Chapter 3 is called the Silent One
Yunmo woke up, not in the sense of reality, but similar to the feeling of diving up from a lake and suddenly seeing the light from a depressing haze, as if he was in another world, and like being reborn. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The feeling of closed depression rushed to Yunmo's face, he felt that he was lying in a dark and damp place, wearing water-soaked clothes, the clothes were tightly attached to his body, making people feel very uncomfortable, Yunmo wanted to sit up, but his head hit a stiff wooden plank, and his head was knocked out painfully.
He pushed the board covering his body with both hands, the wooden board was cut to the side, I don't know where it fell, and it took several seconds before there was a dull sound of landing, followed by the sound of something gurgling and rolling, the dim light shone into this confined space, Yunmo was squinted by the sudden light, Yunmo saw the huge silver chandelier hanging above the dome, and the delicate chandelier was lit with candles that seemed to be shedding tears.
Yunmo found that he was sitting in a simple wooden coffin, and this coffin, like the hundreds of coffins in this empty hall, was all suspended in the air by countless rusty chains, and the chains made an overwhelmed sound with Yunmo's up, looking crumbling, these wooden coffins didn't know what ancient wood they were made of, and the coffin itself still had a faint green fluorescence that could barely illuminate the surrounding environment. There were also countless broken chains around him, as if they had been connected to something before, and now they just hung from the ceiling like dead snakes. And in the center surrounded by countless coffins, there is a huge sarcophagus carved with strange reliefs and hung a little below Yunmo's coffin by thicker chains, this sarcophagus is more than ten meters long, wide and high, I don't know what sleeps inside, the sarcophagus is carved all around the faces of people with different expressions and ages, which is extremely weird, and the coffin lid of the sarcophagus is carved with a rather off-line and funny stick figure-like symbol.
A chick whose body is still shrunk in the eggshell and only sticks its head out, the painting style is quite incompatible with other things that Yunmo saw before, but it is inexplicably a little cute.
On the sarcophagus, the edge of the ancient chandelier is in the shape of a snake and a skeleton, swaying from side to side by the wind that doesn't know where it comes from, and the countless coffins in this ancient hall are also blown to the ground by this not big wind, the dim chandelier hits the shadow of the countless wooden halls on the wall, like a jumping ghost, and the dim light of the chandelier and the light of the coffin itself are as green as a ghost fire, rendering a gloomy and stale tone in the hall.
[Current scene, the glory hall of the hanging coffin] In front of Yunmo's eyes, such a prompt as the system appeared, which is also the only thing that Yunmo has seen after entering the game at present, belonging to the game system.
There are no minimaps, no health bars, no quest instructions, and not even tutorials for beginners...... What's the fuss about throwing the player in a weird coffin like this? As soon as Yunmo entered the game, he felt what he had advertised at the E3 Game Show, how this game was "playing cards out of common sense".
"Hey, buddy!" As soon as Yunmo was about to bow over from the coffin and look around, he heard a shout from behind him that lowered his voice, Yunmo turned his head, but was surprised to see another person who was almost half sitting in the coffin with him greeting him with a smile, this is a boy who looks no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, his face is probably the face of an ordinary high school student, he looks very well-behaved, wearing a gray tattered light armor, with short hair with bangs, and is waving at him with a hand covering a leather gauntlet.
The young man's eyes were squinted, and he looked a little cunning.
"Are you...... Are you a gamer too? Yunmo reacted and asked back, this is the same way he played, and he was lying in a coffin of almost the same specifications, obviously a player with the same number as him.
"My name is Drunken Wandering Heaven, a follower of Belial, the Faceless Daughter." The teenager who looked like a sophomore or junior in high school said with a smile.
"...... [Silent One], who is also a believer in Belial, the Faceless Woman." Yunmo was stunned and replied.
The two of them seemed to want to reach out and shake hands, and then realized at the same time that their two coffins were still almost five meters apart, and then smiled at the same time with some embarrassment.
