It felt like a long time, and it felt like only a moment. When I woke up, I found myself lying on the cold ground.
"Cold...how can it be so cold?" I shivered and got up from the ground.
After I stood up completely, I quickly looked around.
But it was so gray that I couldn't see my surroundings clearly.
"What kind of place is this? Why is it so gray? Am I dreaming?" Looking at this gray world, my face was full of confusion.
But the confusion on my face didn't last long. The next moment, an explosion of pain hit my brain, and I remembered everything.
"I successfully started the Snake Recording mission, and then there was a harsh sound, and I fainted."
"It seems that something strange happened while I was unconscious." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
But the meditation soon ended, and I turned my attention to my left hand.
At this moment, I am holding a very thick and shabby book in my left hand, which is the book "Snake Man" that led to all this.
"This book is still here." I muttered and turned the book to the last page.
The dialogue on the last page has disappeared, and there are a few new lines of blood-red small letters written on it.
[Snake Record Mission (Trial Period Mission) (Started, Not Completed)]
[Task requirements: Understand the secrets buried for hundreds of years in the Snake Tower and successfully eliminate the resentment of the resentful spirits. Both must be completed]
[Rewards for completing the mission: The Shining doll, the blood of the ruined snake man, and the physical bookstore in the real world. You can only choose one of the three rewards, no multiple choices. Note: If the mission is successful, you will automatically return to the real world]
[Punishment for mission failure: erase the life of Liang Fan, the tenth administrator of the horror bookstore, and re-select the tenth administrator of the horror bookstore]
[Task Tip: Have you ever seen a spliced body? The spliced body is the most beautiful]
At the end of these new lines of small blood-red characters, there is also a red square seal, and the words "Horror Bookstore" are also engraved in the square seal.
"It seems that all this is not a dream. I must complete the task as required to understand the secrets buried for hundreds of years in the Snake Tower and eliminate the resentment of the resentful spirits. Otherwise, my life will be wiped out." I shook my head with a helpless smile.
But soon, I stopped shaking my head and said in shock: "Wait a minute, the mission requires me to understand the secrets in the Snake Tower. Does that mean I'm still in the Snake Tower?"
I immediately moved back and forth in this gray mess.
Taking advantage of my limited field of vision, I discovered that I was really still in the Snake Tower, and was in Room 504 where I lived!
"One thing that needs special attention is that the bloody words say that after completing the task, you will automatically return to the real world. In other words, the Snake Tower I am in now does not belong to the real world. So what kind of world is this place? Is it the legendary Yincao?
Underworld?" Full of doubts, I moved to the window and looked outside.
The outside of the Snake Tower was also gray and it was impossible to see anything clearly.
"Maybe the outside of the Snake Tower is as prosperous as usual, but there is a mysterious force that completely separates the real world from the Snake Tower world, so what I saw with my own eyes was just a gray area." I touched my chin and analyzed secretly,
But soon, I gave up thinking about this issue. After all, I knew nothing about the world in front of me, and no matter how much I thought about it, it would be in vain.
"Let's think about how to complete the task, otherwise my life will be in danger. One of the requirements of this task is to eliminate the resentment of the resentful spirits. Are there ghosts and resentful spirits in this world?" I sighed to myself.
, then left the window and sat by the bed.
At this moment, the atheism I have believed in for more than 20 years continues to collapse in my heart.
There is no reason why I don't believe in ghosts and gods. The situation I have fallen into now is the best evidence. It seems that I have to be careful, otherwise I won't even know how to die.
"There is one more thing that requires additional attention. This Snake Man Record mission is marked with the wording of a probationary mission. Maybe there will be a regular mission later?" I used my imagination to guess all the contents contained in this bloody word. After all, I really
It is very necessary to know this.
"Oh, fortunately, this mission has both punishment and reward. It clearly states that as long as I complete the Snake Book mission, I can choose a reward, a Shining doll, a ruined Snake blood and a bookstore in the real world? These are all
What kind of reward is this? It’s so weird. Horror bookstores really have these things?” As I frowned in thought, time slowly passed.
I don't know if it's because of the passage of time, but I feel that the temperature in the room is getting lower and lower, and even the air is about to freeze.
"It's almost minus 15 degrees Celsius." I quickly put my thoughts back and went to the closet to wrap myself in some thick clothes.
Southwest University, where I study, is located in the southwest of Xicheng. Xicheng is like spring all year round, and the temperature rarely drops below zero even in winter.
But in this so-called snake tower world, it is really strange that the weather is so cold.
"It seems that some things have really changed, including the weather temperature in the Snake Tower." I put my hands in my pockets, trying to get rid of the coldness on my palms.
"The temperature at which snakes hibernate is minus 15 degrees Celsius. Does this have anything to do with the temperature drop in the snake building?"
"It seems that this snake man has been appointed
The task may involve the legendary snake man, I don’t know if it’s good or bad.”
"But for me, it should be the only good news."
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Indeed, if this mission is really related to snake people, then I can get many snake people secrets and write the paper about snake people.
"But if I want to successfully finish my thesis, I have to return to the real world alive, but I believe that I will definitely be able to return to the real world!" At this moment, a trace of perseverance rose in my heart.
Although I was born into a privileged family, I was carefree from childhood.
But I never relax just because my parents are the bosses of the company.
In order to cultivate my own character, I have always insisted on living an independent life, so in terms of mental perseverance, I am no less determined than children from poor families.
After thinking about everything, I was ready to open the door and explore the Snake Tower according to the task requirements to see if I could find some useful clues.
But as soon as I pressed my hand on the doorknob, there was a boring knock on the door.
Dong...dong...dong...dong dong dong...
As the knock on the door rang, the silence in the Snake House was instantly broken, and my face was filled with panic!
I carefully distinguished the knock on the door and found that the door that was knocked happened to be the door of Room 504 where I rented!
"Is there anyone else in the Snake House?" At this moment, my thoughts were in a mess.
Originally, I thought I was the only one in the Snake Tower world, but I never expected that my guess was wrong. There were other people in the Snake Tower!
Since there are other people in the Snake Tower, it means that the dangers you face will be doubled!
"Who could be knocking on the door?" Although I was very scared, I subconsciously lowered my breath and pretended that no one was in the room.
Perhaps because no one responded, the knocks on the door became louder and louder.
As the knocking on the door became louder and louder, an impatient voice suddenly came: "Beautiful guy in room 504, are you in the room? There is a power outage in the building today. Remember not to walk around casually, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
I recognize this voice. It is the voice of Zhang Tao, the landlord of Shelou.
"In my memory, Zhang Tao has always been a good old man. He usually speaks kindly and rarely loses his temper, but why is he so impatient now?" I frowned and thought to myself.
But thinking about it, I still choose not to respond.
While I didn't respond, I pressed the door handle harder to prevent Zhang Tao from jumping over the wall and breaking in.
