Chapter 410: Is the Cave Fair?Faced with the visit of a stranger, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then started applauding for no apparent reason.
This behavior made the little boy standing outside the door even more at a loss, so Sun Haian stood up and led the boy into the room.
"This is Zhong Ning. You can call him Aning or Xiaoning."
Gao Yingcai looked at the vaguely familiar face of the little boy and couldn't help but frowned, "What's the relationship between this kid and Brother Zhong?"
"Aning is Mr. Zhong's nephew."
Zhong Ning blushed, lowered his head and said helplessly: "Yes... I am your uncle's nephew..."
Gao Yingcai was greatly shocked, "This kind of personality... is he Brother Zhong's nephew?!"
Sun Haian shook his head and signaled Gao Yingcai to stop talking, "Aning takes after his father."
Gao Yingcai immediately became very secretive about Zhong Ge’s younger brother, the one who died young…
In order to adjust the atmosphere, Minister Gao immediately changed the subject, "Just now the director said that you can enhance the abilities of others. How do you enhance them?"
"I can..." Zhong Ning hesitated, "Open up a field... People in this field will be affected by my ability."
Everyone was a little surprised, but Shen Dinghai did not hide his nature of complaining, "Mage assistant, a real mage assistant!"
“Can you produce output yourself?”
Zhong Ning looked up blankly, "Huh?"
Shen Dinghai: "Do you have the means to attack others?"
Zhong Ning blushed and shook his head.
Shen Dinghai's interest instantly waned. "You're just a pure support. You have to output damage all the time, and you need a tank to protect you two."
Minister Gao showed no mercy and punched Shen Dinghai on the head, "Do you really think you are playing a game?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Sun Haian and said, "Director, can I let Xiao Ning try it with me? We need to get used to each other before entering the horror cave."
Sun Haian: "Of course." She gave Zhong Ning a reassuring look. Zhong Ning nodded, and the panicked and helpless expression on his face disappeared.
Determination appeared in the little boy's eyes, and at the same time, a circle of blue light expanded outward from his body.
The range was so large that it actually surrounded the entire safe house.
Ranran couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as she watched. When Zhong Ning displayed his ability, a blue light similar to the aperture lit up in his eyes, making his eyes as clear as a tranquil blue ocean.
Zhong Ning looked at Gao Yingcai, and Gao Yingcai immediately understood.
His eyes dimmed slightly, and several ice spikes suddenly appeared around his body. The temperature dropped suddenly, and frost quickly spread outward from his body, covering the entire safe house in an instant.
Ran Ran couldn't help but open her eyes wide. This was the first time she saw Minister Gao use his abilities while he was awake, which was obviously different from when he was controlled by someone.
The air suddenly cooled down, so cold that it penetrated into people's lungs, like cold blades stirring the internal organs that were still emitting heat.
It was too cold.
She didn't even have the ability to face Minister Gao directly, she was just enduring the chill emanating from his ability... it was definitely a chill that no human could bear.
There were only two words left in Ranran's mind to describe it - natural disaster.
Shen Dinghai blurted out "Oh my God!" and he immediately leaned together with Ranran, wanting to huddle together for warmth, but the situation in front of them was not something that could be solved by huddle together for warmth.
Upon seeing this, Dr. Bai waved his hand and a barrier emitting a faint glow was erected in front of everyone, and the feeling of cold was immediately dispelled a lot.
Although it is still very cold, it is at least a temperature that the human body can tolerate.
Doctor Bai's face turned even paler. He coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Minister Gao, please consider whether I live or die."
"Be more restrained. My ability cannot resist your coldness."
Minister Gao turned around, as if a little aggrieved, and said, "I have restrained myself."
After saying this, he no longer hesitated, his eyes turned cold, and several icy spikes suddenly shot out and pierced directly into the wall of the safe house.
Shen Dinghai was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, "Before... before, I could only make a dent in it! Now it goes straight through! Oh my god!" He became a parrot who could only say "Oh my god".
Minister Gao's face was also filled with shock. He looked at Zhong Ning and said, "I know that I only exerted about 50% of my power. With your ability, I can actually achieve 80% of the effect!"
A big hand patted Zhong Ning on the shoulder, almost making him lose his balance.
Minister Gao laughed heartily, "Hahahahahaha Xiaoning you are really amazing!"
Shen Dinghai looked at Ran Ran in shock, "Is this only 50% effective?!"
Minister Gao showed a smug smile to Sun Haian, and then looked at Shen Dinghai, "It's 50%, I'm not the kind of person who brags!"
Doctor Bai said nothing, but smiled and retracted the halo barrier.
Shen Dinghai took advantage of the victory and continued, "Then Minister Gao, do you have the courage to face the butcher now?"
Minister Gao choked, "Courage! When have I ever been a coward? Of course I have courage! As for facing the butcher..."
He gritted his teeth and said, "I can try!"
Shen Dinghai suppressed his laughter and whispered to Ran Ran, "Being beaten once really left a psychological trauma."
Ranran's mind was not on this little episode. Before entering the horror cave again, she had a question that she had to figure out.
You can ask Director Sun Haian or Minister Gao about this question.
Now that these two people are present, it is also a good time to ask, so Ranran spoke directly.
"Is the team still five people this time? Or will it be a team of ten like the last time we went to the Flower Eaters on a large scale?"
It was originally a very simple question. In Ranran's opinion, it was even a question that should have been decided long ago. However, Sun Haian hesitated.
“That’s not certain yet.”
Shen Dinghai couldn't believe it. "The candidates who will enter the cave have been determined, but the specific number of people has not been determined?"
Sun Haian looked at everyone and said, "After the Horror Cave game was launched, the matter of entering the Horror Cave to explore has also changed."
"The number of people exploring is no longer in our control."
Sun Haian said slowly: "The decision lies with the Horror Cave."
"During this period, you have been busy with the Non-Investigation Bureau and have not participated in the new mission, so you are not aware of this change."
Shen Dinghai was bewildered. "Director, are you speaking Chinese? I don't understand. What do you mean by 'the decision-making power' is in the cave?"
Sun Haian: "Only the fear cave can determine the number of participants, and this number changes randomly. Sometimes it can accommodate ten people, and sometimes it can only accommodate five people."
"Only when we actually enter the Terror Cave can the number of participants be determined."
Shen Dinghai said uncertainly: "Just like the dungeons in many online games? It's just that the number of people it can accommodate is uncertain, and after the upper limit is reached, the dungeon will be closed and no longer open to the public?"
Sun Haian nodded, "That's right, Shanhai, do you have any research on horror caves?"
Shen Dinghai said with a bitter face, "I don't know much about the Horror Cave, I only know about the game."
He looked at Ran Ran with drooping eyebrows, "Cousin, what is the purpose of Kong Dong doing this?"
Ran Ran shrugged, "I can't be sure. We have only explored one Terror Cave so far, but based on our experience in the [Moth Road]..."
"The Horror Cave game is designed this way, perhaps to ensure that every explorer's experience is as complete as possible?"
Ran Ran said slowly: "[The Road to the Silkworm] is a story world created around Mako."
"You can imagine that if the exploration of the Horror Cave remains the same as before, with no restrictions and anyone can enter at any time, then the explorers who enter first will definitely receive more information than the explorers who come in later."
"And the plot progress in the horror cave will definitely follow the people who came in first. This is very unfair to those who came in later. They may even die without knowing anything."
After Ranran finished speaking, there was a silence in the room, and finally Shen Dinghai spoke to break the deadlock.
"The Horror Cave is about fairness... It sounds so magical..."
