Meet again
"Hey, it's a mess."
Zhu Baifeng pushed Chen Can away, stood in front of the machine and entered a string of ID.
"Who asked you to read together? I know that the ID of you and Yachang is only a few digits apart..." Chen Can hugged his elbows and looked at him with squinted eyes.
"Yes, yes, I shouldn't expect a poor student to remember two strings of IDs." Zhu Baifeng was going through a tedious login process.
"You are at the bottom of the grade and you have no right to criticize me."
"Everyone is at the bottom of the class, but you are not."
"I'll be in front of you."
The two of them argued back and forth, and Zhu Baifeng's speed slowed down even more.
Li Yachang held his forehead and said, "Shut up, do you still want to play?"
"Shut up!" The two students at the bottom of the grade looked at the students at the top of the grade in front of them and said in unison.
"You are not worthy to speak to us."
"I'm not done yet, stop making noise."
"Can you do it? If not, let me do it." Li Yachang said to Zhu Baifeng who was frowning.
Zhu Baifeng's brows relaxed, he pressed "Done", and pulled Li Yachang over, "Alright, it's your turn."
"I should have asked you to log in to all three accounts." Li Yachang touched the screen covered with sweat and said with a little disdain.
Zhu Baifeng: "..."
After Ou Ranyu squatted in the corner and counted the dust for ten minutes, Chen Can also completed the login. He glanced at Ou Ranyu in the corner and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ou Ranyu doesn’t have a game account, so I hope he won’t follow me this time.
The three of them no longer cared about Ou Ranyu. After completing the login, they entered the game mode one after another.
Game loading... 3, 2, 1
Loading complete.
Chen Can's eyes lit up, as if he were in a virtual world. He tried to touch the objects around him, and surprisingly, he could feel the touch of the real world, but it was all rather blurry.
Chen Can packed his equipment and set out to find Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang.
Finding teammates is one of the features of this game. No matter whether the player chooses single-player mode or multiplayer mode, he must find teammates to complete the main task. Teammates can be players or NPCs, some are dead, some are alive, some are designated teammates, and some are random teammates.
Chen Can has already chosen the multiplayer mode and designated Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang as his teammates. It should have been relatively easy to find teammates, but after searching for a long time, he found nothing.
Chen Can turned into an empty city in confusion and finally found the trace of his teammates.
but……
The ID of this "teammate" is "Ou Ranyu", he is dressed in black, has the initial equipment, and has a dull expression.
The moment Chen Can saw the ID name, he wanted to run away, but the "Task Details" were displayed above the interface.
This is the task hint provided when finding teammates, similar to a secret code between teammates.
Chen Can clicked to view, and then several side quests appeared. It seemed that the main quest could only be displayed after gathering all the teammates.
Chen Can closed the details, and then a connection request from "Ou Ranyu" appeared.
This is a privilege for the player's teammates.
Accept it, or not. Chen Can finally accepted it.
"Chen Can." Ou Ranyu's muffled voice came from the other side.
"Why are you here..." Before Chen Can finished asking, he realized that he was in the game world. How could Ou Ranyu recognize him?
It’s just that Ou Ranyu’s tone when he said his name didn’t sound like a question, nor was it certain, it was just a statement.
Even though it was just a statement, Chen Can was confused by him.
If I had known earlier, I would have kept quiet. There would have been nothing to ask.
Ou Ranyu is a psychopath and academic nerd who is incomprehensible. If he wants to follow in, all he has to do is register an account.
Chen Can shut up, not knowing what to say, and just stood there like a frozen machine.
"Can I follow you now?" Ou Ranyu asked.
Please get as far away as you can! Chen Can roared inwardly.
"You... forget it." Chen Can hesitated, "Just don't run around."
After giving the instructions, Chen Can continued to look for the other two teammates.
Ou Ranyu followed him quietly like a well-behaved alpaca.
I collected a lot of equipment along the way, and I don't know when I broke into a strange forest.
