Chapter 10 Jia Xiu is making a "gift" for Hays

"Building a dream..."

In the laboratory, Jia Xiu was studying the amulet he had just stolen from Pastor Carl.

This priest is so honest. If I have business in the future, I will have to look for people from the Vatican to do it.

As for this amulet, the perception +1 attribute alone is already a great deal.

There is also an enchantment, which makes you very profitable.

"It will only work if the target voluntarily accepts to enter the dream."

This is a bit tasteless.

Jia Xiu roughly understood the purpose of the amulet. It was a standard prop for missionaries of the Holy See of Light. The appearance might not be certain. It might be an amulet, or a headband or a cane, but the effect was definitely the same: to bring people into a dream.

It is a fixed process for the missionary work of the Holy See of Light.

Believers need to repent of their sins, and dreams are a more suitable environment for letting go of psychological defenses.

Believers enter dreams voluntarily.

Jia Xiu had no intention of becoming a pastor, nor did he intend to become a judge. He had no intention of becoming a "confidant brother", so where could he find someone willing to enter his dream?

Eh, that's not right.

He suddenly remembered that Margaret's rare ring was still there, and that ring was enchanted with the power to dominate humans.

First dominate, then enter the dream to form a combo.

It would be a shame not to give this set to Hays.

So what kind of dream should we customize for this noble boy?
Jia Xiu tried to start making it.

The operation of constructing a dream is simpler than he imagined. As a caster, he first puts himself into the dream, and then enters a randomly arranged space.

You don’t even have to “write code”. It’s a bit like the terrain editing in the engine plus the blueprint function. There are some fixed logical runes, and then you can piece together the required scripts through these runes.

As long as the image used can be imagined in the mind, it will immediately appear in this space.

It feels like going back to my old business, but in a super convenient version.

When I first worked at the game studio, although my position was main programmer, because it was a small studio, everyone had to have multiple skills.

Programmers not only have to write code, but also have to plan and design systems, create levels, fill in plots, adjust UI, etc. They have to be able to do all of these.

True full-stack development.

Jia Xiu quickly created a scene in the dream space.

If any priest of the Church of Light saw his operation, he would definitely exclaim "Preaching the Eucharist".

The scene produced by Jia Xiu is a hellish scene that fits the world view here very well.

The wind was mixed with sulfur, and the ground was filled with dead souls and demons. The sky was covered with purple-red clouds, the ground was covered with rolling magma, bottomless valleys, hideous spires, and painful wails were everywhere.

It’s a hodgepodge of hellish stereotypes in adventure stories.

The script that Jia Xiu arranged for Hans was to fully experience all the cruel punishments in hell.

After running the script roughly once, Jia Xiu shook his head.

"Tsk——"

He was not very satisfied. Although it was already terrifying, it still lacked a certain feeling.

It should scare Hays, but his goal is not only to scare Hays, but also to scare him crazy, or even to make him mentally ill.

Jia Xiu touched up the hell scene he had set up. It didn't take much effort to make it anyway.

For the new scene, he changed his thinking and built a huge insane asylum with flickering lighting, winding and narrow routes, and it was full of mentally ill patients who were crazy, bloodthirsty and cruel.

Moreover, in this scenario, Hays would not have any means of fighting back and could only escape helplessly.

Jia Xiu read it over and over again.

"Yes, it has the flavor of 'Escape'."

After finishing this scene, Jia Xiu felt that his hands were hot and his creative desire was overflowing.

The horror achieved by this kind of jump scares and dark scenes doesn't seem to be the highest level of horror.

The effect Jia Xiu wanted to achieve most was to create a feeling of despair as if falling into an ice cellar by unfolding events in broad daylight without any sudden changes.

How can we achieve that effect?

Jia Xiu thought about it.

Just like a horror story that happens in real life...

Got it!

Jia Xiu had a burst of inspiration.

Soon, a dream involving "family", "relatives", "irresistance", "ethics", "torture" and "complete despair" was successfully produced.

