Weirdness is coming: Chen Mu Nugui started with trillions of ghost coins

Not long after, Chen Mu and his group of "clown players" arrived outside the Central Hospital building.

From the outside, the Central Hospital appears to be a large hospital with twenty floors.

The hospital's logo and bright red SOS signs are painted on its exterior walls.

It's clear that many people sought refuge in the hospital when the zombie apocalypse struck. The entire city's medical supplies were concentrated there, leading many to believe it was a suitable shelter.

However, the supplies in the hospital couldn't cure the zombie virus.

Without armed protection, the hospital quickly became a living hell.

Broken windows, walls smeared with blood, medicines scattered on the floor, blood-stained gauze...

The scenes before the players' eyes tell them of the tragic state of the Central Hospital in the past.

When Chen Mu saw the hospital entrance from afar, he gently raised his hand. Xiao Ye understood and controlled the zombie army to slowly stop.

Such a massive army of zombies couldn't possibly stop immediately. Chen Mu started telling Xiao Ye to brake from a kilometer away.

The zombie army only managed to stop after a full kilometer.

After the number of zombies exceeded ten thousand, the crowds were immense, creating an oppressive atmosphere of "dark clouds pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it."

Several zombies lingered at the entrance of the hospital, looking menacing.

Chen Mu could guess that, according to the normal script, the player would face a choice after escorting the recipient to this point.

The letter only requested that the recipient be taken to the central hospital. Whether the recipient lived or died after entering the hospital was no longer the player's concern.

Players have two choices: either force the recipient to go through the front door, or, even if the result is being torn to pieces by zombies, the player's mission is still complete.

Alternatively, they could find another way, another entrance, and bring the recipient into the hospital alive.

The choice between these two options reflects the player's value judgment.

However, Chen Mu could see the hidden trap within.

If the player chooses the former option and only delivers the recipient to the hospital without curing the recipient's daughter's illness, then theoretically, there is a possibility that the player will be judged as having failed.

"This bizarre boss actually has a pretty positive value orientation. In the final step of delivering the message, it will test the player's humanity."

Chen Mu remarked with a sigh, "This BOSS is indeed a bit different."

For Chen Mu, this was not a moral dilemma.

Inside the hospital gate, the few seemingly fierce zombies were terrified when they noticed Chen Mu's zombie army.

Before Chen Mu could make a decision, the zombies immediately turned and ran, hurriedly hiding deep inside the hospital.

The road into the hospital was clear and unobstructed!

Chen Mu waved his hand, and the zombies carried the sedan chair, taking them all into the hospital gate.

Because Chen Mu provided the pills on the way, the recipient's daughter had actually recovered by then.

Chen Mu perfectly fulfilled all the male recipient's requests in the letter.

No matter how cunning the trap or how obscure the rules, they are useless against Chen Mu's absolute strength.

The moment they entered the hospital, lines of blood-red words appeared before Chen Mu and his companions:

Congratulations! Your letter has been successfully delivered!

As an intern postman, you have passed the postman's assessment. Death Postman Mission, Complete!

It's time to return to the post office; the newspaper's doors are open for you.

Chen Mu was slightly taken aback when he saw those lines of blood-written words.

He initially thought it was a strange scene with blood-red characters indicating the way to pass the level.

Generally speaking, a bizarre scene corresponds to a bizarre mission.

When this bizarre mission is completed, the bizarre scenario will also be cleared.

The BOSS in the bizarre scene will also appear at this time, either obediently or forced to be obedient, waiting for Boss Chen to acquire him.

However, the bizarre scene at the newspaper office is rather unusual.

The bizarre mission is called "Death Postman," which has connections to the newspaper, but not very strong direct connections.

After completing the "Death Postman" quest, there was no notification that the game was over, and the mysterious boss behind the scenes did not appear.

The few lines of blood-red text that popped up actually hinted to Chen Mu that he had just completed half of the mission, which could be considered a preliminary task.

Only after completing the prerequisite quest "The Death Postman" will the newspaper office doors open to Chen Mu.

Chen Mucai finally had the chance to confront the bizarre scene at the newspaper office!

"This strange BOSS is quite difficult to deal with," Chen Mu said slowly.

Chen Mu was very experienced in situations like this; he had actually encountered similar situations before.

