Horror Bug Game Terminal

Zhou Xiaomo was frightened by what he said. A drop of cold sweat instantly appeared on her forehead. She raised her head suddenly and stammered, "What...what do you mean? Mr. Qi, you mean that we have actually--"

He hadn't finished his words, but the meaning was clear.

Qi Wuling lowered his head and played with the bracelet, making it impossible to see the expression on his face. He continued in a neutral voice, "It's just a guess."

"guess?"

Zhou Xiaomo lowered her head and carefully examined her hands and feet inside and out. She did not find any abnormalities or strange places. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked uncertainly, "It shouldn't be that serious, right?"

Qi Wuling glanced at his exposed arm and said, "No need to look. Everything we see is just an illusion that the game wants us to see."

Zhou Xiaomo thought about it and found a suitable word: "The so-called sleight of hand? But, since we went downstairs, we have been seeing this scene. Even if what we see is really an illusion, there must be a way or medium, right?"

Qi Wuling nodded: "So from the moment we went downstairs, what we saw was already an illusion."

For a moment, Zhou Xiaomo almost doubted whether Qi Wuling was the boss behind the scenes. If she hadn't said it, the truth spoken by him in such a cold tone would really make people wonder if it would be game over for them in the next second.

But Qi Wuling didn't care about her thoughts and continued speaking.

"So the problem isn't the snack, it's the aroma."

His eyes darkened, and he continued, "If they want us to see something that is not real, then the best medium should be the strong fragrance that I smelled before going downstairs."

? ! ! !

Zhou Xiaomo was shocked, no way!

"So this scent wasn't just to lure us downstairs from the beginning???"

Qi Wuling ignored Zhou Xiaomo's shock and curled his lips in a happy mood: "So, the snack stand didn't move out of thin air, but was an illusion."

Wait! No! Zhou Xiaomo finally realized what was going on.

"If your theory is true, Mr. Qi, then aren't we really going to become monsters now?! How can we play then?"

Qi Wuling smiled: "Aren't you curious about what kind of monster you are?"

"Please! I don't think anyone would be curious about this question at this moment?!" Zhou Xiaomo wanted to cry but had no tears at all for Qi Wuling who was still joking at this moment.

Qi Wuling said "oh", it seemed that he was the only one who was curious.

[System: Congratulations to virtual player Qi Wuling for completing 2/4 of the game progress in "Night Market Snack Street" (Snack Fantasy).]

Qi Wuling saw this system panel, it seems his reasoning is correct~

Zhou Xiaomo: …

Have you ever shed tears of despair for something? She did, woo woo woo.

Back to the topic, Qi Wuling glanced at the food stall that was only a hundred meters away from them and said, "At this rate, we will be here forever in less than half an hour."

Zhou Xiaomo was already mentally exhausted, so he waved his hand and said, "Mr. Qi, tell me what you want to do."

Qi Wuling: "Now we have two paths to choose from."

"First, find the connection between the stall owners and the movement of the stalls. However, it seems that time does not allow it. Dealing with the constant flow of residents will consume energy and time, and the speed at which the closed snack stalls are shrinking towards us is accelerating."

"So... let's take the second route."

Zhou Xiaomo didn't understand: "What other options are there in this situation?"

Qi Wuling touched his chin, smiled slightly, and said shockingly: "Of course, I chose to be caught by the residents."

Zhou Xiaomo slipped.

"A chicken is visiting a weasel to wish a happy new year???" Zhou Xiaomo laughed angrily: "It's almost turned into a monster, and it's actively offering itself to be monster meat."

Qi Wuling said, "We can't find a way to leave here in a short time, nor can we find the tourist girl at the residents' homes. However, the residents can, and they may take us to where the food is stored."

"What if we are killed by them along the way?" Zhou Xiaomo said worriedly.

"Do you have any choice?" Qi Wuling asked back.

Zhou Xiaomo was silent.

