Woniu City.

Zhu Bin was sitting in the bedroom, with broken pieces of a water cup on the floor.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, and I couldn't help but smash the cup to pieces.

"I've never suffered such a loss before." He gritted his teeth. He really didn't know where the 'mental patient' lived. If he knew, he would definitely go over and kill him.

"And there's this pervert guy. He was the one who introduced the mentally ill patient here. He can't stay out of this either." Zhu Bin stood up and took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator.

His house is an old one, but the furniture and furnishings in it, including computers, food and drink supplies, are all the most luxurious.

Take the bottle of water in his hand, for example, the price is more than two hundred yuan.

In the past, he couldn't afford to drink at all.

A few months ago, he was just a dead otaku who was just waiting to die. It was the game "Death Chamber" that brought him a new life. The most powerful thing about this game is the gold coins, which can be exchanged for things used in the nightmare world.

This gave Zhu Bin powerful strength all of a sudden.

He found that now he could earn wealth that he had never imagined in the past by just using some means.

Of course Zhu Bin is not stupid. He is not overly high-profile. For example, he only bought the best furniture and appliances and drank mineral water that cost several hundred yuan a bottle, but he did not buy a house.

In his opinion, only by keeping a low profile and being careful can one go further.

But he couldn't stand what happened today.

"You better come to me, you bastard, the mental patient."

Zhu Bin was annoyed not only because he was killed five times in a row by the opponent and lost five lives, but also because he lost the qualification to pass that important hidden game scene.

This is the most important thing.

He has a prop that can identify the reward scores in some hidden game scenes.

And the reward score for the previous game scene was the highest he had ever seen.

That's why he called together four other players to join the strategy.

Unexpectedly, when it was about to succeed, it was ruined by that mentally ill patient.

"Is that guy really sick?"

Zhu Bin thought of a possibility.

What he was worried about was that the other party would cheat him and say they would fight offline, but he didn't dare to come.

If this is the case, it will be very difficult to find the other party.

"If I find the Book of Darkness, what will the reward for that scene be? Damn it, no matter what it is, I will never get it. I'm so pissed."

…

In the completely dark world, Lin Mo felt like he had grabbed a book.

"I didn't expect that there is a dark dimension in this game."

Lin Mo is no stranger to the dark dimension.

In the past, he often came into contact with the dark dimension, such as finding doors that only existed in the dark dimension, and mazes that only existed in the dark dimension.

The place where the dark dimension exists is of course very dangerous, because if you enter it accidentally, you may be completely lost in it.

Corresponding to the current game scene, the crucial prop "Book of Darkness" also only exists in the dark dimension. In other words, this prop is placed on the stone platform, and only those who fully understand the previous game hints can find it.

That is to turn off all light sources and grope in the dark.

Otherwise, you would never be able to find it even if you searched for a year with a flashlight.

Lin Mo was able to realize it so quickly because he had experience entering the dark dimension.

At this moment he was very sure that the book in his hand was the 'Book of Darkness'.

Because he had received the hint that the mission was completed.

The prompt also includes whether to leave the game scene now.

If you choose to leave, the game scene will be closed and other players in the scene will be teleported away as well.

Logically, you should choose this one.

But what Lin Mo likes to do most is to go against the grain.

He always felt that there was something more to be explored in this scene.

For example, why didn't we encounter the 'Light-Hater'? This name should not just be a reminder of the existence of the dark dimension, it should have other meanings.

For example, if you choose to leave now, what will happen to the female students who survived? Will they disappear together, or will they continue to exist and then die at the hands of the evil spirit? Based on these considerations, Lin Mo chose not to leave the game scene immediately.

At this moment, the surroundings were unusually quiet.

This silence did not include the slightly frightened breathing of the female student and the groaning of the sickly child.

Lin Mo felt quiet because he could no longer hear the voice of the evil spirit.

It was as if in an instant, all the evil spirits disappeared.

"Are you all right?"

Lin Mo shouted.

He couldn't turn on the flashlight or the Darkhold would disappear.

