"However, this mission won't be too difficult."
Zhuang Yu, in a relieved tone, told them that the difficulty of the Horror Space is determined by the number of participants. The beginner's session has as few as ten people and as many as thirty people. This time there were only fourteen people, so the difficulty was on the lower end.
Suddenly, a voice rang out from among the newlyweds:
"But boss, there are only thirteen of us here."
Upon hearing this, the burly man frowned and pointed at each person, confirming that there were indeed only thirteen people, including himself!
"Why is one person missing?"
The next second, cold sweat poured down his back.
There's one person missing right from the start. I hope he doesn't run into some kind of special film set!
The burly man gripped the gun tightly, as if it were his own life, calculating his remaining points in preparation to exchange them for life-saving items at any moment. His gaze towards the newcomer also changed.
Like watching a scapegoat...
As we all know, horror movies don't wipe out everyone right away, so as long as a few more people die, the attack can be suppressed.
The newlyweds also sensed the danger.
Several astute individuals, such as the elderly man in the Tang suit, quietly moved a little further away from the burly man.
"I'm not a problem either!"
Ling Xiao, who had been listening intently for a long time, finally raised her hand and spoke up. It's understandable; it's natural to feel a little melancholy when returning to familiar places.
So many years have passed, and the Horror Space still follows the same rules, without any upgrades or updates.
No wonder they've never been able to grow into a major player.
There have been changes, haven't there?
Ling Xiao began to wonder if he had simply knocked the core of the terrifying space senseless and found an agent to act as the apparent controller, so that any mission participants who resisted could be thrown out as scapegoats to prevent a repeat of the past.
This method is good.
But what kind of thing is it looking for?
They couldn't even control their simple desires, treating everything like a game, believing that the taskers didn't have their own thoughts and would blindly follow orders.
He's definitely been knocked senseless.
Ling Xiao made her conclusion.
…………
This way
The burly man frowned and looked toward the source of the sound. He saw a little girl, about seven or eight years old, holding an ice cream and eating it, looking around with innocent curiosity.
Upon closer inspection, you'll find that the ice cream is being sold by a shop on the street.
They could also hear the loudspeaker—
It's on sale! It's on sale!
Three for ten yuan!
"Did you just go buy ice cream?"
The burly man said incredulously, his thick, dark eyebrows twitching.
There's a protective shield inside the horror movie set, where people from the outside will ignore them.
Generally speaking, those without tasks will voluntarily go out before the designated time.
On the one hand, they cherish the last moments of peace; on the other hand, they can use this time to observe their surroundings and analyze the situation as quickly as possible.
Ling Xiao nodded indifferently and even took a bite of ice cream.
It's cantaloupe flavored.
Although it was on sale, the taste was pretty good.
Everyone understood.
The situation is very simple.
The youngest newcomer was the first to wake up and then went to buy ice cream, so it makes perfect sense that they didn't notice someone was missing.
Bullshit!
What seven or eight-year-old child, finding themselves in an unfamiliar place, would go and buy ice cream?
Although he was both angry and annoyed, the burly man had to admit that he was relieved. It was good that it wasn't a special film set. Thanks to this, and seeing that it was almost time, he didn't bother to make things difficult for the little girl.
Of course, there won't be any special treatment.
What a joke! In a place like Horror Space, there's no respect for the elderly or children; he himself can barely protect himself.
He coldly tossed out a sentence:
"Stay close to the group, or no one will care if you die."
Too young, behaving childishly, and doesn't seem like a prodigy. This kid will probably die in the first wave...
Suddenly, another question popped into his head: where did this little girl get the local currency to buy her ice cream?
He shook his head again, not caring whether it was stolen or how it came about; it was none of his business.
Ling Xiao: ...It's very simple. I just grabbed the ice cream and ran into the protective shield.
Then you won't be able to find me.
Not long after, the protective shield disappeared.
The burly man, looking alert, led the group running towards the first plot location. Their speed gradually increased, and the newcomers split into several groups due to physical strength and other factors.
Everyone gritted their teeth and kept up.
They all knew this could also be a selection process.
Li Peng was in good physical condition and easily followed behind the burly man. After running around a street corner, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the little girl was lagging behind at the back of the group.
There was quite a distance between them and the person in front of them.
In that case... perhaps a little girl who speeds up will completely fall behind the group.
If you can't find the location in the story, you'll die.
A pang of pity flashed through his mind. His cousin was the same age, and they had eaten zongzi together a few days ago during the festival. She was being spoiled and insisted on eating only the salted egg yolk, refusing to eat the glutinous rice.
I exercise regularly, and the little girl doesn't look very heavy...
"If you want to live, don't worry about it."
Suddenly, a burly man's calm voice rang in Li Peng's ears. He was startled, his breath caught in his throat, and he heard:
"You're quite capable; you have a chance of surviving in the terrifying space, but don't even think about becoming a savior." The burly man let out a long breath, tilted his head, and smiled.
"You feel you still have the capacity, and you think it's okay to help out?"
"Have you thought about what you would do if you encountered danger? If you help someone, you will be short of energy, and your chances of survival will be greatly reduced."
"The final result is that they both die!"
"In a terrifying space, the most useless thing is sympathy and pity. You shouldn't have any normal human emotions. Only in this way can you survive here."
At this point, the burly man seemed to remember something, and his voice was filled with complex emotions.
As Li Peng listened, he felt as if every word had struck his heart. In the end, he nodded silently, quickened his pace, and stopped looking at what was behind him.
He struggled internally and said:
"I'm sorry, I'd rather live."
