Feng Bujue once again entered the state of watching the opening CG from a first-person perspective. What appeared in front of him was a distant view, an ordinary rural town, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with fields and forests visible on the outskirts of the town, and modern facilities in the town.
Complete, schools, shopping streets, residential buildings, office buildings, etc... This small town reminded Feng Bujue of Pingtian's hometown, and an ominous premonition rose faintly...
【Yingguo Town, a place far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.】
[In the quiet town, there is a strange story circulating. 】
[About thirty years ago, in the first few days of November, the police station in the town received multiple reports of missing persons. Several young men and women in the town were missing. The dates when these people were last seen were
It’s all the same day, October 31.]
[The missing persons were neither alive nor dead. At first, everyone thought that these young people had eloped or ran away from home and went to places outside the town. However, year after year, there was no news from these people, and since then
Every year since then, on the same day, similar cases will occur...]
[All signs indicate that the missing persons did not leave the town... Therefore, the police launched a thorough investigation into this incident. 】
[Although the police visited many residents in the town and accumulated a mountain of confession records, the investigation still did not make any substantial progress. The only information that can be called a clue is the superstitious words spoken by some elders...
】
[The theory of "The Curse of the Well of Resentment" also began to spread because of this investigation. 】
[Legend... There is a cursed well in an abandoned shrine in the mountains. Every year on the last night of October, the music of the Kingdom of the Dead will be heard from the well. That night, anyone who hears this music will...
Come to the shrine and plunge into the well.]
[“They can never come back because they went to ‘another world’.” The old people said this with certainty. 】
[The investigation reached a deadlock. In desperation, the police came to the mountains with a tentative attitude and searched the abandoned shrine. Unexpectedly, they actually found several items lost by the missing people. 】
[On the night of October 31st of the same year, a team of police officers guarded the well, trying to explore the truth of the "Shenyin" incident. But they also failed to come back...]
[The investigation was put on hold indefinitely, and the local government ordered villagers to enter the mountains at night and sealed the wells in the shrine with cement.]
[But at the end of October every year, disappearances are still happening...]
Following the voice prompts, the camera gradually zoomed in from a distant view to a close-up view. Facing the mountain, a trail could be seen in front of it, extending all the way up into the mountain forest.
[Time flies, and many years have passed in the blink of an eye. The urban area of Yingguo Town has increased, and the population base has more than tripled. Such missing cases have gradually been ignored by people, and the legend has been forgotten. 】
[One autumn night, six young people from a small town came here, intending to go to a shrine in the mountains for a courage test. And this night happened to be October 31st. 】
"Is this a test of courage..." Feng Bujue listened to the introduction and complained: "This is obviously seeking death!"
He thought the introduction would end here, but unexpectedly, a setting description similar to the "Seven Mysteries on Campus" script appeared again:
[From the beginning of the script, the system will randomly select one person in the player's team to obtain the "Protagonist Halo". 】
[Players with the protagonist's aura will not be judged as dead except for disconnection due to high fright value, active disconnection, and active exit from the script. Any other form of death method, such as monster attacks, falling from heights, etc.
When the survival value is exhausted and returns to zero, etc., it will be "luckily" terminated the moment before it occurs. Even if the termination method is infinitely close to zero in probability and contradicts logic, it can still happen.】
[The protagonist's aura will be transferred due to a variety of special flags. Players are asked to explore by themselves and make good use of its rules to transfer. 】
[When the number of people in the team is less than or equal to two, the protagonist’s halo disappears. 】
[The current player with the protagonist’s aura is——The Brave and Invincible.]
After this explanation is completed, the script officially begins.
There were five people standing next to Feng Bujue. One of them he had seen before was the brother of Brave Invincible who was tricked by him once. Brave Invincible is the leader of Order Studio, which is responsible for the research and intelligence collection of "Fist" in fighting specialization during the internal beta period.
As a player, his current job content remains unchanged, his level has reached level 23, and his title has been changed from [Reckless Fist Fighter] to [Xingyi Boxer].
Among the other four people, two are also players of Order. One is called [Meng Jingzen], who is also level 23, and is titled [Cold-faced Killer]. As soon as this guy appeared, he took out a knife from his pocket.
He brought a pack of cigarettes, took one in his mouth, lit it for himself, stroked his permed hair, and blew out the cigarette ring.
The third person of Order is a female player. Needless to say in appearance, she is also a beauty. She has red lips and white teeth, a delicate face, long black hair, and wears Order's standard white coat and shawl, lined with a blue suit. Her nickname
It’s [Ye Zhi], with some unclear meaning. Feng Bujue inferred that this ID is homophonic with her real name. Ye Zhi’s level is twenty, and judging from her title [Emergency Physician], she is a medical expert.
Correct.
There are also two players, both male, both level 18. One is called [Copernicus] and the other is [Galileo], with even more amazing titles, one is called [Discoverer], and the other is called [Investigator]. They are
They formed a team and lined up together, so they probably didn't get away with it, but neither of them had club badges on them, and their looks were nothing special. They were wearing obviously cheap ordinary T-shirts and trousers, and the color and style were slightly different from the novice uniforms.
That's all.
In the eyes of others, these two are just ordinary casual players. Their titles are probably related to the investigation expertise. Their gaming skills are definitely not that good. They have not even joined the club. They are either too weak to be accepted by others, or they are too poor.
I can't afford it myself. Anyway, looking at their clothes, it's safe to say they are poor. Whether they are weak or not remains to be seen.
However, in Feng Bujue's opinion, there are two possibilities for the strength of these two people, and they are two extremes.
The first extreme is that he suspects that these two guys are GM...
The experience of clearing the script of Derivatives at least made Feng Bujue know one thing, that is, Derivatives can only appear in a six-person team survival mode. Although according to Pan Feng and Hua Xiong, the probability of encountering them is very low.
