"I may never be able to get out again...... "NPC laughed, "Haha, just kidding!" Our staff will always keep an eye on the movements of tourists and will always go in to help those in need, so enjoy it with confidence! ”

“……”

Fang Jiang: "Speaking of which, isn't this a haunted house?" ”

NPC dissatisfied: "How come? Our tunnel is much more exciting than a haunted house! ”

“……”

The NPCs also stopped grinding, and took the horn and asked them to enter one by one in the order of the team: "It's likely to get scattered inside, but don't worry, we'll keep an eye on your movements, The tunnel will show you different kinds of butterfly lights at intervals, you can follow the butterfly lights to determine if you're on the right path, and how far you've walked...... Have fun! ”

As soon as that sentence fell, Shi Youqing, who was walking in the middle of the line, heard a rumbling sound - it was the sound of the door opening.

When the whole team passed through the gate and entered the main path of the tunnel, the tall door behind it closed in an instant.

Shi Youqing didn't take two steps before Bo Huai picked him up, and he said, "Prevent you from getting separated." ”

"Oh."

In the dark, everyone can't see each other, naturally no one notices them, everyone who knows each other is holding each other's hands tightly, and the player who is alone will subconsciously close to others.

The crowd walked forward together, some talking incessantly to strengthen their courage, and others complaining that they had not been able to bring their flashlights.

After thinking about it, Shi Youqing decided to remind them: "You don't have to believe all the words of NPCs, especially don't think about relying on them to help you get out of the tunnel." ”

Chu Wei, who was at the front, shook the fried silkworm chrysalis in his hand and said, "I think so." ”

"But if you really get lost here, then you have to ......" Before Fang Jiang finished speaking, he suddenly heard the player next to him shouting: "! Yes...... There's a dark shadow running this way......"

Everyone looked back, and after a few rays of light from the crack in the door, several distorted black shadows were rushing towards this place—

For a while, the originally neat team was instantly chaotic, and everyone subconsciously ran forward.

"Can't be caught! Don't get caught...... "Some people shouted and pulled their teammates to run together, and some people couldn't stand the speed that their teammates couldn't keep up with and simply let go, and then they sprinted forward...... In less than a minute, footsteps and wheezing could be heard everywhere in the dark tunnel.

Although it was judged that the NPC had bad intentions, no one knew what the consequences would be after being caught by the black shadow, and no one was willing to take their lives to be the first to experiment. At this time, for most people, the only way to stay away from the shadows is to do their best.

The crowd had already dispersed, and the shouts of Hao Tianshuo and Feng Bin were heard during the Shi Youqing period, but they were quickly dispersed by the crowd.

The black shadow chased the crowd around, and Shi Youqing was lying on Bo Huai's back and looked back from time to time.

The further you go, the darker the tunnel becomes, and the black shadow can't be seen clearly, only the sound of kicking and stomping footsteps can be heard......

Not long after running, Bo Huai suddenly stopped and stared quietly ahead.

Shi Youqing looked over.

They came to a fork in the road—the ends of both of which were obscured by sloping white silk, and the wall in front of them was lit with a faint round light, without any difference.

Behind him, the footsteps seemed to be getting closer.

……

Fang Jiang was so tired that he couldn't breathe, he was chased by one of the black shadows all the way, and he originally wanted to follow the rest of the players, but he was scattered halfway, so he could only run forward.

Soon he saw two identical intersections, and the black shadow chased after him, and he didn't think about it, so he intuitively chose the nearest right intersection to himself.

However, after rushing in, there were two such intersections in front of me again.

The footsteps were gone now, but Fang Jiang didn't dare to go back at all, the ghost knew if the black shadow was hiding outside and waiting to catch him!

This time, Fang Jiang chose the left intersection.

After coming out, it was finally no longer a repetitive picture, he didn't dare to stop, he sprinted all the way through the dark tunnel, and it didn't take long for him to finally see a small butterfly-shaped lamp on the wall in front of him.

Sure enough, it's the right one!

Fang Jiang was overjoyed in his heart and continued to run forward.

But then, no matter how he walked, he would walk under the butterfly lamp. The NPC said that every once in a while, there will be different kinds of butterfly lights, how can they be exactly the same?

Fang Jiang first thought of the ghost hitting the wall, and soon felt that it was impossible, although it was a dark world, if he did this kind of unsolvable tricks on the road that every player had to go through, then none of the players who were human beings would be able to get out!

There must be some rules......

Fang Jiang raised his head and looked at the butterfly lamp carefully, making sure that all the details were exactly the same as the one he had seen for the first time, and his heart sank a little.

He had to keep walking, and then he saw the familiar intersection again.

Fang Jiang could only go according to the opposite choice before, the method of elimination...... You can't go wrong, right?

When he walked under the butterfly lamp again, Fang Jiang was almost desperate.

Exhausted from the long hours of running and nervousness, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and for a moment, a sense of foreboding spread in his heart - he might ...... I can't get out anymore.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps from behind him that made his scalp tingle!

- Help me...... Who's going to save me!

Fang Jiang trembled all over, and couldn't help but shout in his heart.

Suddenly, a beam of light appeared, and he subconsciously squinted his eyes, and his ears accurately caught the NPC in front of him lowering his voice: "Sir, you look very bad, I'll take you for a while, please be sure to follow." ”

Under the dark intersection, the man with the yellow blindfold who came out unexpectedly is like a savior! Although he subconsciously walked over, reason still made him stop suddenly.

NPC words? Is it really credible? On the first day of coming here, I also induced them to eat fried silkworm chrysalis......

The NPC didn't seem to care if he listened to him or not, and Gu Zi walked forward, about to leave.

The footsteps behind are getting clearer and clearer.

