Chapter 109 The Wandering Travel Group (Forty)
In such an urgent situation, players are eager to know the subsequent developments.
As a result, at this moment, the background changed again and it was already dawn.
It seems that this kind of immersive experience also has great disadvantages. For example, now it is like watching a movie and finally reaching the climax, but it suddenly comes to an abrupt end, which is very frustrating.
Fortunately, the location did not change much except that it became daytime.
They just returned to the foot of the mountain from halfway up the mountain, and there was one more person beside the princess.
She was wearing a black cloak, covering her entire body tightly. Even her face was covered with a black ghost mask, revealing only her clear eyes.
Compared to the extra people, the princess did not look very well. There was a huge and dazzling sun in the sky, but she seemed very cold. She was half-held in the man's arms and covered with a black cloak.
But she was still shaking uncontrollably, and her face was much paler than in the previous footage.
She looked like she was injured, but there were no obvious wounds on her body.
"You can't stay here any longer."
The man with the ghost mask covered the other person a little more with the cloak that had little effect in keeping out the cold, lowered his head, said some unpleasant words, and added one more sentence at the end.
"Don't come here again."
Her voice was cold and her face was hidden by a mask, so her expression could not be seen clearly.
However, the princess in her arms did not feel any emotion because of the other party's words of expulsion. She was already very uncomfortable, but she still stretched out a hand from inside her cloak, grabbed the other party's sleeve, and shook it twice.
"Teach you a little more,"
She was still shaking as she spoke, but her tone was full of the vicissitudes of life she pretended to have experienced, and she spoke with great earnestness, "If you want to care about others in the future, you can just say it directly. Don't drive people away for no reason like this anymore."
"It's better for people like you to live here. If you go out, you'll probably be beaten."
The princess complained about the masked man, but she turned sideways, changed her posture, and treated the other person as a blanket with a clear conscience, and rolled into his arms again.
Her tone was very serious, as if she was explaining something important, but her lips were always curled up.
The masked man held his hand aside and hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to follow his heart. He gently fell on the princess's back, hugged her and shielded her from the wind.
"What's going on? What did we miss?"
If it were a horror movie, it would still have a somewhat thrilling atmosphere and be immersive, but now it suddenly seems like they don't care about the lives of the audience and have suddenly changed the subject matter. "It was just a stand-up comedy, how come it suddenly became a love story? Did they think we haven't had enough dog food?"
"It must have been a day. Isn't this progressing too fast?"
The other players followed Ah She's lead and it was clear that there were more than one person who were shocked by the scene before them.
Only Nan Huan noticed the masked man's eyes, which were familiar to her, the same look that Bei Xi gave her.
Because of the mask, the other person's voice was not so similar to Bei Xi's, and was not noticed by other players.
Some people feel embarrassed when watching couples acting out love scenes across the big screen.
What's more, they are now in the same space with the leading actor.
Fortunately, the two of them no longer had any more intimate actions. Everyone observed the situation and found that the two did not continue talking. The princess was in poor health and fell into a state of half asleep and half awake.
Everyone stepped back a few steps. Even though they knew the other party couldn't see them, it still felt a bit weird to discuss this kind of thing in front of others.
"She should be the invisible person we saw following the princess just now, right?"
Miao Jiang spoke first. Her eyes swept over Bei Xi intentionally or unintentionally, as if observing the other party's reaction. "Oh, no, I don't think a normal person would live in such a deserted place. Besides, no normal person can hide his or her body, just like a transparent person."
Having said that, she paused for a moment and then brought up another thing that had been ignored from the beginning until now.
"Why would the system give us such a reward? For a normal dungeon, if the rewards for a side quest are not items but clues, they will most likely be related to the main quest."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Nan Huan again, "But from what we know so far, the only thing that can be linked to the princess' clue is the eldest lady's appearance. So whether the eldest lady can provide more information means how we should treat this reward."
Miao Jiang is very smart. She may have noticed something, so she took advantage of the fact that the eldest lady looks like the princess, hoping to get more clues from the eldest lady.
Nan Huan also understood what she meant. In fact, she had already guessed when she saw the princess's appearance that this reward was not given randomly by the system.
They have come this far in this copy, but the main quest has not been unlocked.
She believed that this reward must be related to the main quest, but the key was what the system wanted them to get from this reward.
At present, apart from the appearance of Hull and the princess, and the relationship between them, they have not gained much more.
"President Miao, what does this mean? Everyone has seen the special mission, and everyone knows all the clues. I don't have anything more to offer, but I think your speculation is correct. This reward is likely to contain information that we will use next, so it is better for everyone to focus on these memory fragments."
Nan Huan was actually a little puzzled. This was a special mission. She had decided to bring everyone into the single-player mission because of Ahua's final warning and for everyone's safety.
