This time the noise was not as loud as the previous times, but very slight. If Ruan Jiyan was not a full-time water player, he might not have heard anything at all.
A biting coldness suddenly spread throughout Ruan Jiyan's body, bringing with it an ignorant fear.
"Wait a moment." Ruan Jiyan said to Li Mingyue in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Jiyan suddenly interrupted her, then spoke to her carefully in a low voice, and she also became nervous.
[What's wrong? What did our newbie find?]
[Still calling her Xiao Mengxin, I'm going to change my words and call her sister.]
[I hope she was just frightened. I also said that I really wanted them to come back safely, which means that the copy after the bug occurred is not unsolvable by death.]
[You're right, I hope so too!]
After that slight movement, there was no sound for a moment. Then a few minutes later, the sound started again, like a broadcast that was about to start.
I was walking alone on a path in the suburbs...
The fog was so thick that I couldn't see the direction...
The lyrics have changed. Before I couldn't see the moon, now I can't see the direction.
Not sure what this was hinting at, but the two girls sat up from the bed, their faces filled with tension.
The sound became louder and louder, and the footsteps gradually moved up from the first floor and got closer and closer.
Then there were the sounds of a little girl running, accompanied by giggles.
Ruan Jiyan called out the system: [I want to redeem the props, hurry up. ]
[The system store has been opened for the host to choose from. ]
Ruan Jiyan used 100 life points to exchange for a protective shield, an attack power-enhancing spell and a bottle of healing potion.
[When the player's health points are less than 60, their mental strength will be continuously polluted. When the health points are less than 50, the damage from attacks will be greatly increased. Do you want to continue redeeming? ]
[Exchange.] Ruan Jiyan did not hesitate at all. She exchanged 100 life points, which left her with 74. The item she exchanged could at least protect her from some damage, otherwise she would not have exchanged it.
She had 174 life points in her body, and she could just redeem 100 points, the system kindly reminded her.
Then, a talisman and a bottle of potion emitting green light appeared in Ruan Jiyan's hand.
[The shield will automatically open when the player takes damage. ]
The prompt tone and the knock on the door rang at the same time. Li Mingyue trembled in fear and grasped a long dagger in her hand. Ruan Jiyan became alert instantly.
Although this copy no longer has any missions, the number of deaths has not decreased at all, and danger always comes quietly.
She had a feeling that something was going to happen this time.
There was a sudden loud bang outside the door. Ruan Jiyan quickly got up and opened the door. After opening the door a crack, he saw the little girl giggling.
It's Little Red Riding Hood!
Ruan Jiyan frowned, very puzzled.
Little Red Riding Hood disappeared inexplicitly when they went to her house. She didn't even go with them to her grandmother's house. Why is she here now?
She is still the girl who has been making eerie laughs in the Werewolf Castle, which means she is in cahoots with the werewolves.
Or...she is a werewolf!
[Ding——A werewolf has been detected. Players can do whatever they can to fight the werewolf until it disappears. After completing the task, players will leave the "Horror Werewolf Killing" dungeon. I wish all players good luck. ]
The system task reminder sounded, completely waking Ruan Jiyan up. It turned out that the reason they had no tasks here later was not because there was a bug in the game, but because they had not killed the werewolf yet, so they could not leave the game.
The task of destroying the werewolf is much simpler than destroying Zhang Jing who has turned into a fierce ghost. After all, this copy is just a novice copy.
But there is no guarantee that the difficulty will become higher due to the emergence of unknown bugs.
Bang—bang—
Two more dull noises brought Ruan Jiyan back to her senses. She had just opened the door and saw Little Red Riding Hood seemed to be knocking on Yin An and the others' door.
The final mission of the dungeon appeared. As long as they killed the werewolf, they could leave the dungeon. Choosing to protect themselves now would only delay their death.
Only by taking the initiative can we have a chance of survival. After all, Zhang Jing was killed, so there is always a way to kill Little Red Riding Hood.
After Li Mingyue gave herself some psychological comfort, she stood up and followed Ruan Jiyan and asked her, "What should we do?"
"Let's rescue Yin An and the others, and then work together to kill Little Red Riding Hood." Ruan Ji Yan said to her in a low voice.
"Little Red Riding Hood, why do we have to kill Little Red Riding Hood? Shouldn't we kill the werewolf?" Isn't Little Red Riding Hood the NPC who assigned them the task? Why do we have to kill her?
"Because she is most likely a werewolf." Or maybe Little Red Riding Hood...is long gone, and the werewolf is now dressed like her.
"Little brother, open the door and play a game with me. Hehehehe..." Little Red Riding Hood outside the corridor was still pretending to be a little white rabbit.
