Next Chapter

"Dear players, welcome to the game and start verifying player information."

"Welcome to player No. 125 Li Xiang to land in the game, now to start the newbie mission: Grave of Despair, please get ready."

"Grave of Despair quest begins: the end of life is in the grave, and being buried is everyone's final thought, but in a grave, there is a dead spirit wandering around, please find him and let him be buried in the grave."

"Mission Tip: There's no turning back in life."

Li Xiang's eyes darkened, and soon his eyes became dark, he looked left and right, and found himself standing in front of an arch with the words "Despair Cemetery." Four words, standing at the gate of the cemetery and looking inside, the large and small graves revealed strangeness in the dark night.

"It's a good game for realism." Li Xiang looked at himself, and in his sight, he was holding a black mobile phone in his right hand, and there was a timer on the phone, as well as a software, which at first glance was the flashlight function of the mobile phone.

There was a green blood trough in the upper right corner of his sight, and the rest was gone.

"It seems that this is a novice task, many functions have not been developed yet, and the task requirement is for me to find a guy in the graveyard who has not entered the ground, and a novice task should not be dangerous." Li Xiang secretly guessed in his heart.

Many people instinctively resist finding the body, but for Li Xiang, this matter is not difficult, because he is a doctor in reality.

Since he was in high school, he found that his ability to express emotions was gradually disappearing, and by the time he reached college, he had completely become an indifferent guy, unable to make people understand whether it was in the face of social or emotional expression.

He searched for his situation on the Internet and asked for help on the Internet, but there was no reply.

Until not long ago, he received a package, which contained a game helmet, a black phone, and a letter to him, which said that this thing could cure his condition, and today was his first time online, and he was also skeptical to try what this game was all about.

Li Xiang looked at the dark cemetery in front of him, took a deep breath, and stepped into the cemetery.

As soon as he entered the cemetery, Li Xiang felt a gust of wind coming, and a cold voice sounded in his ears.

"Dear player, you have stepped into the mission area, please start the game mission, please don't look back!"

The game reminded him again, and Li Xiang took a deep breath and began to walk towards the path on the right, his eyes constantly scanning the mounds of graves on both sides, which were made of mounds of earth and left no tombstones.

With the help of the flashlight of the black mobile phone, Li Xiang could only see a small area, and he walked half the way through the entire cemetery without finding the so-called undead.

The cemetery was enclosed with an iron fence, and it was pitch black outside, and with the help of a flashlight, Li wanted to see that the trees outside had lost their leaves, and those dead branches were like devil's claws in the night sky.

Li Xiang continued to walk forward, and after more than ten minutes, he walked around the cemetery, standing at the gate of the cemetery, Li Xiang was very suspicious that he had been tricked, he glanced at the black mobile phone, the timer on it was still running, and it seemed that he would continue to look for it.

Li Xiang took his black mobile phone and began to walk the second circle, and this time he found that the cemetery had changed, with yellow-white paper money appearing on the stone-paved path, and white flags also appearing on the grave.

"Did you just have any of these?" Li Xiang frowned, and suddenly, he heard a sound of footsteps behind him, and the sound was someone stepping on paper money walking towards him.

Out of instinct, Li Xianggang was about to look back to see what was going on, but he quickly remembered the task prompt.

"There is no turning back in life, does it mean that I can't go back?" Li thought of this, and he didn't dare to test it, if there was really any danger in this thing behind him, he could still run away.

The footsteps got closer and closer, but after a while they stopped, and a gust of night wind blew from behind, and Li Xiang smelled a putrid smell, which he was very familiar with, the smell of decaying corpses.

"Could it be that there is a carrion standing behind me, is he the guy I'm looking for?" Li Xiang didn't look back, he took a deep breath and continued to walk forward, the footsteps behind him followed his speed, Li Xiang saw that he was not a threat to himself, so he didn't take him to heart.

After walking for a while, the sound of footsteps behind him became two, and the other sound was as crisp as the sound of bones hitting the ground.

"What the hell does this mission mean?" Li Xiang muttered a little, if there was any danger, it should have started now.

He glanced down at the timer on his black phone, and found that the original white number had turned red, and the further he went, the more dense the footsteps behind him became, and Li Xiang couldn't help but think that there was a group of corpses standing behind him, and he walked forward.

But these guys didn't hurt him, and he didn't bother with them, and slowly got used to the footsteps.

When he finished the second lap, the cemetery began to change, and the grave bags began to stir, as if something inside was about to climb out.

Li Xiang felt the footsteps of the guy behind him begin to become dense, as if they were rushing towards him, and Li Xiang ran forward with his legs pulled.

"Why did these things start attacking me?" Li didn't understand it when he thought about it, but now was not the time to think about these things.

The footsteps behind him began to mess up as he ran, and the group of things behind them knew that he was running, and they began to chase after him.

Li Xiang kept adjusting his rapid breathing, the light of his mobile phone flashlight swayed because of his running, his eyes were looking for a way out on the road, and in addition to his own heartbeat, there was also the sound of chaotic footsteps behind him.

Li Xiang wanted to escape from this place, but he couldn't find an exit.

Suddenly, he stopped, his eyes fixed on the grave in front of him, and his heart seemed to be blocked.

He saw bony hands sticking out of those grave bags, he saw ghost fires floating on the road ahead, and with the faint light of the fire, he saw something arching out of the grave bags!

Although Li Xiang stopped, the footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and the tension in Li Xiang's heart was getting stronger and stronger.

"Where is this lonely undead and why I haven't found it after two rounds." Li Xiang became calm under this nervous emotion, which is a habit he has developed since becoming a doctor.

"I was alone in the first circle, and in the second circle I heard footsteps behind me, and in the third circle, it became like this, but I searched almost all the cemetery, and I couldn't find any exposed bodies or undead." Li Xiang began to analyze, even though the footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and the smell of rancid was getting stronger and stronger, he was still unmoved.

"Lonely undead, lonely undead, by the way, I was alone outside the grave in the first circle, isn't this lonely undead me? And there is no turning back in life, if I just took the road of life, then I can't turn back, I'm now a player's perspective, instinctively treating myself as a human being, but what if my character is originally an undead? Thinking about this, Li also figured out why the footsteps behind him didn't attack him at the beginning, they regarded themselves as their own kind.

"The lonely undead are buried in the ground, and it seems that I have to bury myself." Li Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly, seeing the corpses in front of him coming towards him, Li Xiang looked left and right, and immediately lay down in a vacant grave next to him, the original owner should have climbed out to find himself.

As soon as Li Xiang lay down, he saw a green-haired human face approaching him, but he heard a game prompt sound in his ears, and his eyes went dark, and the human face disappeared.

"Dear players, congratulations on unlocking the next mission, "Scarlet Community", by completing the beginner quest "Grave of Despair""

"Graveyard of Despair Reward: Congratulations on obtaining the quest item Mysterious 404 Key, Sneakers for the Undead."

"Please choose whether to continue playing?"

Li Xiang decisively withdrew.
