The world inside and outside [Unlimited Streaming]

Awakening of NPCs...

Is it a specific one, or a group?Is there any trigger mechanism?To what extent have they awakened?Why can it be described as awakening by [Tall Buildings Will Fall]?If it was just an ordinary NPC with high IQ, the other party would never say that.

Chu Xiu was full of doubts, but he did not announce the matter.

The taskers can't see the future, can't find hope, and walk on the edge of life and death all the time. They are just ordinary people. If there is no accident, this life will be passed in peace.

But it is a pity that they were unfortunately involved in the most terrifying and dark world, and the scythe of death was on their necks all the time. Several, one batch after another died, but the number of registrations on the website only increased.

The other three people in the car seemed optimistic, laughing and playing, and it was because they knew that they might die at any time, so they wanted to try their best to leave a smile at the last moment of their lives.

After experiencing life and death, they need to abide by the laws and regulations of modern society, which is really too high for them.They have acquiesced in the behavior of the executors to vent their hostility to the local residents of this world, and call them NPCs.

Killing people here is better than killing people in the real world.

This is why Chu Xiu chose to hide it.

If this matter is made public, it will inevitably make the executors who are already teetering on the tightrope quickly lose their balance, and bring immeasurable consequences.It is estimated that [Tall Buildings Will Fall] also thought so, so he chose to tell himself this matter.However, although he said in the email that he only informed himself, it cannot be guaranteed that what he said was true. It is not known whether other people have also received this message.

Compared with the uneasiness vaguely revealed in He Lou's text, Chu Xiu's view is completely different.

For a long time, it is not that no one has tried to find the secret behind the mission, but in the end they all failed.The awakened NPC mentioned by He Lou may be a turning point.

It's a pity that the other party didn't reveal any more information. He doesn't know who that NPC is. In this world... can he find it?

The vehicle continued to drive, and the four people in the car chatted happily. If you don't see that the area they are advancing is becoming more and more secluded and deep, they look no different from ordinary people who come out to play.

The surroundings became more and more desolate. When they arrived at their destination, the scene in front of them could not be described as terrifying. The surroundings were silent and there was no one in sight. Any creature exists, the sunburned road reveals a mottled stiff white background, and the trees and vegetation are also bare, with all their leaves dropped.

The vehicle was parked in front of an old road sign. This road sign was very strange. The blue primer was almost gone, revealing the silver-white metal underneath, but the characters on it were bright red, intact, and it was easy to recognize Nether Road three words.

It's like... words made of blood.

"Okay, here it is, let's confirm the task again. There are seven days and seven games in total. On the first day, we will randomly bring two passers-by on Nether Road, and play a game called Shadow with them at the crossroads at midnight. In this game, one person at a time must complete all the steps, and only after everyone has completed can they leave." The driver's name was Nie Yunzhen, and he was the first to speak after the car stopped.

After he finished the task, he looked at the road sign and felt a heavy heart.

There seems to be something ominous in this place, it is in the corner, watching everyone!

"Come to this kind of place to play this game..." The man in the back seat had turned extremely pale.

He tried his best to stir up the topic just now, just to reduce the fear in his heart, but Nie Yunzhen's words mercilessly pierced his fantasy.

He is still afraid of that thing, including... this game.

The name of the game is called Shadow, maybe there is another name, that is - Zhaogui!It requires participating players to stand alone on the side of the road after midnight, and to walk forward facing their own shadows by moonlight or street lamps. Every time they take a step, they must call their names and walk to ten minutes. After three steps, you can leave.

Ye Shengke, the man in the back seat, was also a materialist before he was pulled into the mission for no reason, but he was a very courageous person at that time, he didn't believe in ghosts in the world, and he often played some supernatural games with like-minded friends, what kind of pen? I have played all of Bloody Mary, the fairy saucer, and the highest record is that I once spent the night alone in the cemetery.At that time, he was complacent, filming the whole process of himself playing the game, bragging to his friends: "I have already said that there are no ghosts in this world, and they are all scaring themselves."

until later...

Ye Shengke finally learned his lesson.

Three years ago, he took his friends to play this game called shadow. It is said that when you walk to step No.13, you will find that there is one more shadow on the ground. That shadow is the "thing" you recruited, and it may help you A favor, and maybe a favor for you.

At that time, Ye Shengke didn't believe it, so he played it first, but nothing happened.My friend was a bit timid at first, and after seeing that nothing happened to him, he also got off the car on the side of the road, facing his own shadow and walked step by step, but when he reached step No.13, he really...

Ye Shengke closed his eyes, not daring to think about it.

Now, play the game again.

"Yezi, do you remember that incident again?" The woman sitting beside him comforted him.

