Just because the bootstrap time isn't over doesn't mean the investigation can't start now.

The difficulty coefficient of the nightmare dungeon is high, and if you can't quickly grasp the curse law, matching this kind of dungeon is almost a waste of time.

After all, compared to physical monsters, nightmare curses are more unreasonable to kill, and once they fall asleep, they must be passively beaten.

"Xenoreality Reality" has been on the server for more than a day, and many players are slowly groping their way on.

No, just as Fang Liang and the others were about to assign the direction of the investigation, those players hurriedly scattered.

Some people walked to the cafeteria window, and others walked to the stairs and elevators of the apartment.

They all want to seize the 1,800 seconds and investigate as much as possible in a safe time, so that the odds are greater.

“…… It's best not to take other players for fools, exciting, fun and profitable games, which are rare these days. ”

Fang Liang picked up the plate and walked to the cafeteria window, observing the behavior and movements of other players by the way.

Organized on the basis of four players per team, during Fang Liang's observation, there were two teams of strange players, which attracted his attention.

The faces of the players on the two teams were slightly solemn, and the members of the team did not communicate with each other much, and the suspicion on their faces was more obvious.

Judging from their slightly nervous body movements, it is possible that they are scattered players who have been teamed up by the system and have a certain need for customs clearance dungeons, rather than a fixed team of four people like Fang Liang who know each other.

There are suspected curses among those players, which causes them to look at others with a somewhat competitive meaning.

However, most players are nervous, and most of them are looking for teams during the exchange.

Other players, like those who simply enjoy a thriller dungeon, can't hide the panic and nervousness on their faces, but their eyes are flashing with excitement and antiquity. looks like a thriller queen's set, which makes people feel that they will be easier to hang up.

Fang Liang remembered that an unknown author once said: Human beings like horror movies, thrillers, and tragic comedies, and the core reason is to brew emotions, process emotions, and control emotions.

A good writer should be like a chef who cooks emotions, only by mastering various elements and heat, and serving food at the most appropriate time when the emotions are brewing, can consumers experience the feeling of surprise and joy.

Those men and women who are frightened in the plot will secrete hormones such as adrenaline and dopamine because of fear on the one hand, and on the other hand, they will be attracted by the charm of the characters to overcome their fears, and have a deeper sense of substitution.

As long as the fear can be excitedly transferred, and the player can be stopped at any time without hurting the player, the human brain can reap happiness from it, which can be regarded as a primitive and enduring form of entertainment.

Except for those who have a more obvious sense of competition, most players are more easy-going and communicative.

In other words, the empathy caused by fear invisibly shortens the sense of distance between strangers.

"Let's go our separate ways as planned, and since we have decided to continue the challenge, we can't waste time."

Fang Liang took the plate and came to the window of the cafeteria alone, recording the map of the Soft Wind Apartment, and observing the dishes in the canteen on the ground floor.

The menu in the window can be said to be quite complete, from chicken, duck and fish to soy milk noodles.

The ventilation and sanitation conditions near the window are relatively good, and the price is quite cheap.

Fang Liang casually took out the life card assigned by the system, and cut a bun with a knife and fork, he found that the bun was big and thin-skinned, although it was a meat filling, but there was not much oil and water.

After checking a few more dishes, Fang Liang found that most of the meals here were light in taste, and there were almost no heavy oil and salt styles.

There is basically no oil stains or flies, no processing of ingredients, all food is served by special staff from the inaccessible back kitchen, and even the trash cans are covered with a new layer of sterilized plastic.

Fang Liang looked around, pretended to pick a meal, and said in the team's voice: "This canteen is a little too clean, not like the residents' canteen on the ground floor of the apartment building, and the hygiene standard is very similar to the hospital canteen. ”

After the experience of two dungeons, Li Xiaoyu also learned a lot, and he immediately spoke up to participate in the discussion: "It may be that it is affected by the cognition of the cursed, he thinks that this place is like living in a hospital, which makes the apartment canteen a little strange." ”

Fang Liang said: "I don't rule out this possibility, but the information given in the prologue this time is very small, do you have any ideas?" ”

Lu Ming said in his voice: "I tried it just now, although I can see the road, vehicles and pedestrians outside, the player can't leave the apartment from the main entrance, and when you walk to the door, an air wall will appear." ”

"If you insist on leaving the apartment through the air wall, the system will show you the option to abandon the challenge, how about you guys?"

Cao Zhengfei walked to the vending machine, carrying two large plastic bags, swiping his card alone to buy snacks, bottles of carbonated drinks, puffed potato chips, and dried fruits fell into the bags, attracting the attention of many players

Cao Zhengfei said lazily: "Yo, it seems that you are all quite motivated, and I will also tell you what I found." ”

"First of all, the cafeteria is on the first floor, but our room is on the fourth floor."

"The system assigns everyone a life card for the apartment, as well as the key to the apartment room, although the team voice setting is temporarily retained, but everyone is assigned a separate room, and after a while, the dungeon challenge begins, and there is definitely no way to communicate with voice at any time."

"It's unclear what the system is doing this for, or what happens if players don't get back to their apartments on time when night falls."

Fang Liang took over and said: "The protagonist of the guide prologue mentioned his major of study and going out to work, but the player can't leave the apartment to investigate the place of work. ”

"In other words, it is possible that the protagonist of the script quit his job and returned to his home to take refuge after triggering the curse's killing pattern, but he didn't expect the nightmare type curse to catch up with him and kill him at home."

"The hero lives in this apartment building with his parents, and the dungeon prompt is [ID:Touch], which is the so-called touching, but the hero did not die at the same time as being touched, but was squeezed out of bed in fear, and finally received a fatal attack."

Li Xiaoyu added: "In other words, it is possible that you will not die simply by being touched by the curse. ”

"But if you are squeezed out of bed by the curse, and then you open your eyes and see the avatar or body of the curse, you will be killed instantly."

Fang Liang said: "You can't get out of bed, you can't open your eyes, maybe this is part of the law of curses." ”

"However, the protagonist mentions that he is not the only victim."

"A total of 8 people, 3 died, and the protagonist is 4 people."

"There are still 4 people alive, but we don't know for the time being, whether these 4 places are hinting at the team of the benchmark player, and we don't know what the message from the protagonist's mobile phone is."

"I'm afraid it will cost us our lives to test the law of the curse, maybe we need to find some clues before we start reasoning."