, the probability of meeting the same player twice is extremely slim. But Feng Bujue is quite confident in his bad character.
If this script really has a spin-off, then... from head to toe, it can be said that there is nothing that these two people do not meet the standards of GM. They have a moderate level, popular nicknames, and low-key clothing; they act in pairs, and there is no club.
The badge and title seem to be deceptive, maybe they were adjusted like this on purpose...
They don't seem to be very strong, and it's hard to leave a deep impression on others. Such players are easily ignored by others after clearing the level. Even if someone sends a friend request out of politeness, they won't have much thought after being rejected.
.
The second extreme that Feng Bujue considered was that there was a higher chance that these two people were not GMs. They just thought too much. Then...the strength of these two people is very likely to be extremely bad.
Because the combination of Order's three people is obviously not weak, Feng Bujue is not sure whether they are star players, but judging from the apparent strength of their levels and titles, the three have a clear division of labor and extraordinary combat power.
.Besides, their club ranks first on both lists, and the two club buffs they received must be very powerful. This must also be factored into the player's strength.
When the system generates a script, the team's level of difficulty is proportional to the income. If six super players form a team and line up together, they will naturally encounter extremely difficult scripts, which is what they asked for. But this kind of
There are three players, two one players. The possibility of creating strong and weak combinations in the queue is very high. After all, a game will not be full of masters. Casual players will always be in the majority, and they will be the vast majority.
The first team survival scenario when Feng Bujue first met Brother Long is a good example. A high-level powerful player led two low-level but capable players, plus two mid-level rookies.
Therefore, Feng Bujue's second hypothesis is... two guys who are very bad at playing have gotten into this team. They are so weak that no club is willing to accept them. It's also very difficult to use the game currency to buy cheap clothes and add attributes.
It’s not easy anymore, so I can’t afford to open a club.
Of course, no matter which extreme the facts go to, this script will never be associated with the word "easy". Feng Bujue actually hopes in his heart that these two are not GMs. It doesn't matter if they are almost playing, just follow the team.
If you listen to the command at the critical moment, there will be no problem in clearing the level. But what if they are really administrators... The difficulty of this script is scary when I think about it...
"Oh! It's your kid!" Brave Invincible also recognized Feng Bujue and walked up to him and said.
"Brother Wudi, you're fine." Feng Bujue said.
"Go away... don't get too close." The Brave Invincible is not a fool. Before, he might have suspected that the final pass of the House of Usher script relied on three people, namely Xi Yu, Bei Ling and Long Ao Min. But at this moment, he saw Feng Feng
Unexpectedly, the title of [Plot Explorer] basically made it all clear: "Bumping into the door, right? Taking off the door handle, right? You were really good at pretending, but then you cleared the level when I died?"
"It was indeed not in my expectation that you would die that time." Feng Bujue replied with a smile, "But it was definitely right to split up and expand the search scope at the beginning of the script, and the facts later proved..."
"Okay... don't explain. Anyway, I don't know what happened next." Brave Invincible interrupted: "It was true that I underestimated you last time. This time I call you big brother. Okay, please do the same.
Stop pretending to be dumbfounded and help me clear the level."
"I'm so embarrassed when you say it with such support." Feng Bujue said politely, but his face was full of pride.
"Wudi, are you your friend?" Meng Jingchan walked over. At some point, he took out a small bottle of beer from his bag and was already drinking it.
"Ah... I'm not familiar with it. I encountered it once in a previous script." Brave Invincible replied, and then turned to Feng Bujue and said, "Huh? Judging from your title, you are a pure puzzle player, right?
"This problem is a matter of course for him. Even in the Order, there is no player like Feng Bujue who has an average increase in all specialization levels and is capable of fighting and planning.
"I am more inclined to solve puzzles." Feng Bujue said: "Of course, I can't say that I am very weak in combat."
"Oh? Listening to this tone, you are both civil and military?" Meng Jingchan said. Before Feng Bujue could respond, he said with emotion: "Ah... it's good to be young. Don't look at me like this... I
I used to be quite cool, handsome, and domineering..."
"This...Brother Zen, I visually judge that you are in your twenties now, and you look like you are ready to smoke, drink, and have sex..." Feng Bujue said with the corner of his mouth twitching.
Even the Brave Invincible felt a little embarrassed: "This is his catchphrase, don't worry about it..."
The six of them chatted for a few minutes and got a general understanding of their respective specialties. During this period, Feng Bujue took the time to use [Victory over a Thousand Miles] once. The boss data he saw was:
[Name: Well of Resentment]
【Race:???】
【Level:30】
【depth:???】
[Well head diameter: 122 cm]
[Fighting style: Illusion]
[Weakness: After blocking the supply of power, it will become an ordinary dry well]
[Have skills: Soul Swallowing]
[Risk level: High.]
This information coincides with the description of the well in the script introduction, but the "weakness" item is worth pondering. After "blocking the power supply", the resentment well seems to have lost its function, but the well's
Where does the power come from?
If the source of its power exists in "another world", does it have to be swallowed by it first, and then block the power at that end? Let's not say whether the act of being "swallowed" will lead to direct death, even if it survives to another world.
On one side, and successfully destroyed the power supply of the Well of Resentment, the player will definitely not be able to come back, because by then the Well of Resentment has become an ordinary well, and the connection between the two worlds will naturally be interrupted.
Another hypothesis seems more reliable, that is... the power supply of the Well of Resentment actually comes from this world, hidden somewhere in this town or in the mountains. Players only need to find out the truth to pass the level.
.
About five minutes after the script introduction ended, when everyone was preparing to set off, the system's task prompt sounded at the right time:
[The main mission has been triggered]
【Enter the mountains and look for abandoned shrines. 】
