Chapter 1: The Game
Lu Yuan opened his eyes.
A blinding ray of light shot straight into his pupils, forcing him to close his eyes again.
β...... Where am I? β
Like all people who have just woken up, there is such a question in his head.
And the next second, he remembered the answer.
"Oh, by the way, I'm still in the 'game'."
......
[Ark].
This is the name of the 'game' in Lu Yuan's mouth.
It's a virtual reality game.,It's the kind that you can bring your consciousness to the game as long as you enter the game warehouse.γ A long, long time ago, this type of game appeared in the setting of various novels and anime.
And one day about 100 years ago, this kind of game really came out, and in a very short time, it occupied almost 99% of the game market, becoming almost the only game in the world.
Lu Yuan, naturally, is also one of the players in this game.
In his still dizzy memory, he remembered that he was brushing a solo copy called [Horror Hospital], but when he was halfway through the fight, he lost consciousness with a sharp pain in the back of his head, and when he woke up, it was like this.
With such a memory, I should have been knocked on a sticks from behind by someone.
"What the hell?" Lu Yuan muttered unhappily, and then narrowed his eyelids, leaving only a small gap.
In this way, he can barely see his surroundings clearly.
It's a room similar to an 'operating room', but neither the dirty walls nor the shadowless lamp overhead, or even the dried bloodstains, are by no means up to the standard of an operating room. Moreover, in the corner of the operating room, there is a machine that does not fit in with this room. At first glance, the machine was built up with all kinds of waste parts, and the volume occupied the entire wall, and I don't know what it was used for.
As for Lu Yuan himself, he was being tied up at the moment, but instead of being tied to the operating table, he was tied to a chair, his hands and feet were firmly fixed, and even his head could barely turn from side to side. Just this image made him subconsciously think of the tragic characters in the movie who were waiting to be tortured and punished.
And behind him, it is also very appropriate, from time to time there are some clanging metal collision sounds, it is not difficult to guess that there must be a person at this moment, who is in his blind spot, fiddling with some gadgets that make people's scalp tingle.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a burst of fear in his heart, although he knew that these were all virtual, but with the scene in front of him, it was difficult for anyone not to be frightened. So he quickly recited 'I'm in the game, I'm in the game' a few times, and then he barely suppressed the panic in his heart.
Subsequentlyβ
"Hey, let go of me!" Lu Yuan strengthened his courage and roared.
With this voice, the guy in his blind spot was obviously stunned for a moment...... Because the grinding of the metal stopped.
Immediately after, a few unhurried footsteps approached him. ...... A person finally appeared in Lu Yuan's sight.
It was a bloodless and thin face, no original color was visible on the white coat, oil and blood stains were mixed indiscriminately on it, and the hair was a mess, not so much a doctor as a slaughterhouse employee.
The man removed the shadowless lamp that shone obliquely above his head, and stared straight at Lu Yuan with a pair of bloodshot red eyes.
Lu Yuan swallowed his saliva and hurriedly threw a skill called [Detection] at this person.
This skill can check the properties of a person or item within a certain range, and almost all players will learn this skill.
Soon, Lu Yuan got the information of this person.
[Name: Mad Doctor]
[Type: Humanoid]
[Rank: Normal]
[Level: 12]
[Introduction: This is a doctor with some mental problems, when you see him for the first time, you should be able to determine this, so there is no need to communicate with him too much, kill him, and then take the experience points you deserve, fuck off!] γ
Lu Yuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "One ...... A mob? β
Obviously, this guy is just an ordinary hostile mob, the kind of thing that is commonly known as 'giving experience'. However, the appearance of this terrifying person, this operating room that has been transformed into a torture room, and this insidious attribute that will knock a stuffy stick from behind, this guy doesn't look like an ordinary enemy no matter how you look at it.
Casual, although there are some doubts, but Lu Yuan's body is not idle, he has been trying to break free from the shackles of the chair from the beginning, and after learning that the other party is just a little monster, the struggle is even more unscrupulous, until the chair creaks.
"Well, it seems you're in good spirits......" Suddenly, the doctor spoke, as if the axle of a rusty car had turned again.
Lu Yuan would ignore the other party, still swaying his body fiercely.
"Don't waste your strength, if the people who were much stronger than you before didn't break free, you can't do it anymore." The doctor continued.
"Huh?" Lu Yuan was stunned again: "Before? β
"Yes, before...... I tied up a total of 27 people before, but the experiments failed, so you have to do your best. β
Lu Yuan was a little confused, he easily caught the few unsettling words in the other party's words, such as 'experiment', 'failure', and 'come on', but he didn't have time to think about what these words meant, he just wanted to break free from the shackles on his body now, and at the same time, he sprayed the maker of this copy hundreds of times in his heart.
As for the little doctor monster, he saw that Lu Yuan didn't take care of himself, and he didn't get angry, but just quietly left Lu Yuan's sight...... And when he came back again, he still had a bottle in his hand.
Immediately after, he put his finger into the bottle, dipped the liquid inside, and began to wipe it on Lu Yuan's head.
"! What are you doing! Lu Yuan scolded.
"Oh oh ~ don't be nervous." The doctor reassured, "It's just a little salt water." β
"You...... What are you doing with salt water on my head?! β
"Well, this ~ of course it's so that when the power is turned on for a while, the current through your head can be evened out a little." The doctor replied calmly, "You know, if the current is too concentrated, it is likely to be scorched......
"...... current? Burnt ......? Lu Yuan's mind buzzed, and he finally understood that what he was fucking tied up was simply an electric chair!
"Bastards - bastards! Let me go! He shouted out in a snort, stuttered a little bit, and shook his body wildly. However, as the doctor said just now, he couldn't break free at all.
After struggling like this for a while, Lu Yuan suddenly came to his senses......
"Well, what the hell am I nervous about...... Am I not in the game?! β
It may be that this scene is too terrifying, and Lu Yuan was so frightened that he forgot about it for a while.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly called up the game menu in his mind, and pressed the [Exit Dungeon] button. As the name suggests, this option allows players to quit the game anytime and anywhere, of course, there will be some corresponding penalties for quitting halfway, such as deducting experience points or money, but Lu Yuan was really scared by this dungeon, he can't care about these now, just want to get out of here quickly.
However...... After he clicked [Exit]......
Nothing happened.
"What are you doing?!" Lu Yuan muttered in his heart, and then clicked out again.
But everything around him still hasn't changed, he is still tied to the electric chair, and the lights above his head still reflect his frightened face, but the huge machine stacked next to the wall, I don't know when, has begun to operate, and all kinds of signal lights are flickering wildly.
The doctor glanced back at the pile of machines, then at Lu Yuan, and a wicked smile bloomed on his face.
"Don't bother it...... You...... Can't get out. β
