Five people were sitting in a private room. In addition to a drink in front of each person, there were also several platters of sweets and snacks placed in the middle of the table.
Zhou Guang was somewhat emotional: "When I first entered this game, I knew nothing and had no status. I couldn't even afford a cup of coffee. I never thought that now I can have whatever I want and even have a snack."
Liang Xi: "It seems that you won't get old here. When I was going through the levels this time, I met a player who had lived in the game hall for more than ten years, and he was still in the same state as when he first entered."
Li Cancan: "Eternal life, housing freedom, food freedom. If there were no thrilling dungeons, this place would even become a paradise for many people. The longer you stay here, the easier it is to lose your fighting spirit. In the last dungeon I met an old player who has been in this game for more than 20 years. He usually hides in the lobby. As long as he has 50 mall points to maintain his daily consumption, he will not participate in the game."
"Because he has been here for so long, he even forgot why he came here."
"It's actually quite scary to think about it. Isn't it like boiling a frog in warm water?"
"The moment I saw him, I suddenly thought of myself."
"I was thinking, if I continue to be so slow in my efforts to pass the levels, will I forget my original intention and my grandmother one day?"
Xia Chi: "You won't, Sister Cancan. You will definitely be able to leave this game world soon, and there are others besides you."
"It looks like you've been clearing the game these days," Baili Xin asked as he stirred his coffee. "How was the process? What level are you at?"
People seemed a little embarrassed when they heard Baili Xin's questions, but they still answered them one by one.
The one who spoke first was Zhou Guang.
"Let me tell you, since we last met and separated, I have entered two dungeons in total."
"Who made me fall behind so much? I was afraid of it at the beginning. I took every step very carefully, for fear that there would be problems at the end of the game."
"Every failure is a learning experience. All the food and drinks I ate and drank in the dungeon were the food I brought with me."
"It wasn't until I succeeded in the first dungeon challenge that I felt a little relieved. I have now reached the 33rd floor, and I am very satisfied with this result. Of course, it is definitely far behind you."
Li Cancan: "You are amazing. You climbed from the 10th floor to the 33rd floor in just two dungeons. I just went to one dungeon and now I am on the 45th floor."
Liang Xi: "I have only entered one instance, and now I am on the same floor as Li Cancan, also on the 45th floor. Xia Chi is incredible, he has already reached the 80th floor."
"Well, I'm just lucky," Xia Chi smiled shyly, "It's not worth mentioning at all."
"But speaking of good luck," Xia Chi chuckled, took out an envelope from his backpack, and secretly slapped it on the table, "Do you know what this is?"
Zhou Guang: "From the shape, it looks like a card? Is it a prop?"
Xia Chi nodded vigorously: "Yes, guess what card this is."
Li Cancan: "You mentioned that you took it out because you were 'lucky'. Is it a card that increases your luck?"
"Wow," Xia Chi looked at Li Cancan in surprise, "Sister Cancan, you are so great. You guessed it right away."
Li Cancan's cheeks blushed shyly: "I just guessed it casually. I listened to the big reasoning so many times that I also learned a lot from it."
Xia Chi pushed the envelope in front of Baili Xin, "Brother, this is the card I drew in the game hall on the 50th floor. I'm giving it to you. It will definitely be of great use to you. I helped you a lot in the dungeon before, so this is what I call an apology."
Baili Xin opened the envelope and pulled out a card.
It is a bonus card that increases luck values. It is grade A and is extremely useful for players at level 50 or so.
But, Baili Xin is an outlier.
The first five S-level cards thrown into his stomach didn't have any effect, so it was a waste for him to use this one.
Baili Xin took the card and just looked at the number on it with mixed feelings. Then, under everyone's envious gazes, he returned the card to Xia Chi: "You keep it. I have no use for it. I have already used five S-level luck value enhancement cards before, and none of them worked."
Everyone: “…”
Those who hear it cry, and those who listen to it are sad.
Xia Chi was a little embarrassed: "It's no use for me. My luck value has reached its limit."
Everyone: “…”
Baili Xin: "..."
Xia Chi: "Otherwise, give it to Brother Zhou Guang. I remember your luck value is the lowest, so you used something that helped you pass the level."
"I found that the copy you choose is closely related to your luck. People with good luck tend to choose good copies. The last time you entered an unlucky undead copy, it was probably because your luck was too low."
