Chapter 21: "Father and Son" An interesting cult story...
The setting sun faded and the sky gradually darkened.
The butler and the giant baby both left, but before they left, the malicious look from each other gave people a bad feeling.
Without worrying about his shoes, Zhuci looked at the others and asked, "What happened?"
Yang Zecheng told Zhuci his story.
Zhu Ci thought about it and had a bad guess in his mind. He said, "Tonight, if I stay in the room all the time, I may not be able to spend it safely."
"Why?" Yang Zecheng asked.
"The nature of the storytelling has changed, and you saw the look in that guy's eyes," Zhuci said.
"Yes, tonight, we will be chased by a figure. Moreover, the door of the room may be broken open violently." Mo Anan suddenly spoke, she lowered her eyes, a little uneasy.
"How do you know?" Fang Yu asked.
"This is my talent." Mo Anan said vaguely.
There are many talents that can give us this information, and it is impossible to pinpoint just one.
There was no need for Mo Anan to deceive them. If the information in this sentence was true, then they would be in danger.
Not only was he worried about the murderous figure, he was also worried about the dangers inside the manor and even outside the manor.
Suddenly, Xu An remembered something.
"We didn't have lunch this afternoon." He turned and looked in the direction of the manor, but was surprised to find that the door of the house was closed.
"Brother Ci! The door is closed!"
Everyone looked towards the door, and it was indeed closed.
Zhuci asked: "What time is it?"
Xu thought to himself, "It's already past six o'clock."
Is six o'clock the time to close the gate? No wonder the giant baby suddenly changed the place to listen to the story.
If it was the flowerbed outside, they would not only have to face ghosts, but also the chasing figure.
Who knows how scary the flowerbed is at night?
Several players subconsciously had props in their hands.
Congratulations: "..."
He was silent.
[“Hahaha, you’re isolating the newcomers, huh?”
"It's so funny, the host doesn't have any special props."
"How pitiful, how pitiful, hahaha, even Xu An has it. Come to think of it, did he really only pass one instance? It looks like it takes a lot of effort to get the red and white candles."
"How come newbies enter this dungeon when it's so difficult? I've gone through four dungeons and I feel like this one is a little winding and difficult."】
…
Xu An looked at him and took the initiative to give him the red candle.
Zhu Ci shook his head: "No need." He had a slingshot in his hand that he could use... to play with.
"Really? Brother Ci, then you can follow us later and we will go together."
Zhu Ci had no comment. He looked down at Li Hang, who seemed to have recovered but was still a little dazed, and asked, "Is he okay?"
"Brother Ci, do you still care about him? He was the one who moved you to the back."
"One more person means one more guarantee." Zhuci said.
Li Hang was just frightened, and it shouldn't be a big deal after he recovers. He took some medicine and stood up with a pale face.
"I'm fine," he said.
…
As night fell, rustling sounds were heard all around.
The mist had disappeared, revealing the flower beds without any shelter. The cool night breeze blew over, bringing with it a rotten and burnt smell, but no floral scent.
Zhuci moved closer to the rose flower.
Zhang Xiaowei said she would help them, so this area of roses should be safe, at least before 11 o'clock.
Other players subconsciously followed his lead.
As they approached Rose, the wall suddenly lit up with a layer of flames.
Except for the speech, everyone else stepped back.
A little girl appeared in front of them.
She looked very scary at night. Her whole body seemed to be made of burnt coals. Only her eyes were green, which were living eyeballs at least.
"What the hell!" Xu An hid behind Zhu Ci in fear.
"It's okay, she's safe." Zhuci said.
"There are too many people." Zhang Xiaowei glanced at them, unable to see their expressions clearly, but she was a ghost after all, and there was no ghost in the game that would not torment the players.
"What should we do?" Several players looked at each other.
They believed Zhuci's words that this ghost was safe, and they also realized that the extra one would probably be kicked out.
Zhu Ci was about to speak when Xu An held him back: "Brother Ci, you can't be too kind."
He looked at Li Hang and said, "You veteran players should have the ability to save your lives. If you want to keep it, give Brother Ci some points."
Congratulations: "..."
Several players were unexpectedly happy.
"Is five hundred enough?"
Five hundred is already a lot for an ordinary player who doesn't broadcast live.
Li Hang said: "I'll give you a prop."
Items? If you get them from a dungeon, they are worth more than points.
The reason why he was so generous was probably because he felt excluded by his teammates and his current condition was indeed not very good.
Zhu Ci watched him hand over a thin piece of iron.
"What a piece of broken iron." Xu An said unhappily, "You all stay here, so are you going to let Brother Ci go?"
Zhu Ci took it and looked at it.
