How Did It Become a River Crab?
Page 85
These two urban legends, to put it simply, are like this.
The legend of [White Ghost Hand] originated from a dialogue in the original Pokémon. There will be an NPC chatting with you in Ziyuan Town. The content of the dialogue is roughly: "Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"
At this time, the player can choose yes/no. If you choose [Yes], you will be pulled into the space of the main god... Bah, there is nothing wrong with choosing yes, and if you choose no, it will trigger the most inappropriate sentence in the entire game .
"In that case... is that white hand on your shoulder?"
There are many versions of this sentence, but the meaning is almost the same. In some versions, the NPC will add a sentence "I guess I misunderstood it" at the end, and in some versions, it is simply silent, as a sub-confession. For the rare horror plot in the game, this episode was even teased by the officials and made into the "Pokémon: Origins" episode.
After that, people kept saying that they saw a real white ghost hand in the game, and even found it in the battle of Pokémon Tower, and gave a "screenshot", the white ghost hand in the screenshot It looks extremely ferocious (actually a bit silly now), and it also leads to a series of fancy legends that those who are defeated by it will disappear in reality.
[Buried Doll] is even simpler. Some people say that there is a hidden code in the game. When it is called out, it is a very, very scary existence, like a buried corpse. Players can trigger some codes to fight this buried doll. .
If the battle is successful, the buried doll will disappear directly, and if the battle fails, the buried doll will eat the player, and the game will end forever. The player's save file will also be deleted, which is very muddy.
In fact, these two legends have been confirmed as fakes. The biggest evidence is that with the pixel level of the handhelds at that time, it is impossible to draw such precise pixel paintings in the "screenshots". The red one is outrageous for a black and white handheld, it couldn't be more fake.
Even so, at the time these two urban legends still scared Xiao Sucai so much that she couldn't take care of herself, turned off the mobile phone with the emulator installed and threw it in the living room, and huddled under the covers at night, not daring to sleep.
In the end, Mo Lan received help from his parents at night, ran to his house in the middle of the night, and analyzed the irrationality of the two legends for the little beauty while pinching his nose, and managed to make him close his eyes.
Many urban legends are like this. If you think about it carefully, you can’t stand up to scrutiny. What you say in your mouth is hype. When you ask it for a picture or what original copy it wants, it just stammers "the original is lost", "the original is gone, All we see/hear now are improved versions", "cassettes were destroyed" etc...
In fact, most of the urban legends are nothing more than a subculture of Tuyile, which can be used to scare Xiao Su to adopt Tuyile, there is no need to be scared.
That being said, at least in this dungeon, the horror stories are true.
Under Mo Lan's instruction, Su Cai verified the content of these two horror phenomena with the professor, and found that they were basically the same in the general framework, but the degree of danger had been greatly increased.
[White Ghost Hand] The townspeople in Ziyuan Town will suddenly see a person they have never seen before on the side of the road, and talk to them the same words as the original game, but no matter whether they answer yes or no, they are still foolish. There will be a real white ghost hand on the shoulder, and it will attack the victim with a strong sense of fear until the victim faints or runs away.
The referee's father was attacked by the white ghost hand. He was so frightened that he broke his leg while escaping, so he was bedridden.
[Buried Doll] will wander around the town from dusk to dawn every day, chasing down any human beings who can see him, and it is said that there are even Pokémon killed.
Hearing this, Su Cai's long legs had subconsciously moved closer together, while Mo Lan lowered her head and pondered for a while without much reaction.
The moment the referee finished explaining the two urban legends, the system released a new side mission.
"The side mission [Ziyuan's horror] has been triggered"
"[Ziyuan Horror]: Investigate and solve the two major terrorist incidents in Ziyuan Town [Buried Humanoid] and [White Ghost Hand]. The current progress is 0/2. This task must be completed before the main task [Ziyuan Suspect Cloud]."
"Reward: 1000 endless points, random treasure chest X1."
Mo Lan saw someone discussing on the forum that after the tenth level, the rewards for side quests in dungeons tend to be treasure chests that can be opened immediately and instantly increase combat power. The purpose is to encourage players to do more side quests and explore more dungeon worlds. The branch line feeds back the main line, judging from the mission rewards of these few times, this is indeed the case.
After accepting the side mission, Su Cai, who was still a little bit in shock, asked, "Wo... I heard you say that the elf center here is disabled?"
"Yes." The referee nodded helplessly, "Miss Joy in the center of the town was attacked by a doll buried alive, which left a great psychological shadow. The Kemengs have moved out for vacation, and the local trainers in the town have all gone out or moved away, so it's useless for her to stay, and it will only increase panic."
Hearing this, Su Cai's face turned ugly.
