players lead the world

Chapter 43 Soul Involvement
When he got home, he was in no hurry to play the world game.

Zhou Ze took out his phone and checked the time, it was 11:49 in the evening.

"If I remember correctly, the game time limit of "Escape from the Castle" is coming soon, isn't it?"

He clearly remembered that when he uploaded the score at 12:30 the night before yesterday, there were more than 49 hours left in the game.

Addition and subtraction conversion, it will be completely over at around two o'clock in the night.

"The first two games connected to reality immediately after the time limit ended. Will it be delayed this time?"

There are only more than two hours left, and he doesn't plan to go on a trip. How will the game plot in "Escape from the Castle" happen?

Could it be that the world game will throw him out of thin air to the wilderness of other countries, let him get acquainted with those fellow explorers, and enter the ghost castle together?This is not like the usual style of world games.

But there are no absolutes. His understanding of the world game is still very shallow.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, I cleared the game with a high score. In reality, nothing will happen."

Zhou Ze stretched and returned to the bedroom.

Since he wasn't sure if he would be involved in any incident, he didn't dare to play the new game "The Guide of Destiny" at this time, so let's spit out spirit stones for a while.

Lie flat on the bed and breathe...

In a blink of an eye, I don’t know how long it took.

He felt in a daze that his body became light and floated up uncontrollably, as if the earth had lost its gravity.

"what's the situation?!"

Zhou Ze was stunned, struggling to get rid of the status quo, but found that he couldn't even feel his limbs, and the angle of view was also very strange. It was not a normal human perspective, but a magical 360° angle with no dead ends.

Looking back, his body was still holding the spirit stone on the bed and breathing out.

"The soul is out of the body? Have I practiced to this point?"

He made guesses with his little knowledge of comprehension novels.

Before he could guess anything, the soul was forcibly taken away by an irresistible suction force, and his vision went dark.

When he came to his senses again, he found himself in a dark and dense forest, with a cold full moon hanging high in the sky. He was wearing a black outdoor jacket and had nothing but a small flashlight and a knife.

"..." Zhou Ze fell silent after seeing clearly what he was wearing.

This jacket is his clothes in the game. He was involved in "Escape from the Castle" and didn't run away. He didn't expect the world game to force him to participate in the game plot in such an inexplicable way.

Touched his face.

There is a mask.

"Mask? Illusive mask?"

Zhou Ze looked surprised.

He thought that no props could be used in this game, but he didn't expect a mask to be put on his face from the very beginning. There is no mask in the game. Is it because World Games deliberately concealed it or other reasons?
"Help! Anyone?!"

A string of cries for help in a foreign language sounded from somewhere in the forest.

Although his English is not very good, but with years of experience in watching Hollywood blockbusters, he can easily judge that this sentence is: 'Help!anyone there? '

"Sure enough, there is a language barrier in reality. Do I have to study English hard if I want to be in line with international standards in the future?"

Zhou Ze muttered, turned on the flashlight and followed the sound.

Soon he heard the sound and found two male and one female explorers. The appearance of the other three was exactly the same as in the game, so he couldn't admit his mistake, but standing in front of him actually had a feeling of both familiarity and strangeness.

The three explorers were also frightened by Zhou Ze who suddenly appeared.

Anyone who gets lost in the wilderness in the middle of the night and suddenly encounters a guy wearing a mask and dressed in black jumping out from the depths of the forest, it is a normal reaction to be startled.

"Oriental Swords Man?!"

What's the meaning?Can't understand.

But the three adventurers must have recognized him as the mysterious knight who was popular all over the world, so they seemed very excited.

"follow me."

Zhou Ze could only speak a few words in English, so it was better not to try to communicate, he yelled 'follow me' and turned around to leave.

Although he doesn't know how the world game threw him here, as long as the three adventurers follow him to the castle as soon as possible, he should be able to go back after the game is over.

Judging from the previous situation where the soul was sucked out of the body, even if this forest is not a ghost, there is a high probability that it is not the real world.

"Oriental Swordsman? Are you an Eastern Swordsman?!"

The awkward Chinese came from behind.

Eh?Can any of these three foreigners speak Chinese?

"You can speak Chinese?" Zhou Ze turned his head and asked.

The blond foreign woman said with a substandard pronunciation: "I can say a little bit, but they won't."

"very good."

Zhou Ze nodded slightly, it was a good thing to be able to communicate: "Do you still remember how you got here?"

After the foreign woman's intermittent description, he probably understood something.

This group of people were originally conducting scientific research in the ancient castle in front of them, but later they found that everyone else had disappeared and there was no signal on their mobile phones. They wanted to walk out of the forest on foot, but they wandered around nearby for a long time and got lost from day to night. black.

Well, the plot is connected.

This group of people did not enter the ghost castle by mistake when they were sheltering from the rain, but they were already involved in some unknown event...

Before he could continue to inquire about other situations, the sky began to lightly rain without any warning.

These raindrops made no sound when they fell on the ground, but when they fell on people, they were as cold and cold as ice picks. They penetrated through clothes and penetrated into the bone marrow. Even Zhou Ze shivered from the rain.

This rain is not normal.

It's fatal if you don't avoid it!
No time to chat, Zhou Ze shouted: "Where is the castle? Hurry up and go there to shelter from the rain!"

A group of four hurried towards the direction of the castle.

The old castle is not far away, only less than one kilometer away, and it takes only a few minutes to reach the gate.

After entering the door, the three of them suddenly lost control of their bodies. They were top-heavy and their vision was dark. They vaguely saw themselves walking up the steps and entering a small room. With the sound of the door slamming, they fell completely into coma...

"Huh!" Zhou Ze suddenly woke up.

It was pitch black, with the sound of pattering rain, accompanied by the faint sound of dragging into the ears.

He is familiar with this situation...

He fumbled in his pocket, took out a flashlight and lit it.

Sure enough, I and the other three were in the small utility room.

"Tsk, this progress is too fast, and I'm almost at the beginning of the game before I'm mentally prepared."

Zhou Ze rubbed his temples depressedly. He also felt a little dizzy, but relying on his mental strength far stronger than ordinary people, he barely got in the way.

He really didn't want to face that root monster, it was scary enough in the game alone.

Fortunately, he did not meet the monster in the last uploaded archive. There was a clone staying in place to lure the monster away. They had enough time to escape from the ghost castle through the secret passage and leave this strange world alive.

Just the bit of information revealed in the game is not enough to fully deduce the ins and outs of the whole incident.

But one thing is certain, this place is very close to the Netherworld, so close that as long as you leave the Illusory Castle, you will be completely lost in another world.
