"The game... is really magical." Yi Zhongyu said: "When I played "Cat and Her" at the time, I just thought it was a pursuit and escape game that raised blood pressure. Now that I play the live version, I realize that it is So terrifying.”
At this moment, the lanterns in their hands suddenly lit up.
"The ghost is approaching!" Su Luoluo turned pale instantly.
When the lantern lights up, it means a ghost is nearby!
"Can ghosts be beaten?" Su Mingan's first reaction was this. If ghosts could be attacked, then the horror game would no longer be called a horror game, but would be called Burning Granny.
"Where is the ghost!" Su Luoluo pointed over.
At this time, there were still thousands of contestants lingering at the gate of the inner city. They were picking up the guards' firearms, and some Dream Patrol anchors were still meeting netizens and filming vlogs in front of the camera.
However, in the scarlet mist, a dark figure approached them.
With jet black hair, sharp and bright black eyes, and holding a thin sword as thin as frost, the "ghost" looked young, and his whole body was filled with thick blood mist.
Blood-red tentacles sprouted from the back of the "ghost" and bloomed like the other side of the flower. People were instantly pierced by the tentacles and sucked dry of their flesh and blood.
In the blink of an eye, the number of casualties exceeded double digits, and blood burst everywhere. According to this killing speed, the "ghost" can kill everyone in ten hours.
Fortunately, Su Ming'an and the other three were very close to the safe room. They walked quickly for a few steps, and Su Ming'an was the last one to close the door of the safe room.
The moment he closed the door, there were several "bang bangs" and blood-red tentacles pierced the door. If they were one step slower, they would be impaled.
"How could it be... Isn't this an opportunity for human beings? Isn't this a benefit given by the gods? Why is it..." Su Luoluo shivered and shrank in the corner, his pupils trembling violently.
How well those TV stations and media channels said - the opening of the first tower is an opportunity for mankind! It’s the dawn of a new era! But... why did she see the corpses of Dream Patrollers?
They died so miserably, like ants being crushed underfoot, with almost no power to resist. Those precious Dream Patrollers died worthless like this.
"The ghost's fighting strength is estimated...about six thousand." Su Mingan looked outside through the window: "It's not that it can't be fought, it's just over a thousand. It's indeed a foreign species. It seems that nine years ago, this place did suffer Attacked by alien species."
"What are the gods thinking? Why did they create such a game mechanism to massacre the Mengxun family?" Yi Zhongyu felt puzzled. People outside the window ran wildly and were soon annihilated in the invisible red mist. Gradually, only silence and corpses were left.
In his live broadcast room, some bloody viewers fainted from fear. The barrage seemed very quiet, and people began to get scared.
They finally realized that what the first tower brought might really be Pandora's Box.
[If we hadn’t opened the first tower... there wouldn’t have been so many people dead! 】Some people started to complain.
【My Goddess! My goddess, don’t die, don’t die! 】
[How could this happen... The anchor I am a fan of is like this... He is obviously still very young...]
[After this, there will be a second tower and a third tower. How many more people will we die? 】
…
The room was extremely quiet, and the three of them were silent.
Many Dream Tourists only participated in the first tower with the mentality of "joining in the fun", but never thought that they would face such a terrifying thing.
"I don't think the 'Tower' was made by gods. After all, He wanted to erase history, but the 'Tower' brought history back to reality." Su Mingan thought: "The 'Tower' should be something we haven't touched yet. Created by enemies—for example, the alien king."
He thought of the shadow in the starry sky - that was probably the alien king who had not yet awakened.
The alien king's awakening requires a great deal of negative emotion - in this case, it makes complete sense. As long as the Dream Patrol family is slaughtered and a lot of negative emotions are generated, the alien king can wake up quickly.
However, there should be other promoters of the "Tower". After all, you can get the Immortal Talisman Seal by clearing the Tower.
"Is there a possibility... that the tower has been here since the beginning?" Su Mingan thought: "It is more like a natural mechanism."
He remembered the Silver Star dungeon in the Dome, and you could get the Silver Star by clearing the level. Maybe the tower situation is similar to the Silver Star copy.
"There is something here." Yi Zhongyu squatted in front of a statue.
