Chapter 99: The Wandering Travel Group (Thirty)
The space inside the coffin was very large. When the familiar prompt sound of the system rang, Nan Huan felt his habitual dizziness.
When she opened her eyes again, she found that several people from the opposing side had appeared in a pure white room.
Neither the lights on nor the size of the room looked like the inside of a coffin.
Maybe it was because there were too many players entering the coffin, or maybe it was because of the order of entry. In any case, after Nan Huan and the others had looked around the room and found nothing.
The remaining players were then teleported in, along with the tour guide who had been their opponent and almost killed them all.
The atmosphere was awkward for a moment. The remaining players were obviously unaware of the situation and had a lot of questions to ask Nan Huan, but there was a tour guide on the scene with angry eyes, who looked like he would explode at any second.
The shadow of death brought to the players by the previous side quests will not be dispelled so easily. Besides, they don’t quite understand their current situation yet, so they dare not step forward.
Nan Huan seemed quite at ease and didn't seem to have anything to explain.
He smiled at the tour guide and said, "It seems that this VIP service is not bad. You are not allowed to interfere with the game process, but it does not mean that you can reveal any information, right?"
With such an NPC standing here, Nanhuan would naturally make use of him if possible.
Can you be a human being?
Have you forgotten how you teamed up with others to deal with someone in the previous side quest and even kidnapped his wife?
How do you have the nerve to ask such a question now?
Others looked at Nan Huan with scrutiny, with undisguised disdain in their eyes.
The tour guide seemed to be irritated by it as well, and he just turned a deaf ear to her, not to mention replying to her, and he didn't even want to look at Nanhuan.
The system might be worried that the NPC would get angry and quit, so it promptly explained the confusion to Nan Huan.
【Task Description:
Legend has it that there is a sky lantern in the upper right corner of the coffin at the top of the mass grave. Once it is lit, the Dark Alley and the mass grave will disappear. However, no one has ever succeeded in thousands of years.
The player holds the red string and enters a random coffin. There is a small game in each coffin. Depending on the degree of completion of the game, the player will receive corresponding punishment or reward.
After passing through three coffins in a row, the red line will take the player to the location of the sky lantern.
If the player fails to complete the task of lighting the sky lantern before dawn, he will be trapped in the mass grave forever.
Please cheer up, Miss Player! 】
At the moment the system explained, the room was facing the direction of Nan Huan and the others, and the original white wall was pulled up like a drawer.
Cold wind and the howling of ghosts and wolves came in together, and a glowing red line hung down from somewhere.
It is exactly the same as the red line extending from the fragments of A Liu's coffin that we saw in the previous mission to Xi'an.
However, at this moment, everyone's eyes were not focused on the red line, but were surprised at the scene before them.
Although they were standing at the edge of a room, all they could see were layers of coffins.
At this time, the players finally saw clearly that the inside of the dark alley was not just a wall, but an octagonal building structure made up of countless coffins.
There was a gust of cold wind going up, and I couldn't see where the top floor was.
It was unfathomable how deep they were, and it was impossible to count how far they were from the ground.
It was clear that the height that Nan Huan had chosen was definitely no higher than five or six stories, but the circling coffins and piles of bones seemed to extend to some unknown place.
"Can you see the coffin at the top?"
A'She was already lying on the edge of the door, looking up with Lingyue and Shijiu.
When Nan Huan assigned them the task, he had already briefly explained why all the players had to be brought into this coffin together.
However, based on their understanding of the rest of the group, they felt that it would be good enough if they didn't cause trouble, and they couldn't count on them for help.
So after the task was released, they started looking for clues on their own.
And Ah She's brain reacted quickly, "Did anyone see it? If you find it, call President Alice to come and take a look. By then, her rabbit hole... oh..."
Before she could finish her words, Alice, who was squeezed behind her, knocked her on the head. "Kid, my skill is called 'Three Burrows'. Don't learn how to talk like you do, or I will let you and this girl experience the feeling of being separated by two places."
