Chapter 72: Midnight Bell
In a building two streets away from the hotel where Buyu and the others lived, more than a dozen corpses lay in the living room.
Two men and three women stood in the middle of the group of corpses, covered in blood.
"It's not bad, although these guys are not very strong, but there are four players, and they have dropped something that can be used!"
A tall man among the five said with a light smile.
"Piza, all the people who should have been killed have been killed, shouldn't you also send us the mission information for this dungeon?"
Ella said lightly.
Hearing this, Pizza didn't speak, and directly sent the system message to the team channel.
"System prompt: Your team arrives in the designated area within the specified time to start the first phase of the quest."
"System prompt: The first stage of the task is opened, and the task will be randomly distributed ......"
"System prompt: The random task was successful, and the background of the first stage of the task was introduced: Shizuko, a special functioner, met and married Dr. Heihachiro Ikuma, and was pregnant with a daughter named Sadako. One year after her marriage, Shizuko predicted a volcanic eruption, but was mistaken for a youkai.
Because of the sarcasm of the media, Shizuko committed suicide after going crazy, and Sadako also inherited Shizuko's special abilities, and was regarded as a monster by Heihachiro Ikuma, threw it into a deep well, and then committed suicide herself.
The image of Sadako being thrown into a deep well by Heihachiro Ikuma was recorded by his mind and made into a video full of resentment, and legend has it that after watching the tape, people will receive a mysterious phone call, and only two vague and eerie words came from the other end of the phone: "Seven days ......"
"System prompt: Pass the condition: find Sadako's body and bury it. And find the mysterious videotape, copy it, and show it to anyone. The task duration is 49 hours, and if the task is not completed after 49 hours, the task will be judged as a failure. “
"System Prompt: Please use the fastest speed to find the key person shown in the photo below, and ensure his safety, and follow the key person prompt to find Sadako's body and the mysterious video!
If the clue character dies before the clue character is found, the mission will be judged to have failed!
If the clue character dies during the mission, the mission will be judged to be a failure!
If the mission fails, the player or team will be forcibly teleported out of the dungeon area, and a penalty dungeon will be assigned based on the system's comprehensive calculation. ”
Underneath the message, there is also a photo of a middle-aged woman, looking at her appearance, she should be around thirty years old, and around her neck, there is also a camera and a work card.
I can vaguely see the name written on the work card: Asakawa. XX TV reporter.
"It's ...... Midnight bells? ”
Lizzie's eyes froze, and she whispered.
"Obviously, yes! ...... But judging from the task, we shouldn't have a chance to meet Sadako.
And there shouldn't be any danger along the way. Of course, if no other team is messing around. ”
Pizza said with a light smile.
"Really? I don't think so! ”
Sassgard, who had not spoken, suddenly retorted.
"Huh? What did you find? ”
Hearing this, Piza restrained the smile on her face, and her expression gradually became serious.
"The original words in the quest are that if we find the clue character, the clue character dies. Then the mission is considered a failure. If the clue character dies during the mission, the mission is considered a failure.
This shows that during the mission, the clue character may die, so the question arises, what exactly will kill her?
According to the information released by the system, the tasks in the first stage are all released randomly, and since our mission is a separate horror movie plot, the tasks obtained by other teams may also be this kind of separate movie plot missions.
In other words, there is no competition between us, so what else threatens the lives of the clue characters? The biggest possibility is the boss from the original movie...... Sadako! ”
"And according to the mission description, we need to protect this clue character called Asakawa to search for Sadako's body and the mysterious videotape, so in the process of searching, we can easily come into contact with other teams, and of course, we may also encounter the gatekeepers that other teams will face.
Therefore, the danger of this task may not be as simple as you think! ”
Sasgard said with a serious face.
The expressions of the crowd also became extremely difficult to look at.
......
Nothing happened that night in the hotel, and everyone slept peacefully, except, of course, silence.
As the leader of the team, everyone else can relax and sleep peacefully, but he can't. Of course, as a zombie, he doesn't need to rest.
The next morning, everyone woke up one after another, went to the ramen restaurant opposite to eat ramen, bought two newspapers, and returned to the hotel.
"This mission doesn't seem to be as scary as I imagined! Nothing happened that night, and now it's the next day, and as long as we hold on for six days, we're done! ”
Lori took out an apple and said while eating.
"Nothing happened? You're thinking so much! ”
The royal sister glanced at Lori and said lightly. And handed her a copy of the newspaper he bought.
"On September 4, 20xx, at 10:15 p.m., two male bodies were found at the entrance of Ueno Park, and the identity of the deceased was unknown.
When found, both deceased persons showed a twisted expression of extreme fright, and one of them had his right arm twisted into a twisted shape, and the other had both leg bones completely gone, and the neck showed a lilac strangulation mark!
At 6:15 this morning, three bodies were found on the streets of Shibuya, the deceased were two men and a woman, all three showed an extremely frightened expression, the woman was naked, no obvious injuries were found, and the two men found a large number of mouse remains in the chest cavity, and there were no obvious injuries on the body surface!
After a preliminary investigation, no signs of a fight were found at the scene, and witnesses claimed to have seen the two men and a woman running through the streets of Shibuya, shouting as if they were being chased by someone, but strangely, witnesses did not notice anyone behind them.
At present, the case is under further investigation.
xx Morning Post, Reporter: xxx.xxxx. ”
"This ...... There are no photos either, so we can't be sure that the people who died were going to complete our mission! ”
Lori frowned and whispered.
"It's not for sure, but at least it's possible! And...... Since it is a randomly assigned task, the difficulty of each task should not be much different.
Even if none of the five dead were our people, it would be enough to get our attention! ”
The royal sister said lightly.
Hearing this, Lori nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.
"Sister Yu is right, these are indeed enough to attract our attention.
And...... These five people are not all dead!
I've been turning on the radar system since I entered the dungeon yesterday, and from yesterday to now, the red dots on the radar representing the enemy and the dungeon monster have disappeared by nearly a hundred.
Obviously, these vanishing red dots can't be the dungeon monsters they represent, so this indicates that at least hundreds of Awakened Ones or players have been eliminated by now.
In addition, there are only eighteen of the twenty-five green dots representing teammates, and five have disappeared after removing the two that were killed by that player yesterday!
That is, the five dead mentioned in the newspaper are most likely our people! ”
said with a serious expression......
