Kong was speechless when he saw the man's appearance. He now had a very embarrassing topic and didn't know whether he should bring it up.
"Actually, if you're short of food, you can just ask the people in the group for it. It seems like most of the people in the group are from a world where food is easily available. It's not difficult to get it."
Wilson stopped moving.
Wilson stopped thinking.
Wilson began to feel that the apple in his hand was not fragrant.
But the other party was really giving me a good reminder, it was just that I was stupid and didn't notice it.
His voice suddenly became weak, as if he was barely breathing, and his words were spoken slowly.
"Thanks for the reminder. By the way, don't you eat ghosts?"
I've eaten.
The ghost heard the conversation between the two people and quickly raised the sign he had prepared long ago. There was no guilty look on his face, although even if he felt guilty it probably wouldn't be visible.
But this time it didn't talk nonsense. It actually tore into pieces and tasted a little bit of everything, except for the sweet flower stuffed chicken dish that it had put in the package and almost forgotten. It was just that it moved quickly and secretly enough that no one noticed its slightly scary way of eating.
"Why don't you first tell me about the rules of your world?"
Kong didn't dwell on this matter any further. He just squatted by the campfire and listened quietly. As a traveler, he had naturally seen all kinds of worlds and knew that each world had its own characteristics. If he acted rashly, he would probably suffer losses.
The sky above our heads was already tilted, and it was estimated that it would be night soon.
"The rules of the world? Are they really that profound? I'm not too sure. I only know there are huge spiders and strange pigmen here. This is too weird. I've never seen pigs walk upright like humans before. Also, you absolutely cannot leave the light source when it's dark. I went crazy and tried it once, but it only took a moment, and the pain was so severe that my internal organs almost shifted. I couldn't tell what hit me, and even if I lit a torch, I couldn't see a thing."
"Okay, I understand. The task requirements are a bit vague, so you'd better make them clearer. Otherwise, you might end up causing all sorts of problems."
"As for my needs, food has been taken care of. If possible, I need a weapon."
Sora fell into a rare silence.
"Ah, if this question embarrasses you, then just pretend I never said it. I'm so sorry!"
"without"
Sora began to recall some heartbreaking scenes.
"what?"
Wilson looked at the man blankly.
"No, it's not difficult at all."
As he said this, he took out a strangely shaped mace from his space pocket and handed it to the person with a distorted look on his face.
Looking at this, he remembered the 480 that he had skipped.
Damn, what the hell is that lottery mechanism? Or is it really just about convincing people with reason, and everything else is a scam?
Whenever he thought of this, he couldn't help but shed tears.
The devil cannot change fate, and money cannot save evil.
033 Gradually lost in the darkness?
The sky darkened much faster than Sora and the little knight had imagined. Before they could even do anything else, the black curtain silently appeared above them, pitch black and deep, refusing to reveal even a hint of light.
Even if he stretched his hands out of the range of the flames, his hands would become completely invisible. No matter how hard he tried, he could only see a dark mass like ink. This rule completely exceeded the common sense of physics, which made Kong feel a little tricky.
He and Wilson squatted by the fire and began to discuss the adventures they would have at dawn tomorrow. At least they couldn't do nothing like they had just arrived today.
The young knight took out the chair Steve had given him, sat down on it and opened the map. Unlike the blank map before, there were pictures here. However, they were different from the sloppy roads he had drawn, and they looked more three-dimensional.
It was so fascinated by what it saw that it didn't even notice the firelight gradually dimming. It was already on the edge of the firelight, but after a moment it was enveloped by deep darkness. It didn't until it could no longer see its map that it raised its head in distress and found that everything around it was pitch black and it couldn't see anything clearly.
It was even darker here than in that strange deep nest.
Unexpectedly, the darkness here did not make it feel uncomfortable. Instead, it seemed to cheer for its arrival and led it deeper into some unknown darkness.
This made it gradually give up the idea of taking out a lantern to illuminate the surroundings.
Following its new curiosity, it jumped off the chair and gradually wandered farther and farther. Perhaps it was too comfortable, so it took off its shell and wrapped itself in its own huge and real body, moving slowly forward.
"So you can't just set up a tent or shelter in this world?"
Sora watched Wilson, who was gradually regaining his confidence while talking about the future construction of the base, and made a fatal blow while complaining.
"Before, you might have been limited by restrictions and could only build some simple walls, but I think with the power of group chats, you no longer need to be limited to the original rules of this world."
