Chapter 13: Escape from the Murderous Mansion (End)

After Lu Yuan entered this dungeon, it was the fourth time he heard this 'beep~~' sound.

I don't know where this voice came from, it just suddenly appeared in my ear, without any warning, and after a flash, it didn't cause anything. So much so that Lu Yuan had already selectively ignored this voice.

And just as he was about to die, the voice reappeared.

So what's going on with this "beep~~" sound...... What exactly does it represent?

Lu Yuan leaned against the wall, thinking, in front of him, the terrifying female corpse was floating towards him little by little, behind her, another monster was crawling towards him in a 'spider crawling' posture, at this moment it was already covered with bloody wounds, and every movement prompted it to flow thick black blood, exuding an unbearable pungent smell.

As the two approached little by little, Lu Yuan's health value was also constantly passing.

7%;

5%;

The crawling fellow had already approached Lu Yuan's face, and the tip of his nose was almost on his face...... Lu Yuan's expression didn't change much, he was just quiet, and continued to figure out the inexplicable voice.

3%;

The female corpse also came slowly, and ten fingers stretched out towards Lu Yuan's head...... It's still a few inches away from going straight through the skull.

That's it!

A sudden "click...... sound!

......

Lu Yuan's expression was suddenly stunned———— for a moment, everything in this copy, even the strange 'beep sound', seemed to be quickly connected because of this strange light sound.

It's hard to describe the soft sound, it's a short, complex sound that combines the impact of plastic, the stretching of springs, the movement of electronic parts, and so on.

But although it is very complicated, anyone who has heard him will instantly know what this voice represents.

Because this 'click~' sound only appears when answering the phone, it means that on the other side of the call, someone has picked up the microphone.

And with this soft sound, next to Lu Yuan's ears, a male voice also came out of thin air.

"Hello, this is the ...... of the police station"

This is a very strange feeling, the terrifying monster in front of him is about to devour itself alive, but in his ears, there is a series of calls that are completely out of tune with this situation. Listening like that, the person talking on the other side is still an operator who reported the crime......

This absurd scene is estimated to have confused most players, but the corners of Lu Yuan's mouth rose slightly.

At this moment, his health value has reached 1%, and he is at the critical point of checkmate, and at the same time, the ten spasmodic fingers of the female corpse have been attached to Lu Yuan's forehead, and the cold chill penetrates the bones, almost freezing Lu Yuan's brain into a lump of ice.

At this juncture, Lu Yuan did not panic at all, he directly interrupted the voice next to his ear and shouted-"I! Self! Head! ”

Forehead...... All right...... No one knew why he shouted these inexplicable words at this time, but he just shouted by pulling his neck, and what was even more amazing was that at the moment after these words were blurted out, a violent dizziness rushed into Lu Yuan's mind.

Everything around you became like ink mixed together...... Spinning wildly, the objects in front of me disappeared, and in turn rushed into my ears the whistling traffic and the noisy noise.

"Wow————"

Lu Yuan didn't come to his senses before he felt a churn in his stomach, and then, a cavity of vomit squirted out of his mouth.

After that, after a full 10 seconds, Lu Yuan finally saw the situation around him clearly.

At this time, the chill was still there, but the villagers in front of me were gone, and I was no longer in that old apartment, but leaning in a phone booth on a street corner. As for the dizziness in his head, it was obviously a drunken reaction, and this dizziness was exactly the same as the dizziness at the beginning of the dungeon.

I lowered my head, and my feet were covered with drunken vomit, and there was a strong, pungent smell that smelled the same as in the bedroom.

At the edge of the line of sight, a spider is quietly crawling in the corner of the telephone booth, slowly tending to its cobwebs, and below that, there is a small advertisement that can be seen everywhere on the street, and on the cover, a long-haired woman in white clothes is secretly sending autumn waves to the noisy street. The traffic behind him drove by, winding up the night wind, bringing bursts of biting coolness, just like the corpse chill emitted by the female corpse.

Lu Yuan smiled, all this was really as he thought......