Su Mingan approached the statue, and a system prompt popped up:
[You can sacrifice your own flesh and blood to the gods in exchange for escape skills. 】
[Catnip: Apply catnip on your body and the "ghost" will not be able to harm you within five seconds. Requires flesh and blood: 10 points. 】
[Cat Bamboo Stick: Obtain a bamboo stick. When the bamboo stick touches the "ghost", the "ghost" will be forced to take three steps back. Requires flesh and blood: 30 points. 】
[Cat Cushion: When jumping from high altitude, you will not suffer fall damage. Requires flesh and blood: 30 points. 】
[Cat bell: When you are close to the "girl" position, the bell will ring. Requires flesh and blood: 40 points. 】
[Cat's Pupil: When the "ghost" approaches you within thirty meters, you will know the direction of the "ghost". Requires flesh and blood: 20 points. 】
[Cats for cats: You will know the location of nearby safe houses and speed up your basic movement speed. Requires flesh and blood: 50 points. 】
…
Su Mingan looked down and saw many fancy skills. It can temporarily freeze ghosts, speed up running, reduce breathing and heartbeat...etc.
He saw Yi Zhongyu take out a knife and start cutting his arm, as if he couldn't feel the pain.
"——Stop." Su Mingan strangled his hand.
Yi Zhongyu's expression was very decisive: "We need escape skills. Without these skills, once we encounter a ghost, we won't even have a chance to enter the house. You are more important than me. You don't need to cut. Just let me cut the flesh."
"Don't worship. Who knows if this is an evil god. The act of worshiping is very dangerous." Su Mingan said.
Yi Zhongyu hesitated for a moment, gestured with the knife for a moment, and had no choice but to give up.
Su Mingan searched for a while in the safe house and found a mutilated diary.
…
【You got it (Xiao Li's Diary 2)】
[February 2, sunny. 】
[Xiaowen asked me today who gave me the bell in my drawer. 】
[I told him that my aunt gave it to me. 】
[My aunt was the one who adopted me, but she was gone when I was very young. She was ill. At the last moment when she grew tentacles, she pushed me out and jumped from a high building by herself. down. 】
[Since then, I have been carrying the bell she gave me. Even if I got caught here, I would always have it with me. 】
[Xiao Wen told me that at my age I should have been in middle school, but I was imprisoned here. 】
[I heard that middle school students can carry their schoolbags to school, take notes under an electric fan, and do their homework while smelling the smell of chalk dust. 】
[It doesn’t sound like a very good thing, but I’m a little curious. So Xiaowen pretended to be a teacher and asked me to pretend to be a student, giving me a taste of what it was like to be in class. 】
【Class is very tiring, but Xiaowen is a teacher, so I am not tired. 】
…
Su Mingan put away the diary.
They stayed in the safe house for a while, the lanterns in their hands always lit.
"Why doesn't it go out?" Su Luoluo calmed down and patted the lantern in his hand: "Is it broken?"
She struck a few times, but the lantern remained on.
The lantern was on, indicating that the ghost was nearby, but Su Luoluo looked from the window and saw that there was no ghost nearby, only corpses on the ground.
Why is the lantern always on?
"Want to go out and take a look?" Yi Zhongyu walked to the door and pressed his hand on the door handle.
"..." Su Mingan was silent for a moment and realized something.
"look up."
he said softly.
Su Luoluo and Yi Zhongyu raised their heads——
Between the gaps in the ceiling, a strand of long black hair hung down along the gaps, and a pair of dark, cold pupils looked at them through the gaps. Scarlet tentacles flowed between the gaps, like thick blood.
——The ghost has been lying on their safe house, watching their every move.
Seeing the three people raising their heads, the ghost's blurry face moved slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Su Luoluo turned pale instantly.
"It's better if I exchange flesh and blood for skills, otherwise we will be stuck here." Yi Zhongyu said with a frown. If the ghost never leaves, who knows if the rules will change later and the safe house will no longer be safe.
"No need. You stay here." Su Mingan opened the door and walked out.
"Hey!" Yi Zhongyu was shocked - you are too bold! That was the ghost that massacred hundreds of people!
The next second, the ghost's scarlet tentacles moved and rushed towards Su Ming'an. Su Mingan summoned the wheelchair and steam spurted out!
White tentacles emerged from his back, tightly binding those scarlet tentacles!
