Anyone who has watched horror movies knows that in order to be scary, the preliminaries are essential. What kind of dark atmosphere, strange sounds, and flashing shadows are enough to scare people into wars.
The atmosphere that the game finally created is good now, but it was completely ruined by a single sentence. Now players look at the tentacles that are fluttering everywhere, how they look like squid whiskers.
At this moment, the monster finally emerged from the ground, probably because there is no one else in the place where it grew up, so it looks whatever it wants, and it is ugly and unconventional and extraordinary.
On the spot, all players have undergone a Sanity check, but they are not afraid, but they are ugly.
The game also understands that this kind of damage is irreversible, and simply announces that it has entered the battle round. According to the settings, the battle process is turn-based.
[Establish the order of attacks, and decide the order according to the player's agility value]
[They are Monster, Zhou Wenyan, Shen Dongqing, Detective, Doctor]
[The monster chose to attack the doctor, its size is huge, but the speed is very fast, and the tentacles fell violently]
The doctor screamed, rolled around on the ground, rubbed his tentacles and barely escaped. She turned her head and saw that the tentacles smashed a deep hole on the ground, and the gravel splashed, which was full of lethality at a glance.
[Next is Zhou Wenyan, please decide your attack method]
Before Zhou Wenyan moved, Shen Dongqing rushed up first.
The detective was stunned: "It's not your turn yet!"
Shen Dongqing's words came from afar: "Is it really a turn-based game?"
The detective was startled, but also reacted.
This is not really a turn-based game on the computer, one by one gourd baby saves grandpa, here is where everyone can play together!
After he figured it out, he picked up the weapon that the aborigines had dropped on the ground and rushed up.
Even though the photographer was a girl, she went up and did her best.
It's a pity that these two people are not strong in combat. Before they could touch the monster, they were caught by a tentacle and thrown aside.
As for the doctor, she has long been hiding in a corner.
[You chose close combat]
[Perform Strength Check, Dexterity Check]
[Successful strength check, failed Dexterity check, the monster's tentacles wriggled, dodging the blow]
The game is in full swing there, and the game is still broadcast in real time, like a mosquito, buzzing and annoying.
Shen Dongqing said impatiently, "Shut up for me."
Game: [No]
The game is a little proud. It used to be so angry that it vomited blood. It was rare to be able to get angry with Shen Dongqing, making it feel a sense of accomplishment.
It's so easy to satisfy.
[Check failed]
[You didn't hit the monster]
[Check failed]
…
Under the constant broadcast of the game, the players present can know that this monster is rough and fleshy. Even if the check is successful, it will only deduct a little blood from the monster, and you can tell by its huge figure. It is estimated that the blood bar of this thing is two or three meters long.
Su Xiaoying stood by and said sarcastically: "Don't waste your efforts, this is an existence that cannot be eliminated."
It was the first time that Shen Dongqing had encountered such a villain who was neither human nor ghost. He looked at the monster with claws and claws, and muttered, "Sure enough, this stupid game is trolling us."
Zhou Wenyan also stepped aside.
The current situation is that the monsters can't help them, and they can't help the monsters.
The monster may have stayed in the cave all year round as a fat house. After exercising for a while, he was tired, and stopped to stare at the players present.
Appears to be energizing.
There was an expression on the monster's grotesque face, which was probably - I'll kill you all when I finish charging up.
Su Xiaoying: "If you want to leave the ancient town, there is only one way to go, and that is to suppress this monster."
Shen Dongqing was slightly contemptuous: "Then you are too stupid. It took me two seconds to figure out another way."
Su Xiaoying was stunned: "What?"
Shen Dongqing's voice fell crisply: "Kill it!"
Su Xiaoying: "This, this is impossible..."
The doctor, who had been behind the bushes, found that the situation was not right. He stuck his head out and said, "You can push a dice!"
Push a roll.
After a failure, when you are about to face death, you can apply for a push roll. If you succeed, you can get double the profit, but if you fail, the punishment is terrible.
But does this have anything to do with Su Xiaoying? Anyway, the terrible punishment didn't fall on her.
"A pushed roll might be successful," the doctor said. "There's nothing we can do."
"It makes sense." Shen Dongqing nodded, "Then make a push."
Although I don't quite understand the meaning of this all-or-nothing bet, but since I have this skill, I don't need it for nothing.
The game may lie in some places, but in terms of the rules, it is impossible to deceive the player.
It's really a game of luck, and everything is run by the dice, whether it's clue gathering, combat, or... life and death.
Ding-
A hundred sided dice fell.
Game: "Big Success!"
At the same time, Shen Dongqing threw the stick in his hand.
The monster seemed to have sensed something, and desperately waved its tentacles, trying to stop the wooden stick coming from the sky.