But judging from the current situation, the content of this special mission is related to Heer and the princess.
So Nan Huan was a little confused. If she had not pulled everyone into a single-player mission before, would they also have to face special single-player missions, or would there be other different games or missions.
After all, if she and Bei Xi were not present in the Four Corners Game, no one would know, and no one would be able to use Bei Xi's voice to deceive the princess. The Four Corners Game would become a dead end, and she would have to try her best at the risk of being punished.
Therefore, Nanhuan never took Miaojiang's questioning seriously. The other party had no evidence anyway, so he just kept denying it.
However, Bei Xi did not tolerate the other party for the second time. "President Miao, if you want to know any clues, go find them yourself. Don't forget that we are only temporary partners in this game. Don't try to incite division. Otherwise, the young lady who has lost a part of herself will still be able to complete this special mission well, but you can't be sure."
Bei Xi actually didn't need to speak to others in such a serious and oppressive tone, or say such contradictory things.
But she couldn't stand Nan Huan's repeated questioning. Given her limited sense of moral responsibility, she would not have considered those who were not in her team at the beginning, let alone the Miao people who had been at odds with her from the very beginning.
Her words were extremely impolite, and the references included but were not limited to Miaojiang.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. The other players who were originally encouraged by Miao Jiang's words felt a little ashamed after hearing the chairman's words.
After all, the eldest lady had saved them more than once before. Some of them just wanted to compete fairly for the fragments of the faith totem. They didn't want to really become enemies with the entire guild, nor did they have the ability to do so.
I don’t know if it was just a coincidence that there was some movement from the princess, or if the system was urging us to improve the progress again, but at this awkward moment, there was a sound from the princess.
"How long have you been here?"
The princess could feel her body stiffening little by little, and she knew she couldn't stay here any longer.
But she didn't know why, even after the other party had suggested that she leave several times, she still couldn't make up her mind.
Now he spoke again for no apparent reason, as if chatting with the other party.
"I don't remember. I've been staying here since I can remember."
The ghost-faced man answered every question the princess asked. While speaking, she was also paying attention to the other party's reaction. After all, she could feel that the person in her arms was becoming increasingly stiff.
Before she finished her words, she had already picked up the princess and carried her sideways, walking down the mountain.
"Have you ever thought about going out and seeing the outside world?"
The princess noticed her action and swallowed the words that were about to stop her. She then changed her question and asked the question she originally wanted to ask.
At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming here.
The other person's embrace was not warm, and was even a little cold, but the princess felt very safe.
She knew that there wasn't much distance left to travel, so she leaned on her shoulder stubbornly, indicating with her eyes that she was waiting for an answer.
No, because I never consider those unrealistic and unattainable issues.
I had prepared an answer in my heart, but when I saw the other person's expectant eyes, I couldn't help but tell the truth.
"I've thought about it since you showed up."
The princess couldn't help herself and put her arms around the ghost-faced man's neck. She endured the chill and said, "I'm glad you think so."
The ghost-faced man was stunned by the princess's sudden action. At that moment, she felt her chest inexplicably getting hot.
She clearly hated the heat before, but why did she feel so comfortable now? She even couldn't help wanting to get closer to him.
She resisted the urge to tilt her head to touch the other person's cheek, and finally just tightened her arms and rubbed the other person closer to her arms.
The two walked further and further, until they were almost at the border of Ghost King Ridge. Only then did the Ghost-faced Man stop and slowly put the princess down.
The fluttering corners of clothes entangled with the tense fingers, as if showing an indescribable attachment.
But the ghost-faced man just stared at the princess in a daze, as if he wanted to engrave the princess's shadow firmly in his mind.
The princess also stood there, looking at the ghost-faced man. If possible, she hoped that time would stay at this moment forever.
But she couldn't, so in the end she just stood on tiptoe and hugged the other person.
"Wait until I come back."
These four words were light but firm, and fell on the ghost-faced man's heart along with the breeze.
She didn't answer, perhaps because she thought the other person would never come back, or perhaps because she knew in her heart that if she came back, she would die, and she shouldn't give her any feedback.
But why did her heart feel slightly warm when she heard these four words, and a faint expectation arose in her heart?
As the princess left, the scene also came to an end.
【bite--
The reward ends and the game continues. 】
The terrifying supernatural film eventually became a touching love film.
Because of the immersive and close-up experience, many players have not yet recovered from the feeling of separation, and the system prompt sound rang out at an inopportune time.
The background in front of them disappeared in an instant, and white mist filled their eyes again, returning to the original small room.
Nan Huan raised the finger on his shoulder, and the princess had already stood in the fourth corner of the wall.
