Skull Kingdom

【Welcome to the Skull Kingdom】

[Task: Break the Skeleton Undead Curse or Survive for Seven Days]

【Number of people: 20】

In the dark and silent dense forest, the trees blocked out the sun and not even a ray of light could penetrate.

The ground was covered with fallen leaves, layer upon layer. When you stepped on them, they made a rustling sound. Besides being soft, there was a strange touch that was hard to describe.

"1, 2, 3, 4..." A male player counted the numbers. When he counted himself, he frowned and said, "5."

Including him, there were only five of us.

These five people, three men and two women, are between 20 and 25 years old, very young.

The male player who counted the number of players was named Zhou Lu. After counting the number of players, he looked serious and said: "Strange, didn't they say there were 20 people? Why are there only five of us?"

Another female player with short hair said: "Could it be that they were teleported in batches?"

Zhou Lu: "They should have been teleported to different places. 20 people, probably in groups of 5."

This player named Zhou Lu is an old player and a member of the Deep Sea Club, one of the two major clubs.

He looked at the other players who were confused and bewildered, and knew that these four players were all novices.

We had just entered the dungeon, the situation was unclear, and we didn’t know each other, so there was nothing much to say.

Everyone walked forward in silence again.

But none of them noticed that behind them, there was a forgotten little ball.

Gu Lin tilted his little head, tapped his fingers and counted, twice.

Hey, it’s not five, it’s six.

How come they are so old but still can't count?

The little boy shook his head like a little adult, and instantly felt proud of himself for knowing the number ten.

As soon as he entered the game, Su Qiao and Song Ran disappeared. Gu Lin saw a few strangers, whom he didn't recognize, and he remained quiet without making any sound.

Seeing the five players walking forward, Gu Lin grabbed the shoulder straps of the Ultraman backpack, stretched out his short legs, and stumbled after them.

The aunt in the live broadcast room had been waiting for a long time and was almost laughing to the point of splitting her legs.

[Hahahahahahahaha help me, why is it that every time I enter a dungeon, no one sees the cub?]

[Hahahahahahahaha, the cub is too small. Players who have just entered the dungeon don’t dare to look around. They probably didn’t notice that there is a little ball at its feet.]

[It’s so funny, the kid even counted on his fingers. Kid, it’s not that I don’t know how to count, it’s that my eyesight is not good.]

[Ahhhhhh, baby, auntie kisses you wildly. My family, let’s get ready for baby!! [Reward points x100]]

[Baby, fly bravely, auntie will always be with you! [Reward points x100]]

【Reward points x100】

…

The light was dim and the visibility was not very good, so I could only see the hazy shadows of the trees.

After walking for ten minutes, I was still not out of the dense forest and the only sound I could hear was the sound of fallen leaves under my feet.

Several players' hearts were beating fast, their nerves were on edge, fear was slowly building up, and they didn't dare to look around.

The girl with short hair seemed to be very outgoing and talkative. She poked Zhou Lu, who was walking in the front, and said, "Hey, handsome guy, isn't the name of our dungeon called Skeleton Kingdom? Why are we in the primeval forest?"

This place really does look like a primeval forest, with a dead and depressing atmosphere that makes people feel creepy.

But no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with skeletons or kingdoms.

Zhou Lu looked back at her and was about to answer when his face froze. He slowly lowered his head and saw a skull lying at his feet.

When Zhou Lu saw the skull, he was startled at first, but soon realized that it was just an ordinary skull, lying quietly among the dead leaves, most of it buried by the leaves.

Zhou Lu's expression eased a little, he took a breath, pointed at his feet and said: "Look, isn't this a skeleton!"

The other four players all looked down and saw the skull at Zhou Lu's feet. Their faces changed immediately.

After all, he is a novice player.

Zhou Lu smiled inwardly.

Not sure if he wanted to be a hero or show off, but Zhou Lu raised his foot and wanted to kick the skull as if it were a ball, preferably with a single kick that could hit the tree.

