Rat 3
After worshiping the Buddha, everyone was arranged to stay in the side rooms and sleep on a large bunk bed.
A monk pushed the door open and said, "Dear donors, this is the place to stay. We don't provide dinner here, so you'd better not go out to find it. Tomorrow there will be morning classes at 5 a.m., breakfast at 6 a.m., and you can arrange the morning as you like. Lunch at 12 noon, and listen to the lecture of the acting host Xuan Kong at 3 p.m. Everyone, you are also interested in Buddhism, you should know that the environment in the temple is simple, and practicing in the mountains is to cultivate your mind and cultivate your character, which must be a bit hard, so wash up and go to bed early."
Fang Yu asked: "Master, where is the toilet?"
The monk ignored Fang Yu and turned away.
Yan Ke pointed to the corner.
Fang Yu said: "There are girls here."
"There are pillars over there." Liu Anyu reminded, "Just make do with it."
Fang Yu had no choice but to accept the reality.
"This is quite advanced, wireless charging." The boy next to Wang Liufu is called Wang Zihan, he said in surprise.
Yan Ke did not listen and fell into a state of contemplation. In the past, he would wake up soon after falling into this state. The game in front of him was still there, but the game interface showed free exploration mode.
The game interface changed. His mental illness couldn't be really serious, but when he thought of the person who died inexplicably, he would not be one of them. He couldn't tell whether this was reality or not. He was even more unsure whether he was really sick or was the chosen one as he thought before. However, more than ten years have passed, and even the most firm ideas would change now.
"Handsome guy, move a little over there. It's a bit crowded." Yan Ke said, and then moved to the side.
"It's a bit uncomfortable. The bed is too hard. Is it the big kang in Northeast China? It's really hard."
Someone couldn't help but complain: "Okay, it's only the first day, and we don't know what tomorrow will be like, just make do with it, don't be too spoiled."
I just wanted to ask, and at this time, Tian Yixin's sweet voice sounded: "Before you came to this strange place, did any words appear in front of you?"
Gao Xu said, it was too weird, I didn't have time to watch it, but I remember the general idea:
"When a player dies in the game, he dies in reality too.
The second player will get a prop after clearing the level.
After three players achieve perfect clearance, they will receive a reward from the BOSS.
After the fourth mission fails, the punishment game will open to the real world
Finally, good luck to you! "
"Dude, you're awesome. You wrote down something so weird that it was hard to watch." Fang Yu expressed everyone's thoughts.
"We won't be in the worst possible situation and enter an infinite gaming world, right? No, with my personality, I'll definitely be cannon fodder." Wang Zihan said this, and everyone agreed.
A group of newbies, traveling through the infinite flow together, it seems like a total annihilation.
Yan Ke had already fallen asleep by this time, and did not hear the subsequent discussion of the crowd at all. The young man in black also slept with him. Some people had insomnia so severe that monks came to wake them up, while others slept soundly.
The next day, when everyone got up, put on their clothes and prepared to leave, they discovered that one person was missing.
"Sun Xin, don't sleep anymore. You've been busy all night. I told you to stop fiddling with it. Look like you can't get up, right? Yawn... I didn't sleep much all night." Wang Zihan stepped forward and called Sun Xin.
At this time, someone screamed: "Ah!!! He's dead."
Everyone came to their senses and looked at Sun Xin. His face was peaceful, but his body was stiff and his skin looked dead.
Wang Liufu's legs went limp and he knelt on the ground, saying tremblingly, "Another one died."
Sun Xin was sleeping at the very edge, with only Wang Zihan next to him. His face was pale and he was obviously frightened. There was a dead person sleeping next to him who died for unknown reasons. Who was he talking to at night?
It was the first time for a grown man like him to be frightened to the point of wanting to pee.
He cursed inwardly, "What a hell of a place, people die wherever they say they will, damn it."
Everyone was frightened, and some people didn't even dare to look there.
The deaf monk took a look and said, "Everyone, morning class time is almost up. Please follow me. There is still time to go to the toilet."
Everyone quickly separated, some went to the toilet, some went to wash up.
There was also Wang Liufu who didn't want to wash, but after thinking of something, he followed the crowd.
In the morning class, we read the Heart Sutra and the Lotus Sutra, and then guide everyone to recite them.
An hour passed quickly.
After the morning class, the deaf monk led everyone to the cafeteria to eat. Everything was normal, and there was even a feeling of peace and tranquility. Yan Ke thought the food was very good. Although it was light, it was delicious and he ate more.
After the morning class, everyone went back to their rooms in twos and threes. Only the young man in black and I came out to investigate the situation.
As they walked, the young man in black said, "I haven't asked you your name yet?" He was still wearing a mask and his face could not be seen clearly. He was the most mysterious person among the group.
"You can call me Mo Fan. If we could meet in real life, I would tell you my real name."
The black-clothed young man smiled and said, "Okay, Mo Fan, my name is Nanyu, this is my real name. I hope we can both get out alive. If I die here, at least someone will remember my name. However, you are quite confident, can you ensure that you can get out alive?"
"Seeing that you usually wear a mask and look rather cold, I'm not confident, but I feel that there are many taboos and conditions. You and I should be careful in what we say and do. We should do what the monk tells us to do and not do what he doesn't allow us to do. This way we can survive."
"And you said you were not confident. You said it all out loud."
Mo Fan, also known as Yan Ke, smiled and said, "Now that we are here, we should make the best of it. All we have to do is abide by the rules. It's actually very simple."
