Chapter 889: Murmurs in the dark

Translator: 549690339

80 minutes after the script started, in the city center.
At this time, Feng bujue had already made a big round in the city and set up all the necessary settings for his ‘game’. Then, he came to this place.
“A Castle, huh …” Brother Jue looked at the huge, strange Castle in the distance and mumbled,”I don’t think you have a good taste for architecture, Sir …”
The “Your Excellency” he was referring to was no one else but Sam Montier.
In fact, when he first entered this scenario, Feng bujue had already noticed Sam Montier’s presence because the ‘mist’ around him clearly contained the energy from the latter’s body. From a data point of view, it was like a “fingerprint” or a “genetic sequence”, and one could tell who the owner was at a glance.!!
“Speaking of which … What are you doing hiding in NUCCA?” Feng bujue mumbled to himself as he made his way to the castle.
Just as he was about to jump over a lava tributary, suddenly …
“Hohoho~there’s a saying~” a RAP with its own rhythm came over.”You’ve worn out your iron shoes and searched for it far and wide~”
“Hehehe, I didn’t expect this …” Another similar voice sounded.”I got it without any effort …”
Before he could finish, two figures had already floated over and stood a few meters in front of brother Jue.
“Hmm …” Feng bujue narrowed his eyes and looked at the two before him.”May I ask … Who are you?”
“I’m the top three!” Beansong looked like a black man, but he wasn’t a ‘human’, but a humanoid creature with four arms.
“I’m … The last four!” Dao Si was also a humanoid creature. Its whole body was purple, and there were gills on its neck that were similar to that of a shark. There were four small eyes on its face, but no nose.
These two “people” were both wearing loose-fitting long-sleeved clothes, cropped pants, and sneakers. Each of them had a bunch of exaggerated pendants hanging around their necks, just like a rap singer.
“Oh.” Brother Jue responded indifferently and asked,”I wonder what business the two of you have with me?”
W-w-w-w-we’ve been looking for you for a long time, Feng bujue!” Diansan replied.
“Sam Montier~Your Excellency~Yaoyao~cut it~you … We’ll bring you~back~” daolord four continued.
“Can we have a proper conversation?” Feng bujue had only talked to the man for less than a minute, and he was already starting to get annoyed.
“Yo yo yo~bujue, bujue, you don’t understand~” the three-in-arms responded to him with RAP again.”This is called RA~RARARA~”
“RAP!”At this moment, daosi flashed in front of diansthree and finished his sentence.
“Ha?” Feng bujue glared at them with his dead fish eyes.”With your level of skill … How dare you call this a RAP? Why do I feel like it’s not even as ‘JOY’ as the wig?”
“W-w-w-w-w-what …?” The third runner’s voice trembled like a ghost.”You’re really bold~”
“Hehehe~how dare you~” Dao four sang in a timely manner.
“How dare you say that I’m not as good as a wig?” Diansan continued,”do you believe~we’ll use~rhythm~to blow up your head!”
“Fine, fine … Just pretend I didn’t say anything …” Feng bujue did not want to continue this conversation because he felt like it would go on forever.”Aren’t you going to bring me to see Sam Montier? I’ll just follow you. ”
…………
At the same time, somewhere in the west of the city.
“Damn it … It’s been almost an hour …” Huang dachui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered,”that bastard must be playing with us!”
“I don’t think so …” The alkaline man said,”I’m starting to believe that the man was telling the truth …”
“Oh?” “Why do you say so?” the mysterious Spirit King asked.
“I’ve been thinking about it this whole time, and I’ve realized some problems …” The alkaline man replied,”the time we met that guy … Was only about thirty minutes after the scenario started. In other words, it only took him half an hour to create a robot with a virus weapon, find our exact location, and successfully infect all four of us with the virus. ”
“Wait a minute …” Huang dachui said,”he might not have made that robot, right? Perhaps it’s a summoned creature?”
“If it’s a summoned creature, then after it’s blown up … Its remains will immediately turn into white light and dissipate.” The alkaline man had already considered this, so he replied without thinking,”but the wreckage of the robot didn’t disappear, which means that it is something from ‘this world’.”
“I … I see …” Huang dachui nodded.
“And …” The alkaline man added,”I only realized it later on … If this person really wanted to kill us, he could have installed something on the robot that could kill us in a short time or make us lose our ability to move in an instant … Why would he use a virus that only acts up three hours after the virus?” He sighed.”Sigh … Let’s take a step back. You’ve all seen his skills … If he had wanted to kill us at that time, even without the robot leading the way, he could at least kill two of us and injure one of us …”
When he said this, his teammates could not help but feel a sense of fear.
Even Huang dachui, who thought highly of himself … Had to agree with this view. This was because when brother Jue got close to him and held him hostage, he truly felt a sense of despair … If brother Jue had wanted to kill someone at that time, he, Huang dachui, would have definitely been the first to die.