Unexpectedly, just at this moment, when Zhou Lu was about to step on it, he let out a scream, his face distorted and a look of pain appeared.

The other players were shocked.

It turned out that the skeleton was not a dead thing, but a living thing. It opened its mouth, aimed at Zhou Lu's kicking foot, and bit it.

Zhou Lu screamed in pain, and his screams echoed in the dense forest.

The skull's teeth embedded into Zhou Lu's instep. The skull rolled its eyes and uttered a puzzled sound: "......Hmm"

The skull opened its mouth again, and most of its teeth fell into Zhou Lu's instep. In the empty mouth of the skull, new teeth grew out instantly, this time they were sharper and longer.

The skull aimed at Zhou Lu's foot and bit it again with greater force, as if it wanted to bite off the instep of the player who dared to step on his head.

Zhou Lu was no longer as calm as before. He let out a shrill scream and pulled his feet hard.

But the bite force of the skull was so strong that it could not be pulled back.

You can retract your legs, but forget about it, your feet will be bitten off.

Zhou Lu reached out to others: "Save me, save me..."

The other players were so frightened by this sudden change that their faces changed drastically and they retreated one after another.

I thought it was just a dead thing, but it actually bites people.

Some people were so scared that they burst into tears and shouted: "What should I do? What should I do? Think of a solution quickly!"

"Oh my god, how come this skeleton is still alive!"

Other players were entering the game for the first time and were panicked, not knowing what to do.

However, at this moment, a small hand patted the bald head of the skull, and a baby voice suddenly sounded: "The feet are smelly, don't eat them."

Skeleton: "..."

Zhou Lu: “…”

Player: "..."

Oh shit, there's another kid here!

When they suddenly saw a child suddenly appear, a lively and talking child, the other four players, except Zhou Lu, were more frightened than seeing a skeleton.

They looked at the child who looked like a porcelain doll but had fair and tender skin and looked more like a ghost doll. They were so scared that their faces turned pale and they stepped back two meters.

Gu Lin was wearing overalls and carrying an Ultraman backpack. He was very small and squatted next to the skull. His little hands were chubby and had dimples. He was not afraid of a biting skull and even dared to pat the skull on the head.

Before I even stepped on it, my foot was almost bitten off. This little hand hit the top of my head. Can I still save it?

As soon as Zhou Lu saw Gu Lin, who was so small, he immediately realized that this was the little player on the popular forum.

But now, he obviously can't care about the small players.

The skeleton opened its mouth when Gu Lin patted its head.

Zhou Lu quickly withdrew his foot.

In order to save his foot, Zhou Lu retreated far away, his face pale with fear.

Five players... no, six players, four novices and a little kid who was less than two years old and had only entered one dungeon. He, an old player who considered himself experienced, was the first to be injured.

If it weren't for this little player, one of his legs would have been crippled!

Zhou Lu immediately exchanged the healing spray from the system store and sprayed it on his drooping injured foot.

The products in the system mall are amazingly effective and the results are immediate. My foot, which was just about to fall off with only the tendons attached, healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhou Lu had just recovered from the shock and tried to calm himself down. He saw that the other four players were hiding far away and could tell what they were thinking.

Zhou Lu: "Don't be afraid, this is a little player in the game, not a ghost doll."

Seeing that he was mistaken for a ghost doll again, Gu Lin squatted on the ground, looking a little aggrieved.

She explained in a tender voice: "Zizi is not a ghost doll, Zizi is..."

He couldn't say that he was a lucky beast cub, so he imitated Zhou Lu and said, "Little player."

Other players: “…”

The game actually has such a small player

One of the players looked at Gu Lin carefully and exclaimed:

"Damn, she's so cute, damn!"

“…”

Gu Lin was still squatting next to the skull, his little hands touching the skull.

The players were in mixed emotions and their expressions were indescribable.

