Even if a fisherman enters an infinite game, he still has to cast a rod

The bald director made repeated phone calls, anxiously asking about the situation outside.

He was overwhelmed when he learned that nearly a thousand executives had arrived on campus.

When the director learned that they had arrived at the playground but could no longer enter the strange cave, he collapsed all over and sat down on the ground.

It’s over.

How could a group of ordinary people like them, who were powerless, possibly fight against the annihilation that occurs once in a decade?

Executives may be able to obtain game information from them and pave the way for future generations.

But they were dead.

They will be the first victims of this game.

The news spread quickly and soon exploded among the crowd.

"The executive officer can't get in, so we can't get out. This time we really can't get out!!!"

"Teacher Liu, what should I do? Teacher Liu, wuwuwu!!!"

"Then...then...then I don't have to do my homework?!"

"Dad, Dad... Save me, I don't want to die yet...!!!"

The person on the other end of the phone was also in a state of panic.

"Son, my son, sir, can you find a way to get in? I can't just watch him die, he's only fifteen years old...!!!"

"Sir, don't worry, can you please leave here first? This playground is within the scope of the strange cave, and there may be danger at any time..."

"My grandson!! Grandson...grandson...!"

“Old man!!!”

"Mother-in-law!!!"

For a moment, panic, helplessness, despair, all the sad and negative emotions swept into everyone's heart like a flood. The cries were deafening and heart-wrenching, spreading wildly like a highly contagious disease, making people dizzy. The players were already scared and thrown into disarray before the game even started.

Sudden.

"----Boom-----"

In the distance, a wooden hammer struck an empty tree, emitting a pure and ethereal sound of holy Sanskrit, interrupting the crying of the crowd.

The ripple-like echo, like the first sound of the origin of the universe, bloomed like flower buds in people's minds, quickly soothing the fear.

"----Boom-----"

As the eerie white mist slowly dissipated, a wonderful lotus fragrance that I had never smelled before softly permeated my nostrils and overflowed into my limbs and bones with my breath.

The teachers and students' originally fluctuating emotions disappeared along with the fragrance of flowers and the sound of wooden fish.

"----Boom-----"

They couldn't even remember why they were crying before, they just felt peaceful and tranquil, and everything was so beautiful.

Even the voices on the other end of the phone gradually calmed down.

It feels amazing.

It was as if the fear was forcibly pulled out of the body, and the limbs felt numb and comfortable, as if floating in the clouds or drifting on the sea. Everyone was immersed in this mysterious and wonderful state.

Except Jiang Yuan.

The black-haired young man frowned slightly, and understood what was going on. He felt repulsed, disgusted and wary of the sound of the wooden fish that manipulated people's hearts.

He pinched his index finger with his fingernails, using the pain to block the sound of the wooden fish out of his mind.

He turned around to remind his companions, but found that they were all standing still, with a trance-like expression on their faces.

"Wake up, wake up, don't be fooled by this voice." Jiang Yuan pushed several people's shoulders to remind them.

However, the reactions of the companions were all wonderful in their own ways.

Luo Zhuying covered President Jiang's mouth and said calmly:

"Don't make any noise, I'm about to ascend."

Yu Sinian was equally calm: "Shh, I'm cultivating immortality."

Quan Wuxia sighed and said, "Amitabha."

Jin Ling clasped her hands together and said, "Amen."

Jiang Yuan: “…”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he had to raise his voice: "Don't practice anymore! Wake up! Becoming an immortal is an illusion! If you continue to practice, you will die!!!"

"Wake up, everyone!"

He shook people with greater force, and the immortals finally came out of their celestial state.

"I...what's wrong with me? I felt so calm just now..." Quan Wuxia murmured in a daze, and when he looked at his surroundings, he was even more surprised.

Now above their heads is the Milky Way sky that is within reach, under their feet are pure stone slabs that are not stained by dust, and clouds and mist are lingering in all directions, like a dream wonderland.

In front of it lies a large pond filled with white lotuses. On the lotus leaves that reach the sky, the lotus flowers are plump and moist, like the childish faces of babies, cute and lively, with a pure and wonderful fragrance.

There were no corpses or monsters to be seen, nor were there any scary traps. It was completely unlike the horror game venues seen in textbooks or on TV.

Instead, it is like a piece of paradise, which makes people feel peaceful, happy and joyful from the bottom of their hearts.

"...Is this the paradise?"

"Maybe." Jiang Yuan said:

"Be careful, there's something wrong with this wooden fish sound. It will make people enter a peaceful state without any desires or requests."

Jin Ling was curious: "Senior, isn't peace good?"

"It doesn't matter in other places, but being too calm and losing fear in the extinction game is not a good sign." Senior Jiang explained carefully:

“Fear is an emotion that occurs in the brain for self-protection when a person faces danger or threat. It can force and urge a person to escape danger more quickly.

Once you lose your fear, it is equivalent to losing the will to survive. If you do not resist when facing danger, you will become a lamb to be slaughtered.

In a world dominated by killing, stripping players of their fear right from the start is like removing a person's weapons or peeling off a cat's nails.

