"Transmitting..."
"Newcomer protection is established, the difficulty of the trial scene is reduced, and the transmission is successful."
"System prompt: You have entered the trial destination [Moonhowling Town]. The current time is 12 noon sharp."
"Trial time: four days."
"Trial mission: Kill 12 werewolves in Moon Howling Town. After the trial time is over, if the number of werewolves killed is greater than the number of surviving players, the trial will be passed."
"Mission introduction: This is Yuehow Town, a small town in the wilderness. It was originally a small town with only three to four thousand people. But hundreds of years have passed, and other villages and towns in the wilderness have been burned and killed by horse bandits and bandits. Once it was empty, no one dared to mess with Yue Howling Town. As a result, Yue Howling Town slowly became the only town in the wilderness, and it was also a large town with a population of tens of thousands."
"In Yuehow Town, there will be a blood moon night every five years. On every blood moon night and the previous three nights, werewolves will appear in the town, endangering the lives of the townspeople. The mayor of Yuehow Town every Whenever the night of the blood moon approaches, desperadoes and bounty hunters from the wilderness will be hired to enter the town to hunt werewolves and protect the safety of the townspeople. Your identity in the trial is the bounty hunter hired by the town mayor."
"System warning: Players are asked to abide by the rules. It is forbidden to disclose any unreasonable information such as taverns, trials, and the original world in the dungeon. Those who disobey will be punished!"
Tang Jiumin felt his consciousness sink. When he woke up again, he found that the scene around him had changed, and the above cold mechanical sound could be heard in his ears.
He looked up and looked around, and the scene changed. Now they seemed to be in an alley, surrounded by rough stone walls. Looking up, they were surrounded by two or three-story houses.
The ground is not the masonry or cement floor of the past, but untreated sand and gravel. From the entrance of the alley, you can vaguely see the street outside, which is also sand and gravel.
Including him, a total of twelve so-called players are currently waking up one after another.
And these people...
"Oh my god, why am I dressed like this? Western cowboy?"
"Kill a werewolf? Damn, are there werewolves in this world?"
"Where is this place? I'm going crazy. What the hell is this place..."
All twelve players woke up, and they were all the people in the tavern. They found that everyone's clothes had changed. Before, they were dressed in various clothes, but now they were all wearing denim clothes.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the alley.
"Someone is coming." Tang Jiumin reminded.
Tang Jiumin looked outside the end of the alley and saw a man on horseback stopped. There was a man inside who stuck his head out and looked into the depths of the alley.
The twelve of them appeared deep in an alley, the light was a little dim.
"What?"
Following Tang Jiumin's reminder, a group of people raised their heads and looked outside.
At the entrance of the alley, the man who stopped the horse fell to the ground. The man was wearing jeans and a leather jacket, but it was different from the players, and he had a gun on his waist.
"Hey, I'm the town sheriff, what are you doing here? Are you lost?"
Liu Ziyun saw the gun on the opponent's waist and was instantly alert. He turned his right hand behind the person and took out the pistol from his backpack.
The others were also very nervous, but their reactions were too poor. Except for the rich second generation who also imitated Liu Ziyun's movements, and the wealthy businessman Chen Min who leaned towards the corner with the darkest light, the others stayed where they were, not knowing what to do. measures.
"He, who is he?"
The female college student swallowed nervously. From the moment she entered the tavern to now, she was the one who had endured the most pressure. First she knew she was dead, and then the prisoner put a gun to her head. This made her still trembling.
"He said that he is the sheriff. This place should be similar to the West around the 19th century. This person should be the sheriff of the small town."
The person who answered her was a rich second generation. He was more adaptable than most people, and he actually had the time to observe carefully.
"Sheriff? What do you mean?" When the second-generation rich man said that the person he was talking about was a peace officer, many people around him changed their faces slightly.
Then, they heard the rich second generation reply: "The Sheriff is the police here."
police?
The middle-aged woman, who had been in a trance since being teleported in, suddenly became excited, and a light called hope appeared in her eyes.
"Comrade police, please save me!" The middle-aged woman suddenly burst out and ran towards the sheriff as fast as she could, leaving Liu Ziyun unable to stop her.
The middle-aged woman ran to the sheriff.
The other party said: "You..."
"Comrade police, please do your best and save us! We were inexplicably locked up in a tavern with no doors on all sides. There was also a weird robot there, and we had to complete the task to survive!"
"Comrade police, I don't want to complete any tasks. I don't want to kill twelve werewolves. Please save me and let me leave here. Please, my children are still waiting for me at home..."
