Chapter 300: Surviving the Dawn: Phase 1 (12)

“... It's all the same emotions my sister experienced a year ago! Oh, but you know, they can't just laugh and let this pass! No, no, no, how do they have a solution? They're all dead! ”

Joshua cried and laughed, as if he had been divided. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Joshua, I don't know if you noticed, none of us were laughing." Mike said.

"Don't do that, why be sullen? Come on! It's not bad to get your heart beating a little faster once in a while," Joshua said, "and each of you has a little heart that's about to jump out!" I hope you enjoy my little theater of illusions! ”

"Everything we see is an illusion you made?" Ashley looked at Joshua suspiciously.

Joshua pulled a notebook out of the shadows, "Of course, I like to carefully design every detail, and every opportunity is not missed. It is a pleasure to be able to manipulate you into experiencing conditioning panic. And the blood, the blurred sights. ”

"The body that was cut in half... Also an illusion? Ashley looked at Joshua in amazement.

"It's so expensive, and I can do it all at once, without even having to remake it," Joshua said, "and you should look at the expressions on your faces, every single one of you has taken the bait." ”

"Joshua, why are you doing this?" Samantha asked, puzzled.

"Don't ask this madman, he has no reason, he's crazy at all." Mike said suddenly.

Christopher looked at Joshua and asked, "Did you take your medicine today?" ”

"Oh, please, revenge is the best medicine! It's been a year since my sisters died, and you've never reflected, especially Mike and Jessica. ”

"You're finished!" Mike said angrily.

"Mike, he's sick." Christopher tries to appease Mike.

"What? Please, you'll all thank me when you go viral on the internet. Joshua said.

"Wait, what did you say?" Christopher asked.

"I'm sure this film will be reprinted like crazy, there is unrequited love in the film, and there is bloody violence, and I don't think there are enough computers in the world to count the number of views you get."

"What the hell are you fucking bastard?" Mike yelled, "Jessica is dead!" You're still dreaming here..."

"What?" Joshua was stunned.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Jessica is dead! You're going to pay the price! ”

Mike punched Joshua right in the head, and Joshua fainted without even a snort.

Mike and Christopher tied the unconscious Joshua to a chair, and after a while, Joshua woke up.

"Hey, guys, what's this for?" Joshua expressed surprise at his current situation.

"You madman, you killed Jessica, I'm going to make you pay!" Michael pointed to Joshua and said.

"What are you talking about, I didn't kill Jessica, you believe me." Joshua's defense.

"Do you know what you've done? You're already crazy. Christopher grabbed his hair and said to Joshua.

"It's you guys who are crazy, I'm a healer, I'm bringing everyone together, I'm doing this to help people get out of what happened last year." Joshua said.

"Enough! You're crazy! Mike shouted.

"You're all blind and see only what you want to see!" Joshua also shouted uncontrollably, "You can't afford to joke yourself, and you can't blame me." ”

"That's enough," Mike pushed down his chair and pressed Joshua to the ground, suddenly with a gun in his hand, and he put the muzzle of the gun to Joshua's temple and said, "Hey, did I hurt you?" Did you just feel a little pain? I'm really, really sorry right now. ”

Joshua struggled and screamed, "You bastard, stop..."

Christopher felt uneasy and stepped forward to stop Mike's violence, "Oh my God, man..."

Mike dragged the chair up, and Joshua sat back in the chair.

"Mike, I can't tell you how sad I am that something happened to Jessica, but I swear, I swear to you, I don't know what the hell happened to her." Joshua is still pleading.

Tang Tu and Van Gogh had been watching this scene from the side, and both of them frowned.

Van Gogh: "Do you think the murderer was Joshua?" ”

Tang Tu: "Absolutely not, the time is not right." ”

Van Gogh: "So what are we going to do, are we going to help Joshua?" ”

Tang Tu: "... In short, they can't be allowed to kill him. ”

Tang Tu walked over, stood in front of Joshua, looked at Mike and the others and said, "I know you guys are angry now, but please think about it calmly, do you really think Joshua is a murderer?" He's a good friend of yours. ”

“... But he's gone mad, he's just admitted to himself. Mike said.

"He confessed to the prank, but not to the fact that he killed someone, if... I mean, if Jessica wasn't killed by him, can you afford to make a mistake in judgment? Tang Tu said calmly.

Van Gogh also walked over, "Yes, think for yourself, Joshua first played a prank on Christopher and Ashley in the cabin, and then returned to the villa to make fun of Samantha, and then Christopher and Ashley, and he doesn't know how to dop, how can he go outside and kill Jessica at the same time?" It doesn't make sense in terms of time allocation. ”

Several NPCs present were confused.

Tang Tu asked Mike again, "What happened to you and Jessica?" Aren't our men always following you? Where did they go? ”

Mike scratched his head and said, "Jessica and I were in the visitor's cabin when a monster grabbed Jessica. I chased after it and watched Jessica die in front of me.

Later, I followed the monster trail and found a sanatorium. Your people were still with me at the time, and we went to the sanatorium together. The sanatorium was abandoned, but it was home to a bunch of monsters.

Later, we met a group of your people, and they felt a little strange and told my people that they were enemies.

Then we started running away, and the men were chasing us... In the end, I was the only one who escaped... I'm sorry I accidentally lit the oil drum when I came out, and I seem to hear an explosion..."

"Wait a minute, you said you met another group of our people in the sanatorium, and the ones who followed them said they were enemies?" Tang Tu repeated Mike's words again.

