In the game square of the virtual community, before the gate was teleported, Fang Liang informed the others of the news.

Cao Zhengfei was not very surprised: "It seems that the official is still a little ambitious, although the game framework that I started to make is a bit broken, and the kernel copy of the subconscious cognition is okay, but they are making rapid progress." ”

Li Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Of course, what age is this, the mode of going straight in and out and only arranging copies is too simple, which is not conducive to the player group gathering to discuss and communicate, and at least you have to have your own plate." ”

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lu Ming pinched Fang Liang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Fang Liang, we are currently the only one on our side whose curse is activated, that is, only you have superpowers, and it will all depend on you to enter the dungeon in a while." ”

Fang Liang immediately corrected Lu Ming's train of thought: "Don't be like this, many curses don't kill much at first, the player's starting location is not a mortal scene, but a kind of safety zone in a relative sense, there is no point in panicking." ”

"Curses are such a thing, it should be better to use them as much as possible, although only curses can fight curses, but relying too much on it can be problematic. If there is an almost inescapable cycle of death in my body, then I am afraid that I will have to cancel the game qualification first, and then buy the game again and create an account from scratch. ”

"The refund policy is time-limited, and it will be invalid if it exceeds a certain time ratio, not to mention that the black box operation space triggered by the activation of the curse is too large, and there are many holes in this game."

"That's right."

Lu Ming nodded, like the others, the handful of hair in his hand had disappeared when he left the dungeon.

The curse itself is intangible, and those tea bags, hair, and brown clay should be the props that represent the curse.

It's not about the player tucking these things into their belts and then performing the transformation of the foul-mouthed heroes.

[System]: Coming to "Xenoreality", please prepare yourself mentally for C-level investigators, you are about to enter a cursed cognitive world, and the challenge is about to begin!

"That's pretty much it, but what about C-Class investigators?"

The system still didn't pay attention to Lu Ming, the door of time and space opened, and Fang Liang's consciousness quickly fell into a spiritual void.

Confusion, distortion, struggle.

In a blur, Fang Liang gradually regained a little vision, he subconsciously looked down, and found that there was a broken red wool tied to his left wrist, which was struggling to extend towards the other wrist.

Fang Liang indulged this inconspicuous line, and it quickly became a red handcuff made of a single thread of wool.

As long as he used a little force, this pair of handcuffs seemed to break, but for no reason, Fang Liang was reluctant to do so.

With his wrists wrapped in silk, Fang Liang put his hands into his sleeves, and an inexplicable peace of mind rose, and the surroundings returned to darkness.

[System]: Entering the "ID:Forest Bootstrap Prologue......

[Hint: This game is challenging and unmerciful, if you feel seriously unwell at the end of the bootstagger, please choose to forfeit the dungeon immediately (this will end the winning streak and be considered a forsaking, but abandonment is not the same as a failure)]

[Current Status: Survive*1, Defeat*0, Give Up*0, Streak Multiplier*1]

If you choose to continue, be patient, focused, and in awe. 】

The body gradually felt the temperature, and the surroundings gradually turned into a gloomy and vague dream.

Fang Liang was in an old wooden house with a lead gray color, he seemed to hear a man whispering, but when he looked up, he saw more strange and distorted images through the rickety figure in front of the window.

At this point, the player is speechless and unable to make a sound, and party mode is turned off, and faces full of resentment, pain, and fear continue to shape in the lead-gray mist, and then distort and dissipate.

Some heavy, eerie background tone, coiled around the beams, and the old lead-gray rope was like a strange worm that came to life, as if it was gently calling for people to use it to end their lives.

"I see the curse in their eyes......"

The rickety man in front of the window choked hoarsely, and illusory figures approached the window.

"They think I did it......"

"Everybody's scolding me, everybody's accusing me of ......"

"It's as if I'm the source of this endless nightmare, and I'm the one responsible for all this."

"I have nowhere to hide, no way to escape, they are everywhere, all roads are cut off by the forest."

The rickety man gradually turned around, his lead-gray wrinkled face distorted and collapsed, and the dim glimmer of the window suddenly became extremely bright and dazzling, Fang Liang couldn't help but raise his arm, trying his best to block this strange glare that was almost blinding.