"Sure enough, the players who woke up in this [Hall of Glory] are all believers in Belial Lori." The young man said as if he had confirmed something.
"Does this have anything to do with our goddess Belial?" Yunmo asked after his words.
"Look at the sarcophagus in the middle." Drunken Yunyoutian pointed to the huge sarcophagus hanging in the center: "The reliefs carved on the sarcophagus are all human heads with different expressions and different appearances and twisted strange snakes, I counted them, there are just 250 heads on this side of the coffin facing us, and the four sides add up to a thousand heads, according to the official website setting, the body of the faceless girl has a thousand heads, and the tail of the snake is longer, and the characteristics of the sarcophagus have many coincidences." It's just that the chick symbol on the coffin board I really don't know how to interpret it. ”
"Your observation is very detailed, if you are a normal player like me, I am afraid that you will directly ignore all these details that belong to the background of the scene in the game." Yunmo said with some surprise.
"Don't you know that the games of the Mirror Society are all about details? If you ignore a lot of details in this studio's game, you will miss a lot of tasks and props, and if we really want to play this game thoroughly, we must have an archaeological rigor everywhere in the game. The young man named Drunken Cloud Wandering said solemnly, but he really had the demeanor of an archaeologist.
"I agree with what you say, when I was in Zero Death, I went through the Blood Moon Abyss alone eight times before I found the details and clues that can combine the overall situation of the final boss conspiracy!" Yunmo's good impression of this teenager has added a few points, Yunmo has always regarded himself as a "core player", the so-called "core", that is, he does not only regard the game as a pastime in the process of playing, but also understands the game as an "art" to transmit information and ideas. Good games that can really be called the "ninth art" have their own "core" and soul like those literary masterpieces, classic songs, and excellent movies, and players who try to understand such souls can call themselves "core players", and the producers of those games have their own ideas and concepts to convey them through a medium like games. Now, looking at this teenager's conversation, Yunmo feels that he is probably a core player like himself.
"Huh? You're also a long-time fan of the Mirror Society? I have to say that the stories and clues hidden in the abyss of the blood moon are really appalling, and it is a shame that the Mirror Society can come up with it...... "It seems that Yunmo is an old fan of "Zero Death" like himself, and the drunken cloud wandering chatter box is opened.
"Let's put these aside, after all, we're playing the new work of the Mirror Club now, how long did you build an account before me? Why are you still lying here? Yunmo asked.
"I built the number fifteen minutes before you, and the reason I'm still lying here is that I can't think of any other way out." Drunk Yun Youtian said seriously: "Otherwise, why do you think I would be so bored as to count the number of heads on the coffin?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Yunmo asked curiously, didn't players try everything recklessly these days? Why is the child still lying calmly at the birth point?
"After I built the number, the coffin on the far right has a buddy who was built at about the same time as me, he directly turned out the coffin and jumped down, then after the buddy jumped down, in addition to making a series of screams like killing pigs, I didn't respond no matter how I called him, I guess he fell to death, which proves that this game has landing damage when falling from a height, and he has proved to us with his life that the following can't jump directly, right?" Drunken Cloud Youtian pointed to the darkness under the hundreds of coffins, and then to the empty coffin on the far right, which had been opened.
Yun Mo also noticed that in addition to the coffins where the two of them were now, there were three other coffins in the area he could see in this hall that were already empty, did it prove that there were already three players in the vicinity who had left the coffins and went to other areas?
"And the one who woke up in the coffin on my right is a girl, this girl heard me say that I can't jump below, so she climbed out of the coffin on her own initiative, jumping between the coffins to find a way, you see, although there is still a certain distance between the coffins where the player appears, but there are hundreds of coffins hanging here, each coffin is less than two meters apart, and it is still for us to jump on the coffin, but she has explored the entire hanging coffin area, and she has not found a platform to jump off nearby, In the end, she could only look at the huge and eye-catching sarcophagus in the center," Drunken Yunyoutian pointed to the sarcophagus in the center of the hundreds of hanging coffins, and said flatly.