However, with the blessing of great success, the stick managed to avoid all the tentacles, and finally hit the core of the monster with a puff.
The monster let out a cry.
Then, at a speed that did not match its huge body, it quickly climbed to the bottom of the cliff, and even the wooden stick on it trembled, looking very painful.
Shen Dongqing fell into deep thought: "Where did I poke it?"
Other players: "… "
The detective struggled to get up: "Are we winning?"
The doctor shrank back: "Yes, yes."
Su Xiaoying was incredulous: "How is it possible?"
After the game was silent for a while: [Because the monster was injured and hit, I plan to return to the cave to be a dead house, and I don't want to come out for nearly a hundred years]
[Dungeon clearance]
Obviously, it didn't expect to be able to pass the customs like this.
Shen Dongqing: "That's it?"
Is this gone
The game also felt humiliated, and after the result was broadcast, there was no more sound.
The doctor got up: "Is it over?" She even looked at her right hand, but the sarcoma on it did not subside, "What's going on?"
The detective also breathed a sigh of relief: "It should be necessary to go through the scene again, we have to take this person out."
Su Xiaoying: "I can't get out. If you can get out, bring this to my family." She put a hair tie on the ground.
Detective: "What about you?"
Su Xiaoying: "I have to wait for the arrival of the next group of people."
Following Su Xiaoying's words, the group of aborigines who were lying on the ground wriggled and straightened up, gradually regaining their human form, and they walked down the mountain as if nothing had happened.
After everyone was gone, Su Xiaoying turned into a tentacle monster again, the tentacles separated, and Zhou Aying walked out of it. She was the same, standing there with a blank face.
"Maybe one day, we can wait until liberation."
Having said that, Su Xiaoying took Zhou Aying and jumped off the cliff together.
Other players:
How do you feel that they are being played by NPCs together
Zhou Wenyan: "The copy is about to restart."
The detective quickly picked up the hair tie on the ground and ran outside the ancient town.
After the player left, there was a rumbling sound behind him, and with a glance from the corner of his eye, he could see that the back seemed to have been wiped by an eraser, returning to the way it was before they came.
Shen Dongqing: "It seems that there is no way to destroy this copy."
There are some regrets in the words.
Game: ... I'm so sorry.
The group quickly came to the exit of the ancient town, and just as they were about to leave, two tentacles suddenly appeared in the darkness.
Because as long as you leave this ancient town, even if you have cleared the customs, the doctor was not prepared at all, and was caught off guard by the tentacles and dragged back abruptly.
"Help, save me—"
The detective shuddered.
Will it be him next? After all, he had also touched gold.
The detective hurriedly ran outside, but the tentacles did not arrive. When he was about to leave the copy, he saw Shen Dongqing withdrew the feet that were stepping on the tentacles.
The photographer was still there and said, "Thank you, I don't know if this camera will still be there when I go back, so I'll give you this first."
After the photographer handed over the camera, he broke away from the copy.
Shen Dongqing: "Let's take a photo as a souvenir."
Zhou Wenyan held the camera in one hand and put his arm around the person, and took a selfie of the two of them.
click-
On the screen, the heads of the two people are next to each other, and behind them is the rising Xihui after the restart.
[You have left the ancient town]
[This time is an unconventional dungeon, there is no point reward, and special items are dropped [Polaroid*1]]
Shen Dongqing touched his pocket, and unexpectedly took out a pink-blue camera: "Polaroid?"
Item description is written on it - one-time imaging camera, any time you shoot.
Looking at it again, there are still two photos inside, which are the images of the two of them left on the previous copy.
Shen Dongqing: "It's quite useful."
He thought about it for a while, and shot it in the room on the spot.
Halfway through the shoot, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Zhou Wenyan went to open the door.
Wu Jia's face was exposed, and he raised his hand: "I'm sorry, didn't I bother you?"
Zhou Wenyan: "What's the matter?"
Wu Jia: "When you entered the dungeon, we got a message that the ghost town is about to open. As long as you stay in the city when the ghost gate opens, you can enter the ghost town, so let me remind you, don't Re-enter the tour…”
Before the words were finished, the two people in the room disappeared inexplicably, Wu Jia stayed where he was, and stiffly spit out the following half of the words: "... It's a play."
Wu Jiaren is stupid.
How come people disappeared before the words were finished
[You have entered the yacht]
[The yacht will run aground in half an hour, please be prepared]
Shen Dongqing was caught off guard and appeared on a small yacht, surrounded by blue sea and blue sky, the sea breeze was blowing slowly, and seagulls fluttered from above.
"What's wrong?" Shen Dongqing was a little at a loss.
