Volume 1 Snake Dream Chapter 3 The Gray Snake Tower
It felt like a long time, and it felt like it was only a moment, and when I woke up, I found myself lying on the cold ground.
"Cold ...... How can it be so cold? I shivered as I got up from the ground.
Once I was fully grounded, I quickly looked around, but it was so dark that no matter how wide my eyes were, I couldn't see my surroundings clearly.
"Where is this, how is it so gray? Am I dreaming? "I had a look of confusion on my face.
The next moment, the explosion hit my brain, and I remembered everything.
"I successfully started the snake man recording mission, and then a piercing sound sounded, and I fainted."
"It seems that something strange happened during the time I was unconscious." Looking at the gray world around me, I fell into deep thought.
But the contemplation soon ended, and I turned my gaze to my left hand.
At this moment, I am holding a very thick and worn book in my left hand, which is the "Snake Man Record" that caused all this.
"The book is still here." I muttered a sentence and flipped the book to the end page.
The conversations on the last page had vanished, with a new line of blood-red letters written on them.
[Snake Man Recording Task (Probationary Mission) (Started, Not Completed)]
[Task requirements: To understand the secrets buried in the snake tower for a hundred years and successfully eliminate the resentment of the resentful spirits, all must be completed]
[Quest completion rewards: The Shining Puppet, the blood of the broken snake man, and the physical bookstore in the real world, you can only choose one of the three rewards, and you can't choose more than one, note: If you succeed in the mission, you will automatically return to the real world]
[Punishment for mission failure: Erase the life of Liang Fan, the tenth bookstore administrator of the horror bookstore, and re-select the tenth horror bookstore administrator]
[Quest Hint: Have you ever seen a spliced body?] The spliced body is the most beautiful]
At the end of the newly appeared blood-red letter, it is also stamped with a red square seal, and the words "Horror Bookstore" are engraved in the square seal.
"It seems that everything is not a dream, it is real, I must complete the task as required, understand the secrets buried in the snake tower for a hundred years, and eliminate the resentment of the resentful spirits......" I shook my head helplessly, and soon, I realized something, and was shocked: "Wait, understand the secrets in the snake tower?" So I'm still in the Snake Tower? ”
I immediately moved through the ashes, and taking advantage of my limited vision, I found myself still in the snake building, and in room 504 where I lived!
"That passage says that the task will automatically return to the real world after completion, which means that this snake building is not the real world, what kind of world is this?" Filled with doubts, I moved to the window and looked out.
The outside of the snake tower is also gray, and it is not clear at all.
"Maybe the outside of the Snake Tower is as prosperous as usual, but there is a mysterious force that separates the real world from the world of the Snake Tower, so all I see is a gray expanse." I secretly analyzed it, but soon I gave up thinking about it, because I didn't know anything about the world, and no amount of thought was in vain.
"Let's think about how to complete the task, otherwise the life will be lost, the task requirements mention the ghost, there is really a legendary ghost ghost here?" I sighed, left the window, and sat down on the edge of the bed.
At this moment, the atheism that I have believed in for more than 20 years is constantly crumbling in my heart.
I can't help but believe in ghosts and gods, and the fact that I'm down to where I am today is the best evidence, and it seems that I have to be careful, otherwise I won't even know how to die.
"One thing to note, the snake man record task is marked as a probationary task, which means that there is a regular period task later?" I used my imagination to guess what was contained in this passage, which I needed so badly.
"Also, what does this quest reward mean? So when I complete the mission, I get these strange rewards? The Shining's dolls, the blood of the ruined snake people, a real-world bookstore, these rewards sound incredibly strange, but do horror bookstores really have these things? "As time went by, I felt like the temperature in the room was getting colder and colder, and the air was about to freeze.
"It's about minus 15 degrees Celsius." I let out a secret sigh, quickly retracted my thoughts, and went to the closet to wrap up some thick clothes.
The Southwest University I studied is in the southwest of Xicheng, Xicheng is like spring all year round, even in winter, it rarely falls below zero, but this snake tower world is so cold, it's really strange.
"Looks like something has changed." I put my hands in my pockets to dispel the cold.
"The temperature of snake hibernation is minus 15 degrees Celsius, does this have anything to do with the temperature drop of the snake building? It seems that this snake man record mission will involve the legendary snake man, which is good news in bad news for me. ”
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, indeed, if this quest was related to snake people, then I would be able to get a lot of snake people secrets, and when the time came, I would be able to finish writing my paper on snake people.
"The premise is that I can return to the real world alive, but I will definitely return to the real world as well!" A hint of fortitude rose in my heart.
Although I was born in a wealthy family, my parents were company owners, and I was carefree since I was a child, but I have always insisted on living independently, and in terms of perseverance, I am much less than a child from a poor family.
With everything in mind, I'm ready to open the door and explore the Snake Tower as required by the mission to see what I can find.
But no sooner had I pressed my hand on the doorknob than there was a dull knock.
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"
The silence in the snake tower was broken, and endless panic rose in my heart!
I carefully recognized the knock and found that the door being knocked on was my own door!
"Is there anyone else in the Snake Tower?"
My mind was in a mess, I thought I was the only one in the snake tower world, but now there are suddenly other people, which means that my danger will be doubled.
"Who could it be?" Despite my fear, I subconsciously lowered my snort and pretended that there was no one in the room.
Seeing that no one responded, the knock outside the door became louder and louder, and an impatient voice came: "Pretty boy in room 504, are you there?" There is a power outage in the building today, so remember not to walk around. ”
I know this voice, it is the voice of Zhang Tao, the landlord of the Snake Building.
"In my memory, Zhang Tao has always been a good person, usually speaking kindly, why is his tone so bad today?" I frowned and thought to myself, but when I thought about it, I still didn't respond, and pressed the door to prevent Zhang Tao from breaking in.