"No one can escape the curse......"

Fang Liang heard the rickety man whispering in his ear, the voice was cold and eerie but very dry, like a hand gradually reaching into a pile of ashes that had already cooled, touching the broken, soft and greasy death.

Fang Liang opened his eyes, and the lead-gray scene disappeared, replaced by a brightly lit studio.

Blurred damp paper was scattered on the floor, the air was moldy and oppressive, the table was full of bottles and cans, and a tired man in a white coat with an empty bottle in his hand was prostrate on the table and napping.

When you get closer, the smell is familiar and unfamiliar, and long-term alcoholics always have this persistent stench.

Fang Liang looked at the window and found that it was almost sealed with planks and nails, and through the gaps, he could see the secluded forest.

The rectangular room, which is less than 16 square meters, is littered with onions, potatoes and pumpkins, and some small creatures that don't know whether they are cockroaches or beetles crawl on the ground, and some insects crawl into wine bottles and drown in their dreams.

Fang Liang crouched down and picked up an empty white plastic medicine bottle, trying to identify the orange label.

At this moment, Fang Liang heard the voice of this drunken man in a white coat.

"This is my own sleep and sedative medicine, I don't dare to fall asleep, but I can't stop sleeping."

Fang Liang's expression moved slightly, he had already experienced a copy of his subconscious cognition, and he didn't make a fuss about it.

The next moment, the drunken man seemed to gradually come to his senses, and he covered his head and shook it gently.

Fang Liang put back the empty medicine bottle and noticed that there were still many open capsule membranes on the ground, they were of different colors, like a group of colorful and hollow beetles, and the medicine particles inside were gone.

"I tried to treat the cursed patient, obviously I failed, but I wanted to keep all the sedatives to myself."

The man in the white coat stood up and looked around the room blankly.

Fang Liang touched the wooden board that sealed the window, and the man in the white coat couldn't see Fang Liang, but his pupils shrank significantly.

Like a thief, the man in the white coat walked gently to the window and tossed the planks to make sure they were in a stable state.

"The forest wants to kill me, the cabin wants to protect me, the trees trap me, they are everywhere. I don't know if there's a balance between the two of the same origin, but tearing it down now would be tantamount to suicide, and I'd better not do it. ”

In the prologue of the guide, Fang Liang seemed to have the ability to read minds, the lips and Adam's apple of the man in the white coat obviously did not move, but the voice and cognition could be automatically triggered with Fang Liang's investigation actions.

Fang Liang touched the wine bottles, and he heard the laughter of the man in the white coat.

"Just drinking more can make me forget reality for a while, or when I have a nervous breakdown, strike a match to end everything."

Fang Liang picked up a piece of potato, and the man in the white coat stood at the door, glancing back at the grain.

"Onions, potatoes, pumpkins, harvested before the curse erupted, the few edible plants in this endless forest. Now I don't have much food left, I don't know what to do, it's everywhere. ”

The man in the white coat opened the door and left, followed by Fang Liang's invisible figure.

Turning around and locking it, the door faded into a cold, rough wooden wall.

The man in the white coat didn't react to this, he stood in the doorway, looking at the blood stains on the carpet and wooden floor, even if Fang Liang didn't take the initiative to touch these, his consciousness began to actively trigger these scene anomalies.

"Healing requires knowledge, and knowledge will be gained through dissection and learning, and I have not caught anything valuable, like a disoriented elk, no one has reached out to me, but they are everywhere."

Fang Liang touched the rusted tool sets that were inserted in the cloth, and the man in the white coat turned his head and tidied up.

"My medical kit is starting to rust, and I don't wipe them down like I used to. The patients have long since run out of cure, and they can't even recognize how many fingers I have, and no one will tell me. ”

The man in the white coat rolled up the tool set and the fabric and stuffed it into the drawer.

Fang Liang crouched down and carefully observed the spectacular coral reef-like wax tears near the walls of the house.

The man in the white coat took out a shovel and shoveled up the wax tears and unburned candles on the ground and put them away.

