Screaming Cycle (Infinite Flow)

Chapter 142: Peach Blossom Spring-01

Views:

Ji Thrush felt that he just closed and opened his eyes. When he regained his sanity, he had already left the world of "Ghost Talk Twenty-Four O'clock" and returned to the small black room in the Colosseum of "Peach Blossom Spring".

Ji Xiaoniao immediately lowered her head and began to check her equipment in a familiar way.

The bracelet made of his precious longbow is well put on his hand, and there is a lot of "Onmyoji Shikigami (Elementary)" in his pocket, but disposable props such as short knives and ropes are the same There are no more.

In addition, there was a small thing in his pocket, and when he took it out, it was the reward given to them by the organizer of the game "Ghost Talk Twenty-Four O'clock"—a flat glass box about half the size of a palm.

Ji Thrush clenched his fist excitedly.

Since it can be brought back to the "Peach Blossom Spring", it means that this small box must be a new collection.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoniao raised his hand and touched the smooth mirror-like wall of the room.

Ripple-like ripples rippled from his fingertips round and round.

[Confirmation number C0919 Participants entered the 〖Peach Blossom Spring〗, conscious and in good spirits, ready to interact.]

The artificial intelligence Xiaobai appeared from the void.

This time he changed his attire again. He was wearing the American hippie-style plaid suspenders from a century ago. His long black hair was combed slickly, and he had a small pull on the back of his head, and the top was buttoned crookedly. The wide-brimmed hat with a broken brim looks as if he could go on stage and dance an Elvis Presley immediately.

[Welcome back, serial number C0919, Mr. Ji Thrush, always at your service.]

He winked playfully at Season Thrush.

Probably because I have been in "Peach Blossom Land" for a long time, and every time I come back, I feel like I survived and survived for another month, so even my artificial intelligence looks extraordinarily delicate and friendly.

So Ji Xiaoniao smiled at Xiaobai, and said softly:

"Okay, let's settle the points first."

He waved his hand at the AI, "I'll talk about the rest later."

[Understood, now I will settle the points for you immediately.]

After Xiaobai changed his clothing style, it was like changing his personality, and even the tone of his speech took on a weird American translation accent.

[〖Twenty-Four Points of Spirituality〗world, difficulty B, 46% map exploration, 98% completion of the main line, 37% completion of side tasks, achievement 〖All team members survived 〗, trigger achievement [High Efficiency Clearance], trigger achievement [Dungeon Clearance Rate 100%].]

—It seems that this "world" is done well.

Ji Thrush nodded inwardly.

Although the degree of exploration of the map is a bit low, there is no way to do it. After all, there are a total of thirteen supernatural locations on the entire map, and it will definitely not be able to run through it in only three days.

But other than that, they almost completed the main mission 100%, and got three achievements.

According to the experience of the previous world, every achievement has a large amount of bonus points, and the score this time will definitely not be too low.

Sure enough, Xiaobai then reported his score: [Above, a total of 22045 points.]

Ji thrush was very happy.

Although the score is not comparable to the 50,000 points of the first difficulty breakthrough bonus after the last "perfect pass", but it has been three months since he came to the "Peach Blossom Land", and the Fan family siblings were added to the team later. The two senior participants have a good idea of how many points they can generally get for the "world" with B-level difficulty.

So this time, getting more than 20,000 points at one time is already considered a very good result.

Then Ji Thrush thought of a question:

"By the way, Xiaobai, what the hell is going on with 'Ghost Talk Twenty-Four Points'?"

He pondered for a while, and changed to a straightforward question:

"I mean, who is the game party and why does such a weird game exist?"

This time, Xiaobai tilted his head and didn't answer right away.

According to the definition of artificial intelligence, this is not in the category of "plot review", but it is not in the taboo that cannot be answered.

He thought for a moment and replied:

[Although I can't tell you the real identity of the game owner, here is an appendix about the 〖World〗, are you interested in reading it?]

Ji Thrush nodded.

In "Peach Blossom Spring", whether the participants can survive in each "world" depends largely on their ability to collect and analyze intelligence.

Compared with the previous three worlds, this "Twenty-Four Points of Strange Talk" is very special in Ji Thrush's view.

It has no obvious cause and effect, and it does not give them any chance to learn the details of the game organizer.

The entire game system is like a miniature version of "Peach Blossom Spring", controlling the red and blue contestants to complete the confrontation tasks designated by the game party. The only way to end the game is to win or fail.

[Okay, I will play the official promotional material of the latest season of "Brave Live" for you soon.]

With a wave of Xiaobai's hand, the wall of the little black room turned into a playback screen again.

Ji Thrush: "???"

