Chapter 59: Deadly Road Friendly Match

The yin energy in the new map is indeed very heavy. Although the weather is neither cold nor hot, the almost tangible coldness seems to penetrate deep into the bone marrow and permeate into the moving vehicles along with the darkness.

In this environment, even vehicles on narrow lanes become cautious, and players can feel that their vision is greatly restricted as long as they drive.

Gao Chengcheng shuddered and closed the window tightly.

"Sister Qiao Song, why are you so far away from us?"

After entering the new map, each car seemed to enter a separate lane. Gao Chengcheng heard her brother tell her that all the players seemed to be separated.

The dog's nose with built-in radar determined that Qiao Song was now at least several thousand meters away from them, not in front and behind, but horizontally.

Qiao Song's voice came from the other end of the microphone: "This map may show a scene of a hundred demons parading at night. Do you have enough defenses?"

Gao Chengcheng immediately said, "Don't worry, I still have three lightning strike cards in stock."

Her car is directly tied to her personal ability, so it was not difficult for her to get this prop card in the Falling Thunder Plains before. If Gao Chengcheng didn't think the name sounded bad, she would have wanted to tell Qiao Song directly that it was okay to call her King Gou.

Although her ice cream skills are mostly support related, her brother is a vicious dog.

The dog brother in the passenger seat suddenly spoke up: "Slow down a little, this road is not right."

The Doberman had a serious expression and his back was straight as he sat upright in the passenger seat.

The dog's ears stood up and Gao Bin looked around. Even without using his nose, he could feel that the things hidden in the darkness in the surrounding environment were secretly spying on the car.

Compared to the dim street lights above, the lights of the ice cream truck seemed much brighter, but the light that could originally illuminate a large distance was compressed into a very small range, as if the darkness of this road could not be easily illuminated.

"Brother, please don't scare me. It makes me feel creepy. I never had this feeling when I saw ghosts in other dungeons before..."

After Gao Chengcheng finished muttering, the car just passed a street lamp. The view went completely dark and then gradually brightened up.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but I always felt that this road was dark and cold. Gao Chengcheng couldn’t help but shiver while sitting in the car.

It's not because of fear, but a purely physiological reaction.

She gathered her attention and drove forward, continuing to ask in the call channel: "Sister Qiao Song, what did you mean by letting me have a chance to capture a few ghosts alive? Don't let them surrender?"

Qiao Song's voice now sounded a little farther away; I wonder if it was due to the signal.

"Well, after the ghosts who participate in the competition leave the car, as long as they don't take the initiative to say they want to quit the competition, they will stay in the copy."

As if he had considered some other situations, Qiao Song's voice slowly sounded again on the phone.

"If you encounter local ghosts on this map, you can try to catch a few. There should be a lot of local ghosts on this map."

When a hundred ghosts parade at night, it is certain that not only the ghosts participating in the competition will appear.

Catching ghosts and interrogating them for information?

It was the first time that Gao Chengcheng heard of this practice.

If it were the case in the past, she would probably just drive forward honestly, and after getting into the top 10, she would leave the dungeon and run away, instead of exploring what secrets were hidden behind this dungeon like she is doing now.

But it was so much fun to go through the dungeon with her sister Qiao Song, so Gao Chengcheng was quite happy about it. Since her brother didn't stop her, it meant that the choice she made was not wrong.

"Sister Qiao, do you want to go to the terminal?"

Qiao Song hummed.

Sitting in the repaired dinosaur car, she could smell a faint scent from the cleaned interior. She didn't know if it was because of a so-called cleaning card used at the repair station.

Now the entire car has been completely restored, and because of the cleaning and disinfection cards, the body of the car is shiny and glossy, as if it had been waxed.

But in this pitch-black environment, there was still a bone-chilling chill, as if it could penetrate through the car window and directly into her skin.

In fact, even if she had not obtained any information from the boy and girl before, she would have been extremely vigilant when entering this map.

Because this new map provides too few background conditions, every time players enter a map, they will get a background introduction about the map. Although some of them are obviously traps, at least some clues can be found.