Perhaps he had already seen the princess's appearance in the reward just now, so the white mist did not block her face at this time.
But compared to the very lively princess in my memory, the one in front of me obviously didn’t want to communicate with everyone.
Nan Huan knew that the memory fragment they had just seen was something that really happened in the past.
So the princess in it really existed and was lively, but what this thing in front of us is like is not certain.
White mist surged up in an instant, as if silently urging her. Nan Huan knew that even if she opened her mouth, she probably wouldn't be able to ask anything, so she decisively gave up communicating with the other party.
Fortunately, the four-corner game was finally over. They quickly found the first corner and patted Man Wugui on the shoulder.
The other party was just like a princess, unwilling to communicate more. Perhaps she still held a grudge against Nan Huan for defrauding her before, but after being patted on the shoulder, she quickly left.
"game over."
Nan Huan did not linger too much and directly shouted out the designated words.
As she finished her words, the white mist in the room completely disappeared, along with the red candle in the center. The outer wall on the other side flipped up completely, and the red line hung down again.
"Are you trying to rush us to the second coffin without stopping?"
The players had finally gotten rid of the foggy situation, and before they could figure out what the scenes in the memory fragments meant, and before they had time to comment on the touching love story between the princess and the ghost-faced man, they were urged to progress by a system without any emotion.
Ah She felt that playing this game was both physically and mentally exhausting, and she was almost drained of it. She couldn't help but complain.
"The special forces don't have as many formations as we do in a day. We haven't even been in the dungeon for a day, but we've already finished three or four dungeons. Even if the mission is a 2S-level mission, we still have to respect human rights, right?"
She swore and complained for a while, and was finally kicked by Nineteen, "Speak human language."
"I want to rest. Aren't you tired?"
She felt aggrieved and looked at the eldest lady and the president pitifully.
It’s not that she was being lazy. After all, she had been injured in the previous battle, and she had been very nervous during this period. It was good enough that she could hold on until she came out.
Other players who did not have such good physical strength also agreed with this proposal, but they were less capable than Jiao Wei and had less say, so they did not take the initiative to mention it.
Now that Ah She brought up this matter, they were happy to agree with it.
"Then let's rest here for five minutes. It won't be long before dawn, and we still have two coffins to go to."
In fact, Nan Huan was not in much better condition either. She had been so tense just now that she didn't feel anything, but now that she relaxed, she felt tired, and she didn't have good physical strength to begin with.
Bei Xi was a little worried about Nan Huan, so she gave her a few more bottles of potion, and only stopped when she saw that her complexion looked a little better.
Five minutes later, everyone unanimously decided to continue using the first method and let the eldest lady and Bei Xi pull the red line. They used the system's automatic flash and went directly to the second coffin. After all, it saved time and effort, and the key was to save effort.
The moment Nan Huan grabbed the red line, it twitched rapidly and flew out of the room with the two of them.
The sky outside seemed a little brighter than before. Nan Huan could barely see the coffins within a few floors of the flying position. She did not forget that after passing the last three coffins, she had to light the sky lanterns.
But when I looked up, I found that I still couldn't see the coffin at the top of the mass grave, let alone the lamp in the upper right corner.
This flight did not last as long as the last one. Soon, they were thrown into another room by the red line, or to be more precise, into another coffin.
But if it is not explained in detail, or if there are no other players in this room, it is impossible to tell the difference between this room and the previous one.
Just as empty, just as unlike an ordinary coffin.
A moment later, all the players appeared in the room.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for unlocking the second coffin——Role Playing, Who is the Murderer?】
As the system prompted, the room in front of me began to change.
Well, there are quite a lot of tricks.
Nan Huan no longer had the intention to complain about the system, but the word "murderer" gave her a bad feeling.
[After entering the game, the player becomes a victim, plays a role according to the plot development, and finds the real murderer before being killed. ]
Well, it’s still a real-life reasoning game.
[In view of the fact that the player, Miss, has brought other life forms that are not compatible with the game when entering this special mission.
In this round of the game, all other living beings can act as individuals, play their own roles, and assist the player lady in finding the real murderer.
However, if the player fails to find the real murderer within the specified time, other life forms will still be considered as part of the player and share the punishment. 】
The corners of other players' mouths twitched. It turned out that being packaged and regarded as part of the eldest lady was not the worst thing.
The worst thing is that they have to serve as free labor and become NPCs when the system is short of manpower.
Not only will you not get paid, but you will also have to bear joint and several liability.
This group of people obviously had no experience in bargaining with the system. Although they were shocked in their hearts and angry on their faces, no one dared to shout at the system.
And the next second, everyone’s eyes went dark.
In a daze, Nan Huan felt someone pushing him.
"Princess, Princess..."
