It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Of course Cheng Shan didn't understand. He had only participated in a few games, and the levels were all below four.

But Sun Xingye is different, he has more gaming experience.

The most dangerous dungeon he had ever participated in was a group mission on the fifth floor.

That was his first time seeing a group mission.

He nearly died in that dungeon.

When the collective mission is an impossible task, the side quest becomes everyone's goal.

And often... side quests.

It is extremely bloody and violent, and even completely inhumane.

Killing a teammate is already considered good.

Sometimes, only one person can survive in a group of people.

There is a group of people in the Fox Slayer Organization who specialize in studying the horror games of gods.

They even have a guide to system terminology, although it is not fully collected yet and there is not much content.

However, the increase in game difficulty is definitely not a normal thing.

Because the difficulty of the game seems to have a hidden standard.

The system says there are too many survivors.

This means that there is more than a 90% chance that someone will die while traveling in the desert, and the number of deaths will not be limited to just one or two.

Once the number of people exceeds a certain hidden value, the difficulty will increase.

What was the reason that fewer people died this time?

Sun Xingye had an answer in his mind.

He looked at Xiao Huai with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, and his voice was very low.

"Cheng Shan, is there a possibility that the NPC has been secretly helping us and increasing our chances of survival?"

When Cheng Shan heard this, he felt for the first time that Sun Xingye was mentally ill.

Although Sun Xingye is usually quite naughty and likes to act like a jerk, he thinks quickly and is considered a brainy person in the organization.

But this statement? It's too outrageous.

NPCs help players? And increase their chances of survival?

They are not related to each other, why should NPC help them?

Cheng Shan: "You're overthinking it. How could an NPC help a player? Your idea is a bit ridiculous."

Sun Xingye said with a stern face: "I hope so. I'd rather this guy just use force on us."

I’m most afraid of encountering an NPC who says one thing in public and another behind the scenes.

But he didn't appear to be very warm and friendly towards them. It could even be said that he had a vicious and terrifying vibe.

This... really made him confused.

The entire journey to the hotel was shrouded in a low atmosphere, and the players were dejected.

Even though some of them have only participated in three horror games, it doesn't mean they are fools.

They certainly understand the concept of increasing difficulty.

As the difficulty of horror games increases, players are given fewer choices.

Live as a villain or die in obscurity.

Ji Yelin was the first to cheer up. She forced a smile and said:

"Everyone, unity is strength. We will definitely be able to find the witch's treasure and get out. It hasn't been easy for us to get here."

The others looked up at Ji Yelin.

They had struggled together in the desert, and although sharing crows was not the nicest thing, everyone was hungry and thirsty that night.

Crows can also be barbecued.

Everything becomes a beautiful memory.

"Yes, we can do it." The others answered weakly.

Xiao Huai walked at the front of the crowd. He looked back at them with a cold and emotionless look:

"It's not that easy to get the witch's treasure. Just give up on this idea."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was frightened at first, then panicked, but finally... inexplicably confused.

Feeling hopeful.

If you analyze carefully what he just said.

"How can it be so easy to get it?"

Does this mean that he has seen the witch's treasure and may know where the witch's treasure is?

Before in the desert, he had given them hints intentionally or unintentionally, and even saved one of their players.

Maybe, if we listen to him carefully, he is the key, and then it is really possible to complete the collective task.

Xiao Huai turned around and continued walking forward.

I guess my own personality has already been formed among this group of people.

Dangerous, yet kind.

He sighed softly in his heart. The difficulty had actually increased.

This is not easy to handle.

The side quest completely challenges the fragility of human nature.

As long as one of them abandons the collective mission and starts slaughtering teammates, he, as the Holy Father, will probably be in great pain.

In military strategy, provoking a general can be used as a psychological suggestion.

To control people's hearts, often only a little hint is needed.

The hotel was shabby and the door creaked when Xiao Huai pushed it open.

"Cough cough cough! Uh cough cough!"

The moment the door was pushed open, a lot of dust was blown up and entered the mouth and nose.

Suddenly, the player following Xiao Huai didn't react in time and was forced to inhale a mouthful of dust. He coughed and covered his mouth and nose, tears welling up in his eyes.

Xiao Huai coughed lightly twice. In order to maintain his cool image, he didn't cough much even though he was the first victim of the dust.

I just bit my lips lightly and tried not to cough.

As a result, my eye circles became a little red.

Xiao Huai noticed a gaze from the side, but he didn't look.

But he knew that it was Lu Yuanshi who was watching him.

When the dust settled, all the players' pupils shrank suddenly and goose bumps covered their bodies.

Densely packed rules were written everywhere in the hotel in scarlet, blood-like, sticky paint.

The fonts were twisted and weird, and every door and ceiling was covered with gloomy paint.

Even the rules are written on the clock hanging in the middle of the lobby.

Players who didn't have trypophobia before almost suffocated in this environment.

"1. Witches are all lowly, humble, and unfaithful. Please do not sympathize with them."

"2. The witches' night walk begins at : PM. Please do not disturb them."

"3. There is a curfew from am to am. Anyone leaving will be killed."

"4. The treasure hunt is from : AM to : AM. Those who passively seek treasure will die."

"5. Soulworms are beautiful and kind. Please do not kill any soulworms in Aledi Village. Violators will be killed."

"6. Unlimited food and water. The restaurant will refresh them daily. Enjoy as you please."

The last one left everyone confused.

"7. All children invited to the witch's house are naughty. Every night, the witch will randomly punish the bad children."

There are seven rules, three of which directly indicate death as punishment, and one rule states that punishment will be imposed.

What the hell is this copy?

For a moment, fear once again shrouded people's hearts.

Treasure hunting, is it really possible to survive until you find it?

Ji Yelin took out paper and pen, held the pen in her right hand, and wrote down all the rules in the notebook.

The others also quickly came to their senses and remembered the rules.

Xiao Huai left the crowd and pushed open the door of a room.

"Wait... for you." The players were about to call Xiao Huai when he had already pushed open the door.

The layout of the room is different from the stereotypical hotel.

The hotel rooms weren't exactly weird, but at least the beds weren't surrounded by bed rails.

Bed rails are used to protect babies from rolling over and falling off the bed while sleeping.

There are two single beds here, both surrounded by bed rails.

Moreover, the pure white and clean interior of the room forms a sharp contrast with the dirty and messy appearance outside.