“Mo Fan, you fit in very well with this environment.” He pointed at his chin.
As his beard was unkempt and looked messy, Mo Fan felt helpless, thinking that it was their fault for having to face the current situation.
Their first day ended with nothing. Sun Xin's dead body was carried away, and everyone had to sleep on the same bunk bed where someone had died before.
Yan Ke was very brave. He switched places with Wang Zihan and slept next to him. His sleep quality has always been very good, so he fell asleep quickly.
At night, everyone was awakened by knocking on the door, but it was late at night and no one got up.
No one dared to open their eyes, for fear of seeing something strange. Yan Ke slept on the side and could feel someone looking down at him, but he still hypnotized himself: "Follow the rules, sleep at night, one sheep, two sheep, three sheep..."
But the people sleeping in the middle couldn't sleep well. Tian Yixin struggled to get up. Fang Yu and Liu Anyu tried to hold her back, but neither of them dared to open their eyes. Liu Anyu glimpsed countless ghost shadows and closed her eyes quickly in fear. Her survival instinct made her lean against the back.
As a result, she ran into Zhao Lei, the boy who had shown concern for him and Tian Yixin before. He took advantage of the chaos to touch her. She tried to break free, but it was useless. Suddenly, there was no movement from behind. Liu Anyu was frightened to the point of insanity. She sweated a lot, but she didn't dare to cover her head with the quilt because she was so scared that her whole body was stiff.
On the second day, after Liu Anyu fainted from fright, he was woken up by Tian Yixin.
"Senior, you woke up. I was so scared. I thought you were also..."
Liu Anyu panted and said, "Tian Yixin, you scared me to death. You suddenly did it at night and I didn't hold you back. I thought something happened to you."
The morning class was still reading obscure scriptures, and in the end everyone was guided to recite them. Until it was time for dinner, a boy named Zhao Xiaofeng suddenly fell on the table, as if he was choked by food. Everyone came forward to help him, but he spat out a mouthful of blood on the table and died.
Everyone who witnessed this was terrified.
"Someone's dead." Liu Anyu couldn't bear the shock and passed out.
"Have you figured out the pattern?" Nan Yu asked Yan Ke.
Yan Ke shook his head, but still finished his meal: "Let's go. If we can't find a pattern, they will still die for no reason."
Fang Yu's face turned pale: "Brother, brother, please take me with you, I don't want to stay here."
Tian Yixin was so scared that she was shaking like a sieve: "You, you guys don't leave yet, help carry the senior sister."
The deaf monk said at this time: "When you come here, you must follow the rules. You are not particular about eating. Tsk tsk, young man."
Yan Ke looked at the deaf monk, and the deaf monk looked back at Yan Ke. There was no reminder on the game panel in Yan Ke's eyes.
Then he looked at the unconscious Liu Anyu and got up and left.
Fang Yu looked both ways, and finally made up his mind to follow.
The atmosphere among the few people left was a bit awkward.
After Yan Ke came out, Nan Yu smiled and said, “Fang Yu thinks that you, Mo Fan, are not easy to mess with.”
Fang Yu smiled and said, "Brother, please don't blame me. I was just simply scared. That person suddenly vomited blood and died. We didn't follow him all the time. When did he violate the taboo conditions?"
Yan Ke said, "We can't see those pilgrims, but we can hear information from other monk NPCs, such as Buddha's bones and relics. Does this temple support many monks?"
"This is the back room. No guests can be seen here, which is normal. However, the main hall is shrouded in fog, so we can't get through for now. If we force our way in, I'm afraid we'll violate some taboos or rules, and we'll die there. It's not worth it."
Yan Ke nodded: "So, the time we arranged in the morning actually fixed our range of action within this range, the back room, the small Buddhist hall, the dining hall, the corridor in the backyard, the larger Buddhist hall in the middle. The only place we can't go to is the front yard."
Fang Yu said: "In fact, we have discovered a rule, which is that at most one person can die per day."
Yan Ke nodded, that was indeed the case.
"We also found that, but other than that, something seems to be wrong here. There are too many monks who have passed away in meditation in the temple, and other than that, we haven't found any useful information."
Fang Yu nodded.
Zhao Xiaofeng was the third person to die at night, but there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be a next one. The night became particularly unbearable, but everyone did not dare to leave the lights on for fear of violating taboos they were not aware of.
As night fell, countless eyes were cast on those who were sleeping soundly or pretending to sleep. Some covered their heads and hypnotized themselves. Liu Anyu didn't dare to care about Tian Yixin anymore. She hadn't slept for several days and was mentally weak. She had fainted once. Her head was buzzing and she might stop thinking at any time. Today was the only time she fell asleep as soon as she lay down, except for covering her head.
Yan Ke was moved to Tian Yixin's side today. Tian Yixin suddenly sat up while sleeping, waking him up. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of scarlet eyes full of hatred. He pretended to turn over, talk in his sleep, and covered his head, all in one go.
But Guiyi seemed to be unreasonable and crawled into his bed. He simply kicked the quilt away and slept in a carefree manner, looking like he was sleeping very soundly.
Just like this, another day passed in the strange harassment.
But everyone had not reached their limit yet. They had morning classes, ate and rested, and in the afternoon listened to a lecture by the acting host, which talked about the Buddha cutting his flesh to feed an eagle.
Zhao Lei, that pervert, was actually murdered. His body was badly broken, which made the temple look even more weird and abnormal.
Everyone thought of the murderer as the strange thing that happened at night.
