Chapter 296 Preliminary Exploration
on the computer screen.
After the background introduction, the screen appears at the entrance of the town.
There is an old stone tablet with the powerful words "Huaishu Town" written on it.
Next to the stone monument, there is also a quite thick locust tree.
It is summer now, and the locust trees are covered with leaves, including a few yellow flowers.
These three words are written in red paint and look quite bright.
A lame old man wearing a white vest, with his chest exposed and holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand, stood in front of Su Ming and the others.
The lame old man shook his head and sighed: "Young man, if you don't want to go anywhere, why do you have to come to this town?"
"That's all, that's all, but now that I'm here and want to leave, it's too late."
"Just stay in the town for three days and then leave, and nothing will happen."
"In the meantime, you must not violate the taboos in the town."
"Well, the first taboo is that you must not leave the town during these three days."
"In other words, don't step on this town monument."
"Otherwise, a big disaster is bound to happen~"
After finishing speaking, the lame old man fanned his cattail leaf fan, shook his head and left.
A line of words appeared in front of Su Ming's eyes.
[Looking at the boundary monument, you feel uncomfortable. 】
[As a veteran of the ghost world, you understand that something dirty is entangled with you. 】
[If you don't listen to the advice and leave here, I'm afraid there will be real danger. 】
Su Ming guessed that this should be a quite severe restriction.
The thriller game may have used this taboo to restrict them from leaving this taboo town three days ago.
The horror game doesn't directly kill players if they leave town.
But let them suffer the consequences through this taboo.
To achieve this goal, the power behind this taboo must be quite powerful.
Then, other characters who were with Su Ming spoke.
This group of people jumped around and looked quite excited.
"Haha! How exciting!"
"What this old man said was so serious that the atmosphere immediately rose!"
"Brothers and sisters, don't be afraid. I am a chicken, born with a pure Yang body. If a ghost dares to come over, I will feed it with urine!"
"Yang Wei! Can you please stop acting like this all the time! If you continue like this, you may not be a child for the rest of your life!"
"Interesting! I hope I can really see a ghost this time!"
"Don't be like before, just do it for a long time and get nothing."
"Then just treat it as a tourist. The scenery in this town is not bad!"
……
Look at these little people with bubbles constantly popping up on their heads.
Su Ming had a sense of déjà vu as when he saw a group of supporting characters who were trying to commit suicide when watching a horror movie again.
He complained: "If the player's teammates are really this group of people, I'm afraid the survival probability will be greatly improved."
A character who likes to seek death and is not afraid of death can directly get a lot of information by testing taboos in the flesh.
By the time the thriller game starts, players will surely be better at replacing these characters.
They are all waiting for other players to step in front and help them find their way.
After all, if one could know in advance what would happen after triggering the taboo.
You will have more confidence in your heart, and you will have more time to think about ways to deal with it.
It's not all about adapting to circumstances and competing for quick wits.
You won’t die anyway, so let’s try leaving the forbidden town early to see what will happen.
Su Ming directly controlled the character and walked away from the boundary monument.
The other characters see him doing this and start to heckle him.
"Lao Qi still does things quickly, but he has to violate taboos from the beginning, right?"
"No, I didn't let you play like this! I just told you not to leave the town, and you violated it?"
"That's right, if you go out and you're fine, wouldn't other people's taboos become a joke?"
"The weird atmosphere that I finally created will be ruined if you mess with it like this!"
"Follow up, brothers, we can't let Lao Qi take risks alone!"
"What's the taboo? If you want to kill my buddy, just step over my body first!"
……
Led by a few pixel villains, these characters followed Su Ming and walked out of the town.
The lame old man who was leaving turned his head and saw this scene.
There was a strange look on the old man's face, and he shook his head and sighed: "If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a lot!"
This was the most stubborn group of people he had ever seen.
Those who came here before would not just enter the town and seek death like this. They didn't believe it at first.
But usually after two or three people die, they become honest.
The remaining people still have a chance to leave alive.
However, this group of young people who came over all committed suicide together.
Su Ming also didn't expect that this group of pixel villains would be so united.
It seems that the villain he controls is still very popular among them.
Su Ming: "Just right, with enough observation samples, we can see more clearly what will happen when we leave the town."
Follow the character through the boundary marker.
A black shadow dispersed from the Ring of the Sufferer in his hand.
The prompts for the thriller game started popping up.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
[The evil spirit of one of your props, the Ring of the Victim, dissipates and resists a fatal curse for you. 】
None of the characters who came after him died.
Su Ming: "Well, it seems that this fatal curse will only target the first person to leave the stone monument."
"In other words, its triggering is time-limited."
The head of the little pixel man behind started to bubble: "Is this really a trick?"
"You said it so seriously, but in the end, nothing happened when you stepped on the boundary marker!"
"Damn it, Lao Qi, it's all your fault. You just broke the taboo in Huaishu Town."
"Don't be discouraged, maybe only this taboo is fake, and there are other supernatural events in the town!"
"If it doesn't work out, just treat it as a vacation. It's quite comfortable."
"Then let's go to the town and look around to see if there are any other taboos!"
……
Su Ming: "Don't worry, it's not over yet."
He didn't believe that the crisis he faced could be resolved so easily after leaving the town.
As time passed, fog began to form around them.
Shashasha——
The sound of the wind blowing leaves is sometimes distant and sometimes near.
It's like something else is wandering nearby.
Boom——
A little pixel man suddenly covered his heart and fell to the ground.
Twitching wildly and foaming at the mouth.
This situation scared the other pixel villains.
"It's broken! Yang Wei is ill!"
"Hurry up and call 120, call an ambulance!"
"Where did the ambulance come from in this wilderness?"
"Take him back to the town first and find the town doctor!"
"Here, help me!"
"Where is the town? Why is such a big town gone?"
"Yan smash! What's wrong with you? Yan smash!"
"Swallows are also sick?"
……
Ten minutes later.
The group was destroyed in the thickening fog.
It was obviously less than a hundred meters beyond the boundary monument.
However, no matter how hard they searched, they could no longer find the town.
The pixel villains fell down one by one.
The character controlled by Su Ming lasted until the end.
His Ring of the Sufferer was constantly being consumed, and the frequency was getting faster and faster.
Until finally, he saw the thick locust tree next to the boundary monument.
The trees were hung with hanging ropes, and corpses were hung under the ropes.
【You are dead. 】
Su Ming returned to the main interface while thinking.
"Leaving the town directly is a dead end."
"It seems that we need to go to the town to collect more information before we can hope to challenge this taboo."
He clicked Start Game to start the next challenge.
