in the living room.
After the other five people who were in coma gradually woke up, they saw the camouflage man continuing: "Dear newcomers, you can understand this 'horror reincarnation space' as a game."
"As for who actually created this game, no one can tell now."
"It may be a god or demon, or it may be a certain advanced civilization. In short, our mission is to survive in this terrifying reincarnation space."
The man in camouflage uniform said and suddenly shook his left hand.
He wears a watch on his left hand.
The man in camouflage clothes said: "Have you seen this watch? Everyone who enters the reincarnation space will get the guidance of the reincarnation space from this watch and receive the tasks issued by the reincarnation space. And only those who successfully complete the tasks , only then can we have a chance to escape from the reincarnation space alive.”
After hearing what the man in camouflage clothes said, Chengshuo subconsciously glanced at his left wrist.
Like the man in camouflage uniform, he also has a watch on his left hand.
There is a line of pixel-style subtitles on the watch:
[Main mission: Survive in the terrifying haunted house for three days. 】
"You should have received all the tasks on the watch, right?"
Seeing Cheng Huo and the other newcomers looking at their watches, the man in camouflage said: "Since there are more newcomers joining this time, the system only allows us to survive in the haunted house for three days, and the task is not too difficult."
"A haunted house?"
Among the newcomers such as Chengshuo, a girl who looked very thin and wore a pair of glasses analyzed: "So, there is some kind of ghost in the house we are currently in? And then in the next three days, that ghost will Will he hunt down people like us?"
"I don't know." The man in camouflage clothes said uncertainly: "After all, the watch only mentioned that this room is a haunted house."
"But what kind of danger is it? Is it a ghost, a murderer, or something else? No one can say for sure, so it's best not to make preconceptions about it. After all, every decision you make next will be related to To your life or death."
After a brief introduction, Chengshuo learned:
Including the man in camouflage uniforms, there were three people, two men and one woman, who were awake at the beginning. They were all veterans who had experienced at least one reincarnation.
Among them, the man in camouflage clothing has experienced a total of three reincarnations.
The other man and woman have both experienced reincarnation twice.
Not much.
So this is a team composed of new people.
After each mission, the reincarnators will be transported to the so-called 'lounge' and given seven days of rest.
During this period, the reincarnators can receive point rewards issued by the space, which can be used to redeem food, weapons, armor, and even various extraordinary powers in the lounge.
At the same time, they can also use various equipment in the lounge to conduct a series of training to improve their physical fitness.
Of course, there are also various entertainment facilities in the lounge for relaxation.
After the seven-day rest period is over, the reincarnators will be transported from the lounge to the new reincarnation location for a new round of reincarnation.
This goes on and on.
Perhaps it is to squeeze out as much of the 'fear' of the reincarnated people as possible.
As the number of reincarnations continues to increase, the danger of the terrifying reincarnation space will continue to increase.
They will walk on the edge of death again and again and experience almost endless fear.
New people who enter the reincarnation space behave very rationally.
Everyone calmly listened to the explanation of the man in camouflage uniforms, and looked thoughtful.
Lean less.
A slightly fatter middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties couldn't help but ask: "You just said that the danger of the terrifying reincarnation space will increase with the number of reincarnations. So even if we You can continuously strengthen yourself and even gain extraordinary power, but you still have the possibility of death."
"Therefore, only by leaving this space as soon as possible can we truly save our lives and be truly safe."
"So, is there any way to escape from this so-called 'terrible reincarnation space'?"
"Yes." The man in camouflage sneered: "Every time a reincarnation completes a task, he will receive a thousand points as a reward from the reincarnation space. You can use these points to strengthen yourself, and at the same time, you can accumulate them. When you have enough, With fifty thousand points, you can naturally escape from this space."
"Fifty thousand points?!" The middle-aged man exclaimed in shock: "Doesn't this mean that we need to go through at least fifty reincarnations before we can hope to escape from this space? And in this process, we must not spend any money. Earn points to strengthen yourself.”
"Hmph," the man in camouflage uniform still sneered: "It's too early for you to think about this now. You'd better think carefully about how you can survive in this haunted house!"
"This" the words of the man in camouflage clothes immediately brought the middle-aged man back to reality.
Although it was daytime at the moment, when the middle-aged man looked around and looked at the empty hall of the haunted house, he unconsciously felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
In fact, Chengshuo knew very well that it was impossible for these people to escape from the 'terrible reincarnation space'.
