In "Over My Dead Body", all the monsters are not created out of nothing, but have their roots in reality.
Although demons and monsters in games are often mentioned together, they are actually slightly different from each other and together make up the monster system in the game.
Monsters basically refer to plants and animals that have been transformed by spiritual energy. In the game, they are 'scavenging coyotes', 'dire wolves', 'hungry vultures', 'crazy vines', etc. They are often seen in the "?" scenes on the road.
Demons refer specifically to humans. Some humans have eaten some rare fruits, or have become stronger after realizing their spiritual energy, and then they massacre all living things. They kill people to refine their bones, and take their hearts to refine weapons. These people are evil to any living being - especially to elves. They are relatively rare, but once they appear, they are all at the level of small BOSS.
Ghost refers specifically to the resurrected corpse ghosts, which are the most common monsters in the game and basically the main part of the "demon slaying" in the game.
A monster is an inanimate object that has gained intelligence due to the revival of spiritual energy. Many elves belong to this category of monsters, but most monsters will not affect humans. However, like demons, if they really become an enemy, they will at least be at the BOSS level.
For example, in 220, after Guan Yu was killed, the "Green Dragon Crescent Blade" appeared. In the save files that Ren Suo had played before, as long as he went to the Eastern Wu region, he might encounter it in the "?" scene.
As soon as they met, the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade attacked directly, with an attack range of 100, and a single target with four times the critical hit...
Ren Suo highly doubted that this Azure Dragon Crescent Blade could be used for negotiation, or even to form a team and make use of it.
Just like obtaining the 'Jade Pendant of the Goddess of Luo River' from Cao Zhi and unlocking the option of communicating with Concubine Mi, it should be about obtaining a token from someone and unlocking the story mission of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, but Ren Suo still hasn't found it.
The monster that Li Shuanghe was talking about was almost identical to the description of the 'starving ghost' that Ren Suo had seen in the "Family Secret Records".
"Family Secrets" is actually a collection of information about the player's experiences in the game, and is closely related to the "reconnaissance" attribute of the game character.
Moreover, "Family Secrets" are applicable to all save files. As long as you know the monster's weaknesses and attack methods in any save file, the monster's detailed attributes will be automatically displayed even in a new save file.
Among them, the 'starving ghosts' are 'road rage monsters' that exist throughout the early, middle and late stages. You may encounter them at any time when you are on the road.
"Starving ghosts: The fear of hunger and the desire for fullness are like flames burning in their stomachs. The stronger the flames, the stronger the spiritual energy they attract."
"Appearance: No different from an ordinary person, but the nails and teeth are extremely sharp, and the abdomen is completely ulcerated."
"Habits: They like to move at night and will attack all animals. After killing an animal, they will eat the corpse directly. However, no matter how they eat, the meat will fall out of their abdomen, and then they will stuff the fallen meat into their mouths and continue eating. After eating for a long enough time, they will think they are full and find a place to sleep for 3 to 5 days like normal people. When hunger strikes, they will repeat the above actions."
"Source: For ordinary people who starve to death, the chance of alienation is proportional to the time they starve."
"Standard attributes: Attack 1, Defense 0, Move 0, Detection 0, Healing 0."
"Note: Please be merciful and grant them liberation."
The biggest difference between starving ghosts and most other ghosts is that their alienation rate has nothing to do with their physical fitness.
Other ghosts, such as the Hulao Pass ghosts and Yiling evil ghosts, generally have a higher rate of alienation the better their physical fitness. Even the typhoid corpse ghosts caused by the plague are mostly young and strong men.
However, the majority of the starving ghosts are basically elderly people and women.
Most of those who were tortured to death by hunger during the turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms and eventually died were people of this type.
Because most men can earn a living by joining the army, and then sacrifice their lives on a battlefield for someone's ambition.
As for young boys and girls, even if they starve to death, because the alienation rate is proportional to the length of time they suffer from hunger, the pain they endure is not enough for them to take revenge on society.
During the turbulent Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, locust plagues, floods, and droughts occurred one after another. No roosters crowed for thousands of miles, and bones were exposed in the wild. Death by starvation was too common, and starving ghosts were therefore present in almost every part of the Central Plains.
If it were any other monster, Ren Suo might not be able to recognize it the first time, but he had seen the illustration of the starving ghost too many times...
Chen Kun continued to discuss the details with Li Shuanghe, but Ren Suo was no longer interested in listening and felt a little conflicted.
