Chapter 77: Confrontation with the Black Ghost
In the dream world, the player "Raindrop" is wearing a mage robe without any attributes, with the light of the scorching sun on his head, and his cold face is covered with fine sweat.
"Is this sun nailed there forever?" Raindrop glances up at the sun in the sky.
No matter how many times you dream, the sun will always hang in the sky, releasing light and heat.
After a long period of time, it will be very hot on the ground.
Looking back behind him, the ground was far away from him, at least more than forty meters away.
Next to the mage player, Reinhardt was shirtless and sweating like rain, and with a wave of his hand, he waved a patch of rain.
"It's terrible to be here, it's too hot."
The heavy armor on his body had long been thrown to the ground by him, and he didn't have the slightest idea of wearing it.
At first, the dream world wasn't that hot, but as the sun deepened, the land became hotter and hotter.
Hart reached for the steel block towards the heavy armor, then placed it on a high ground.
The place they were in was a black spiral building, organized by a group of curious enthusiasts.
They don't think that nightmares are a bad thing, but rather that they think it's a good thing.
There was once a terrifying being passing by in the sky, and although they couldn't witness it with their own eyes, they became curious about the sky, so they wanted to stack a tower of Babel that reached into the sky through the ability they built.
In order to complete this project, a small group of players gathered here to build the base of the tower.
There are some people who are in charge of logistics, they need to drink, eat, lazar, etc.
If you don't take care of yourself, you are very likely to get sick and die and be reborn in a certain area on land, and it is too much time to rush over, and the first person who died suddenly has not rushed over until now, and has been on the road, so the importance of logistics is self-evident.
In the distance, the thin-faced boy "Northern Thorn" also reached out and grabbed the steel stone from Hart's armor, and then pressed the gap to fill the upper block.
"It would be nice if there were other professions in this world, but being a construction worker is really boring." "Northern Thorn" muttered dissatisfiedly, he was too hot to be hot, and after finishing the block, he immediately ran down and got into the inner room to cool off.
"Northern Thorn" is a player who is attracted to the sky, and he also wants to take to the skies and see what's in the sky.
Whether the sun is fixed above the clouds, whether there is another starry sky above the clouds, who is the terrifying existence that passes by, where is it, everyone wants to know the secrets of the sky.
Curiosity is what drives them forward.
……
Game world, seaside newbie village.
Since the eight players were mentally abnormal, the players in the novice village have avoided the black ghosts for fear of being bewitched.
The player "Unspeakable" is not afraid of things and walks specifically against the black ghost.
He is a senior researcher at the General Research Institute, a researcher in the Department of Archaeology, and has a strong interest in myths and legends.
In Unspeakable's view, the Black Ghost is not an NPC, but a living being.
"Hello, I want to believe in Cthulhu, can you teach me?"
Night shrouded the novice village, the street lamps on the boulevard flickered, and a ghost with a hollow cloak floated on a tree, full of decay and gloom.
Unspeakable stands under a tree, and fellow researchers 100 meters behind him are ready to quit the game at any moment, and then physically disconnect Unspeakable's internet connection.
The black ghost leaned over and looked at the swordsman player below him, and let out a weird scream from his mouth: "You, are you sure?" ”
"Unspeakable" came from a screaming sound in his head, as if his brain was about to crack, and it was very uncomfortable.
But he got through it, his heart pounding, and a task box popped up in front of him.
“「???」 I sent you the quest "Faith in Cthulhu", do you accept it? ”
He took a deep breath and said, "I'm sure! ”
While accepting the task, he also clicked on the personal information of the black ghost.
"Name: ???"
"Level: ???"
"Health: ???"
[Mana: ???]
……
Information such as name, level, health, mana, attack, physical defense, and magic resistance all appear in the form of three question marks.
According to his game's understanding, there are several possibilities for this to happen.
One is that his level is too low, and he is not qualified to see the value of the black ghost at all.
The second case is when certain conditions are required to see the other person's value.
"Pledge your allegiance to Cthulhu, find me the eight human believers, and show me what you are capable of." The black ghost screamed, releasing a different mission than before.
The previous task was for them to listen to the whispers of the Black Ghosts, and listen to them tell the story of that ancient and hidden history of Cthulhu. In the process of listening, one will gradually begin to believe in Cthulhu, and those contents are difficult to dictate in words, because they are not the official language of Orange Star, nor are they known, but they can only be understood and difficult to convey.
Some people can often keep their inner rationality because they don't believe in God in their hearts, or because they already have faith in their hearts.
But today the Black Ghost didn't do that, and instead told him to find out the eight players who were not in normal form before.
Every time the black ghost speaks, it makes the player miserable.
His consciousness became heavy, and his brain seemed to explode, and eight faces appeared.
It was eight red-eyed, crazy expressions, and facial expressions that had been distorted.
The eight faces were none other than his colleagues, who were assessed as insane and not allowed to enter the game's adventures.
"Have I become like that?" The archaeological researcher was suddenly a little scared that he would become like that.
Before he had time to think about it, his brain ached, and negative emotions guided him, telling him that he had to find those eight human believers.
The next second.
"Your internet connection has been interrupted and you are currently exiting the game, please ...... later"
A line of subtitles appeared in front of me, and the scene around me quickly dissolved, and consciousness turned heavy and quickly clear.
But the fear brought by the black ghost still did not disappear, the hands and feet were cold, and the heart was beating at an extremely high frequency.
He opened his eyes and watched as the game pod slowly opened, and a group of colleagues rushed over.
"It's okay."
"I called you in the game, and you didn't respond, so I hurried out and forced you back, are you okay?"
Seeing a group of colleagues worried about him, the feeling of cold hands and feet was gradually replaced by the warmth of his heart, "It's okay, I'm fine." ”
"It's fine, but I'll have to go to the psychiatrist for a check-up, just in case."
"Okay, I see."
"Unspeakable" nodded and stepped out of the game pod.
Everyone looked at his steady steps, clear eyes, and calm expression, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It shouldn't be a big deal.