"It's okay. Damn, I lost my flashlight." The sickly guy spoke first, and judging from his voice, nothing should be wrong.

"I'm fine too." The female student said in a crying voice.

He must have just been frightened.

But soon, the female student started screaming again.

"Evil, the evil spirit is still there."

The sickly child also said so.

Lin Mo's heart moved, and he reached out and felt around, and sure enough, he touched many cold bodies.

It's those evil spirits.

But at this time the evil spirit seemed motionless and did not respond at all.

Lin Mo realized that this should be related to the Book of Darkness.

Could it be that the Book of Darkness could control these evil spirits? In order to verify this conjecture, Lin Mo held up the Book of Darkness and said, "Kneel down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a series of dense sounds of knees hitting the ground in the darkness.

Really kneeled down!

The conjecture was confirmed.

Lin Mo was in a good mood. At that moment, he seemed to have regained the feeling of getting top-quality equipment while playing games in the past. He was excited and had a hint of anticipation.

Next he told the sickly man and the female student not to be afraid and to come over slowly.

It's just that it was too dark and I couldn't find the way.

Lin Mo simply ordered the evil spirit to bring the two people over.

This time it went smoothly.

"What's going on?" asked the sickly boy.

Lin Mo let the other party touch the Book of Darkness.

I guess the sick kid got the hint, and after a while he said, "Awesome!" This was a compliment.

Obviously the sickly man's mission was also accomplished.

Lin Mo had promised the tailor before, so he thought about it and ordered the evil spirit to bring the tailor over.

"I hope the tailor is still alive, otherwise it would be a big loss."

Muttered something.

After a while, gurgling sounds were heard in the distance, followed by vomiting and wailing.

It looks like the evil spirit has done its job brilliantly once again.

The tailor was still cursing at this time.

Something like "fuck you" and "kill me if you dare".

Sounds like a tough guy.

But he just vomited and talked at the same time, without any momentum at all.

"Okay, stop howling. I asked the evil spirit to bring you here." Lin Mo said.

Hearing Lin Mo's voice, the tailor was startled, then groped over in the dark.

"What's going on here?"

This guy was obviously very surprised.

Lin Mo asked the tailor to touch the Book of Darkness, and then the tailor suddenly realized.

"You really found it? Haha, that's amazing, I knew you could do it."

Now everyone was talking in the dark. Although they knew there were evil spirits all around them, at this moment, no one was afraid anymore. On the contrary, even the female students were a little excited.

"The mission has been completed, and the mission only required finding the Dark Book, which we did."

Lin Mo finished speaking, and then asked again: "Do you think this thing can be taken out?"

This is what he cares about.

"I think it's risky." The sickly man commented: "But we can try."

"Didn't you read the attribute description of the Book of Darkness carefully? Didn't you see that it says at the bottom that this item cannot be taken out of the game scene?"

The tailor poured a basin of cold water on him.

To be honest, Lin Mo really didn't notice it.

Because the introduction to the Book of Darkness is very long and is divided into several sections, I haven't read it carefully before.

Looking at it now, I feel bored.

Props that cannot be taken out are not good props.

In other words, if Lin Mo had chosen to leave the scene immediately, the Book of Darkness would most likely have fallen directly to the ground.

The sickly person will be teleported away with him.

But the female student was doomed to die.

Unless she is extremely lucky and accidentally touches the Book of Darkness, she will die miserably.

Lin Mo was thinking at this moment, since the Book of Darkness could not be taken out, why not give it to the female student? Even if there was no other reward, at least it could save her life.

From the moment they entered the mine, without the guidance of this female student, they would not have been able to complete the mission. In other words, the key to this game scene is whether they can protect the key NPC to reach the final scene.

If all the NPCs die halfway, the mission will be a failure.

Lin Mo called the female student over and handed the Book of Darkness to her.

It was pitch black and I couldn't see the female student's expression, but I could feel her panic and excitement from her trembling hands.

"Is this the Dark Book?"

"It should be."

"Can I take a look?"

"Yes, I can, but can you see it?"