Zhou Lu remembered that he hadn't thanked Gu Lin yet, so he didn't dare get too close to the skull, so he thanked Gu Lin from a distance: "Thank you for saving me just now."

Gu Lin tilted his head in confusion: "When will I save you?"

Zhou Lu: “…”

Could it be that... this kid just meant it literally, saying his feet smelled and he didn't want the skeleton to bite his feet?

Zhou Lu: “…………”

At this time, a gust of cold wind blew, blowing away the fallen leaves on the ground, and underneath the fallen leaves, there were fucking skulls.

Players: “…………”

That's how they came here just now, stepping on skulls!

Everyone's faces looked even uglier. Before they could even startle, they saw the skeleton that had bitten someone's instep just now suddenly rise from the ground.

The bones made a series of "crunching" sounds, and in the blink of an eye they turned into a complete skeleton.

The players were stunned. The scene before them was thrilling and cool, just like the special effects in a blockbuster movie. Seeing it with one’s own eyes gave one goosebumps.

Until that baby voice rang out: "Transformers!"

With a "crack", the skeleton's old waist broke.

Skeleton: “…………”

Player: “…………”

[Hahahahahah shit, bastard, you are worthy of it!!]

[Hahahaha, my waist is broken, I’m out of shape]

[Pat the skull and whatnot, it's so cute, this skeleton NPC was also made speechless by the baby hahahaha]

[You are indeed my aunt’s good boy, aunt’s kiss! [Reward points x100]]

After the skeleton's waist was broken by Gu Lin's words, it quickly grew back together.

It lowered its head, pointed at the little ball in front of it with its slender finger bones, and smiled, making a normal human voice: "What are you and why are you so small?"

This is a horror game, so it's not surprising that skeletons can speak.

But when they heard it speak, several players' faces changed, and they felt their exposed necks and arms were cold.

The skeleton speaks in a very old voice and seems to be very old.

Gu Lin was not afraid. He looked up and stared at the skull: "I am a child."

The skeleton turned his head stiffly and said: "Child"

Gu Lin nodded and looked at the skeleton in front of him curiously.

He had seen it in a picture book and knew it was called a skeleton.

The skeleton exclaimed "Ah" and looked at Gu Lin carefully, only to find that this was really a child.

Skeleton: "I haven't seen a child in a long time. The last time I saw one..."

It thought for a long time, but it was too long ago and it couldn't remember, "It was last time."

Player: "..."

Fuck, you understand nonsense literature!

The skeleton glanced at the other five players, then looked at the cub Gu Lin, and said: "I can help you lead the way. After all, you dug me out of the skull mound."

Player: "..."

Skull Mound

Is this dense forest a graveyard of skeletons?

But have they dug it? No!

Several players were confused.

And this skeleton has turned around first and is leading the way.

Gu Lin had short legs and couldn’t walk fast, so he could only jog to keep up with the main group.

After walking for a while, the skeleton leading the way stopped.

The players behind him also stopped.

The skeleton turned around, looked at the cub that was at the back, and said, "Little baby, your legs are too short and you walk too slowly. You'd better sit on my arms."

Other players: ""

Is this sitable?

When Gu Lin heard this, he nodded his head wildly and ran over immediately.

Looking at the skeleton's skeleton, Gu Lin ran over, grabbed the skeleton's leg bones, and climbed up like climbing a tree, trying to climb up.

Skeleton: "..."

After a moment of hesitation, the skeleton stretched out a long finger bone, picked up the cub, and easily put it on his arm like picking up a kitten.

The skeleton's arm was horizontal, carrying Gu Lin steadily and continuing to move forward.

The other players took a deep breath and followed immediately.

Along the way, there were skulls everywhere, and wherever the skull went, the skulls in front of it would automatically roll to the sides, leaving a small path that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

The players were terrified and followed closely behind, afraid of being left behind.

After they left, the skulls rolled to the sides and then rolled back to their original positions and lay down.

