Rat 4
The day passed very quickly, and Yan Ke and the others were familiar with the surrounding environment. However, many people did not dare to go out to look for clues during their free time. The psychological pressure of one person dying a day was unbearable for ordinary people with average mental qualities. Some even reached the brink of mental breakdown, fearing that they would be the next person to violate the taboo and die.
Yan Ke is obviously not a saintly person. He doesn't care what these people are thinking or how fragile their psychology is. For him, his mental problems have now reached the point where he must see a doctor. He can't quite tell whether this is reality or the fantasy of his sophisticated brain, so much so that when someone dies in front of him, his reaction is delayed.
But this environment made him curious. This was the first time in more than ten years that he had left the waiting interface. At the foot of the mountain full of giant Buddhas, there was a temple.
Yan Ke thinks of himself as an atheist. When he was a teacher, he had a deep understanding of Marx's thoughts. He trusts science much more than anything else and believes that the world is made up of matter. However, he is not a scholar of any scientific discipline. He has only studied as a graduate student. He thinks his knowledge reserves are also good. But now the situation is completely out of his control.
The atmosphere of death and fear enveloped him, but he was not sensitive enough to grasp his own emotions. Whether in the real world or in this strange temple of unknown age, he was always in a state of wandering. It could be said that ever since the game panel appeared in front of his eyes, he could no longer look directly at the world. For Yan Ke, the real world and the world in front of him were both the world behind the game panel.
Is it his world?
The reason is that his memory of the real world is older, so old that he was still a teenager and had not downloaded any weird games out of curiosity. He was full of youth, had a happy family, his parents were not divorced, and he had friends and brothers around him, not the sloppy, schizophrenic person who cannot integrate into society now.
"What are you thinking about?" Nan Yu's voice came. He turned around and looked at the young man wearing a mask and said, "I was thinking, you don't take off your mask when you eat. Won't it get dirty?"
Nanyu pulled at his mask and explained: "It was cut open here. I am socially anxious and not good at socializing. Plus, my appearance is..." Nanyu hesitated to speak.
"More handsome." Yan Ke said.
Nanyu said a little embarrassedly: "Right, he looks more handsome."
"Hahaha, you're such an interesting person, you fit right in with a weirdo like me."
The atmosphere of the conversation between the two was harmonious, but the atmosphere on the other side was completely different.
"It's already this late and you're still spraying perfume. It smells terrible." Wang Liufu was a little impatient. As the only person who could be considered an elder here, his anxiety was far greater than that of others.
Tian Yixin lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at Wang Liufu, but she didn't admit that she had done anything wrong.
Liu Anyu helped Tian Yixin explain, "We have been here for several days. We can't take a shower or wash our hair. It's inevitable that we smell a little. She is usually a delicate girl. It's good that she doesn't collapse in this environment."
"You girls are huddling together for warmth, right? We can't go out at night, and there are strange things standing at the head of the bed staring at us as we sleep. We also have to smell this fragrance. I now have PTSD from the smell of sandalwood from burning incense. You are just giving us another fear option." The speaker was Wang Qiang, who had a good relationship with Zhao Lei. He looked thin and spoke sharply.
"I'm sorry." Tian Yixin bowed her head and admitted her mistake.
Fang Yu said, "Everyone, be rational. It's not easy for everyone right now. Only by helping each other can we get out alive. It's not easy for Xiaotian, a girl, either. It's just some perfume. Please be patient."
Fang Yu thought to himself at this moment: [It's over. We can't have an internal conflict in this situation. Based on my experience of reading infinite novels, there will definitely not be only newcomers in this game. What if everyone is an acting talent? Wouldn't I die inexplicably like the brothers before? I'd better appease them. Oh! It's so hard for me.]
The most rational person was the bespectacled Gao Xu, who calmly made the bed. He looked around and said to himself, "The taboo conditions are hard to guess. The phone is charged, but I can only view the apps. Many apps cannot be accessed, or the interface is blank. The most important thing now is to get a good night's sleep."
At this time, Liu Anyu reminded: "Is there anyone who believes in Buddhism?"
"No." Yan Ke said subconsciously.
"I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it either."
…
When everyone said one after another that they did not believe in Buddhism, they were also very surprised. You know, Buddhism is one of the main beliefs in the country and is very popular among the people.
Now when we come to this temple, everyone is an atheist, so there is a certain coincidence, but I can't help but wonder, if you believe in Buddhism, you must have a certain understanding of Buddhism, but if everyone does not believe in Buddhism, it will be difficult to ensure that they do not violate taboos.
It was really puzzling that there was no clue how to reason about the dead person. Only Gao Xu raised his eyes to glance at Yan Ke and the others, then lowered his head to make the bed.
