Chapter 60: Twins 25 Mission Halfway Completed
Although the ceremony was not completed, Zhuci stood at the original position of the sword and had a vague sense of the sword's position.
He is now half a swordsman.
The reason why Andy was asked not to be discovered so early was so that the ceremony could proceed normally, even if it was only halfway completed.
As the ceremony progressed, they gained a new memory about the nanny of this instance. However, since they did not complete the ceremony, they only had half of the memory.
Due to an urgent order, the people above gathered a group of children mixed with pollution sources in a nursery and sent some skilled exorcists to prevent the spread of evil pollution. At first, they thought that these children only needed simple exorcism rituals to drive out the evil spirits in their bodies, but in the process, they gradually discovered that the souls of these children were being taken away by the devil, and they would eventually end up unable to reincarnate.
So they killed these children at the last minute, snatching them away from the devil's mouth through death, but they were also cursed by the evil spirits. The original nanny also fell into an endless nightmare and underwent strange changes.
If this memory is true, it can explain why so many children are brutally murdered, but childcare workers still feel guilty about the children.
There was also a warning written in red and black not to make the child cry.
The childcare workers feel guilty about the children who have not been contaminated and want to make amends. However, they hate the contaminated children because of the pain they themselves have suffered, and they will stop at nothing to achieve this goal.
The difference between the official employees and NPC nannies here is that the official employees were not originally nannies, but real exorcists, while the other nannies were really nannies originally.
However...
Even if they knew this, it would not help the mission at all, because exploration is just an extra bonus, and their mission is to survive.
Moreover, this part of the memory is incomplete and does not include what happened after the curse and why these children underwent such special changes.
The most important thing is the ghost baby and the twins.
Zhu Ci half-knelt down, and from his heart outward, he felt a little pain in all his internal organs. Meng Yuanzhou and Mo Yangbing probably felt a little weak as well.
"Are you okay?"
"No." He bit his lower lip. He had never felt such pain before, so he felt a little coquettish.
"By the way, if we gave all the nanny uniforms to the puppet and the sword was not stolen, what would happen if the ceremony was completed?" Mo Yangbing asked.
The blessing speech said: "You will die. When the ceremony is completed, the whole group will be destroyed."
Yes, when the blood vessels follow the sword and enter the hollow body of the puppet, but the puppet is destined to corrupt, then the puppet becomes a time bomb. When the puppet loses the ability to stand, the bomb is detonated, the copy explodes and restarts, and the player is killed.
Total destruction...
Mo Yangbing was stunned for a moment. Before he could ask why, he heard Meng Yuanzhou ask a question with a conditional substitution: "What if only the sword was stolen and there was no nanny?"
"There are parts that we haven't had time to explore, but without a nanny, players may not be able to make it to the end." Zhu Ci stood up and Mo Yangbing helped him up. In addition to the feeling of their strength being drained away, they actually felt an inexplicable power in their bodies.
There were loud noises coming from outside.
"Let's go."
It's time to leave.
When he reached the door, Zhu Ci looked back. The basement was empty. The dense roots covered the room, like a dragnet waiting for prey.
Apart from that, it was eerily quiet.
The corpses and broken puppets scattered all over the ground sank silently into the grave, becoming nourishment for the blood vessels.
"What's wrong? Are you still reluctant to give it up?"
"It's okay..." Zhu Ci turned around and subconsciously looked at the empty space beside him.
How foolish it is to sacrifice oneself and have a sword pierce through the heart.
…
There were sounds of a fierce fight in the corridor.
Most of the doors were open.
Zhuci glanced at the time, it was eleven forty, with only four minutes left.
Meng Yuanzhou said: "Follow me."
Li Xiaoyan cooperated with him, and if they were separated, they could sense each other's position through a prop.
Even without Meng Yuanzhou, Zhuci knew the general direction.
Suddenly they started running.
Congratulations: "..."
[“The host looked helpless. Hahahaha. He didn’t want to run away.”
"It can be seen that the anchor is trying hard to keep up. Wow, he is starting to overtake? So strong?"
"It's so funny, you guys are just idiots. You didn't make any technical comments at the critical moment, and you just laughed at the host."】
…
"Congratulations!"
When they were about to reach the front desk, they met Wu Yi.
"You are finally here. Let me tell you, just now... these players suddenly joined forces and fought with the nanny NPC who suddenly appeared." Wu Yi said.
Zhuci's eyes fell on the red silk threads around him.
Although the threads are messy, they are always extending in one direction.
Mo Yangbing and Meng Yuanzhou's focus was... ghosts!
They can see ghosts.