Zhou Guang: "Let's play rock-paper-scissors. There's no reason why all the resources should be given to me."
Xia Chi thought for a moment and said, "Just play rock-paper-scissors. The three of you play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses gets the card."
A minute later, Zhou Guang was defeated completely.
It's his bad luck.
After happily solving the lucky card distribution problem, the system prompt sounded above everyone's head without warning.
Ding! Dear players, we apologize for disturbing your gaming experience. The game system will undergo a major update in ten seconds.
The contents of this update package are as follows:
1. Modify some NPC dialogue inharmonious issues.
2Fixed the problem of frequent occurrence of bugs in some copies.
3 Added 3 new copies, including a 100-person copy, a 50-person medium copy, and a 10-person small copy.
The update time is 3 minutes. During the update process, the game lobby will be temporarily disconnected to ensure the stability of the system and prevent malicious attacks by virus programs.
Within 3 minutes of the update, all players in the game lobby will fall into a dark space for 3 minutes. Your vision will be completely dark, and the system will cut off the player's connection. However, the time will only last for 3 minutes, and everything will return to normal after 3 minutes, so please rest assured.
Players in the instance will not be affected in any way, please rest assured.
The three pieces of information for the newly added copy are as follows:
100-person copy: [School Ghost Story] copy; 50-person copy: [Death Cruise] copy; 10-person copy: [Fairy Tale Kingdom] copy.
Since this update will affect the players' gaming experience, after the update, all players will receive compensation prop cards randomly distributed by the system. Thank you for your support.
The game update starts after a 10 second countdown.
The countdown begins below.
10, 9, 8…
Several people looked at each other. Through the door curtain of the private room, Baili Xin heard the noise of some commotion outside.
"Fuck, another update? Wasn't there an update more than a month ago? They only released one instance at that time, but this time they released three? Is the system crazy?"
"That's right. There are already so many copies, and it still has new ones. How much does this game like to update?"
"They're still fixing bugs. The more they fix, the more bugs there are. What a rubbish game."
The countdown numbers above his head became smaller and smaller, and Baili Xin's eyes fell on the coffee on the table in front of him.
The update package was released more than a month ago. Counting the days, it should be when he just entered the dungeon.
The system announcement just now said that cutting off the signal in the game lobby is to prevent external virus attacks. This sentence is thought-provoking.
3, 2, 1! System update begins.
When the system said "update", some sounds and lights disappeared instantly.
In front of Baili Xin, darkness suddenly appeared.
He tried to reach out and touch himself, but there was no feeling as it should have been.
This is not simply a darkness of vision, but a state where consciousness is pulled away into a dark area.
Baili Xin shouted in his mind: s419m, can you hear me
The wait seems particularly long in the darkness without any reference.
I don't know how long it had passed. Just when Baili Xin thought that s419m had also fallen into darkness, two intermittent crackling sounds of electricity were heard, and the faint sound of s419m appeared in Baili Xin's mind: My dear host, I'm here.
My head is so dizzy. Just a moment ago, I was hit by a huge electric pulse shock wave. The escape system had already fallen asleep. I opened the shielding system before I fainted and was able to resist this wave of electric pulse shock wave.
But the electric pulse wave has not ended yet. S419m's words made Baili Xin alert. This electric pulse wave was scanning the brain of the player.
Baili Xin: What exactly are you scanning? Memories or something else
s419m: It's not the memory, but the activity value of the cerebral cortex. My dear host, the electric pulse shock wave comes again, I will block it temporarily.
Berry Sin: Okay.
s419m: Ding! Now start the defensive stand-in mode. Ding! The defensive stand-in mode is activated.
Okay, I simulated and created a standard fake brain to replace yours, so that the system would not notice that someone was missing.
Yes, host, please be careful.
Before s419m's voice faded away, there was a dull loud "boom" and a powerful impact force suddenly rushed towards him.
Nothing could be seen in the darkness, but Baili Xin could feel that the darkness was broken into ripples.
The force was so overwhelming that it made Baili Xin's head buzz.
After the second wave of shock waves faded away, s419m continued: I just checked and found that the shock waves have been changing in frequency.