Just now they were sitting in the room and taking selfies, why did they suddenly enter the game
Shen Dongqing's reaction caused the players next to him to mistake him for a novice, and a glasses girl explained: "We are in the game now, not filming nor kidnapped, you guys be careful, if you die here, it's the real thing. is dead."
Although Shen Dongqing didn't understand why the glasses girl said such a bunch of nonsense, but she could feel that she was a good person, so she said "oh".
This kind of calm performance in the eyes of other players will only make them feel scared and stupid.
A man in a jacket said: "There is still half an hour, let's get to know each other first, after all, we have to get along for a while."
No one responded to this proposal, and the players reported their homes.
There are now six people sitting on the yacht, namely a woman with glasses, a jacket, a man with tattoos, a woman with a long skirt, as well as Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan.
The tattooed man is also a new player. He cursed: "What the hell is this place? Stranded? Can you control this broken ship?"
Jacket raised his chin: "Try it yourself."
The tattooed man straightened up to control the steering wheel of the yacht, but no matter how he turned, the yacht was out of control, it couldn't stop, couldn't turn, and moved forward tirelessly.
"Shit!" The tattooed man patted the steering wheel, "Where is this going?!"
Jacket was too lazy to pay attention to this reckless newcomer, but took this opportunity to observe the surroundings.
Surrounded by a vast sea, without any reference, as if in the vast world, there is only a small yacht.
The tattooed man scolded for a long time, but when he saw that there was no response, he could only shut his mouth.
After a moment of silence, there was a sudden exclamation.
The players thought what happened and looked over nervously.
Shen Dongqing scooped up a handful of seawater: "There are fish below."
Other players: …
The tattooed man also scolded: "Are you an idiot? Isn't it normal to have fish in the sea?"
The sea water dripped from Shen Dongqing's fingers, he said seriously: "It's a very big fish."
Tattooed man: "How big can it be?"
Shen Dongqing: "It's very big." He added a description, "It's bigger than a boat."
"It's not normal for such a big fish..." The tattooed man was halfway through, when he suddenly realized something was wrong, and he slowly lowered his head.
At some point, the yacht came to a darker sea area, and a large area was indigo blue, but after watching it for a long time, I found that it was not the color of the sea, but a huge object lurking under the water.
Sure enough, it was a very big fish, and it swam under the yacht. As long as it turned over or something, the yacht would immediately be knocked over into the sea.
The players felt a sense of fear.
This is not something that ghosts can bring, it is the powerlessness in the face of nature.
The woman in glasses lowered her voice: "Why is this fish so big..."
Shen Dongqing said, "I can't even put the grill down."
Woman with glasses:
The tattooed man who was very arrogant just now is like his grandson: "It won't do anything to us, will it?"
Perhaps the atmosphere was too tense, so Shen Dongqing took the initiative to ease the atmosphere: "Let me tell you a joke, sharks don't actually eat people, but they will bite and taste, so the whole sea area is full of sharks, and every fish is there. Saying 'Bah, it's not delicious', one bite of the fish will eat up the people."
"Ha ha-"
Shen Dongqing was overjoyed.
But other players can't get the joke.
Shen Dongqing blinked: "Isn't it funny?"
Zhou Wenyan joined in: "It's funny."
Shen Dongqing snorted twice and said, "So this fish shouldn't eat people."
Just after this one, the atmosphere not only did not ease, but it became more dignified.
But fortunately, the fish was just passing by, and swam away silently after waiting for a long time.
Only then did the players on the yacht dare to gasp loudly.
But not long after, the players became nervous again.
"There's an island ahead!" The woman in glasses pointed to the front.
When the others looked, a touch of emerald color gradually appeared in front of them.
Maybe it was about to reach the destination, and the speed of the yacht suddenly accelerated, rushed over, and did not stop until the beach. In the end, half of the yacht stopped on the beach and ran aground.
Players, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to go down first.
The first one to go down was Shen Dongqing. He jumped down and picked up a hermit crab on the ground.
The hermit crab soared into the air, flapping its little claws feebly.
"Can I eat it?" Shen Dongqing picked up the poor hermit crab.
Zhou Wenyan: "I haven't tasted it."
Shen Dongqing looked at it, compared the hermit crab with the big fish that had just swam by, and still released the hermit crab.
The hermit crab that escaped the disaster turned a corner and quickly drilled back into the sea, leaving only a thin trace on the beach.
At this time, the sound of the game rang: [Because the yacht is stranded, you will be stranded on the island, please find a way to leave the island]
The jacket also jumped off the yacht: "There is no time limit this time."
Generally speaking, the game will be limited for a time, three or seven days, once the puzzles of the game cannot be solved within this time, the whole army will be wiped out.
The woman in the long skirt carefully held the corner of the skirt: "The scenery here is very good."
