Volume 01: The Wolf Game Chapter 001: The Wolf Game
September 23, 2017
Jiangdong City, Huaguo.
The autumn wind is bleak, and the fallen leaves are yellow.
The wind blew through the calm lake, bringing ripples, and a few crows landed on the dead trees by the lake, staring at Zheng Youqian with curious eyes.
At this time, Zheng Youqian was taking a walk while humming a Japanese comic theme song from Katsuo Ohno.
Crow Armor: "Why don't you sing such an unlucky song?" Gah-"
Raven B: "Oh, it's over. Gah-"
Crow C: "Coo-goo-"
The crows "quacked", Zheng Youqian did not hear their calls, and even if he did, he did not understand the "language" of the crows.
Suddenly, the crows scattered and fled, and as if frightened, they fluttered their wings and flew into the sky.
A strong and powerful hand hugged Zheng Youqian from behind, and he subconsciously wanted to struggle, but in the afterglow, he caught a glimpse of a dagger shining with cold light against his neck.
He was held hostage and turned around slowly, and a dozen meters away behind him stood a female policeman with outstanding appearance and a slender figure, and her face was full of worry and self-blame.
The person who held Zheng Youqian hostage said: "If you dare to take another step forward, Lao Tzu will stab him to death!" ”
The voice of the speaker was a young man in his early twenties, who was holding Zheng Youqian back and constantly threatening the policewoman.
Seeing that the man was about to exit the street and successfully escape from under the nose of the policewoman, an accident happened.
The man seemed to have been mixed with something, and he fell backwards with Zheng Youqian, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.
But in addition to feeling his body falling backwards, he also felt a flood of sleepiness. He tried to open his eyes, but found that he couldn't. Eventually, his strong consciousness collapsed, and he fell into a deep sleep.
……
Zheng Youqian didn't know how long he had been asleep, and when he woke up, he found himself lying in a dimly lit and cramped room.
Beneath him was a dilapidated wooden bed, and when he moved his body slightly, he made a "creaking" sound.
Before he could figure out what was happening, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded, and it seemed to carry no emotion.
"The fusion of the infinite traversal system has been successful."
Zheng Youqian sat up abruptly, he looked around in horror, but he didn't find anyone else in the cramped room.
A wooden bed and a wooden table were squeezed into the cramped room, and there were no windows, only palm-sized vents on the walls.
No sunlight was streaming in from the vents, and it seemed to be night. A dim incandescent lamp hung from the ceiling, and the faint glow did not dilute the darkness of the room.
"Task load complete
Main quest
1) Get the win in the wolf game
Side quests
2) Pick a real wolf once during court time
3) Become a wolf once and kill a player. ”
Zheng Youqian clearly heard the voice this time not coming from a certain direction, but directly in his mind. He was taken aback by his own thoughts.
"You're in my head?" He asked, horrified.
Zheng Youqian is not unfamiliar with words such as "infinite", "traversal" and "system", after all, these words often appear in online articles. But knowing and experiencing it are two different concepts entirely.
"Huh~ You murder me." The voice came to his head again.
He felt a soothing electric current flow through his head, which was not only very comfortable, but also calmed his agitated emotions quickly.
"Where is this?" He was silent for a long time before he slowly asked.
"This is Mission World." The system quickly came up with an answer in his head, as if it didn't have to think at all, or it didn't know how to think.
"What do I need to do?"
"You need to complete the tasks on the task list, where the main quest you must complete and the side quest can be completed selectively."
"Is there a reward for completing the mission?"
"After you complete the task, the system will give you a certain reward based on your completion of the task, including but not limited to points, gift packs, abilities, skills, etc."
"Will I go back to my original world when I complete the mission?"
"Once you complete the main quest, you can choose to return to the real world, you have 24 hours of time, and after 24 hours, you will be forced to return."
"Is the original world the same as the time of this world?"
"The time ratio between the mission world and the real world is 24:1, which means that for every day that passes in the mission world, an hour passes in the real world."
Although Zheng Youqian still has a lot of questions, he still plans to digest them first and not continue to ask.
He was silent for a moment before asking, "What should I do next?" ”
The system's voice sounded in my head again: "Please leave the room and go to the conference hall on the first floor." ”
It's hard to put into words this peculiar, communicative way of communicating with the system, somewhat similar to auditory hallucinations or another consciousness, but different.