"Oh, oh, yes, yes, God, have I been here for so long? Has my mind also degenerated? If so, what's the difference between me and those wandering monsters?"
Wilson covered his face in frustration, and the resentment of being a worthless person was almost visibly emanating from his body.
"Ah, it's not that exaggerated. It's normal to be unexpected."
After seeing people's reactions, Kong realized that he had said something wrong and quickly apologized with an embarrassed smile on his face.
"It's okay. No need to comfort me. Those are the facts. A loser like me shouldn't be calling myself a great scientist in a group chat. Now, because of my stupidity, I've been tricked into another world. I'm like a useless pine cone, useless except for making the flames burn a little higher. Perhaps my ultimate fate is to turn into a pile of ashes, blown away by the wind, leaving no trace in this world."
Wilson's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and the word "bald" was almost written all over his face. As he spoke, he added a pine cone to the flame.
"Don't be so depressed. Pine cones are also useful. They contain incredible energy. When they find the opportunity, they will sprout branches and grow into a big tree with vigorous vitality." Kong saw that something was wrong with the person and almost cried for help in his heart. He was not very good at comforting people. It would be great if Paimeng was here at this time. At least he could join in the game to ease the whole atmosphere.
"I know, but not all pine cones sprout. Some die from the inside out. I guess I'm one of those completely necrotic, foolish ones who can't sprout at all..."
As the flames gradually expanded, Kong's expression became increasingly awkward as he listened to the people's chatter, until he discovered something that was not quite right.
The ghost disappeared.
Kong's expression immediately became serious. He grabbed the still depressed Wilson's shoulders and shook him.
"Something bad has happened! The ghost has disappeared!"
"what?"
Let’s not talk about that two-person team that was in chaos because of the inexplicable disappearance of the little knight.
In the peaceful and comfortable snow town.
Fricks finally left the comfort zone that made her feel peaceful and at ease, but at the same time, some strange sounds became louder and louder, the kind of muttering that was impossible to hear clearly. She once thought it was just auditory hallucination caused by the noise from the neighbors after staying in the hotel for too long. Compared with other things, this was simply insignificant.
Therefore, she no longer paid attention to it.
But in the places she had never noticed, the black color of determination became deeper and more vivid.
But she was now caught in some strange situation, like a fog so thick that it was almost completely invisible, and now she couldn't see anything clearly.
Then she heard a familiar voice and saw a familiar dark shadow.
"Human, please allow me to tell you about some complicated feelings. This complicated feeling is like..."
The other party paused for a moment, and she listened patiently.
"The joy of finding another pasta lover, the admiration for another puzzle master, the desire to have someone cool and smart think you're cool, that feeling... this must be what it feels like right now!"
The other party made a conclusion about her on his own initiative, and Fricks also admitted the other party's self-assertion. She continued to listen silently, and her clenched hands loosened. She thought he still had to go through an inevitable war and experience a bloody death that could not be ignored. It was really great that he didn't have to die.
The other party was still talking to himself.
"I can hardly imagine what it feels like to be like this? After all, I am very great, and I have never wondered what it feels like to have a bunch of friends. So I feel sorry for you... lonely human. But don't worry, you won't be alone anymore, because I, the great Peparis, will be your friend..."
At the end, his originally passionate tone suddenly weakened. Papyrus shook his head, feeling that it was wrong for him to have such disappointing thoughts.
"No, no, you're human. I must capture you. Then, I can realize my lifelong dream! Heroic! Famous! Majestic! You're the brightest new star of the Papyrus Royal Guard."
Papyrus encouraged himself and finally took action after hesitating. He kept repeating in his mind, "Sorry, sorry, sorry."
Fricks was dragged into the battle again. She was used to it and didn't even think there was anything wrong with it. Even if she was killed here by the other party, she would not have too much resentment. It was just a moment of support, and Fricks fell down again without any surprise.
She closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to come and death.
034 A huge figure in the darkness
"Let's split up. I'm worried about the ghost's safety. Are you okay on your own?"
Kong held the torch and forced himself to remain calm. The weak flame burned and licked the darkness around him, illuminating a small area of light as much as possible.
It has been a while since the ghost disappeared, but due to their lack of understanding of the rules, rash actions will only put them in danger and will not be of any help in rescue. But now they are searching everywhere with torches, but still have not seen any trace.
After asking for the other party's opinion and past understanding, he made this decision.
Wilson nodded. He had no objection. Both the ghost and Kong were there to help him. Although the ghost's disappearance was now a hindrance, it was not a reason for him to ignore the life and death of others.