As mentioned in the initial synopsis of the dungeon, he plays a drunk who has just walked out of a bar.

And in fact, he was indeed the drunkard who was lying in the corner and vomiting, he was always wandering the streets, always drunk, and never left.

There is no murderous house, there are no monsters, and everything that is terrifying is just the drunken conjecture of a drunkard who combines what he sees and hears in front of him.

It's like a dream......

Of course, if you look at this setting from the perspective of the 'game' itself, it's not as simple as 'dream'. Because at the beginning of the design of this dungeon, there should have been two ways to clear the level.

The first is the route that most players will choose———— use their combat strength and weapons to kill those two hostile NPCs, and after that, players will find the key to open the apartment on the body of one of the NPCs, and then the dungeon will naturally be cleared.

The second is a completely opposite path, not focusing on combat, relying on decryption to clear the level, the key point is that under the attack of the two fellows, hold on until the phone is answered, and then say the key word that you want to 'surrender'.

In this way, you can get rid of your drunken imagination and come to a deeper plot.

As for why you shouted 'turn yourself in'...... That was naturally inferred from the clues in the dungeon.

Under Lu Yuan's combing, this copy should tell a story like this:

First of all, the player plays as an office worker, a few years ago, his wife gave birth to a daughter for him, the one in the photo, at the beginning, life was quite happy, however, the wife's sudden serious illness, in a very short period of time, spent all the family's savings.

After that, the player takes on the role of a character who is mired in one of the most frightening quagmires in society, with loans, jobs, a daughter waiting to be fed, and a seriously ill wife, which quickly cripples the protagonist's body and mind.

Finally, under various pressures, the protagonist collapses, and that day, he quietly leaves the home and locks the door of the apartment.

The apartment was old, and there were no neighbors around, so his wife and daughter were imprisoned...... After that, it's just like the one drawn in that graffiti.

The wife committed suicide in the apartment.

Maybe before she died, the wife didn't want her daughter to witness her death, maybe she was afraid that seeing her daughter in front of her would make her desperate to die, in short, the mother locked her daughter who was only a few years old in the bedroom before she rushed to death in despair......

I don't know how long later, the protagonist of the story, out of conscience, or whatever reason, returns to the apartment, and when he opens the apartment door, all he sees is a hanging corpse, a locked door, a bloody scratch on the door, and a picture of rotting insects and maggots in the bedroom.

All of this was deeply engraved in his mind.

For a long time after that, although the protagonist somehow escaped punishment, this image can never be forgotten, and it will appear in his imagination in various ways, such as in dreams, such as drunkenness.

Finally, the protagonist can't stand the condemnation in his heart after being drunk again, so he drags his drunken body to a phone booth and dials the police station.

In the midst of the busy waiting sound of "beep~beep~", the protagonist sees a spider, sees the white-clothed model in the advertisement, hears the noise and screams on the street, and the cold wind on the road.

All of this, uncontrollably through the urge of alcohol, was woven into the picture that tortured him to death.

......

Lu Yuan held on to the glass of the phone booth, his mind was still drunk, he knew that he had not drunk, and this dizziness was just an illusion implanted in his brain by the game system.

However, it felt so real, and in retrospect, everything I had just experienced in the 'drunk' world was so real.

So, are those two fellows real?

Thinking of this question, Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh, because they only exist in the drunken thoughts of an alcoholic, and this drunkard himself is not real.

"Hahaha————"

The corners of his mouth turned into a laugh without scruples, and with the help of alcohol, Lu Yuan was lying in the phone booth and vomiting, the liquor mixed with the food sprayed on the glass in front of him, and slowly flowed down in a sticky and disgusting attitude, and several passers-by passed by and looked at the drunk man with a disgusted look.

"Hey! Are you real? Lu Yuan shouted through the glass, frightened passers-by and fled quickly.

And that's when ...... In front of Lu Yuan's eyes, a menu appeared out of thin air.

【Main Quest: Leave】

He looked at the word 'leave', and now, he finally knew why the quest for this dungeon was so ambiguous, because you left more than just the murderous mansion......