That was a special kind of strange gate that Chen Mu encountered in the strange gate—the double strange gate!

It consisted of two bizarre tasks, one after the other. Only after completing the first one could one proceed to the second.

Chen Mu recalled that the double-layered ghost gate was quite tricky and had taken up a lot of his energy.

Unexpectedly, even outside the Ghost Gate, I encountered a similar double eerie scene.

As expected of the tenth of the top ten scenarios, it's indeed quite challenging. Putting aside everything else, it's composed of two bizarre tasks, making it twice as complex as other bizarre scenarios!

Chen Mu suspected that the newspaper's eerie boss might have seen similar double-layered tricks because he was very knowledgeable.

This gave the BOSS an idea, prompting it to set double the difficulty for its own bizarre scenarios.

Chen Mu felt an even stronger urge to meet this BOSS.

There's probably a lot of hidden stories behind this boss. You couldn't be this cunning without experiencing a lot of weird stuff; Chen Mu knows this all too well.

The "Death Postman" story is now complete.

Chen Mu and his two companions turned around and looked at the father and daughter who were the recipients of the package.

Hong Wenli reached out and waved to the father and daughter, "Hey! Protect your daughter and be careful."

When Hong Wenli said these words, Chen Mu could tell that they came from the bottom of his heart.

The woman's appearance was exactly the same as his, along with her daughter and similar experiences, which made Hong Wenli feel deeply empathetic.

The man who received the package also bowed deeply to Chen Mu and the others.

In particular, the man who received the package bowed to Chen Mu separately.

It was clear that the man receiving the package was well aware of how much Chen Mu had helped him.

Chen Mu and Xiao Ye also waved to the father and daughter who were the recipients.

After saying goodbye to each other, the recipient took his daughter and hid inside the central hospital building.

At the entrance of the Central Hospital, only Chen Mu and his two companions remained, along with tens of thousands of zombies that Chen Mu had subdued.

“Alright, we have to go back now. That post office in the forest is really strange,” Hong Wenli said. “When Xuezi said we could enter the newspaper office, did he mean we could enter that post office?”

Chen Mu did not answer Hong Wenli's question.

Chen Mu, on the other hand, stretched out his hand and waved to Hong Wenli.

Chen Mu's strange behavior left Hong Wenli completely baffled.

"Boss Chen, what do you mean by this? Why are you waving at me?" Hong Wenli asked, puzzled.

"This is a farewell to you," Chen Mu said.

“Farewell? Is the bizarre mission complete?” Hong Wenli scratched his head. “Didn’t Blood Letter say that we were to go to the newspaper office? It didn’t say that the bizarre mission was complete.”

“For the two of us, it’s not finished. But for you, it’s already finished,” Chen Mu said.

Chen Mu's words and strange behavior left Hong Wenli completely baffled.

Not only Hong Wenli, but even Xiao Ye, who is usually quick-witted, couldn't keep up with Chen Mu's thinking this time.

But Xiaoye was very sensible and didn't ask Chen Mu at that moment.

As a loyal executor, try not to undermine your boss; that will make your subordinates look foolish. Just do what your boss says.

So, Xiaoye waved goodbye to Hong Wenli.

Hongwenli:? ? ?

This time, Hong Wenli was truly dumbfounded.

He felt that this pair of players was really weird!

First, Boss Chen waved to him, and then Boss Chen's henchman also waved to him.

Could it be that something has changed about me, like in the movies, that I'm slowly disappearing?

Hong Wenli quickly lowered his head and carefully examined his body.

Everything is normal!

This left Hong Wenli completely dumbfounded.

He was at a loss for what to do. Looking at the two people smiling and waving at him, Hong Wenli was momentarily embarrassed.

To avoid looking foolish, he could only go along with it, smiling and waving at Chen Mu and the other man.

At this moment, a familiar white light appeared in front of Chen Mu and Xiao Ye.

As the white light slowly dissipated, Xiaoye saw the familiar forest post office, the dilapidated mailbox, and a flock of crows taking flight in front of her.

Xiao Ye turned his head and saw Chen Mu standing next to him.

Seeing this, Xiaoye couldn't help but lower her voice and ask softly:

"Boss, why did you suddenly wave at Hong Wenli just now? That was so strange."

