Chapter 1: Tristram
Squatting between two rows of decaying wooden chairs, Lin Fei stared at everything in front of him.
A few seconds ago, he seemed to wake up from a dream, and the feeling was like a person who had been flustered for a while, had taken a nap, and then suddenly came back to his senses, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself in such a place.
Lin Fei was used to observing the environment for the first time in an unfamiliar place, so the first thing he did after opening his eyes was to determine where he was.
The scene of killing Wang Xinde before is still vivid, but afterwards, he was shot, and then ...... Here we are.
Lin Fei once thought that if he hadn't died, he might have appeared in the hospital ward or the cage of the police station when he woke up, but the place he was in at the moment obviously had nothing to do with these two places. As far as the eye could see, it was rotten and gloomy, and there was a musty smell in the air, which was disgusting. After glancing around, Lin Fei found that this was a very large room, and a few seconds were enough time for Lin Fei to see clearly the rows of dilapidated wooden seats around him, as well as the religious paintings and reliefs on the ceiling and glass.
"What the hell is going on?" Lin Fei recalled for a moment, but he really couldn't remember how he got here. And he touched the part where he was originally shot, and it was also intact.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
After being shot, Lin Fei once heard a voice that told him to dedicate his soul if he didn't want to die. At that time, Lin Fei vaguely remembered that he shouted loudly in his heart without any hesitation, "I am willing!" ”
And then he came to this place, apparently, it was no coincidence.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from Lin Fei's ears.
"Contract No. 1065, enter the world of 'Diablo Chapter' Act 1, Chapter 6, Scene Difficulty (Normal), since Contract No. 1065 is entering the 'Demon Chapter' for the first time, the rules will be read out for free, please record carefully......"
"Because you gave your soul to the demon, you also got a chance to be reborn, but the shadow of death has not dissipated, fortunately, there is no end in this world, the benevolent demon has left you with the necessary 'life', now, please recite the spell 'clock' and check your remaining life......"
Clock? The rest of life?
Lin Fei's mind was full of doubts, but he still tentatively read out the word 'clock' according to what the voice said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a strange clock slowly emerging in front of him, and Lin Fei was dumbfounded when he saw this clock, because at this moment, this clock was simply floating in mid-air in defiance of the rules of physics.
The clock is made entirely of bone-like substance, with dark skull decorations with sheep's horns, and could have been sold as works of art if taken to auction houses. The word '1065' was engraved on the top of the clock, which made Lin Fei have to think of the 'number' that the voice had just said.
The place where the clock displays the time is somewhat similar to an electronic watch, and Lin Fei can easily distinguish that it represents the year, month, day, hour, minute and second.
"Two hours and fifteen minutes?"
Lin Fei said silently, the clock in front of him showed that it was this time, and every second that passed, the time on the clock would decrease by one second, which was a bit similar to a countdown. Seeing the time recorded on this strange clock decreasing by second, Lin Fei's heart suddenly flashed with a hint of ominousness.
The voice just now seems to have said that the time on the clock is the rest of his life?
Then, I only have two hours and fifteen minutes to live, which is a bit ridiculous.
"Contractor, remember, in the world of the 'Demon Chapter', life is time, and time can be earned, and at the same time, time can be used as currency. Next, read the scene task prompt......"
"The main quest 'Escape from Tristram', before the time on the clock is up, follow Dekad Kane and escape from Tristram who has been invaded by demons, and the reward for completing the quest is 30 hours. Mission difficulty, average! ”
"Side quest one, 'Kill the Demon', this quest can earn 'time' by killing any demon, the time obtained is related to the level of the demon killed, in addition, you can also find valuable items in exchange for time. Mission difficulty, average! ”
"Side quest two, 'Kill Griswald', Griswald used to be a blacksmith, but the demon king 'Diablo' killed him and resurrected him as an undead, if you are strong enough, go and free this tortured and painful soul, after the task is completed, the reward is 24 hours. Mission difficulty, difficulty! ”
"As an extra hint, you can view the information of the contractor's body by silently reciting 'attributes'...... Touch the item and the target mob with your hand to view the item information and target attributes...... In addition, if the time on the clock is reset to zero, the contractor will die, and if the main quest is not completed, the clock will be forced to zero......"
"Now, Act I, Chapter 6 of the 'Demon Chapter' begins!"
After saying this, the mysterious voice disappeared. Lin Fei immediately followed the prompt and silently recited the 'attribute', and sure enough, a visualization panel appeared in front of him, with a series of information listed on it.