Jia Xiu tried it himself. As a seasoned horror "connoisseur" who had played numerous horror games and watched various horror movies, he couldn't stand it after only a few minutes.

I just felt a chill down my spine, my whole body was shaking, and I had to quit.

too frightening.

Anyone who comes here will go crazy.

Jia Xiu put away the amulet that stored the new dream, and prepared to find a suitable time to let Hannas experience it.

After doing all this, Jia Xiu felt a little tired.

"Hey, let's do two sets of real exam questions to relax..."

……

a few days later.

The stronghold of the cult of the God of Deception and Curse.

Jia Xiu spent a huge amount of money, 50 kronor, to decorate the cave.

I probably bought some fake magic props from a street stall to use as props for escaping and solving puzzles.

There are also several rune stones that are used to spray smoke, flash light, and make creepy sound effects.

The "magic tools" that Billy had used wrongly when he was trying to perform the ritual in the past, including dried hearts, corrupted crystals, human-faced vines and other miscellaneous items, all looked evil. Now they were taken out for recycling and placed in the cave to create an atmosphere.

After all these were set up, the originally dilapidated cave finally had a lot of cult atmosphere.

But in Jia Xiu's opinion, it was far worse than the dream he prepared for Hans.

After all, this is a tourist project, not meant to scare tourists to death.

In addition to the atmosphere of the scene, every cultist in the sect also took action, wearing cult robes and pointed hats sewn by Aunt Susan with scraps, and acting as NPCs in the cave, responsible for interacting with tourists to promote the plot, or simply scaring people and chasing tourists all over the place.

After all the cultists were dressed, they were inspected by Jia Xiu.

"Hmm... not quite. I feel like I'm missing something. A character that's particularly iconic, very special, and who gives off the aura of an evil organization at first glance."

Jia Xiu looked at each cultist carefully; they were all too ordinary.

His temperament is very much like that of a street character.

There is no way around it. They are just street cultists, and their evilness is not outstanding among the cultists.

Where can I find a suitable cult C position?

It’s best to have a vulgar and gloomy temperament from the inside out. Just dress up casually and make people feel uncomfortable just by standing there.

Based on these conditions, a figure gradually emerged in Jia Xiu's mind.

……

A few minutes later, in the Spellcaster Association, in a laboratory used by only one person.

This laboratory is only used by one person, not because this person, like Jia Xiu, has his supervisor pay to rent the entire laboratory, but because no one wants to stay in the laboratory he is in.

"Jack, I have a great job for you."

"Oh, Jia Xiu, you are so kind. They don't want to talk to me."

Jack said aggrievedly.

Nonsense, it's a wonder they're willing to talk to you.

Jia Xiu was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Jack's eyes always seemed to be stealing glances at something, his eyeballs rolling around, never looking directly at anyone, his gaze always sliding to places he shouldn't be looking at. His eyes seemed to have a sense of touch, and being looked at by him felt like being touched.

There was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, and no one knew what he was laughing at. His hair was greasy and hung on his scalp, and his wizard robe was dirty and stained with suspicious stains.

Coupled with his behavior that is completely consistent with his image, it can be said that he is "famous".

"This job is to play the role of a cult leader in a new tourism project. I can offer you a daily wage of 10 herre."

This daily wage is considered high-income in Ximu Town.

"Great, I'm willing to take the job. Actually," Jack said, licking his lips, "I also accept other payment methods."

"No, just pay with money."

Jia Xiu immediately interrupted Jack's bad thoughts.

He just wanted to finish the talk and leave quickly. There was clearly no strange smell in this laboratory, but he always seemed to be able to smell something strange.

It can only be attributed to Jack's strong temperament.

"Okay," Jack agreed, though with a hint of disappointment. "But there's one more thing. I'm just an ordinary wizard. How am I supposed to play the role of a cult leader?"

"Uh... restrain yourself a little, restrain yourself a little, it's like it's great."