The current average state of the team is not good. Although Xiao Laodou and Su Cai are full of blood, Mo Lan and Xiao Lao's health are below 30%. Mo Lan can barely recover once with the Vanguard Shield (Leftovers only work in wartime.), Charmander is completely out of the loop.
At first, I thought that I could "dum, thump, thump, thump!" in the elf center in Ziyuan Town, and return to a wave of status, but now it is nonsense.
Seemingly seeing what Su Cai was worried about, the referee looked at Mo Lan on the ground with a complicated expression, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, although the elf center is temporarily out of operation, there are some at home that can help Pokémon recover. If it’s really not working, we can go to the store and buy some medicine directly.”
"Elf Center is out of service, but the store is still open?" Su Cai was stunned.
"This..." The referee laughed awkwardly: "Employees who say they quit will be fired on the spot, and will never be hired again..."
……
The evil bandit capitalists.
After a series of communication, the referee brought one person and one crab to his house, saying that he wanted to reply to Mo Lan and Charmander here first, and take a rest to discuss and investigate the phalanx.
And when the two followed the referee to the door of his house, they suddenly discovered that the referee's house... was actually a key building in Ziyuan Town in the original work.
In the original game, it was run by the NPC "Old Man Fuji" to take in homeless Pokémon [Love Volunteer Pokémon House]. In the original game, the owner of the Pokémon House [Fuji Old Man] will give [Pokémon Flute], which is used by players to wake up Snorkel, also appeared in the origin animation, and it is considered a key NPC.
After walking into the spacious room, they saw a group of Pokémon that looked delicious at first glance, and an old man lying on the bed with a pale face.
The old man on the bed is exactly the old man Fuji in the original work.
"Dad, I brought someone over to investigate the situation in the town." The referee walked in front of old man Fuji, and at this moment, the two knew that this guy was actually the son of old man Fuji.
"Referee..." Old man Fuji opened his eyes with some difficulty, and his tone was a little helpless, "Didn't I say, don't involve innocent outsiders..."
"Wait!" Su Cai raised her hand suddenly, and after exchanging eyes with Mo Lan, she asked in a daze, "Why do you still call him a referee?"
"Why?" The referee also looked blank, "Is it strange that Dad calls me by my name?"
"...what's your full name?"
"Referee Fuji."
"Fuck!"
Chapter 150 Su Cai used a series of slaps!
After briefly introducing Mo Lan and Su Cai to the bedridden Fuji old man, the Fuji referee began to help Mo Lan and Charmander with their injuries as agreed.
During the treatment of the injury, the Pokémon taken in by old man Fuji quietly formed a circle around Mo Lan and Charmander, curiously looking at the two new guys they had never seen before.
Old Man Fuji is not a trainer, so most of the Pokémon he adopts are unevolved species that are not good at fighting, such as Eevee, Nidolan, Unicorn, etc. With the current level of Charmander, one spark can't make a piece in seconds question.
During the treatment, Su Cai, who was resting against the wall, noticed that there was a little Nidoran sitting at the end of the little ones.
This Nidoran didn't watch the evil claw crab and the justice charmander with his companions, but squatted at the back alone, looking down at the ground. Judging from the caring eyes cast by the little guy next to him from time to time, it didn't It's not like being ostracized by your friends, but more like being stuck in an intense sadness.
Su Cai thought of what the referee said before, "Some Pokémon were even killed by the attack of the buried alive doll and the white ghost hand", and his eyes stayed on it for a while before slowly moving away.
Soon, the injury was dealt with.
Speaking of treating injuries, the treatment in Pokémon World is actually very simple. You only need to spray Pokémon with wound medicine and PP medicine to restore its state.
Originally, Mo Lan and Su Cai thought that, as a welfare home for homeless Pokémon, there should be sufficient stock of medicines, but the referee took out all the medicines in the medicine box, and it was worthy of taking the little ones. The younger brother has recovered to a full state, as for Mo Lan, he barely reaches 60%.
When Su Cai asked this question, the Fuji referee's tone was a little helpless.
"Those who were attacked by human-dolls and white ghost hands buried alive, besides humans, there are also Pokémon. Since the closure of the elf center, many townspeople have been attacked and injured. The Pokémon can only be placed in the Pokémon House for treatment. Shan, I used up all the stored medicine, and there was only so little left in the end.”
"Where's the store?" Su Cai frowned, "Didn't the store still open?"
"It's on..." the referee said bitterly, "It's just that the price of all the wound medicines has been increased by ten times..."
Yes, really bring capitalists.
"Miss Su..." At this moment, the old man Fuji on the bed coughed twice, and said in a difficult tone: "If you think there is danger, please leave our town immediately, you have no obligation to get hurt because of us."
"It doesn't matter." Su Cai shrugged, "I'm here now, I won't forgive myself if I don't do something before I leave, won't I, Claw Crab?"