She is petite, has a baby face, and looks very cute, but she is two years older than Ye Shengke, and she studied at the same university as Ye Shengke. At this moment, there is a gentleness in her eyes that does not match her temperament: "Don't you Blame yourself, that incident is not your fault, you did not intend to harm him."

Ye Shengke smiled wryly: "Senior sister, don't comfort me, if I hadn't proposed to play this game, he wouldn't..."

"Okay, we're all here, can you say something auspicious?" Nie Yunzhen interrupted the memory of the two of them, "Let's worry about whether passers-by will come to this ghostly place."

Indeed, there is nothing here, it is desolate, and even the scene is scary, it can be directly used as a ghost movie scene.

Even if there is someone, I don't know if it is really a person, or...

But that's how the mission was stipulated, and they didn't dare to violate it, otherwise wouldn't it be better to just drag two people from the busy city?

"Let's not say if there are passers-by, even if there are, it's hard to get them to play this game together? We also need to find a way." Nie Yunzhen said again.

After all, ordinary people are not out of their minds, who is okay to play with this thing?scare yourself.Perhaps, they can only use some violent means.

Speaking of this, Chu Xiu, who has always seldom talked, said rarely: "Don't worry about this problem."

Nie Yun really didn't know what method Chu Xiu had, but since he was so sure, there must be some method.He nodded: "Then I'll trouble Brother Chu later."

Next, the four sat quietly in the car and waited, trying to wait for passers-by.

"Qingqing, it's so late now, do you really want to go there at night? It's very dangerous." On the other side of the road, two girls with schoolbags came over, and the taller girl said worriedly.

She looked at the schoolbag of the girl beside her with some fear in her eyes.

"Okay, Sissi, you don't need to persuade me. Grandma has already told me that cats hang on trees and dogs abandon water. If I don't bring Xiaomi here, our family will have bad luck."

"But, it's really scary here. Shall we come in the daytime tomorrow? It's going to be dark soon."

Winter is approaching, it gets dark early, it’s already past six o’clock, the sun has already set, only a little warm light is still hanging on the horizon, and Yinming Road is enough to scare people away no matter from the name or the environment A timid girl.

Hearing this, there was some hesitation in Wen Qing's eyes, she tightened her hand holding the schoolbag, and still shook her head: "No way." Her eyes were full of fear, which Yun Qian had never seen on the always bold Wen Qing's face. through such intense fear.

"No, it must be today...he said, it must be today..."

"Him? Who is he? Did your grandmother say that?"

But no matter what Yunqian asked next, Wen Qing didn't answer anymore, she only comforted her good friend: "It's okay, look, we're already here, just find a tree and hang it up."

In her schoolbag, there was a sweet and greasy fragrance faintly mixed with the smell of blood. Yun Qian accidentally smelled it, and immediately turned her head away.

"But, the trees here have lost all their leaves, so where are the dense trees?" Yun Qian stopped trying to persuade her, and just looked around.

It is true that both sides of the road are full of trees, but the huge dense forest has lost all its leaves, only twisted and bare branches.

"Let's look for it again." Speaking of this, Wen Qing was also a little embarrassed, she took Yun Qian's hand, "It's okay, I will protect you, we will go back soon."

No one knew, she squeezed the amulet in her pocket with her other hand.

It was getting darker and darker, and the two girls held each other's hands tightly, walking step by step on the dark road ahead that was covered by the shadow of the forest.

I don't know if it's Yunqian's illusion, but the sweet and greasy aroma in her nose is getting stronger and stronger.

There was a faint light ahead, and walking forward, it turned out to be a car. It seemed that the people in the car were chatting.

With someone around, the two girls felt much more at ease and moved forward faster.Just looking at the headlights, they really saw a tree with some leaves growing beside the road ahead.

Yun Qian squeezed Wen Qing's hand, and said in surprise, "I found it!"

The two of them ran over in two steps at a time, leaving the road and coming to the tree.Wen Qing compared and found that she was not tall enough to reach the lowest branch, so she couldn't help looking at Yun Qian for help.

Yunqian is taller, so it should be fine.

"Sissy, I, I can't reach..."

Yun Qian was so frightened that she waved her hands again and again: "Don't look at me, it's already very courageous for me to accompany you, I dare not."

"Alright then." Wen Qing turned around and put down her schoolbag, and took out a plastic bag and a rope from the bag.

Inside the plastic bag was a ball of something unknown, bulging into a ball, the size of two palms closed.Wen Qing uncovered the outer layer of the bag, and another layer inside, she patiently uncovered layer by layer.

With her movements, the sweet and greasy smell became more and more intoxicating, and Yunxi turned her head away unbearably, and took a few steps away to breathe.Wen Qing didn't care, she peeled off the plastic bag layer by layer, and inside... was a bloody black cat corpse!