The two boys hiding in the room were so nervous that they were afraid that the little girl outside the door would break in at the next second.
Little Red Riding Hood was in high spirits, saying some pernicious words, and knocking on the door harder and harder.
Finally, she saw that the person inside the door ignored her, so she started banging on the door.
Snap—Snap—Bang—
The little man took the ax from somewhere, raised it up and started chopping at the door.
That voice made the four people's hearts drop heavily. Ruan Jiyan and Li Mingyue did not wait any longer and prepared to open the door and go out to confront her face to face.
However, just as they took a step forward, the sound of the door being hacked disappeared instantly.
Both girls felt very uneasy and were eager to help them. The damage would always be greater if four people were involved than if only two.
But as soon as Ruan Jiyan opened the door, he met the eyes of Little Red Riding Hood who was holding the ax outside. There were still some sawdust on the axe. She was stunned for a second, then grinned at Ruan Jiyan.
"Hehehe..." Although her smile was very small, Little Red Riding Hood's mouth stretched to her ears, revealing all her teeth without exaggeration, looking very eerie.
"Hehehe... Sister is very good. She didn't let me knock on the door. Hehehe..." Her eyes looked innocent, but her actions were completely the opposite. If Ruan Ji Yan didn't open this door, then their door would have rung the next second.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Ruan Jiyan asked her in a cold tone.
"Play a game with me, hehehehe..." Little Red Riding Hood's big eyes were sparkling and full of anticipation.
The moment he looked into her eyes, Ruan Jiyan felt as if he had seen a ghost.
[Ahhhhhh, these eyes are so scary.]
[I remember that the night before was also full of singing and dancing. Pah! When I heard the singing and footsteps, the anchor leaned out to check and I saw two red dots on the wall. They looked like eyes glowing red.]
[Is it this little brat? I thought it was a ghost!]
[Have you ever encountered this situation while playing this instance? Now this little brat is no longer Little Red Riding Hood, but a werewolf.]
[When I played the Werewolf dungeon before, the task I left was not like this. I was indeed ignorant.]
[If a bug causes a butterfly effect, the NPCs may not be as powerful as before and they won't be as easy to kill. So, here comes the classic repertoire. Guess whether these players can leave the dungeon alive?]
[I guess so! I will open up Sister Ruan's cloud streaming room in the future, and then I won't have to download dungeons for the rest of my life!]
[Haha, a newbie, isn't it just luckier? This game never depends on luck, only strength.]
[I believed that she would be able to leave alive, because I had a feeling that she was not a simple person.]
"Play Werewolf with me...! Hehehehehe."
“…”
"We don't..." Ruan Jiyan agreed before Li Mingyue could finish her words.
"How do you play? We can play with you." Ruan Jiyan looked down at her and said coldly.
This is just fine.
There are three camps in Werewolf: the good camp, the werewolf camp and the third party camp.
The good guys include civilians, prophets, witches...
There are werewolves in the bad guy camp.
The third camp has hunters. When a hunter dies, he can shoot and kill another person, but the player who chooses him is uncertain, so she prefers to assign the hunter to the third camp.
And she is that hunter.
The werewolf has already self-destructed, so the current situation is completely beneficial to her.
"Ji Yan..." Li Mingyue wanted to persuade her again.
"It's okay. The four of us can't beat her alone." Ruan Jiyan patted her hand and comforted her.
Even if Little Red Riding Hood stabbed someone, three people could still vote her out.
Besides, there is no such possibility, they will definitely kill her.
“Hahahahahahaha!”
All of a sudden, the two people followed Little Red Riding Hood out of the room and walked to the door of Yin An and the others' room, wanting to invite them in, but looking inside the broken door with only a frame left, they could not see the two people.
Ruan Jiyan even put the gun into the system mailbox, ready to take it out at any time.
Yin An and the other person were called out of the bathroom by them, with two knives in their hands trembling.
"Hehehe, brothers and sisters, please play games with me!" Little Red Riding Hood looked at the four people and smiled charmingly.
Finally, five people sat at a long table and began to follow the system prompts.
[It's dark, please close your eyes——]
In an instant, everyone's vision went dark. It wasn't that their vision became dark, but it was as if everyone was forced into a completely dark and enclosed space, unable to see anyone or hear any sound.
They actually separated the people and then attacked them with swords. Ruan Jiyan, who was very confident of victory before, now seemed a little uncertain.
If she was the first person Little Red Riding Hood prepared the knife for, then she would be confident that she could kill Little Red Riding Hood.
But if Little Red Riding Hood chooses to kill the other three first, she cannot guarantee their safety and can only pray that they can cope with it.
