Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god

Fern and Algae sat in the mine cart. Although they were a little relieved at first because Fern seemed to confirm that there was only one mine tunnel.

But they felt anxious again as they kept turning and going up and down the track, but they couldn't see the end of the road or the other mine cart.

"Damn, this mine tunnel is endless, right?"

Algae couldn't help cursing.

"It's only been a few minutes, but it's really strange... Why is there nothing? Is it just for us to play with?" Fern tried to comfort Algae, but soon complained, "It's totally against common sense. Is this design wearing out our patience?"

"Yes, yes, both of you!"

A sharp voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.

Fern and Algae looked back at the same time vigilantly, and then saw...

On the track behind them, under the dim light, another mine cart caught up.

However, that mine cart was not a square box structure, but only had a bottom plate, two pull rods and four wheels.

On the flatbed, the ragged skeleton was shaking the left lever frantically, making a creaking sound.

It seemed that it was because of his desperate shaking that the car was able to arrive first.

"You two have almost run out of patience, right? Let me tell you for free that the length of this track, at your current speed, will take about twelve hours to reach the end!"

The skeleton's mouth opened and closed, and it made a sharp sound again. It was obviously him who spoke just now.

"Twelve hours?"

Zao and Fern looked at each other, surprised at the number the skeleton said.

"Is he lying?"

Zao asked Fern in a low voice.

Fern shook his head helplessly: "This skeleton has no flesh on his face, I can't judge from his micro-expressions and body language..."

"But from the tone, it seems real."

Algae frowned slightly and pulled the mask: "Then treat it seriously."

Fern raised his head and looked at the skeleton, and asked proactively: "So, you came here just to tell us how long it will take to reach the end?"

"Of course it's not that simple," the skeleton said again, "Such a long journey, I came here to prevent you from being too bored!"

"I want to help you get rid of the boredom along the way, so... let's play a game!"

"This is the game our miners love to play the most - guess the mine rat."

The skeleton said, shaking the lever with one hand and waving with the other hand.

A ball of darkness passed over the old-fashioned hanging lamp hanging above their heads, and then turned into eight equally rusty iron bowls in his hands.

At the same time, there were eight howling earthy yellow rodents in a bowl.

Algae frowned: "Game? What does it mean?"

The skeleton laughed "kaka", as if he was about to explain the rules.

But Fern interrupted him.

"Wait a minute, before you explain the game, I have a few questions for you."

"Does this game have to be played? What will you do if we refuse you?"

Fern asked, and the skeleton laughed.

"Good question, of course - bang!"

As the skeleton spoke, there was a violent shaking and tremor in the mine tunnel, and soon, a section of the arc where they had just walked collapsed.

"I will bury you here."

However, facing the skeleton's intimidation, Fern and Algae were somewhat calm.

"So that's it, it's a forced game."

Algae said without surprise.

Fern looked at Algae in front of the Skeleton: "Are you sure you can kill him before he does it?"

"No, I don't even know the trigger mechanism for him to collapse the passage... and he's a Skeleton, I can't say how to kill him. Although I'm sure I can crush him within a second, what if he's just a puppet?" Algae explained calmly, "What's more, even if we can survive the collapse, we can't accept being trapped."

The Skeleton screamed again: "Discussing this kind of thing in front of me, isn't it a bit disrespectful to me!"

Algae ignored him.

And Fern also naturally seemed to be unaware of what Algae had just said, and continued to talk directly to the Skeleton: "I still have a question - is that the group of guys before us also playing this game?"

"Yes, they played the same game as my colleagues."

The Skeleton had to put aside his protest just now and answered.

"Do you want to know their results?"

Fern shook his head: "Not interested, but... I still have questions."

"Then ask."

The skeleton was already a little helpless, and it seemed that it had to answer Fern's questions.

"I want to know what is at the end of this passage."

Fern obviously realized this and asked calmly.

At first, she interrupted the skeleton just to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, gain a little dominance and test.

After all, in an unfamiliar environment, this skeleton, who is obviously the home NPC, has a natural dominance.

And Fern has keenly guessed that the next game will definitely be played by this skeleton as the host or dealer.

Of course, she has to disrupt the opponent's rhythm-and she has to do this before the game starts to get the best effect.

Especially when the game has to go on, it is probably not just the two of them who are restricted.

Whether this skeleton is a puppet or a subordinate, in short... it is not the controller of this dream.

Therefore, it came to play games with the two of them, and it also had an "order".

In other words, this game is not for the two of them, but for the three of them!

Therefore, the question of regaining the dominant position can naturally be more radical.

Sure enough, after hearing Fern's question, the skeleton seemed a little embarrassed.

It opened and closed its mouth silently twice, and then gave an answer with some difficulty.

"It's the owner of this mine... You will meet the respected adult, and he will play another game with you!"

The skeleton said, and Fern smiled.

"I see-it seems that he also asked you to play games with us, right?"

Fern said.

The skeleton nodded and said in a bad tone.

"Okay, you've asked enough questions!"

"I have to introduce the rules of the game now - this game is very good for you. After all, if you lose a round, you may just lose your life."

"I will open a section of track somewhere ahead."

"But if you win the next round - your mine cart speed will double!"

The skeleton said, and Algae couldn't help but sneer after hearing it.

"If you lose, you lose your life, and if you win, the speed will double... It's really good for us."

"Now, tell me how to play your mine rat game!"
