Rat 6
Coming here, one can't survive by being thick-skinned or having good acting skills. Now he looked at the game panel in front of him which showed [Game Progress 5 Percent], and he knew that the taboo conditions were only superficial conditions. It was normal for ancient Buddhist temples to have some strict rules and regulations, but he made sure that he had not violated any taboos, and according to the deaf monk's instructions, he tried his best to comply with the temple's rules.
"It seems that the pilgrim named Miss Bai asked the right question, although she didn't find any useful information." Yan Ke said in his heart.
Fang Yu followed Yan Ke and Nan Yu and asked, "The people here are so weird. They are not as nice as I felt at the beginning."
Nan Yu asked back: "Do you think that they are all college students or have just graduated and started working because they are of similar age, so they are innocent?"
Fang Yu said that it was true, but why did he still follow Yan Ke? Was it because Yan Ke looked more stable? It seemed to be true, but Nanyu in front of him.
"Why don't you take off your mask? It's almost stinking, isn't it?"
Nan Yu took out a new mask from his black coat and said, "It won't stink. I have two left. They'll last a few more days."
Yan Ke listened to the conversation between the two without any intention of joining in, as he was reviewing it in his mind.
There should be seven people left now, Yan Ke [alias Mo Fan], Nan Yu, Fang Yu, Tian Yixin, Wang Yihan, Wang Qiang, Wang Liufu, Liu Anyu, and Gao Xu. Nine of them are still alive.
When Yan Ke was counting the number of people, he was shocked to realize that there were eleven people and two more people had appeared without him noticing.
When he was going up the mountain, he counted several times and there were eleven people. Now he was not sure about the number because so many people suddenly appeared in the game interface. This was the first time he had encountered this in more than ten years.
You know, Yan Ke has lived with this game panel for more than ten years. He often comes to this waiting interface and the mountains of giant Buddhas in his dreams.
That day, someone suddenly came over, and Yan Ke’s first reaction was disbelief, followed by observing the person and the environment.
He looked into people's pupils, and he looked just like he did in real life, unshaven and sloppy.
These are not very important now. The game progress is 5%. Before, four people died and the game progress was only 2%. No, it was when they walked into the temple that the game progress increased from 0 to 1%. When they talked with the deaf monk and completed a day's pipeline projects, the game progress reached 2%. This means that they must be connected to this temple for the progress to continue to increase.
He talked to Miss Bai, and the game progress suddenly increased to 5%, which meant that Miss Bai had important clues.
Yan Ke felt that it was impossible for them to survive here simply by avoiding those strange rules. Three days must be enough time for them to investigate.
Before entering the temple, a man ran into the fog and was cut in half by a strange force. [Running into the fog] is a taboo. They are now in the backyard of the temple, where individual visitors live, and monks do not live here.
However, the location where you leave the Buddhist temple is covered with fog, which means you cannot pass that location.
In the afternoon, they went to the acting abbot to listen to lectures. At that time, they could leave the backyard and go around the middle corridor to come to a position closer to the main hall where Buddha was worshipped in the front. Soon after they went there, they would hear the voice of Monk Xuankong, but they had not seen Monk Xuankong himself, which meant that the acting abbot Monk Xuankong might not be in the Buddha Hall.
During these days, they were very obedient in listening to Monk Xuankong lecture on Buddhist scriptures, simply because they were afraid of violating any taboos. Now that they thought about it, no one had died during that period of time.
The second person to die seemed to be named Sun Xin. The cause of death seemed to be suffocation, which was different from the strange pressure he encountered. This meant that what the deaf monk said was a reminder for them. He vaguely remembered that the monk said the environment was simple or something, which was telling them not to be picky. Sun Xin might be used to his bed, or he might have been not used to it, and then he died. Obviously, this was a taboo, which was [not sleeping on a high bed].
On the first day, Wang Zihan complained about Sun Xin's troubles. What did he do that violated the rules? It seemed that he took a long time to make the bed. At that time, Yan Ke slept casually on the outside and didn't pay attention to any details. On the second day, Sun Xin died. Everyone slept well on the first night.
Apart from the fact that Sun Xin's body was ice-cold, there were other details. Yan Ke thought carefully and it seemed that his bed was higher than others. He wondered where he got the extra quilt from. Yan Ke thought that the place where they slept was indeed very simple, but not shabby.
That night, it seemed that no one slept in the bed where Sun Xin died, so it was left empty, and then everyone changed positions.
Yan Ke found it totally incomprehensible. Sleeping on a high bed would cause death, and then, no one else died because of the taboo of [not sleeping on a high bed]. The first person who did this ended up dead, but the second person who did this did not die yet. It is not clear whether this taboo has any sequence of conditions.
The third person to die was named Zhao Xiaofeng. He seemed to have choked to death. What taboo did he violate?
The deaf monk said, "In the temple, you can cultivate your body and mind." He didn't remember clearly what he said, as he didn't have a photographic memory, but the deaf monk seemed to have said that they should eat more at noon, and that they would have no dinner, only water.
This was the taboo Yan Ke had thought of before: "Don't eat after noon." And someone knew about this taboo from the beginning and had specifically reminded him of it.
The reason was that he had eaten in the afternoon the day before, and they ate at noon. With the successive deaths in the past few days, no one had the heart to eat properly, but they must go back to the cafeteria to eat at noon. Is it a taboo to [not eat after noon]? It seems that other people noticed this from the beginning, but did not remind others because they found that only one person died a day before, and if someone died on that day, they were safe, so they would not remind those who violated the taboo.