And after they entered the Eternal Night Town, there were no clues.

The only explanation is -

[You can park and get off in Evernight Town, but please note that you can only choose to enter the maintenance station to rest after staying in this map for 12 hours. ]

Qiao Song felt that this one point alone was subtle enough.

Since it says that you can park and get off the car, it means that in this map, there will definitely be situations where players have to park.

Normally, the microphone might come out to make its presence felt, announcing the current number of remaining players in the entire map in a loud voice. However, since entering this new map, the entire world is just black and that small area under the lights. It seems that even the host has no interest in coming in to report.

The current number of players remaining is directly displayed on the center console.

[Currently remaining human players: 69 vehicles]

[Participating Ghosts: 45 cars]

Instead of broadcasting the specific number of people and the specific number of ghosts, only the vehicles were broadcast, and people could get off in the middle of the journey. Qiao Song had a strange guess.

This is the first time that so many buildings have appeared on the map. Various tall and short buildings are lined on both sides of the dark road. There are no signs, no logos, and no door numbers.

She squinted her eyes and stared ahead, but she didn't see anything strange in the darkness. Instead, she heard a strange rustling sound of electricity coming from the receiver that was on speaker.

Qiao Song frowned: "Chencheng?"

There was no answer from the other end, but the rustling sound of electricity became louder and louder. At a certain moment, her mobile phone screen suddenly lit up, then quickly went dark again. This time, Gao Chengcheng's voice finally sounded.

"Sister Qiao Song, where are you? My brother and I are planning to take a break. We just found a very important clue. Should we find a place to meet up first? There is an intersection over here with a big hotel. We can get off there."

Hotel?

Since entering the new map, the players have been driving in this map for about 10 minutes, and have found nothing around except dark, old and dilapidated buildings.

Qiao Song raised his eyebrows slightly: "Did you find any clues?"

Gao Chengcheng paused and said in a very mysterious tone: "We found a door! Maybe it's the one that leads back to the real world!"

Qiao Song: ...

"Really? The boss told us when we passed by the inn just now. It is said that many players have already stopped in the inn. Why don't we go there earlier? If more and more people come, what will we do if we can't rob them?"

Qiao Song listened to the hoarse voice on the phone continuing to persuade her, and she glanced at the screen that was already emitting black air.

"Actually, if you told me you found a bunch of ghosts partying, I might be more interested."

Phone tone: “?”

Qiao Song grabbed the steering wheel with one hand, quickly took out a hammer from the toolbox, and smashed it at her phone screen without hesitation.

As a result, the black smoke coming out of the phone dissipated very quickly, and the hammer slid across the surface of the phone and hit the back of the passenger seat.

Qiao Song sighed and ran quite fast.

It was indeed the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons dungeon. Not long after entering the dungeon, a ghost actually dared to directly invade her car.

It can imitate voices, intonations of speech, and know a small amount of intelligence on both sides. It seems that this ghost information system is doing quite well.

Since Qiao Song could encounter ghosts, Gao Chengcheng would probably encounter ghosts as well. However, she believed that they should have corresponding solutions.

A few minutes later, Qiao Song's phone screen lit up again. It was Gao Chengcheng calling again.

She clicked the connection button, and this time there was no strange electric sound. The girl's voice was a little flustered: "Sister Qiao Song, are you okay? I seemed to have run into a ghost just now. That guy imitated your voice and tried to trick me, but luckily he was found out!"

Qiao Song hummed: "Where are you driving to now?"

Gao Chengcheng paused, as if thinking: "It's still pitch black, but there seems to be a lighted building ahead, a hotel with lanterns hanging."

Then she stopped talking and seemed a little hesitant.

Qiao Song said sympathetically, "Maybe you want to go to the hotel to look for clues, but you don't dare to go there yourself."

The person on the other end of the phone evaded the call: "No, no, I can ask my brother to go with me, and then we can share clues with each other."

Qiao Song interrupted her immediately: "It doesn't matter, I'll go too, it should be just ahead anyway."

