Chapter 148 Rules and Inquiries
In Wang Zhifan’s perception, the hunchbacked old man with a very strange aura came to the three of them from the elevator in a few seconds. Then, before the three of them could speak, the old man said something. He turned his head, faced the young man in school uniform who was walking towards the sofa leisure area in the lobby, and shouted:
"Young man, come here quickly."
The old man's voice was not loud, even with a sense of weakness of the elderly, but his words seemed to have extraordinary penetrating power. As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhifan and others standing in front of him looked at When they arrived, the young man in school uniform who was walking towards the sofa area with his back to them immediately turned around, then quickly ran back and stood with them in front of the hunchbacked old man.
"Well...now that you are all here, old man, as the building manager of Apartment No. 444, I will tell you the rules here. I hope you won't interrupt. Wait until I finish speaking. Give you time to ask questions.”
As soon as the young man in school uniform came back and stood still, the hunchbacked old man first revealed his identity as the building manager, and then began to speak in an older man's slightly slower but still clear voice.
As players of the extraordinary game, Wang Zhifan and the other four were very familiar with this situation. They knew that this was an NPC explaining the background of the mission, so none of them deliberately interrupted the old man's speech at this juncture to avoid being disturbed. lead to unpredictable consequences.
"First of all, you must remember clearly that you are going to live in Apartment No. 444, which I manage, and not anywhere else."
"Then, since you are here Here, we should have some understanding of the existence of certain evils. I don’t think I need to waste more words on this aspect. You can call those evil beings ghosts for the time being. "
"Finally, you can firmly believe that in Apartment 444, as long as you don't violate the rules, you will be very safe and you can still enjoy it. Completely free water, electricity, internet, food, accommodation and other services. ”
"But correspondingly, outside Apartment 444, there may be terrible dangers everywhere, so I hope you will never leave the apartment during non-mission periods, and don't expect to find a way back to the real world outside. If someone doesn't If you follow the rules and go out without permission, I won't care about the old man if you encounter any danger and cannot come back. "
" Let me talk about the task, which is very important to each of you. "
"First, all residents of Apartment 444 have completed it. Potential candidates for the Scarlet Mission. Every morning at nine o'clock in the lobby on this floor, I will read out a certain number of residents. List and publish at least three scarlet tasks. Each resident whose name is called must choose to participate in any scarlet task within a limited time. Those who refuse to cooperate will bear the consequences."
"Two, choose well. Residents who have completed the mission in Scarlet will take bus No. 444 to the mission execution location before 10 a.m. and arrive at After completing the mission, take the same bus back to the apartment. I hope you didn’t take the wrong vehicle.”
“Third, the Scarlet Mission has a certain degree of danger. Some missions are more dangerous. These dangers are high. Mainly from those evil existences, which are ghosts in your concept.
Regarding these ghosts, you need to remember that they are far more powerful than humans and cannot be destroyed. It is very stupid to confront them head-on. All you need to do is to avoid them as much as possible. Unless you can possess ghost tools, you can briefly confront them. It can compete with one or two, but it can only compete for a short time. "
"Fourth, any resident of Apartment 444, as long as he can complete 30 tasks in total, can choose to undergo the final test. Once he passes the final test, he can leave Apartment 444 permanently and truly Return to a stable real life. "Okay, old man, I've basically finished what I'm going to say. If you still don't understand anything, just ask, while I'm still relatively free. "
After finishing the conversation, the hunchbacked old man looked at the three Wang Zhifan in front of him and said.
"I want to ask three things. One is about us. Is it considered that you have moved into this apartment now? Second, what is the content of the Scarlet Mission? Third, what is the ghost tool just mentioned? ”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Wang Zhifan, who had listened to a lot of what he said, said that he would not miss this opportunity to ask for information.
"Well... Regarding your first question, you have to wait until I assign you your respective rooms before you can actually check in;
The second question, the content of the Scarlet Letter mission Various, some are arriving at a certain place to spend the night, Some are to retrieve a special thing, and some are just to visit a grave. I will explain the specific tasks to everyone at nine o'clock every morning;
The third question, what are the ghost tools? A collection of objects that have mutated under the influence of evil beings It can be a pen, a knife, or even an inconspicuous piece of mud, but they will all have the ability to temporarily fight against evil existences, so if you can find a ghost tool during the mission, will significantly increase the probability of completing the task.
But old man, I have to remind you that the use of ghost tools will come with some costs. Some costs will be relatively small, and some prices will be high. You must not think that ghost tools can be abused casually, otherwise I will definitely regret it.”
The hunched old man answered the questions raised by Wang Zhifan one by one, and then glanced at the other people listening and thinking in front of him.
Wang Zhifan was digesting the information the old man just said. The young man in school uniform next to him then asked the old man:
"Captain, I want to know what you said. How strong are the evil beings? Can someone like me fight against them? ?”
As the young man in school uniform said, he raised his right hand and extended it to the head of the building, and then a ball of blue-white fire suddenly rose out of the air in his hand. It was very small and light, but the powerful heat was transmitted to several people around him in an instant.
"Young man, what are you..."
When the elder Lou saw that the young man suddenly performed a magic trick on him, he suddenly became a little surprised. However, his slightly surprised expression only lasted for a short second, and he shook his head and responded to him:
“Young man, I don’t know how you do such a thing, but according to my experience of that Understand these evil existences. If you want to rely on this kind of fire to deal with them, it will not be of much effect. As I just said, evil existences cannot be eliminated. Never confront them head-on. That will never happen. It’s the most stupid behavior.”