"This book is not to be read with the eyes, but to be touched with the hands."

Lin Mo was speechless for a while.

Since these books can only exist in the dark dimension, anyone with a brain knows that they cannot be read with the eyes, but how can one read the contents of the book without the eyes?

The essence of a book is to be read.

Lin Mo felt that he should have guessed it long ago. The reason he didn't think about it that way before was because he was looking at it from the perspective of a game player.

In the eyes of gamers, the Book of Darkness is just a prop.

Not all quest items can be read.

This is the consensus among players.

But when it comes to the role of female students in the game scene, she doesn't have that idea.

So her first reaction was whether she could read the content above.

"Braille?"

Lin Mo reacted.

"You know Braille?"

The female student said that this was not ordinary Braille: "This is ancient Braille. I don't know much about it, but I should be able to understand the content."

Depend on.

This female student is really a treasure girl.

And Lin Mo knew that this time their exploration of this game scene had reached a higher level.

Next comes the waiting.

The female student began to open the mysterious book in the dark, touching the uneven words on it line by line with her fingers, and began to decipher them.

Generally, she will directly say it after interpreting a part of it.

And the moment she opened her mouth, Lin Mo and the others had already received a new clue.

"Got the extra achievement of listening to the dark secrets."

I could feel that both Bingyangzi and the tailor were breathing rapidly.

This is exciting.

Who could have thought of this?

Most players will subconsciously choose to leave after touching the Book of Darkness.

After all, there are so many evil spirits in this place, and staying here will surely lead to death.

This is common sense.

But this time Lin Mo did something counterintuitive, which led to this discovery and gain.

Anyway, this time the game scene made a profit.

Made a fortune.

It took the female student more than an hour to interpret a book.

But neither Lin Mo, Sickly Man, nor the tailor felt bored, after all, this extra achievement represented more rewards. And for Lin Mo, listening to the secrets of darkness meant more.

He is different from others.

He is an expert of the General Administration, and one of the best among them, having experienced too many horrific and mysterious events. He is also a level five researcher of the Academy of Sciences and can discuss with the top scholars in the Academy. Even if he just listens to their discussions, it has a huge impact on the expansion of Lin Mo's horizons and knowledge.

In short, the contents of the Book of Darkness spoken by the female student actually made Lin Mo realize more things, about the nightmare world, about fear, death and nightmares, all these things were connected together at this moment.

It was not until the female student finished reading that Lin Mo was silent for a long time before he came back to his senses from that epiphany.

"The book says that whoever masters the Book of Darkness will become the new Light-Hating One."

The female student said something.

Then he handed the Book of Darkness back.

Lin Mo quickly gave the book back to the female student.

"This thing is yours."

"To me?"

The female student was a little surprised.

"Yes, we can't take it away anyway, and you can only survive with this book in your hand. Otherwise, the evil spirits here will never let you go."

Lin Mo discovered that he didn't even remember what the female student looked like.

The main thing is that they were either running for their lives or on their way to running for their lives.

"We are leaving now."

Lin Mo greeted him.

There won't be any adventures if you stay here any longer.

Deciphering the Book of Darkness and listening to the secrets of darkness is the greatest reward that can be obtained.

"Thank you."

The female student said something.

Lin Mo said you’re welcome, and politely said maybe we can meet again in the future.

The female student seemed happy to hear this.

"I still don't know your name?" the female student asked.

"You can call me a psychopath." Lin Mo reported his game ID. The sickly guy next to him seemed to want to speak as well, but after thinking for a moment, he said nothing.

Although he is a pervert, he still knows his own limitations.

This is obviously a 'side quest' triggered when the favorability of the plot character reaches a certain level.

Lin Mo is his BOSS, how could he compete with his boss for such a thing?

"What a strange name. My name is Su Jinwen."

Lin Mo said he wrote it down.

Then he told Su Jinwen that as long as she took the Book of Darkness and let the evil spirits send her out, the evil spirits could protect her at least inside the mine.

But she still needs to figure out how to get out.

After saying goodbye to each other, Lin Mo and the other two left the game scene together.

