Chapter 197 Alarm
Jiang Juan tried to imagine the scene where he and Xiao Shi reunited.
In his dream, Xiao Shi also had such an incomprehensible look, as if he didn't care about the evil things he had done, and asked him for what he deserved.
On Huangquan Road, Xiao Shiyi was smoking a cigarette by the side of the Naihe Bridge. When he saw him among the people passing by in a hurry, he burst into a smile, and greeted him after a long absence with an understatement "Yo, here we are".
But the sweet dreams will turn into nightmares in the end, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Shi turned into a blood-drenched appearance, asking himself sharply why he wanted to kill him!
An uneven blood hole in his chest kept bleeding out. Jiang Juan pressed his wound in vain, trying to stop the blood gushing out, but he couldn't do anything.
In a trance, he returned to the day of the confrontation on the deck. This time it was his turn to be stabbed, waiting for his fate on the side of the ship.
Xiao Shi smiled ferociously, and pushed him into the deep sea amidst the shrill and ear-piercing ghost cries.
The icy sea water engulfed him, and the fish gnawed at his body, making him unrecognizable.
Just before he was suffocated, Jiang Juan would always be shaken awake by Asu. The boy looked at him in horror and cried loudly: "I thought you wouldn't wake up, please don't scare me..."
This nightmare continued from the day Xiao Shi left until now, and he repeated the process of killing Xiao Shi every day, unable to get out of the endless pain.
So when Xiao Shi appeared in front of him again, he couldn't believe what he saw. Even though he felt the hot body temperature and real feeling from that embrace, he still felt that what he was facing was the illusion given to him by the system. .
Even if it's a hallucination... at least there is a chance to see Xiao Shi again and apologize to him personally.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I regret it, I really regret it, don't hate me..."
Xiao Shi hugged Jiang Juan tightly, holding him in shock, and let out a long breath.
"I was scared to death. I almost couldn't see you. It's good to be alive. It's good to see you again..."
Jiang Juan opened his eyes wide, caressing Xiao Shi's heart, eager to confirm something.
That solid heartbeat told him that Xiao Shi was still alive and had returned to him.
"Sorry, I don't really want to bother you if I can, but..." Yin Wuya glanced at them, who looked like they were soaked in water, "Do you want to find a place where the rain is not so heavy to communicate? It's not popular anymore It's been raining heavily."
Xiao Shi dragged Jiang Juan into the B&B, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw that the lobby was full of tourists who had just disembarked. People whispered, feeling that this trip was weird everywhere.
The system notified at this time: [All players have arrived in the safe area, the current number of players in the field: 78.There are still 7 hours before the official opening of the "Trench". Players are requested to follow the NPC guidelines in an orderly manner. The system will announce the game rules at 0:[-] tomorrow. 】
All of a sudden there was complete silence, and a needle drop could be heard.
Jiang Juan found an empty corner, helped Xiao Shi to sit on the sofa, turned around and found Zhou Xuan who was leaning against the wall and looking at the players, Qin Shu who was hiding in the crowd, and The easy-going Kyle surrounded by beauties.
Someone couldn't help asking questions: "What does the safe zone mean, and what are the players and the trench? Aren't we here for sightseeing? There are thousands of people on board, why are only a few hundred of us going to the island? What exactly is going on?"
A staff member walked into the crowd with a smile on his face and explained in standard Mandarin: "Welcome everyone to Hissel Island. Please allow me to introduce the history here. There was a historical building on Hissel Island The long-standing ancient city is called Antaman, where Lan'an people have lived for generations. Although this sea tribe has a population of only tens of thousands, all of them are brave and good at fighting. Thousands of years ago, they ruled the large sea area here, and no one can violate it."
Sitting beside Xiao Shi, Jiang Juan said in a low voice: "This should be the background of the game setting. In the next few days, the system will pull us into the instance based on this world view. Most of the information given by the NPC is very important. , even life-saving at critical times.”
Xiao Shi's understanding of "Ghost Domain" is limited. Unlike Jiang Juan, who learned the system's operating mechanism from Bai Lishu and Ka Suo earlier, his understanding of the hunting game is still limited to the fake game that Jiang Yu organized last year. "Paradise", looked a little surprised when he heard this.