White mist was scattered, shadows of trees were dense, and from time to time one could hear a faint sound of music, mixed with the hoarse calls of birds, revealing a sense of weirdness everywhere.
This is the second feature of this game, time travel.
Millions of worlds overlap and intertwine. Sometimes you are hiking in the snowy mountains in the last second, and appear in the hail of bullets on the battlefield in the next second.
Chen Can was already used to it. After all, it wasn't his first time playing the game, so he had some idea of the game's routines.
Generally, when time travel occurs, it means you have to complete a side quest.
An owl suddenly fluttered out from the sky above the fog. Chen Can saw that it was holding something in its mouth. It circled over him and Ou Ranyu for a while, then dropped the thing and flew away.
Chen Can picked up a piece of wood with sun patterns carved on it and looked closely. He could see twisted serpentine patterns all over the sun patterns.
It's not a serious totem at first glance.
Chen Can put away the wood and continued walking deeper into the forest.
Without any warning, a strong wind blew in the forest, and the forest was surging. The sound of the wind was like a downpour and the sound of flowing water was endless.
Chen Can stopped, blocked by a tree. It wasn't an illusion; he watched the tree teleport right before his eyes, and the surrounding trees slowly approached Chen Can.
Chen Can subconsciously moved closer to his teammates, but found nothing. He looked around and saw nothing but trees. How could he see any men in black?
Ou Ranyu is missing.
After confirming this, Chen Can sent a connection request, and the other party answered the call within a few seconds.
"Ou Ranyu, where are you?" Chen Can asked.
No one answered for a long time.
"Ou Ranyu, can you hear me? Can you hear me?" Chen Can's tone was a little hurried.
Still no response.
Chen Can confirmed that the communicator was not malfunctioning. He could still hear the faint sound of wind coming through it. The only possibility was that Ou Ranyu was deliberately keeping silent.
The brain circuits of a psychopath are incomprehensible.
Chen Can ignored Ou Ranyu and hung up the phone, concentrating on dealing with the tree that was still slowly approaching. However, it was obvious that Chen Can had no other choice but to use his equipment.
[Soul Slayer, Blade of the Evil Spirit. Used 1 times]
Chen Can swung his blade, and the view before his eyes suddenly became clear, with trees falling down within a hundred miles.
It really is a good knife! Chen Can was very happy to break out of the encirclement, but he still felt a little sad when he thought about using up his only offensive weapon.
Forget it, as long as I don’t encounter anything difficult to deal with later, it doesn’t matter if I use it up.
A strange music sounded at an inopportune moment.
No, it’s not over yet!
Chen Can was still running along the cut tree, with the sound of music following him like a shadow, never stopping.
Fortunately, after walking for a distance, there were no more trees gathering.
Chen Can stopped at a relatively empty meadow. There was a commotion in the meadow, accompanied by faint music, like a mysterious and ancient symphony.
Chen Can was not interested in appreciating it. When he saw clearly what was in the grass, he frowned.
The grass is full of dancing stones... moving and flirting
Chen Can scoffed at this adjective and immediately dismissed all thoughts.
The most urgent thing is to escape.
When Chen Can stood on tiptoe and prepared to pass through the cracks in the rocks, the rocks pinched his feet and stopped him. Although it was not very painful, it was enough to make Chen Can gasp.
Damn stone spirit!
As soon as Chen Can pulled his foot out, the stone resumed its "dancing" posture.
Time slowly slipped by, the stone still swaying tirelessly. Bored with waiting, Chen Can decided to go all out and stepped on the stone. He then began to move with the stone beneath his feet, as if he were wearing a pair of automatic roller skates, running around. But before he could take a few steps, inertia sent Chen Can plummeting face-first to the ground. At that crucial moment, his defense kicked in.
As if falling in the air, Chen Can climbed up unscathed. The surrounding stones stopped "dancing" and crawled past him in an orderly manner, densely packed like a group of rats crawling.
Chen Can inexplicably felt nauseous and had to close his eyes and not watch. He groaned in his heart. If he had another chance, he would never choose to experience this game.