—Wait, what did the AI just say

- "Brave Live"

— the latest season

—Official promotional material

Before he could finish digesting the meaning of the combination of these words, familiar applause and cheers sounded in the room.

On the screen, the camera quickly passed over the heads of the crowds of viewers.

All of these people's faces are blurred, their faces cannot be seen clearly, and many of the silhouettes look indescribable, not like a normal human being at all.

It's just that they, without exception, were cheering, shouting, applauding and applauding excitedly, as if they were immersed in an exciting show.

[welcome! Welcome everyone!]

The camera zoomed out, extending from the close-up of the auditorium to the entire venue, and then focused on a huge fluorescent screen erected in the middle of the stage.

The screen is divided into two, with red on the left and blue on the right. Characters that Ji Thrush cannot understand are displayed on the color blocks on both sides, and these characters are still beating in seconds.

For some reason, Ji Xiaoniao guessed it right away—the display on this screen should be the real-time odds of the two teams.

At this time, a familiar rabbit face mask suddenly enlarged, and a huge close-up crowded the entire screen.

The rabbit-faced man waved his hands excitedly, and the voice processed by the voice changer had an exaggerated operatic cadence:

[Yes, we are back! Everyone's old friend, the twelfth season of "Brave Live" is coming back!]

—Wow, it’s already been twelve seasons

Ji Thrush was shocked.

In other words, before them, there were already eleven groups of unlucky people who had played similar spooky talk games

However, he soon realized that he had guessed wrong.

Because what will be played next is the highlights of the past eleven seasons.

[In the past eleven seasons, we have welcomed countless brave contestants. They have been assigned many strange and complicated tasks, and they have to compete with equally powerful opponents!]

The screen flickered extremely fast, and Ji Thrush saw the dazzling reality show challenge.

Contestants fought large insects in jungle-like places, escaped by stepping on hot rocks in lava rivers, captured a large group of green goblins in medieval castles, and even drove Gundam, which could only appear in science fiction movies. The wacky robot fights inseparably.

Ji thrush said in his heart that it turned out that the player's abilities were far more powerful than he had imagined, and it was obvious that the way of the game was by no means limited to collecting poker cards in various ghost story locations in a city.

[These brave people, some of them won, some failed; some of them survived and took away rich rewards, some lost their lives, or were brutally executed!]

The voice of the rabbit-headed man continued.

In the screen, victory and defeat, life and death switch alternately.

Not special effects, not acting, but real, facing the challenge of life and death.

Looking at the real moment of life and death in front of him from the perspective of a third person, Ji Thrush only felt a chill in his heart.

In fact, these "Peach Blossom Spring" performers are not like this.

They have to be forced into a strange "world" every month, and try their best to survive, but they can't get relief, they can only return here and wait for the next month's cycle.

[Now, we are back!]

The rabbit-headed man's voice suddenly rose by a full octave, and the cheers on the scene became louder at the same time, mixed with rough growls and roars.

[More contestants! More fun games! More brutal challenges!]

In the picture, the camera has a bird's-eye view of the night scene of a city, and Ji Thrush can almost recognize it at a glance, that is where they stayed for three whole days.

[This time, we have arranged a brand new game mode. Brave people should not only have a strong mind, calm thinking, and unyielding fighting spirit, but also face their inner fears and seek victory in the dark!]

The night scene of the city switches to ten blurred silhouettes, standing in two teams, in a confrontational state.

[〖Brave Live〗Twelfth Season-〖Twenty-four Points of Strange Talk〗!]

The rabbit-faced man hissed and shouted:

[Let us look forward to it together!]

The promotional video ended here, and the screen disappeared, turning back into a metal wall.

Ji Thrush still stared at the blank wall, lost in thought.

Indeed, the ghost talk "world" he just experienced is indeed very similar to "Peach Blossom Spring" to some extent.

Both select and capture contestants in a way that goes beyond common sense, forcing them to act according to their own rules and having absolute control over them.

They seem to exist like "God", whether it is a participant or a contestant, in terms of current abilities, they are simply unable to compete with them...

——Then, in addition to following the rules of "Peach Blossom Spring" and repeating the challenges of one "world" after another, until finally breaking through the SS-level difficulty...

—Is there... is there really no other way

[Mr. Ji Thrush.]

Xiaobai waited for a while, saw that Ji Xiaoniao was still staring at a blank wall, and asked intimately:

[Do you have any questions?]

Ji Thrush quickly regained his senses: "It's okay."

His current thoughts are really outrageous, and Xiao Bai can't let Xiaobai notice even the slightest clue.

Ji Xiaoniao showed an unprecedented and pleasant smile towards his artificial intelligence:

"I don't have any doubts anymore, thank you!"