Or, will there be a situation like before, where the werewolf becomes a player in the team and uses a disguise to kill people?
Previously, the only attacker in the team was Yujie, and the levels of the others were lower, so it might be difficult to deal with Little Red Riding Hood who was a werewolf.
She stood in the darkness for a long time, waiting for the werewolf to come to her.
The entire space was pure black, like a black hole, greedily swallowing up all light and sound.
The icy air all around enveloped the person, penetrating into the heart along the surface of the body.
The longer time went on, the more worried Ruan Jiyan became.
She didn't know how many of the remaining three were safe now.
More and more people are analyzing the situation for her in the cloud broadcast room, and now this novice copy has completely refreshed the worldview of other players.
[Where did this scene come from? Is this a rhythm that will lead to death?]
[No, it's called a novice dungeon, but this dungeon has the same name as the novice werewolf dungeon except before the Little Red Riding Hood plot mission. It goes off the track later. Could it be that this dungeon is no longer a simple novice dungeon?]
[I remembered a person. Do you remember that "Him"? He said before that there is no absolutely unsolvable plot in this game. All bugs appear to increase the difficulty of the game and to be exploited by players.]
[Is he the number one boss on the Investiture of the Gods who is famous for destroying the game plot and using bugs to pass dungeons?]
[That’s him! I still remember that within less than three months after the game was launched, he had already topped all the charts including the Conferred Gods Chart, the Newcomers Chart, and the Most Popular Chart!]
[Do you think this newbie's style is similar to his sometimes? Could it be that the boss behind this newbie is him?]
[The above person, please stop joking. How can it be like what you said? Don’t flatter a newbie. If your eyesight is not good, go see a doctor. There is a big boss behind her. Why don’t you say that she is the big boss? ]
[No, my friend, don't be so ridiculous. What does this newbie have to do with that top boss? They have nothing to do with each other!]
[Didn’t that boss say he had cancelled his account before? How could he still accept newbies? His news was broadcasted to the whole server at that time!]
The big shot in the eyes of players posted a topic on the day when the game was officially announced to be launched, asking for opinions on the game.
At that time, the game had only released an online announcement, and it had already attracted a large number of players who were eager to try it out. After he posted this topic, players quickly started to create a topic forum.
"This game is different from the PC games I played before. To be honest, I haven't tried this type of game yet. I'm looking forward to it!"
"Horror dungeon game, what a coincidence! I'm a horror game streamer, and I've already played all the horror games on the Internet, so I finally tried my hand at a new game."
"It looks pretty simple from the promotional CG. Give me two months and I can play it through."
…
Countless players were looking forward to the game's launch with a good attitude. Within just one month after the game was launched, the number of players had exceeded 100 million. Everything exceeded the players' expectations, and everyone was looking forward to it getting better and better.
After all, there has never been a game that is so inclusive and open, with so many horror elements, such a large scale, and no mosaics at all.
More than two months after the game was launched, the first person in the entire server to top the newcomer list and the popular list appeared, and then he topped the strongest player list, the merit and reward list, and the god list.
The game’s public screen broadcasts his latest honors every day, and this man once became a powerful figure sought after by players.
He went into dungeons alone every time, and didn't choose to match teammates. But he never showed his face in front of the camera, and no one met him in the game. But every time he came back from a dungeon, he would post game guides in the game discussion area.
Until the third month after the game was launched, this big guy disappeared for almost a month. When he appeared again, he left a last message on the game public screen: I am going to cancel my account. I am sorry for causing trouble to everyone by dominating the charts for so long. Maybe I will come back if you need me in the future. Goodbye...
Since then, the player named "He" has never been seen again.
This completely dark space brought Ruan Jiyan back to the moment when he first entered the dungeon.
So she groped her way forward in the darkness and took two steps. But she couldn't take the third step.
There seemed to be something blocking her in front, but when she stretched out a hand to touch it, she could not touch anything.
After a long, long time, she was unable to take another step forward.
Then, with a bang, she suddenly woke up from a dream as if she had fallen asleep. When she opened her eyes, everyone was sitting at the table, with the same confused expressions on their faces.
[It's dawn, please open your eyes.] The system voice sounded, pulling everyone back to their senses.
[Last night... a player died, and the witch did not save him. The dead player has been hidden, please start voting.]
A player died?
"Someone died..." Li Mingyue said tremblingly.
However, there is no one missing from the table now...
Her crying words were like a huge rock, hitting the hearts of several people that were tense because of the system's words. Bang - in an instant, their hearts were smashed to pieces.
It's the same scene again, and the goal is to find the werewolf among them.
