Chapter 22 Predicting Three Choices
…
"This is not a horror game, it's a bloody game." Miyakawa Ling twitched his mouth.
The system was dissatisfied: "Miyagawa-kun, you didn't understand the essence! The essence is not killing people, but this dark filter, realistic details, terrifying atmosphere, and most importantly, your sick mental state!"
"... can it be understood that you are scolding me?"
"That's a compliment!! You need to be sick to play horror games!"
"…Thank you for the compliment."
"Hehe! You're welcome!" The system said happily, "I have carefully studied this illusion. Last time you didn't play the game, but you still gained fear points. I thought there might be something wrong with you! So, I shifted the focus of the illusion from the target person to you."
"Um?"
"The data shows that the scariest part of this illusion is your mental state. As expected, the focus is not on the horror of the 'way of death', but on you. I did nothing wrong! The fear value has skyrocketed a lot in an instant! Hehehe!"
Gongchuan Ling: “…”
Ah this.
He glanced at the panel in silence:
[Yamato Nagano: 20 points.]
Ethan: 20 points. 】
"What do you think? Am I super smart? Hehehe!"
Miyakawa Ryo: “Yes…” But his mood was so subtle.
Because this fear value proves that the system is not wrong.
After the focus of terror was changed, the fear value soared sharply - those two people were not afraid of this bloody death, but of him.
Being frightened by two criminals like this, Miyakawa Ling's feelings are really... hard to describe.
He did not forget what the system said last time, that horror games should be "inexplicable and beyond common sense", and that the "fear of seeing a murderer" and the "fear of seeing a ghost" cannot be compared.
So now...what is he doing?
A combination of a murderer and a ghost?
The system was still boasting: "This is just the first step... Wait two days, hehe!"
"What happened in two days?"
"Hehe, hehe, hehe!"
“……”Okay.
"System, the fear value is now over 50 points." I didn't expect it to be so easy.
System: "The host's current fear value is detected to be 67 points, opening the [Predictable Three Choices] panel."
A transparent panel appeared in front of Miyakawa Ling, displaying three options.
After taking a quick look, he didn't rush to think about how to use these options. Instead, he asked the system: "If I accumulate enough fear points, can I choose the one I want from the three options one day?"
Assuming that each of the three choices is a card, if he doesn't want to choose any of the three this time, can he change the card?
If Gongchuan Ling didn't mention it, the system wouldn't say it actively, but if Gongchuan Ling mentioned it, the system wouldn't hide it: "This function that the host wants requires a thousand points of fear value. Come on! Hehehe!"
One thousand points... At this rate of increase, it’s not that much.
I don’t think I’ll get it within half a month.
However, having foresight should be enough to participate in the so-called "game" of code-name members.
As he thought about it, he took out a small piece of paper from his pocket.
Miyakawa Ling took out a pen and drew a black moon on it. Then, he squatted down, put it next to the "corpse", and pressed it down with a small stone.
After doing all this, Miyakawa Ling turned around and looked at the man who was killed by him in the illusion but was actually knocked unconscious by him on the ground.
Although this man was the target of the organization and judged by the system to be saved, he was different from the previous three people. He was a person who had committed many evil deeds and deserved to be put to death.
Miyakawa Ling suddenly pointed the gun at the man.
"?" The system was startled: "What are you going to do?"
“Now, ostensibly he’s dead, it’s impossible for the police to catch him, and if he’s still alive, it’ll only hurt more people.”
The system was a little confused. It wasn't that it questioned Miyakawa Ling's statement, but... Miyakawa Ling said this suddenly, and the rational murderous intent revealed in his words made it a little unable to react.
"Miyagawa-kun, your mission is to save him. If you kill him now, your mission will fail and your fear value will not count."
Gongchuan Ling put down the gun: "That's true."
"Also, please rest assured! Horror games are very harmonious and have a normal outlook. Everyone will say they are good games after playing them. We have already prepared for this situation. From now on, he will be locked up in the 'Prison of Reflection' until the game is over and I leave the host. Then he will be released. By that time, everyone's memory of him will be modified and perfected!"
Gongchuan Ling exclaimed: "This is great! Then I can send him to jail!"
"Really?" The system said proudly: "I told you, our horror game is an awesome game!"
Gongchuan Ling clapped in agreement, and then changed the subject: "If I save someone who wants to stay with me, can he stay with me and help me?"
System: "Of course! But he needs to sign an agreement."
"protocol?"
"The Red and Black Code, in simple terms, means 'don't do anything that might affect the main plot'. After signing the agreement, Ghost-kun can stay with Miyakawa-kun. Even if he wants to change the main plot, he will be forced to fail."