Ah this?
The people in the back looked at the middle-aged woman rushing forward to beg, and many of them looked shocked.
Didn't the system say that it is forbidden to reveal any unreasonable information about the tavern, the trial, the original world, etc. However, the middle-aged woman told the police officer, and the other party was supposed to be a person in the trial. Could it be that the warning given by the system was false? of?
Just when a group of people were speculating, the changes in front of them once again exceeded common sense.
The surroundings suddenly turned black and white, including the Sheriff.
Under the gaze of everyone, the Sheriff returned to his horse according to the original trajectory like a black and white movie played in reverse.
It was so fast, it happened in the blink of an eye.
Then the world returned to color.
The Sheriff jumped off the horse again and entered the alley. When he came to the position where he had just spoken, the Sheriff spoke again.
"Hey, I'm the town sheriff, what are you doing here? Are you lost?"
The Sheriff said as he glanced at a group of people strangely.
But the players' attention is not on the Sheriff now, they are looking at the middle-aged woman.
There was only Tang Jiumin. He quickly glanced at the Sheriff. The other person's language did not sound like any language he was familiar with, but he could completely understand the other person's language.
It seems that the so-called voice packet in the tavern has played a role, which is interesting.
The middle-aged woman still stood still.
"It's nothing..." The middle-aged bald man who woke up Liu Ziyun looked at the middle-aged woman and accidentally muttered what he was thinking.
However, Tang Jiumin on the side found that the middle-aged woman in front of him was very abnormal.
Sure enough, less than a second later, the woman's body fell straight back, making a dull sound.
This turn of events frightened the others, as well as the Sheriff who came up.
The originally relatively relaxed Sheriff immediately touched his hand to the handle of the gun on his right waist and stopped in place.
"What happened to her?" The sheriff stopped, only two or three meters away from the middle-aged woman. He looked at the woman's fallen position in shock and asked the others behind him.
Liu Ziyun stepped forward immediately.
The people behind him seemed to be waking up from a dream and gathered around him one after another.
"What's wrong?"
"He won't die..."
Yes, the system has warned that the middle-aged woman violated the rules, so there was a scene where the Sheriff fell back strangely, and now she fell down without warning.
At the thought of this, many people's minds, which were already panicked and confused, now have an emotion called fear rushing straight into Tianling Gai.
In the suppressed panic of the group, although people gathered around her, they all watched the middle-aged woman lying on the ground with her eyes closed, and no one dared to reach out.
Except Liu Ziyun.
He put his hand under the tip of the middle-aged woman's nose. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "I'm out of breath."
"Dead, dead?" The two college students were so frightened that they couldn't help but take a step back.
Liu Ziyun didn't say anything. He then stretched out his hand to open the other person's eyelids, only to find that the other person's eyes only had whites and no pupils.
"He is indeed dead." Liu Ziyun's eyes darkened and he replied in a muffled voice.
Sounds of breathing.
The Sheriff, who had been ignored by this group of people, faced this change, especially when he heard that the woman who suddenly fell was dead, a look of doubt appeared on his face.
They were obviously bounty hunters recruited to their town. The group of bounty hunters in front of them didn't go to the streets to familiarize themselves with the terrain like other bounty hunters. What were they doing here?
Did some of them kill the female bounty hunter on the ground?
The Sheriff once again cast his suspicious eyes over everyone here.
"What are you gathering in a dark place for?"
Facing the Sheriff's question, the players looked at each other, and no one answered for a while.
has a problem.
The Sheriff's expression slowly turned cold, and he slowly pulled out the revolver in his waistband.
The less timid players, two female college students, and two criminals without weapons, all took a step back in unison.
The rich second generation subconsciously brought the gun that the Sheriff had carried on his back to his face.
The air was suddenly filled with the smell of gunpowder.
At this moment, Liu Ziyun stood up and picked up the gun in his left hand.
But instead of pointing it at the sheriff, he pressed the gun against the rich second-generation arm on one side, pressing down the latter's arm with the gun, and made a stop motion with the other hand towards the sheriff.
"Don't be impulsive, I am a police officer... We have just arrived here, but unexpectedly an accident happened. Our companion was standing here and suddenly fell down."
"Really?" The Sheriff's eyes flashed slightly. He saw that Liu Ziyun and the young man next to him both had guns in their hands, and he weighed it in his mind.
This group of bounty hunters should have been settling personal grievances just now, otherwise they wouldn't have suddenly gathered and killed people.
However, these people were all outsiders, and those who died were also outsiders, and had nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, he put away his gun and decided to turn a blind eye or close one eye.