"Yes, those monsters are locked in the door, but those people are outside, they can move freely, and they are people, not monsters." Mike explained again.

Tang Tu looked at Van Gogh, and Van Gogh asked in a low voice, "What do you think is the situation?" Is it the remaining five players? ”

Tang Tu nodded.

Of the 100 players in the initial stage of the weekly mission, only 95 have appeared in the mission channel so far, and there have always been five fewer players.

The five of them can't use the quest channel, either because they're trapped on a special map, or because they're on the opposite side, or both.

Tang Tu confirmed to Mike again, "Are you sure that the people who followed you at the beginning said that they were enemies?" ”

Mike nodded vigorously, "yes, pretty sure, your guys told me to run, they were going after me, but those new guys used some weird tricks... When I finally looked back, there was no one behind me. ”

Tang Tu and Van Gogh's faces both became very heavy.

This time, the weekly mission actually had a hostile player in the first stage. This information must be shared with others immediately.

However, Tang Tu suddenly found that the mission channel was unusable, and the system prompted that "the character is in a special scene and cannot send messages to the outside".

"Can't use the mission channel again? Could it be that the people who support have not come, it seems that every time the NPC launches an important plot, the scene will be locked. Tang Tu said.

"So what are we going to do?" Van Gogh asked anxiously.

"End this episode, and then get out of here and you should be able to send a message." Tang Tu said.

After being persuaded by Tang Tu and Van Gogh, they didn't seem to be so sure that Joshua was the murderer of Jessica, but Joshua's prank made them angry, so they decided to leave Joshua in the basement for a while.

Joshua naturally didn't want to stay alone, but Mike and the others didn't want to pay attention to him and walked out one by one.

Tang Tu walked up to Joshua and said to him, "You really need to be sober, at least it's safe to stay here, and when we go out to figure out the situation, we will come and release you." ”

As Tang Tu said, judging by the current situation, the monster is outside, and the abnormalities in the villa are all made by Joshua, and it is the safest to stay in the villa.

Especially in the basement, in order to find Samantha just now, everyone searched almost all the rooms, and there are no monsters in the Jedi here.

Tang Tu and Van Gogh also followed the NPCs out of the basement.

After leaving the basement, you can use the mission channel again, and Tang Tu and Van Gogh immediately shared the latest news with everyone.

At the same time, they were shocked by the updates from other players in the mission channel.

Following Jessica's death, Matthew also died, and they all died in front of the players' eyes, so it is completely certain that they are dead, not Joshua's prank before.

It turned out that Matthew and Emily went to find the communicator before, and they encountered a herd of deer on the way, and were strangely attacked by the deer, and the two hid on the watchtower and found the communicator inside.

Emily contacted the police, but due to the wind and snow, the police would not be able to arrive at Blackwood Forest Villa until tomorrow morning at the earliest, which meant that everyone had to survive until dawn on their own.

This time period just explains the requirements of the main quest.

Then a monster appears, and it attacks Matthew and Emily, taking down the watchtower. Matthew accidentally hangs on an iron hook while falling, killing him instantly, while Emily falls on a tree, and after crushing countless branches, Emily miraculously survives.

In the process, many players died in order to save them. Emily survived only with the help of the player.

Emily falls into a mine, accompanied by a number of players, who enter a special scene at that moment and are unable to send messages.

In the mines, Emily and the players encounter a monster, and this time everyone finally sees what it looks like, it does look a bit like a zombie, but it moves very quickly, and its attack power is more terrifying than that of a ferocious beast.

With the sacrifice and help of the player, Emily finally escaped from the mine and is now running towards the villa.

Originally, there were more than twenty players who followed Matthew and Emily, but now there are only eight left.

Now the sub-mission channel exploded again, and everyone discussed it for a while, and then decided to shrink the defense line, and all the players who were outside went back to the villa.

After a while, Emily and a few of the players did run back.

Emily frantically banged on the door and window, "Open the door!" Open the door!"

The players were already waiting at the door, and they immediately opened them, and Emily and a few others rushed in, and the players immediately closed the door tightly.

"Oh my God, there's monsters! What about Matthew? Is he back? Emily asked incoherently.

Matthew's death was witnessed by the players, but Emily fell into the mine and didn't see it, and several players didn't have time to talk to her.

The players looked at each other, and none of them wanted to be bad guys, so everyone tacitly remained silent.

Emily sat on the couch and curled up as several NPCs gathered around her to ask.

"Emily, tell us, what's going on?" Christopher asked anxiously.

"Wait, let me breathe a sigh of relief... So, we climbed up the lookout, and then it collapsed, and the whole lookout collapsed! Collapse into the pit! Emily gasped.

"Wait, what pit?" Christopher asked.

Emily pointed to the ground and said, "There are pits all over here, so when the lookout collapsed, we fell into the pits. ”

"I don't understand, you said the lookout collapsed?" Samantha frowned and asked, "How did it collapse?" ”

"One more thing," Emily frowned, "I... Discover something... But it's not enough to piece together what happened..."

The monster destroys the lookout, which is seen by the players who stayed below, but Emily and Matthew were on top of the tower at the time, so they didn't see the scene of the tower being destroyed.

"What the hell did you find?" Samantha asked.

"Matthew and I... The two of us found Beth's phone. "I found what looked like a camp, and I think they fell down there." ”

"Oh my God." Christopher hugged his head.

"Listen, there's a radio in the lookout, and I, I managed to get in touch with someone, but at that moment, the lookout collapsed!" Emily said, "And then I met the monster in the mine, and it kept chasing me..." )
