They are also fighting against fierce ghosts. While players in the real world are enjoying the game, the invitees who are pulled into the virtual world are not like this, but are in dire straits.
The number of people who successfully survived the first two missions and then entered the ancient mansion was only about forty or fifty in total. When the third mission was also the first mission after entering the building, everyone accepted it. Get the quest and go out.
Of course, some people were afraid of dying due to failed missions, but looking at more and more people around them accepting missions, Xunsi felt that it seemed more dangerous to stay in the building, so he accepted the mission in a hurry.
In this way, all the forty or fifty people left in a hurry, fearing that they would be left alone in this soon-to-be-empty building, and they had roughly taken on about sixteen tasks.
Before accepting the mission, Ling Mengyu specially discussed it with people like Suo Jian who came from the same ancient house. After all, they had worked together at least twice and lived there for several days. She had a deeper understanding than those people, at least she knew their names, right?
The goal of their team is to go to a pond in the north of the city where the building is located and eliminate the drowned ghost hiding at the bottom of the pond.
For a group of people in the 22nd century, it is naturally impossible to give them a bunch of paper maps, so Zhong Shanze is also quite user-friendly in this regard and directly transfers the maps to their CR bracelets.
"This location is quite far away," one of the people in Ling Mengyu's team estimated the distance, "It will take more than two hours to walk to get there. It's better to speed up the pace."
"But the stay time will be shorter, right?" Suo Jian once again pointed out the benefits of choosing this task, "This will make it easier to get enough physical strength."
With the end of the task collection, it is no longer the eternal night outside the building a few days ago. Thick black fog drifts away from all sides, making way for the invitees. If you raise your head, you can even see it. The bright starry sky.
As the black fog dissipated, the outside scene was revealed to everyone, "This building is really...outdated." This was what other teams said, but Ayan Mengyu and the others thought it was surprisingly accurate.
The architecture displayed in front of them was not the kind of ancient architecture that often appeared in costume dramas, nor was it the architecture of the era they lived in. It was more like what existed a century ago.
It was indeed as this person said. What appeared in front of the group of invitees who had just left the building was the appearance of a century ago.
Buildings from a century ago did not have those fancy multi-functions. They were just basic cement houses, which could only hold up to a relatively high height, but after all, the height was limited.
The road from a century ago looked dilapidated and full of potholes under the mist, which made some invitees worry about whether they would trip over something if they ran here.
A quick look at vehicles from a century ago will tell that the design was not designed to fly in the air, but to run on the ground.
The green belt of a century ago, I have to say, wait, wait, what is the one above? What was that from a century ago?
"Can this car still be driven?" The bright-minded invitees had already come here. Looking at the model that was quite backward for them, they kicked the door with their feet in disgust.
So everyone was not in a hurry to leave, and gathered around the car. After all, being able to ride in a car - even though it was a very backward car, was still better than walking on two legs.
People with sharp eyes soon saw that there was actually a key inserted in the car. Immediately, a brave person reached in and gently turned the key, and the car immediately made a roaring sound.
"It can be opened!"
This was so good that all the invitees went to look for cars on the street, intending to use these cars as a means of transportation or even a life-saving straw when escaping.
Only a few teams didn't get on the bus, and two teams chose the mission location that was relatively close because of the distance. They could even see the mission location just after leaving the building - this is also thanks to the fact that the buildings outside the building are only five or six floors at most. It's so high that it doesn't block the view.
But there was another team that was different. They had to walk for more than half an hour to reach the mission location, but they did not choose to take a bus.
There was an invitee in that team, and someone he had a good relationship with was in the other team, so before he got in the car and left, he curiously asked: "Aren't you going by car?"
Hearing this, the man smiled bitterly: "The destination of our mission is the parking lot. The purpose is to eliminate the fierce ghosts in the parking lot, so... I'm a little scared..."
As soon as he said this, the man understood immediately, so he remembered the other person with a comforting tone, and then left here in the car.
The groups that didn't take the bus also began to prepare to leave. They were still talking to each other before leaving, as if they wanted to use the conversation to dilute the upcoming fear.
"It's good for you. The destination is right there and you can see it directly. It's not like we have to walk a while. It would be troublesome if we took a wrong path and met other ghosts..."
"What's the matter? My team's mission is to deal with a hanged man. I don't know if it's a psychological effect or something. I seemed to see something shaking at the window of the building at my destination... …”
Then the two parties stopped talking because they found that this behavior did not seem to help relieve the stress, but instead made both parties more nervous.
As the group of people gradually moved away, the sound of conversation gradually disappeared, and the front door of the building fell into complete silence. Zhong Shanze looked at this place thoughtfully, thinking about how many people there would be among the more than fifty people. What about coming back?
Moreover, recruiting new recruits should also be put on the agenda. In order to have a source of running water, there cannot be only these forty or fifty people in the building, otherwise there will not be many left after a few missions.
The method of replenishment is also very simple. Zhong Shanze is too lazy to set up any new plans and directly reuses the old house.
It's still the same routine as before, go outside and draw people's consciousness into the ancient house, and then go through the two previous tests, that is, the two steps of killing ghosts in the ancient house and escaping on the country road.
The difficulty of these two links is really not that great. Zhong Shanze has greatly reduced the difficulty. Being eliminated can only be said to be bad luck or poor mental quality.
And if they can pass these two tests, there will at least be a group of qualified invitees who can enter the building and become new residents.
Calculating the time, when these old residents go out to do tasks, the first task at the ancient house should have already started, but this time Zhong Shanze is too lazy to watch it personally.
Because the process is almost the same, there is no need to worry about every detail. Just leave it all to the AI and wait for the results.
