159 The Variety of Worlds(3)
The ghouls surged and swooped down on the Black Tulip Brigade's defenses, but in the face of the prepared warriors, there was no pressure at all on this level of ghoul swarm.
During this period of time, the main members of the Black Tulip Brigade experienced a bitter battle that was much more intense than this, and now they are finally seeing the effect.
They can even chat leisurely during the battle.
"The ghouls that the Warlords have turned into are more powerful than those in the Castle."
"The bones are harder, the skin is thicker, but it's useless."
"That's Klein from the Leyden Brigade on the other side, right? I've had drinks with him. Someone suddenly pointed to the group of ghouls.
"Shit, it's really him. Was this guy bitten to death? ”
"It doesn't seem like it, this guy ran away on his own." After a closer look, he replied in the negative.
Obviously, the ghouls who originally belonged to Crane's body transformation did not have any wounds on their bodies, and even the armor and weapons were intact - the weapons were not unsheathed, so they could only give up the battle themselves.
"I thought this guy was a good man, but I didn't expect him to be a fool."
"Guys, don't you feel scared?" A trainee beside them, who had just arrived in Cologneburg, asked tremblingly.
"What is this little scene, we have even fought super-level people, the ghouls are just a large number, don't be afraid, just follow our pace." Naturally, he was one of the main players who had participated in the Castle Expedition, and he cheered up his trainees who had never seen the world.
"Yes...... But...... It's different, these ghouls ......."
"What difference can ghouls make, the long sword blessed by holy water will explode in the head as soon as it passes over." The main players are somewhat dismissive.
"It's not...... They're gamers! Players just like us! I know a lot of people, don't you feel scared to see them turn into ghouls? ”
"yes, if it's an aboriginal ghoul I don't have a problem, but...... These are all players......"
"They used to be like us, but now they're like this......"
The ordinary players on the front line talked a lot, and they looked a little scared. They are not afraid of each other's combat power, but they are afraid that they may become the appearance of the other party.
Regardless, the body in the game is so similar to the real world that it can be chilling to imagine your face twisted into that way.
"Deputy Commander, do you want me to press them?" One of the captains asked Bernard.
Bernard shook his head, "Forget it, their strings have broken very tightly, trust the main players!" They'll set an example. ”
After a while, he added, "It seems that we are underestimating the impact of the uncanny valley effect. ”
The so-called uncanny valley effect refers to the fact that when human beings face faces faces similar to themselves, there will be two points with the highest favorability, which are about 95% (anthropomorphic images, paper people, etc.) and 100% (real people), but there is a specific similarity between them, and when approaching this similarity, human beings will have serious physiological aversion, and the favorability will be negative, and this negative area is the uncanny valley.
When faced with the corpses of the aborigines transformed into ghouls, there may be a system to help correct them, or the player may clearly realize that the other party is a completely different existence from themselves, so the fear is not so obvious. But when the player's corpse no longer disappears, but is transformed into a ghoul, the player will substitute himself into the opponent's encounter, and the body with the same face as himself is transformed into that ugly and disgusting appearance, and it is not controlled by himself, and this favorability instantly falls below the bottom line of most people's psychological tolerance.
For the main players, this level of disgust is far from the level that makes them collapse, but for ordinary players and trainees, it is already a big burden.
"I can only trust myself...... However, it is also important to note that if a player crashes, kill them immediately. That's all Bernard can say.
"Deputy Commander! The line of defense of the bouquet brigade collapsed! There were too many of their trainees, and many of them suddenly collapsed and were forced to log out, and the bouquet brigade was lost on their backs! "Suddenly, a scout reported to Bernard.
Bernard hurriedly had him helped him to a high place to observe, only to see that the ghouls of the black and dark had poured into the station of the Bouquet Brigade, and most of the players were killed on the spot except for a few main forces who escaped.
Looking at this scene, Bernard's face became ugly.
"Have you contacted the head of the regiment?" Bernard asked.
"Several scouts have gone out, and no one has come back yet......"
Without the short message function, everyone has become blind and deaf, and can only rely on primitive manpower to deliver messages. The Black Tulip Brigade, which was divided, is now in a very awkward situation.
"If only I could send text messages......," someone muttered.
"It's not nonsense." The person next to him rolled his eyes, "If the system hadn't been offline, let alone participating in the battlefield against demons, at least this kind of player pit wouldn't have happened - the most annoying thing is that you can't scold these people." ”
"That is, they themselves are fleeing from the sea of suffering, and others will have to bear the consequences of what they have done, even if they are investigated, they will be done with a fluttering sentence: 'It's not a body under my control'."
"Why do you have to do such things that harm others and yourself?" Someone can't figure it out.
"If everyone does not do things that harm others and themselves, then the world will always be peaceful!" Bernard said, "Human beings are such creatures, for the sake of temporary peace of mind, don't say that it is not good for oneself to harm others, but also to do things that harm others and oneself." ”
While everyone was chatting, there was a muffled thunder in the distance, followed by a faint howl of excitement. The players looked up in the direction of the lower city, and although they couldn't see the situation of the lower city from here, they all had a bad premonition in their hearts.
"Deputy Commander! The walls have been breached! The Abyss Demon has rushed into the lower city! The Legion of the Guardians of the Walls has been wiped out! "Soon the scouts who had been watching from outside came back to deliver the news.
The Lower City is over.
This was something that everyone expected, but when the news of the city wall was breached, everyone's mood was low. Instead of thinking it was the beginning of a big plot and excited, now they only think about how to survive this catastrophe.
The time that the legions of the guards of the city walls had fought for was not enough to allow all the citizens of the lower city to enter the sanctuary, and there were still a large number of civilians, guards, knights, and even warriors in the lower city.
The abyssal armies had destroyed the walls and poured into the lower city, and the human houses and roads meant nothing to them, relying on the gigantic monsters and demons to smash all the buildings into ruins, spitting black mist and flames from their mouths and noses, looking for the survivors who remained.