Baili Xin's head was still buzzing. It was probably trying to find an identical brain wave through resonance, or it was eliminating something.
s419m: What to exclude
Baili Xin: Maybe it is the [virus] mentioned in the system announcement. I can regard this process as an antivirus scan.
s419m: What is the virus system? Sorry, host, I haven't detected it yet.
It doesn’t matter, Baili Xin said calmly, if the system is updated like this every time, I will always be able to find something, there is no rush.
Baili Xin looked forward, and in a trance, a very faint light seemed to appear in front of him, which should have been pitch black.
The light was so tiny that it was not even as bright as the dust in the air. It flickered gently and landed slowly in front of Baili Xin.
The darkness was so thick that it occupied the entire world.
It was so small and so weak, but it stopped steadily in front of Baili Xin, grabbing all of Baili Xin's attention and sight.
The flickering light seemed to be greeting him.
Familiar and warm.
Baili Xin was a little surprised, and then he saw the light move again, gently falling on his lips, then flying over his cheeks and eyebrows, and finally falling on his ear.
—“It’s me. This is a bunch of memories I left in the cracks of darkness.”
The man's familiar and lingering low voice sounded in Baili Xin's ears.
- "Don't talk, listen to me, time is running out, I need to tell you something before the next shock wave."
— “This game hall is a collection of dark power, born in the abyss of the universe.”
—“When it was born, it was as ignorant and confused as a newborn, and it also had a strong thirst for knowledge, curiosity, and plundering desire.”
—“In order to learn, it spontaneously formed this game hall. And began to attract souls of a certain frequency wavelength to enter. By studying these souls, it quickly learned and grew.”
— "I was also drawn into the world it created. If I want to leave this world, I can only follow its logical rules. If I try to break through by force, the impact energy caused by the forces on both sides will destroy the entire universe."
— "As it grew, the game hall quickly upgraded. In order to obtain more energy, it intervened, communicating through logical rules and obsessions with strong dark power, constantly creating new copies of obsessions, and constantly attracting more souls into this game world."
—"These obsessions twisted into new dimensions one after another."
—“In a sense, although it is very young, it is very powerful and is like a creator.”
— "But they are not real planes. The appearance of cosmic planes must follow certain rules. The appearance of these dark planes without any reason has caused unrest and threats to the stable universe."
—"You should have been through several copies, right? You must have discovered that there is a person who controls each copy."
—"It's obsession. Ugly, evil, lustful, all kinds of things, they are the source of the existence of copies. So when you kill these beings, these copies have to be shut down."
—"Once the obsession disappears, the line connecting the copy and it will be cut off, and the poor soul controlled by the obsession will be freed."
—"I suppressed its growing desire, waiting to finish the task under the rules before cleaning it up and looking back at the universe it had messed up."
—“It likes darkness, negative energy, and it also likes to upgrade. In order to complete the upgrade, it begins to merge with the souls it recognizes.”
— “900 floors, that’s the condition it recognizes.”
—"No matter how far you go on the 900th floor, it will greedily absorb everything."
— "I was already on the 999th floor, and by the time I realized what it had done, it was too late."
—"I can use all my strength to destroy it, but as I said before, energy will destroy everything in the universe. Including billions of dimensional universes..."
— "And you."
— "On the 999th floor, I have deduced countless times, and there is only one way to completely stop it."
— "Honey, I need you."
—"I know this is dangerous, but only in this way can you survive and the universe return to stability and peace."
—"If you calculate it, at this time I should have been in a dark sleep for a year because of the punishment."
—"After losing my memory, I must have done a lot of stupid things. Please forgive me, a good old man who hasn't seen my wife for many, many years and misses her so much. I just want to protect you and kiss and hug you. What bad intentions do I have?"
— "You will forgive me, won't you?"
—"After my main body fell into a deep sleep, I can no longer help you in secret. The rest of the journey will be more difficult for you, but don't worry, my soul fragments are always waiting for you to appear, and you will never be alone."
— "If I counted correctly, there will be three copies in this update."
—"You need to enter a campus copy of 100 people. There is a hidden S-level item card inside. Get it."
—"We have only settled here for tens of thousands of years. If possible, I really want to be with you every day."
The man's voice fell into Baili Xin's ears one by one. At the end, the man's voice turned into a low sigh, "Finally, I will always love you, baby."
The light touched Baili Xin's earlobe, as if it was gently kissing the other's earlobe.