Chen Mu had already anticipated that Xiao Ye would secretly ask him.

Chen Mu did not answer immediately, but said, "Look around, can you still see Hong Wenli?"

Xiaoye looked around after hearing this.

Just as Chen Mu had said, the surroundings were empty, and there was no sign of Hong Wenli at all.

Xiao Ye couldn't help but wonder, "Boss, what's going on? Where's Hong Wenli? Why didn't he come back with us?"

Clearly, Chen Mu had anticipated this situation.

Otherwise, when waving goodbye just now, Chen Mu wouldn't have said that he and Xiao Ye hadn't finished yet, but Hong Wenli had.

What Chen Mu said next greatly surprised Xiao Ye.

Chen Mu slowly said, "Hong Wenli is not a player at all. He is actually an NPC mixed in with the players."

Xiao Ye's eyes widened. "Boss, how did you figure that out? Hong Wenli isn't a player, he's an NPC?"

“Well, not only Hong Wenli, but Lin Shanshan isn’t a player either,” Chen Mu said. “In this bizarre mission, the only real players are the two of us.”

Hong Wenli, as an NPC, has completed his mission, so he will not appear again.

Xiao Ye said, "Boss, you're really something. Hong Wenli's acting was so convincing, and Lin Shanshan's was flawless too."

I was with the two of them, and I didn't notice a single flaw.

Chen Mu said, "They acted too convincingly? No, with their acting skills, if they were faking it, I would have noticed long ago."

In fact, I reasonably speculate that neither of them knew that they were actually just NPCs.

In their minds, they were just like us, players who came to participate in the bizarre mission.

The best disguise is one that fools even oneself. The hardest thing for others to detect is when someone believes they are a player.

Xiao Ye seemed to be deep in thought. "Boss, do you mean that the strange BOSS deliberately mixed in two NPCs and entered the player's party?"

But they don't let the NPCs know that they are NPCs. At the same time, they are not allowed to cause trouble—since they don't even know their identities, they certainly can't cause trouble.

Why would that eerie boss go to such lengths? Surely it's not because it's worried we'll be lonely, but out of kindness sent two people to make a four-person team.

Xiaoye spoke with a slightly teasing tone about her inner confusion.

Chen Mu had already figured out Xiao Ye's confusion.

Chen Mu shook his head and said, "You're mistaken. These two NPCs disguised as players aren't here to cause trouble; on the contrary, they're here to help us and provide us with clues."

"What? The weird BOSS would be so kind?" Xiaoye was a little surprised.

Chen Mu said, "Of course, don't think too highly of the strange BOSS."

He sent these two NPCs to act as players purely to fulfill the requirements of the bizarre mission.

That is, there must be a way out, and every player must have the opportunity to find a way out.

Therefore, Lin Shanshan's death is actually a clue in itself. Because she was an NPC, her death did not violate the rules.

The purpose of doing this is specifically to mislead experienced advanced players like myself.

Experts know the unspoken rules. Based on these rules, it's safe to assume that before Lin Shanshan died, there were definitely enough rules in place to help her avoid death.

Logically, players' thinking will be misled, focusing their main experiences on the period before Lin Shanshan's death, thus ignoring Lin Shanshan's demise.

In this way, the eerie BOSS both abides by the rules and provides players with enough clues.

At the same time, Lin Shanshan's death diverts the player's attention, causing the player to be too clever for their own good and overlook the real clue of Lin Shanshan's death.

It's fair to say that this bizarre boss had quite a few ideas when designing the bizarre missions.

They even thought of designing death itself as a crucial clue, allowing players to unintentionally overlook it based on their existing experience.

It has to be said, this is a problem tailor-made for advanced players!

Chen Mu was also somewhat emotional when he spoke of this.

At first, he was indeed misled by this trap and took many detours.

To make Lin Shanshan and Hong Wenli's appearance seem plausible, the eerie BOSS fabricated an excuse and implanted it into their minds.

This provides a reasonable explanation for why they appeared in the bizarre scene in space.

However, Chen Mu has a deep foundation and is ultimately not the kind of half-baked expert.

Even the most well-designed bizarre boss will have minor flaws in the details.

Chen Mu discovered these small details through his keen perception.