Yun Qian was so frightened that she didn't even dare to look. She looked around to divert her attention, and said, "I'll wait for you outside first." After finishing speaking, she hurried to the side of the road.

Wen Qing didn't care, she held her kitten and shed tears.

This is her little mi, how could she be afraid?

She was holding the kitten in both hands, and she had no time to manage the rope, so she felt that her behavior was a bit inappropriate, she should throw the rope over first, what should I do now?

Xiaomi can't touch the ground.

"Sissy, how about this, can you throw the rope over for me, okay? The rope is clean, and I'll tie Xiaomi to it later." Wen Qing lowered her head and touched Xiaomi, regardless of her fullness. With blood on her hands, she raised her volume to call her friend.

Unexpectedly, a strange male voice came from behind her.

"Okay."

"Ah——" Wen Qing was startled, and turned around in a hurry, and then saw her friend standing not far behind, her eyes were full of fear, but she didn't dare to speak out.

Because her head was being held by a gun.

There were four more people beside Yun Qian, three men and one woman. The man who spoke just now was the closest to her with a smile on his face.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?!" Wen Qing took a step back in fright, stepped on the plastic bag, made a little sizzling sound, and was full of all kinds of news about the rule of law.

As everyone knows, the dead cat in her hand also startled Nie Yunzhen who was approaching her.

The four of them looked at each other without a trace, and they all felt that this girl was weird.But there is no way, there are only these two passers-by now.

"It's okay, as long as you play a game with us." The woman among the four said, "As long as you are obedient, we will not make things difficult for you."

Wen Qing was trembling all over.

What she should do most at this time is to put down the cat in her hand and call the police quietly, but...Xiao Mi can't touch the ground.

"What, what game?" She had already thought of some news that Jinjiang could not pass the trial, and she couldn't help but regret her reckless behavior.

If these men really want... What should she do?

What should she and Qingqing do?

If it really got to that point, she would just... put Xiao Mi on the ground!

But those people gave an answer that she hadn't even thought about, which was quite different from what she had imagined.

"Shadow?"

"Yes, did you hear the rules of the game clearly?" said the woman among them.

Her voice was very gentle and soft, but it sounded like a devil to their ears.Wen Qing hurriedly said: "I see, you... can you let her go first?"

Chu Xiu retracted the gun that was on Yun Qian's head, and pushed him lightly. The girl immediately rushed towards her friend, but she paused because of the black cat corpse in her hand, and stood next to him as best as possible.

"After midnight, after playing this game, we will naturally send you out." Chu Xiu's speed was so fast that no one could see where he hid the gun. He took a careful look at the two girls, his eyes on Wen Qing stayed on his face for a moment longer.

Could she be an awakened NPC?

No, still need to observe.

"You keep what you say." Wen Qing's voice was still a little trembling, but she didn't show much weakness, which surprised the four of them.

"By the way, can you tell us now, what is it that you are holding in your hand?" Nie Yunzhen continued to ask with a smile.

Wen Qing pursed her lips: "My cat is called Xiao Mi."

"Then why did you bring it here? What were you doing under the tree just now?" The woman among the four continued to ask softly.

Her name is Shiyan, and seeing the two girls relying on each other, she seemed to see her former self and her best friend Ah Xin.

It's a pity that Ah Xin...

Shi Yan's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he recovered quickly.

There is still a long time before zero, they are not in a hurry, they must ask for information first.

These two weird girls, what's the secret behind this weird place.

Wen Qing didn't want to answer, but she couldn't help it, she took a deep breath: "Xiao Mi died suddenly, I brought it here to bury it."

"Buried? Why hang on a tree?"

"Because, that's what my grandmother told me. My grandmother said..."

At this moment, in a corner of an old neighborhood in this city, a handsome young man knocked on a door, holding a black kitten in his hand.

"Hello, is this the Wen family, right? I found the cat you posted on the cat hunting notice." The man smiled gently, "The little girl who lost the cat is called Wen Qing, isn't she?"

It was an old man who opened the door. She glanced at the cat in the young man's hand and nodded repeatedly: "Ah, yes, thank you young man. By the way, how do you know the name of my granddaughter?"

Speaking of this, the old man slapped his head again: "Oh, that little girl, you must have written your name on it."

The black kitten purred softly, jumped out of the young man's arms, and swaggered in like its owner had returned home.

"Young man, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?" The old woman greeted him happily, "By the way, I don't know what your name is?"

The man smiled: "You don't need to be so polite, by the way, my name is Lu Yanli." His eyes scanned the room without any trace, "Has your granddaughter not come back yet? I also picked up her student ID here. "

Speaking of this, the old woman was also a little worried: "Not yet, I don't know if I went to find the cat after school again."

Lu Yanli handed over his student ID card and casually comforted him: "It's okay, I'll come back safely."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the old lady's persuasion and waved away.