Wilson had been in this world for quite some time. Thanks to his excellent memory, he could barely remember the general layout of the surrounding area. In addition, due to the pressure of food, he stumbled for miles and ran wildly along the coast with a torch.
Normally he would not dare to waste so much energy, but now it is really urgent, and since there may not be a shortage of food in the future, it can be considered a rare luxury in a wonderful sense.
Whenever he thought of this, he began to sigh. If he had known this would happen, why would he have started a famine? He would have probably turned it into a state of gluttony long ago.
But soon, his originally decadent face was filled with fear. He trembled almost uncontrollably and covered his mouth tightly, fearing that the sound of his chattering teeth would be heard. The torch in Wilson's hand also trembled and became weaker.
His whole body was so stiff that he didn't even have the courage to take a step. He even suppressed his breathing to the lowest point. The appearance of the huge monster in the distance was beyond his imagination. His vigilance against the darkness, which had been lowered due to many night walks, suddenly soared to the highest point at this moment, almost overwhelming his sanity.
What was even worse was that wherever he looked, it was suddenly covered with bloodshot. Even the areas illuminated by the firelight turned pale and eerie. His sanity value plummeted to the bottom.
His mind was wandering wildly on the borderline between sanity and madness.
Even though what he saw was only blurry, eight pale eyes were standing tall not far away. He saw that the behemoth seemed to be staring at him and slowly moved his sight. At the moment when the eyes were about to meet, he almost couldn't help falling to the ground, and raised the torch in front of himself in a daze, closing his eyes, as if giving up all hope, and waiting for death to come in a daze.
Fortunately nothing happened.
The sun rose slowly. After searching all night in vain, I returned to the camp dejectedly. I saw the ghost holding a glowing lantern, standing there obediently.
Thank goodness, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Kong's originally tense spirit immediately relaxed. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Just as he was about to ask the little knight if he was okay, he discovered something fatal.
Wilson, it seems, has also disappeared...
The relaxed smile that was gradually appearing on his face froze immediately. He was so mad that he messed up his hair. While it was still light outside, he ran away without stopping.
Look, it looks like a rabbit being chased by a hunter, panicked and lost.
Fortunately, this search did not take too long, and he soon saw the figure lying on the ground.
Wilson maintained that posture until the torch burned out, and still did not move. He vaguely maintained a trace of consciousness until he heard a familiar voice.
"Wilson, what happened over there? Are you okay? Wilson? Wilson!"
Survived? It seems that I am so useless that even monsters are unwilling to eat such a toxic substance as me... As his thoughts drifted away, his consciousness became more and more blurred.
Then, with Sora looking slightly confused and frightened, he lay down completely with a peaceful expression and fell into a blissful coma.
Kong looked at his companion falling down in a daze, and fell into deep thought. He carried the man on his back with difficulty, and stumbled back to the fire with him.
The little knight who was having fun at night was now wiping his bone nails. He soon noticed the arrival of the two people, paused for a moment, stopped what he was doing, and took out a sign.
What happened to him?
"Ah, ghost, I'm not sure either. You disappeared yesterday, and we went looking for you, and then he disappeared. I just ran to look for him, and when I found him, he looked like this. It seems I can only wait until he wakes up before asking him again."
As the last sentence fell, Kong inexplicably felt a little tired, which was something he had never experienced even when running around in Teyvat.
He put the man down, sat on the ground, and stared blankly. After a moment, he looked at the little knight with some admiration.
So this is the mission?
It seems that I am still too immature.
Kong looked up at the sky, and silently two crystal tears fell down his cheeks.
Okay, let's habitually shift our focus and focus on Fricks.
The imagined death did not come as expected. She was just knocked unconscious and properly placed. When Fricks realized this, she looked at the ceiling in a daze.
The feeling of collapse could no longer be suppressed. Even though she had experienced so many death along the way, she just climbed out tenaciously, like a person hanging on a cliff, desperately clinging to the crumbling rocks on the cliff, climbing up. Even though her fingers were stained with blood and her bones were exposed, she did not show any willingness to give up.
But now, faced with a rare moment of warmth, she could no longer hold it in. Tears flowed out from the gaps between her tightly clasped hands like a dam breaking. She fell to the ground and cried loudly, unable to control herself.
The fragile girl finally faced her first breakdown since she left home for so long.
Tao Hao cried until her throat became hoarse, and she couldn't help curling up on the ground and even retching.
