Chapter 97
Chapter 97
After the sound of the system prompt sounded, the countdown to leaving the instance never appeared.
Not surprised, Si Ning stood up calmly.
The sluggish fog mouse on the table regained its vitality, shook its head and looked around: "嘿嘿嘿吱......"
Where did Ming Shu go? !
Si Ning reached out and touched the top of Wushu's head: "He left."
Mingshu has already been sent out the dungeon, and the system moved very quickly, as if on purpose.
Maybe he was afraid that if Mingshu stayed, something uncontrollable would happen.
"Guji?" Wushu tilted his head, stared at Si Ning for a while, and rubbed his hand lightly.
Si Ning grabbed it and put it on his shoulder: "Let's go, go and have a look outside."
He led the fog mouse out of the front hall and found Si Yin who had been taken away after turning into a monster.
The monster was locked in a narrow iron box, constantly bumping against the wall of the box. Si Ning only glanced at it, and a gray knife condensed out of his right hand, piercing the monster's heart.
Bright red blood seeped from the bottom of the box, the monster twitched a few times, and soon lost its breath.
Just after the monster died completely, its body twisted a few times, and it disappeared like a mass of cleared data, along with the blood on the ground.
Wushu looked at this scene in amazement: "Guji?"
Si Ning didn't stay any longer, and then left the palace, found Si Lian, Si Qi, Si Duan, and Qing Ji in turn, and killed them one by one.
He did it neatly, barely giving them any time or opportunity to resist, and without any emotion, as if he was completing a task.
Only the last Qingji was left. Si Ning looked at this face and said with disgust: "Who can be fooled by a fake of this level?"
The appearances of the five highnesses of the Dragon Clan are somewhat similar to the former Yuan Chen, and Qing Ji is an alien human wizard in the setting of the dungeon story, so his face, on the contrary, is similar to Si Ning's original identity - Sang India, more alike.
There are some subtle differences between the two, perhaps only he himself can distinguish at a glance.
The system purposely squeezed out these five faces, coupled with the impetus of the mission, to make Ming Shu mistakenly believe that they are also a part of Yuan Chen.
But the system is just a cold machine after all, and it can't fully understand Ming Shu's feelings for Yuan Chen.
Qingji couldn't understand what Si Ning was saying, so he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Highness Fifth, I was persecuted, and I have no real intention of harming you..."
Si Ning sighed, "But I can only get out of here if I kill you."
He raised the knife and dropped it. Not long after, Qingji's body also disappeared in place.
Solving the dungeons specially created by these five systems is still the key task of the story. If all of them die at once, the system will definitely crash.
Sure enough, when the last Qingji died, the system notification sounded again.
[Warning: The copy has an unknown failure]
[Warning: The copy has an unknown failure]
[The dungeon is being closed, please be prepared]
[Is about to leave the copy, countdown: ten]
At the same time, Ming Shu was teleported out and returned to his small room.
There was still a dazed and helpless look on his face, and he pinched his palm with his fingers to confirm that he had really come out.
The dungeon ended too quickly, Ming Shu was not prepared at all...
He also thought that the ending of the story might be the same as before. The character he played needs to die at the last step to be able to complete the dungeon. Like a copy, restore the previous memory.
Unexpectedly, the ending this time is completely different. There are only four main tasks, and there is no final hint, so Mingshu is just passed on.
Ming Shu sat on the edge of the bed, bent down and buried her face in her knees.
Is there another copy?What about Si Ning?Or Yuan Chen, will he come out of it?
He was annoyed that he didn't say goodbye to Si Ning in the last time, and the prompts of private chat messages popped up one after another.
Ming Shu could only think of one friend who would contact him. He opened the panel and saw the message from Xia Zhu.
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: You entered the dungeon again? ?Is that copy three?
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: What's going on!are u there?
[Private chat] Mingshu: in
Before he left, he didn't mention to Xia Zhu that there might be a follow-up to the fairy tale dungeon, Xia Zhu would know, probably...he saw it on the world channel.
It's been three times in a row, and Ming Shu has taken it for granted, and doesn't even have the thought of turning on the world channel to take a look.
[Private Chat] Xia Zhu: Look at the announcement! !
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: Now they know how special you are in this dungeon...
Ming Shu frowned lightly, what do you mean?
He turned on the world channel, ignored some exclamation or questioning speeches, and turned to the top announcement.
[Congratulations to player [Ming*] for successfully clearing the third copy of "Fairy Tale Game"!Get tons of points! 】
The content of the announcement is the same as before, but this time there is a small file package attached, which can be viewed by anyone.
Ming Shu opened the file package and found that it was the player record of the third copy, which recorded the task data of all players in detail.
