Although Lin You thinks she can't personally understand SCP-096's obsession with paper bags, it's not a bad thing - she won't be afraid of accidentally hurting her own people when she summons it out in the future.
She wondered, since 096 has such a hobby, will she help to pay attention to any paper bags with unique styles in the future
When she raised her head again, Lin You realized that there was an extra exclamation mark on the light screen indicating new news.
In the friend list, Jian Mingjia's name is lit up, indicating that he has been in the game for an hour and a half.
Didn't this guy say he's going to sleep until noon today? Lin You skipped the status above and raised her hand to accept Li Jing's friend invitation.
On the other side of the light screen, Li Jing, who was waiting anxiously, saw the notification that popped up suddenly, and screamed subconsciously when she got excited. As soon as the voice came out, she immediately covered her mouth and looked left and right, thankfully this was the main interface where she was the only one present.
She suppressed her emotions, and carefully sent another voice request.
—passed.
"Sister You," Li Jing looked back and forth, quickly finding the topic, "Have you seen the new announcement?"
Lin You: "..."
She really didn't look at it.
All my heart is on studying the cards I got. After all, two SR cards and one SSR card are a great harvest.
"Announcement?" she asked. "What announcement?"
"system maintenance."
Li Jing said.
"It means that the copy was stopped an hour ago, and then the maintenance will start after the players in the game finish the copy... The estimated time is 6 o'clock in the evening."
"What can be maintained at this time."
Li Jing: "It should be... the difficulty adjustment mentioned earlier?"
"It's really resolute enough," Lin You shrugged, "Let's test the front foot and change the back foot directly."
"Maybe I've figured out how to do it long ago, let us verify it in the end?" Li Jing asked, "Sister Yu, what are you going to do now?"
she
Lin You looked at the sky.
"I can't get on the line anyway, I'll go to sleep for a while." Kisaragi station's overall process is not long, but the pace is too fast, and now I feel a little tired after relaxing, "—by the way, I have something else to do."
Li Jing: "...?"
"You said that you found the left leg by chance, and that it was more than a coincidence. Didn't you have time to finish?"
"Oh," she said, Li Jing also remembered that there was such a thing, and responded repeatedly, "Because Xu Yan found it, I can't tell if it's a coincidence or something."
Lin Youxin wondered why it was him again.
"Did he do anything before or after?"
"No, it doesn't seem to be anything special..."
Li Jing was a little uncertain.
"I just said a few words to Brother Wang." She said, "But at that time, I was dealing with Mr. Hachichi. I hid a little far away and didn't hear clearly—what's the matter?"
"It's okay, I'll just ask."
No matter how strange it was, Lin You didn't plan to investigate further. The dungeon is over, and it doesn't make much sense to hold on to a guy who doesn't even know his name, as long as you have a mind.
"Get off, bye."
Li Jing said goodbye to her in a hurry, and Lin You left another message to Jian Mingjia, and she was really offline.
It was meal time, and after lunch with her family, she helped put the used dishes into the dishwasher, and just mentioned by the way, saying that she would go to sleep for a while and leave her alone at night.
"Look at you sleeping well." Mother Lin nagged habitually, "It's alright, alright, let's go."
Lin You yawned to catch up on her afternoon nap. The room was dark after the curtains were drawn, and someone else would inevitably think of Kisaragi Station, which was full of dangers, but she didn't have such worries at all—not to mention that ghosts caused her psychological shadow, she left trauma to others.
She fell into a deep sleep this time, until the familiar ringing of the bell woke her up. Lin You touched the phone by the pillow, and connected the call before opening her eyes.
"Hey, who is it?"
"Me." The person on the phone seemed to think that her question was a bit inconceivable, "Didn't you tell me to call you when I can get online again? Could it be that you have slept till now?"
… yes.
She seems to have left a message asking Jian Mingjia to call her when the time comes.
Lin You shivered, Li Yu sat up straight, and looked at his watch again.
— 17:32.
"Five thirty?" She wondered, "Isn't it six o'clock?"
"The maintenance is over in advance."
Jian Mingjia said: "The announcements have been sent out, someone transferred to the forum, you can take a look."
Just as the computer was not turned off, Lin You simply opened the webpage.
"By the way," she asked while clicking in, "I still want to say, didn't you say last night that you won't play this morning?"
"Work and rest, work and rest, I woke up early in the morning and realized that I don't have to go to work, and I couldn't sleep so I just played games. It's okay, I got an 'A' in the B-grade book, but compared with you, it's just mediocre."
As soon as you enter, there is a bold version update announcement.
It means that in view of the official internal evaluation and the results of this player testing activity, certain adjustments have been made to the game balance.
A-level players plus ordinary players selected by lottery, a total of 150 people, were divided into 15 dungeons.
