Welcome to the Nightmare Game

Chapter 28: The first arrival in the land of dusk (5)

Views:

The dinner ended in a conversation, and it was already nineteen o'clock in the evening, but in the Land of Twilight, it was difficult to judge the time from the light. Only the distant bell and Su He's pocket watch could tell them the time.

"I'll take you to the exchange, although you can't exchange the skill cards and items there for the time being, but the exchange can apply for vacant rooms, and then I'll take you to the mission center to find out how to pick up the mission, in the future It's up to you." Su He got up and settled the bill, and said to the three of them.

"Are you leaving?" Xue Yingying immediately became uneasy when she heard the meaning in his tone.

Qi Leren was also apprehensive, and looked at Su He apprehensively.

"I have to go back to the Land of Dawn in a few days. You can't go there for the time being. If you want to stay in the Land of Dawn, you have to complete a series of tasks and challenges, so most of the people living there are NPCs." Su Heling As the three walked out of the restaurant, the Sunset Island bathed in the sunset seemed to be a fantastic dream, where all absurd imaginations would happen.

"I will rest for two days in the Land of Dusk, and then return. I hope to see you in the Land of Dawn one day. I believe that day will come." Under the setting sun, Su He's slender and tall figure was stretched infinitely, leaving behind The next unforgettable back.

With the help of Su He, the three settled down in the Land of Dusk. Although the residences they drew were scattered in different parts of Sunset Island, since the entire Sunset Island was not large, it was very convenient to travel.

The house that Qi Le people had drawn from the exchange was on the west bank of Sunset Island, which was very close to the hostel where Su He temporarily stayed, so he was finally led by Su He to recognize the way, and Su He said to him kindly before parting. After saying good night, Qi Leren was left alone in front of the house shaped like a hobbit.

Qi Leren stood in front of the house and pondered for a while, and opened his own home with the key.

The previous owner of this house should have been quite a lazy person. This can be seen from the messy environment in the house. Because it is unkind to slander a deceased person, Qi Leren still controlled himself and forced himself to be groggy because of exhaustion. brain, and cleaned up the bedroom.

The flowers on the window sill of the bedroom had long since died, and a thick layer of ash had accumulated on the bed. Qi Leren rolled up the bed and threw it on the ground, stirring up dust in the room, causing him to cough.

In the closet, I found a fairly clean bed and quilt. Qi Leren, who was fighting with his eyelids, couldn't take care of that much. He took a quick shower after nearly 24 hours without enough sleep, and then fell down on the bed. , fell into sleep almost immediately.

This sleep was very sweet, so deep that he didn't even bother to dream. When Qi Leren woke up, there was still a heavy sunset outside the window. He couldn't figure out where he was for a while. After lying down for a while, he remembered that this was no longer his home.

He was in a dangerous world, and every minute he spent was burning his own life.

He subconsciously looked at his remaining time: 9 days, 7 hours, 28 minutes.

The joy of a good night's sleep swept back to the bottom of the valley, Qi Leren scratched his hair, sat up reluctantly, and began to clear his mind.

The staff of the exchange were very dedicated, and although the three of them could not afford any cards at all, they were still warmly served, and he told them that all the houses here were allocated according to their needs, and each newcomer It can be randomly assigned to a place to stay, and it will not be taken away until he dies and transferred to the next newcomer. If you have special needs for the house, you can also exchange it through transactions.

Not just houses, any food, weapons, skill cards, and item cards can be traded with each other. This kind of transaction is strictly controlled. If you snatch other people's things in the name of "trading", you will definitely be punished. Such a deal is also impossible.

Just like when Su He invited them to dinner last night, what he paid for was not money, but time. Qi Le people remembered that he paid for a total of 6 hours and 17 minutes, and paid directly after signing. Because the restaurant is operated legally, so Transaction established. But like the two robbers on the airship, they used a "contract" to trade other people's survival days, which is obviously an impossible transaction, but they were able to illegally obtain the survival days of other players by virtue of the demon contract. very dangerous.