Baili Xin wanted to say something, he opened his mouth hard, but nothing came out.
"I know what you want to say," the man's voice was already very weak, "It's he, I won't lie to you again."
…
Ding! The game has been updated successfully and the link has been re-established. The compensation has been sent to your mailbox and is valid for 30 days. Please check it in time.
Finally, I wish you all happy gaming.
The system's voice took away the darkness, and the scene in front of my eyes, which was pitch black just now, was now filled with light again.
Baili Xin felt that the scene in front of him was a little blurry. Through the blurry vision, he saw the surprised and dazed eyes of Xia Chi and others.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" He put his hands on his eyes, trying to rub away the blurriness in them. When his fingertips became wet and stained, Baili Xin was suddenly stunned.
"That's weird," he chuckled, "What is this?"
Xia Chi and the others hesitated, looking at each other with worried expressions, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Baili Xin slowly exhaled a breath of foul air and stood up from the chair: "I'm glad to talk to you so much today. I'm going back now. I'll contact you by private message when I have time. Bye."
Even though he was eager to go home, he still said goodbye to a few people seriously before walking towards the elevator.
A few people seemed to be frightened by Baili Xin and watched him leave in a daze.
It was not until Baili Xin walked into the elevator that Li Cancan hesitated and asked, "Xin, was she crying just now?"
Xia Chi: "I didn't shed tears, but my eyes were wet. It seems like my brother is worried about something."
Liang Xi twirled the corner of his clothes: "Has Xin encountered any problems? He always helped me in the past, and I want to help him too."
"He is so strong that I overlooked his age and inner heart," Zhou Guang sighed, "but looking at his appearance, he is just a big boy who is just 20 years old. He can be sad and cry, and he has his own worries. I can't always ask Xin to help me while I ignore him when he needs help. But for things like this, it would not be good if I asked too abruptly. Xia Chi, you are more familiar with Xin, go and ask him what's wrong."
Xia Chi: "Okay."
_____________________
s419m: That’s what Xia Chi said.
Baili Xin rubbed his face, then threw himself hard on the bed, burying his entire face in the pillow.
I never expected that Zhou Guang, a legal man, could be so corny when he gets sentimental.
A twenty-year-old boy
I'm so sorry, he's already 30,000 years old and your dream has been shattered.
Will he cry too
Of course I cried, I cried a lot, believe it or not? !
I shed so many happy tears, but you couldn't see them!
What a social death.
hateful.
s419m: Master Host, why were you crying just now? Did you burst into tears when you suddenly heard the Master calling you
You just burst into tears, Baili Xin turned over, lying on the bed with his body spread out, staring at the ceiling above his head. I just suddenly had a bad premonition at that time, and I couldn't hold it back for a moment.
s419m: What bad feeling
Baili Xin: In his description of Wei, Dijia talked about my survival and the recovery of the universe, but never mentioned himself.
s419m: Oh, this. My Lord cares about you and the universe, so he keeps a low profile. And didn't he promise you? The ending is a happy one, he won't lie to you.
Oh, Baili Xin's eyebrows are sharpened into blades, you won't lie to me? Are you a noble person who forgets things easily? Let me help you recall.
Before I became an adult, during my battle with the fake, he also said that he would not lie.
As a result, he sent me back to my world, and he wanted to die together with the fake one.
s419m immediately backed off. It was not at that time that the master wanted to protect you. The final ending was quite satisfactory.
Baili Xin's anger subsided. You are right. The ending is quite satisfactory. This time is the same. From the beginning, I am the miracle of Dijia. If there is a miracle once, there can be a second one.
If he dares to lie to me, I will divorce him, divorce him!
s419m quickly flattered him: That's right, I'm so lucky to marry you. You are such a punk, it's really unfair for you to marry a man like me who splits easily.
Besides being so handsome, gentle, loving, versatile, of many kinds and shapes, lasting long, and strong, what other advantages does he have
Divorce, must divorce! You are already a widower and you still don't want to divorce. Are you asking my host to remain a widow
Baili Xin: ...Well, I didn’t say he was bad.
To sum it up, there are quite a lot of advantages.
Let's put divorce aside.
Sitting up suddenly from the bed, Baili Xin took out the crystal ball from his backpack.
After copying a designated task prop card from it, Baili Xin asked the escape system: Escape system, the new campus book for a hundred people that has just been updated, is it called [Campus Ghost Stories]
Sizzle, sizzle.
