Wow, I can form an NPC in a survival game

Some ominous sound came from the stairs on the other side of the wall.

It sounded like the shrill squeaking of a wild animal, accompanied by heavy footsteps, slowly approaching in the darkness.

Yu Anle hid behind the dormitory door, his heart beating violently.

The rustling sound stopped at her door, followed by a frosted scraping sound, as if something sharp was testing the door panel.

"Knock, knock, knock." The quiet night was broken by a sudden knock on the door. A child's shrill voice sounded outside the door: "Teacher, open the door. It's dark outside."

Yu Anle held his breath.

She knew that what was outside the door was definitely not a good thing, and she must not open the door at this time.

There was no response, and the knocking on the door gradually turned into a frantic banging on it.

The voices of the boy and the girl mixed together, sharp and piercing, as if they were enough to pierce the eardrums: "Ka-ka-ka, teacher, please open the door. We are so hungry, so hungry, so hungry, so hungry - I want to eat, eat, eat -"

The horrible voice was full of madness and desire, making people's scalps tingle.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The banging on the door became louder and louder. Yu Anle quickly pushed the desk and chair in the room towards the door, using all his strength to secure them behind the door. Then he quickly ran back to the bedroom and blocked his ears with a quilt to block out the earring sound.

She tried hard to comfort herself in her heart:

Don’t be afraid! Old horror game players said that as long as she survives until midnight on the first night, she can unlock her own unique skills!

What's outside the door is subject to the [rules] and can't come in!

On the wall, the ticking sound of the second hand was almost inaudible amid the sound of the monster banging on the door.

Finally, when the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand came together, the familiar prompt panel appeared in front of Yu Anle:

[Congratulations to the players for successfully completing the first day of the dungeon]

[The system is reading the player's core data... Novice rewards are being drawn...]

[Rewards have been drawn]

[Congratulations on acquiring the skill: Please join my team]

[Skill level: 1]

[Skill Description: Allows players to invite an NPC from any instance to join the team. After the NPC joins the team, it will be free from the instance control. As long as it remains in the team, it can shed its NPC identity and become a formal player, enjoying the same rights and experience as other players. Team leader Yu Anle will automatically gain half of the experience gained by the NPC in the instance.]

[NPC team limit, current number 0/1. Skill upgrades can increase the team limit. ]

Yu Anle looked at his skill panel and thought of the NPCs he met in the dungeon.

Those monsters... they all had identical faces, like copy-pasted puppets. When they opened their mouths, you could see their sticky tongues, emitting a foul odor.

Is she going to team up with such a monster?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but run to the toilet and vomited frantically.

===

one day ago.

The orphanage of "Baicaoyuan Children's Home".

Yu Anle just thought he had died in a car accident, but in the blink of an eye he appeared here with four other people of different looks.

She suppressed her doubts and observed: there was a female student wearing JK clothes with twin ponytails, a dark and burly middle-aged uncle in shorts, a thin and tall male white-collar worker wearing glasses and a suit, and a greasy man with a big belly who was screaming miserably: "Help, there is a murderer with a gun! I've been shot!"

Suddenly, a panel floated in front of her eyes:

[The player dies in the real world and meets the conditions for opening the dungeon. ]

[You are in a horror escape game. Players who survive and complete the ultimate challenge will get the right to make a wish. You can wish for resurrection, immortality, and anything else you want.]

[Current game instance name: Baicaoyuan Children's Home]

[Number of people in the dungeon: 5]

[The copy has been loaded successfully. I wish you a happy game. 】

Then the panel disappeared from her sight like a turned-off television screen.

Yu Anle didn't have time to think about what this meant. The burly uncle next to him looked at everyone coldly and asked, "Newcomer?"

Everyone looked at him except the screaming greasy man with a big belly.

The uncle sighed and said, "My name is Shao Dahai, and I am an old player who has experienced three copies. Don't doubt it, you have now entered a world beyond scientific explanation - a horror game world. The prerequisite for entering this game is that you are already dead in reality.

The horror dungeon requires all of us to collect and decipher the truth of the entire dungeon, and the dungeon plot will not end until it is completed. Before the dungeon ends, do not dream of escaping from the scope or setting of the dungeon, otherwise you will surely die.

