The costumes are randomly assigned, and the five people in the team are assigned differently.

Ming Shu is a witch, Xia Zhu is a vampire, and the other three are a headless ghost, a skeleton ghost, and a chainsaw killer.

They also received two side quests. After checking again, Ming Shu found that other people only needed to go to one place to get supplies, but his quest details showed two.

"A half-blood witch with a devil's tail", the witch corresponds to the Nether Swamp, and the devil's tail corresponds to the Devil City.

"Half-blood witch?" The teammates showed curiosity, "Why do you feel that you are different from us?"

Another teammate looked at Mingshu: "Before we came here, there were three teams over there that successfully formed a team. It seems that none of them had half-blood witches, nor did they go to two destinations. Is this a special outfit?"

The people who entered this dungeon, except for Ming Shu, signed up voluntarily. They had a stronger purpose, to clear the level and get as many points as possible, and they were very sensitive to any unusual information.

"Half-Blood Witch" might be some kind of hidden item, the kind that can trigger hidden plots or tasks.

The selected attire cannot be changed. Mingshu is pretty, so it is a more suitable choice for him to dress up as a witch. Does the system assign based on appearance?

Xia Zhu changed the topic in time: "After getting the costume, we still have to check whether it is qualified or not?"

As described in the side quest, it is necessary to make any npc's fear value/amazing value/** value reach more than 50. The task time limit is four days. After finding the decoration materials, they still have one day to complete this side quest.

"Is it to put on costumes to scare people? Isn't Halloween still here?"

"I know the fear value, the exclamation value means to make others feel very powerful and similar? What is this starred thing..."

Several people guessed one after another that it might be an emotional value such as disgust, nausea, or making people uncomfortable. After all, they were playing ghosts.

"It can't be the favorability..." one of the teammates said, "This is our Halloween costume."

Ming Shu listened to the discussion of several people, and lost his mind for a while.

He remembered that in the last dungeon, among the numerical values ​​representing Si Ning's emotions, there was no specific description, so he didn't know what it meant.

They are all copies of the same series, is there any connection?

But the background and plot of the two dungeons are different, so it seems that they cannot be used as a reference...

Unable to draw a specific conclusion, Xia Zhu looked at everyone: "Then what are we now? Are we looking for supplies together?"

"Let's act separately. The places we want to go to are not in the same place, and it will waste time," said the teammate. "The main task is only three days, and it must be completed as soon as possible."

Time was running out, so they stopped several small town residents and asked where the places mentioned in the mission were.

In the end, the team was divided into two groups, Ming Shu and Xia Zhu were joined by another person, and the remaining two went in opposite directions.

The teammate who went with Mingshu is called Shan Qi. His costume is a chainsaw killer. in the same direction.

The three of them set off together, Xia Zhu took some bread out of his pocket, and gave half of it to Mingshu on the way.

Mingshu reached out to take it, and recognized that the bread was the same as the ones in his house.

Xia Zhu didn't have time to eat breakfast, so she finished the bread with a few mouthfuls, Ming Shu saw that there was nothing unusual, so she took a bite.

The bread tastes very good, with a fresh pumpkin smell, sweet.



The next progress was much smoother than expected. Other players randomly assigned vampires and chainsaw killers. When they came to the abandoned farm, other players had already found a bloody chainsaw from the farm.

The chainsaw was hidden in the haystack at the back of the farm. There were seven or eight of them, and the mottled blood stains had turned black.

Shan Qi took a handful, pressed the switch to confirm that it was intact, and waved it to cut open the haystack in front of him.

The ear-piercing sound made Mingshu feel uncomfortable, he took a step back, stepped on something, looked down and found it was a bone.

Most of the bones were hidden in the soil, and it was impossible to tell what kind of animal it was. Ming Shu moved it away immediately and urged: "Let's go quickly."

Shan Qi turned off the chainsaw and wrapped the chainsaw with some hay: "OK."

The unoccupied cemetery is not far from the farm, and several people are digging the ground.

Xia Zhu picked out a tombstone without inscriptions, used stones to dig out the soil in front of the tombstone, and dug out an iron box, which contained two sharp white fangs.

"Vampire's teeth?" Xia Zhu raised his teeth and looked at them in the sunlight, "It's interesting..."

It wasn't hard to find anything. After getting the chainsaw and fangs, Xia Zhu and Shan Qi's side missions were also completed.

The last is Mingshu's mission, the Nether Swamp is in the small woods to the north of the cemetery.

It was noon in a blink of an eye, and the three of them planned to have something to eat first, and then go to the swamp in the afternoon.

There was a farmer on the outskirts of the abandoned farm. Shan Qi went there alone, and when he came back, he had bread and a few bags of hot milk in his hand.

Xia Zhu took it over: "Is this a gift from the residents?"

"I bought it." Shan Qi took a bite of the bread, "there is a lot of money in the accommodation arranged for us, don't you have any?"

Xia Zhu and Ming Shu looked at each other: "We didn't pay attention."

Both of them may belong to the timid and cautious category, Ming Shu didn't even touch the food in the house, and only ate it himself when he came out during the day and saw Xia Zhu eating it.

After eating the bread, Shan Qi looked at the chainsaw in his hand: "The blood on it should not exceed a week... Is our task too simple?"

"Simple isn't good enough?" Xia Zhu put the fangs carefully into his pocket, "If we have time after going to the swamp in the afternoon, let's go to Devil City again."

They haven't asked where Devil City is, it doesn't sound like there are buildings in this town.

After noon, more and more players came to the vicinity to look for chainsaws and vampire fangs. Xia Zhu kindly showed someone the way and gained a new friend.