Because according to the information collected by the Mother of Pain:
This so-called 'horror reincarnation space' is actually a virtual world created by pseudo-people using modern technology, specifically designed to extract the 'fear emotions' of normal humans.
It’s almost like a virtual reality game.
Normal humans on the pseudo-human planet have had their bodies grown up in a petri dish from the moment they were born.
And their consciousness will be sent to the virtual world to grow up.
After reaching adulthood, normal human beings will be sent to the death space for reincarnation through various 'coincidences'.
And if the reincarnator dies in the reincarnation space, his consciousness will not really dissipate.
They will have all their reincarnation experiences erased and continue reincarnation as 'new people' again.
As for the strengthening that the reincarnations have received in the reincarnation space, and the extraordinary power they have gained, all of that is just a bunch of data in the virtual world.
These data can be modified by humans at any time.
The reincarnators in reality are just ordinary mortals from beginning to end.
They cannot live forever.
It is impossible to become a god.
It is even more impossible to escape from this space and gain freedom.
They will continue to reincarnate and be squeezed out of 'fear' until their lifespan is exhausted.
And this is the life that every normal human being will experience on the planet of pseudo-human beings.
In the living room of the haunted house.
After dictating the rules of the reincarnation space to Cheng Sheng and other newcomers, the man in camouflage suddenly glanced at his watch.
He grinned and said, "Okay, now that I've got one hundred points, that's the end of this explanation."
"What do you mean?" the middle-aged man said unexpectedly: "So you just explained the rules to us newcomers, but you actually got reward points?"
"good."
The man in camouflage clothes responded: "And it's not just about explaining the rules. There are also various other ways to obtain additional reward points in the reincarnation space. So although in theory, it takes fifty reincarnations to collect the reward points for leaving, in reality it doesn't It takes so long.”
"Of course." The camouflage man thought for a while, and then added: "As you become stronger and stronger, whether you are willing to take the lead in the end is another matter. After all, there are infinite possibilities in this reincarnation space. , it is not impossible for the reincarnator to strengthen until the end, even to become a god and an immortal existence!"
"Become a god!?" After hearing the pie painted by the camouflage man, all the newcomers couldn't help but breathe quickly and felt excited for a while.
Only Cheng Sheng, who knew the truth, always looked normal.
This inevitably made the camouflage man take another high look at Chengshuo.
"You are very good." He praised Chengshuo again: "Not only are you the best in physical fitness among the newcomers, you can wake up first, but you are also very strong in psychological quality, able to face various situations. Don’t be surprised at all times.”
"I'm very optimistic about you." The man in camouflage uniform said seriously: "In view of this, I will take extra care in the next actions to ensure that you can survive."
Ah this
Chengshuo glanced at the man in camouflage clothes unexpectedly and said casually: "Thank you very much!"
"When I help you, I am actually helping myself." The man in the camouflage uniform explained: "After all, with more teammates like you in the team, my survival rate in future reincarnations will be greatly improved."
The camouflage man and his two senior teammates were each carrying a military backpack.
After chatting with Chenghuo and others for a while, the three of them took out various weapons and emergency food from the backpacks behind them in front of Chenghuo and others.
Emergency food is compressed biscuits and bottled water.
As for weapons, there are pistols, daggers, etc.
The man in camouflage uniform distributed the weapons to Chengshuo and others, and reminded everyone: "In the reincarnation we are going through this time, as expected, there is a high probability that we will encounter supernatural creatures, that is, ghosts. And ghosts are generally not afraid of firearms. , or weapons such as daggers.”
"So I am giving you these weapons, at best, to help you feel brave."
"If it's not necessary, don't shoot casually to do good deeds, otherwise the gunfire will attract ghosts and it will end badly."
After explaining some of the most basic precautions, the man in camouflage clothing continued.
"Then there is food. In addition to the compressed biscuits and bottled water given to you, there is also a lot of food in the refrigerator of this haunted house."
"I just checked it with the supernatural prop 'Buddha Statue'. Although the refrigerator is not powered on, the food in it is fine and can be eaten."
"So I suggest that during the three days we stay in the haunted house, we prioritize the food in the refrigerator."
"After all, compressed biscuits and bottled water require reward points and can be redeemed in the lounge. They are not given for free, so save what you can."
in the living room.
The six newcomers, including Cheng Sheng, carefully accepted the guns and food handed out by the men in camouflage uniforms, while they kept saying thank you.
But the man in camouflage uniform said again: "No need to thank me, I have to pay for these food and weapons."
"When you return to the lounge, you must return my reward points at 150% of the original price."
"Of course."