Tentacles versus tentacles, like two monsters fighting.
Su Mingan dragged the white tentacles, like flying a kite. As the wheelchair rushed forward, the ghost was dragged behind the wheelchair by the tentacles, twisting wildly in the air.
With a loud noise, Su Mingan crashed into a tall building. He didn't know which floor he crashed into. He only heard a violent collision in his ears, and he smashed a bed board.
The white tentacles were cut off by the impact, and the ghost's figure could no longer be seen. It was thrown somewhere.
...The danger is temporarily lifted, and Yi Zhongyu and the others should be able to move their positions.
Su Mingan reluctantly got up. This was an ordinary bedroom.
A handsome young man sat on the bed and looked at Su Ming'an, the man who had descended from heaven, in surprise. The bedroom window had been smashed by Su Mingan, and glass shards were scattered on the floor.
"You... who are you?" The young man said in surprise: "Are you... here to save us experimental subjects?"
Su Mingan's head was dizzy. He must have crashed into the building where the experimental subjects were kept. The rooms here were very poorly decorated. He blinked, vaguely feeling that the boy looked familiar.
The glass shards reflected the glittering light, and the cold lights intertwined between them.
He looked at the name on the boy's hospital gown.
…
[Name: Su Wensheng]
【Age：10】
["Artificial Qualified Person" Experimental Subject. 】
…
"Who are you?" The young man raised his head: "Are you here to save us?"
The young man's arms were covered with fine pinpricks and there were residual slap marks on his face. He was so hungry that he was skin and bones, but his eyes were always hot.
…
[In order to shut me up, I was sent to a dark place. No light can be seen there, only endless beatings, scoldings and confinement. People say that this is where bad children stay. 】
[When I am so hungry that I am about to faint, I will think about it, but no matter how many times I think about it, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times... I will always choose to push open the art classroom door. After staying there for many years, my body gradually grew taller and my body was covered with countless whiplash wounds. 】
[Later, someone finally came to save me. 】
…
Su Mingan looked at the young man's tearful eyes.
He put his hand on the back of the boy's neck, which was full of pinpricks, and responded in a low voice.
"Yes, I'm here to save you."
"What's your last name?" The boy's voice was trembling: "Can you tell me? I want to remember you."
"Su." Su Mingan said, "My surname is Su."
…
[The person who saved me is called "Dr. Su", who has the same surname as me. He is a doctor with a just heart. 】
…
"Doctor Su." The young man grasped Su Ming'an's white coat tightly.
…
[Dr. Su said that Project Ark is an extremely evil plan that involves extremely large countries, cities, and forces, and it is impossible for him to uproot it by himself. It is a plan to "create qualified people". 】
…
"You are the test subject of 'Man-made Qualified Persons', Su Wensheng. Do you know this?" Su Mingan said.
"I understand. Please save my companions. Many of them are about to die. There is also a girl whose heart is about to be dug out..." Su Wensheng pleaded: "How can you break in so forcefully?" , can you rescue them? Of course, if you don’t want to..."
…
[Dr. Su touched my head and said I was still young, so go home and don’t get involved. When I leave the small town after taking the college entrance examination and become a big shot in the future, I will come find him again. 】
…
"Su Wensheng." Su Mingan touched his head.
"Huh?" Su Wensheng responded.
"You have grown up and become a big shot, so you are back." Su Mingan said something different from history: "You can uproot this plan with one person."
"Huh?" Su Wensheng didn't understand: "I haven't grown up yet, Doctor Su."
"You have grown up, and you are here." Su Mingan pointed to his heart: "...you have not left."
--You've grown up.
——Although the one named "Su Wensheng" is no longer you. But one-fiftieth of him is still "Su Wensheng."
——Su Wensheng, you passed the college entrance examination and left the small town, you became a big shot, you returned here through the first tower - you saved you.
History has shifted, and the dialogue in memory has been changed. Su Mingan seemed to hear the sound of the thread tightening.
"...Su Ming'an." A voice came from behind.
Su Ming'an turned around. On the broken glass of the window, a figure stood under the cold light. It was the guy who called himself Su Wensheng.
"You actually chased me here." Su Mingan said.
"Su Wensheng" saw this scene and was silent for a long time.
——Now, in a sense, there are three Su Wenshengs here.
Past, present, Future.
