Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

Mu Qingru shook her head and said blankly, "No, I don't know anything except hearing the countdown sound. Besides, the first person I saw when I opened my eyes was you. You should know my mission, right?"

Mu Luoxi heard this and a trace of worry flashed across his face, "Brother, this is a long story..."

Mu Qingru interrupted Mu Luoxi and said, "Let's make it short."

Mu Luoxi bit her lip, as if she was choosing her words, but finally decided to confess: "Brother, didn't Xingchen tie us together at that time, and I became your 'shadow'?"

Mu Qingru nodded and said, "Well, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Mu Luoxi took a deep breath and continued, "This is where the problem lies. Since I exist as a 'shadow', under normal circumstances, I should be teleported to a certain location in the castle with you.

But now, because I entered the game using the identity of Xingchen, I became an NPC in the game. So..."

Mu Qingru asked hesitantly, "So, who am I now?"

Mu Luoxi's eyes were filled with mixed emotions, and he spoke slowly: "So, you are in a special state now, neither completely a player nor completely an NPC. You may be the only one who can have both the player's perspective and the NPC's authority."

Mu Qingru replied: "You said you are now an NPC, what about Xingchen? What is he now?"

Mu Luoxi shook his head, with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes: "I don't know much about Xingchen. But don't worry too much. He has natural advantages and is safer than you."

Hearing this, Mu Qingru nodded and said, "Then what mission do I have now?"

Mu Luoxi thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute. The game hasn't officially started yet. If it starts, the dungeon consciousness will issue us tasks."

Just as Mu Luoxi finished speaking, Mu Qingru suddenly felt a strange wave coming from all directions, and then an ethereal and mysterious voice sounded in his mind.

"Player Mu Qingru, you have been selected as a special character in the "Castle Terror" copy - 'Observer'. Your task is to understand and reveal the secrets hidden in the castle without directly participating in the game process, and assist the real players to complete the final mission. You will have a unique perspective and abilities, please explore them yourself..."

After listening to this sudden mission description, Mu Qingru turned to look at Mu Luoxi and said, "I...became an 'Observer'? What does this mean?"

Mu Luoxi patted Mu Qingru's shoulder gently, his eyes full of encouragement, and replied: "It sounds like this is a very special mission, brother. Although you are not directly involved in the game, your role may be more important than any of us. Moreover, having a unique perspective and ability sounds super cool!"

Mu Qingru smiled. Although she still had many questions in her mind, her curiosity and desire to explore the unknown had quietly risen: "Well, now that I'm here, I'll make the best of it. I will try my best to complete this task. At least, I have to first figure out what I, as an 'Observer', can do."

At this moment, the air around him seemed to tremble slightly, and a translucent interface slowly unfolded in front of Mu Qingru's eyes, displaying various icons and information he had never seen before, as if it was a control panel designed specifically for him.

"Wow, this is..." Mu Qingru exclaimed, lightly touching the icons with her fingers.

Mu Luoxi was also stunned when he saw this, then he smiled and said, "It seems that your journey as an 'Observer' has already begun. Come on!"

Just as the two were immersed in the discussion of the new situation, a long bell suddenly rang in the castle. Then, the whole space seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force, and a depressing and mysterious atmosphere filled the air.

------

At the same time, in another corner of the castle, Shi Qi and other players are nervously making plans to prepare for the upcoming challenges. They each have different purposes and secrets, but their fates are connected by this sudden game.

The sand in the hourglass slowly flowed away, and time passed by minute by minute. When the last grain of sand fell, the entire castle suddenly fell into silence. Then, a low and long bell sounded inside the castle, as if announcing the official start of the game.

Little A appeared in the lobby of the castle, waiting for the players who had gone out to look for clues to come back. Soon, all the players who had gone out to check gathered in the lobby.

Xiao A's voice echoed in the empty castle hall, with a hint of mystery and urgency: "Dear players, the bell has rung, which means your first challenge is about to begin. Please return to your starting seats immediately to ensure your own safety."

Upon hearing this, the players all looked nervous and quickly ran to their seats in the middle of the banquet hall.

After everyone was seated, Little A began to talk: "Don't be nervous, let me first tell you about your identity, background and mission!"

Just as Little A was about to start telling the story, a cold wind suddenly blew in the castle, the candlelight flickered, and even the air seemed to become gloomy.

Little A’s voice sounded even more eerie in this atmosphere: “In fact, the role each of you plays in this game is closely related to the history of the castle.

In order to protect the privacy and security of the players, I will only briefly mention the player's identity, not his or her name.

XXX, you are the reincarnation of the surviving sister of the couple. Your mission is to find out the real cause of your brother's death and redress his innocence.

XXX, you are the descendant of a survivor of the crew. Your mission is to uncover the truth behind the mysterious deaths of the crew.

XXX, you came here to explore, but unfortunately you are trapped here and can't get out. Your task is to find a way out of the castle...

All of you came here to explore together, but unfortunately, the strange things that happened many years ago are about to happen again. Can you prevent the tragedy from happening this time?"

[Task 1 is now released: There is an undercover evil spirit among you. Find it, collect clues in a day, and then gather here at night to identify the undercover.

If the identification is successful and the undercover disappears, the release of the evil spirit can be postponed for two days, which will increase your chances of finding clues.

If identification fails, the evil spirit will be released immediately, and a special evil spirit will be added at the same time - "Team Wipeout". As the name suggests, identification fails, the mission ends, and the next wave of players are welcome... Good luck to everyone!!! After saying this, Xiao A disappeared in front of the players.

The castle fell into a dead silence, broken only by the occasional sound of wind coming from the window. The players looked at each other in silence.

"We have to act quickly and find the evil spirit's undercover agent." A player broke the silence, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

"Yes, we need to divide the work and search each open corner of the castle separately." Another player echoed.

So, the fifteen players quickly divided into several groups and began to act separately. Shi Qi and four other players formed a group and decided to search the rooms near the banquet hall first.

During the search, Shi Qi discovered a strange phenomenon: some of the room doors were locked, but through the cracks in the doors he could see that there seemed to be something abnormal inside.

She remembered what Xiao A said and didn't dare to force the door open, so she decided to mark it first and discuss countermeasures with other players later.

Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye it was almost evening. The players returned to the banquet hall, each with a look of exhaustion and gain on their faces. They began to exchange the clues they had found, trying to piece together the truth about the evil spirit's undercover.

"I found a strange diary, which recorded some secrets about the castle." said a player.

"I also found a secret room containing an ancient letter that seems to be related to the mysterious deaths of the crew," another player added.

Shi Qi also shared the unusual rooms she discovered and her guesses about them.

"I think we should first determine which clue is most likely to point to the evil spirit undercover." A player suggested.
