[Come on, come on, change everything in front tonight]
He loves to eat fresh flesh and blood, and at first he promised to sacrifice the flesh and blood of pigs, cows, and sheep, but as the number of wishes increases, his divine power also weakens, and if he wants him to fulfill his wishes without compromise, he must offer human flesh and blood, and if he does not kill others, he will take the believer's own flesh and blood in exchange.
The first person Chen Xu sent to the altar was his wife.
Start with the uterus.
He coaxed her to the operating table, and after removing the uterus, he held the offering table with his own hands.
He was pleased with the tribute and responded to Chen's wish.
Chen Xu's sister died in an accident, and he became the sole heir of the Chen family.
On the bustling streets of a foreign country, eight black-haired and black-eyed people from country Z appeared out of thin air in front of a toy store, but did not attract the attention of any passers-by.
The toy store is an old Gothic architectural style, with towering minarets and pointed arches, and stained glass painted with biblical stories, not like a shop, but like a church.
Only the crooked Chinese characters carved into the stone walls can prove that they are not looking for the wrong place.
"Doll's House."
Zhao Qiongfang looked at the building in front of her, swallowed her saliva, and her voice trembled.
"Do you have to go in?"
"If you want to die, you won't go in."
The fat man beside Zhao Qiongfang pinched his nose and said in disgust: "Old woman, it stinks to death." β
Hearing this, a look of embarrassment flashed on Zhao Qiongfang's face, and she cramped herself to touch the clothes on her body.
When she was pulled into the game, she was about to go home from the fish stall and didn't have time to change her clothes.
Zhao Qiongfang is only forty-five years old this year, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, her bloated figure, and her withered yellow hair make her look like she is fifty or sixty years old.
Zhao Qiongfang looked at the girl not far away with some envy.
That face is really a little too beautiful.
Even if there is a layer of dark blue under the eyes, it can't hide the girl's beauty, but it adds a sense of decadence to her.
It's just that the girl's expression is sad at the moment, and it doesn't look easy to approach.
Zhao Qiongfang remembered that the other party only said one sentence when she introduced herself.
"Ginger wine, profession is a game planner."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Jiang Jiu really didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment.
She had just finished changing a project overnight according to the leader's requirements, and on the way home, she ran into a frog puppet, thinking that everyone was working hard and it was not easy to survive, so she took a flyer.
Who would have thought that as soon as she turned her head, she would see the appearance of her corpse being printed on the flyer.
What kind of immoral thing to do is unvirtuous.
Jiang Jiu has to wonder if it is a competitor who deliberately pretends to be a frog to disgust himself.
But in the next second, she appeared in a dark space like behind the curtain of a stage play, with only a top light hitting everyone from above.
As the crowd panics like headless flies, a baby-faced man who calls himself an "old player" tells them the story of the absurdity.
They are chosen to participate in a horror game called Joyland.
Players must enter the game dungeon regularly according to the requirements of the game system, and only those who have cleared the dungeon will survive.
As a horror game planner, Jiang Jiu doesn't feel much about this, in order to work, she has been immersed in all kinds of horror movies for many years, anime and games, and her psychological tolerance has skyrocketed.
The only thing that made her feel unacceptable was that the official name of this game copy was actually called "Plot"!!
The game boss is also known as "Party A"!
And the only way to clear the level is for the players as "designers" to try their best to explore the plot of the complete dungeon, and finally design an advertising leaflet that satisfies "Party A"!!
Ginger Wine combed through the current situation with an expressionless face.
Bad news, she's being pulled into the horror game.
The worse news is that she still has a part-time job in the game!
This year, even the ghosts have begun to learn how to handle social animals?!
"Miss Jiang, you don't have to worry too much."
Jiang Jiu looked up and saw that there was one more person beside him.
If memory serves, this guy seems to be called Pei Bai.
Seeing the girl looking at her, Pei Bai showed a gentle smile: "This is my third copy, if Miss Jiang feels scared, you can follow me." β
ββ¦β¦ Oh. β
Oh?
The smile on Pei Bai's lips froze.
That's it?
Does this woman know how many opportunities for the old man to protect are the dreams of newcomers?
Seeing that the man hadn't left yet, Jiang Jiu's tone was not very good: "Are you still in trouble?" β
Whoever works overtime to add a dog, and when he is about to go home to rest, he is suddenly told that he has to continue working, and he will not be in a good mood.