Sizzle, sizzle.
The electronic sound beeped two or three times before the escape system replied: Yes, play, the name of the new book is [Campus Ghost Stories].
Baili Xin: Can I use the designated copy item card to enter this copy
Escape System: No, because this is a new copy, the designated game prop card cannot be directly locked and connected to this copy. However, if you really want to enter this copy, there is a way.
Baili Xin: What method
Escape System: Although you cannot directly lock this instance with an item card, you can lock it to the Campus 100-player instance. There are 132 Campus 100-player instances in total, and the probability of you randomly selecting the new instance [Campus Ghost Story] is 1 in 132.
The voice of the escape system is very gentle: The probability is still very high, why don’t you give it a try
s419m couldn't help but interrupt: Escape system, why are you acting weird today
The voice of the escape system has become gentler: Isn’t it gentle and cute
s419m: Uh, yes... there is one.
Escape System: Sir M, do you like me being so gentle
s419m:…
Blissin: …
This little sister, I hope she is not infected with the virus
Escape System: Although I was unconscious at the time, I knew that during my unconsciousness, Master M had been holding up the energy wall to protect me.
You are so gentle and great, Lord M.
s419m: Ah, this, hey, is it? I didn’t do anything.
The escape system said seriously: Really! You are really great, completely different from other slutty bitches.
s419m: Oh, I feel so embarrassed for praising you. You are so cute too~
Blissin: …
Why did he smell a sour, rotten smell
It's fine that you two are fighting in my mind, but are you planning to kiss each other in my mind next
Tong and Tong shouldn’t be able to give birth to a little Tong, right
I don’t mean to disturb you. Baili Xin coughed lightly and shook off the goose bumps on his body. Can you serve me
The escape system snorted impatiently: Of course.
Baili Xin:
No, where is your gentleness just now? Where is your cuteness just now
Escape system: 1 in 132. Of course, this is for ordinary players, but it will be different for you. The luck value is there, so don't expect anything from yourself. My suggestion to you is to find a player with a higher luck value to form a team and take you to this dungeon. This is the only possible reason to enter this dungeon.
Blissin: …
You can just name it "Xia Chi".
As if in response to Baili Xin, Xia Chi's chat window suddenly jumped.
Prisin opened.
Xia Chi: Brother! Are you okay
Baili Xin: At the moment, it seems that you are the one in trouble.
Xia Chi: Ah? What
Baili Xin: I need a player with a slightly higher luck value to help me draw a copy.
Xia Chi: Hehe, just call me by my name.
Baili Xin paused for two seconds: It could be dangerous.
Xia Chi: Are you kidding? Danger is nothing compared to my luck.
Blissin: …
What's going on? I envy his confidence.
He did not stop and quickly told Xia Chi about his idea of going to the new copy. As for the reason, Baili Xin did not mention a word and Xia Chi did not ask.
Xia Chi: Brother, Sister Cancan also wants to go in and help.
Xia Chi: Let's take him along, okay? This is a big book on campus. What's the most common thing on campus? Exams. Maybe there will be some knowledge contests, right? I, Brother Zhou Guang, Sister Cancan, and Brother Liang Xi all have good knowledge and will definitely be able to help you.
Berry Sin: Okay.
Xia Chi: That’s great, brother! I’ll tell him the good news right away!
After finishing the conversation with Xia Chi, Baili Xin heard the conversation between the two Tongs in his mind.
Escape System: Wow, it’s this energy wall. Brother M, you are so awesome. I don’t have it. Only the main brain system has it. The main brain system has many resources and skills, but it gives me nothing.
s419m: It's okay, I'm not greedy, good sister. When the host and the master overthrow the main brain system, I will ask him to let you be the main brain system. Okay
Escape System: Hehehe, hehe. Okay, when the time comes, I'll kill some capitalists and dig out their eyes!
s419m: Sister, you are so cute even when you scold people.
Blissin: …
Are you sure this is called "cute" and not "yandere"
After all, you are an adult commander who is 30,000 years old. Considering your age, this escape commander is just a piece of shit. Do you still have the nerve to call me sister
No, you two are hooking up now? Love is like a storm
Did I, Baili Xin, dig up someone's ancestral grave in my previous life? My ex is missing, and I still eat other people's dog food every day.