Fang Jiang gritted his teeth, raised his feet and quickly followed the NPC in a few big steps.

Anyway, those NPCs didn't force them to eat the fried silkworm chrysalis! And no one had an accident on the roller coaster they arranged to ride yesterday...... But the NPC said that you can't be caught by those dark shadows! If this is the rule, wouldn't he be sent to death if he stayed?

Even if the NPC is not good, it has been shown that the NPC will not kill the player directly!

Thinking like this, Fang Jiang calmed down a little, and he hadn't followed the NPC for a few steps before he heard a strange voice coming from the footsteps behind him, which seemed to be calling his name.

Fang Jiang got goosebumps.

…… It's like a soul!

"Sir," said the NPC walking in front of him, "have you ever heard a ghost story about a man who was alone at night and got lost and suddenly heard someone behind him shouting his name, and due to inertia, he turned around and answered, and then he was possessed by a ghost and took his body. ”

Of course he'd heard this kind of old-fashioned ghost story! Fang Jiang gritted his teeth and said, "Don't say it!" ”

After that, the NPC really quieted down, and only smiled and led the person forward.

Soon, Fang Jiang saw the butterfly lantern, and the moment he stood in the light, looking at the butterfly lantern with obviously different colors and patterns, he was so excited that he almost cried.

"Sir, I can only take you here, please keep up the good work." After speaking, the NPC turned and walked briskly towards the dark place.

Looking at the back that melted into the darkness, Fang Jiang, who was extremely wary of NPCs before, felt a sense of loss in his heart, he felt like a child who suddenly got lost, and gradually developed an indescribable sense of dependence on NPCs......

In any case, his choice was not wrong.

Fang Jiang continued to walk forward, the air around him was no longer stuffy, and even a little refreshingly cool, which made his steps much lighter.

Not long after, Fang Jiang saw a shining hut next to the road.

It should be the supply station in the mouth of the NPC.

Fang Jiang's mouth was already dry, and when he walked in, he saw that the table was full of all kinds of drinks and snacks.

He didn't dare to touch the drink, he opened a bottle of mineral water and drank most of the bottle, quenching his thirst, the feeling of hunger came immediately, Fang Jiang naturally didn't dare to touch the fried silkworm chrysalis on it, only took a biscuit, just in case, he also broke it and looked at it, making sure that there was nothing other than mixed flour in it, and then he was relieved to send it to his mouth.

The biscuits were delicious, Fang Jiang drank the remaining mineral water after eating the biscuits, and continued to hurry.

For the next part of the road, he walked in a trance, perhaps too tired, he always felt weak, a dull pain in his stomach, his breathing became more and more unsmooth, and his chest was uncomfortable.

When he passed the supply station again, Fang Jiang didn't go to drink water, but walked to the pool inside and splashed his face with cold water - he wanted to refresh himself.

However, the uncomfortable feeling of suffocation not only did not subside, but all accumulated together at this time, and finally, Fang Jiang couldn't help but open his mouth wide anymore and vomited towards the pool.

Spit it out, and it really feels a lot better...... But after seeing the vomit in the clear water pool, a bad chill climbed down the soles of his feet to his whole body, Fang Jiang's face turned pale, and he looked at the broken silkworm chrysalis in the pool stiffly......

How can it be?! He checked those cookies very carefully! Obviously there is no problem......

At this moment, Fang Jiang instinctively thought of one thing - where did the bag of fried silkworm chrysalis he carry with him go?

In order to prevent the fried silkworm chrysalis from being taken away by other players or NPCs and causing "waste", even if they don't eat it, players will try to bring it with them as much as possible!

Fang Jiang lowered his head and looked towards his right hand holding the paper bag of fried silkworm chrysalis.

The paper bag is still there!

…… But the weight is different.

Why did he only find out about such an important thing at this time?

Fang Jiang's hands trembled, slowly opening the paper bag, he prayed desperately, praying that everything was an illusion under his own nervousness......

However, the paper bag was empty.

*

In the dim light, Shi Youqing quickly closed his eyes.

His idea is simple: when the visual cannot distinguish the real from the fake, it will be more intuitive to abandon the visual.

Bo Huai carried him to the intersection on the left first, stopped for a moment, and quickly walked to the intersection on the right.

Shi Youqing quickly judged the subtle difference—the air flow at the door on the left was muggy, and the air on the right was cool.

The first way they entered the tunnel was sweltering.

The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and the man turned around unhurriedly, and at the same time as Shi Youqing spoke, he rushed into the intersection on the left with him almost heartily and continued to move forward.

Shi Youqing stretched out his hand to feel the air, and the feeling in his heart was confirmed, and nodded: "It's the left." ”

In this hot weather, there are doors at the entrance and exit of the tunnel, the road is tortuous and complex and not ventilated, and it is easy to get stuffy, as the NPC said, they can pay attention to the situation of tourists in it and come in at any time to "help", there must be a unique staff passage of NPCs, and employees need to stay inside the whole process or even in advance, until all waves of tourists go out, and there is no building outside the tunnel, which means that the space such as the monitoring room is inside...... It's just that employees have different entrances.

This kind of hot weather, this impermeable environment, such a long working time, it is unlikely that there will be no air conditioning.

The wrong way spread by the cold air will also induce the player to pass.

The tunnel is not long, and although it will take a detour, it will not take too long for the player to make a mistake.

Not long after they walked this time, small lanterns appeared on the walls on either side - they were lanterns made from butterfly specimens.

Shi Youqing was a little surprised, he thought that the butterfly lamp in the NPC's mouth was just a butterfly-shaped lamp, and he didn't think that it was in the form of using butterfly specimens to cover the lanterns.

The NPC didn't lie, but it used this way to fall into one trap after another.

Soon, new intersections appeared.