Two seconds later, the alkaline man continued,””Although we haven’t been in contact with that man for a long time, from his limited performance, we can infer that he has a strong mental fortitude, detection abilities that are far beyond our understanding, machinery mastery at least Grade B and above, as well as speed and endurance that are faster than me and the qiju …”
“Eh? How do you know about endurance?” The Prodigy warrior interrupted.
“We’ve been following the clues he gave us for more than 50 minutes, and we can see new clues at every location. Isn’t that enough to explain the problem?” The alkaline man asked.
“Yeah!” Qi ju thought for a moment and was shocked.”This means that he has already been to every place we have been to during this period of time …”
“Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that his teammates are helping him …” The alkaline man said in a deep voice,”but … I don’t think it’s possible.”
“Why is that?” Huang dachui asked.
“It’s just a feeling …” The alkaline man said,”just take it as the experience and intuition I’ve accumulated as a professional player in the game circle for many years …” His face became very serious.”I always feel that … We’ve met a very, very strong opponent this time …” He paused for half a second and said with a dark face,”..So strong that he can wipe out our team on his own.”
“Stop joking!” Huang dachui’s facial muscles twitched. He shouted to suppress his rising terror points,”how can such a person exist? Even the sky-swallowing Phantom dawn can’t do this, right?”
“I don’t know if ghost hunter can do it or not.” At this moment, the mysterious Spirit King added,”I don’t know how strong that man is.” But … I also have that ‘feeling’ that brother Jian was talking about …”
“Hey, hey … If that’s the case …” Huang dachui wiped the sweat off his face.”Doesn’t that mean that we’ve encountered a super strong team that’s even stronger than the professional team … No…. Team one of order? And we’re already completely under their control!”
“There’s no need to be so pessimistic,” The alkaline man said,”because … We’re still alive, aren’t we?”
His words didn’t have any effect on morale at all …
“In theory, we still have a chance of winning.” After some thought, the alkaline man continued,”first, the man said that he has a personal grudge to settle with the BOSS in the scenario. This is good news for us …”
“Hmm … Maybe he’ll be killed by the scenario’s BOSS?” The Prodigy warrior continued.
“Yes,” The alkaline man nodded and said,”secondly, although he is very strong, his teammates may not be that strong. If he is killed by the scenario’s BOSS, then we will have the advantage of a four-on-three situation. ”
“Even if he isn’t killed by the BOSS, as long as both sides suffer heavy losses, it’s still good news for us.” The mysterious Spirit King continued.
“That makes sense …” Huang dachui heard his teammates ‘”optimistic estimates” and suddenly became spirited.”In that case, our hope is indeed not small!”
“However … We still have to solve the immediate emergency.” The alkaline man said,”even if we’re led by the nose by him … We have to endure it until we find the ‘antidote’.” He licked his dry lips.”It doesn’t matter if the virus in our bodies is the Z-virus or not. We have to find a way to cure it as soon as possible …”
“Yeah …” The qiju warrior said,”when I first started to sweat, I thought it was just a psychological effect. But now, I have a mild fever and weak limbs … If this continues, I’m afraid …”
Just as they were talking, a new notification appeared before their eyes.
The hints that Feng bujue left behind were all very obvious. The signs were usually huge smiley faces that were carved on the wall or the ground. And below the smiley face, there would be a simple puzzle clue (brother Jue was afraid that it would be too difficult and cause the other party to be stuck), pointing out the location of the next location.
“The sun rises from the East … And the current goes straight down …” Huang dachui looked at the eight words engraved under the smiling face and read them out loud.”Hmm …” He pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the alkaline man.”What does it mean?”
The alkaline man pondered for two minutes before his expression relaxed.””One kilometer in the nineo’ clock direction …”
As soon as he said that, the prodigies and the mysterious spirit Kings came to a sudden realization. Only Huang dachui was still in a state of confusion.”Eh? How did you come to such a conclusion?”
“Sigh …” The alkaline man could only sigh.”Anyway … Let’s continue our journey …”
…………
On the other hand, Hell’s frontline team …
At this time, Xiao Tan, Ling, and Hua Jian had already been inside the scenario for one and a half hours.
Since RUO Yu’s order to brother Jue was to’ wipe out all the enemies within two hours ‘, Xiao Tan and the rest did not go and expand the plot. In the limited time, they still chose to search for items and skills on this map as much as possible.
As mentioned before, if one wanted to get something good in Thriller Paradise, other than opening certain storage areas through puzzle-solving, most of the time … A large number of non-main storyline items, including equipment, could be obtained through ‘searching’. For example, there was a set of Spiderman tights in a window on the street. It might be completely useless, but it could also be an excellent-grade equipment with attributes. Or, if he wandered around in the sewers, he might find a series of weapons such as twin daggers, Emei daggers, nunchucks, and long sticks …
In short, without any pressure to clear the game, as long as the map was big enough, the players could fully enjoy the fun of exploration.