Xia Chi's message promptly alleviated Baili Xin's mental discomfort: Brother, I'm ready and can set off at any time.
Baili Xin: Okay, let’s go to Zhou Guang’s room and gather.
Xia Chi: Okay, I’ll notify him right away. See you later.
Three minutes later, the five people gathered in Zhou Guang's beehive.
Baili Xin handed the prop card to Xia Chi, and in order to ensure that everything was safe, the "captain" handed it back to Xia Chi.
A few seconds later, Baili Xin heard the sound of the escape system.
Ding! [Sweeping the streets with a hack] A new member has been added to the team, his name is Zhou Guang.
Ding! The [Opening the Cheat Street] team is using the [Specified Dungeon] prop card, using range: random 100-player campus dungeon (currently there are 132 100-player campus dungeons in the game).
Ding! [Sweeping the streets with a hack] The captain invites a member of the team to enter the dungeon. Do you agree
Ding! The team members have approved the request, and the random copy will begin.
Ding! The random copy is over. Congratulations to the team [Sweeping the Streets with Cheats] for randomly selecting the copy [Campus Ghost Stories].
What I mean is, no matter who you trust, you must believe in Xia Chi's luck.
This copy is a new unopened copy. You are really lucky. Friendly reminder: The copy will start in 3 seconds.
3, 2, 1! Transmission begins. Happy gaming!
As the system's voice fell, a deep black hole suddenly appeared under the feet of the five people.
The next second, the five unsuspecting people fell into the black hole at the same time.
Ding! Welcome to the dungeon [School Ghost Story]. The difficulty of this dungeon is level B, and the number of players is 100.
Let's start with the background of the game.
S City Song High School has always been committed to developing children's all-round qualities, and the school has been rated as an excellent national university for this.
In the school, the relationship between teachers and students is harmonious, and the teaching staff is said to be the best in the country.
All in all, this is a good high school.
It is the annual opening season again, and this time, another 100 freshmen have entered this excellent high school to receive education.
Now let’s start announcing the copy tasks.
Mission: Survive in school for 18 days.
Friendly reminder: Song High School has strict school rules and regulations. Please be sure to abide by them. Violators will be punished in the small dark room.
The punisher of the small black room punishment is the school NPC, not the system, and the punishment method is decided by the school NPC.
Ding! The replica is built, and now we can release it.
As the system's voice fell, Baili Xin's originally dark eyes gradually brightened.
A few hundred meters away, there stands an ancient school.
It is early morning now, and some players are standing behind a red line.
Baili Xin found that he was now in a frozen state, unable to move even his neck, and could only see through the corner of his eyes.
The metal gate was open, and at the school gate, two teachers stood on each side.
On the plaque above the gate, the words "Song High School" sparkled golden under the sunlight.
The two teachers were wearing sports jackets, holding a blue clip inside, and they looked tall and mighty.
At this moment, the two of them were counting the time with stopwatches, looking at the players with cold and serious eyes.
The system prompt sounded again.
Ding! Song High School is a school that strictly abides by the school spirit and discipline, and no details are overlooked, especially the concept of time.
A day's plan begins in the morning. The school bell is about to ring. Please enter the campus within the specified time, otherwise you will be locked out and unable to enter.
Friendly reminder: The consequences of not being able to enter will be very dire, so please cherish the opportunity to enter.
After 3 seconds of countdown, the game begins. Come on, life!
After the system voice finished speaking, a huge red timer immediately appeared in the sky above, which was clear just now.
00:45:00
Some of the players looked up at the counter above their heads at the same time, with struggle flashing deep in their eyes.
45 seconds, a distance of several hundred meters.
It takes an average person a little over one minute to run 100 meters. If the body is not strengthened or props are not used, it is impossible to reach the front in 45 seconds.
What's more, being at the front is only a necessary but not sufficient condition.
The open metal door can only accommodate five people at a time.
The mission is considered successfully completed only if you successfully enter the campus in the crowded environment.
"Fuck." A player wailed, "45 seconds? You're making such a fuss right off the bat!"
"Please, who has an acceleration prop card? I, I'm willing to exchange any props I have!" Another player screamed in horror. He couldn't move his body and could only plead bitterly.
The countdown hasn't even started yet, but tension and panic have already spread to all the players.