Player [叶**] enters the copy
Player [叶**] main mission one failed
Player [张*] enters the copy
Player [Zhang*] gets favorability with npc [*Ning] -10
Player [Zhang*] failed the main task
Player [Chu**] enters the copy
……
……
Mingshu looked at it in order. All the players in front of them stopped at the main mission [-]. Some of them may be the same as him at the beginning. They wanted to pray to stay first, or did side missions to gain Xining's favorability. The favorability of a few people has become a negative value.
The record is drawn to the end, it belongs to Ming Shu.
Player [明*] enters the copy
Player [Ming*] gets npc [*Ning] favorability degree 10
Player [Ming*] gets npc [*Ning] aura value 10
Player [Ming*] completes side mission [-]
……
Player [Ming*] completes side mission [-]
Player [Ming*] completed side task five
Player [Ming*] completed the main task [-]
……
……
All the records are very smooth, and the npc's data has not dropped until the customs clearance.
Only after this comparison did Ming Shu realize how difficult this dungeon is for other people.
However, he still thought that he was the only one who entered the third copy, and it seems that many people also entered, and they should all be before him, because the failure was too fast, and it didn't take much time for Ming Shu to enter.
Xia Zhu's news kept popping up. He was very curious and wished he could go in and try it himself. Unfortunately, this dungeon could not be found in the database, and some hidden conditions might need to be triggered.
There are still heated discussions on the world channel, saying whether this star's clearance is due to strength or luck. As for strength, he can't find it in the ranking list at all, and he hasn't heard of any particularly powerful newcomers recently.
Speaking of luck...can you be so lucky?There are three copies in a row.
At this moment, a system announcement for everyone popped up.
[Recruit four players in the "Fairy Tale Game" dungeon, click below to register, there are no restrictions, the number of people required: tentative]
The world channel was quiet for a second, and then boiled up.
[Anonymous]: What do you mean?Anyone can sign up?
[Anonymous]: Is it a beta version?Just developed?
[Anonymous]: The conditions are not limited, the number of people is tentative, I rushed to the brothers
[Anonymous]: Everyone calm down, I always feel that something is wrong with this dungeon...
After seeing the content of the announcement clearly, Ming Shu stood up awkwardly and opened the registration channel below the announcement.
However, when he chose to register, the system reminded him that he was already in the registration team.
【You are already in the registration team, please wait patiently】
Like the previous few times, the system pulled him in by itself.
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: I've signed up! !
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: What should I do, I regret it again... This dungeon won't be as bad as last time...
No one can go back and forth after signing up. No one knows how many people the system will need. It is said that there are no restrictions, and they will still be screened after signing up.
Ming Shu sat down again and sent a message to Xia Zhu.
[Private chat] Mingshu: I also signed up, I hope we can enter together
[Private Chat] Xia Zhu: With you here, I feel more at ease! !
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: By the way, you didn't reply that day, I guess you entered the dungeon
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: I went to inquire about Sang Yin later, that is the number one in the standings, do you want to hear it?
Ming Shu blinked, staring at the message from Xia Zhu on the panel, and replied almost instantly: Yes.
Soon, Xia Zhu sent a long text.
He said that he didn't know much about it. It's been a long time since the incident. If Sang Yin's ranking hadn't been firmly in the first place, he might have been forgotten by now.
Some people say that Sang Yin is so powerful because of his talent and strength. Others say that he used to be one of the managers of the infinite world and participated in the design of many games.
Later, in a dungeon mission, the team led by Sang Yin failed to clear the customs. The team finally managed to escape the dungeon, but Sang Yin died inside.
The real cause of his death is unknown. After all, no one has seen him again, and his points have never increased until someone cleared the fairy tale copy one, and Sang Yin's points also increased.
Some people think that Sang Yin is not dead, he is the one who cleared the dungeon, but if he is still alive, how can he only gain so much points?
Later, someone asked the central system to know the reason for the increase in Sangyin's total points. The system replied that it was a bug and it would be fixed after a while.
Even the system is said to be a bug, and it is difficult for others to continue to speculate. Moreover, Sang Yin has disappeared for so long, and his death is already a fact that everyone believes in.
【Private Chat】Ming Shu: I think that's him
[Private Chat] Xia Zhu: Well, in fact, I also... But there is no evidence, we can't talk nonsense, otherwise the system will judge it as a rumor...
Mingshu also knew this. He wanted to tell Xia Zhu what happened in the third dungeon, but he didn't think it was necessary.
Looking at the customs clearance record in the document bag, other people must have thought that Ming Shu was cautious and careful, and that he could pass the customs very smoothly only if he didn't make any mistakes in the dungeon.
