Non-Human Seeking Re-employment

Chapter 108: Ghost town

Views:

Shen Dongqing had a friendly conversation with the drowned ghosts. In a friendly atmosphere, the drowned ghosts were moved, gave up the idea of catching people into the water, and turned to help players leave the island.

Shen Dongqing said with a smile: "Actually, we are all good people."

The drowned nods in tears.

Surrounded by the drowned, the ship automatically moved away from the huge island without any force from the player.

Shen Dongqing sat on the stern, the thumbs and index fingers of both hands stood up, forming a rectangular frame that included the entire island.

The island between the fingers became smaller and smaller, almost becoming a black spot.

The drowned can't get too far from the island, and have long since dived back under the water, and now there is only a small wooden boat swaying on the sea.

Finally reaching a safe place, the woman in the long skirt has fallen on the boat.

But the woman in the jacket and glasses did not relax, and still looked around vigilantly.

Woman with glasses: "I always feel that something is wrong."

Jacket nodded silently.

Shen Dongqing also thought about it later: "Why is there no game broadcast?"

According to any of the game, as long as you leave this island, it is considered a clearance, but they are now 800 miles away, why haven't they announced that they have successfully cleared the customs

Shen Dongqing held her chin and looked at Zhou Wenyan.

Zhou Wenyan was looking down at the sea.

The sea is calm and clear, but further down, there seems to be an existence that is thicker than darkness. It lurks there silently, without any hostility.

"I guessed wrong." Zhou Wenyan raised his eyes, "We didn't leave this island."

The woman with glasses exclaimed, "How is that possible!"

In the distance, the island named Jorman Gund was only a little green, not covered by the sea level, but... all sunk to the bottom of the sea.

The woman in the long skirt looked pale, as if thinking of something.

Zhou Wenyan said: "The giant pythons in the world can form a world end to end. We haven't left this island yet, because... only a part of it floats on the sea."

Shen Dongqing was a little dazed: "Huh?"

Zhou Wenyan explained: "The entire sea is 'Yorman Gund'."

The earthly python is huge enough to contain the entire world. Of course, it will not be just a small island. Under the whole ocean is the body of Yorman Gund.

They are still on the island.

Jacket stood up suddenly: "Then what should we do?"

The girl in the long dress looks like she's going to cry.

Zhou Wenyan was relatively calm: "According to what the drowning ghost said, the earthly python will turn over. When it gets up and moves, it will definitely get up, and then we just jump down and leave its body."

It sounds simple, but it is not so easy to implement.

After all, in terms of the size of the earthly python, there is no difference between humans and ants. It does not need to be deliberately hurt. As long as it is lightly touched, the life of the ants will not be saved.

The jacket felt a little strange.

This game dungeon is a little different from the past. There is no time limit, no puzzles, or even NPCs. The only danger is the group of drowned ghosts, which is completely different from the previous dungeons.

In fact, these players are also a bit unlucky.

This game copy was specially selected by the game to trap Zhou Wenyan and Shen Dongqing. Naturally, they were looking for the weird ones. It was normal for them to be different.

Woman with glasses: "It's only luck now."

The players in a boat fell into silence.

Even Shen Dongqing was no exception, his cheeks bulged and he said, "I can't swim."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Dongqing saw an extra hand in front of him, and he looked over in confusion.

Zhou Wenyan stretched out his fingers: "Hold me tight then."

Shen Dongqing gave an "oh", put his hand on it, clasped Zhou Wenyan's fingers tightly, and the two were next to each other. Shen Dongqing suddenly thought of something and said, "How big is this snake?"

Zhou Wenyan wasn't quite sure: "It should be... very big."

Shen Dongqing thought for a while: "Forget it, it's definitely not delicious if it's so big."

Other players: …

Being interrupted like this, the other players relaxed a little, waiting for the moment when the giant snake turned over.