For example, Xiao Tan’s group of three, who had great luck (relative to brother Jue), had already found three excellent quality items and one skill Card in ninety minutes.
The items are as follows:
[Name: shrimp bracer]
[Type: Armor]
[Rarity: excellent]
Defense: medium
[Attribute: isolation]
[Special effect: when the wrist is hit by a fire attack, 90% of the damage will be reduced.]
Equip requirement: level 25, bound upon equipping
[Able to bring out of the scenario: yes]
[Remark: a bracer made from the shell of an Emperor lobster. It’s also wrapped with a golden, crispy and delicious outer layer of kernel as decoration.]
This was a very unique excellent-grade armor, and its unique characteristics might be its fried shrimp shape and the remarks that were full of sh * t.
[Name: toilet brush]
[Type: Weapon]
[Rarity: excellent]
[Attack: weak]
[Attribute: none]
[Special effect: comes with the skill ‘fatal vortex’, 10 second cooldown]
Equip requirement: fighting mastery A, bound after equipping
[Able to bring out of the scenario: yes]
[Remark: when your weapon skills reach a certain level, you will be able to clean up your opponent like a freshly washed toilet.]
As mentioned above, a weapon full of malice …
[Name: textbook-like textbook]
[Type: other]
[Rarity: excellent]
Special effect: keep the target in a depressed and unhappy state for 45 minutes (cooldown time is 10 minutes, only effective on players).
Equipment Requirement: None, bound after one use
[Able to bring out of the scenario: yes]
[Remark: every year, we will revise the content that was released last year and make some changes to the details. Then, we will tell you that these changes will likely appear in the exam-oriented education testing system that you are in and affect the evaluation you get in this system.
“Thus, you will have to buy the new set of reading materials that were released this year. As for us who created those reading materials, we can survive for another year.
Perhaps a hundred years later, those touching literary works would still be remembered, and the textbooks over the past hundred years would become one page after another to wipe away their farts.
But no matter what,’we’ will continue to survive. [As long as the way you obtain knowledge is still tied to this disgusting testing system, you will eventually be our little B * tches.]
This item’s effect was quite good. It could be said to have the same effect as [draw a cross to curse you].
Finally, they looked at the skills they found …
[Name: self-admiration]
Skill Card attribute: active skill, will disappear after two uses.
“Skill type: Scout
[Effect: the moment the skill is activated, the player’s body will enter a different dimension and leave an invincible, damage-resistant afterimage where the player was. After entering the dimensional space, the main body can move in a straight line in any direction, Ignoring Gravity, but skills can not be activated, and physical contact can not be made with the material in the original space. After five seconds, the body will appear in a reasonable form (to avoid being embedded into the wall or other objects). At the same time, the afterimage will disappear, and the damage suffered by the afterimage during this period will be converted into stamina points to replenish the main body. (Cooldown time is 30 seconds)]
Consumption: 70% of current stamina points
Learning requirement: sleuthing A, level 43
[Remark: beauty is peerless, who is the fragrance for?]
From the perspective of the skill effect, this Skill Card was at least close to the standard of a S-grade. However, because it was the “limited use” version, the learning requirements were not very high.
That was the result of Wang Tanzhi’s group’s search.
The skill Card had come from a treasure chest that Ling had found to solve a puzzle, while the other three items had been “found” through a carpet search. One of them was embedded in a Billboard at the restaurant’s entrance, one was in the storage room next to the public toilet, and the last one … Was on a bookshelf in the library.
Obviously, these items were not easy to find, but the people from Hell’s front still managed to get them with patience and luck.
Of course … If brother Jue was the one looking for it, he might be able to find it with his data perspective. However, putting this factor aside … If he were to search purely based on his character, he might not even be able to find it even if he spent three hours.
…………
After searching for more than ten minutes, Xiao Tan’s group decided to find a place with a wider view to rest.
“Ah … It feels like a long time has passed …” Xiao Tan sat down on a bench in the park and sighed.”I wonder how brother Jue is doing.”
“Ha!” Ling sat down beside him and stretched.”I think you should be worried about the enemy.”
“That’s right …” Flower Jian stood to the side and added with a smile,”the two hour time limit is almost up. With Feng bujue’s personality … He will keep his promise. If he hasn’t taken care of the other party by the 120th minute, he’ll even do things like detonating a nuclear bomb. ”
“Ha … Ha ha …” Xiao Tan laughed drily.”That’s true …”
The three of them had just sat down and chatted for a few sentences, but they didn’t expect …
Suddenly, a solid-like darkness descended.
In an instant, the players ‘vision turned dark, and they couldn’t even see their fingers.
It was not just Xiao Tan’s group. At the same time, on the other end of the scenario, the Golden Warhammer team was in the same situation.
In the next second, every player heard a whisper in their ears,”[Ants from another world, come and see the true face of this city.]
