On the bustling commercial pedestrian street, pedestrians are weaving, and Li Ang and Wang Congshan, who go shopping on weekends to relax, are sitting in a roadside drink shop, sipping cold and refreshing milk tea.

"As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will be a better place."

Li Ang looked at the snow-white long legs that swayed beautifully under the short skirt in the slightly cold autumn wind, and said with heartfelt emotion.

Wang Congshan didn't listen to what Li Ang was saying, she swiped her fingers on the screen, did she tap the keyboard a few times to enter some text, and the expression on her face was a little irritated.

Leon sucked a milk tea pearl into his mouth and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

"The family's WeChat group." Wang Congshan said helplessly, "My brother-in-law wants to have a second child, and my parents advised him to wait a few more years." Theoretically, this kind of thing shouldn't be discouraged, but you know, there have been a lot of strange things lately..."

The information control and information segmentation for abnormal events are not as strong as imagined, and some things cannot be completely eliminated even if they are covered up.

A certain village was suddenly shrouded in fog and has not heard from it so far, a city zoo has grown superfluous limbs overnight, all the passengers of a small foreign cruise ship have jumped into the sea collectively with a smile in a live webcast, and a clown in a playground suddenly deducted his eyeballs and put them in his mouth to chew during a performance...

As for bizarre and bizarre homicides, frequent underground pipeline explosions, and inexplicable building collapses, the melon-eating masses have said that they have become commonplace.

On the surface, modern society is still singing and dancing, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, movies and television are watched, and Douyin pesticides are played, but anxiety and tension are still spreading slowly like infectious diseases.

The better the information blockade, the less it will be able to stop the gossip from circulating, and of course there may be covert guidance from the Secret Service - step by step to get the people to adapt to all these changes.

Wang Congshan, who had been in direct contact with the murder, put down his mobile phone, his face was a little gloomy, presumably his father dissuaded his brother-in-law from being in a hurry to have a second child, also out of consideration of the current situation.

Ordinary people's resistance to abnormal events is almost zero, and there is no other way than escape and self-deception, no matter how afraid of the unknown future, they will eventually return to firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

Wang Congshan sighed: "Alas.... Let's hope the world doesn't get so weird. ”

"Look at it," Leon said with a smile, "Maybe the vast majority of human beings, including you and me, died in the nuclear explosions all over the world before they were killed by all kinds of strange things?" But personally, I would have liked to have died a more poignant way. ”

Wang Congshan's eyes squinted, "For example, the skin eye is stuffed with two kicks and then ignites the fuse?" It's not only very heroic and poignant, but also very auspicious. ”

"So talkative? Have you smeared honey on your little mouth? ”

Li Ang sucked away the last bit of milk tea: "Let's go, don't you still have to go shopping." ”

"Hmm." Wang Congshan's spirit was shocked, "My mother's birthday is coming, first choose two clothes for her, and then buy a new watch for my father, then we go to the jewelry store for a walk, and finally go to have a meal." ”

Li Ang went out shopping, first, to relax, and secondly, to see if he could trigger any system tasks - according to the forum, except for the anomalous event center node like Qian Hualu, there is no pattern in the distribution of other urban legends, and wandering around is the best way to trigger tasks.

Of course, there are also some timid and cowardly forum netizens who have been closed after becoming players and do not take the initiative to trigger tasks.

Such netizens often never see the news again after the first post, either because he has cut off all contact with the outside world, or... It's because he hasn't triggered the regular quest and hasn't leveled up, and he dies in the forced script quest with increasing difficulty.

Running away won't solve anything.

Whether it is an ordinary person or a player, in this increasingly crazy and sick world, they are always in danger.

Li Ang accompanied Wang Congshan to walk back and forth on the commercial street, bought a few clothes, chose a watch that was not expensive, and finally went to the fifth floor of Longheng Shopping Mall to have a grilled fish - this meal was invited by Wang Congshan, in order to repay Li Ang's favor for helping her repair the computer that day.

Just as the two of them walked out of the mall gate with a full meal and drink, a system prompt suddenly sounded in Li Ang's ears.

【Task trigger conditions met】

[Mission Type: Script Task (Teamwork)]

[Mission Name: Hide and Seek]

[Mission goal: Go to the main entrance hall of Longheng Shopping Mall at 12:00 am tonight, and wait for the next task prompt]

[Quest reward: Announced when prompted by the next quest]

[Failure Penalty: Erasure]

There was no change in the gait of Li Ang as he walked out of the door, but his eyes instantly turned cold.

It was the first time he had encountered a real-world teamwork script mission.

The name of the mission is easy to understand, and most people have played a game of hide and seek as children.

A person plays as a "ghost", and after counting down to a hundred seconds blindfolded, go to find a group of people hiding in different locations in a certain area, and the first person to be found will be punished and play as a new "ghost" in the next round of the game.

Hide-and-seek, an ancient game that dates back at least to the Tang Dynasty, has endured for a long time due to its unique fun and competitiveness, but in the unique context of the killing game, ghost hunting is likely to be a literal ghost hunt....

As for the mission objectives .... This time, the killing game is quite intimate to give about four hours of preparation time, and the closing time of Longheng Shopping Mall is half past ten in the evening, and at twelve o'clock in the morning, the shopping mall is empty except for the security guards, which is very suitable for players to play freely.

Although the task reward is not explained, since it is a task that requires a whole team of players to work together, the reward is naturally not as low as that.

As for the defeat penalty for obliteration .... It can only be said that as the player's level gradually increases, the difficulty of the tasks faced also increases.

Li Ang's mind turned sharply, but he didn't show it, turned his head and said calmly to Wang Congshan: "Are your parents at home?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong?" Wang Congshan said with empty eyes: "Don't tell me that you still want to go to my house to eat." ”

"What do you think, I've just eaten it." Leon said, "I'll take a taxi to take you back." ”

"Huh?" Wang Congshan's eyes widened, and she looked at Li Ang in disbelief,

Usually he has to pick more and pick more, known as the iron rooster Grande tendency, travel all rely on buses, subways, bicycles, eleven roads, how to change the temperament today to take a taxi.

Could it be that you kid has finally opened his mind?

The two got into an online car-hailing car, and after sending Wang Congshan home, Li Ang asked the driver to go to Wanhe Community.