He held Jiang Juan's hand tightly and refused to let go, and the man obediently let him hold it.
Someone raised a question: "Fart! This island only appeared last year. Where did it come from with a thousand-year history? You can't treat people as fools just to deceive tourists to spend money! Can't you change a more reliable story!"
"that is!"
"This is too nonsense..."
The staff ignored these voices, and continued to explain with that polite smile: "Lan'an people make a living from fishing. One day, when the fishermen went out to sea, they caught a snow-white fish with a dazzling silver light. The tail fin is like a celestial maiden's feather coat, and it is a sea fish with a large pearl in its mouth. People regard it as the incarnation of the goddess of the sea, Ilana, and worship it devoutly in the temple of the goddess, but the holy fish that has left the deep sea cannot be found in the temple. It survived in the water tank, but could not escape, so before death, it cursed all those who killed it to live forever in the dark trench, and only at night can it float on the surface of the sea to breathe the air of the world."
Her smile was very stiff, and her voice was a little mechanical. Many people felt strange and faintly afraid, so they didn't interrupt her again.
She continued: "After the death of the holy fish, strange things happened frequently on the island. At first, the fishing boats hit the rocks and sank on a calm day with high visibility. Later, the children on the island began to disappear one by one. The sea water and blood stains, the whole island is shrouded in a strange atmosphere."
Xiao Shi clutched his chest, leaned sideways on the armrest of the sofa, and said in a low voice, "It seems to be listening to a strange talk."
Jiang Juan made a silent gesture to him.
"This year is the third year that there are no children laughing on the island. The saint Aurora and the high priest were inspired by the goddess to unite. Now they are ten months pregnant and are about to give birth. You need to survive on the island for thirteen days before you can come Rescue."
After saying this, she fell silent.
Kyle avoided the girls whispering beside him, pretended not to know them, sat on the sofa opposite them, pretended to be playing with the crafts on the table, and whispered to them in English: "It seems that she It's the manager of this hotel, the NPC who picks up the players in the dungeon."
"We're going to stay in this ghostly place for thirteen days. It doesn't seem like a big problem if we have enough food and fresh water, but the game will definitely not give us a good living environment, otherwise wouldn't it be very boring?"
As always, Xiao Shi tried his best to take advantage of it, and when Jiang Juan was not paying attention, he simply fell on his shoulder.
"Are these thirteen days really just a simple thirteen days?" Jiang Juan touched Xiao Shi's head uncharacteristically, feeling uneasy, "Brother's original thirteen days were thirteen checkpoints."
Kyle shook his head, "The system hasn't officially announced the rules yet, so it doesn't make sense to think too much. I think it will happen later..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound in the hall.
A grumpy man was angry for a moment, and threw the glass in his hand, "Are you kidding! You tricked us here with cheap travel expenses, and now you are talking about strange things? I won't play with you anymore! I'm going to Go back, go back and complain to you!"
The man went out angrily, and was stunned as soon as he stepped out of the hotel.
The huge luxury cruise ship that stopped at the port just now disappeared in the blink of an eye. It just...disappeared in front of everyone!
This time even the way back was cut off, the man was so emotional that he immediately jumped up and rushed towards the hotel manager, raising his fist to hit him.
The female manager didn't move or hide, as if she didn't feel the danger approaching at all.
Zhou Xuan, who had been standing quietly for a long time, was about to make a move when a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the homestay.
The sound didn't seem to be transmitted through a medium, but was transmitted directly to the brain. When everyone heard the sound, their first reaction was not to cover their ears, but to help their painful heads.
"This... what the fuck is this?!"
【warn!Important NPCs will not be refreshed repeatedly after death, and the player will be left to explore the clues if the task is broken! 】
"What kind of idiot! I really think I will be scared by you? I'll beat my mother, how can I..."
To say that the man is also really tough, he dared to continue to attack the NPC after hearing the warning from the system, but as soon as his fist landed on the female manager, he convulsed all over the next second, foamed at the mouth and fell down.
For a moment, everyone fell silent, staring at the motionless man on the ground, their hearts beating fast.
