I tell fortunes for NPCs in a horror game

As Lin Xiangwan expected, Mr. Yan was not rescued in the end, and there was no way to save him. She also wanted to squat and see if she could encounter the black and white impermanence in "Return", but suddenly she found that Master Yan's soul had disappeared without anyone noticing!

If an NPC in the game dies, will there be a soul? If you refer to the red leaves, it means there is; if you refer to Master Yan, it means there is no.

But Lin Xiangwan didn't dare to draw casual conclusions. After all, the game "Return" was too special. And Chen Hui also reminded her not to treat "Return" as a game.

If there is no soul after death in reality, the two most common possibilities are that the soul is taken away immediately after death, or that the soul is swallowed by a more powerful ghost. No matter which one it is, it is quite explosive in the setting of the game industry.

Among the four known players, they are all ordinary slaves, and their character settings do not include Taoist cards. Looking at "Return" from the perspective of the game means that once an "evil ghost" appears, ordinary people are lambs to be slaughtered and can only wait to be terrorized.

Would a horror game that claims to have a clearance method take scaring people as its ultimate goal?

Lin Xiangwan had a splitting headache, but he didn't expect that playing a game would lead to various problems.

Master Yan passed away suddenly. Fortunately, Mrs. Yan took charge of the overall situation and prevented chaos. Funeral arrangements, condolences, decorations in the house, and mourning attire were all arranged one by one.

Strictly speaking, Lin Xiangwan and Jiang Xue were not from the Yan Mansion, so they did not participate in these complicated matters. In addition, Xin Gulan was always by Mrs. Yan's side, so they became the most leisurely people in the Yan Mansion.

When Yan Mansion hung up the mourning flags, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Wherever I go, my eyes are completely white, and the spooky index rises sharply.

Jiang Xue stuck to Lin Xiangwan's side and refused to be alone, but Lin Xiangwan acted like an old man and began to observe the procedures of Yan's house for doing white things. In the setting of the ancient background, Yan Mansion was more particular about the procedures of many big families than in reality she had come into contact with. Every NPC was busy, as if... these things had really happened.

At lunch time, everyone became hurried and nervous, losing the leisurely mood of yesterday.

Lin Xiangwan was thinking that today's meal was not to his liking, when Bai Wei hurriedly came in from outside and went straight to the table: "Xiaowan, I beg you, lend me your props, and I will return them to you."

"What props?" Jiang Xue asked curiously after swallowing the tomatoes and eggs in her mouth.

"There are no props." Lin Xiangwan said and gave her another piece of tofu.

Seeing that Lin Xiangwan was still indifferent, Bai Wei was really anxious this time, with tears rolling down her cheeks: "Xiaowan, tonight I will accompany Mrs. Yan to watch the funeral. Xing Gulan is not from the Yan family. At this juncture, Mrs. Yan will definitely let her She takes you away. After leaving Yan's Mansion, your risk factor will be reduced. Even so, aren't you willing to save me?"

"I don't have any props." Lin Xiangwan finished speaking and looked up at her, "Besides, this copy is called "Weddings and White Events"."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Lin Xiangwan meant that the crisis was not over yet.

If the white matter refers to the death of Mr. Yan, then what is the happy event? The most likely thing to talk about is the marriage of Xing Gulan and Yan Jingtian. Since Xing Gulan is the central figure in the incident, there is still danger in being around her.

Did Bai Wei ignore Xing Gulan because she was afraid? impossible. She was shrewd enough to know that by transferring positions with Bai Zhi to avoid danger, she would not miss the key element of "happy events". But she still put herself in the most dangerous position as she spoke, essentially to force Lin Xiangwan to give up the so-called "props".

Everyone plays games based on their ability. Lin Xiangwan would not be used to such a sophisticated egoist.

Bai Wei bit her lip and stood at the table refusing to leave. Everyone knew that this was a game, but the immersive nature of "Return" would unintentionally inspire everyone's desires and fears. Just like Bai Wei at this moment, her only thought was that she didn't want to "die" here.

In desperation, Bai Wei had no choice but to look at Jiang Xue: "Xiaoxue, can you help me persuade Xiao Wan? I'm really scared. Thinking of having to watch Master Yan tonight, my legs are weak."

Jiang Xue understood the feeling of fear. She nodded, but what she said was: "Then do you want to eat something to replenish your energy first?"

Lin Xiangwan couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter. Even in front of Bai Wei, she did not hide her good mood, which made Bai Wei blush with anger.

Bai Wei only felt that she was being squeezed out and stared at them: "You..." For a long time, she couldn't say a complete sentence.

Just at this moment, a voice came from a distance: "I finally found you!"

Lin Xiangwan turned her head, waved to the visitor, and introduced the others smoothly: "His name is Qian Bei, and he is now a guard in the mansion."

With an accent added to the word "now", Jiang Xue and Bai Wei immediately realized that this was the fourth player in the dungeon.

When Lin Xiangwan reviewed the situation to everyone this morning, she didn't intentionally forget to tell them about Qian Bei's existence, but Qian Bei was not an important person to her, nor was he important information about the dungeon, so she didn't explain it specifically.

But in Bai Wei's eyes, Qian Bei has become everyone's life-saving straw.

Even Jiang Xue's eyes lit up: "Is it 'Southeast Qianbei'?"

"Ah, it's me." When Qian Bei entered, he only had eyes for Lin Xiangwan. Then he noticed that there were two female players beside him and exchanged personal information with them.

Lin Xiangwan doesn't play games, so he knows nothing about Qian Bei. But Jiang Xue and Bai Wei, one of whom is a game master and the other a strategy expert, treat Qian Bei like a thunderbolt.

Qian Bei specializes in making horror game guides and became popular. He has a wide audience and is also well-known in the circle of "Return" game players.

After greeting Qian Bei, Bai Wei gained some confidence. I thought to myself, no wonder Lin Xiangwan had a safe night last night, and kept saying that he had no props and that his co-author was protected by someone.

"Beishen, why are you in the novice area?" Jiang Xue's interest was obviously higher than before when meeting the boss.

"I was hit in the intermediate copy." Qian Bei smiled bitterly.

The difficulty of the dungeon in "Return" is a world of difference even if it is one level lower. Even a veteran like Qian Bei was wiped out with his team in the intermediate dungeon. Relatively speaking, his probability of passing the novice copy is as high as [-]%, and the copy selection mechanism of "Return" only has the highest level limit, so he wanted to change his mood and make one more strategy.

Seeing this, Bai Wei couldn't wait to start getting closer: "Brother Bei, I'm scheduled to go to the wake tonight. I'm a newcomer and not very familiar with this game. Can you guide me?"

Qian Bei responded: "I came here to talk about this. I'm afraid we all have to go tonight."

Hearing this, Jiang Xue raised her head proudly: "We probably can't. We are Miss Xin's maids, not from the Yan family."

"Mrs. Yan just informed everyone." Qian Bei explained, "Miss Xin seems to have been left behind."

No one expected such an arrangement.

After all, Xing Gulan has not yet married into the Yan family, so it is obviously against the rules to leave her in the Yan family to watch the funeral together.

Everyone agreed to find a chance to meet up at night to avoid being alone, and then dispersed.
