Chapter 334: Horror Night: Survival Copy (1/3/22)
He easily climbed up to the ceiling, opened the vent and crawled in.
According to my memory, I came to the captain's room. I could see the entire captain's room through the ventilation hole. There was no one inside, only a dim light was on.
Xu Jinxiao slipped out of the vent and landed easily.
He went to his desk and searched for suspicious information, and all eight tentacles came into action.
But after searching for a long time, I didn't find anything useful.
There were still many books and materials on the bookshelf, so he went to the bookshelf to look for them.
Still nothing.
He searched the entire room in disbelief but found nothing.
Wen Ze said that the captain was the biggest suspect and there was no need for him to lie to him, so it must be the captain's problem.
But there is nothing in the captain's room, so where could it be?
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head and he realized that there must be a dark room.
His transformation this time was really the right one. The octopus's tentacles have a strong sense of touch, and its perception goes straight to the brain, allowing it to easily identify the differences between objects.
Xu Jinxiao waved eight tentacles and explored the room carefully.
Suddenly, a part of the wall was pressed down, and then with a loud "boom", the originally complete bookshelf split in the middle, revealing a dark passage.
Xu Jinxiao's octopus can see at night and is not panicked at all.
He walked into the corridor, walked about ten meters, and came to another room.
The room was lit with dim candlelight and the facilities were very simple. There was only a table with a book and an incense burner on it. There was a long incense stick burning in the incense burner, emitting white smoke. A strange portrait hung on the wall facing the table.
Xu Jinxiao climbed onto the table and looked at the book in front of him. He opened it curiously and checked it out.
So that’s how it is. Is that really the case?
Xu Jinxiao was stunned.
According to the book, as long as you turn all the passengers on the ship into sacrifices to the sea god on a full moon night, you can get everything you want.
The last page is a portrait of a sea god, a mass of pitch-black substance, with a pair of scarlet eyes vaguely visible, staring evilly at the person looking at it.
Xu Jinxiao looked into his eyes, and suddenly, a very low whisper sounded in his ears.
"Come on, do as the instructions above, and you can get anything you want, fame, wealth, beauty, power, everything..."
"Join this sacrifice and your life will change. You will no longer live a mediocre life. You will become a successful person admired by everyone."
A low and bewitching voice kept ringing, lingering in my ears.
The scarlet eyes stared at him intently, flashing with desire, which had a bewitching effect.
Xu Jinxiao's mind, which was clear a few seconds ago, suddenly became chaotic and confused. All other thoughts in his mind were dispelled, and only its voice echoed.
Xu Jinxiao thought something was wrong and quickly closed the strange book. Only then did the voice in his ears disappear.
He shook his head and moved his gaze to the portrait on the wall, which was exactly the same as the one in the book.
I didn't expect that the captain was tempted by this thing, but the allure of this thing is indeed very strong, and he almost fell into it.
Looking at the dark and red book cover in front of him, does he know the secret behind it?
Just as I thought of this, the familiar blood words appeared:
Congratulations to player Xu Qiu for cracking the dungeon background. The rewards will be distributed after the dungeon is finished. Player: 7
The bloody words slowly disappeared. He felt nothing but regret for not bringing Lu Qing with him, so that Lu Qing could also get the dungeon rewards.
However, this copy is unexpectedly simple. Maybe the survival copy focuses on survival, and the other designs are mediocre?
Xu Jinxiao fell from the table and left quickly.
After closing the mechanism, he carefully restored the captain's room to its original state before entering the ventilation duct and returning to his room.
Most of the other players were fast asleep, and they didn't even notice the bloody words appearing and disappearing before their eyes.
Back in the room, he opened the vent and slipped down. The light in the room was on.
He moved his mind slightly, changed back to his original form, opened the door and walked out.
Lu Qing was sitting outside waiting for him to come back. When he saw him come back, he immediately walked towards him.
"Brother Xu, what did you do just now? I saw the message written in blood."
Lu Qing's eyes were full of surprise. He didn't expect that Xu Qiu had cracked the copy background in such a short time.
"I went to the captain's cabin."
Xu Jinxiao explained briefly and regretted not bringing his wife with him. He was touched that his wife was still waiting for him to come back so late.
She is worthy of being his most beloved wife.
The two chatted for a few minutes and then fell asleep, waking up around noon the next day.
It was only the fourth day, and Xu Jinxiao had already cracked the copy. Now he only needed to survive the daily tasks.
Sitting bored on the edge of the bed, I asked about his pollution value. It was indeed 4, increasing by 1 every day. The same was true for Lu Qing.
I'm curious about the favorability values of the others. Everyone else's is below ten, except for the guy in my relationship, whose pollution value is as high as 31.
He must have been eating in the restaurant, but there was nothing he could do. Unlike other players, he didn't have the ability to deal with the situation. If he didn't eat for three days, he would probably starve to death, not to mention having to deal with the tasks every night.
Xu Jinxiao thought about it and decided to remind him.
As fellow players, humans couldn't bear to watch him go to destruction.
He walked downstairs. It was almost noon, so he was reminded to eat less.
When we arrived at the first floor, we saw tables full of tourists, all chatting and laughing lively.
Xu Jinxiao searched for the male partner, only to find him sitting in a corner. His face was a little pale and his eyes showed sadness, but everything else was normal.
The surroundings were bustling with activity, but he was very quiet and didn't dare to talk to other NPCs.
Xu Jinxiao saw that he looked lonely and depressed. It seemed that the death of his girlfriend had dealt him a great blow.
Xu Jinxiao suddenly felt a little sympathy for him. If his wife died, he would probably feel even worse.
Thinking of this, Xu Jinxiao came and sat down next to him.
When the couple saw it was him, they quickly extended their hands to greet him, "Xu, Brother Xu, why are you here?"
"Just a reminder to you: eat less in restaurants."
Xu Jinxiao said lightly.
"Huh? Why? Where should we eat then?"
The male partner asked in confusion, wouldn’t he die faster if he didn’t eat?
Xu Jinxiao smiled coldly, "If you want to die soon, eat more."
The male couple was scared now. Xu Qiu's expression seemed quite serious. Could there really be something wrong with the food in the cafeteria?
"Hello, here's your lunch order."
A restaurant waiter came over and brought the food to him with a smile.