Someone boldly went over and touched his wrist, and fell to the ground in fright on the spot.
"Deadly...dead! He he he...dead! Dead!!"
Everyone's face changed drastically when they heard the words, and they all took a few steps back, for fear of getting involved with themselves.
Xiao Shi's eyes froze, he got up and walked to the man's side, flattened his body, and began to do CPR.
Jiang Juan also came to him and started the timer with his mobile phone.
He caught a glimpse of something in the female manager's hand from the corner of his eye, and said in a low voice, "Yes."
Xiao Shi was doing chest compressions for someone, "Under normal circumstances, electric shocks do not kill people, but there are a few cases where they can cause death. It is very likely that this person has cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and he became ill after being stimulated. "
"Do you need artificial respiration?"
Jiang Juan asked this question with a serious face, making Xiao Shi dumbfounded.
"Under normal circumstances, it should be necessary, but..." He raised his head and pointed to the electronic clock hanging on the wall of the hall. "The system shows that there are only 77 players left. I probably have no chance to revive him."
Jiang Juan looked up, sure enough.
Usually the most conspicuous thing about electronic clocks is the time, but this one at the B&B is emphatically marking the current remaining number of people in the hunting ground in red, and the time is secondary.
"At 17:48, confirmed dead."
Xiao Shi announced the man's death, and the crowd became more and more panicked, screaming and running towards the gate.
Although the cruise ship has already left, they cannot leave this weird island for the time being, but no one wants to be crowded in a homestay where people have died. Who knows what strange things will happen next!
Jiang Juan lifted the dust cover from the sofa and covered the corpse.
For a moment, only they, Zhou Xuan, Kyle, and Qin Shu were left in the huge hall, as well as the NPC female manager with dull eyes and a formulaic smile, as if her mind had been completely controlled by the system.
Zhou Xuan lifted the cover and glanced at the corpse, "Are you sure you were killed by electric shock? That woman was holding a high-voltage stun gun?"
Xiao Shi nodded and said: "Maybe, it's a bit intrusive. I really didn't expect to play so big at the beginning. Is there still time to run now?"
"So why don't you lie down on the hospital bed and feel that you are destined?"
Xiao Shi took it with a smile, with a hint of flattery, "Old Zhou, we will talk about this later."
Jiang Juan saw Qin Shu shrinking behind Zhou Xuan, and asked, "Why is he here?"
"It's a long story, wait for me to find a suitable time..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a few tall men dressed as security guards entered the hall, carried the body away on a stretcher, and it was not known where it was sent.
Xiao Shi tilted his head slightly and leaned towards Jiang Juan, "I didn't see the female manager shaking people just now, these security guards... must be sent by the system?"
Jiang Juan said "Yes", "And their appearance has changed. The '17' people are all murderous, and they are all vicious on the outside, but these people are very ordinary, and there is nothing unusual about them. I think My eyes and brain may have been affected by the magnetic field and radiation here, and I may have also ingested the hallucinogenic ingredients of 'Jackdaw', what I see is not real, but what the system wants to present to me."
Xiao Shi smiled and said: "It seems that the game also has the function of pinching the face. Hey, daughter-in-law, what do you like? How about I pinch an eight-pack abs and make a shockingly handsome face?"
"...It's fine for you to be like this now." Jiang Juan lowered his head and whispered.
Xiao Shi really didn't hear what he said clearly, so he asked a question, and stuck his head over it meanly, insisting on knowing what he just said.
When the two were pushing and shoving, Kyle by the window suddenly cursed: "Fuck! What are those idiots doing!"
Before he finished speaking, the siren rang again.
The author has something to say:
The plot and mechanism of the game here can also be regarded as paving the way for the story of Mr. Shen and Song Lu. If you feel that it is too surreal to control people's hallucinations through hallucinogenic drugs, radiation, and brain waves, you can look at it as a parallel world (in fact, I I feel that this height can be reached with the current level of technology, but it is difficult for us ordinary people to come into contact with such high technology).
In the plot, it was also Qi Wei who stole a certain country's black technology to develop the game system, so the blame is all from a certain country (?
