Chapter 2: The Night One

The human-faced scorpion let out a miserable scream, its long tail flicked back and forth frantically, and the sharp blade flicked over Xiao Zhimiao's cheek several times, and the distance was still a little close, and it failed to reach Xiao Zhimiao.

Seeing a black-purple mist bursting from the mouth of the human-faced scorpion, Xiao Zhimiao knew that it was going to use magic.

If it had been used for its 300 mana, she would have to be planted here today.

Because of the pain the human-faced scorpion hanging on the spider silk and shaking it violently, Xiao Zhimiao found a good time to see it shake to the area where the overlapping gap of the beam was relatively large, and at the same time as pulling the bow, a strong killing intent burst out in his heart, and the bow was full and shot out, breaking the spider silk hanging on it.

The moment the arrow was shot, Xiao Zhimiao saw a ray of red light flashing on the arrow.

As soon as the spider silk broke, the human-faced scorpion fell through the gap.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Zhimiao didn't hear the sound of the human-faced scorpion landing.

Silence returned to the room.

The female voice of the system sounded in Xiao Zhimiao's mind, and at the same time, the panel popped up: "Congratulations to the player for destroying a predator human-faced scorpion, and for the success of the challenge of skipping, he will get 5 times the points: 50, get 5 times the gold coins: 500, and get the item [Strong Spider Silk] ×1." ”

[Here is the Player Properties Panel]:

Health: 50

Xiao Zhimiao was lying on the beam with some detachment, just after a chase and battle, her physical strength had dropped to 50, her level had risen to level 5, and nothing else had changed.

The system prompts: "In the game, the automatic recovery of health and stamina is slow, and if you want to recover quickly, you can use recovery magic or potions." ”

Xiao Zhimiao looked at her empty backpack, she better lie down and recover.

"Hey, infiltrator over there, come here, come to me."

Xiao Zhimiao was lying down and resting, when a hoarse and dry male voice sounded in the empty and quiet room.

Xiao Zhimiao's hand holding the bow tightened, and she quickly stood up and followed the voice.

A figure appeared in the corner of the wall in front of Xiao Zhimiao's left, because of the distance, this figure appeared very small.

Xiao Zhimiao assured that she had inspected the entire room just now, and she didn't see this person at all, except for the location where she came in just now, there was no obvious exit door or anything like that, he seemed to suddenly change out, and there was no movement.

Her eyesight was very good, and there were only two or three candles lit in the room, and although the light was dim, it was enough for her to see every corner, except for the completely suspended place in the middle, which was dark that the light could not shine into.

Panel pop-up:

[Trigger the side quest NPC, please talk to the NPC, it may be helpful for the main quest]

"Intruder, you'd better come to my side before the grave patrol comes, the grave patrol is not as easy to deal with as the predator."

Xiao Zhimiao closed the system interface and walked towards the NPC.

Xiao Zhimiao walked on the beam unhurriedly, this beam was a little narrower than the wall she had just stepped on, and ordinary people didn't dare to pass like her, and her legs had to tremble for a long time when she stood on it.

Halfway through, Xiao Zhimiao heard some strange sound coming from below, like some creature breathing.

The room she was in was too empty, the sound was diffused and amplified, and Xiao Zhimiao was not very good at judging the distance.

She crouched down and looked at it for a while, but she didn't see any reason for it, so she closed her eyes and continued to walk towards the NPC.

Xiao Zhimiao has a very high sensitivity to danger, and after judging that there is no danger, no matter how terrifying and frightening the atmosphere is, she doesn't feel much.

Xiao Zhimiao walked up to the NPC, only to find that his figure was very tall but very thin, his cheeks were thin and sunken, and he was hunched at the waist. Dressed in a gray burqa and carrying an oil lamp, he looks like an NPC guiding the player in the game.

"Ah, Intruder, are you here to find the traitor's treasure?"

Xiao Zhimiao thought to herself, this should be a plot? So she nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

"You sneakers are so bold, this is a cemetery of defectors who have betrayed God, although God has sealed him, but your movement is too great to wake him up, then it will be a disaster."

The NPC looked Xiao Zhimiao up and down, and suddenly frowned: "You are a Night Person. ”

As soon as the NPC's voice fell, the information panel popped up.

[According to the player's attribute evaluation, the player's faction is: Nighttimer]

[Note: The player's camp is the Night Warriors, the probability of encountering monsters is very high, and the stroke rating is very bad among the non-player aborigines, and it is easy to pull hatred, please pay attention to the balance between the player and the aborigines.] 】

Xiao Zhimiao learned on the official website that in the background of the story in [God's Presence], various forces are mixed - chaotic power struggles among the human race, church believers who believe in gods, divine power above all forces, and depraved heresies who make deals with the devil and sneer at the gods.

As a result, there are three major factions for players to choose from, namely the Apostle of the King, the Follower of the Gods, and the Night, who are loyal to the Terrans, the Followers of the Gods, and the Nights, who are on the edge of darkness.

But it seems that in the game now, it is assigned by the system, not by one's own choice.

Xiao Zhimiao knew that the people in the [Nighttimer] camp were very capable of pulling NPC hatred in the game.

Xiao Zhimiao looked at the NPC in front of him with a look of vigilance and disgust, rolled his eyes, and said to him: "I am the Night One, but I have the same purpose as the others. ”

The thin NPC rubbed his hands nervously when he heard this, and his eyes looked at Xiao Zhimiao, "That's okay, Night One, my name is Mole, I have a reluctant request, I came to the crypt to find my daughter Mora, she heard that the defector has a treasure that can make her more attractive, so she entered the crypt." ”

Speaking of this, Moller had a sad look on his face, "I want to tell Mora that she is the best girl in the world in my mind, she doesn't need anything to make herself more attractive, she is a cute and likable girl, and it is not her fault that she fell in love with someone she shouldn't love." ”

"Will you help me find my daughter? If I could, I'll send you a map of the Crypt. ”

Xiao Zhimiao asked, "You have a map, why don't you go to find your daughter yourself?" ”

Mole's big eyes, which were protruding because of the sunken eye sockets, kept turning there, looking very weird, and his whole person looked very nervous, so that Xiao Zhimiao felt that he was a little nervous.