The same goes for her.
Pei Bai didn't expect the person he found this time to be so ignorant of current affairs, he stood there, feeling that the eyes of other people were cast, and he couldn't get off the stage.
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful, it's really a real person!"
Dai Liangming, a man in a suit, came up, although he said flattering words, his expression was very frank, and he did not deliberately flatter.
"It seems that our group of newcomers has to rely on you Brother Pei!"
Dai Liangming took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, skillfully pulled out one of them and handed it to the man.
Pei Bai's complexion softened a lot.
This is the attitude that a newcomer should have.
Dai Liangming naturally stepped forward to light a fire for him, the smell of cigarettes spread, Jiang Jiu frowned, and moved two steps to the side.
Dai Liangming saw her small movements, didn't say anything, took a step forward, and stood between the two.
"Brother Pei, we don't know anything about the situation in this copy, can you tell us about it?"
The nicotine relaxed the nervous brain a little, and Pei Bai narrowed his eyes.
"Every copy is different, but some rules are fixed."
"For example, try to act in a team, people who are left alone are more likely to be killed, and after entering the dungeon, you must follow the instructions of the NPC, and sometimes you can't follow them completely, so you need to explore the clues of the dungeon according to your own judgment."
"As time passes in the dungeon, it becomes more difficult the further you go, and the restrictions on the ghosts to kill will decrease." He took a deep breath, as if remembering something, and shuddered, "My last copy, in the end, the ghosts have completely no rules and restrictions, and they slaughter indiscriminately, if they don't find a way to survive at the last moment, they will almost be wiped out." β
When the newcomers think about that image, they feel chilled.
Zhao Qiongfang rubbed her arms, "Then can't you find a way out early and get out early?" β
Pei Bai snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and sneered, "You think we are all fools? Not to mention how difficult it is to find clues to the way of life, just dealing with the threat of ghosts in the early stage is already very difficult, okay? β
"Do you think that the way to life is the same as the white radish sold in the vegetable market? Death is the norm, and survival is lucky. β
"That's what this game is all about."
"It wants us all to die inside."
Watching Pei Bai expose the cruel reality in front of these newcomers, Xin Rao, the only woman among the old players, frowned: "Okay, let's go to the toy store, the more time in the dungeon goes, the more likely it is to have accidents." β
Pei Bai shrugged.
He just wanted to teach these newcomers a lesson.
Xin Rao took the lead, and the group opened the door of the toy store and officially entered the dungeon.
Before stepping through the door, Jiang Jiu looked up at the sign, and something flashed quickly in his overworked mind.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't hurry up and keep up with the big troops. β
Dai Liangming saw her distracted, looked at the crowd in front of him, and lowered his voice.
Ginger Wine glanced at him and let go.
The door of the toy store closed, and the stained glass in the center of the door suddenly reflected an eyeball, and the black pupils were tightly pressed against the glass, and the bones turned around, as if to observe whether there was anyone missing out of the door.
For a moment, the eyeballs vanished, leaving a terrifying darkness behind.
The crisp sound of a bell rang out, and it was an old-fashioned metal doorbell attached to the door frame.
Then came the light and eerie children's voices.
γDing Dong ~ Welcome to the "Doll House"! γ
[Each puppeteer regards his own work as a precious child, they give the child all good qualities, but in the production process, the puppet will always be "polluted" by external factors, in order to create the most perfect work, the puppeteer worked hard and finally succeeded!
Here, the world's greatest puppeteers are housed! It's the home of dolls, the perfect paradise! γ
[Main Quest: Please explore the full story and find the perfect puppet in the doll house!] Design the perfect promotional poster for it! γ
[Warm reminder, due to the high requirements for poster design in this copy, all employees can clear a promotional advertisement, please work hard to create!] γ
There are veteran players who popularize science in advance, and new players are not frightened by the sudden sound.
"Just a system prompt?"
The fat man looked around, as if looking for the source of the sound, and looked around, but found nothing resembling the sound.
Xin Rao saw his thoughts: "There is a big difference between the copy and real life, don't substitute the common sense in reality into the copy, if you can't change it, you may suffer a big loss." β
Hearing this, the fat man pursed his lips.
Isn't it just a few more copies, what's the spirit, back to the real world, and not a working boy.
Poor.
The fat man's name is Wang Hongye, he is a rich second generation, and he has always been arrogant, that is, now that he has entered the game, he is a little more restrained.