They didn't wait for a long time. First, a shadow slowly swam below, and then the entire sea awoke. Countless bubbles rose from the bottom of the sea, and finally burst on the sea, as if a fire was added below to boil the sea.

The small wooden boat seemed to be swaying in a storm, and it would be smashed to pieces if it was not careful.

The players stared down.

The island has all sunk under the sea, leaving only a huge vortex, which is getting bigger and bigger, and almost will involve the wooden boat in it.

At this time, the players realized that they did not leave the island too far at all.

Jacket: "Can you jump?"

Zhou Wenyan held Shen Dongqing's hand: "Wait."

Such a wait is really too painful.

I don't know how long it took, the giant python under the sea finally moved, just like Moses dividing the sea, the sea was divided into two parts, the waves rose high and fell, directly shooting the small wooden boat to pieces.

The players are scattered in the sea.

You can still see a person in the jacket, and other players can't see the trace at all. Fortunately, Zhou Wenyan held Shen Dongqing tightly, and the two did not separate.

Shen Dongqing was caught off guard and poured two mouthfuls of sea water, and hung his hands on Zhou Wenyan's body weakly.

At this point the sky suddenly darkened.

The person below looked up and found that the sun was covered by a shadow. After a while, Zhou Wenyan found that it was not a dark cloud, but a snake head raised high. There are many more hidden beneath the ocean floor.

Zhou Wenyan grabbed Shen Dongqing and swam to the outside.

But after swimming for a long time, I found that it was still on the body of the earthly python.

Shen Dongqing spit out a mouthful of sea water with a "bah" and raised her voice: "This is too big!"

The jacket swam in the wrong direction over there, and just hit the giant python that turned over. The python didn't do anything, and he was overturned on the sea and lost consciousness.

Zhou Wenyan stopped to judge the direction, and pulled Shen Dongqing to turn around.

It's just that the earthly python is really too big, covering almost the entire sea area, and it can't swim to the end.

Shen Dongqing was more optimistic and said, "It's a big deal to be a ghost together..." Halfway through, he suddenly frowned, "I don't like being a drowned ghost, it's ugly and smelly, it's better to change the way of death."

Zhou Wenyan said solemnly, "Don't talk nonsense."

Shen Dongqing let out an "oh" and followed along obediently.

Just now, the earthly python may have just woken up, and it was slow to move. Now it is completely awake, and it is moving so loudly that whirlpools appear on the sea.

In any case, manpower cannot compete with the power of nature.

Even Zhou Wenyan couldn't break free from the whirlpool's attraction, he turned his head and glanced at Shen Dongqing: "Let go."

Shen Dongqing didn't know why, but he was still obedient and let go of his hand.

As soon as he let go, Zhou Wenyan shoved abruptly, pushing Shen Dongqing in the opposite direction. Shen Dongqing was out of the whirlpool, but he himself went deeper into it and had no chance to leave.

Shen Dongqing floated on the sea, stunned for a moment, did not listen to Zhou Wenyan's words, and swam towards the whirlpool without hesitation. The swimming posture was a bit ugly, but it did not affect his speed.

Shen Dongqing left and returned, grabbing Zhou Wenyan.

Zhou Wenyan was helpless: "Why are you back?"

Shen Dongqing spit out a mouthful of sea water: "I'm not afraid of death, it's a big deal to be a drowned ghost together."

In a short period of time, the two of them were about to be swallowed by the vortex, and at this moment, a white cloud suddenly floated below.

puff-

The waves broke, and Shen Dongqing wiped the seawater on his face and looked down.

The big fish they had seen swam slowly by, and the two of them were riding on the big fish.

Zhou Wenyan and Shen Dongqing were soaked all over, looking at each other, they smiled at each other.

The big fish is huge, and its swimming speed does not seem to be fast, but in fact, it has left the vortex area in the blink of an eye and headed for a farther place.

Shen Dongqing shook his wet hair: "Where is it going to take us?"