Hearing Xiao Zhimiao's question, he paused for a while as if he was stuck, muttering something that Xiao Zhimiao didn't understand.

After chattering for a while, he turned his gaze back to Xiao Zhimiao, "I am a believer in God, the crypt is full of dark things, which will devour my faith, the Night One, you can kill the predator alone, you are a very powerful person, you help me find my daughter, I will take the gift of God as a thank you for helping me." ”

Xiao Zhimiao has played a lot of RPG (role-playing) games, and she is too familiar with this routine.

If the main story is a clear boss, this should be considered a side story, and there will be rewards for completing tasks.

The God's bounty, which she heard in the system voice before she entered the game, and also appeared on the quest panel, was a special item that could be exchanged for points.

The game is dominated by the gods, and the people of this world get the gifts of the gods through faith and worship the gods, and get abilities and various precious items, for players, this god is a high-level points mall, used to upgrade abilities and exchange special items, as well as for the plot.

She's short of props right now.

So, Xiao Zhimiao rejected Moeller's request.

It's a thriller horror game, and there's no if you don't take on missions. The main quests have been assigned, and she is full of food and holds on to another hot potato.

If you want an item, the premise is that she has to have a life, she is now a novice player who is only level 5, and before she fully adapts to the game, of course, the first copy will survive first.

The copy that can be cleared, why bother to do the task, she is tired and panicked, of course, she occasionally has a cheap hand.

Although Xiao Zhimiao is bold, she is lazy and wants to save trouble.

"Oh, Nightseeker, you're such a good Samaritan."

As if he hadn't heard her refusal, Moeller forced a yellowed map into her hand.

Xiao Zhimiao: ???

Can this broken game still force players to accept side quests?

Xiao Zhimiao touched his hand as dry as an old branch of Moeller, and the cold touch made her shiver.

Xiao Zhimiao's hand was too cold, as if it had been frozen out of the refrigerator.

The system seemed to hear Xiao Zhimiao's heart, and the electronic female voice sounded in Xiao Zhimiao's head: "For the sake of the player's game experience, please do not refuse the task." ”

Xiao Zhimiao: I'll refuse.

The female voice of the system: "Refusal is useless. ”

Xiao Zhimiao: Okay, you cow.

System Girl: "Thanks for the compliment." ”

??? Wait, she didn't speak just now.

It's really hell, Xiao Zhimiao doesn't like to even have to be listened to her heart, she opened her mouth and asked, "Can you hear my heart?" ”

Moeller, who was standing in front of her, said "Ah~" and said, "Night One, I can't hear your heart, but I can feel your kindness." ”

Xiao Zhimiao's face was expressionless: "I didn't ask you." ”

Moller looked nervously left and right, "Nightseeker, it's just the two of us here. ”

Xiao Zhimiao looked at Moeller, an NPC, who was actually afraid of the eerie environment of the dungeon, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said leisurely: "Isn't there someone behind you?" ”

After that, Xiao Zhimiao's eyes looked behind Moeller, and Moeller turned his head stiffly to look, and his whole body trembled.

"No... Nobody....."

"Isn't he right behind you, watching you?"

Xiao Zhimiao said, her eyes staring directly behind Moeller.

"Ahh

Moller screamed, his frightened lamps falling to the ground, and he shuddered, "I really don't want to make a deal with the Night, you demons. ”

"The system can't hear what the player is saying." Just when Xiao Zhimiao was about to pee his pants in fear of this NPC, the system spoke out in time.

The system is still an electronic female voice, but the voice seems to suppress a smile.

Xiao Zhimiao: "Then why did you answer so accurately." ”

Electronic female voice: "Because last time you also... Be.... This ......."

The electronic female voice hasn't spoken yet, and the back is like a bad signal, which becomes intermittent and then silent.

Xiao Zhimiao frowned, and was about to continue asking questions, when the moller in front of him recovered from his frightened state to his previous appearance, as if his state had been revised just now.

"Good Nightsman, may the light of God shine over you, and bless your safe return."

Mole's hoarse voice echoed in the empty crypt, and Xiao Zhimiao watched his figure gradually disappear into the darkness, those bulging eyes staring at her as if they were looking at a dead object.

As soon as Moller disappeared, the electronic female voice returned to normal, and sounded in Xiao Zhimiao's mind: "Get the side quest [Find Mora], complete the quest and get the gift of God, and those who fail the quest will bear the wrath of Moller." ”

Failure to survive the wrath of Moeller?

Xiao Zhimiao sneered in her heart, she couldn't find her daughter to vent her anger on others, this is incompetent rage.

With his timid appearance just now, Xiao Zhimiao really couldn't imagine what this NPC could become.

Xiao Zhimiao opened the map in his hand and watched it through the dim candlelight.

A minute later, Xiao Zhimiao looked at the ghost-like map and fell into deep thought.

Gan, who can understand this?!

There is not even a mark, just a variety of routes and crooked landmarks that look like drawings drawn by people who don't know how to draw.

Xiao Zhimiao flipped through the map up and down and studied it for a while, and then saw his location from the messy route.

However, it is useless.

This task is still mandatory, that is, the game digs a hole for the player.

Xiao Zhimiao put away the map and put it in the system backpack, and under the light of the candlelight, she saw a half-open stone door in the place where Moeller had just disappeared.