Xin Rao took in the man's expression, didn't say anything, and began to look around.
She has already reminded that how to do it is Wang Hongye's business.
It wasn't her who died anyway.
Xin Rao looked around, the atmosphere in the dollhouse was completely different from the inside, and the air was so quiet that she could hear everyone's breathing.
There are a total of eight players in this batch of players, according to the previous self-introduction, there are three old players, namely the baby-faced Yu Ren who introduced the rules at the beginning, Pei Bai who choked on ginger wine, and Xin Rao herself.
The remaining five are all newcomers - if no one is lying.
Xin Rao's gaze swept over several people without a trace.
Although there are no factions in the dungeon, there are many cases where players backstab their teammates in order to survive.
Xin Rao is not a newcomer, she has seen a lot, and she has no expectations for human nature.
But this time it's just a D-level book, as long as this group of newcomers obediently listen to the instructions and don't trigger the dead end of the group annihilation, it shouldn't be too difficult.
The woman's gaze paused as she passed the ginger wine.
The other party's appearance is indeed outstanding, but unfortunately, in the game, appearance is the most useless thing.
Xin Rao crossed her and looked at Yu Ren not far away, their eyes met in the air, and then nodded slightly.
Yu Ren understood what she meant.
Temporary cooperation.
Although it's only a D-rank book, you'll still die if you're not careful.
Veteran players huddle together to increase survival rates.
Jiang Jiu looked at the small movements of the two of them, and looked away as if he didn't notice it, only feeling bored.
The first lesson in the workplace.
Old employees huddle together for warmth.
And what about new hires?
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The whole dollhouse is divided into five parts, in addition to the land that resembles a living room where they are now located, there are four rooms, which are distributed on both sides according to the character "Tian".
"Let's go in groups of two and look for clues in the house." Yu Ren faintly, "The main task is to find the perfect puppet, at least explore the house first." β
"There are four rooms here, and one group is responsible for one."
"I agree, it's just that they're entering the dungeon for the first time, and they don't understand a lot of things, so let's group them in twos and twos, just an old player and a new player, how about it?" Pei Bai took over the conversation with a smile.
Yu Ren shrugged his shoulders, he originally meant the same thing.
Obviously, Pei Bai's favorability in the hearts of new players has skyrocketed.
"Brother Pei, you are such a good person!"
"Yes, Brother Pei, can I join a group with you?"
Zhao Qiongfang hesitated: "In this case, isn't there a group of pure newcomers?" β
The crowd was silent.
Wang Hongye swept around vigilantly, and slowly moved his body to Pei Bai's side.
Two newcomers are together, the danger index multiplies, and the fool has to go to that group.
"Let's draw lots." Xin Rao was direct, "But there is one thing, I only take girls." β
βοΌοΌβ
"Why?"
Wang Hongye shouted dissatisfiedly.
Xin Rao's face was expressionless: "I am willing." β
Then he turned his head to look at Zhao Qiongfang and Jiang Jiu: "You two are okay, right?" β
Zhao Qiongfang nodded at her gratefully and thanked her vigorously.
Ginger wine didn't react, and his light-brown pupils were full of frustration.
You are more trustworthy than you are to rely on others.
Xin Rao's gaze stayed on Jiang Jiu's face for a moment, and then moved away as if nothing had happened.
She kind of regretted it.
People who are not motivated, eat and wait for death have only one end in the dungeon, and most importantly, she hates the kind of newcomers who sit back and enjoy their success.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In the final lottery results, Zhao Qiongfang and Jiang Jiu were not drawn.
Zhao Qiongfang held the blank note and stood in place helplessly, her eyes wet, and she looked at Xin Rao with a wistful face.
Xin Rao didn't speak, and motioned for her to discuss with Jiang Jiu.
Zhao Qiongfang had no choice but to change the object of her plea to ginger wine.
"Big sister."
She said like a mosquito: "Can you let me follow Sister Xin?" β
"You see I'm old, if I didn't have Sister Xin, it would be difficult to survive in this copy, and my son and husband are still waiting for me outside, I can't die."
"yes, I can't die." She muttered a demonic repetition.
"Big sister, you are still young, your physical strength is better than mine, and you are educated, even if you don't have Sister Xin, you can survive, right?"
The more she spoke, the more she felt aggrieved, the more she said, the more she felt justified, and her voice gradually became louder.
"Big sister, can you just let me do it?"