Zhou Wenyan: "The door."

Shen Dongqing: "Huh?"

Zhou Wenyan stretched out his finger.

Shen Dongqing squinted his eyes, and sure enough, on the sea level, there was an extra gate leading to the sky. The door frames on both sides were carved with ghosts with green faces and fangs. From a distance, it was heart-pounding. The door was slowly closing, and in the process, strands of black mist escaped from it.

"Ghost Gate." Shen Dongqing stood up and looked at the ghost gate from a distance, "I feel very familiar..."

The big fish swam towards the ghost gate, making waves on the sea, and at the last moment when the gate was closed, it fell into the arms of the gate.

boom-

The ghost gate was closed, and the black mist floated in the air and gradually dissipated.

[You have entered a ghost town]

[Please draw your ID card]

When the players learned that the ghost town was about to open, they canceled their plans and stayed in the resting place, waiting for the ghost gate to open. So now the dark square is full of players, there are hundreds of people, almost crowded.

In this state, even if there are two more people, others will not notice.

Wu Jia: "Boss, I thought you guys couldn't catch up..." As he said that, he glanced at the two wet people and showed an ambiguous smile, "What? What have you guys been up to?"

Zhou Wenyan immediately gave him a slap.

Wu Jia hurriedly ducked: "You didn't come just now. The game announced the rules. We will hide our 'human' identity and enter the ghost town to find the ghost king's treasure."

A ghost town, as the name suggests, is of course a place where ghosts live. When humans go into it, it is no different from a little sheep that has strayed into the wolf pack. In order to survive, of course, they have to disguise themselves as "wolves".

"I'm drawing ID cards now."

Just as he was talking, a box hanging in the air shook violently, like a goddess scattered flowers, and countless cards fell down in front of every player.

Wu Jia grabbed the card in front of him, Shen Dongqing leaned over and glanced at it, the words "drowned" were written on it in wet font.

Shen Dongqing touched his sleeves full of sea water and muttered, "I suspect that the game is against me and I have evidence."

Just after he said he hated drowning ghosts, he made a drowning ghost character for his friends.

Wu Jia didn't understand the meaning of Shen Dongqing's words, but he tactfully ignored the past and jumped to another topic: "Why don't you guys get stuck?"

Each player has an ID card in front of them, only Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan have none.

It was just too late to understand the problem, the gate of the square was opened, and two guards came out, one of the head was missing a piece that seemed to be hit to death, and the other's tongue was pulled so long that it was almost hanging on the chest, A hanged man.

These two people, Oh Bugui, were very impatient, pointed to a group of players and said, "I have all queued up for me before I can enter."

The players didn't dare to talk, they quickly lined up and walked in one by one.

Because the players were all holding the ID cards issued by the game, the two gatekeepers didn't notice anything wrong and let them go.

Seeing that the team was about to line up with them, Wu Jia couldn't help but feel anxious: "Can you enter without ID cards?"

Shen Dongqing: "It shouldn't be a problem, it seems that their IQ is not very high."

Wu Jia:

Hearing what he said, Wu Jia had no choice but to put down his worries and stepped forward to accept the scrutiny of the two ghosts.

The Hanged Man is a big tongue: "You you are you drowned?"

Wu Jia: "Yes, yes."

The hit-to-kill ghost looked up and down for a while, and finally said, "It's not like that."

Wu Jia is stupid.

Just now such a large group of players passed by, these two ghosts didn't have a single question, why did they start asking questions when they arrived at him? This time, he was stopped by the question, and he couldn't respond at all.

Fortunately, a hand put a hand on Wu Jia's shoulder and pulled him behind: "We are drowned."

Hanged Ghost: "You, you, you, you?"

Killing Ghost's eyes rolled around, looking at the two wet people who had just been fished out of the sea, and nodded: "I think it looks like it."

The hanged ghost pointed at Wu Jia and said, "He doesn't look like him."

