"Is it just the seven of us? I remember that the number of people on the mission was eight? ”

"Isn't there going to be anyone who just gets into the game and hangs up, right?"

"Not really, right? How many stars is the difficulty of this task? ”

"It's only two stars, and the difficulty shouldn't be very great, which is quite in line with the situation of our second mission."

Shen Junyao felt that there was a group of people talking not far away.

Who is it? Is it the NPC of the game, or is it the same player as her?

What the hell is this game?

"Who's there?" A female voice asked solemnly, something split the sound of the wind, Jun Yao was stunned in place, a dart grazed her ear hair, and the fine strands of hair slowly fell.

This technique, this strength, if you don't miss, you'll die, right?!

Realizing this, Jun Yao belatedly screamed.

"It's a human?"

"It can't be the rest of the player, right?"

"Dong'er, don't beat people to death."

The group of people came in the direction of Jun Yao.

What to do? What to do! Are they going to kill me......

Should I find a place to hide? But it's so empty, where can I hide?!

Jun Yao, who was extremely scared, subconsciously leaned back, her back pressed against the wall in the alley.

People always look for a sense of security to rely on when they encounter danger.

Jun Yao put the weight of her entire body on the wall behind her, slowing down her breathing, hoping that the group of people would not come to her.

"Ding-" The wall behind him made a violent sound the moment the fingers were placed, and a flash of light flashed.

It's over.

Jun Yao thought so.

[Dream traveler Shen Junyao, trigger clue: Shuocheng map. 】

Another electronic sound.

Clue? Map of Shuozhen? So, is the town of Shuo where the game is located now?

The dazzling light on the wall dissipated, and Jun Yao reached out and picked up the map.

A sound of footsteps stopped behind her.

"Hello, you are Shen Junyao?" A girl's gentle voice sounded, Jun Yao turned around, and saw a black-haired girl in an aqua blue dress raising her hand to greet her.

Huh?

Wait a minute!

Isn't this girl the gentle young lady I saw in the city library this afternoon?

The girl also seemed to recognize her, and was surprised, "It's you?" It's a cute kid at the library this afternoon. ”

"Hmm...... Hello, I'm Shen Junyao. Jun Yao greeted politely.

"Dong'er, how's it going? Is it a dream traveler? Another female voice sounded, and it seemed not far from them.

"My name is Chiyo Fuyu, you ...... New time on this mission? The girl approached Jun Yao with a smile, then took one of her hands and asked carefully.

"Hmm...... Well. "Jun Yao has no resistance to the good-looking and soft-talking young lady.

Who doesn't love PLMM?

"Understood. I, like you, am a dream traveler on this mission. There are a total of eight people involved in this mission, except for you and me, the rest are waiting in the square in front. Let's go over together. Chiyo Dong was still smiling.

"I ...... This game, this ......" Jun Yao was a little incoherent.

"We'll give you a closer look at this mission." Chiyo Dong pulled Jun Yao to a place that looked like a square, and in the center of the square, there were six people gathered together, as if they were discussing something.

They should already know each other, right?

Jun Yao looked at their position and the way they got along, and thought.

"Dong'er is back? Huh—is it a newcomer? So cute! A girl with short burgundy hair and a denim jacket flew up when she saw Jun Yao, "You are Shen Junyao?" As a newcomer, I got the key clue map at the beginning, nice! ”

"Yi'an, you're scaring her." Chiyo Dong looked at the red-haired girl who held Jun Yao tightly in her arms with some helplessness.

"Ahh Scares you cutie? Yi An hurriedly let her go.

After Yi An's actions, Jun Yao was flattered and had to shake her head again and again.

"Alright, let's introduce each other." A young man in a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose, stopping Yi An's jumping move, "My name is Qi Ming." ”

"Yi'an." It was the name of the girl who just hugged Jun Yao, Jun Yao thought her name was Yi An, but she didn't expect her surname to be Yi. What a nice name......

"Chiyofutsu." It's a gentle young lady who has had a relationship with herself.

"My name is Yin Weiyu." It is a brown wool roll and a girl wearing a simple sportswear.

"Ling Feng." This young man's face is very good-looking, and he even collides with the C position of a Korean boy group, he feels cold, and there is a knife tied to the side of his left leg.

"My name is Li Hua, and he is my younger brother Chen Yao." The slightly older boy wearing a middle school uniform should be Li Hua, and he is holding a little boy who looks like he is only ten years old.

The seven of them all looked at Jun Yao.

Watch me do what? Ah, is it time for me to introduce myself?

"Ah, hello! I, my name is Shen Junyao. Jun Yao spit out a sentence in a panic, this appearance was very cute in Yi An's eyes.

"Jun Yao and Chen Yao are both participating in this mission for the first time, right?" Qi Ming didn't care if he was close or not, he directly called Shen Junyao as Jun Yao, but he didn't care about it, and Jun Yao didn't say anything.

"Hmm......" Jun Yao nodded.

"The mission is important, I won't talk about the rest, and when this mission is over, I will tell you everything." Qi Ming nodded, "Before entering the mission, did you receive the relevant information about the mission wish?" ”

Chen Yao shook his head, and Li Hua hurriedly explained, "My brother is ...... Can't speak, sorry. ”

Qi Ming was surprised for a moment, but quickly sorted out his emotions and looked at Jun Yao, Jun Yao nodded, "I didn't get much information, so I'm still very confused." ”

"Tell me?"