Ah She saw that she didn't look like she was joking when she pointed at Ah Kong, so he quickly put on a smile and flattered her, "President Alice, come on, come to the front row and watch. If you see it, you will lead us to victory without any effort, and there is no need to play any games."
Alice's expression improved a little when she saw that she didn't mention the rabbit hole again, but she always felt that the person in front of her was thinking too much.
After all, she thought of this method after the system finished explaining the task, but this place was a bit weird. On the surface, it looked like a tube-shaped building made of coffins.
But in fact, the higher you go, the narrower the view becomes, and logically speaking, the target of your vision should be more fixed.
Because of her skills, her eyesight is slightly better than that of normal people, but even so, she still can't see clearly what's at the top, can't find the coffin at the top that the system mentioned, and can't find the lamp in the upper right corner.
She shook her head at Nan Huan and Bei Xi, and they understood what she meant.
"Although I know the possibility is small, I still want to try?"
Nan Huan had another idea, but she did not act rashly. Instead, she asked Bei Xi for her opinion first.
The moment the latter raised his eyebrows, he had already put his arms around Nan Huan's waist.
He didn't say anything, but he made his attitude clear.
However, just as the two were preparing to take action, Miao Jiang behind them blocked their way.
"Chairman, Miss, don't you think you should explain the current situation first?"
Miao Jiang had just been tricked by Alice and the Mad Hatter, and he was feeling unhappy. He saw the people on the young lady's side, but after every explanation, they had already started to focus on their own research tasks.
After all, she is the head of a guild. It is inevitable that she will be unhappy after losing face in front of the guild president and the eldest lady again and again.
With new and old grudges added together, his tone was very tough.
It’s not that Nan Huan really forgot about this, but the system had just prompted it so clearly, and she thought that the remaining players should have understood the cause and effect of this.
But now it seems that it hasn't.
"Well... President Miao, I don't think the system would be so kind as to add a more gentle tourist project for us. And you have just heard that we have to light the sky lanterns before dawn before we can leave here."
Nan Huan did not mention what Ahua had whispered to her. After all, she didn't think Miao Jiang would believe it. She wanted to help if she could, as she didn't want anyone to die innocently.
"Which do you think is better, eighteen people scrambling to light a lamp, or eighteen people working together to light a lamp?"
Now everyone has entered the coffin under the name of Nanhuan and triggered the mission. From this perspective, they are a whole.
Miao Jiang naturally understood this principle, but she couldn't understand how Nan Huan could have anticipated it and taken action before the mission was triggered.
Now the other party is intentionally avoiding this topic, either because he is unwilling to talk to me or because he has other reasons.
"But how can you be sure that the rest of us players won't die in this mission for other reasons? After all, you are the only one who has the title to trigger the mission?"
“So,” Nan Huan said with a wicked smile, “Please ask the remaining players and Guild Master Miao to protect me well. Only if I am alive can everyone leave here safely and healthily.”
Nan Huan quickly figured out the trick. "Well, if you still don't understand, how about I show you something fun?"
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Miao Jiang to react, she rushed outside with Bei Xi.
At the moment of taking off, a pair of wings stood up behind him and flew towards the top.
Except for the light inside the room, it was still pitch black outside. Fortunately, Nanhuan's wings were white and could be vaguely captured.
"I almost forgot about the young lady's wings. If she had flown directly to the top and turned on the light, wouldn't we have won without any effort?"
"Probably not."
"impossible."
"impossible."
The first voice was Ah Kong's, and the next two voices were Nineteen and Alice.
"Why?"
She was not ashamed to ask questions, and always felt that others seemed to have reached a consensus without her knowing.
"If she could fly up, how could I not see anything?" Alice felt that the eldest lady's vision in choosing partners was not very good. The person in front of her didn't seem to be very smart, not as good as her girlfriend.
"The system set this task, and it can't be completed so easily. Otherwise, how could it automatically lift the wall and allow us this opportunity?"
