The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 397 You really came after me?! (Monthly ticket requested)
On the first day of the offline event, the DLC trial started at noon and ended at 6 pm.

The players thought that Xu Meng still had some conscience and took everyone's psychological endurance into consideration.

So when the system prompted that the trial time was over and that everyone could log out of the game, everyone didn't think much about it and quit the game one after another.

Without noticing——

It was actually 5pm at this time.

There is still a full hour until the event ends at 6pm.

Nanaka took off her helmet and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Finally freed!!!”

"What? It's not fun?" Beside her, Huanyue also took off his helmet and tore off the sleep-aid patch on the back of his neck.

"This is not a question of whether it's fun or not! Horror games, if I play them too much, I'll shorten my life!" Qihuahua was still frightened.

"Lingzhou Studio is so inhumane!"

This sentence was immediately agreed by a large number of people around:

"That's right! The whole castle is full of spiders! I'm almost developing arachnophobia!"

"It's so realistic! The details of the spider, the feeling of it crawling on my body..."

"Fuck, stop talking! I'm itching again!"

"It's more than just the sense of touch! This is the first time I've played a game with smells! Even though the monsters stink, the harmony smells super good!"

This buddy's words immediately sparked a wider discussion:

"That's right, Zhumeng, can you spare a day so that I can spend the day with Tongque? I want to have a bridal chamber!"

"That's right! Why can the dream machine only create nightmares and not erotic dreams?"

"Too strong, really too strong! I want to just run away with the Dream Machine."

“This 10 yuan was really well spent!”

"Hello, rich man!"

……

People nearby even ran over to ask Xu Meng:

"Boss Xu, what are we going to play tomorrow?"

"Boss Xu, when will the Dream Machine go on sale?"

"Boss Xu, when will the Dream Machine be open for mod creation?"

……

Everyone crowded around Xu Meng, and their words were filled with longing for the future.

Xu Meng did not keep the secret this time and gave the answer on the spot: "Tomorrow morning, we will play Project Frost and Snow, in the afternoon, Lord of War, the day after tomorrow morning, Monster Hunter, and the afternoon is free."

"Ah?" The player who got the answer was stunned.

"Is [Evil Spirit's Coffin] no longer playing?"

"I don't want to play anymore." Xu Meng shook his head.

Several people nearby were stunned: "I have found the key clues, and I was planning to dig out all the clues and fight the Countess in the blood pool, and now I'm not allowed to play??"

"You, I am...not good, right?"

“So, if you want to play the later plot, you have to wait for the DLC to be released??”

"That's right." Xu Meng nodded unscrupulously.

Lingzhou Studio also needs to survive and make a profit.

We can’t spoil the plot before [Coffin] is released.

During the players' trial play this afternoon, only 24 people started live streaming, and less than 5 people were concentrating on pushing the plot. The clues obtained were scattered, and they could only piece together a rough outline.

It just arouses the curiosity of players without giving away too many spoilers.

"Okay, that's all for today! You can go back to the hotel and have dinner."

"Or you can go for a walk around. See you tomorrow!"

After Xu Meng finished speaking, he planned to chase the person away.

Qihuahua suddenly ran out and asked, "Where is Xiaomeng? I haven't said goodbye to Xiaomeng yet!"

When the surrounding players heard this, they also started to make a fuss and wanted to see Xiao Meng before leaving.

"Xiao Meng is studying. See you later." Xu Meng shook her head. "I won't keep you waiting for long."

"Study?" This reason made Qihuahua want to complain.

What else does Xiao Meng need to learn?
But Xu Meng, the "parent", refused, and everyone had to leave the experience center reluctantly.

Longcheng Feijiang looked at the crowd and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

It wasn't until I followed the crowd out of the door that I realized:
What about the Dream Building staff?

How come Xu Meng is the only one left in the entire experience hall?

Not only did Xiao Meng and the staff disappear, but Zhu Hongyi, the bodyguard who had always been with Xu Meng, also disappeared.

After realizing this, he stopped immediately.

Turn around and go back to Xu Meng.

"?"

Xu Meng sent a question mark with her eyes.

"Boss Xu, where is your bodyguard?" General Long Chengfei went straight to the point.

Xu Meng blinked, "He has something urgent to do."

"Then I'll follow you?" General Long Chengfei immediately volunteered.

Xu Meng was stunned for a moment before he realized: General Long Chengfei was worried about his personal safety.

He was silent for two seconds and shook his head: "Don't worry, the security team is still there, but they are not in the open."

But Longcheng Feijiang was not at ease, but a little anxious: "How can that be?!"