*

With a skeleton leading the way, everyone soon passed through the dense forest and came to a skeleton-shaped house.

There are skull flowers planted all around the house.

The overall shape of this house is a skull, and the details that make up the house are also small skulls, densely packed together. Most of them have their eyes closed, but some of them have their eyes rolling around.

There were actually two skeletons arguing.

One said: "Stop squeezing me, it's killing me!"

Another said: "I didn't squeeze you, you squeezed me, don't let the bad guys complain first!"

Previous: "If you squeeze me or frame me, I will bite you!"

Another said: "Come on, come on, act like you don't have a mouth! Do you think I can talk back?"

The person next to him was woken up by the noise: "It's too noisy, too noisy, stop making noise, shut up, I still want to sleep!"

Players:

You guys are serious

The forest is so big that there are all kinds of skeletons.

At this time, many people walked out of the Skeleton House. It was a huge crowd, all of them were humans. If you counted carefully, there were fourteen of them.

Including the five of them and their child, there are exactly twenty people.

These are probably all gamers.

Seeing these people, several players knew that this skeleton road was the right one.

As for the players who walked out of the house, their eyes instantly fell on the human cub that was blatantly sitting on the skeleton's arm, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

How did he sit on someone's skeleton's arm? How did he do that?

I saw the little cub, his two short legs still dangling in the air, holding a colorful windmill candy in his hand. He took a bite and bit off one, eating it happily.

“…………”

Awesome!

*

Song Ran and Su Qiao arrived early, they came together.

Seeing Gu Lin, Su Qiao almost cried with joy: "Tuanzi!"

As soon as he entered the copy, he found that the two adults were there, but the child was missing. Su Qiao was almost scared to death.

Seeing that Gu Lin was safe and sound, Song Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry that had been hanging in his heart finally settled down.

Gu Lin's short legs swung even more happily: "Sister, Uncle Song Ran."

Then, he saw something and his eyes lit up. He waved to the person at the back of the crowd, who was lazily leaning against the skull wall: "Brother Mao Mao!"

Double Hat Boss: "."

The double-hat guy is still wearing the same outfit, a black hooded sweatshirt with the hat on his head and a black baseball cap underneath the hat. He looks a bit lifeless.

Although the boss is very low-key, his aura is so strong and his presence is so strong that it is impossible to ignore him.

As soon as Brother Mao Mao said this, everyone else turned to look at the boss, then looked away fearfully.

The skeleton dropped the cub from his arms onto the ground.

As soon as he landed, Gu Lin ran towards Su Qiao and the others, his whole body filled with joy.

The childish and joyful temperament of this little cub is difficult to imitate, and one can tell at a glance that it is the real thing, and definitely not a ghost in disguise.

This is the first time that I can be so happy in a horror game!

The skeleton dropped the player off and then turned and left.

After the skeleton left, all the players walked into the skeleton house.

The quarreling skulls stopped quarreling when they saw Gu Lin. When Gu Lin passed by, they were still shouting: "Fat baby, fat baby..."

These skeletons were squeezed underneath, causing them to quarrel. Gu Lin’s height was just enough to see them, and he patted their heads one by one with his little hands.

Several skulls were grinning with joy, making them look even more terrifying.

His action was seen by other players, and they all changed their expressions in fear.

This little cub... is very courageous!

How dare you pat the skull with your bare hands!

Among the 20 people, half were old players and had heard of Gu Lin’s name, but they still gasped when they saw him.

As for those new players, needless to say, they haven’t even been digested yet, so how could there be such a small player?

*

The Skeleton House is also very large, and the benches and tables all have skull elements, and the tables are also carved with butterfly and rose patterns.

Zhou Lu is from the Deep Sea Society. Four of these players are members of the Deep Sea Society. He stands together with the other three players.

Among the three players, one of them looked to be around 40 years old, a middle-aged male player with a serious face, giving people a feeling of being picky and arrogant.

