to 25.

    At this time, the countdown of the broadcast was less than 20 seconds, and the children’s voices became more and more strangely excited: “18, 17, 16…”

    Time was running out and there was no room for any delay or hesitation. Xing Ye pulled Ji Ning to leave the eighth box.

    Ji Ning broke out in sweat, her face turned red from suppressing it, and she held onto the bedrail to stop Xing Ye’s steps: “Wait! Why did you say there are only nine positions? What should you do? The eighth talisman is completely outside the line score!”

    Qin Yanshu still looked calm and looked at the aisle outside the box: “If it’s not in the box, then it’s outside the box. There is a wall-mounted seat between every two boxes. The one outside the eighth box is the last safe place. If there are people elsewhere, I will go there.”

    The children’s voice broadcast has counted down to single digits: “9…”

    How could Ji Ning not see he? He wasn’t sure either!But time is running out, and she can’t dwell on it for too long.

    “Nothing can happen to you!” She gave Qin Yanshu a deep look, let go of her hand and left with Xing Ye and Song Weiyang.

    Soon, Xing Ye drove away an NPC in the fifth carriage and protected Ji Ning from occupying the upper bunk on No. 18.

    Ji Ning leaned out and watched Qin Yanshu walking down the aisle, checking the status of each box.

    Countdown: “5, 4…”

    Time is running out.Perhaps because the safe seats in the first few compartments were already occupied, and if he tried to grab them again if he didn’t have enough time, he might not be able to grab them, Qin Yanshu quickly turned back, opened the wall-mounted seats outside the eighth compartment and sat down.

    The child’s voice giggled: “3, 2, 1!”

    Ji Ning was so nervous that she stopped breathing and stared at Qin Yanshu intently.

    He looked at her with deep and gentle eyes, and the layer of ice seemed to have melted and flowed into warm and soft water.

    There were sizzling electric voltage sounds and howls all around. However, the howls suddenly stopped not long after. These people must have died under the terrifying high-voltage current.

    After confirming that Qin Yanshu was still fine, her eyes were open, her face had not changed, and her skin was not bruised or blackened, Ji Ning held her chest and gasped for air like a person who woke up after drowning.

    Webcast barrage:

    “This dungeon is so difficult, it makes me nervous.”

    “Fortunately, Miss Qin knows better.”

    “This countdown is so weird, and the people who made it are urgent and panicked.”

    “Two players overheard Ji Ningtuan’s reasoning, otherwise they would die.”

    “This copy is so exciting!”

    “It’s not over yet. I wonder what the third passenger elimination plan is?”