That’s not a good idea.”

The friends were horrified when they thought about it carefully, and immediately realized the sinister murderous intent hidden under the holiness. Their hearts trembled and they suddenly woke up.

*

Having said that, there are still benefits.

At least now the students have stopped crying.

While others were still immersed in cultivating immortals and the game characters had not yet appeared, Jiang Yuan paced back and forth, observing the surrounding environment like a flying bird.

The most suspicious thing now is the lotus pond that suddenly appeared in front of us.

The pond was large and irregular in shape. Large patches of translucent jade-colored lotus leaves covered the water. The edge of the pond was piled with half-meter-high smooth pebbles. The left and right sides of the pond were hidden in the white mist, and the end could not be seen clearly.

Directly opposite the lotus pond was also covered by layers of white fog. Only a huge shadow as tall as a mountain could be vaguely seen, standing silently.

Luo Zhuying raised his hand to his forehead and looked across: "Is there a mountain across the way? It's so high."

Yu Sinian made a preliminary guess: "If this is really paradise, then the opposite side could be the legendary Mount Xumi? We'll cross the pond first, then climb a mountain or something?"

Junior Quan suddenly realized: "It's possible!"

Luo Zhuying said impatiently: "You bastard, are you thinking this is a spring outing?"

Yu Sinian retorted: "...you rebellious son."

While several people were thinking wildly, Jiang Yuan walked to the edge of the pond, rolled up the sleeves of his school uniform, revealing his slender white arms, bent down, and prepared to lift a lotus leaf to take a look.

When the few people were talking just now, Qiu Ci who was standing beside them also woke up. Now seeing Jiang Yuan was about to touch her randomly, she immediately stepped forward nervously to stop him.

"Jiang Yuan, don't touch anything here! What if you trigger a level?"

Jiang Yuan turned around and said seriously: "Qiu Ci, do you know what is the most important thing when playing games?"

Qiuci: “What?”

"It means to understand the environment first, know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles!" He said, and took advantage of Qiu Ci's unpreparedness, grabbed his arm, and pulled him over:

"Come, let me show you something fun."

Qiu Ci subconsciously wanted to refuse, but just as she was about to struggle, her eyes fell into the pond, and she saw the strange scene hidden under the lotus leaves. Her heart was shocked, and she immediately calmed down. Following Jiang Yuan's words, she lay down by the pond and started to watch.

He looked so focused, as if he had seen a ghost.

Several people around followed and gathered near the pond.

A group of students in school uniforms gathered together, stood in a row, leaned over to lift up the lotus leaves, and observed the scenery below the pond.

You don't know until you see it. Once you see it, hey----

There really is a ghost.

The perspective is amazing, it's like they are sitting on a plane, looking down at the vast mountains and rivers.

Then, there was a strong dizzy feeling of falling, and everyone's eyes actually penetrated the surface of the mountains and rivers, fell into the underworld, and saw the Naihe Bridge, where a long queue of dead ghosts were queuing to cross the bridge to be reincarnated.

The sight was still moving downwards, passing through the underworld, across all kinds of cruel and bloody criminal hells, and straight to the depths of hell, where it stopped at a large sea of ​​blood surging with a bloody red glow.

"Oh my god." Luo Zhuying was so frightened that her pigtail shook, and she turned around and asked Jiang Yuan:

"Boss, what kind of Feng Shui treasure land is this?"

Jiang Yuan said: "Looking at the shape, it should be the bloody sea of ​​purgatory below hell."

There were many charred islands scattered all over the bloody sea.

There are reefs and dangerous shoals, rugged rocky reefs, some of which are connected together, and some are scattered. There are many black spots in the sea, which rise and fall with the waves, moving constantly like a colony of ants.

If you concentrate a little more, you can see clearly that the black spot is not an ant, but the dark hair of a ghost.

There are countless dark red-skinned monsters in the sea or on the shore.

Perhaps because they live underground, these humanoid creatures are extremely ugly. They do whatever they want and don't care about other people's opinions at all.

Ugly monsters with red faces and fangs, some ferocious, some desperate and miserable, some numb, crawled and rolled in the thick sea of ​​blood like energetic lizards.

The scene was so filthy that even from such a long distance away, one could smell the foul stench.

"oops!"

As if frightened, Jin Ling screamed, and immediately covered her eyes shyly, saying:

"Why... these ghosts don't wear any clothes?"

The only girl present was so frightened by the swaying, ugly and vulgar thing that she dared not open her eyes.

"This is the original evil ghost from the bottom of Purgatory." Qiuci explained:

"They were born in purgatory, born stupid and brutal. They are humanoid monsters that only rely on their instincts to kill. They don't even have a sense of shame, so how could they wear clothes?"

only......

It would be fine if I didn't say this, but now...

When the young men took a closer look, they all felt an indescribable envy of the things the evil ghosts boasted about.

Jin Ling blushed and asked again: "Then...then do you also look like this...?"

The young men gritted their teeth and said in unison: "Of course...of course!!!"