The other two were female players, both around 20 years old, very pretty and beautiful. They looked almost exactly the same, even their height and figure were not much different. However, their dress was so different that they could be distinguished at a glance.

A man dressed modestly, with a gentle and kind smile on his face, looking easy to get along with.

The other one had colorful twin ponytails and wore a tank top and tight shorts, which outlined her curvy figure. She had bright makeup on her face and was chewing gum with a look of disdain.

Zhou Lu's foot has healed completely thanks to the healing spray. He told the story of how he almost had his foot bitten off by a skeleton and was rescued by Gu Lin.

When the three players heard this, they were all silent.

Then, the girl with the pigtails sneered, blew a bubble and said: "Then you are pretty useless."

Zhou Lu blushed and retorted: "A piece of trash is ranked higher than you!"

Twintails: "You're older than me."

Zhou Lu: “…”

Oh shit.

The girl with twin ponytails is called Ling Xing, and the other girl is her twin sister, Ling Yue.

Ling Yue's temper improved a lot. She smiled gently and comforted Zhou Lu: "It's good that you're alright. Ah Xing, you should also say less. Uncle Quan is still here."

Uncle Quan is the forty-year-old middle-aged male player.

Lu Quanming snorted coldly: "The club asked you to come here just to quarrel and bicker, so you might as well go back and quarrel instead of embarrassing yourself here."

Ling Xing rolled his eyes, continued chewing gum and stopped talking.

The four members of the deep-sea society all fixed their eyes on the human cub not far away.

That's right, their club sent four capable men just to snatch the baby!

They had already expected that they couldn't snatch the baby away in the game hall. It was wishful thinking to kidnap a little kid like this without building a relationship with her in advance.

So, they, men, women, young and old, all went into battle, preparing to launch an offensive against the little cub and make him join their club willingly.

On the other side, Gu Lin was sitting on a small skeleton stool, and the snack in his hand had changed to Oreo cookies.

Su Qiao and Song Ran sat next to him and watched him eat. The man in the double-layer hat leaned lazily on the table next to him.

Next to the three people and the baby, there are two more people - Wu Jin and Wu Lan who followed them into the game.

What a coincidence, they, like the four members of the Deep Sea Society, also came to snatch the baby.

In the game hall, after failing to grab the item, they realized that they had to build a relationship with the cub first.

Wu Jin and Wu Lan looked at the four members of the deep sea society. They all knew each other and their expressions were somewhat solemn.

I thought the Deep Sea Society had no interest in this kid, but I didn’t expect them to be waiting here.

The four members of the Deep Sea Society looked at the Starry Sky Society and saw that they had sent out these two people. They raised their eyebrows provocatively at Wu Jin and Wu Lan.

Ling Xing also gave them the middle finger.

The two societies have always been at odds with each other, and Wu Jin and Wu Lan's faces darkened.

Song Ran noticed the gazes of the four people and couldn't help but sigh: "Are those four people human traffickers? Why are they staring at this little kid?"

Su Qiao took a look and calmly placed Gu Lin behind him, blocking the group of people's sight.

The four people couldn't see Gu Lin and turned their gaze away.

The double hat guy just raised an eyebrow.

Wu Jin briefly explained to them: "They are from the Deep Sea Society, and they probably want this kid to join their society."

Song Ran was stunned for a moment, looked at the four people over there, then looked at Wu Jin and Wu Lan, and said: "Just say that you won't join your club, right? See their sincerity, then see yours."

Wu Jin and Wu Lan: "..."

*

Let’s put aside the issue of whether to snatch the baby or not. The most important thing now is to complete the task.

The game mission is to break the skeleton's undead curse or survive for seven days.

From this perspective, this should be a team battle. As long as one player breaks the skeleton curse, everyone can pass the level.

Suddenly, the room was filled with the sound of warm greetings, and people were trying to get closer to each other.

