Tang Tu and Van Gogh walked on the way down the mountain, and the two of them cautiously observed their surroundings, maintaining a high degree of vigilance, while whispering at the same time.
Van Gogh: "Is it really okay for us to do this?" ”
Tang Tu: "You have to try it to know, do you have a better way?" ”
Van Gogh: "... No. But are you sure we have a weapon that can kill our own NPCs? ”
Tang Tu: "Of course I'm not sure, that's why I have to try Mike first." ”
What are the two of them going to do? Why is it out of the player's army?
Not so long ago, the system task was published. Similar to Tang Tu's guess, the second phase of the mission requires NPCs to survive at least four times, and the number of players who survive in the end must be more than 50%.
If the conservative approach of the first stage is followed, it is impossible for the player to complete the mission at all.
Players in the second phase have experience completing the first stage, and after discussion, everyone decided to abandon the NPCs that went out from the beginning and focus on protecting the villa's people.
That is, the two groups of people who went out, Mike and Jessica, as well as Matthew and Emily, were abandoned by the player from the start. Of course, according to the plot of the first stage, Emily will survive and return to the villa with her own abilities.
However, Tang Tu felt that this was not enough, because in this mission setting, players had no means to effectively deal with Wendigo, and the large number of people was not an advantage in front of Wendigo at all.
Tang Tu thought about it and had an idea, he had this idea before entering the mission, and now he finally had a chance to verify it.
What does Tang Tu want to do? He wanted to kill Mike as a way to stop him from freeing Wendigo from the sanatorium.
According to the plot of the first stage, before Mike blew up the sanatorium gate, there was only Hannah in Wendigo roaming the forest. If he only dealt with Hannah's Wendigo, Tang Tu felt that he still had some hope to complete the task.
Second, killing Mike is equivalent to saving Emily, who escaped from death later.
Therefore, when the plot developed to the point where Mike and Emily's group left the villa to go to the visitor's cabin, Tang Tu and Van Gogh followed.
Speaking of which, I also want to mention what Tang Tu did before this. According to the experience of the first stage, the player could not attack their own NPC, but Tang Tu thought of a possibility.
In fact, the system does not explicitly state that players cannot attack their own NPCs, this is just the player's experience, because energy cards cannot have an effect on their own NPCs. But doesn't such a rule feel a bit excessive?
So, is there a possibility that players can actually attack their own NPCs, but only need to use special weapons?
Tang Tu thought of the scene where Mike shot Emily.
This plot is obviously unreasonable, so why does the system still arrange this plot, and does the system want to prompt the player with any information through this plot?
Thinking of this, Tang Tu's heart moved, and he thought of a possibility.
So, before the mission was released, Tang Tu took Van Gogh to the room where the guns were stored in the villa, and each took a shotgun and a pistol.
So, after the mission was released, after Mike and Jessica left the villa, Tang Tu and Van Gogh sneaked out of the villa with weapons on their backs.
A cold wind blew, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier.
Van Gogh shuddered, "If we come out like this, will we meet Hannah before Mike and them?" ”
Tang Tu shook his head, "No, according to the plot of the first stage, I think Hannah still retains a little memory of her life at this time, so along the way, she has been following Mike and the two." ”
"You mean to say that because Hannah liked Mike, he secretly followed them, and then killed her because he was jealous of Jessica?"
"Pretty much, otherwise there's no way to explain why she never killed Mike. She's now following Mike and Jessica, and we're safe as long as we distance ourselves from them. ”
The visitor's hut was farther away than the cabin where the tools were stored, and it was above the villa, and after walking for a long time, Tang Tu and the others came to the vicinity.
Fifty meters away from the visitor's hut, Tang Tu and Van Gogh stopped.
Tang Tu: "We can't go any further, judging by the time, Mike and Jessica are already in the house, Hannah should be outside the house at this time, and it won't be safe for us to get any closer." ”
Van Gogh: "Find a place to ambush?" ”
Tang Tu: "That stone over there is good, we can hide in the back, and there will definitely be movement when they come out." ”
Van Gogh: "We don't save Jessica?" ”
Tang Tu: "I can't save it." Jessica was the mastermind behind teasing Hannah last year, and she bears some responsibility for the death of Hannah's sisters. Now, Jessica is Mike's girlfriend again and the object of Hannah's jealousy. If we want to save her, we have to be Hannah's enemy, which is unwise. ”
Tang Tu and Van Gogh hid behind the stone, and the two of them did not speak, but communicated with each other on the team channel, trying to be as silent as possible, while the two of them remained motionless, which was also to prevent Hannah from being seen.
It wasn't long before Jessica's scream and Mike's roar rang out in the direction of the visitor's cabin. A dark shadow flashed swiftly down the path, holding Jessica in its hand. Jessica was not dead at this time, screaming and calling for help from time to time.
Tang Tu and Van Gogh were motionless behind the stone, and the two of them couldn't even hold their breath.
After a while, the sound of running and Mike's shouts sounded on the path, and Tang Tu and Van Gogh climbed the stone and looked down the path.
Mike ran in the direction of the visitor's hut with a shotgun, following Jessica's voice.
Seeing Mike running over, Tang Tu and Van Gogh jumped out of the stone. Tang Tu didn't say a word, raised his pistol and aimed it at Mike's leg and fired a shot.
At the moment of his move, Tang Tu changed his mind again, wanting Wendigo to possess the corpse, he felt that he should not kill Mike, but control him.
Mike fell to the ground with a leg injury, he looked at Tang Tu and Van Gogh in disbelief, and wanted to resist with a gun, but when he fell just now, the shotgun had already been taken off, and Van Gogh had already run over to pick it up.
Mike hugged his injured leg and wailed, Tang Tu walked over and looked at him and said, "Don't worry, we don't plan to kill you, we just don't want you to continue to make trouble, this is also to protect you." ”
After all, Mike was only a student, and it was the first time he had been injured by a gunshot, and his expression was no longer as determined as before, but a little flustered. (To be continued.) )