Death could come at any time, and one of them might die tomorrow. Everyone was very nervous and scared, some even hadn't slept well for several days. They were all tired, and their brains were overloaded. The more they worked, the more empty they felt, and they just couldn't think of any clues.
I live in fear every day, afraid that I will die in the next second.
In such a high-pressure environment, it is really rare for everyone to control their temper. It seems that the troublemakers die first, and the rest are gasping cowards who dare not make any extra noise. They are afraid of death and being excluded at the same time. It is so complicated that it is hard to imagine.
"We didn't see any other people, did we? I mean, are there other pilgrims here besides us?" Fang Yu was a cheerful person in what he said and did, but one could hear a sense of caution in his cheerful tone. It might be because he had stayed in this environment for a long time, so it was normal for him to be a little wary.
Yan Ke did not intend to answer his question. To Yan Ke, Fang Yu was not a trustworthy person.
"I want to know if there are any pilgrims. I want to make sure I haven't violated any taboos today and will be alive tomorrow. Go check it yourself during the free time in the morning. Don't check it and violate the taboos and die."
The one who answered Fang Yu was another girl, Liu Anyu.
Liu Anyu was frightened today and is still very weak, but his tone carries a hint of caution.
She glanced at Tian Yixin. She was really strange. It seemed like she had violated a taboo, but she did not die. It was really strange. So much information seemed to confuse their judgment ability. Now that everyone had found some clues, they did not say it out. It might be because of selfishness.
She looked at Yan Ke and the boy. Both of them looked strange, but they were safe and sound. Especially the bearded man. He looked difficult to deal with. He was too tall. For her, who was only 1.6 meters tall, she couldn't see their faces clearly. It was really hard for her to trust everyone present.
The sky outside was getting dark. No one dared to break the rules. They all lay on the big bunk bed waiting for the monster at night, and then waited anxiously for the dawn of the next day.
Darkness came quietly, some people fell asleep by self-hypnosis, some fell asleep because they were too tired, and those who couldn't sleep could never sleep. Can you imagine a group of ghosts standing at the head of your bed and staring at you in the middle of the night? The key is that you can still feel their gaze, and more sensitive people can even feel their breath, a burning breath.
Yan Ke was grabbed by the thigh flesh, and he was so startled that he almost opened his eyes. Who was sleeping next to him? It was the girl named Tian Yixin. What was wrong with this girl? She grabbed his thigh and it hurt. He was sweating coldly. Yan Ke still didn't dare to open his eyes. Who would be willing to go head-on with these unknown species?
He tried to pry open the hand that was pulling his thigh. The hand was cold but still stained with human sweat. It seemed that Tian Yixin was even more frightened. She was so scared that she didn't even dare to breathe smoothly.
Yan Ke frowned and didn't open his eyes. He could feel countless gazes directed towards him and Tian Yixin. They were supposed to be the gods and Buddhas who were most capable of suppressing demons and monsters, so how could there be so many strange existences?
Yan Ke was puzzled and at the same time sighed that although Tian Yixin looked weak, she was actually very strong.
The air was filled with anxiety, but one could smell some blood, as if it was right above him.
Suddenly, he felt a sinking sensation and he felt the weight of a fortune pressing down on him. He subconsciously opened his eyes and was frightened to death.
I couldn't see the strange face clearly, but I could vaguely tell that it was a person, lying on top of me in a very twisted posture.
Although Yan Ke couldn't see the objects in front of him clearly because of the lack of light in the dark, it would be weird if he couldn't feel such a strange and terrifying thing lying on his body.
The game interface shows that the game plot exploration progress is 1%.
"This is an illusion, absolutely an illusion." Yan Ke muttered.
All I heard was a miserable roar of a human voice.
Yan Ke didn’t know whether it was out of fear or a subconscious reaction, but he actually wanted to turn over and run away.
As a result, the thing on his body was pressing him down tightly like a jack, and he could vaguely hear the pain of his leg muscles tearing under the heavy pressure.
A pair of blood-red eyes suddenly stared at his eyes. The look in his eyes was full of blood, and it was unclear whether it was hatred or murderous resentment in his eyes.
Yan Ke wanted to move, but he was pinned down so tightly that he couldn't turn over at all.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a handsome guy?"
Yan Ke squeezed out these words from between his teeth, and Guiyi was obviously stunned for a moment. Who could have thought that this person was about to be crushed into meat paste, but his mouth was still so hard.
[Game reminder, you can use the prop backpack.] The mechanical female voice reminder, with some special effects, is really a game interface full of atmosphere.
Because of his own crisis, the game panel changed, but with the strange interface changes, he saw that his health bar was visibly decreasing.
Yan Ke gritted his teeth, this weirdness seemed to be crushing him to death, his heart was filled with turmoil, was this the golden finger in place?