Since it is a team battle, these twenty people are a whole and naturally they should love each other.

This temporary small group, brought together by Gu Lin, was indifferent.

Wu Jin said: “I don’t think it’s that simple.”

Wu Lan: “I think so too.”

Song Ran said: "The difficulty rating of the dungeon will only be displayed after you complete it. It's like opening a blind box. You don't know the difficulty at all."

At this time, the player named Zhou Lu walked over here with something in his hand.

Several people's eyes fell on him.

Zhou Lu walked closer under the gaze, feeling a little nervous.

He looked at Gu Lin and handed over the item in his hand: "Thank you for saving me just now. This is the item I got in the last dungeon. If you don't mind, please accept it as a toy."

Then he quickly added: "My name is Zhou Lu, Lu from Passerby A. In this dungeon, if you need anything, I will do my best to help you. If you can pass it, I will give you 50% of the points I earn."

Others: “…”

Why does this sound vaguely familiar?

Everyone was a little surprised.

Not only was this little cub alone with his parents, he also managed to save someone.

Gu Lin saw that Zhou Lu handed over a toy kitten, which was about the same size as his hand. He took it with his little hand and said sweetly: "Thank you, Brother Passerby A."

Zhou Lu: “…”

Others: “…”

puff!

I just want to tell you why you have to give such an introduction. Why not just make the word "路" a better word? Why not make it a passerby?

After Zhou Lu left, Su Qiao sat next to Gu Lin, wiped the biscuit crumbs off his chin, and said: "Tuanzi, why did you save him?"

The others also turned their attention, even the double-hatted boss looked over.

Gu Lin chattered on and on about how Zhou Lu's foot was bitten by the skull and he patted the skull's head.

Gu Lin concluded: "Zizi didn't save him."

Everyone: “…”

Gu Lin was young and didn’t understand. If he hadn’t patted the skull’s head at the critical moment, Zhou Lu’s foot would have been crippled.

No wonder after giving away the props, he promised to give points, all in exchange for a foot.

Song Ran: "How did you get here on the skeleton arm? Where were you teleported to?"

Gu Lin: "The baby's legs are too short, so he can't walk fast."

He thought about where he was teleported to and said, "I was teleported to the woods. There were skulls all over the ground."

As soon as Gu Lin finished speaking, a voice came from the door: "You came from the Skeleton Forest."

Hearing the sound, all the players in the room looked towards the door.

A tall skeleton in a black robe that reached his ankles walked in from the door. He also had a hat on. The skeleton put the hat on his head and had a cross hanging around his neck.

The skeleton also wore a ring on his finger bones, and he folded his hands and turned the ring.

Seeing everyone's gaze shifting over, the skeleton nodded slightly and continued to look at Gu Lin and said, "The Skeleton Forest is also a Skeleton Cemetery. There are indeed many lonely skeletons there. They like to hide under the fallen leaves."

“Usually we use them to build houses.”

Everyone: “…”

Lonely Skull

I learned new vocabulary right after I arrived.

The players looked at the house they were staying in. Could it be that this was built with a skeleton?

As soon as the black-robed skeleton came over, all the players were on high alert, and everyone's attention was focused on this skeleton.

Except for the exposed face and hands, the rest of the skeleton was covered by clothes.

A player pointed at the skulls on the wall and said: "Are these skulls alive? Why can they talk?"

The black-robed skeleton's gaze fell on Gu Lin, the little ball, and he looked at him for a long time before looking away.

Hearing the player's question, the black-robed skeleton raised his head and laughed. After laughing, he said: "We skeletons are immortal. Of course we are alive. Can't you see that? Otherwise, why would we invite you here?"

Players: “…”

Yes, they also want to know. They are just here to complete the mission. Who knows what the dungeon settings are and what you invited them to do.

But no matter what they do, they always put the mission first.

The black-robed skeleton, like a schizophrenic, became polite again, bowed to all the players, and said: "It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Dear guests, welcome to Skull Island. Next, I will..."