Lin Mo returned to his own game room. After a while, the sickly black man applied to come in. In addition, there was also a friend request from the tailor.

Pass directly.

After a while, the tailor also came.

They can be considered as comrades who have experienced missions together and lived and died together. Isn't there a saying in the past? Drinking together does not make you a true friend, only playing dungeons together does.

"Boss, I heard from that pervert that you opened a game studio in the real world. I want to join too." The tailor expressed his opinion.

"OK!"

Lin Mo was happy with this.

The tailor was ranked very high, and his official studio was indeed always recruiting talents. The tailor was considered a talent after all, and since the other party took the initiative to join, there was no reason to refuse.

Next, let’s take a look at the rewards for this mission.

The black man was extremely envious of this process, but there was nothing he could do as it had nothing to do with him and he could only envy from the sidelines.

"Congratulations, you have cleared the special scene "The Secret of the Darkness"."

"Player: Psychopath, 5 hours, 49 minutes and 11 seconds;"

"Operational character: Xu Min in madman form; plot completion rate 91%; death count 0 times."

"Overall evaluation: S-level."

"Rewards: 1 life, 800 points, 4 gold coins, unlock the 'Dark Secrets' series of hidden game scenes, which can be found in the exclusive scene card package."

"Improve your favorability with the plot character 'Su Jinwen', and get a character card. You can invite 'Su Jinwen' to participate in the subsequent 'Dark Secrets' series of game scenes."

Lin Mo was excited to see these.

It can be said that the rewards this time are extremely generous.

Rewarding a life is already a routine operation, and Lin Mo is not rare about it; 800 points are a lot, this thing is very useful, not only can it improve the ranking, but also can be used on the boss of the horror house.

Four gold coins are the most exciting.

In the last hidden game scene, Lin Mo got two gold coins, and this time he got four directly.

This means that he can get four things from the clown fortune-telling machine and bring them into the nightmare world, which is a real benefit.

The "Dark Secrets" series of hidden missions also look quite powerful, but there is no rush for this, and I will find an opportunity to explore it later. And because I have a good relationship with the plot character "Su Jinwen", I can take him with me on the mission next time, which is obviously a very important help.

These are important, but not the most important ones at the moment.

Seeing that the sick Yangzi and the tailor looked excited, he knew that even if their rewards were not as good as his, they would not be too bad.

Lin Mo let them move freely. As for the tailor, he told Bingyangzi the address directly. Then Bingyangzi would apply and have someone pick him up.

Lin Mo doesn't care about these little things.

What he needs to do now is to find the "player" to fight.

This matter is very important.

Woniu City is not far from Migrant Bird City, only about four or five hundred kilometers.

Lin Mo planned to leave immediately.

Of course, he had to bring Sister Yue along. This was a private revenge mission, so Lin Mo planned to drive there himself.

The road conditions are very good now and it only takes a few hours to get there.

Let Sister Yue stay in the cardboard box for a while and take it over together.

Lin Mo was preparing to fall asleep at this time, thinking that the 'player' was quite powerful, and he would not take action in the real world. But if it was in the nightmare world, he would have to be careful of the opponent's 'headcutter' and 'old woman who dots beans', and it might be a fierce battle then.

So, Doudou has to be taken over.

But this doesn't seem too safe. However, with Xiaoyu here, plus Sister Yue and Doudou, we should be able to crush them.

After falling asleep, Lin Mo found Sister Yue.

However, there was another person next to Sister Yue who made Lin Mo feel his scalp tingling.

Liu Jia.

She was chatting with Sister Yue.

The chat seemed quite pleasant.

Isn't this right?

Seeing Lin Mo coming, Liu Jia asked what was the matter.

The attitude seemed to be saying, if you have nothing to do, just go away and don't disturb our conversation.

"Sister Yue, I found the 'player' and made an appointment with him for a fight. This time you can get your revenge."

Upon hearing this, Sister Yue stood up immediately.

Liu Jia next to him also stood up.

"Lin Mo, you dare not call me when you want to fight?"