As the Sheriff put away his gun, Liu Ziyun and the rich second generation also put away their guns, and the group of people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry that something unexpected happened, but you are all bounty hunters hired by our town. Please adjust your status as soon as possible, because next you will face werewolves that come out at night."
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, werewolves are very powerful, and many bounty hunters die in the town every time."
"Okay, your friend suddenly died of illness. I'm sorry, but I still have a lot of things to be busy with. Goodbye." After the sheriff finished speaking, he returned to the alley, got on his horse and left without looking back.
The players listened to the sound of horse hooves fading away, and then began to discuss the dungeon.
"What should we do? Listen to what the sheriff said, there are really werewolves in this town, and we have to fight the werewolves?" The female college student said anxiously. She collapsed a little, grabbing her hair and squatting on the spot.
"Oh my gosh, I just love watching those movies, but I can't, how could I possibly beat them, crazy, it's absolutely crazy here."
"I can't do it. I really can't do it. What should I do..."
The expressions on the other people's faces were not very good. From the sound of the system and the words of the Sheriff, they understood their origins. They became so-called bounty hunters.
The middle-aged bald man's face turned pale, and he looked at the middle-aged woman's body.
"Are we going to bury her now?"
Chen Min glanced sideways at the bald man who spoke, with some disdain and dissatisfaction.
idiot! Ask this question! Isn’t it troublesome enough?
Looking at Liu Ziyun who was a little confused, Chen Min quickly took over the words.
"There is no way to bury it. The most important thing for us now is to get familiar with the town as the Sheriff said, and the other party mentioned that werewolves are strong at night. Should we settle down early?"
"We don't have much time to waste. The sheriff here will definitely be able to handle the matter of the body. If we bury it, do you know where it will be buried?"
Liu Ziyun, who was struggling, frowned. As a policeman, it would be derelict to fail to protect the people around him. If the corpse is exposed in the wilderness again, it would be really...
At this moment, two criminals suddenly walked out. Liu Ziyun couldn't help but darken his face when he saw them.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing has been done, comrade policeman." A criminal replied with a playful smile: "Didn't that damn system ask us to complete the task? Let's complete the task."
Liu Ziyun narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the gun in his hand, and pointed the gun at the criminal who was speaking.
The other person shut up but shrugged.
When another criminal saw it, he came out to smooth things over.
"Officer, now we can be said to be all grasshoppers on the same rope, and we all have to complete the task of killing the werewolf. We are no longer the wanted criminals you want to solve, don't you think?"
Liu Ziyun said nothing and did not put down the gun in his hand.
When the two criminals saw each other's attitude, they couldn't help but curse in their hearts, but their faces did not reveal their hatred for Liu Ziyun.
"Comrade police, you have also heard about the mission. As for the police officer, there may be danger at night. If our two brothers are with you, you will definitely be worried, right?"
"So why don't we act on our own? If we are lucky enough to kill one or two werewolves, it will be considered as a contribution to everyone, don't you think?"
No one agreed, but no one objected either.
Liu Ziyun put away his gun.
"You are right, it is too dangerous here, and it will be even more dangerous if you follow us."
The two criminals chuckled and were about to leave when they heard Liu Ziyun's next words.
"We'll find a hotel, tie you up in a room, and prepare food and drink for you until this trial is over."
Oh shit!
The hearts of the two criminals were really cold, and their feet that were about to step out suddenly stopped in place.
Liu Ziyun looked down at the dead middle-aged woman, secretly took a deep breath, and then he spoke to the others:
"Let's go out and take a look first, but I think it's best to find a relatively safe place to stay first, so that it will be safer at night."
"As for the body... cover it with some clothes first. When we find the hotel, I will find someone to see if there is a place for her to be buried."
"I have no opinion."
"I-I don't have any objection either."
"Listen to the police comrades."
Among the group of people, only Liu Ziyun showed particularly strong strength. He knew how to shoot and was a policeman. He was a reliable person at first glance.
Invisibly, he is the person that a group of people most want to follow.
Reliable and safe.
But just after Liu Ziyun decided everything, another person walked out of the crowd and rushed to the alley alone.
[Logical explanation: Plot killing must exist. The meaning is to explain to everyone why the system cannot be said to exist, and at the same time it also promotes the plot. But here I have already hinted to readers: a single mother, her son has passed the college entrance examination, a middle-aged woman, and she loves her son very much. The accumulation of these may cause this middle-aged woman to be panicked and impulsive. 】