I hope you can follow my instructions in order to clear the game. I will explain the details in detail when the story begins. "

As he said this, he pushed open the orphanage's strange old door with a creaky sound and motioned for everyone to follow.

The screaming middle-aged man with a big belly stood up, shaking his fat body, and seemed to be in a state of madness: "Are you crazy? I've been shot and I'm dying! I don't have time to joke with you!" Then he rushed out in the opposite direction of the orphanage gate.

A crack suddenly appeared on the road, as if reality was torn apart, and a monster that could not be explained by science slowly emerged. Its body was twisted and distorted, like the medium on a TV screen, glowing with a cold light.

The monster's tentacles quickly grabbed the big-bellied man. He let out a shrill scream, and his body seemed to be crushed in the monster's grasp, turning into a bloody mist in an instant.

Everything around was frozen in this horrifying scene, and the air was filled with the smell of death.

When Yu Anle suddenly saw the blood, he felt uncontrollably nauseous and palpitating, and he quickly looked away.

The JK girl and the guy with glasses were also frightened and their faces turned pale.

Shao Dahai looked calm, as if he was accustomed to death, and said: "Now you believe what I say, only by doing as I say can you survive." After that, he stopped talking nonsense and pushed the door to enter the children's home.

Yu Anle took a deep breath to suppress the urge to vomit, then raised his feet and followed.

Inadvertently, she saw a blood-red notice posted by the gate: "Sincerely thank Anor Biotech, Universal Biopharmaceuticals and Eden Biosciences for their generous sponsorship of Baicaoyuan Children's Home, which enables us to continue to provide better care and support for orphans."

Yu Anle secretly took note of this content.

After the four survivors entered, they saw the orphanage building standing in the gray fog.

The warm white facade is new, three stories high, and there are children's play facilities outdoors. Compared with the old and weird gate at the entrance, it seems out of place.

The automatic door moved to the sides, like the gaping mouth of a monster, welcoming them to fall into its trap.

A tall male employee in a blue short-sleeved uniform stood at the door, with the following words embroidered delicately on his chest:

【Baicaoyuan Children's Home-Zhao Yi】

He had an official, friendly and professional smile on his face, but there was a strange light hidden in his eyes.

The male employee said mechanically in a flat and indifferent voice: "It's a pity that one volunteer didn't come, but it doesn't matter. We have reallocated the number of children in each class. The children are looking forward to the arrival of the new teacher."

As he spoke, he stiffly took out four keys and a notebook from his uniform pocket and distributed them to the four people.

“Here are your dormitory keys and the information about the class you are in charge of. The staff dormitory is on the third floor. The lights in the Children’s Home will be turned off at 10pm until 6am the next day. I hope you can follow the schedule and have a good rest in the dormitory.

It is now 12 noon. Please return to the dormitory as soon as possible to put away your belongings and report to the classroom on the second floor before 1 pm. "

Finally, he still wore that stiff and professional smile and turned away. Every step he took seemed to be controlled by an invisible thread.

The air was silent for a moment, and the JK female student with twin ponytails timidly said: "I, what should we do now?"

Shao Dahai turned around, his dark and tall figure seemed to give people a sense of security: "What the NPC just said can be understood as part of the dungeon's rules.

First, our identity in this instance is "Teacher Volunteer". In the instance plot, we cannot do anything that goes against our identity.

Second, each class has a certain number of children, and there is a high probability that we will be dispersed among the classes.

Third, each of us has a dormitory, and there is a 'lights-out time' at night, and we need to rest in the dormitory.

Fourth, we need to go back to the dormitory and arrive in the classroom before 1 o'clock. "

The male office worker wearing glasses asked: "What will happen if we break the rules?"

"Something bad will happen." Shao Dahai raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. "At the very least, the ghosts in the dungeon will be untied, and at the worst, the death conditions will be triggered directly. Just like the fat man who tried to escape from the dungeon before.

Objectively, I don't want to reduce the number of personnel any more, as excessive reduction in personnel may lead to the annihilation of the group." Shao Dahai continued, "But I am not a public servant, whether you can survive depends on your own ability.

By the way, for new players who can survive past midnight on the first night, the system will draw a unique skill. If you can survive tonight, tell me the skill, and maybe we can work together to clear the level."

After saying that, he walked quickly through the front desk without looking back and walked into the corridor.
