It was raining lightly in the sky, and the ground was muddy. Xiao Zhimiao stood on a wasteland with nowhere to hide, and was completely drenched.
She was completely unprepared and was trapped in the dungeon by the magic formations of those two gods.
Information panel:
[Welcome to the copy: Doll Town]
[Number of copies: 12]
[Main mission: Find the fleshly doll belonging to the god]
[Requirements for clearance: Complete the main mission, successfully pray for the coming of the gods, and there is no limit to the number of survivors. If you fail to complete the mission or use irregular means to clear the level, you will be judged]
[Hidden Mission: Doll’s Heart]
[Complete the hidden mission and you will receive a random gift item]
After carefully reading the copy information, Xiao Zhimiao turned off the panel.
There is no limit to the number of survivors in this dungeon, but the difficulty is estimated to be a little more difficult than the previous crypt dungeon.
The unlimited number of players means that some players can attack players at will regardless of the survival conditions required to pass the level.
Xiao Zhimiao is not afraid of any ghosts, gods or monsters. The most difficult and frightening thing in this world is always the human heart.
Xiao Zhimiao looked forward. In front of her was a small town built on the mountainside. The sky was covered with dark clouds. The gloomy sky seemed to be about to collapse. The dark sky and the silent and desolate town overlapped.
Together, it creates a very depressing visual experience.
It was raining and foggy, making the town look more like a ghost town.
Xiao Zhimiao looked back, and in the hazy mist he could see a hazy and twisted black ripple not far away from the wasteland. He could no longer see anything beyond the ripple.
That ripple is the boundary of the instance. You cannot leave the center of the instance in any way without clearing the level.
Xiao Zhimiao was still wearing the short-sleeved shirt she had worn when she came in. She didn't even have time to buy equipment before she was sent to the dungeon. The weather here was cold and rainy. Xiao Zhimiao rubbed her arms and walked into the town.
There is a river outside the town, with a wooden bridge spanning it. The waterwheel on the river has stopped rotating, and the river water is dark and exudes a pungent and unpleasant smell.
Looking carefully, the withered grass on the river bank is dyed dark red, which makes people wonder what this smelly stagnant water is.
"Finally found it, why is the guest here?"
Xiao Zhimiao had just crossed the bridge when a hunchbacked old woman came out of the rain and fog carrying an oil lamp.
The old woman's voice was rough and hoarse, which stood out in the quiet surroundings.
panel:
[Doll Town NPC: Yuna’s identity: an old waiter who receives tourists]
"Guest, come with me quickly, it's getting dark soon."
The old woman Yuna was wearing a cloak, her wrinkled face was half-hidden in the cloak and hat, and a few strands of white hair hung down from the hat. She only glanced at Xiao Zhimiao before turning and walking towards the town.
Xiao Zhimiao just took two steps forward when she stepped on something soft. She looked down and saw a dull face.
Xiao Zhimiao has very good eyesight, but he immediately recognized that this was a sewn doll.
The workmanship of this doll is very exquisite. If it were not for the fabric, Xiao Zhimiao would have felt that it looked like a real person.
Xiao Zhimiao took a step back and moved his feet away from the puppet.
Yuna felt Xiao Zhimiao stop, glanced back, and laughed twice. The laughter was like a bellows jamming, which made her whole body uncomfortable.
"They are all defective products. Guests want to see if the hotel has better ones."
Xiao Zhimiao looked away from the doll and continued to follow the old woman forward.
Yuna's pace was very slow, and Xiao Zhimiao patiently walked behind her, keeping a close distance from her.
It just so happened that she could use this little bit of traveling speed to observe the environment in the town.
The town looks like it has been abandoned for a while, the paintings on the walls have fallen off and are mottled, and the colorful roofs have lost their brightness and become dull.
Walking up from the foot of the mountain, Xiao Zhimiao didn't see a single living person, only some dolls scattered everywhere.
From the outside, these dolls look like they are made of cloth, just like the rag dolls children play with, but they are larger and more delicate.
According to Xiao Zhimiao's observation, these dolls come in different sizes, ranging from adult-sized to child-sized, and are all made according to human height.
The more you look at them, the more they look like real people. Moreover, these dolls are not just discarded on the ground casually, but maintain various postures, some are sitting on the steps, and some are standing outside the door.
But probably because the fabric dolls don't have enough support for their bodies, they seem to be leaning limply against the wall.
More dolls are lying on the ground in a twisted posture, or curled up into a ball.
Obviously these dolls are not very realistic, but they become weird because of their human-like struggling movements.
Yuna took Xiao Zhimiao around the town, walking slowly for nearly an hour before reaching the door of the hotel hidden in an alley.
The hotel sign is very old and the handwriting on it is blurred. I don't know what the name of the hotel is.
There are two wall lamps hanging at the door, and two dolls are placed on the left and right, wearing the same vest, trousers, and bow tie, dressed as waiters.