Shen Dongqing said, "He went ashore first and was dried. Does the salted fish know? That's it."

Wu Jia:

The Hanged Ghost and the Hit-and-Kill Ghost unexpectedly accepted these two arguments and opened the door to let the group in.

Just closed like that

Wu Jia still didn't respond.

Shen Dongqing gave a "tsk" and shook his head with regret on his face.

Wu Jia couldn't hold back and asked, "What do you regret?"

Shen Dongqing: "It was so easy for us to pass the test."

Wu Jia: "...otherwise?"

Shen Dongqing: "Otherwise I can beat the two of them and come in again."

Did not eat or sleep well on the deserted island, and finally was forced to take a sea swim. Shen Dongqing had long been full of fire, and was waiting for the hapless man to slam into the door. Unexpectedly, these two ghosts So uncooperative, even let them in.

The hit and hanged ghost standing at the door shivered.

Hanged Ghost: "Why is it a little cold?"

Killing Ghost: "Are you stupid? How can you be cold when you're dead?"

After an episode, the two ghosts continued to guard the gate.

Wu Jia withdrew his gaze.

Brothers, you have escaped unwittingly.

The name of the ghost town is a bit weird, but in fact the buildings inside are relatively modern, almost the same as the third-tier cities outside.

It is because the ghosts who live there are surrounded by yin, and the house decays and ages faster, and it is gloomy when you walk in.

Wu Jia: "I didn't expect it to be quite livable here."

The half-body ghost who was leading the way in front had pointed ears, and after hearing it, he said proudly, "Of course, our ghost town is thriving and flourishing under the leadership of the ghost king!"

There are question marks all over Wu Jia's head.

how? Could it be that the ghost king is still a party member

Over there, Shen Dongqing felt inexplicably the same: "It's not bad, the ghosts here look different from the ghosts in other places."

Half body was so happy that his mouth was split open, and the corner of his mouth was almost pulled to the base of his ear: "That's..."

The aborigines of the ghost town are inexplicably enthusiastic. After a couple of sentences, they say everything like a bean.

Wu Jia was thinking about finding the ghost king's treasure, so he led half the ghost to take it to the ghost king.

The half ghost was defenseless: "Master Ghost King, he likes to stay in his residence, and we haven't seen Master Ghost King for a long time."

Looking in the direction that the ghost was pointing, there was a building in the center of the ghost town. They were standing on the periphery, where they were trapped by the black fog, so hazy that they couldn't see clearly at all.

Ban Duo Gui said, "You are new here, and you still have to pass the test."

Zhou Wenyan: "What test?"

The half ghost didn't say anything, and stood at the door of a two-story building: "Come here, you can live here for a few days."

Wu Jia wanted to ask again, but as soon as he turned his head, half the ghost disappeared. It seemed that there were only three of them left on the street, and the other players disappeared.

If you think about it carefully, it's strange. There are hundreds of players who come in. The periphery of this ghost town is not big, and there is not a single one.

Wu Jia was still thinking about this, when Shen Dongqing went up and knocked on the door.

dong dong dong —

After a while, the door was gently opened by the person inside, revealing a half-grey face. For some reason, the NPCs inside saw the three players standing outside so excited that they couldn't stop drooling.

"Come in, come in!"

The npc opened the door and warmly invited them in.

How Wu Jia thinks it feels like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

But there is no way, the task is here, Wu Jia can only bite the bullet and go in.

Shen Dongqing shook off the dust in front of him and asked strangely, "What are you afraid of?"

Wu Jia glanced at the strange npc walking in front, lowered his voice and said, "This npc doesn't look normal."

Shen Dongqing patted Wu Jia's shoulder and pointed to the person walking in front: "He's only one person... a ghost."

Wu Jia nodded: "Then?"

Shen Dongqing rolled his eyes: "We have three people, why are we afraid of him?"

