At the moment of jumping up, Old Eggplant seemed to catch a glimpse of a dark shadow crawling into the closet, and the movement under the bed suddenly disappeared.

His muscles were sore all over, as if he had just swam dozens of times in the water. As soon as he relaxed, he could lie down and fall asleep.

In the dark room, Old Eggplant felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

Because a line of text appeared in his field of vision.

【Mission failed】

Old Eggplant knew that the appearance of this line of words not only meant that his mission this time had failed, but also that he would not be threatened for the time being.

After all, theoretically speaking, it's game over, which means you're dead, and dead people can't be attacked.

Thinking of this, Old Eggplant suddenly relaxed.

He lay there for a while, waiting until his body was rested enough and no longer tense, before jumping out of bed.

"How can I start over? I can only exit and enter again?"

Old Eggplant didn't quite understand, but, now that he was dead, he was still somewhat curious about what he had just felt.

He turned on the light in the room, walked to the closet and opened it.

It was a bit messy inside, completely different from what he had just seen, as if it had been rummaged through by a thief.

"Did you really crawl out of the closet just now?"

Old Eggplant picked up a piece of clothing that he had just thrown into the closet to cover up the printed clothing.

He saw that the dress with the eye print was placed neatly in the corner of the closet.

However, the print on the clothes disappeared.

Old Eggplant felt a chill in his heart, as if it was just as he expected.

"What was next to me just now was in this dress?"

He fumbled and took out the clothes.

At this time, Old Eggplant discovered that what was not visible in the dark just now was that the clothes were dark red and unevenly colored, as if a basin of ink had been splashed on them.

The red color made people feel uneasy, just like solidified blood. As for the pattern on the clothes, it was obvious that a piece was missing, as if the figure on the clothes had crawled out by itself.

Old Eggplant's heart tightened and he quickly threw away the clothes and closed the closet door, not wanting to take another look at it.

He turned his attention to under the bed.

"Even if there is something under the bed now, it can't hurt me."

Old Eggplant then boldly approached the bed, squatted down, held the edge of the bed, and looked under the bed.

There was nothing there.

There were only traces of something crawling on the dust. That thing seemed to have many legs, and it was moving haphazardly on the dust, leaving a mess.

Old Eggplant followed the dust line and looked towards the bed board.

There seemed to be some traces there.

When Old Eggplant thought of this, he snapped his fingers subconsciously.

A small flame appeared at his fingertips, illuminating the space under the bed and the bed board.

I saw scratches extending across the bed board.

Those scratches looked like they were made with fingernails, leaving clearly visible marks on the wood that could not be erased.

In an instant, Old Eggplant felt the sharp scratching sound ringing in his ears. He felt something was scratching on his back. A shudder rose from his spine, making him tremble.

【Return starts now】

Cold and indifferent words appeared, and before Old Eggplant could recover from the tingling feeling on his scalp, he returned to the original sea of ​​stars.

In front of him was the door with an ancient shape.

Old Eggplant didn't rush to do it again, but took off his helmet.

There was silence in my room. Apart from the faint sound of the computer running, there was no other sound.

Old Eggplant went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took a sip of the drink. The sweet taste relieved his tension and allowed him to think.

"In Lu Ban's video, there was a doll under the bed, but in what I just experienced, there might be a big spider under the bed? Will the things under the bed change depending on the person?"

“What exactly is that thing in the closet, and where does it go when it leaves the clothes?”

"I think I opened my eyes before I counted enough heartbeats. It was like sleep paralysis. Was it because something in the closet was 'pressing' me?"

Old Eggplant drank Coke while thinking. He walked out of the kitchen and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

Turning on the faucet, he looked at himself in the mirror.

The old eggplant in the mirror looked a little haggard, as if he had just suffered a serious illness.

He wiped his face and rubbed his eyes.

At this time, Old Eggplant discovered that there seemed to be something on his shoulder.

That thing was black, like, like a bug's leg.

"!"

Old Eggplant immediately shook his body, patted his shoulders in a panic, and then looked over there.

He saw a black thing being shaken off his clothes and falling to the ground. He looked closely and it looked like a spider!

As soon as the thing landed on the ground, it quickly swung its hairy legs and crawled quickly along the bathroom floor, and suddenly no one knew where it disappeared to.

"Fuck!"

Old Eggplant felt his scalp tingling. Who knew it was a spider or a cockroach? No, northern cockroaches shouldn't be that big.

After searching for a while, Old Eggplant found that the bug was really gone.

Now the problem is a bit serious.

As we all know, the scariest bug is the one you see and then you can't find it.

He returned to the bedroom and glanced at the helmet.

"Is it because of what I just experienced that I am hallucinating?"

At this time, Lao Qiezi suddenly thought that he could also snap his fingers and start fires in the game. How did the game know?

Is that really a game?

This feeling of reality, even though he has experienced [The Cage], Old Eggplant still can't help but ask himself again.

He decided to put on the helmet and experience it again.

…

[Task requirements: Magic network influence: 152/10000000]

Lu Ban saw the numbers in his field of vision slowly increasing, and he felt that he had probably grasped the essence of this mission.

"It seems that through these players who have awakened certain extraordinary abilities, the influence of the magic network can be increased, and it is not based on the number of people."

Lu Ban only gave thirty-five players the right to experience the "Land of Silence", allowing them to explore the first mission that Lu Ban himself experienced. So far, no one has been able to complete it, but he has already accumulated hundreds of influences.

"It seems that exploring these tasks and increasing the exploration level can also increase a lot of influence."

Lu Ban also discovered some clues.

The exploration level of his initial mission was not high, and it was a choice between three. He didn't know the details of the other two tasks, so he could only make them up based on what he knew now.

But [Friends Under the Bed], what players explore here is worthy of Lu Ban's attention.

He found that the things under the bed would change with different players, but most of them were things they feared, and some were things that the public feared.

"So, that doll back then..."

Thinking of this, Lu Ban lowered his head and looked under the bed.