"Indeed, anyone who wakes up here should notice this strange sarcophagus at first sight, what, is there any mystery in the sarcophagus?" Yunmo asked.
"Look at the shadow of the chandelier shining on the sarcophagus." Drunken Yun Youtian pointed to the flickering candlelight above the chandelier above his head: "This is the prompt that the system gave us at the beginning. ”
Yun Mo looked in the direction of the finger of the drunken cloud wandering sky, and the first thing he saw was the square shadow of the sarcophagus on the wall, and then Yun Mo noticed in surprise that under the huge shadow of the sarcophagus, there was a strange slender figure, as if it belonged to some creature, and it was still slightly up and down with the ups and downs of breathing, looking at the shape, it seemed to be a giant spider close to the size of a person, and the coffins that all the players woke up were at a slightly higher angle than the sarcophagus, looking at the sarcophagus normally, there was no way to see what was hidden under the sarcophagus, And only by looking at the shadow can you notice the existence of this monster.
"It's really vicious, why do you have such a lot of malice towards the player at the spawn point......" Yunmo muttered with some fear.
"The girl's fate can be imagined, as soon as she jumped on the sarcophagus, the spider under the sarcophagus suddenly appeared, directly with one foot through her chest, and rolled her up with spider silk to swallow raw, although I knew that there would be no real death in this game, but the girl's screams still scared my scalp numb, that feeling, as if I was really witnessing a person being devoured by a cruel beast. The girl who was already equipped with the novice axe was directly killed by the spider before she even had time to attack, which shows that with the current player's ability, she can't compete with this very insidious spider at all. Drunken Yunyoutian seemed to recall some bad things, and said with a pale face.
"You can't go up, you can't go down, it's all unknown, it's all a trap, you say, how can you play this game?" Drunk Yun Youtian smiled bitterly: "You still set up this kind of monster that can kill you in seconds at the spawn point like this, is it clear that you want to give all players a 'plot kill' at the beginning?" ”
"What about the player in the third empty coffin?" Yunmo also wants to continue to understand how the players who created the previous account died.
"I don't know, this coffin was empty when I was born, maybe someone built a number before me, and then went to die. But I noticed that the coffin seemed a bit weird, and you see, there was a weird symbol on the right side of the coffin board, which seemed to be different from the coffins of other spawn players. Yunmo was reminded by the drunken clouds, only to see the symbol on the red wooden coffin on the far left that resembled the mural of primitive people, a black snake wrapped around a red bird, the snake has three eyes, the bird has no eyes but has two heads, the snake is wrapping around the bird's neck, and the bird is pecking at the snake's tail.
"But the girl jumped over and studied the coffin under my guidance, but found nothing in it, and there was nothing in the coffin except something that resembled the red hair of a beast." Drunk Yunyoutian shrugged helplessly.
"Red hair? What kind of red hair? "Yunmo thinks this is obviously a clue, right?
"In that girl's backpack, I'm afraid that I was swallowed by a spider with my sister......" Drunk Yunyoutian said with some embarrassment.
"So you've been instigated for fifteen minutes and haven't moved?" Yunmo said jokingly.
"I'm thinking about countermeasures, the game developer has obviously set more than two choices for the player at this spawn point, but these visible choices are all 'death' endings in the end, it seems that the developer just wants the player to see: 'We are not an ordinary game, this is a difficult game', but he did not let the player face the mortal situation at the beginning, but let the player lie in a relatively safe coffin and be born, and the surrounding area has intentionally or unintentionally given us so many clues of unknown meaning...... This obviously means ......" Drunk Yunyoutian calmly analyzed.
"There is a way to survive this start!"
"It's just that we haven't found it yet, have we?" Yunmo propped his chin and laughed with interest:
"Interesting, interesting."