Qi Leren pulled out a notebook left by the owner, and sat on the bed to record the plot of "Nightmare Game" he had played.

The background is exactly the same. When he was playing the game, he quickly found a path that was suspected to be the main line, and went to the Holy See, which was captured twenty-two years ago, and then got the first and last BE ending there. But before that, he still did a lot of side quests in the nightmare world.

If the nightmare world is exactly the same as the game, maybe these side quests can also be triggered. Yesterday, Su Hecai told them that the "missions" here do include the tasks of the nightmare world and the tasks that need to go to other dungeons, and the tasks in the nightmare game can directly change the world process - the legend of three years The first three demon kings opened the passage to the human world again, and among them was the shadow of the player.

At present, the people of Qi Le don't dare to think so far. His top priority now is to take a simple task and earn more days to survive, so that he can survive in this world, and then slowly try to leave.

After scribbling down the plots he played, Qi Leren put away the paper and pen, and once again lay on the bed and pondered.

They asked Su He last night why they were selected for this game and what its selection criteria were.

When he asked this question, Qi Leren was very nervous in his heart. He was worried that it was because he had played "Nightmare Game" that he entered here, and even Dr. Lu, Xue Yingying and even those who died were also involved. Into the game, he has always had a vague feeling of guilt.

"It's another difficult question to answer." Su He smiled and shook his head, "Actually, we don't know why we were selected, but from the perspective of the players who have entered the game, most of them are young, promising and accepting. The type with strong ability, and they enter in batches. That is to say, at a certain time, a certain place will become a novice village, just like the hospital you stayed in, some people in the hospital at that time will be selected, Entering the Li World Hospital, which has become a novice village, from now on, you will become a player who reincarnates in the nightmare world. From the current point of view, places with high traffic such as schools, hospitals, stations, and shopping malls are particularly likely to become 'novice villages'."

"What about our bodies? Did we enter the game together, or did we stay outside? What entered here is just a string of data?" As a doctor, Dr. Lu paid more attention to this issue.

Su He shook his head again: "Sorry, I don't know this question either. In the future, you will see all kinds of bizarre skills, some of which can even turn the world upside down and come back to life. When you have witnessed such a miracle, your heart will naturally feel There is judgment, as for whether it is right or wrong, does it make sense to those who are struggling to survive here?"

The conversation that night gave the three newcomers a deeper understanding of their situation. The ubiquitous pressure and suffocation generally shrouded everyone's head, which was extremely depressing.

Qi Leren still doesn't know whether he is the only player who has played "Nightmare Game". He is not sure, and he dares not rashly ask for confirmation. Even if it is Su He, who he trusts, he does not dare to reveal the slightest bit. Besides, Su He will be leaving soon...

Although the time we spent together was short, Su He had already left a deep impression on him. His mystery, his calmness, and his wisdom were all based on his great strength. Such a person was willing to serve him once He was already very grateful for helping them (or the one they didn't need at all) and staying to help them guide them, and he was too embarrassed to ask for more.

Like Su He said, they will definitely meet again.

I hope that one day, he has become a person as strong as him.

There was not much time left for Qi Leren to sigh with emotion. He quickly cheered up and cleaned the house. Although he is not very good at housework, living alone all year round has made him develop a quick cleaning method.

After finally tidying up the house, Qi Leren's stomach is already growling with hunger, and there are still some food left by the previous owner in the kitchen - it has become moldy to the point of being poisoned at a glance.

Qi Leren had no choice but to go out for food, and stop by the quest office to see if there were any quests suitable for a novice like him. It would be better if the rewards were richer.

Walking out of the house, the sunset island in the twilight is still picturesque. Qile people breathe the air mixed with the smell of sea breeze and engine oil. The humming machine sound is a symbol of civilization here, and it is also the power of human survival.

And he will live here too!

"Gululu..." The empty stomach made a protest sound, which caused a psychological blow to the ambitious Qi Le people. He reluctantly touched his flat belly: I'm so hungry, let's eat something first .