Lu Yuan wiped the vomit from the corner of his mouth, turned around, leaned on the glass, and walked out of the phone booth......

The moment his foot stepped out of the phone booth, a checkmark was immediately placed on the back of the [Main Quest], and at the same time, a voice rang out immediately

"Congratulations, you have left the phone booth and successfully cleared the dungeon"

"After 10 seconds, you will be teleported"

“10......”

“9......”

Lu Yuan quietly looked at the traffic in front of him, waiting for the end of the countdown.

As the number continued to decrease, the scene in front of him became more and more blurred, and gradually, everything disappeared, including the drunkenness in Lu Yuan's mind......

He found that he had returned to his personal space, and his image and clothes had all been restored to their original state.

"I see, that's how it feels." Lu Yuan looked at his hands and muttered.

Immediately after, he saw that a string of text appeared on the display screen in front of him.

[Congratulations, you have cleared the customs]

【Clearing Rewards】

【......】

【Your overall evaluation:S】

【Bonus XP: 500】

【Reward Gold: 60】

"Huh~" Lu Yuan sighed lightly, although this was his first copy, but because he had read posts on the Internet for two days and one night before, he knew very well that for a junior ordinary copy, the reward for clearing customs was generally about 200 experience points, plus 20 to 30 points of money. The reward you get now is almost twice as much as the normal reward for clearing the game.

This reward is very generous.,But it's also as it should be.,After all, it's not a simple thing to hit the S-level rating.,Take this copy as an example.,When the player sees a monster rushing at you.,The first reaction must be to fight back.,How can anyone be stupid and let the other party be beaten up.,While being beaten.,You have to look for clues all over the room.。

Of course, it can't be said that no one has done this, but those people basically deliberately went to brush the S-level score, and Lu Yuan is different...... He really can't beat it.

So without further ado, after settling the 400 points of experience, on the big screen, an experience bar appeared, and the blue trail of experience displayed above quickly climbed, rushing directly from 10% of level 1 to the top, reaching level 2, and then ...... It broke through the entire level 2 with ferocity, reaching 20% of level 3.

Lu Yuan watched his rocket-like level rise up, and couldn't help scratching his head, thinking that this feeling was much stronger than the previous F-level rating.

And as the level climbed, on the screen, the physical fitness marked with landing distance also increased slightly.

However, in the 'Ark', there is no strength, speed and other points, although these attributes also have corresponding values, but they cannot be customized at will.

This setting is easy to explain, because the player's attributes are a whole, for example, if a person's strength is very high, then his muscles must be very developed, and under the drive of this developed muscle, his ability to resist attacks will definitely not be weak.

As in other games, agile players tend to be emaciated and light...... And this kind of image is basically nonsense, because without high-intensity muscle training, it is impossible for a person to burst out with a fast speed just by being 'thin'.

Therefore, the player attributes in the ark are all after a long period of calculation and deduction, specially formulated for the player's growth route, if a person wants to take the 'tank route', they have to hold a heavy shield, resist the front line of attack, a player who has never held a gun, unless you are a person who plays with guns in reality, otherwise, even if you are high, you cannot directly become a sniper.

Lu Yuan looked at his level, as well as the [61] money in the treasury, nodded with satisfaction, and was wondering, should he go to the store to see if there were any weapons, he didn't want to let the fellow chase and beat him with his bare hands like in the last dungeon.

But just as I thought of this, the screen in front of me flashed again, and an image of a gift bag tied with a bow suddenly appeared.

[Since you received an S-level rating in the previous dungeon, you will receive a random reward from the system]

[Rewards include but are not limited to: gold, equipment, experience, skills, etc.]

[Number of lotteries: 1]

Lu Yuan looked at the glowing gift on the screen, and he didn't hesitate in surprise, and immediately reached out and clicked on the pattern.

Free prizes, there's no reason not to.

However, the moment his finger touched the gift.

There was a burst of dizziness at 'Whew', and Lu Yuan only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he lost consciousness in an instant......