It may be that he stepped on the solid ground from the erratic state, and the tattooed man relaxed his mind: "I thought it was a game, it turned out to be leaving the island, let's make a bonfire here for help."
The woman with glasses pushed her glasses: "It won't be that simple."
Tattooed man: "Why do men talk and women interrupt? As long as we light a bonfire, passing planes and ships will find it, and we can leave in no time."
The jacket coldly glanced at the tattooed man.
Compared with the self-righteous tattooed man, Shen Dongqing, who was snoring before, has also gotten better.
but…
What about those two people
The remaining players looked around and found that the two were already picking coconuts there.
The players were speechless.
Do you really think of this as an island tour
Shen Dongqing climbed up the coconut tree in two or three strokes, and shook it vigorously twice, and the overripe coconut fell off with a "puff puff" and fell to the ground.
After shaking, he jumped straight down and fell into Zhou Wenyan's arms.
Zhou Wenyan took a full hug, then reached out and touched Shen Dongqing's messy bangs.
Shen Dongqing smiled and kissed Zhou Wenyan, turned around and brought two coconuts, and found a sharp stone nearby to smash the coconuts apart.
They drank one by one.
The wild coconut water is very sweet, Shen Dongqing took a big mouthful, wiped his mouth, and said strangely, "Why did the game suddenly pull us into the dungeon?"
Zhou Wenyan took a sip of coconut juice: "Wu Jia said before that the ghost town will only send invitations to players who stay in the rest area, and those in the dungeon will not be able to enter the ghost gate."
Shen Dongqing immediately sat up straight: "So the game doesn't want us to enter the ghost town?"
Zhou Wenyan: "That's it."
Shen Dongqing held the coconut and said, "But I still remember..."
When he was in the life science research company, the ghost from the ghost town told him that he could enter the ghost gate no matter where he was.
He felt that way too.
So the game is useless.
Shen Dongqing: "However, why do I feel that the game is afraid."
I am afraid that he will enter the ghost town, so recently the game has various tricks, and I want him to be included in the game.
Are there any secrets in the ghost town
Shen Dongqing tilted his head and thought for a while, but didn't want to understand.
Zhou Wenyan rubbed his head: "I'll find out when I get there."
Shen Dongqing was not a person who would be trapped by doubts, he immediately put the question behind him and drank the coconut juice happily.
"The sea view is so beautiful, I haven't seen it before." Shen Dongqing buried her hands in the beach, feeling the temperature from the sea breeze, which was extremely comfortable.
Zhou Wenyan put his hand on the shoulders of the person beside him: "It's good."
The two of them looked at the sea.
On the other hand, the players were far less relaxed than the two of them. They searched around the beach and found nothing useful. The yacht could not be started and needed maintenance.
Leaving the island on a yacht is utter nonsense.
The jacket can only be taken off the yacht with something useful.
"It's not very good news, we don't have much supplies, especially fresh water."
Tattooed man: "Water? Isn't there water in front of this place?"
No one wants to deal with this idiot now.
Seawater and freshwater are completely two concepts. Without a conversion device, drinking seawater is simply asking for a dead end.
Woman in long skirt: "There are coconuts over there."
There are several coconut trees growing along the beach.
However, according to the number of players, the coconuts here will be eaten up in two days.
Jacket: "You can only go deep."
He counted the supplies on the ship: "We only have two bottles of mineral water, a lighter, a pack of cigarettes, and a knife. We're gone."
Tattooed man: "Go inside? Don't you stay by the beach for help? Maybe there is a passing boat."
"Enough." The woman with glasses became cold. "If there is no shipping route around here, there will be no ship coming over until you die. If you want to die, I can take you there now."
Tattooed man: "You are a woman..."
The woman with glasses didn't talk nonsense, and kicked the tattooed man to the ground. Then she patted the gravel on her body and walked towards the island with her jacket.
The woman in the long skirt looked at the two sides, and finally went with the side with more people.
The tattooed man gritted his teeth and stood up, "Bah", but he still didn't dare to stay here alone, so he could only follow him in despair.
The beach is a rainforest, probably because they are afraid of snakes, ants, and mosquitoes. The women in jackets and glasses walking in front are very vigilant. The women in the long skirts and the tattooed men in the middle walk staggeringly because they are inexperienced, which highlights the back. The two of them were extremely relaxed.
Shen Dongqing was still in high spirits: "It's like surviving in the wilderness! I want to eat game!"
His words came to the front, and the jacket curled his lips contemptuously.
This kind of newcomer who doesn't know how high the sky is, must be the first to die.
He scolded in a low voice, "Unlucky."
This time, I bumped into four newcomers, one was a burden, and three were mentally ill.
The author has something to say: young jackets don't understand...