[Name: Blade of the Despair
Grade: B
Features: Although it is just a piece of broken iron, it is stained with the blood of desperate people. It is not surprising that it can kill a ghost.
Note: Cherish your blood. Even if you don’t drink blood, it is still a qualified piece of iron. 】
It still looks like a double-edged sword, but if it can be used to deal with ghosts, it is a good item.
Zhu Ci happened to be lacking a short-range attack weapon, so he took it.
"Zhu Ci, you're not really planning to go out by yourself, are you?" Fang Yu frowned.
"I think we can still stand together in this situation, right?" Zhu Ci looked at Zhang Xiaowei.
"Yes, but they need a sacrifice." Zhang Xiaowei's cold voice sounded.
Another sacrifice?
Zhu Ci seemed to have thought of something and took out the booklet he had picked up from the basement.
He opened it again and found a page in the middle that he could understand.
The graphics on that page changed.
The black shadow transformed into a black hand, reaching out from the muddy black soil and dragging a human figure down until he fell into the abyss.
Zhu Ci watched quietly, he seemed to see the human figure falling continuously, that human figure was exactly his own appearance.
He screamed and wailed in pain at first, then became exhausted and could no longer make any sound. His body kept falling down, and the strange lights and strange things on both sides were a microcosm of the most terrifying thing in his heart.
I watched helplessly as the only point of light disappeared, I lost my landing point, and fell to the ground without a bottom. Faces with green faces and fangs surrounded me, dancing with me, and sinking into the abyss together.
It turns out that "I" have been in the devil's palm for a long time, and now I have been swallowed into his stomach, smelling and rotting.
…
"Brother Ci!"
"Congratulations!"
Zhu Ci came back to his senses, and the dark area in his eyes disappeared, replaced by the light of flames.
He felt a large area of his right cheek was wet, probably because the danger just now triggered his talent.
It is indeed a dangerous book.
"I'm fine." Zhu Ci put the book away.
The people around him looked at him, and quite a few of them were concerned.
Congratulations: "..."
"I'm glad you're okay. What was that just now?" Mo Anan asked.
"Oh, an interesting cult story." Zhu Ci answered casually.
Mo Anan stopped asking.
As time passed, they stood together, waiting for danger to appear.
The sky is full of dark clouds. Humans have an innate fear of the dark night. The things lurking in the darkness, together with the terrifying fantasies in the hearts of humans, issue a death notice to them.
Yang Zecheng suddenly said: "It's all my fault. I didn't tell the story well."
"It's okay. Now that you say that, I should apologize." Mo Anan said.
Fang Yu said: "I will tell you tomorrow."
Zhu Ci looked outside and said, "Here they come."
First, there is the sound, the kind that makes your scalp tingle, like the sound of cloth rubbing against cloth slowly, or like the sound of countless insects breaking out of the ground, or the sound of someone scratching your scalp secretly, mixed with the weird laughter of some unknown animal.
The pervasive stench in the air gradually deepened, as if the smell of a rotting corpse surrounded them, so rotten and smelly.
Then the things that are seen change.
The clouds on the horizon lifted up a corner strangely, revealing a rose-red sky, and a demon with goat horns could be seen grinning faintly. The red light shone on the earth, but it did not reduce the darkness of the night, but instead added a bloody smell.
Obviously, a dark and evil illusion descended upon them in a cruel way. Perhaps all of this was just a game of evil gods or a trick of the devil, but for the players, it was a real death notice.
The scenes between heaven and earth are reflected in their pupils.
It wasn't even 11 o'clock yet, but it already felt like hell.
I glanced around and realized that this kind of scene can't be seen even in the most well-funded 3D games. The atmosphere here is really good.
"Really... we don't have to pry the door open?" Xu asked secretly.
Zhu Ci said: "Yes, you can go and try it."
Being alone now is challenging my own heart and my fragile life.
"That's still not the case."
Zhu Ci didn't mean to stop him from going, but he didn't know which place was more dangerous, the manor or the outside world.
"Zhu Ci, aren't you afraid?" Mo Anan asked curiously.
"Afraid." Zhu Ci said this, but his tone was very cold, and his eyes did not change at all, but tears kept flowing from his right eye.
"Really?"
"Yeah." Although Zhu Ci did not show it, it was the first time for him to encounter such a strange thing. However, in a game, there always needs to be a brave person, and he never showed his uneasiness.
"Are you sure it's you?" Zhang Xiaowei suddenly asked.
Zhu Ci looked at her and knew that she was talking about the one who would leave later.
He glanced at his teammates with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
What are the alternatives?
"I'll go." Fang Yu suddenly spoke.