Wu Jia suddenly realized: "...you're right!"

Then he held his head high, not at all afraid, and followed in.

creak —

The door closed automatically without wind.

But for the three players present, this little trick is not even an appetizer, and they are too lazy to look back.

The npc led the person into the hall.

From the outside, these buildings are quite normal, but when you walk in, you will find that there is an indescribable stench inside. It is dark and sticky on the ground.

The npc was a lame man with corpse spots on his face. He didn't know if it was a human or a ghost. He cracked his mouth and showed his yellow teeth: "Are you going into a ghost town?"

Wu Jia nodded.

The lame man said, "It's not so easy to enter a ghost town. Like us... we can only survive outside. That's it, you can find me a few things, and I will give you the token for entering the ghost town."

Shen Dongqing pinched her nose and had no time to speak.

Zhou Wenyan looked around.

The interior of this house is narrow, and it doesn’t look like it can live in people at all.

Seeing this, Wu Jia could only take over the task of wrangling with the NPC: "What?"

The lame man tapped his legs with his fingers: "I've used this body for several years, and it doesn't work well. I want to replace a wave of parts. You can help me find some things..."

"The eyeballs of the dead ghost, the arms of the hanged ghost, the legs of the unlucky ghost, and the heart of the prostitute."

"After finding it, I will give you the token to enter the inner city."

Shen Dongqing listened for a long time, then suddenly said: "Why don't you go in by yourself if you have the token?"

The lame man was asked: "Uh this... uh..."

Probably no player has ever asked such a question before, and he thought for a long time without thinking how to answer this impeccable question.

The lame man said angrily, "How do I know? You guys can find it quickly and it's over!"

Wu Jia thought of another question: "But they are all ghosts. It's useless for you to ask for these things."

A cold smile appeared on the lame man's face: "Those who have lived here for a long time are not good, but those who have come in can be used."

Those who have lived in the ghost town for a long time are naturally the aborigines, those are ghosts, and those who have just come in are all players, they are just disguised as ghosts, but they are actually people.

Wu Jia was surprised.

Isn't this clearly urging players to kill each other

The lame man said impatiently: "You guys don't hurry up, the number of tokens is limited..."

Wu Jia decided to discuss with the two friends before proceeding.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Shen Dongqing rushing up.

"Alas!" Wu Jia subconsciously stopped.

Shen Dongqing paused and looked back at Wu Jia in confusion.

Wu Jiagan smiled: "You, are you going to do it?"

Shen Dongqing rolled up his sleeves and said neatly: "He said he already has a token in his hand, why do he still need to do the task stupidly? Just beat him to death and it's over."

Wu Jia: …

The logic seems to be correct!

The lame man had never seen a player who played the cards unreasonably like this. He was forced to retreat again and again, and instantly changed from a cold villain to a pitiful little white flower, until there was no way to retreat, and then he stopped.

"You, what are you going to do?"

The identities of the two exchanged instantly.

Shen Dongqing has changed from a pure and kind player to a still pure and kind villain. The corners of his mouth curled up and a small dimple appeared on his cheek, which was quite cute: "Actually, we are not bad people..."

boom-

Just as he was talking, Shen Dongqing grabbed something and poked it, rubbing the lame man's neck and deeply embedded it into the wall.

"Don't be afraid." Shen Dongqing tilted her head and said with a smile, "As long as you hand over the token, we are good people, very kind."

"Understand?"

Handing over the token is a good guy, but what about not handing over the token

The lame man didn't really want to know the other ending, he said tremblingly, "I understand, I understand..."

Shen Dongqing opened his hand: "Hand over it."

Lame man: "I, I, I, I don't have either."

Shen Dongqing was angry: "You still have empty gloves and white wolf? Do you have any credit, who will dare to do business with you in the future?"

The lame man was about to cry.

He was only doing a one-time business, and he was a player. If he was trustworthy, who would be the villain