The man in camouflage uniform added: "If you feel that I have made too much and feel that this transaction is a loss, then you can also return the weapons and food to me."
In a haunted house suspected to be haunted by ghosts.
In this case, it is impossible for the newcomers to return the weapons to the man in camouflage. After all, what if the weapons can really be effective against ghosts?
Coupled with the 150% price increase, it is completely within the acceptable range of everyone.
Therefore, the newcomers who accepted the supplies had no objection to the man in camouflage uniforms.
And while the man in camouflage uniform was distributing equipment and supplies to everyone and explaining the rules of the reincarnation space, the time had come to the evening unknowingly.
The light in the haunted house gradually became dim.
"that."
In the team, the middle-aged man couldn't help but ask: "Tonight, should we spend the night directly in the living room of this haunted house, or should we find a room to hide in?"
"Of course it's in the living room." As a senior reincarnationist, the man in camouflage clothes said without thinking: "The living room can lead to various places in the haunted house, which means that after we encounter ghosts, we have multiple escape routes. for selection."
"In contrast, if we all hide in the same room, once the door to the room is blocked by ghosts, we will only end up being destroyed."
"Not necessarily, right?" the newcomer girl wearing glasses retorted: "Generally speaking, the ghosts in the haunted house will wander in the living room or corridor of the haunted house at night. But hiding in the room and closing the door can often avoid them. Open a disaster."
"At least, that's the setting in most horror movies I've seen."
"Your analysis is good." The man in camouflage uniform said: "However, according to the laws of the reincarnation space, generally the first day of a task like this that requires the reincarnation to survive for three days is relatively safe. Even if you encounter a ghost, There is a high probability that you can escape and survive.”
"And it's only on the second and third days that the ghosts become more threatening."
The man in camouflage clothing pointedly said: "So meeting ghosts on the first night is not necessarily a bad thing!"
"I understand!" The newcomer girl wearing glasses suddenly said: "You suggested staying in the living room overnight, so that it is easier to escape."
"The other purpose is to figure out the patterns of ghosts' actions as much as possible on the first night, so that in the next two days, we can deal more calmly with the ghosts that become more threatening!"
"Smart!" The man in camouflage uniform looked at the newcomer girl and praised again: "Good! It seems that the newcomers given by the reincarnation space this time are all of good quality. Now, I finally don't have to be teammates with a group of idiots."
in the living room.
As time passed and night fell, a rustling of footsteps gradually sounded from the second floor of the haunted house.
The main body has the deep dive stage cultivation level and is the first one in the team to hear this voice.
He frowned and said, "Did you hear that? There seems to be someone walking on the second floor of this haunted house. The speed is very slow, as if they are moving forward little by little, and they are about to reach the stairs."
"Can you hear this?"
After being reminded, the man in camouflage uniform immediately subconsciously looked towards the stairs of the haunted house, and at the same time concentrated on listening to the noise upstairs.
'clatter,'
'clatter,'
The man in camouflage clothes heard the movement and whispered: "You are really right, it really has a voice."
After saying that, he looked at Chengshuo in great surprise.
The man in camouflage clothing is a veteran who has experienced three reincarnations, which means that his physical fitness has been strengthened three times.
His five senses are far beyond those of ordinary people.
So it wasn't surprising that he could vaguely hear footsteps upstairs.
But Chengsheng could also hear the noise upstairs, and he heard it before the man in the camouflage uniform, which confused the man in the camouflage uniform.
"you"
There is no electricity in the haunted house.
In the darkness, the man in camouflage took out the flashlight from his backpack and shined it at the stairs of the haunted house.
He originally wanted to ask Chenghuo something.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw a pig-headed man whose legs could walk upright and whose body was in a state of decay, appeared extremely unexpectedly at the entrance of the stairs.
The pig-headed man was holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and blood was slowly dripping from the kitchen knife.
The pig-headed man just stood at the stairs, motionless.
The moment they saw the pig-headed monster, everyone in the living room immediately drew their guns and pointed their guns at the pig-headed man.
Everyone showed an expression as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
What's more, his legs were shaking like chaff.
But fear is fear.
At this moment, everyone did not lose their minds due to fear, nor did they run around or yell out of fear.
The man in camouflage uniforms calmly gave orders.
He lowered his voice and said, "Don't shoot yet, and don't run around. Let's see if the pig-headed man will come down."
"that."
In the team, just as the camouflage man responded calmly, Cheng Sheng suddenly walked out of the crowd.
He looked at the pig-headed man with interest and tried to communicate with him: "Friend, can you understand what I say?"