In the pitch-dark environment, only the old light bulbs that were far apart could barely illuminate the small space under the street lights. But after Qiao Song agreed to Gao Chengcheng, a bright building with lanterns hanging on it appeared at the end of the road ahead.

"The hotel you're talking about has a big red lantern hanging on it, and a colorful electronic sign at the door that says 'Bright Inn'?"

"Yes, yes, yes, my brother and I have already parked the car and come in. Sister Qiao Song, please come with us."

Qiao Song hummed and took out a few prop cards from the center console.

When resting at the maintenance station, you can replace the prop cards you used before. Her defensive bubble film has been used up. Currently, the three fixed card slots in the card slot are filled with ghost puppet silk, ghost cloak and an empty card slot.

She doesn't have many item cards, and she reserves a card slot so that she can add a particularly useful card at any time. Although this copy requires players to use only three item cards, her toolbox has a storage function, and she can create a new item card at any time.

After taking away two prop cards, she grabbed all the remaining lightning strike cards in the car, thought for a while, and left one on the passenger seat.

Then he manipulated the puppet strings to release the water ghost that could drive, and threw Qiao Song's cell phone, which had just been hung up, directly into the toolbox to prevent any strange things from contacting him through it.

"Watch the car. I know you have recovered a lot of your sanity now. If you don't want to be a puppet forever, then work hard. Otherwise, once the thunder goes down, you won't even have the chance to be a tool."

The diver who was sitting on the lightning card in the passenger seat finally no longer had a dazed expression. He glanced at his severed hand and nodded woodenly, looking as if he was about to cry.

The car slowed down gradually, and the hotel in front of him was getting closer and closer. Qiao Song followed an arrow near the gate and drove directly to the open space next to the hotel.

The air around them became colder and colder, and something seemed to be whispering in the darkness, but Qiao Song pretended not to hear anything, just like she pretended not to notice on the phone before, as if the person who called her the second time to trick her into parking the car was also a ghost.

"I've already told you that if you had told me earlier that there were a lot of ghosts in the yard, I would have come down without even having to lie to me."

She muttered to herself, dragging the sledgehammer and walked into the unknown building with red lanterns hanging.

Ten minutes later, there were several loud bangs like demolition work, followed by the sound of walls being smashed, followed by a few shrill screams.

Dong dong dong, heavy footsteps slowly approached, and a huge white net bag was thrown in the middle of the yard.

There were several ghosts inside whose faces had been disfigured by being smashed.

Before Qiao Song opened his mouth to ask anything, he suddenly saw this dark world. Not far away, a bolt of lightning suddenly rose into the sky, followed by the rumbling sound of lightning a few seconds later.

"What's the speed of light? Never mind. It's not far away anyway."

Some players must have started using lightning strike cards when encountering ghosts, but using this kind of attack card in such a dark world would be very conspicuous.

After she finished talking to herself, she asked again while holding the plump white ghost in front of her with a hammer.

"Tell me, how long have you been in this map, what is the mission, and why did you trick us into stopping the car?"

The ghost that was knocked down by the hammer seemed a little unconvinced.

He looks like a giant silkworm, with very few human-like features on his body. His limbs are very short, his head is fat and round, and his facial features and mouth cannot be seen. However, he can easily imitate the voices of other humans.

When Qiao Song went up, this guy wanted to play hide-and-seek with her and led her deeper into the building, but he was directly knocked out by a hammer that broke through the wall.

"So what if I don't say anything? You are just relying on the special properties of your hammer. You will only suffer a little physical pain. Since you can't beat us to death, wait until I recover..."

Then he saw the n lightning strike cards slowly unfolding like a fan.

"My time is precious. I'm too lazy to use the lightning card because I can beat you up without it. Either you confess directly, or I will strike you to ashes. Choose one?"

The fat and pale ghost whose facial features could not be seen clearly looked at the nearly ten lightning strike cards and silently changed his posture. This time, he seemed to be kneeling in a much more standard manner.