"Crab (the main task is here, let's go and grab it...)"
Of course, the two of you didn't know what Mo Lan was talking about, they only thought that Su Cai was an outstanding young man with a kind heart, and the referee couldn't help being moved: "Thank you, if there is anything I can help, please feel free to ask, don't be polite! "
"Is that so..."
Mo Lan and Su Cai exchanged glances, and Su Cai, who understood, covered her forehead and said with some difficulty, "In this case...then I will wrong the referee."
"what?"
2 minutes later, the courtyard of the Pokémon House.
"Snapped!"
Su Cai slapped the referee expressionlessly, and the referee stood there numbly, with a look of lovelessness in his eyes.
During these 2 minutes, the referee would be slapped by Su Cai every ten seconds, while Mo Lan next to him was baring his teeth and claws on the ground, looking like he was fighting wildly.
"...So Miss Su, what are we doing?"
The referee who was slapped into a pig's head said blankly: "Is there something that must be done by slapping me?"
"I'm sorry." Su Cai was obviously a little embarrassed, "But it's really a big favor..."
While Su Cai was drawing the referee, Mo Lan's blood volume beside him was slowly rising at a rate of ten seconds...
That's right, the two are taking advantage of the special effects of [Leftover Rice].
The effect of Leftovers is "recover 3% of the maximum health every ten seconds during the battle". It is obviously not wise for Lan to deal with the next battle with 60% state.
The two tried to hit themselves, and Mo Lan tried to hit a tree with a crab, but the former didn't work because of teammates' protection, and the latter seemed to be because the system didn't recognize the tree as an opponent... Anyway, it didn't work.
Therefore, one person and one crab were "forced" to take extraordinary measures, and wanted to see if forcibly beating the referee could trigger the "combat state", so that the leftovers could restore Mo Lan's blood to full.
The answer is yes, as long as Su Cai's series of slaps are strong enough, the system will judge that Mo Lan has entered a combat state.Immediately afterwards, the leftovers can be triggered, allowing Mo Lan to slowly recover blood in ten seconds.
But a slap is obviously not enough. Once Su Cai does not slap the referee for more than ten seconds, the system will judge that they have entered a state of disengagement. The good young man became a high-quality middle-aged man in Gao Laozhuang, and Mo Lan regained all his life points.
After doing this, the two sent the blood recovery tool man back to the room, and followed the tool man's instructions to arrive at the main task area called "Pokémon Tower".
The side missions must be done, but the two think that no matter what, it is better to explore the reality of the main line first. If there are any hidden puzzles or prop requirements in the main line, they can also pay attention to it when doing the side lines.
Just like in the game, Pokémon Tower is a large seven-story Pokémon mausoleum. Its decoration looks more like a modern building than a mausoleum, and there are no elements that will cause people to panic.
But at this moment, there are shapeless dark purple ghosts around the tower. These ghost-like things are slowly flying around the Pokémon Tower, with pale eyes looking down at the ground. When Mo Lan and Su Cai walked away When they approached, they coincidentally flew towards the two of them slowly, as if they wanted to swallow them alive.
According to the information provided by the referee, in the past two months, the gate of Pokémon Tower has been blocked by unknown forces, and the ghosts floating in the air are invisible and intangible, and they will actively attack anyone who dares to approach. It was for this reason that Ms. Sha brought the police back two or three times but failed.
But looking at these ghosts now, Su Cai's mood is still stable, because the appearance of these ghosts is exactly the same as in the game, and they look quite stupid. Players cannot fight these creatures before a key prop called [Silver Inspection Mirror] (also known as Shiruf Inspection Mirror).
When the players stood in front of the Pokémon Tower, the system immediately sent a reminder.
"You are approaching the [Pokémon Tower], the current area is blocked by ghosts and unknown forces, ghosts cannot be damaged by conventional attacks, you need to expose their real body by wearing the [Silver Inspection Mirror], and then you can use physical attacks to damage them. At the same time, the traps and obstacles inside the Pokémon Tower also need this item to break."
"Old man Fuji in the Pokémon House has a clue to [Silver's Inspection Mirror]."
Listening to the prompts from the system, and watching the ghosts slowly approaching from all directions, Mo Lan did not call Su Cai to retreat, but hesitated for a while, and took out two things from the backpack.
[Sacred Flame of Exorcising Demons] and [T-800's Sunglasses]...
Chapter 150 Nan Wulever Fire King Kong, the Great Compassionate Ghost Crossing
These two pieces of equipment, which are not suits but are better than suits, were drawn by Mo Lan with selected gashapon coupons. Combining the two together, a player without any gun skills can instantly obtain a level 10 gun specialization. Let the Holy Flame of Exorcism almost double the damage of before.
At this stage, for any player, it can be used as a core suit.