This is not only a torture for the players who are voted for, but also a torture for the voting players.
Voting is also like killing someone. They have no idea whether it is right or wrong, and once the result comes out, it cannot be reversed.
People were so nervous that they became unnatural, and in this situation it was impossible to accurately judge who would be the werewolf.
No one made any move, and the female voice of the system rang again: [Players may begin to speak.]
Speak, speak to prove yourself, this is the only chance in the game to help yourself get rid of suspicion, but no one speaks.
Ruan Jiyan lowered his head, didn't look at anyone, and didn't speak.
She recalled that they seemed to have voted every time before and had never tried not to vote.
Oh, no.
When she first entered the dungeon, she did not vote until the end. It seemed that because she had taken down the ghost hand, there was no punishment in the end.
Yes, Ghost Hand is the NPC with the highest power and damage in this dungeon except for the werewolf, and Ghost Hand is now in her hand.
So if the werewolf is among them, then even if they don't vote, the werewolf has no way to punish them in public because he still has to pretend.
There is no NPC other than the werewolf that can suppress the damage of the ghost hand, so she doesn't have to worry about being punished by any NPC for refusing to vote.
"Needless to say, we can just refuse to vote." She said in a calm voice.
"Why?" Chen Xin asked loudly, puzzled.
Did she want them all to be punished straight away?
"Is it... because Ghost Hand can no longer continue its punishment mission?" Yin An asked her.
"yes."
The ghost hand is now her game prop, so of course she will no longer carry out punishment missions on them.
"Yes! The only creatures that can kill people in this copy are the Werewolf and the Ghost Hand. But now that the Ghost Hand is dead and the Werewolf is in disguise, we don't have to actually send someone to die." Li Mingyue was a little excited. She glanced at Yin An and Ruan Jiyan with a look that seemed to want affirmation.
"So, as long as we don't take any action, the vote will not be completed. The werewolves are in a hurry to kill people, so they won't waste too much time here. It won't be too long before they start killing again."
"So we just have to wait for the second game to start." Ruan Jiyan analyzed a lot, his voice cold and his expression calm.
And she probably knew who the werewolf was going to kill the second time.
But a few minutes later, the system voice rang again: [The second round of the game begins. Please close your eyes before it gets dark.]
After another sound similar to the lights going out, several people returned to the dark and closed space of the first round.
This time, Ruan Jiyan was obviously not so helpless. She stood in the darkness, very calm.
As if waiting for the arrival of an old friend.
Then, a beam of light shone down from above her head, and gradually, a person walked out of the darkness, just like her, walking calmly.
"Sure enough, I was right." Ruan Jiyan looked at the person who came and actually smiled.
"Yin An" also smiled at her, "You are really smart, smarter than others."
He sneered again: "It's a pity that you shouldn't be so smart, because then you might not die."
Many times, his plans were disrupted by this seemingly harmless newbie in front of him.
When he was about to kill a few of them at Little Red Riding Hood's house, he was almost discovered by Ruan Jiyan who suddenly poked his head out to observe. Before he could change his form, he could only quickly hide in the wall.
Later, when the woman wanted to use the crazy ghost's hand to kill them, she killed the crazy ghost with her ghost hand.
He didn't even know that she had already taken the ghost hand into her possession and used it as a prop!
Finally, just now, he thought that a newbie who was less than level five was not a threat at all, but she took advantage of the loophole and did not vote. In the end, one person died, so he had to kill her first, so that no one would mess up his things.
"I have nothing to say. If you want to kill me, just do it." Ruan Jiyan didn't say any more nonsense to him, but urged him to kill himself.
Her attitude surprised him a little.
"There are still people who are anxious to die, so I won't say more."
Yin An's face gradually became distorted, and finally the entire face was twisted into a ball, and then fell to the ground like a piece of dead meat.
The skin and flesh on his body fell off layer by layer, and gradually the long gray-black hair could be seen underneath the skin.
"Leave a last word." His voice became hoarse and rough, and his mouth opened and closed, revealing long, sharp fangs.
Ruan Jiyan didn't say anything, just smiled strangely.
In an instant, the werewolf slightly bent its body and rushed towards her, opening its terrifying mouth as if to swallow her.
…
[It's dawn, please open your eyes.]
[Last night, a player died. Players, please start voting.]
Once again, the four of them sat at the table. This time, the game was more silent than ever.
The expression on Li Mingyue's face was unexpected and a little panicked, and she looked at Ruan Jiyan for help.
Ruan Jiyan looked like he had lost his soul, his eyes were cloudy and unfocused, he just stared at the table without saying a word.
"This time...someone died again!"
