Chapter 023: Two-Sided Action
On June 19, at dusk, the roof of an abandoned teaching building in Huanjing No. 3 Middle School.
As the sun sets in the west, solar panels in one corner of the rooftop drag a bloated shadow on the ground, rusty metal brackets crumbling.
In the middle of the night, a figure slowly floated up from the shadows, like a young man in a white shirt and jeans.
Ke Xiaomo leaned against the railing, motionless and overlooking the entire school. The eyes wandered, from the playground to the school gate, and then from the infirmary to each school building. Whether it is the students laughing and passing by in the corridor of the teaching building, or the figures running on the playground, he can see them all.
In just a few seconds, his eyes were fixed on a figure in the corridor on the second floor of the teaching building.
The figure walked out of the bathroom slowly, walked quickly to the entrance of the stairs, and then went down the stairs, as if he was in a hurry.
Ke Xiaomo's lowered gaze followed him all the time, not leaving for a moment.
I saw Ke Mingye walk all the way out of the teaching building, towards the school gate, and then boarded a bus at a station not far away.
Ke Xiaomo remembered the appearance and license plate number of the bus, and then his figure seemed to melt, turning into a puddle of ink and falling into the shadow under his feet.
Soon, the roof of the abandoned school building fell silent. It was as if no one had come, and it was slowly rotting like an orange peel in the setting sun.
.......
.......
At this moment, on the bus No. 09 of Huanjing 07 Road.
Ke Mingye stood in an inconspicuous corner holding the ring, scratching the bridge of his nose with his fingers, the smell of mothball's disinfectant mixed together was very unpleasant.
It was rush hour, and the carriage was so crowded that it shook violently from time to time, causing him to collide with the sweaty man next to him. The noisy sound of short videos, the hum of a bus engine, and the voice of a woman reprimanding a child are all stacked in a mess, making people breathless.
He sighed softly and looked down at his phone.
On WeChat, Ke Youqing finally ignored his message, sent him 500 yuan to Ke Xiaomo to buy a cake, and let him save the rest of the money, and then didn't reply.
"It's enough to pick the door, you can buy at least two suites in Huanjing with the salary you receive in the Super British Association every year, right?" Ke Mingzhi secretly slandered in his heart.
Although he was disgruntled, his finger clicked on the payment very honestly. In fact, Ke Mingye is not short of these hundreds of yuan, after all, the five thousand yuan won on the dark web last night is a huge amount of money for a high school student.
However, it is easy to be suspicious when suddenly there is an extra amount of money, and it is easy to reimburse it when it is time for the parents to reimburse, which is like an ordinary high school student.
Ke Mingye put away his phone, inserted his left hand into his coat pocket, grabbed the ring with his right hand, and turned his head to look at the rumbling and trembling window.
Although his pupils reflected the passing scene outside the window, at this moment, his attention was all on another image in his mind - the trickster puppet was able to share vision and hearing with the player, so whether it heard or saw, it was transmitted to Ke Mingye's mind synchronously.
The experience was very disjointed, like a schizophrenic patient playing an Fps game and a Moba game at the same time with a double window, and he was somewhat overwhelmed, but he still tried to adapt to the tearing sensation of manipulating two bodies at the same time.
After a long time, it eased the anxiety of being on the bus.
After Ke Mingye controlled the puppet and left the school, he ordered it to walk towards the cigarette pouch shopping street on foot. He now felt that he had made a mistake, and that he should have stuffed at least two coins into the pocket of the doll's school uniform before parting so that he could get on the bus. However, manipulating the puppet to walk has also played a more or less adaptive role, which is not too bad.
He puts on his headphones on the bus and closes his eyes while concentrating on controlling the puppet's movements.
First, he asked the puppet to take a picture of his face in front of the glass display case of a clothing store, and made a few expressions to confirm the fluency. After proficiency, there is basically no great sense of disobedience, and even the operation can be accurate to the micro-expression of the puppet.
Ke Mingye took advantage of this time to check other matters, and finally confirmed that the trickster puppet could use skills, props, and equipment, but could not use other functions of the panel. The three attributes of the puppet are also exactly the same as the player's attributes, which means that although it is helpless, it inherits Ke Mingye's sick body.
In addition, the biggest difference between this doll and the player itself may be the "weight".
The weight of the doll is much lighter than that of a normal person, so if you don't control the strength, you can even jump to a height of three or four meters, which is as light as a balloon. If it's possible to be exposed in front of other players, that's definitely something wrong at this point.
However, Ke Mingye also considered it, and could explain to other players that the reason why the body is so light is because he learned a "passive skill" that can reduce weight on the skill sales page, or that the body itself is superhuman and has a light body ability......
In general, they shouldn't be that detailed.
But on the other hand, the doll's weight is very light, which also brings a relative benefit, which means that it can do something that Ke Mingye can't do at the moment: use the spider web launcher to shoot spider silk, and then grab the spider silk to ripple in the sky, like Spider-Man to move at high speed over the city.
Ke Mingye couldn't do it because of his lack of physical fitness and his strength was not enough to carry his weight; But the doll is different, although its power is the same as Ke Mingye's, but the weight is much lower, so it is possible to do this.
When you're ready, you just need to control the puppet to walk towards the cigarette pouch shopping street. It's not far from Huanjing No. 3 Middle School, and it's only half an hour's walk away.
On the bus, Ke Mingye opened the system panel again, looked at some introductory items in the settings, and once again confirmed the rules that were relatively important to him:
- Players can't see each other's game boards, so don't worry about them leaning on the panels to confirm their identities and trick puppets showing their feet;
- If it is not a self-aware summon, but a summon that is completely controlled by the player, it can be used as a unit to enter the dungeon on behalf of the player, which is mostly used to test the situation in the dungeon.
- The same dungeon can only be challenged once a day; If the player dies in a quest, the player will not die, but will respawn outside the quest.
- Some dungeons are played in real-world scenarios, while others involve the player in an alternate dimension.
- When the quest ends, all players participating in the quest will appear in a nearby "confirmed not to be watched" area.
