Chapter 222: Welcome to the Dark Zhi Residence
Suspended in the cold and silent darkness, Tang Juyi quietly waited for the start of this dimensional mission.
[Warning: This dimension quest has been changed to Nightmare difficulty for unknown reasons]
[Warning 2: This dimensional task must strictly follow the mission rules]
[Warning 3: This dimensional quest does not follow the basic laws of extradimensionality, that is, there may be a mortal situation during the quest]
Three warning messages appeared in Tang Juyi's mind one after another.
"It's a nightmare, but you can take care of me......"
With a strong resentment, Tang Juyi also complained about the difficulty level of this dimensional task.
For the second warning, Tang Juyi paid a little attention, although he realized that something was wrong, but he didn't know why he deliberately emphasized "following the rules of the task".
"After all, it's the world of Dark Zhiju, and no matter what, it's always right to be cautious."
Thinking of this, Tang Juyi also focused on the third warning prompt.
Unlike the first two, the third directly points out the special feature of this dimensional mission - the basic laws of the extradimensional do not apply in this dimensional world.
For a long time, many of the tasks that Tang Juyi has experienced have basically implemented the hidden iron laws of the extra-dimensional, such as "the risk and return are equal", "there is always an optimal solution in theory" and so on.
Needless to say, the risk and reward are what difficulty of the task corresponds to what difficulty of the reward, which is the truth that elementary school students can understand.
As for "theoretically there is always an optimal solution", it means that no matter how incredible the content of the task may seem, there will always be a perfect process for completing the task according to the detached person's own situation.
Just like in the principal's playground, it seems that it is impossible for you to break free from the rope that is firmly secure, but there is a hidden element "light bulb fragments" that can be used, which is also a similar meaning.
However, this is not the case with this dimensional mission.
"There is a possibility of death-defying situations during the mission...... Oh, it's really undisguised as dangerous. ”
Tang Juyi sneered in his heart, of course he understood what the reason was.
When the basic laws of the extradimensional dimension no longer apply, it means that Tang Juyi may suffer some kind of death-defying plot kill because of bad luck, the kind that cannot escape no matter what.
"It's no wonder that being so generous in the world of the Asylum has so easily given me a soul chip that can replace a life...... It turned out that he had already prepared for me to die. ”
Although the content of this warning seems unreasonable, Tang Juyi was relieved when he thought of the worldview of the world in which this mission took place:
"After all, it's the world of Dark Zhiju...... That place where there are more ghosts than people. ”
I have to introduce it here, as a narrative of the story in the form of a comic book, and the painting style is full of weird artistic atmosphere of film and television works, "Dark Zhiju" can be said to be a strong stroke in the island country's horror animation.
"Dark Zhiju" is composed of short stories one after another, each with a different protagonist, telling the horror stories experienced by people from all walks of life in the island city.
Why is each one a different protagonist? Some people have already guessed it, yes, because in the vast majority of cases, the protagonist of the story basically ends in death.
Rather than calling it "Dark Zhiju", it is more appropriate to call it "10,000 Spiritual Death Methods in the Island Country".
These stories come from all kinds of folklore, religious beliefs, or urban weird tales, and are 100% related to the supernatural, and almost every chapter will pop up a "remnant of feudal superstition" that is enough to make the veterans of the Radio and Television Bureau angry.
After watching the first few series of works of Dark Zhiju, Tang Juyi was deeply immersed in gloomy psychological autism, but also glad that he was born in the happy and harmonious land of China.
————
[Dimensional World]: Dark Zhiju

[Difficulty]: Nightmare

[Reward]: Unknown
[Failure Penalty]: Unknown
[Comprehensive Evaluation]: Even if you have two lives, you can't escape ten deaths, right?
————
Different from the previous dimensional tasks, this time the task-related content appeared directly in Tang Juyi's mind, without telling the background.
After perceiving the abnormality of this mission, Tang Juyi also complained casually:
"Why is the backstory introduced? It's irresponsible to omit the beginning of that classic horror movie, right? ”
In the next second, a prompt message crushed all Tang Juyi's remaining relaxed emotions:
[Due to the interference of some terrifying force, all your abilities are in a state of ban, and your physical fitness has returned to the level of a normal person]
At this moment, Tang Juyi's face became a little unsightly:
"Hey, hey, what's this? This world is already dangerous enough, and you still have to play this kind of operation? ”
A strong feeling of weakness came to him, Tang Juyi only felt as if his body had been emptied, a large amount of strength and vitality began to pass rapidly, and even the evil seed in his body was suppressed in some way and could no longer play a role.
It was as if a gray veil was covering his eyes, his vision suddenly blurred, and Tang Juyi's mind was also suddenly drowsy, making his keen perception weaken rapidly, and his spiritual power also fell to an extremely low level.
At this time, Tang Juyi was almost no different from when he carried out his first dimensional mission. All his hole cards have been reduced to nothing under inexplicable restrictions.
Without a strong body that can split the ground by stomping his feet, and without a keen and clear sense of yin qi, he has lost his strong spiritual power.
"Really?!"
Tang Juyi was terrified for a while, and the uneasiness in his heart also climbed to an extremely high level.
The power of the curse disappeared, the prison bones in the body could not be awakened, and even the [Infernal Pupil] and the [Eye of Truth] could not be perceived, as if they had been cut off by something.
[Your storage space is shrouded in strange forces and cannot be used]
Hearing this prompt, Tang Juyi's face was even more ugly:
"Don't let the storage space be used?"
Trying to sense the ring in his hand, Tang Juyi also found that the ring had become an ordinary jewelry, and it could no longer be sensed in response to the space where a large number of items were stored.
"Deprived me of all abilities, allowing me to perform dimensional tasks of nightmare difficulty in this ordinary state, and still in the world of Dark Zhiju......"
After recalling the stories of Dark Zhiju and the "things" that appeared in those stories, Tang Juyi realized that the severity of the situation had completely exceeded his imagination.
At this time, the darkness surrounding Tang Juyi began to gradually fade, the perception of the body gradually recovered, and an unprecedented strangeness and coldness surged like maggots on the tarsal bones, making Tang Juyi's soul tremble.
[The story of Dark Zhiju is about to begin]