However, the doll looks very old, the clothes on it are all yellowed, there are burrs in some places, and threads are exposed from everywhere.
Yuna opened the door, stood on one side and stretched out her hand tremblingly, making a gesture of invitation to Xiao Zhimiao, "Distinguished guest, welcome to the Doll Town."
When Xiao Zhimiao passed by the two dolls, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the eyes of the two dolls moved, and their faces seemed to turn a little bit, as if they were chasing her figure.
When she looked over, there was no movement from the two dolls.
Xiao Zhimiao glanced at the doll and then looked away, entering the hotel.
As soon as she entered the hotel, several eyes looked at her at the same time.
They are all players.
"There are still vacant rooms upstairs. Guests can stay in whichever room they want."
"It's best not to go out at night. It's not good to get lost. The old lady is old and has weak legs. It's not easy to find guests."
After Yuna said this to Xiao Zhimiao, without even looking at the other players, she walked straight to the room under the stairs on the first floor.
A male player frowned and looked at Xiao Zhimiao and said, "Where in the town did you come from? You've been gone for so long."
Xiao Zhimiao calmly glanced around the six people in the lobby on the first floor. Although their clothes were all the same as in the game, they basically did not correspond to the professional dress style.
Unlike the previous crypt dungeon, you can tell what profession the player is just by looking at their clothes.
Moreover, Xiao Zhimiao discovered that no player checked her panel.
Xiao Zhimiao thought for a while and answered him: "The entrance to the town."
As soon as she said that, a girl said bluntly, "That's a bit far. This old woman walks very slowly."
Xiao Zhimiao nodded slightly and agreed with the girl's words.
"Are you all in the same group?" Xiao Zhimiao asked. This sentence has two meanings. One is whether they are teammates, and the other is whether they are together.
It depends on how they understand it.
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl who just spoke immediately said again: "Yes, I was lucky enough to randomly get together with Sister Yun and the others. Otherwise, if you were brought here alone like you, little sister, I would be scared to death. This
There are dolls everywhere in the town, but no one can be seen."
The player next to her whom she called Sister Yun patted her on the back and said, "You'll get used to it if you have two more."
It seems like this girl is a semi-novice player?
However, as there was nothing confirmed yet, Xiao Zhimiao took a wait-and-see attitude, and she did not dare to check the information panels of these players rashly.
After all, no player has checked her board since she entered the hotel, which is different from the crypt dungeon or the main city where players check the board at any time.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Xiao Zhimiao stopped talking and looked at the fire burning in the fireplace. He pulled up a chair and sat down in front of the fireplace, warming himself by the fire to drive away the cold air.
There were two players talking quietly there, looking at Xiao Zhimiao from time to time.
The girl who had been talking to her jumped up to her, smiling innocently and cutely, "Hello, little sister, my name is Mo Ke, I am a witch by profession, I have only passed two classes, what is your name, and what is my occupation?"
ah?"
Xiao Zhimiao watched the girl named Mo Ke reach out to her, blinking at her with a pair of big eyes, with a friendly smile on her face, looking innocent and harmless.
Xiao Zhimiao leaned back on the chair and did not hold Mo Ke's hand. "Xiao Zhimiao is a shooter by profession."
When he heard that her profession was a shooter, Mo Ke said "Wow" with a look of surprise on his face: "This is the first time I have seen the profession of a shooter."
"You just came to the dungeon not long ago, so naturally you are rare. The shooter's attack ability is very strong."
The woman whom Mo Ke called Sister Yun said.
"Then Sister Xiao, you must be very good. You have passed many dungeons, right?"
"It's okay, just a dozen or so." Xiao Zhimiao boasted calmly.
From the time she entered the door until now, only Mo Ke and Sister Yun have communicated with her, while the other players have looked at her with a wait-and-see attitude.
This Mo Ke looked innocent. If he was really that innocent, he was either pretending, or else he would have directly checked her attribute panel and wouldn't have spoken to her in a probing tone.
"Then Sister Xiao, you must have passed this dungeon, right?" Mo Ke looked at her with an expectant look on his face.
Xiao Zhimiao gave her a faint side glance, acting as if he didn't want to talk to her, "What do you think? Don't you know?"
Want to trick her? Haha.
When Xiao Zhimiao was serious and serious, she had an aura that kept strangers away from her. Lu Qingyang always said that she was the scariest when she had no expression on her face, and her eyes felt like she was trying to eat people.
Lu Qingyang's words are always exaggerated, but there is also a five-point description.
"Ah? No...you don't know what?" Mo Ke saw Xiao Zhimiao becoming impatient, his voice became softer, and he became cautious.
Xiao Zhimiao didn't want to continue acting with Mo Ke and made too many mistakes, so she got up and walked upstairs.
Mo Ke looked at Xiao Zhimiao's back, and the smile on his lips dropped.