"Candles, the flame of life must be kept lit in the event of an unexpected power outage, I should recycle these candles and wax tears, where resources are scarce, and they can be made into complete candles again by replacing them with a cotton core."

The man in the white coat began to walk, and Fang Liang was like an invisible thief, stealing the other party's consciousness and cognition.

Now that he had mastered the trigger rules, Fang Liang began to investigate everything according to his habits.

Soon, Fang Liang entered the other room and found a radio near the floor.

"My radio, it broke before the curse broke out, but on some of the last hard nights, I seem to be able to hear the woman's call from inside. I'm not sure if the radio is catching some particular electromagnetic band, or if I'm hallucinating from a long period of medication, because they're everywhere after all. ”

The speed of the man in the white coat's initiative accelerated synchronously with Fang Liang's exploration process.

"I remember I put the keys in the closet, I had to go out and look for it before the generator ran out of fuel, I didn't have the ability to make generator fuel, it was only a matter of time before I ran out of all resources and got stuck here."

When Fang Liang explored the room area and noticed that the man in the white coat was carrying a satchel and was about to go out, the man in the white coat stood at the door and turned his head to lock his eyebrows, staring deeply at the two locked rooms.

"One of the locked doors leads to my dissection room, the patient's rotten and uncontrollable vitality is unusually tenacious, and must be dealt with by complete bloodletting, I'm not sure if the patient is dead, I'd better not go in now."

"Another locked door leads to my kitchen and bathroom, and it took me a moment to convert it into a completely nailed room, so that as long as they can't break through the iron door, I'll be able to get safe for the time being."

"It took me a lot of effort to lure the patient behind the iron gate, I remember his beastly struggle and restlessness, and keeping the patient in the dark and hungry for a while would make them less aggressive, and I had better not go in now."

The man in the white coat took the necessary luggage, turned around and walked out with the door.

"The trees are growing so fast that the living and the wild are feeding them, and luckily the road to the north is not blocked, and I remember that there is an uninhabited house over there, and maybe I should try my luck there. I had to go back to the shelter every night before night fell because they were everywhere. ”

To Fang Liang's surprise, it was surrounded by some trees that had fallen into a twisted and deformed shape due to overgrowth.

The forests that shaded the sky were like endless mudslides, swarming over the houses and fences, blocking all paths, leaving only a few gaps in the canopy for sunlight to shine through.

Fang Liang followed briskly, the clumps of trees crushing the rocks, squeezing the road narrower and narrower.

As if walking sideways through a crack in the rock, Fang Liang and the man in the white coat were affected in their movement speed, and as long as they passed through this rocky area, they could see a burned house and some corpses bound by roots.

"The flames have an effect on the trees, but the nutrients in the ashes will grow more, just as ubiquitous as they are."

The man in the white coat walked silently through the house, through the forest through the cracks created by the fire, the aroma of these charcoal burns was unusually tempting, Fang Liang couldn't help but swallow his saliva, driving the strange thoughts out of his mind.

Passing through here, the surface begins to become more humid and muddy, and more and more puddles of water indicate that the area is close to the shores of a swampy lake. Fortunately, there are not many trees here, and not all tree species can adapt to the suffocation caused by the soaking of the root system by the current, and those that are unable to develop aerial roots have slowed down their aggression near the water.

Suddenly, Fang Liang saw a stranded boat on the water, and a strange cold took over his heart.

The man in the white coat also noticed the small wooden boat, and also noticed the people on it, and his speed suddenly increased, like a white phantom, and the speed exploded in a cold sweat.

And Fang Liang ran hard and followed, only to find that the one lying on his stomach near the stranded boat was Lu Ming, Li Xiaoyu, Cao Zhengfei and the four of himself!

"Who are they? I've never seen them, regardless of skin color or countenance, but I'm sure they've come in from the outside. If they knew how to slip in, they must know how to get out, but they wouldn't have told me easily, for I was trapped here, and I was more or less affected by the curse. ”

"It's not a big deal, though, I'm best at dealing with these sneaky rats......"

“…… Maybe I should wake him up. ”

The man in the white coat took out a syringe and slammed it towards Fang Liang on the ground.
