…………
"Single-player mode...... Is there a unique way of progressing the story?
What the hell is the fate event I chose? Except for the type, the introduction, requirements, and rewards are all unknown.
Very different from the fateful events I once experienced. ”
When Han Dong was conscious, he was lying in the hall on the first floor of the bright villa......
Dressed in loose, warm pajamas, he held steaming coffee in one hand and a remote control in the other...... However, the TV would not turn on no matter what.
"There's a power outage?"
Just then, a system prompt came.
『In single-player mode, the story guide is activated』
"The Mist" pre-plot introduction:
You're a freelance writer who came to this remote town in the United States on a field of research.
One day, a sudden storm struck your town, causing a large number of trees to fall, power supply facilities to be paralyzed, and signal base stations to be damaged.
Your temporary rental home was also destroyed.
The horror story in the fog will start here...... You will be given 30 minutes of free time.
Han Dong immediately fell into deep thought.
"Story Guide...... Perhaps a little mandatory requirement will be given in the next action.
Speaking of which, I am quite familiar with the movie "The Mist", after all, I saw this movie in my undergraduate film appreciation class, and I also wrote a report at that time.
I remember that the main content of the movie is that the fog swept through the town, and the protagonist and some other town personnel were trapped in the town's supermarket and encountered monsters in the fog.
The absolute fear and helplessness of being trapped in the fog is very well placed, and the human conflict in a desperate environment is also very good.
However, there are some problems with this movie.
The 'question of the origin of the Mist monster' was learned through the uncertain verbal account of a private.
It seems that on the other side of the mountain, the military is conducting some kind of top-secret experiment, and it intends to open a window to peek into another world, but it actually opens a door to other worlds.
From the other side of the door came all sorts of unspeakable and terrifying life.
But is this really the case? No clear answer is given in the film.
Moreover, in the ending of the movie.
The director deliberately wanted to create a sense of despair and powerlessness, and then an unexpected reversal...... How could such a terrifying life form be controlled by the military in such a short period of time? ”
In Han Dong's view, what is shown in the movie is only a small part of the truth of the matter, and the story is far from over.
Just Han Dong quickly reviewed the plot of the movie.
When you are about to release the two summons in your head and perform the Destiny Event together.
"Hmm...... What's going on? ”
Han Dong was unable to sense the presence of the containment object...... Can't even get in touch with the brain.
"Due to the peculiarities of The Mist, all abilities that do not originate from the space of destiny are closed."
"Oops!!"
The ability to come from outside the city is an important reliance for Han Dong.
If the ability outside the city is blocked, Han Dong's ability will be greatly reduced...... Unable to wield the Eye of the Less, unable to summon two containments, and unable to merge with Dozecrow.
This has never happened before in the events of Fate.
"However, as you investigate and explore, some of your abilities can be used under certain conditions."
"Huh? So many rules...... Can you finish it all at once? Han Dong couldn't help but complain.
In the blink of an eye, five delicate cards appeared on the coffee table, which just corresponded to Han Dong's sealed 'out-of-city ability'.
(1). Ability Card - [Magic Eye]
The green-edged card is painted with a longitudinal one-eyed surrounded by strange formation characters, and through the change of luster on the surface of the card, it creates a strange effect of a 'living eye'.
Consumes 3 Omens and lasts for one hour.
Effect: MONOCULUS helps you dispel illusions in the fog, increases range and discerns monsters' weaknesses.
(2). Prop card - [Bone Feather Coat]
A white-trimmed card depicts a delicate black feather tunic.
Each borrowing costs 1 Omen (for 30 minutes), and a one-time consumption of 5 Omen can permanently equip the item.
Effect: Provides all-attribute protection and additional mobility.
(3). Ally Card - [Raven Man]
The black-bordered card depicts a terrifying raven-man with two heads crouching at the end of a tree branch.
Each summon costs 1 Omen and lasts for one hour. (Once an ally dies during summoning, the card will be permanently inactivated and cannot be summoned again)
Description: The Raven from the Gain Forest has excellent reconnaissance skills, but weak combat ability.
(4). Summoning Card - [Evil Girl]
The delicate red border card depicts a woman in red standing in the corner of a room, the kitchen knife in her hand glowing with silver.
Species: Human
Each summon costs 1 Omen and lasts for one hour. (Minions will disappear immediately when they take heavy damage.) The corresponding card will enter a cooldown period and will not be able to be used for a period of time. )
(5). Summoning Card - [Hell Monk]
Inside the lava-bordered card is a bald man being whipped in pain in the depths of hell.
Species: Demon
Each summon costs 1 Omen and lasts for one hour. (Minions will disappear immediately when they take heavy damage.) The corresponding card will enter a cooldown period and will not be able to be used for a period of time. )
"Hmm...... It's barely okay, as long as it's not completely blocked from my abilities, it's easy to say anything. Otherwise, this fateful event may be really dangerous. ”
Han Dong immediately tried to use the ability from the space of destiny.
Plague, sand, and some crow abilities that don't involve contamination can all be used normally.
"By the way, how to get the [Bad Omen] that needs to be consumed to use the card?"
At this moment, there was another mysterious prop on the coffee table...... Resembles a black candy bag.
Han Dong immediately thought that the candy bag might be related to the bad omen.