Someone interrupted: "Isn't this the Skull Kingdom? How did it become Skull Island again?"

The black-robed skeleton raised his head and laughed once again. His laughter was weird and creepy. After he had laughed enough, he said, "The Skeleton Kingdom is also called Skull Island. We are used to calling it Skull Island. The Skull Kingdom is the elegant name we use for external publicity. Otherwise, when people hear the word island, they may mistake us for primitive islanders, or savages."

Players: “…………”

Ah this...

Not even as good as Skull Island.

They discovered that this skeleton was pretending to be cultured and even quoted from the Analects of Confucius when speaking, which was quite out of place.

Its outfit is a bit similar to that of a godfather in a church, especially the cross around its neck.

Several players who had experienced the previous copy were sighing in their hearts. They didn't expect that they would be upgraded from guests to VIPs.

The black-robed skeleton continued what it had not finished saying: "Welcome to Skull Island. What will happen next is..."

At this time, another player interrupted: "You claim to be the Skeleton Kingdom, so there is a king here?"

There are so many players, and there are all kinds of people, so it’s easy for them to talk at the same time.

What's more, half of these players are old players, and some of them are very experienced. Naturally, they will not miss the opportunity to inquire about information from NPCs, and maybe they can find some clues.

This black-robed skeleton has a weird temperament and never gets angry even though it is interrupted many times.

It chuckled again, and its skeleton shook: "There is no designated king. Each of us is our own king."

Player: "..."

After saying this, the black-robed skeleton said, "Next, I will lead you all to visit our Skull Island."

After it finished speaking, another baby voice sounded:

"Can you eat first, Uncle Skeleton? I'm hungry."

Skeleton: “…………”

Player: “…………”

Oh my goodness, it must be the little player in the rumors!

I can't forget to eat this no matter where I go!

Also, Uncle Skeleton!

All the old players have heard of Gu Lin, after all, he is so popular, but the other ten new players don’t know him.

Upon hearing this baby voice, everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked towards Gu Lin, their expressions suddenly changing into wonderful ones.

The black-robed skeleton was obviously confused by the words "Uncle Skeleton". It looked at the human cub, but this time it did not laugh strangely.

The other players interrupted it to ask questions directly, but this little cub spoke only after it finished speaking.

The black-robed skeleton opened his mouth so wide that the bones in his jaw fell off like wood chips. A strange light flashed in his eyes: "What a polite kid."

Then it said: "I will show you around and you can eat. Please follow me."

After saying that, the black-robed skeleton turned around and left first.

While the new players are undecided, some old players have already jumped on board.

Seeing this, others immediately followed.

Lin Xingchi was not there and the ground was not smooth, so Gu Lin could not ride the scooter.

Song Ran glanced at the big man in the double-layer hat with his arms crossed over his chest. The big man in the double-layer hat raised his eyebrows slightly but did not move.

After a half-second standoff, Song Ran bent down and resigned himself to picking up the little fat baby.

Song Ran said: "Little ghost, why are others brothers and sisters, but I am an uncle?"

Gu Lin gave a good reason: "Because you are older than my brother."

Song Ran: ""

It's that simple

Those who are younger or about the same age as their elder brother are called elder brother, and those who are older than their elder brother are called uncle.

Song Ran: "How old is your brother?"

Gu Lin tilted his head and thought for a while, then said in a baby voice, "I don't know."

Song Ran: “…”

He's not really a fake brother, is he?

*

The sky was dark and gloomy, and the sky looked like an inverted abyss, filled with an indescribable fear.

The players followed the black-robed skeleton and came outside.

Everything here is new and novel, like coming to a different world.

There were skull flowers growing on both sides of the road.

What was under my feet was not stones, but broken skull fragments. It felt very strange when I stepped on it, which made me feel scared.

I'm always afraid that if I take a step forward, something bad will happen.

