02. Want to understand the meaning of life? Want to truly live?
I sat back on the bed and blew out a breath. Dust rose up from the suitcase and spread out.
Mu Su stood up the suitcase, unlocked the locks on both sides, and slowly unfolded it.
An ax with a bright red blade appeared in front of him. There were no strange sarcomas or anything unusual, it was just an ordinary axe.
【Fujiang Ax】
【rare】
[The fire ax stained with Tomie's blood has lost the ability to reproduce infinitely because it left the dreamland. Now it only relies on you. Pick up the ax and you will hear its sound. 】
*Only you can hear its sound, to outsiders it is just an ordinary axe.
Mu Su stretched out his hand to hold the handle of the axe, and a crisp sound similar to Fujiang's, but also childish, sounded in his mind.
[It was so dark just now, I was going to be scared]
After that, no matter what Musu asked it, he got no answer, so he threw it aside.
【Don’t put me down!】
The moment he left his hand, the sound of Fujiang Ax came again.
Musu didn't believe it and picked it up.
【I almost thought I was going to lose you】
After repeated attempts several times, Mu Su came to the obvious conclusion: the ax only had the ability to trigger speech.
Then he had evil intentions——
[Hahaha, it’s very itchy like this]
Mu Su gestured at his crotch, his expression a little aching.
It’s not easy to handle... at least there needs to be a hole.
Reluctant to take Fujiang Ax out, Mu Su placed Fujiang Ax on the bedside, and in the anxious voice of "Don't leave me!", he cast his eyes on the door.
A door bolt the size of a baby's arm was lying in front of the door. Mu Su walked over, picked it up, and stuffed it into his waist.
Squeak——
The door was opened with a scream. A deep corridor appeared in front of him.
Dead silence wandered in the dim corridor. At the end of the corridor, the stained windows provided the only light. In the dust-filled room, eight doors on both sides of the corridor faced each other.
A head cautiously poked out. He glanced around furtively, leaned out, and tentatively touched the floor with his toes.
The floorboards creaked softly, and overlapping footprints were scattered all over the dusty wooden boards.
Without new, weird, muddy footprints, last night's scene might have been an illusion.
Mu Su probably felt that being cautious seemed timid. Mu Su coughed lightly, puffed out his chest and jumped into the corridor. He quickly walked to the end and closed the door tightly before reaching out and pushing it open.
【You have left the safe house】
[This is a brand new world that you can explore freely. Wanghai Cliff is relatively safe, but when you decide to set sail and leave, danger will be everywhere. 】
[Sanity value is loading...already loaded]
In Mu Su's field of vision, a new line of green bars appears below the status bar in the upper left corner.
[The sanity value is displayed as a percentage. When your mood fluctuates, or involves strange or indescribable things, the sanity value will increase or decrease]
【Don't let it go down】
The system prompts only a few sentences, for fear that players will know too much.
The setting sun in the sky reflected Mu Su's face red, and his shadow became long and narrow. Dark clouds rolled behind him, and the sea breeze swept across, blowing the tips of his hair.
A storm is coming.
"After Sleep" has been launched for less than two days. With a base of nearly two million and a steady stream of new players joining the game, the number of players who have cleared the single-player nightmare and can enter and exit their own rooms is not too many, but not too few.
There are already dozens of players in the open space, scattered and exploring. This somewhat dissipates the weirdness and depression here.
Several longhouses and huts surrounded an open space, and in the middle of the open space was a bonfire reduced to ashes.
The sea breeze blows all year round, and the inside of the house is intact, but the back is covered with a layer of gray-black crystals, which look like ashes when you stretch your hands. The windows are slightly better. Although they are turbid, you can still barely see the outside world.
The game may not allow all players to be in Wanghai Cliff. It is possible that this is one of the novice villages, but if it is really the only novice village, it means that the room space is overlapping. There may be a number behind each window.
Thousands of players. Some are lying on the bed playing dungeons, or looking out the window.
There are cliffs on three sides of Wanghai Cliff, more than ten meters high. The rocks below the cliff are rugged, and black waves are coming, but before they touch the cliff, they are turned into foam, slowly fade away, and then come again.
To the south, which is the direction where the sun sets, a winding path leads directly to the bottom of the cliff. Three small wooden boats are upside down on the beach.
The cliffs on both sides blocked the waves, and the place seemed calm and calm, but the water was still as dark and dark as ink, making people not want to get close.
Some players gathered around the boat, and soon they gathered together to discuss how to use the boat to leave the sea.
There is no doubt that Wanghai Cliff is in the deep sea.
There is no doubt that a small boat cannot sail in the deep sea.
The wind gradually increased, and I seemed to hear the sound of the dark sea water lapping against the rocks.
Players on the coast took action. Several players pushed three boats into the sea, with three people on each boat, and they were carried away from the coast by the low tide in a "Zigzag" shape.
The time they chose was not the right time. After driving a few hundred meters, as far as the eye could see, the fog that always appeared every dusk clung to the sea and rolled in.
The players on the wooden boat became panicked, reaching out to stir up the water and trying to return.
It didn't help, the thick fog swallowed up the nine people and the boat together.
Not long after, the boat came back and ran aground on the beach, with no one on it.
The players on the beach looked at each other, and no one dared to go up. They all left before the fog reached Wanghai Cliff.
After watching for a while from a high place, Mu Su returned to the wooden house after feeling that he had lost his ability.
【Oh thank God, you are back】
He touched Fu Jiang's ax on the pillow and lay down on the bed.
[Multiplayer ordinary dreamland has been unlocked]
[Currently: Multiplayer Ordinary Dreamland...]
[It is currently on normal difficulty and no special world view will be loaded.]
【Number of people: 4-10】
【loading……】
【Happy gaming】
Thick fog came outside the window, making the room dark.
There seemed to be something vaguely walking in the fog outside the window.
Mu Su's eyesight turned dark.
…
A bone-chilling chill suddenly swept through his body, but then slowly subsided in an instant.
In the freezer, Mu Su opened his eyes.
He was standing, his body fixed to the recliner by straps.
The eyelashes are hung with white frost, and the white breath he exhales hits the glass cover dozens of centimeters in front of him, leaving a mist.
"You start with one person and one dog, and you have to pick up all the equipment?" Mu Su muttered, exhaling and leaving more mist on the glass cover.
laugh--
Without any warning, the freezer compartment cover suddenly opened, and the laces were automatically untied. Fortunately, Mu Su was prepared and stumbled forward before standing up.
Other players in the freezer were not so lucky, and did not expect it to suddenly open. The muffled sound from the fall was constant. Some players did not even wake up. But after such a fall, they should wake up.
For a moment, Musu became the only player standing here.
A total of eight players queued up for this instance, six men and two women.
"The quality of the newcomers this time is good." Mu Su looked around, nodded secretly, and said loudly: "I am Zhang Jie, a senior."
