Chapter 44: A Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night

"Have you ever heard the name Melgades?"

Qin Feng's expression suddenly became serious.

In the past few days, he has heard the term "Melgades" a little too much, no matter how he says it.

In the [Evil Spirit Castle] novice mission, Qin Feng accidentally unlocked the seal of a super pollution source, and then the pollution source told Qin Feng that his name was "Melgades"; In the Labyrinth, William says that his ability to drag people into the "Labyrinth World" was given by a man called "Wizard", and that wizard's power was given by "Melgades"; In this copy of [Sakura Town], a local fictional chaebol "Dagong Group" from anime works actually sent strange black-clothed soldiers, and according to them, they released the black shadow on the ground at the behest of "Melgades......

Melgades ...... What is it?

Everything is like a line network diagram in a criminal investigation film, sorted in Qin Feng's extraordinary brain. All the wrong, all the confusion, are connected by a spider's web to the only central point:

Melgades.

"Melgades ......"

As soon as Qin Feng asked, Wang Lu lowered his head and repeated the treacherous term, and then raised his head with some uncertainty with a complicated expression: "Brother Qin Feng, do you know the 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walk'?" ”

"Yes."

Qin Feng nodded, his expression strange.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the world was not yet unified, and the fairy and monster culture of the Celestial Empire was introduced to Dongying, and with the evolution of time, it finally became their unique culture with a strong atmosphere of the Celestial Empire: in the Heian period, it is said that there were hundreds of ghosts at night, hurting people's lives. Later, this legend even infiltrated into painting and literature, and in modern times, there are even anime works related to it, among which the famous ones are "The Grandson of the Slippery Ghost" and "Natsume's Friend's Account......

Qin Feng is a screenwriter of horror films, although not many of the scripts he wrote were filmed, he still wrote a lot of scripts. One of the scripts, with its explicit use of the legend of the night walk of a hundred ghosts, depicts the story of a murderer who kills a hundred girls in modern times......

Qin Feng even wanted to use that script to seriously explore the beauty of "mourning" in Dongying culture, what kind of life, philosophy and other things are embodied...... But as soon as the script came out, all the directors gave him a vote to reject it, on the grounds that if the whole film was filmed, it would theoretically kill 100 girls in 15 hours and 38 minutes......

So Qin Feng neatly compared the middle finger to those directors, and after leaving a sentence of "The Bird's Nest Knows the Ambition of the Bird", he threw away the manuscript; And the directors also pointed at his back, exchanged glances with each other, and decided that if they used this arrogant psychopathic screenwriter in the future, they would only give one-third of the manuscript fee.

Well, well, that's a bit of a stretch.

In short, Qin Feng understood that the "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking" that Wang Lu said did not refer to the "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking" culture of Dongying. Not at all, not even the edges.

Wang Lu's "Hundred Ghosts Night Walk" refers to a temporary forum that was built urgently.

A temporary forum between the contestants.

The time spent by Devil Gamers on quests is not reflected in the real world. To put it simply, Qin Feng entered the devil's game at 23:51, and after Qin Feng finished the [Labyrinth] and ended the two dungeon tasks of [Sakura Town], he returned to the real world, or that time, not a second passed.

This is true for Qin Feng, this is also true for Su Qiqiao, and for Wang Lu and Zhang Heng...... For all the Devil Games contestants, this is true.

Even if they're going to spend a day in this [Sakura Town] dungeon, that's the case.

So just yesterday, the contestants finished their rookie quest and got a 24-hour real-world break. About three hours later, the government began to make announcements in all information media, reassuring people and saying that they should not panic......

Then 12 hours later, that is, at noon today, an online forum called "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking" and its own APP advertisements swept all the information media around the world, including but not limited to Weibo, Facebook, QQ, Skype...... Oh, and even this kind of fiction site has not escaped the advertising poison of "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking......

The logo of the Hyakki Nocturnal Forum is a round black bottom with a simple gray demon avatar on it, grinning.

This logo became famous all over the world at once.

The LED advertising boards on all taxis around the world have become "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking"; All the advertisements before the movie is shown in all cinemas around the world have become "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking"; In the advertising segments of all TV stations around the world, there are "100 ghosts walking at night......

Some of its advertising slogans are more serious, saying that it is "the only online communication forum for devil game participants in the world." ”

Some of them are very funny, such as "Start with a dog, and the equipment is all by drawing - teach you how to win in the devil's game!" Or "Shocked! The man accidentally got this and used it to do it! Men see silence, women see tears! ”

Propaganda is simply useless......

Well, let's think, in the real world, what agency can make such a big move?

Earth Federation.

The Earth Federation still can't ignore this kind of thing like the devil game. It only took more than a dozen hours of reaction time for the Earth Federation to decide to unite the contestants on the information level...... As a result, the "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking" forum was launched.

In one time, it only took 20 minutes, and the number of registrations for the "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking" forum reached ...... Two and three billion.

Whether it is the online forum of Baigui Night Walk or the forum APP of Baigui Night Walking, they all use the ID card verification system for registration, and each ID card can only register one account. The total number of participants in the devil's game is only 300 million, and the remaining two billion people are all ordinary people with curiosity.

This number is constantly increasing. Before Qin Feng entered the dungeon world, the number of registered users of the Hundred Ghost Night Walk had already broken through the number of registered users of any social networking site in the world, reaching an incredible sixty-one billion!

"Of course I know about the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk," Qin Feng shook his head, "That federally supported online forum, right?" I guess all the discussion and communication of the users is eavesdropped there, and the Federation has become the group that knows the devil's game best. I registered that thing, and then used someone else's ID card to get a few numbers, but I didn't speak, just browsed their speech records...... What are you trying to say? ”

"What I want to say is that En......" Wang Lu scratched his head, "I think I saw the entry 'Melgades' there." ”