"Boss Xu! Think about what you did a week ago. I don't know how many people overseas hate you to death now. Maybe there are a lot of spies and assassins lurking around you."

"What if someone attacks you at close range? How can the security in the dark react?!"

After Longcheng Feijiang finished speaking, he stood beside Xu Meng without moving.

He refused to leave no matter what.

After all, it was a good intention, so Xu Meng sighed and nodded in agreement.

...The players walked out of the experience hall and headed towards the hotel, chatting in groups of two or three about their various discoveries in [Coffin of the Evil Spirit] and trying to piece together the plot.

The Brave Sniper and Qihuahua looked at their phones in surprise.

The fan group was unexpectedly quiet.

Logically speaking, after the first public offline experience of Dream Machine has ended, the fan base should be super lively.

The heat on the entire social network should be extremely explosive!

but now……

So quiet.

They were wondering if there were too many people affecting the signal.

Suddenly I heard Huanyue complain:

"At the end of the story, I guess I'll have to choose between the Spider Mother or the Witch, and then kill the other one."

"Otherwise, the soul mark cannot be washed off and I will definitely not be able to pass the level."

"Soul mark? What is that?" The brave sniper was curious.

"There are two marks on the arm. It is said that if you have these marks, no matter where you go, the Spider Mother and the Blood Witch will find you."

Huanyue rolled up her sleeves as she spoke, wanting to show Heroic Sniper the location of the mark in the game.

"I burst out laughing right there! Are you kidding me? I'm offline, and you can still find me in real life..."

The laughter suddenly stopped.

The Brave Sniper and Qihuahua also stopped at the same time.

Three pairs of eyes stared at the two marks on Huanyue's forearm.

A bloody spider and a bloody rune.

Qihuahua felt as if she was struck by an electric current, and her whole body trembled: "When did you... when did you get a tattoo?"

Huanyue's lips trembled slightly: "I... didn't?"

The heroic sniper immediately took a step back, away from Huanyue.

And warned: "Tattoo stickers? I just played a few hours of horror games and was scared."

"If you play a prank at this time, don't blame me for it with the soles of my shoes!"

Huanyue's eyelids twitched wildly and her blood beat faster.

"Tattoo stickers? Am I sick?"

"Besides, I just found out about this mark this afternoon. Where can I find a ready-made tattoo sticker?"

After just a few words, Huanyue felt her mouth dry and began to purse her lips unconsciously.

Fine beads of cold sweat quickly seeped out of his forehead.

The brave sniper was frightened.

He took three steps back, feeling extremely confused.

He looked around in panic, his eyes quickly scanning the shadows of the building corners, the nearest windows, and the passers-by on the street...

——This is the aftereffect of playing [Coffin of Evil Spirit].

I always feel like spiders might come out from every corner.

Qi Huahua turned around and ran, subconsciously looking for Xu Meng.

——Although Xu Meng is usually unreliable, when something big happens, Qihuahua will subconsciously go to him.

Their abnormal actions immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding players.

"what happened?"

"Yeah, what happened?"

Everyone came over to show concern.

The dual identities of "anchor" and "honorary player" make everyone happy to help them.

Huanyue looked at the group of people gathered around him, and after a slight hesitation, he raised his arm to show them the spider and rune marks on his forearm.

The noisy crowd immediately quieted down.

Then they all retreated madly at the same time!

"Fuck! The mark of Spider Mother Anansi!"

"Blood witch?"

"How can things in the game follow us into reality?"

"Yesterday I was reading a novel about a game world that came true! I was looking forward to it coming true, but I hope it's not a horror game!"

"Could it be that the dream machine is not dreaming, but traveling to another world?"

"Ah? Is Boss Xu so unbelievable?"

"Stop reading those fucking novels! Call the police!"

"Yes, yes, yes, call the police, call the police!"

"And Boss Xu! Tell him about this!"

……

No one talked about helping anymore, and everyone retreated frantically away from Huanyue.

At the same time, he took out his cell phone and called the police.

A few people were moving away while hurriedly pulling up their sleeves.

Then, to his horror, he saw a bloody mark on his arm that was exactly the same as Huanyue's!
They looked at each other, but before they could say anything, a large shadow covered everyone.

Even the buildings on both sides were covered by this shadow.

The mark began to heat up, even to the point of being hot!

Huanyue didn't care about her burning arms and raised her head like everyone else.

A huge spider-like shadow that was hundreds of meters tall and stood out among the city buildings instantly filled the entire field of vision!
The huge creature slowly raised its foot.

The next second, I will step into the crowd!

Huanyue's pupils shook violently!

"You bastard, you really came across the world to chase me here!?"
