players lead the world

Chapter 32: A Way to Live?Dead end!
Command the mirror image to attract the monster's attention, run in the opposite direction of the gate, run as fast as you can.

The mirror image clone nodded and followed suit, jumped up from the stairs and rushed deeper into the hall.

The root-beard monster was really attracted by the clone's footsteps. First, it threw out a tentacle to try to grab the clone, but the clone's on-the-spot reaction speed was much faster than expected. A donkey rolled and avoided even the main body. attack.

There may be a certain distance factor in this, but it also brought Zhou Ze quite a surprise.

There is a play!

The distance between the two sides was more than five meters, and the monster's roots were out of reach, and there was no way to throw it directly to beat people.

It dragged its heavy body towards the mirror image clone, and its moving speed was not much faster than ordinary people jogging. Even if the clone's physical fitness was not as good as normal people, as long as it didn't make mistakes, it could easily attract enough time.

When the monster is led away from the gate, even if ordinary people ran past it, it would be too late to chase it back.

"This game is easier than I thought."

A smile appeared on Zhou Ze's lips.

Is it because the game sells expensive and has low rewards that it is particularly easy to pass the level?

Seeing that the monster was far away from the gate, he was about to manipulate the character to run out of the castle, but suddenly stopped his actions.

"No, if I'm the only one who escapes, wouldn't the others be dead? This will permanently reduce the score... No, I have to read the file and bring those explorers down to run together."

He resolutely gave up the archive and chose to restart the game.

Still in the dark utility room at the beginning, turn on the flashlight to wake up the other three explorers.

Two men and one woman woke up leisurely.

They seemed to have been affected by some supernatural power, and they all held their heads and felt a little groggy after getting up. In the first few seconds, they were all confused and unsteady.

After waking up, the three explorers naturally followed him. He thought he would have to go through a CG explaining the situation to the explorers, but he didn't expect World Games to skip this link altogether. I don't know if it was to save money.

There are no dialogue options in the game, even if you press the interaction button in front of the three foreigners, you can't communicate. You can only say the English sentence of 'follow me'.

Although Zhou Ze didn't learn English very well, and he didn't pass CET-[-] or CET-[-], he was very impressed by the recurring words in Counter-Strike, such as 'be careful with grenades', 'follow me', and 'go ahead'...

It turns out that games are the best way to learn.

Off topic.

It doesn't matter if you can't communicate with the game characters, as long as these foreigners can follow him honestly and don't cause trouble.

No matter how he operates, the three people behind him will operate. For example, actions such as turning on the flashlight and stooping to sneak are all perfectly executed, just like the NPCs in Mo De's emotional game.

Bring the three of them to the lobby on the first floor.

When the three foreign explorers saw the monster hovering at the door, their expressions obviously changed.

Different small details, such as frightened faces, slightly dilated pupils, covering mouths with hands, trembling slightly, and taking a few steps back, can all reflect their true and rich emotions, and they are not NPCs without emotions...

However, the psychological quality of these people was pretty good. Although they were surprised, they did not make any sound. Common scenes in horror movies such as screaming or making noises by mistake did not appear.

The three explorers followed behind Zhou Ze with bated breath, taking him as the backbone, obeying his orders, and no one acted rashly.

Zhou Ze was slightly surprised: "These guys are so good? I almost wonder if this is a world game."

But as long as you can pass the customs smoothly, these innocuous details don't matter.

He called out the clone again and let it run to attract the monster's attention.

Just like last time, the mirror image clone perfectly completed the bait task, leading the root monsters to the depths of the hall, leaving them enough time to escape through the gate of the castle.

"The game was cleared very quickly this time, and it ended perfectly in less than half an hour."

Looking at the half-closed door close at hand, Zhou Ze seems to have foreseen the perfect settlement evaluation of customs clearance...

But after he led the three-person team to rush out of the gate of the castle while the monster was being lured away, what popped up on the screen was not the score settlement of the game clearance, but a bloody prompt box!

[The souls of you and the 3 explorers are lost in the netherworld, the game fails. 】

[The death of 3 explorers was detected, and the score of this game was permanently reduced by 3 points. 】

Zhou Ze's smile froze on his face.

"Failed? How is it possible!"

Resisting the urge to slam the handle, he took out a can of cold drink from the refrigerator and drank a few sips to stabilize his mood.

Isn't the door in the castle hall an escape exit?
Obviously there are monsters guarding it, normally it must be the only way to go, but in the end I tried my best to run out but found that it was a dead end...

This game is too stupid to deceive players, setting up such a misleading trap, isn't this intentional to make people mentality.

It seems that he is still too young to understand the showy routines of the world game.

He also saw the phrase 'soul lost in the nether world' when he jumped out of the window and threw himself into the lake for the first time, so it was not a coincidence.

What exactly does this sentence mean?What is the deep meaning behind it, the soul is lost...not only the lake leads to the nether world, but even the gate of the ancient castle leads to the nether world?So where is the real way out?

"Did I overlook some key element, or is the gate of the castle really a dead end?"

Zhou Ze thought deeply while drinking the fat house happy water: "Sure enough, you can't underestimate the difficulty of the world game. This time, you don't need to work hard. It seems that you need to work hard on intelligence."

Based on his ten years of experience as a veteran player, two conclusions can be drawn.

Either the game deliberately disguises the dead end as a living way, or the survival ending needs to collect some special props to trigger it.

It is not uncommon to need props to clear the level. For example, a game needs to find a special gas mask before entering the poisonous gas street, or a game needs to wear a consecrated cross to save life before entering a certain haunted house. There are countless similar examples...

Of course, the possibility that the gate of the ancient castle is a dead end is not out of the question, who can understand the pissing nature of quasi-world games?
He was about to restart the game and continue to study.

The doorbell rang suddenly.

He was so scared that he quickly disconnected from the world game on a conditioned reflex, and the TV jumped to the candidate interface of the program channel.

"who?"

Zhou Ze felt vigilant.

After he resigned from the company, he didn't have any particularly acquainted friends around him who knew his home address. Logically speaking, it was impossible for anyone to make a special trip to find him.

Even the salesmen look down on this kind of suburban community. Except for the occasional visits from the maintenance staff of the natural gas company, there are only aunts who come to collect property fees all year round.

And he has already paid the property fee of the community in advance, and he only came for the natural gas maintenance half a month ago...