The figure of the man on the ground became transparent and then disappeared. Gongchuan Ling knew that he had been locked up in jail by the system.
"What's the main plot?"
"Any game has a main plot, and horror games are no exception. Miyakawa-kun can explore it slowly! This cannot be told to you!"
"I understand. Thank you, System-kun."
“Hehehehe!”
After finishing the conversation with the system, Miyakawa Ling added the "main line" to the goals he needed to explore.
The only clue at the moment is "red and black", which he has some guesses about, but the details still need to be verified.
Miyakawa Ryo took off his coat, folded it, and walked out of the bushes.
Behind him, the body, no longer able to be seen, lay in a pool of blood.
——If the real man disappears, the area affected by the illusion will become the whole world.
Until the end of this game, the man will be just this corpse in everyone's eyes.
…
"You guys evacuated very quickly. You didn't even need me to remind you."
When Miyagawa Ryo returned to his two teammates, his coat was gone.
Ethan Bentang found that there was no smell of blood on him, and he didn't know how he managed it in such a short time.
Yamato Nagano stood at a distance and did not speak.
"What's wrong? Both of you look so unhappy?" Gongchuan Ling opened the map on his phone and reminded happily: "We should go to the next mission location. The next target... let's choose him."
The two simply nodded without saying a single extra word.
Miyakawa Lingxin said that the increase in fear value was quite obvious.
"What's wrong with you?" He pretended to be confused.
"..." After a brief silence, Ethan Bentang asked: "Next target, what do you need us to do?"
"Of course! You are very important to me!" Miyakawa Ling looked eager to try: "I have thought of three new ways to die, and I am waiting for you to choose! New performances, both of you, please look forward to it!"
“……”Two people.
So, at the beginning, when Yu Renling said "tickets to the show", was this what he meant?
They gave him three choices, and he asked them to watch the "performance".
——I don’t want to watch it at all!
Standing here and not running away is the greatest respect for the organization!
This guy is not a human at all!
"Hurry up, hurry up..." Miyakawa Ling showed the time on his phone to the two of them: "It's already twelve o'clock, and there are still three targets to go."
"With two people dying in a row, they must have been on guard. The more people there are, the easier it is to be discovered," said Ethan Bentang.
You can do it alone, so don't let us go!
"What does it matter? Mr. Nagano was assassinated, and so was I. It will take some time for Mingye to find out!"
Miyakawa Ling argued: "Besides, the villains often lose to the protagonists because they fight alone. We can't repeat the mistakes of our predecessors!"
“……”What a mess.
However, Gongchuan Ling's attitude was very clear. They couldn't run and could only follow him.
The two of them cursed in their minds at the same time, not daring to say a word, and resigned themselves to following.
Three hours later, they saw with their own eyes that Miyakawa Ling held a small dagger and used terrifying force to chop off the limbs of his next target.
——It can’t be said to be shocking. After all, this option was a normal option that they reluctantly chose from the three options.
But the scene was still too extreme, and even though they were used to seeing death, they still almost vomited.
It was obvious that the murderer was Gongchuan Ling, and the victims were members of the Mingye Society. They did nothing, but they were the ones who suffered the most. They almost fainted while standing there.
It's really not that they can't endure psychologically. Anyone... would be scared to death seeing this kind of scene, especially the executioner's sunny, gentle, and happy smile.
Moreover, the dead man was one of the two most difficult targets, and he was just lured out and killed by this young man who looked young and gentle.
His entire person, from his IQ to his speech, skills, and mental state, is like a bomb with a crazy countdown, making people want to escape at all costs.
Ethan Bentang already regretted coming to Group X. Although he couldn't get any important information by being undercover in other groups, at least he could slowly lurk around!
Coming to Group X, he really doubted that he would die in his first mission! Or crazy!
This is simply spiritual pollution!
If Ethan Bentang's original vigilance against the organization was 120%, now it is 200%!
——What kind of monster did the organization cultivate!
"Mr. Nagano, let's use the FBI to take him down," Ethan Hondou said firmly.
Nagano Yamato said in a hollow voice: "I have already alerted the FBI, but... can they really kill Yu Ren Ling?"
There was no trace of the initial arrogance and disdain in his words.
Ethan Hondou: "I hope... FBI, can give me some help."
The only thing to be thankful for now is that three targets died in succession. Even if it was an assassination, the Mingye Society had noticed it and increased their vigilance.
The next target will not be found in a short time.
It's time for the FBI to act!
…
On the other hand, not long ago, the FBI found the second dead man.
The bloodiness of the scene made them terrified.
Judy took two photos and sent them to Shuichi Akai.
One is a picture of a dead body.
The other one is that small piece of paper.