"Contract No. 1065, Human Blood, Male, Level 0 (24 hours to reach Level 1)"
"Health: 30, Defense 0"
"Other attributes: Strength 4 (3), Agility 6 (3), Stamina 3 (3), Intelligence 4 (3) are normal male attribute criteria in parentheses!"
"Skill: None, Class: None......"
Lin Fei could feel the sound of his heartbeat, what he had seen and heard so far was so incredible. After retracting this visualization attribute panel, Lin Fei was now sure that all this that voice said was not nonsense. Because, if it was a joke or a hoax, then no one could have done so many unbelievable things.
Then, this also means that if you don't complete the main quest according to the voice, the clock will go to zero, and you will die!
Lin Fei scratched his head, and had already made a decision in his heart. In any case, could he risk his life to test the truth of what the voice said. Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that everything that voice said is true. Therefore, in order to survive, you have to do what that voice says and complete the so-called main quest.
Lin Fei is no stranger to games. When he was studying abroad, he once participated in a research group, and this research group studied the 'ninth art', which is commonly known as the art of games.
The research team believes that games that have no background and background are only played for idiots and brain-dead, and games with huge backgrounds, settings and plots can really be called 'art' and can be included in their research topics.
These games, without exception, have their own world views, histories, backgrounds, and characters rich in character. Coincidentally, the game Diablo is one of the topics studied by the research team.
"Decad Kane is a very important character in the game Diablo, he is the last wise man of Heratium, a Heradic sage who is well versed in most of the mysterious history and knowledge, can give advice, and is a key figure who drives the development of the entire game's plot."
Lin Fei had a good memory, and Kane's basic information immediately appeared in his mind.
The main quest is to ask Lin Fei to follow Kane to escape from Tristram within the specified time. In the game, there is a similar plot, at that time, the hero controlled by the player will activate the five stone pillars in the stone field, open the portal to find the place, defeat the monster, and then save Kane.
In other words, in the next two hours or so, someone will come to rescue Kane, and he will need to catch this hitchhike and leave Tristram.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the church.
Lin Fei was stunned for a moment, then slowly walked to the door, and looked out through the crack in the door, but saw a scene that he would never forget.
Outside the church, there is a larger chapel, but the roof has collapsed and there are still raging fires in some places. In the middle of this chapel hangs a wooden cage in which a depressed old man is kept.
And under the cage, there were more than a dozen rotting zombies wandering, and what caught Lin Fei's attention was not these zombies, but a giant man who was more than two meters tall and extremely strong.
The giant man was dressed like a blacksmith, and at the moment he had a hideous face, a wide mouth and fangs, and was clearly not human.
After only one glance, Lin Fei withdrew his gaze.
He knew that since this was the 'Tristram' in the game's plot, the old man hanging in the wooden cage outside was Dekad Kane, and as for the giant man below who exuded a terrifying aura, it should be 'Griswald'.
Griswald was originally a blacksmith, but he was later killed by the archdemon 'Diablo', and then 'Diablo' resurrected him as an undead monster.
There was such a terrifying monster outside, Lin Fei naturally held his breath and didn't dare to make any sound.
He now somewhat understood that his main mission was to wait for the warriors who rescued Kane to come in this room behind the chapel, and then take the opportunity to escape.
That is the safest way to complete the main quest.
Just, is that really the case?
Lin Fei is not a conformist person, otherwise, he would not have taken a huge risk before, pretending to be a policeman to kill that Wang Xinde.
Because he knows that he cannot expect anything from anyone else. It's like a law, although it looks good, but it only serves the upper echelons, and it can't punish wicked people like Wang Xinde at all, and you can only rely on your own hands to really take revenge.
It's the same at the moment, waiting here like a turtle with a shrunken head is definitely not Lin Fei's character.
Because, that would be tantamount to putting fate in the hands of someone else, and there are too many uncertainties waiting here. Those monsters outside may find themselves in advance. Even if he was lucky and didn't get discovered, would the warriors who saved Kane come on time? Even if they came, it was to save Kane, not to save themselves, that is, at that time, there was no one to protect themselves.
Obviously, Lin Fei was completely passive at that time. Rather than this, it is better to take the initiative.
Lin Fei made up his mind and began to analyze the main quest. Soon, he found out that the mission only asked him and Kane to 'escape' Tristram, but it didn't say that he must wait until Kane was rescued by others.
Suddenly, Lin Fei knew that he had made a preconceived mistake.
Why wait for someone else to save Kane?