The quest is called "Wish", and it says that the condition for winning is to survive until dawn or solve the puzzle of the Wishing House. Then I mentioned it inexplicably, because the novice dream traveler, if the task fails, the task will be replaced, and no punishment will be given. Jun Yao struggled to remember everything she had seen from that book, "That's all." ”

"It's no different from our previous tips." Chiyo Dong said to Qi Ming, and Qi Ming replied, "Generally, newcomers won't get the detailed background of the mission, because we will act as NPCs. Let me introduce the background of this mission. This is the city of Shuo, where there was an outbreak of plague and finally caused the death of the whole city, because of the plague, many people died miserably, and later the city was called 'ghost town', and everyone who came to this city would die. ”

"Ghost town? Is there really a ghost? As soon as Jun Yao heard this background, she thought of the kind of ghost adventure game she had played before, and this background was also very suitable for this genre.

"Of course, this city is full of a lot of ghosts, of course, there are props that can kill ghosts, Shuocheng is a world of ghosts, so the way time passes here is not the same as reality, our mission says 'survive until dawn', it's not just a day here to complete the mission."

"What do you mean? If not a day, then how long? ”

"Three days. Time passes at a third of the speed of real life, so we're going to be here for three days. ”

"I see, find props to kill ghosts in this Shuo City, hide from ghosts, survive for three days, and the game is over." Jun Yao understood, so she said confidently, "I'm the best at this kind of hiding game!" ”

"Jun Yao." Yi An is rarely serious, "This is not a game, it is a task. ”

"Is there a difference?" Jun Yao was puzzled, the game and the task were equal in her eyes, although she didn't know why she dreamed that she was playing a game, and she also received the so-called task, however, this task was generated in the game, shouldn't the two be equal?

"I also hope it's just a game, so how nice it would be." Chiyo Winter said with a little melancholy, "It's still the task that is more important, so it's not convenient to explain it to you one by one now." But one thing you have to keep in mind is that this is not just a game, in which you are really dead when you die. You will be trapped in this world forever and will never be able to return to reality. ”

"Open...... Are you kidding? It's just in a dream, if anything dies, it's really dead, you ......" Jun Yao wanted to refute, but slowly she found that except for Chen Yao, the expressions of everyone else looking at her had changed, not teasing. Not anger, but a ......

Commiseration.

Are they taking pity on themselves? Why? Isn't this just a dream? Why are they so serious?

"After this mission, I will come to you and tell you all this, of course, provided that you and I are alive." Chiyo Dong sighed, then turned her back to Jun Yao, making her unable to see the fear on her face.

"Good ......" Jun Yao also realized that the atmosphere had become unusual because of her doubts about this game or this task, and in order to break the wrong atmosphere of her own making, she asked, "However, I remember that there are two conditions for winning. ”

"That's right." Qi Ming took over the conversation, "This is exactly what I want to say next, the task will set two conditions for winning, the first one you have just understood, is to survive for three days, and the other is a shortcut." But in general, the shortcut will be very difficult, we have to solve the puzzle of the Wishing House, but first we have to know where the Wishing House is, secondly, we have to stay in the Wishing House for a while to understand the mystery, and secondly, we have to solve the puzzle. ”

"Huh?" Jun Yao was a little puzzled, hearing Qi Ming say this, the second one is obviously not so dangerous? At least, compared to the first.

"The second type is not simple, it is actually a hidden task, the information related to the hidden task is completely blank, and we must deduce it ourselves by finding clues in the task. Luckily, though, you'll find the key to unlocking the hidden mission right from the start. Chiyo Dong saw what Jun Yao was thinking, shook his head and explained.

"Key...... You mean the map of Shuocheng? ”

"That's right." As soon as Chiyo Dong's voice fell, the bell tower on the left side of the square suddenly rang.

[Ladies and gentlemen, the ghost hunt will start in half an hour, duration: two hours, please be careful.] 】

[Remaining mission time: 2 days, 22 hours, 30 minutes]

[Countdown to the first ghost hunt: 30 minutes]

[Items have been refreshed.] 】

[Good luck to everyone.] 】

"It's time for us to go." Qi Ming took out a golden pocket watch and looked at it, then stuffed it back, and was about to take a step, but stopped again.

"Jun Yao, look at your map, where is the nearest safe house to us?"

Safe House ...... What is it again?

Jun Yao looked confused.

"Give me the map, cutie, I'll take a look." Yi An reached out and rubbed Jun Yao's head, "I'm an architectural designer, come on." ”

Trust them first! Jun Yao thought so, so he handed the map in his hand to Yi An, Yi An took it and glanced at it twice and returned it to Jun Yao, "Go to the east, there are fewer houses in that area, it is relatively empty, and there are two safe houses over there, which is convenient for transfer." ”

Qi Ming nodded, "Ling Feng and I will open the way, you go in the middle, and after the winter and light rain are broken." ”

"Be vigilant!"

"Okay."

Jun Yao also replied.

This tense, saber-rattling atmosphere......

Is the game about to start?

Although Yi An and Chiyo Dong said a lot of strange things about this game before, Jun Yao was not afraid, and even had some expectations.

"It must be a fun game."