A hand emitting black energy was hugging Wu Yi's leg. A strange dark face popped out from behind Wu Yi, smiling with saw-like teeth.
A stream of black gas emerged from the child and seeped into Wu Yi's body bit by bit.
Like a silent whisper.
"Join us, join us."
Mo Yangbing was stunned for a moment, his sanity value dropped rapidly, and he quickly looked away.
I have mentioned this in the background of the memory I just got. Pollution can spread, not because of the ghost energy, but because of the contract with the devil.
"Get out of the way!" Meng Yuanzhou "snapped" a piece of talisman paper and hit Wu Yi's leg hard, scaring him.
"What, what happened?" Wu Yi was very scared.
His talisman is of very high grade and can kill with one strike.
"It's okay, there's a ghost... Hey? Zhuci?" Before Meng Yuanzhou could finish his words, Zhuci ran past him, bringing up a gust of cold wind.
"It's too late." Mo Yangbing said.
It's almost forty-four now.
Meng Yuanzhou and Wu Yi also caught up quickly.
Along the way, they seemed to be surrounded by ghosts.
The closer you get to the stone statue, the more ghosts there are.
Meng Yuanzhou frowned, looking uneasy. One or two of them would be scary enough, but seeing them in such a pile was a bit disgusting.
And why were they able to see ghosts...most likely it was the ceremony just now.
Zhuci ran to the side of the statue.
Li Hongmei and several nannies have already started a fight with Andy and other players.
Li Xiaoyan was standing outside watching. When she saw them coming, she asked, "You guys came too late. You didn't even tell me where you were going to help?"
Li Hongmei had a face as fair as gold paper, but she was able to tie with Andy, and was even slightly better than Andy.
If these ghost babies hadn't deliberately dragged her back, Li Hongmei might have been very scary when she exploded.
Even Andy's expression became more serious.
But it was less than a minute, so he wouldn't make any mistakes.
Zhu Ci sensed the location of the sword, and a pair of pale hands slowly climbed up the stone statue.
"Up there!" Zhu Ci called out.
Li Hongmei's eyes were bloodshot, and she and other nannies chanted together to try to stop it.
But this also gave Andy and other players an opportunity to take advantage.
Zhu Ci stepped forward to block a few attacks and protected Li Hongmei from them.
Li Hongmei: "Don't worry about me! The sword above!"
However, there was no way, Andy had taken the opportunity to take over the ghost baby's position and inserted the sword into the hand of the stone statue.
At 23:44.
"It's over, it's all over..." Li Hongmei's eyes were filled with tears of blood.
Zhu Ci supported her and said, "It's okay. I can get it back."
"No, there's no chance, Zhuci, that child, protect him, that child..."
Her bright red eyes were filled with two lines of bloody tears, and her words, each word uttered in tears, were like a terrible curse.
Zhuci was grabbed by her hand and just nodded calmly: "Thank you."
At 23:44, everything here is quietly changing.
The nanny's face was twisted into an expression of pain, but she completely disappeared from here.
Zhuci still kept his hand raised. He glanced at his wrist and felt a strong wind blowing past his ears.
The players behind him are attacking him.
Zhu Ci dodged it easily by turning his head, rolled his eyes slightly, and punched him in the abdomen.
The player took a step back, bent over and covered his stomach.
…
Meng Yuanzhou, who was watching everything from the side, grabbed Wu Yi's hand and sighed: "Do you think he was acting?"
"Did he act very realistically?" Li Xiaoyan asked, hugging her chest.
There was no expression on his face during his congratulatory speech.
Wu Yi shouted, "Why don't you help him?"
"Won't someone believe it now?" Meng Yuanzhou tilted his head to look at him.
"What?" Wu Yi was a little confused.
His speech was emotionless, so it was hard to tell what he was like. Even if he didn't act like it, it made people wonder if it was his true reaction.
However, the speech did not stop Andy's intention, and it can even be said that he contributed to everything that happened now.
When the sword was thrust outward into the hand of the statue,
Everyone felt a strange change. The stone statue seemed to be more vivid. The system even issued a reminder: [The mission progress is more than halfway. Please continue to work hard. ]
The surrounding space becomes even more gloomy.
The players who were still fighting were so shocked by the scene before them that they were speechless.
Everyone can see ghosts.
The children all raised their heads and gave them a standard weird smile.
Countless smiling faces surrounded them, as if they were replicas of fear.
The players were so scared that they wanted to run out, but there seemed to be no end in sight.
They all turned their eyes to Andy.
Andy was standing next to the ghost baby at this moment, lighting a cigarette with a cold expression.
There aren't any real children here, so there shouldn't be anyone who can't stand the smell of smoke.