Half an hour later, Yao Fei brought Wu Jianming out. Wu Jianming seemed to have calmed down, with a determined look on his face. I really don't know what kind of special psychological counseling services Yao Fei provided him.
"When you go back, please consider my advice carefully." Yao Fei said to Wu Jianming, then turned to look at Ren Suo and the other man.
"He will be handed over to you next. Please escort him back safely." Yao Fei said, "Although the higher-ups have issued orders to the media, there are always some people who want to be famous and want to expose secrets to attract attention."
"Don't stop on the way, go back directly."
Chen Kun said: "No problem."
Li Shuanghe took the initiative to say: "I'll take you down."
The five of them walked down the stairs and said goodbye at the door of the building. Li Shuanghe said, "Exchange contact information and discuss that later."
"Oh, that's right." Chen Kun said immediately. This conversation, which sounded like a meeting between underground drug dealers, really made Ren Suo look very upset.
He originally thought that the Countermeasures Bureau was composed of a group of honest and steady practitioners.
Soon, he realized that his partner was not.
Not long ago, he knew that Countermeasures Team Three was not it.
Now the second countermeasure team is also most likely not...
Ren Suo thought about it, then walked over to the silent Fang Jun and whispered, "Um, you still haven't found the demon's true form yet?"
Fang Jun shook his head slightly.
“I think you could pay more attention to the homeless people around here.”
Ren Suo said, "People with claws like that are generally rare. If they often go to public places, they are easy to recognize. But if they look sloppy on the street and lie there all day long, they are homeless people who don't know what they are..."
Fang Jun was slightly startled, and secretly thought that it made some sense. When he wanted to thank him, he saw that Ren Suo and the others had already got in the car and left.
"What's wrong?" Li Shuanghe asked when he saw Fang Jun standing still.
"It's okay, I just feel..." Fang Jun said, "That kid just now might be able to join our Countermeasures Team 2."
"The one that was ** to the captain?"
"Yes, yes, that's it..."
————
After finishing a day's work, Ren Suo returned home and sat down on the sofa.
Today’s harvest is quite significant.
Got a key.
Also learned information about the demon.
When Ren Suo played the game before, he didn't think too much about it and thought the monsters were just the monsters set in "Over My Dead Body".
Now that I think about it, "Over My Dead Body" is actually very similar to reality!
The reality is the global spiritual energy revival, and the game is the revival of the Three Kingdoms spiritual veins.
The reality is that awakened practitioners appear, and the game is that the monk family returns to the arena.
So isn’t it normal that monsters and demons appear in games and in reality?
Thinking of this, Ren Suo turned on the Small World game console and read the 265-year archive in "Over My Dead Body"!
As the last year of the recent clearance, Ren Suo must defeat the most powerful demon army in the Three Kingdoms chaos——
Remnants of Shu Han!
Before, when the Ren family cultivators were clearing out demons in their strongholds in Yiling and Wuzhangyuan, they didn’t see Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and they thought that the difficulty of the game had been slightly reduced, and that players didn’t need to deal with these two bosses who were extremely powerful no matter how you thought about it.
However, in 263 AD, when Shu Han was destroyed and Jiang Wei died for his country, Ren Suo realized that expecting the difficulty of the game to decrease, like expecting life to be kind to oneself, was impossible!
The bodies of these two big guys were simply well preserved by Shu Han!
When Shu Han was destroyed and the country's fortune was gone, resentment and hatred were completely triggered by Jiang Wei's martyrdom, causing these two, who were powerful cultivators in their lifetime (compared with ordinary people, not compared with the cultivators of the Ren family), to condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the resentment of the people and crawl out of the coffin!
In addition, all the important officials who devoted their lives to Shu Han and died over the years were also resurrected.
Liu Bei's elite Bai Li soldiers were reorganized again and transformed into the terrifying Bai Li Corpse Army!
If it were just that, it would be fine, but now there are only a few years left before the mandatory clearance requirement, Ren Suo is planning to muddle through and watch the clearance CG first.
Even if the remnants of Shu Han killed all the elves he knew, it didn't matter - the Ren family cultivators could still survive for just a few years!
But the problem is that the remnants of Shu Han are different from other ghosts.
Their leader still has humanity and wisdom.
They left Shu, harmless along the way, and actually marched directly to the Ren family's base!
It was the first time that Ren Suo had seen this kind of routine.
Players charge towards the BOSS through a winding maze, which is the normal process of the game.
How could the bosses rush over to the players and fight them in groups? ?
What the hell, is the monk from the Ren family the BOSS?