Miaojiang and the remaining players were looking at each other in bewilderment, wondering what the meaning was for that person suddenly running away in the middle of talking nonsense.
After just a short while, everyone felt that the temperature around them seemed to have dropped a lot. They didn't feel cold just now, but now they felt a little cold for unknown reasons. Some players had already started rubbing their arms.
“I’ll go…”
There were shouts and curses from the crowd, and some even slapped their arms. "Who used a personal skill? It's already so cold, why are you still emitting cold air?"
“Not the individual skills of the players.”
Miao Jiang stood at the front of the crowd. She could easily see that all the players were covered with a layer of frost in an instant, which spread from their limbs to their eyebrows.
She roughly understood what Nan Huan meant just now.
Just as everyone was patting the ice on each other's bodies, there was finally movement outside the wall, and Nan Huan came in flapping his wings.
As soon as she stood firm, she couldn't help but sneeze. Bei Xi behind her didn't care about the frost on her body, but helped Nan Huan pat the ice on her head.
"This building is much taller than it looks. It could also be due to the system. I can't fly up there with my wings. After flying for a while, the temperature started to drop. I would have frozen to death before I reached the top."
She briefly explained what had happened outside, and was in a good mood when she saw that all the remaining people were covered in frost.
"You came into this coffin with me and triggered this one-person special mission. Now you are all part of me. As long as I'm fine, everyone else will be fine. If I accidentally get hurt, you should have felt it just now. Don't I need to say more?"
In fact, Nan Huan had thought of this as early as when she heard the system say that this was a single-person special mission.
After all, it is a fact that the players were sent to this special mission together, but after consideration, the system stated that this was a single-player mission.
It is impossible for players to have any restrictions in this mission, or for the mission to have no effect at all.
Therefore, Nan Huan prefers that from the moment entering this special mission, everyone becomes a part of himself.
"Are you treating us like life points in a game? You've added so many lives to yourself all at once, and if we die one or two, you won't be affected. But if you're hurt, none of us will survive."
As Miao Jiang spoke, he took out a dagger and cut his arm, blood gushing out.
But Nanhuan's arm was fine, without any injury at all.
Miao Jiang was somewhat gnashing his teeth at this established fact. After all, this meant that he could not touch Nanhuan at least until this mission was completed.
Not only can you not move, but you also have to protect the other person in order to avoid losing your own life.
But for Nanhuan, the relationship between them is not a sufficient and necessary condition, and their injuries do not affect Nanhuan.
Although Nanhuan did not have this idea when making the decision, the facts are before us, and we have to admit that Miaojiang’s concerns are not unreasonable.
Especially when the other party is already prejudiced against you, it is harder than climbing to the sky to make him believe that you have no such idea.
Besides, it was not far from dawn, and they hadn't even entered a coffin yet, so they really couldn't waste time here.
She did not answer Miao Jiang, but turned around and looked at the remaining players behind her.
"I don't care what you think. The fact is, you just have to protect me and complete this mission so that everyone can continue to live. If you want to live, unite first. Otherwise, I don't mind turning myself into a few percent."
"There is not much time left until dawn. We haven't entered any coffins yet, and we haven't played any games yet. So if there are still people who haven't thought it through, you can continue to stand here. If there are people who want to die together, you are also welcome to do it."
After Nan Huan finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the red line hanging from the wall.
"Miss, I don't know if this red line can withstand the strength of so many of us. If it falls, it will be much more terrifying."
A She has been observing for a long time. If it were in any other copy, she would never doubt the game settings.
But this special mission was originally designed to be a one-person task, so she couldn't be blamed for worrying too much.
After all, the previous mission even invaded the system, and now it’s at such a bottomless height, who knows what horrible things are happening down there?
This angle of thinking about the problem was very unique. Nan Huan was silent for a few seconds.
"It shouldn't be necessary to catch everyone. Let me test it first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bei Xi put his arms around her waist to make it easier for her to grab the red string.