Everyone has the desire to protect themselves. No one wants to die inexplicably in this place. Where is this place? No one knows what it is. Now only Yan Ke knows that this is the weird game he played more than ten years ago.
More than ten years ago, this game was only played on the computer. Later, some things happened and his memory of this place was very vague after he finished the game. However, the game panel in front of him, which showed [Player has finished the game, please explore on your own], has been with him for more than ten years.
The fourth one was Zhao Lei. Zhao Lei was the one who died the most tragically. His body was so mutilated that no one dared to look at it. Even Yan Ke found it too bloody and horrifying to look at. Zhao Lei must have suffered some inhuman treatment during his lifetime, or the taboo angered Guiyi, causing him to be so ruthless when he killed him.
He didn't know what Zhao Lei did, but this person, like Wang Qiang, was very close to the two girls and even showed some courtesy.
The one who has a good relationship with Zhao Lei is called Wang Qiang, and the one who looks like a young master is called Wang Zihan.
As for the others, the one with a strong green tea flavor is called Tian Yixin. He didn't like this girl at first sight. She looks weak and cute, but in fact she is selfish and good at taking advantage of boys' sympathy, mediating between multiple boys and gaining their favor without making a sound. He is very familiar with her eyes, which are very similar to the girl who confessed to Yan Ke six years ago and turned around and jumped off the building after being rejected by Yan Ke.
It is true that she is afraid, but it is also true that she is hunting for beauty, and this kind of girl will do anything to achieve her goal, even at the cost of her life.
Another girl, Liu Anyu, is a kind-hearted girl. She looks not much older than Tian Yixin, but she always acts as Tian Yixin's protector. Even though she is obviously scared to death, she still insists on speaking for Tian Yixin.
Fang Yu, this person, speaks carelessly, but he can't tell his depth, so it's better to maintain the status quo.
And that Nanyu was an even stranger person. He looked at the two people who were fighting and playing.
We are talking about the nice environment here, it looks like autumn.
Fang Yu said: "We have been walking for such a long time, and I don't know where to go. If it weren't for the dead people here, the scenery would be pretty good, but that half is foggy."
The corridor in the distance is in the form of a Chinese-style arcade. The corridor of this temple really offers a new scene at every step. The scenery created by the rockery and the pool is quite artistic. Even the paint on the pillars in the corridor looks new.
"The scenery here is nice. You can take a few more photos and take them out to appreciate them carefully when you go out, so that you won't suffer any serious psychological trauma from what you experienced in the past two days." Nanyu said casually.
"I want to, but I'm still afraid of touching some taboos, because it's not good to have two beautiful photos."
What's wrong with that.
"I'm going to find Xuan Kong to act as the host." At this time, Yan Ke, who had been silent for a long time, said: "I don't know if it will touch any taboos, you'd better not follow me."
"Xuankong? Is he the monk who preaches through the loudspeaker every day?" Fang Yu asked.
Yan Ke didn't reply and just left.
Fang Yu looked at Nan Yu: "Follow me?"
"I won't follow you anymore." Then he turned and left.
Fang Yu looked at the backgrounds of the two and decided not to follow.
If anything dangerous really happened, Fang Yu felt that he was absolutely certain to be used as cannon fodder.
Yan Ke left along the winding corridor and followed his memory to find the deaf monk first.
He seemed to appear in the cafeteria often. Breakfast and lunch were prepared by the deaf monk. His duty was to take care of the pilgrims living here. I had never communicated with him, so I went to ask him first.
Yan Ke turned and walked towards the cafeteria, but before she arrived, she smelled a familiar smell of blood.
Something happened!!
This was Yan Ke’s first reaction.
Yan Ke hurriedly ran towards the cafeteria. When he arrived there, he saw Wang Liufu's body lying on the ground. Next to him was a huge water tank, and the ground was covered with water stains.
Most people are here, except Nanyu and Wang Zihan.
Someone asked: "What happened? Why did he die?" The person asking the question was Wang Qiang.
Gao Xu and Fang Yu moved out, and they also heard the sound of someone struggling.
Both of them were soaked and they didn't know why.
Fang Yu panted and said, "I don't know either. When I first came here, I heard Gao Xu calling for people to come quickly, so I came and carried him out with great effort, but he was still not breathing."
Gao Xu sat on the ground and nodded. It was obvious that the boy had not recovered yet. He didn't even know when Wang Liufu died. When he pulled him twice, Wang Liufu still responded.
"Is this a wine jar? Why does it smell so strongly of alcohol?" Yan Ke asked.
Gao Xu replied: "It's water, the smell of alcohol is the smell of Uncle Wang."
Tian Yixin was so scared that she started crying: "Wow, why did someone die again? Can we still get out alive???"
Liu Anyu was also frightened. Wang Liufu died with his eyes open, his face pale from blisters, and looked a little scary.
Yan Ke didn't look at him again and went straight to the back kitchen of the cafeteria. They didn't know what this person wanted to do.
After a while, Yan Ke dragged the deaf monk out and typed to him on his phone: "Can you take him to find Xuan Kong?"
The deaf monk shook his head.
"Can I go find Miss Bai?"
The deaf monk continued to shake his head.
Yan Ke's patience was obviously running out.
But I suppressed my anger and asked for the last time.
The deaf monk nodded.
Yan Ke's frown deepened.
He seemed to know what the taboos of this temple were.