Fortunately, we didn't have to endure it for too long, and the siege that lasted for twenty minutes finally ended.
Chen Can removed his defenses, kicked away a few small stones that seemed to be in the way, and continued walking into the forest.
It turns out that surprises often lie in danger.
A small wooden house appeared in the fog. Chen Can pushed open the door and saw a black figure in the center of the house.
An extremely familiar interface pops up.
【Task Details】
Chen Can clicked to view, and relatively complete information was displayed on the [Task Details].
[Main Mission] Find the traitor and kill him. Progress: 10%
[Side Quest] Survive in the Sleeping Town. Progress: 50%
[Side Quest]...
Teammates: 68%
This means that the other teammates are in this cabin.
Chen Can looked around and found that the only door in the room was in front of the man in black. From the moment he entered, the man in black had never turned around, staring at the door motionlessly.
Chen Can didn't bother to pay attention to him, walked past him and pushed open the door.
It turns out that surprises are always accompanied by shocks.
Four legs dangled neatly in front of Chen Can. Looking up, he saw two ninjas with the names and numbers Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang, hanging from the beams with hemp ropes around their necks. It was like a suicide scene...
Chen Can tugged at the two men's feet. The touch was comparable to that of zombies... Chen Can calmly walked out of the door and quietly closed it.
There must be a bug somewhere.
In a trance, Chen Can accepted a friend request.
"They are dead." The tone was as calm as a corpse, and there was no one else except Ou Ranyu.
Chen Can came back to his senses and noticed the man in black standing next to him.
Why is it still Ou Ranyu?
Chen Can ignored Ou Ranyu, calmed himself down, and opened the door again.
This time there were not four legs hanging in the air, but two "corpses" lying side by side on the ground.
A few lines of large characters floated faintly from the system.
[Statement] The fog is thick with uncertainty. Two teammates were brutally murdered simply because they learned the identity of the traitor... Please find the traitor and revive your teammates. Progress: 2%
Chen Can squatted silently beside the "corpse", drafting a thousand sentences in his mind.
Although it was just a game, Chen Can still couldn't help but feel sad and angry: "Pig, duck, don't worry, I will definitely find the murderer——"
The traitor.
"Take you out and find a Feng Shui treasure land—"
A good burial...
As for the traitor, Chen Can stole a glance at the man in black who was watching coldly from the side.
Ou Ranyu, the prime suspect.
First, Ou Ranyu abandoned his teammates in the face of danger and vanished inexplicably. Second, he was already at the crime scene long before Chen Can arrived, giving him ample time to commit the crime. Finally, Ou Ranyu had long been dissatisfied with the two men, which gave him a motive for committing the crime. In summary, Ou Ranyu was a traitor.
Chen Can was quite satisfied with his analysis.
"It's time to go." Ou Ranyu interrupted him, "They did this."
It’s “they” again.
"Okay, got it." Chen Can said casually, "You should tell me how to leave here."
"Kill them all here." Ou Ranyu said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen here."
Chen Can looked at his black face without any facial features. He clearly had no expression, but he spoke in a serious tone, which was inexplicably funny.
"Then do you know how to kill?" Chen Can asked.
"I don't know." Ou Ranyu answered seriously.
Chen Can couldn't hold it in any longer, and it was as if he hadn't said anything at all after talking for a long time.
Forget it, Ou Ranyu’s words are not credible anyway.
"Can you help move them out?" Chen Can invited Ou Ranyu into the house.
"No, I won't move." Ou Ranyu refused.
Chen Can couldn't get angry either, so he had to move them out by himself. After finally moving the two people out, Chen Can suddenly found that the scenery outside the door had turned into the scenery inside the door, and the change only took a moment.
Chen Can glanced at Ou Ranyu. He was still standing there alive. It was only the scenery that had changed. Chen Can opened the door of the room again. The scenery inside had become the same as before.
"If you don't want to move, you won't move." Ou Ranyu looked at Chen Can coldly.
It was rare for Chen Can to detect a hint of sarcasm in the words.
It turns out to be a traitor!