Among them, a total of seventeen people survived to the end, and five copies were cleared to varying degrees. Except for some dungeons that have been slightly upgraded and upgraded to S-level dungeons, the difficulty of A-level dungeons is generally lowered by a small amount, and it will be open to players from now on.
And all players who participated in this test event will receive a reward package at 9:00 tomorrow morning, but depending on the evaluation level, the richness of the gift package is of course different.
On the forum, voices of envy can be heard all the time—even if you get a consolation prize at the beginning of the game.
"Tell me," Jian Mingjia asked, "Are you S or A?"
Lin You: "S."
"I also packed a station to go," she added.
Jian Mingjia: "..."
Wait, forget about the S rating, what the hell is the packing station?
"I have a hunch that if I continue to ask, my game will be broken," she said after a few seconds of silence, "so I won't ask—when are you going?"
"You go, I'll come right away."
After hanging up the phone, Lin You scrolled down two more pages. Now the most explosive topic in the forum is naturally the A-level dungeon.
It's just that the most active group of participants before the event may have suffered too much, and they didn't show up again at this moment. There was also someone who claimed to be one of the seventeen people who opened a post to talk about his customs clearance experience, and he went up hundreds of floors in just two or three minutes.
Although she is very curious about other dungeons, let's come back and look again.
Thinking about it, Lin You forked out the webpage. She wants to try the current difficulty quickly, and it's not easy to let people wait for her for too long.
After she put on the game helmet and returned to the blue space, she received Jian Mingjia's team invitation almost immediately.
Geng Qinghe was already in the team, and even if Lin You came in, it was full, and immediately entered the queue for the cooperative mode.
[The match is successful.]
[You are about to enter the A-level dungeon "None Survived".]
Lin You: "..."
The name FLAG of this dungeon is too much, right? !
[Countdown, ten, nine, eight, seven...]
When Inorganic's female voice counted to "one", her eyes suddenly fell into darkness. This time it wasn't a deep sleep or something, no matter how Lin You blinked, it was pitch black.
"My God," Geng Qinghe's voice trembled, "Why is it so dark?!"
"Are you all there?"
Jian Mingjia didn't sound very calm, "I just wanted to say, how come it's an A-level dungeon—"
The official announcement and her own experience are two different things. Even if there is a guy in the team who cleared the A-level dungeon with an S rating, she never expected that everything would come so unexpectedly.
"I have a lighter!"
Suddenly a strange voice interjected, "Do you have anything to order?"
A cluster of flames glowed in the darkness.
This little bit of light vaguely reflected the people gathered together, and after the eyes adjusted to the darkness, they could vaguely distinguish who was who by the light of the fire.
In the next second, there was a loud bang, and something was knocked over and fell to the ground.
Geng Qinghe: "Fuck?!"
"Sorry, sorry," the person who dropped the thing apologized repeatedly, "I accidentally bumped my elbow—huh?"
He bent down and picked up the candlestick on the ground. Although there were only a few candle stubs left on it, it looked like it could still be lit to illuminate it.
"This should work."
"Hey, that's just right." The teammate with the lighter also came up and ignited the cotton thread with a flame. With the lighting of the candle, he could see the whole room clearly, "This is... where?"
At least one thing is certain.
This is definitely not any normal family.
The location they were in should be a dining room, but the tables, chairs and dishes on the cabinets were covered with thick dust, and it was obvious that no one had used them for a long time.
What's more, several dishes had already been broken on the wooden floor, and even the fragments fell into spider webs.
Geng Qinghe: "Don't tell me this is a haunted house..."
Jian Mingjia: "..."
Shut up! !
"It looks like there are only five of us?" The teammate who lit the candlestick with a lighter looked around and said, "Lu Zhenjie, please give me your advice."
"Ah, good good."
Jian Mingjia quickly introduced herself, and said, "This means that everyone should cooperate more."
After all, when you hear the title "There Were None"...
"Of course."
The teammate who found the candlestick on the wooden stand to illuminate them by accident said with a smile: "My name is Gu Heng."
Everyone simply mentioned their names, and Lin You also mentioned it. Everyone agrees that this place is not suitable for staying for a long time-this eerie and uninhabited environment is simply a template for a haunted house.
The restaurant where they were located was on the second floor. Walking down the stairs, the wooden boards that had been in disrepair and decayed for a long time made creepy noises.
Fortunately, nothing happened along the way. When the door was opened to welcome the sunshine outside, Geng Qinghe felt that he had come alive.
— until he saw the door plate hanging on the wall.
The blood in his whole body plummeted to freezing point, he stammered and poked Lin You: "You, sister You..."
On the contrary, Lin You was a little disappointed because nothing happened: "Huh?"
She turned her head and looked in the direction Geng Qinghe pointed.
There are two words engraved on the door plate.
— Saeki.