Seeing the residents pouring in from all around and extending their "Erkang Hand" towards them, Zhou Xiaomo felt sick at the thought of being caught by them again.

He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, stretched out his arms, and encouraged himself: "Yeah, come on!"

Qi Wuling sat down on the ground leisurely, not caring at all that he would be caught next.

The next second, Zhou Xiaomo was touched by the resident's cold hand. She got goose bumps all over her body and fainted before she could even scream. The only thought in her mind before she fainted was: It's over, I'm going to be killed.

Qi Wuling looked at the resident who attacked them and nodded thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something. Then he was caught by the resident and closed his eyes completely.

----

I don’t know how long it took, the noises around me were sometimes loud and sometimes quiet.

Qi Wuling opened his eyes in the darkness, and the first thing that caught his eye was his bloody and charred hands. Tsk, it didn't look good.

Qi Wuling also looked at his hands from left to right. They were not burnt but corroded. It seemed that his body should be similar.

He withdrew his gaze and looked around. A ray of sunlight shone through the small window behind him that was blocked by him. It was already dawn. Qi Wuling could see his surroundings clearly with the help of the light. He estimated that there were ten to twenty charred "corpses". They should be the tourists here. However, he could not tell which one was Zhou Xiaomo.

He thought of the resident who attacked Zhou Xiaomo before he fainted last night. This should be that resident's home.

Qi Wuling was in a good mood, as his goal was achieved.

The timeline goes back to yesterday.

The residents move stiffly and slowly, and most of them are deformed monsters, so it is difficult to catch the players.

But putting it in their game, it doesn't feel right.

If a horror game that claims to be about death wants to catch people, its strength must not be too weak, unless there are other settings that can trigger the death attack. But they haven't found any yet, so it is temporarily determined that there are none. So based on the previous judgment, maybe... the residents are just a cover, they are covering up.

So Qi Wuling decided to give it a try, and it worked.

Some residents took action.

As soon as the players relax, the residents hidden among them will take action.

However, there is still one point, which is why residents need to buy snacks.

But now, there was a lot of noise and bustle outside the wall, and it was so lively that he couldn't think for the time being. Just when Qi Wuling was about to wake up the tourists next to him, someone came up.

He closed his eyes again silently.

Nourishes—

The door was pushed open.

A burly man came in, followed by a woman in an apron. Although she was wearing an apron, she looked well-maintained. There were no marks on her hands from frequent work. She must have been used to a life of luxury. She was probably the boss's wife.

The woman carefully counted the number of tourists and complained to the man next to her: "It's getting harder and harder to catch tourists here recently."

"When they delivered it to me last night, they said that there was a man and a woman who were hard to catch, which wasted their sleep time. They even threatened me to give them a lower price when this batch of goods came out. What a bunch of ignorant people. They can only maintain their normal appearance during the day by eating the food we make every day. Now they dare to bargain with me. Bah."

"They deserved the curse that befell them. It's so funny. They really think they are good people. What the hell is he, a bat with chicken feathers?"

The man next to him also said, "Yes, yes, if it really doesn't work, we can just borrow--" The man signaled with his eyes and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

The smile in the woman's eyes became more obvious after seeing this: "Anyway, they deserve it. They have sown the evil seeds themselves, and they should taste the consequences themselves."

After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs, not forgetting to remind him: "Dayu, don't forget to lock the door when you come down. Calculate the time. They will wake up soon. Remember to feed them the sleeping pills again. This will also be a good deed for me, so that they can go on their journey more easily."

The man named Dayu agreed repeatedly.

He then took out a large bag of drugs from his trouser pocket, mixed it with water, and force-fed it to each tourist.

Then he locked the door and went downstairs.

Qi Wuling slowly opened his eyes, and his green pupils looked particularly eerie in this dark room.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, haha, he seemed to have heard news that he shouldn't know.

The residents become normal people during the day and have to rely on snacks to survive, no, it should be said that they rely on monster meat to survive.

Curse? What interesting things happened to make such a curse come? He was a little curious.