After the three of them rested, they continued to move forward, bypassing the cemetery and heading towards the grove.

The closer to the woods, the remote environment nearby, fewer and fewer players are looking for supplies, and the sunlight is blocked by the lush leaves.

The area of ​​the woods is not large, and after a certain distance, a dilapidated log cabin appeared not far away, the soil under the feet became moist, and green algae hung on many tree trunks and gravel.

Xia Zhu used a branch to explore the way, and sure enough, he found a small swamp in front of him. The three carefully went around and pushed open the door of the wooden house.

The house was covered with thick dust, the tables and chairs were placed randomly, and there were layers of spider webs in the corners, and the various furnishings could hardly see their original appearance.

On the hanger in the corner, there was a very clean dark red robe, as if someone had just hung it there just now, and it was out of tune with everything around.

This scene looked very strange, Mingshu was the last one to step in, and the dilapidated wooden door behind him suddenly closed automatically with a soft "bang".

Startled, he looked around nervously.

Shan Qi was the calmest one, he raised his chin: "Is that the one? The witch's wizard robe?"

He turned sideways to get out of the way, and Ming Shu walked over slowly, the wooden plank under his feet made a "creaking" sound.

Passing by the window, out of the corner of his eye, Mingshu caught a glimpse of a shadow quickly passing through the woods outside.

He turned his head to look, but found nothing. The window glass was mottled and stained, and his own reflection was vaguely reflected.

Maybe it was a mistake... Ming Shu stabilized his mind and reached out to take off the robe from the wooden stand.

[Sub-quest 1: Obtaining supplies (2/[-])]

After getting the robe, a system message popped up, indicating that the task was half completed.

Mingshu turned off the reminder, turned around and said, "Okay."

It seems that everything is as usual, as simple as before, Shan Qi nodded: "Go back to the town first, and ask where the Devil City is."

Xia Zhu was the closest to the door, he was the first to turn around, and opened the door of the wooden house, his body suddenly froze.

"When we came here," he said in a serious tone, "didn't we go this way?"

Shan Qi stepped forward immediately, and there was a small swamp and sparse woods outside the wooden house, but now it has changed obviously.

The swamp became bigger, and the trees in front of it were densely packed, and the crowns of the trees covering the sky and the sun were connected into one piece.

It took only a few minutes for them to go in, as if they had traveled through several hours, and came directly to six or seven in the afternoon.

Shan Qi showed vigilance, and held the chainsaw tightly in his hand: "Do you still remember the way?"

"I marked it along the way, but..." Xia Zhu's voice trembled, pointing to a tree in front of the door, "I remember that there was no tree here."

The swamp was still there, the three of them carefully walked out of the wooden house, Xia Zhu searched around, but the marked trees were gone, and they were in a brand new forest.

Shan Qi put down the chainsaw, climbed up the tree to observe the terrain from above, jumped down after a while, shook his head: "I can't see anything, it seems to be covered by fog."

Xia Zhu picked up another stone: "Let's go first, and see if we can go back the same way."

He probably remembered the direction when he came, and he used stones to draw marks on the trees as he walked.

More than ten minutes later, the three of them stood in front of the familiar wooden house. The swamp remained the same, and the tree trunks that should have been scratched were clean.

Shan Qi's face was not very good-looking: "A ghost hit the wall?"

The three of them tried again and returned to the wooden house. Xia Zhu chose a different direction for the third time, but the result was still the same.

Shan Qi couldn't hold back, turned on the chainsaw and planned to use the most direct method to get out of the woods. However, the chainsaw that was still working on the farm at this time turned off after two moves, and it couldn't be used after that.

Ming Shu hugged the robe in his arms, stood aside and looked around.

They ran back and forth three times, and the temperature in the woods was getting lower and lower, and the cold spread under their feet.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past Ming Shu's back, carrying a trace of warmth, as if someone was close to his ear, exhaling close at hand, while gently sniffing his skin.

Ming Shu turned around suddenly, there was nothing behind her, and the warm wind also disappeared.

His heart beat faster and he held his breath nervously.

But at this moment, the sky turned "bright".

The woods seemed to have returned to their original appearance in a blink of an eye, Xia Zhu turned around, and the tree that had been carved before was on his side.

"Huh?" He looked puzzled, and walked around the area, "Did we come out?"

But they didn't do anything, just waited there for a while.

It's as if they entered a certain level and passed it inexplicably halfway through.

Shan Qi turned on the chainsaw in his hand again, and the chainsaw can be used normally.

He remained vigilant and signaled Xia Zhu to lead the way: "Go, try again."

This time, the three of them did not encounter any obstacles and left the woods to return to the edge of the cemetery.

Shan Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "It went well, but it took a lot of time."

"Hurry up and go back to the town, this place..." Xia Zhu wanted to say that this place is very weird, but on second thought, the town is not much better.

Before leaving, Ming Shu hugged the robe tightly in his arms, and glanced at the woods behind.

He quickened his pace and walked to Xia Zhu's side, and whispered: "We were in the woods just now, did you feel that someone was following us?"

Just after the forest returned to its original appearance, the three of them came out, and Ming Shu always felt that there was another line of sight looking at him in the forest.

"It seems not." Xia Zhu shook his head blankly, and comforted: "Don't worry, I went to the cemetery to dig the grave in broad daylight, and it's all right."

Shan Qi, who was walking in the front, was in a hurry, and should not have noticed anything unusual, Ming Shu hesitated to speak.

None of the three saw it, but a vague figure appeared in the woods behind, staring at the direction Ming Shu left.