But in fact, the reason why he was able to clear the customs was not because of this. During the short time in copy [-], Ming Shu spent more time with Si Ning.
Xia Zhu changed the subject, chatted with him about some things, and made an appointment to see Mingshu tomorrow, and the two of them would talk about the old days.
However, early the next morning, both Ming Shu and Xia Zhu received the information that they had passed the registration.
Afterwards, he entered the dungeon again without giving any buffer time.
[Going to the fourth instance of "Fairy Tale Game", please prepare for it]
["Fairy Tale Game" system is being connected...]
[Access complete, creating a character — 1%]
[Dungeon scene layout has been completed]
[npc is in place]
"Are you a tourist planning to enter the town?"
After the familiar dizziness passed, a voice sounded near Mingshu.
He stepped back subconsciously, and saw clearly that in front of him was an npc wearing plain clothes, with a mechanical smile on his face.
"Are you a tourist planning to enter the town?"
The npc turned sideways and pointed to the distance: "Go this way, your companion is already waiting in front."
Mingshu is currently at an empty intersection, his vision in the distance is covered by a large gray haze, and he can vaguely see the silhouettes of some houses behind the npc.
companion?Ming Shu first opened the system panel and took a look. The dungeon is multi-person and cannot be archived, and there is no plot update for the time being.
Mingshu sent a message to Xia Zhu, asking if he came in.
The npc was still waiting ahead, and urged in time: "Halloween is coming, you'd better find a place to rest before dark."
Mingshu caught the key from his words: "Halloween?"
"Yes," the npc nodded and continued, "This is the tradition of our town, before..."
In the middle of his speech, he suddenly stopped talking and showed a slightly embarrassed smile.
"Forget it, it's all in the past," the npc said "please" again, "please come with me, you will find your companions inside."
Xia Zhu hasn't responded to the message yet, Ming Shu is a little worried, Xia Zhu has also entered the dungeon, it shouldn't be impossible to receive his message.
It is not an option to wait any longer, Ming Shu nodded in response, and followed the npc.
The npc led Mingshu forward, the further he walked in, he felt the surrounding area brighten up, like the smog being dispelled by the sun.
However, when entering the small town, there was no one inside, and the empty streets just like the outside looked very strange.
There were lights on in some houses. When passing by a house, Ming Shu also saw a figure looking at the window on the second floor. Seeing Ming Shu's gaze, he immediately closed the curtains.
Ming Shu felt vigilant, looked around carefully, and kept a certain distance from the npc in front of him.
The npc seemed to notice Mingshu's nervousness, and explained with a smile: "It's getting dark, so the townspeople are all going home, don't mind, you will definitely feel everyone's enthusiasm in the daytime tomorrow..."
Ming Shu also smiled politely, but didn't speak.
He intuited that this dungeon was different from the previous ones, at least there was no such npc leading him before, and it wouldn't have been so long without a plot update.
Not long after, the npc brought Mingshu to a single-storey house.
The npc said to Mingshu: "Are you going to live here tonight?"
Through the window, the inside of the house was pitch black, and there was no trace of other people at all.
Mingshu tentatively asked, "Do I live alone?"
"Yes," the npc nodded, took out a key from his pocket, and handed it to Mingshu, "Don't worry, there are many empty houses in the town."
Ming Shu hesitated to speak, this was not what he was worried about.
He took the key, and the npc looked up at the sky, his expression became serious.
"It's going to be dark soon," he lowered his voice, "Don't go out at night, no matter what noise you hear."
After saying this, the npc turned around and left in a hurry, leaving Mingshu standing alone.
Mingshu squeezed the key in his hand, mustered up the courage to approach the house, and opened the door with the key.
Next to the door is the light switch, Mingshu turns on the light, and the room suddenly lights up.
The furnishings in the living room are clean and tidy, and there is a small bedroom on the side, as well as a bathroom and a kitchen.
The inside of the house looked like someone had cleaned it specially, but there was no trace of living in it.
Ming Shu closed the door and locked it, walked around the house, returned to the living room and sat on the sofa.
There was still an old-fashioned TV set in the living room, Mingshu searched around but couldn't find the remote control, at this time Xia Zhu's message finally came back.
[Private Chat] Xia Zhu: I'm in
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: This place is so weird that I live in a whole house by myself
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: Were you also brought in by the npc?Did he still tell you not to go out at night?
Ming Shu was about to reply him when the system task was released.
[Ding dong—main mission released]
[Task [-]: Halloween is coming, choose the type of ghost you play, and find suitable materials to disguise yourself]
[Ding dong - side mission released]
【Mission [-]: Spend the night safely in the small town before dawn】