The skeletons here are immortal, but these debris are dead and alive.

The black-robed skeleton walked in front and slowly said, "God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh day. The sixth day on our Skull Island is also the Sabbath."

It spoke slowly and not very loudly, but the strange thing was that the player at the end could hear it clearly, as if they were talking face to face.

Players speculated that this skeleton was probably the receptionist on their island.

The black-robed skull added: "In our skull culture, 13 is an unlucky number and is taboo for us. It is a synonym for selling out and betrayal."

The players were completely confused by what it said.

Moreover, skull culture

They even have their own culture

But doesn’t this interpretation of the numbers 7 and 13 come from humans?

However, these skeletons were also human beings before they became skeletons, so it becomes clear if you think about it this way.

When they heard the skeleton talking about numbers, Song Ran and Su Qiao looked at each other.

When they asked Gu Lin to choose a copy, they had just convinced themselves not to be superstitious about numbers when they arrived at a weird place where people were superstitious about numbers.

This black-robed skeleton developed a lot of stories centered around the numbers 7 and 13, even bringing up "The Last Supper."

Finally, a player couldn't help but say: "You believe in Christianity"

Black Skeleton: "We worship Skeleton King."

Players: “…”

What is Skeleton King?

The players were silent. They felt vaguely uneasy. They felt that the black-robed skeleton was saying this for no reason. But what was its intention?

Soon, they found out.

The black-robed skeleton stopped, turned around, faced the players, and smiled strangely: "There are twenty of you, we will only keep seven of you and kill the other thirteen."

Players: “…………”

Damn it! Fuck!

The players almost cursed three times.

Just now they were a loving family in the Skeleton House, and they felt that this time it must be a team operation, and were preparing to look for clues together.

But now they are told that thirteen of them will die and only seven will remain.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere among the players suddenly became wrong. Each other's eyes were filled with vigilance and suspicion, and even the distance between them was slightly widened.

If thirteen people are destined to die, it is very likely that the players will kill each other.

After all, being killed by skeletons is unknown, but if you kill other players, there is a high chance that you will survive.

Everyone had their own plans, but they quickly suppressed their thoughts and no one dared to act rashly, otherwise, killing or being killed would remain an unknown outcome.

The black-robed skeleton's smile grew wider, and his voice became sharper:

"Today is the first day. On the sixth day, you will all become complete skeletons. We will only keep those who have completely become skeletons. Those who have not completely become skeletons will be sunk into the Black Swamp by us."

"On the seventh day, we will select seven people to sacrifice to the Skeleton King."

"Those who are not chosen will also sink into the Black Swamp."

“…”

Deathly silence.

The player couldn't utter a word.

No one dared to interrupt the black-robed skeleton anymore.

Another player said weakly: "Skull, what does skeletonization mean?"

The black-robed skeleton chuckled and said, "It means literally, from a human to a skeleton, to a skeleton like us."

“…”

All the players were disappointed.

This means that if the mission is not completed, not only those thirteen people will die, but the other seven will also die.

Once you completely turn into a skeleton, you will become an NPC, and once you become an NPC, it will be impossible to clear the level.

They originally thought that the mission would last seven days and they could slowly search for clues, but according to the black-robed skeleton, they would turn into skeletons every day.

At this time, the little cub who was held in his arms had his stomach growling, and was so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Gu Lin said: "Uncle Skeleton, I'm so hungry that I don't even have the energy to talk. Let's go eat first! We can eat and talk at the same time."

Black Robe Skeleton: "..."

Others: “…”

You're about to turn into a skeleton and sink into the Black Swamp, and you're still thinking about eating

Seeing the little cub, the black-robed skeleton stopped smiling and said, "God took six days to create the world, so six sacrifices are enough. You, the little cub, don't need to be sacrificed."

Others: “…………”

It's started, it's started, a large-scale double standard scene of NPC!

This little cub is really popular wherever he goes!