He sighed, instead of dwelling on these meaningless things here, it was better to go with the flow and take one step at a time.
Maybe it's all a ridiculous dream?
Of course, this is just a kind of self-comfort, after all, everything here is so real, touch, smell, hearing, pain, etc., all tell him that this is not a dream.
Zheng Youqian got out of bed, and he walked to the wooden door in two steps. The wooden door was rudimentary and unsturdy, and it seemed to fall apart with a little effort.
There was no lock on the door, and he pushed it open and walked up the stairs to the conference hall on the first floor.
Twelve chairs were placed at a log table in the conference hall, eleven of which were already occupied, and one chair that was empty, as if prepared for himself.
Everyone at the round table heard the footsteps and looked back, and Zheng Youqian's eyes also fell on everyone.
One of the good-looking, slender women caught his eye, the woman was wearing a police uniform, and it was the policewoman he had seen before.
Zheng Youqian was just about to say something, when an abrupt voice suddenly sounded.
"Please take your seat as soon as possible."
The sound seemed to come from the mouths of the two rag dolls on the round table, who were standing on the round table at this time, staring at Zheng Youqian with their button-sewn eyes.
Zheng Youqian sat down on the spare chair with some hesitation, and the back of the chair was written with Arabic numerals - "12" in bright red liquid.
Seeing Zheng Youqian sitting down, a sheep-shaped rag doll said: "Introduce yourself, my name is Messi, congratulations on your luck to become a player in this wolf game." ”
The wolf-shaped ragdoll continued, "My name is Wilf, and we are the organizer and judge of this game. ”
Zheng Youqian yelled at Messi and Wilf: "What do you want to do? ”
The reason why he reacted so much was because he thought that if he behaved too calmly, he would inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.
Others behaved the same as him, some questioned loudly, and some even scolded directly.
"Ahhh
The questioning and invective did not last long before they came to an abrupt end, and in their place were the painful wails of the crowd.
They felt a huge electric current coming from their necks, accompanied by a heart-rending pain.
They don't know how long the pain lasts, they just feel like it's been a lifetime. When the pain subsided, they were lying on the table like dead dogs.
Wilf's voice rang out: "Please be quiet. ”
……
Messi and Wilf introduced the rules of the game in detail to everyone.
After they introduced the rules of the game, they asked everyone to enter the card drawing room in turn, and Zheng Youqian was the number 12, so he was the last in line.
Zheng Youqian carefully observed everyone who came out of the card drawing room, trying to find some flaws in them. But because everyone has two minutes to draw cards, this time is enough time for most people to sort out their moods.
He was the last to walk into the gacha room, which contained a wooden table and a chair with a wolf-headed alarm clock and a card.
The back of the card is printed with a strange and eerie pattern, which looks like some ancient symbol and seems to have a breathtaking ability.
Zheng Youqian slowly opened the card on the table with a heavy heart, and a sheep's head was printed on the front of the card, which showed a weird smile and stared at Zheng Youqian.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he wasn't a wolf. If he was a wolf, he couldn't be sure if he would dare to kill.
This game has two types of cards: sheep cards and wolf cards. The player who draws the wolf card must kill one player and find a way to blame the other players.
The game is divided into five phases: gacha time, preparation time, night time, day time, and trial time.
Wolves need to kill only in the dark of night, and if they fail to kill, the wolf will be executed. If the wolf succeeds in killing someone, you'll need to find a way to blame the other players during trial time to make sure you don't get executed.
The wolf-headed electronic clock on the table was ticking and ticking, and the bright red numbers on it were getting smaller and smaller. It wasn't until finally all the numbers had turned to zero that Wilf's voice came from the electronic clock.
"Your gacha time is over, please leave the gacha room as soon as possible."
Zheng Youqian tried his best to calm himself down, and he pushed open the heavy iron door of the card drawing room, and his mood was as heavy as this iron door.
All eyes were on him, and he tried to be as calm as possible, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.
"The gacha time is over, and now it's time to prepare."
Messi said calmly.
With that, it and Wilf fell like puppets that had suddenly lost their traction.
There was a long silence in the room, and it was a long time before anyone spoke.
"I think we should introduce ourselves first. My name is Xu Haoren and I am a freelancer. ”
It was a man of ordinary appearance who was extremely strong. Zheng Youqian looked at the man in surprise, he was very unfamiliar with the man's appearance, but he couldn't forget the voice no matter what.
