A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Humans tend to be terrified of the unknown.Therefore, most people are afraid of darkness, on the contrary, light can effectively dispel the panic in their hearts.

However, at this moment, even though the light here is very sufficient—no, it is precisely because of the sufficient light here that the figure in the distance looks particularly eerie and terrifying.

The bright light shone on it, illuminating its whole body clearly, even at such a distance, several people could easily see its appearance clearly.

It - the monster standing quietly at the other end of the line of sight, although it has a human-like shape, it is definitely not human.

It is more than three meters tall, and its whole shape looks like an elongated human being, but no matter its size or color, it looks like a bronze statue.

Strangely, its body was broken in two from the waist and abdomen, the entire belly disappeared, and a bone was faintly visible at the broken part.

The empty section in the middle is pierced by a black stick, making it look like a scarecrow standing on a stick.

Its hands hang down naturally on both sides of its body, and its arms are also elongated and thin. The front half is like two awls.And under its armpit, two other hands protruded; two very normal human hands, which are incompatible with this body, seem to be implanted things.

Its legs are not uniform in thickness. A normal person's leg has only one knee joint, but it seems to have three.If you look carefully, you can tell that its legs are actually made up of four legs spliced ​​up and down. The shape of the upper and lower parts is very different, and it is obviously taken from two completely different people.

This—is one, an alien spliced ​​together by two human bodies!

Its body was covered with tattered cloth, and the torn cloth strips of different materials and colors were mixed together, clearly marking the parts of it from different humans.

——The moment he saw this monster, Fang Shiqing suddenly understood why the previous armor had no belly.Although I don't know the specific connection between it and the armor, it is obvious that the abnormality on those armors is the reflection of this monster.

"Ugh..."

You Qingyu let out a sob from deep in her throat, she covered her mouth with her hands in time, blocking the sound in her throat.

"This, this monster..." She leaked her voice through her fingers, "It is definitely, it must be the final boss of this dungeon—it is really underground, how could it be like this..."

There is no doubt that the sense of oppression on it is completely different from the previous armors.

Fang Shiqing took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.That monster - the boss of this dungeon, just stood there quietly, without any intention of moving or attacking.

He glanced at its head, and was surprised to find that this monster had a very normal head.The head was human in size and shape, nothing more and nothing less.

It can be said that if you only look at the neck above, it is completely an ordinary person.

From such a distance, its appearance is already difficult to distinguish, only its eyes can be vaguely seen tightly closed.

This thing... Could it be, is it sleeping?

at this time--

The monster suddenly opened its eyes, and its eyes met him.

Fang Shiqing only felt a buzzing in his head.

Even at such a distance, he was suddenly aware that those eyes were watching them, like a hunter watching his prey—

A chill suddenly spread from the spine to the Tianling Gai, and he had goose bumps all over his body, as if he had been immersed in ice water.

The so-called "uncanny valley effect" is that the more "human but not human" something is, the easier it is to make people feel scary.This is the current situation: from those normal human eyes, there is a look that does not belong to humans at all.

"It found us! Run! Run!" Zhao Jun roared, rushing towards the entrance first.

Everyone followed immediately, scrambling to run towards the small door they came in.There was no sound from behind, and it was unknown if the monster had chased after him, but no one dared to look back.

Fang Shiqing rushed out with his teammates, and they passed through the stone pillars, rushed towards the dark hole, and returned to the bottom of the spiral staircase.

The people in front didn't intend to stop at all, they ran straight up the steps, and after a few steps, they were submerged in darkness.Zhao Jun seemed to have stumbled on the steps, and there was a sound of bumping and exclamation.

Fang Shiqing stretched out his hand towards the flashlight switch, suddenly shuddered, and looked back slowly.

A pair of legs - a pair of deformed legs made of four legs spliced ​​together, with a height of two meters, was blocking the door behind.

——that monster, it...

It followed out-

He took a few steps back abruptly, his back pressed tightly against the pillars of the spiral staircase.

A girl's scream came from nearby, but Fang Shiqing couldn't even tell whose voice it was for a moment.His mind was blank, he didn't know if he was overstimulated and caused himself to reach the threshold.

"Go up!" He turned on the flashlight at once, turned the light around, and illuminated his teammates from behind, and then jumped up the steps himself.

Not far away, the deformed legs slowly bent down.

It has three joints in its legs, two knee joints and one ankle joint.These joints cannot rotate freely, so they have to bend unnaturally, and they are turned in different directions, which is actually quite funny at first glance.

Zhao Jun fell, quite hard, his face was covered in blood, and his leg was twisted.Zeng Xin pulled him up and dragged him up.

Fang Shiqing stared at the monster closely.Seeing its upper body drop a little bit, the four arms followed and appeared in the field of vision.

Those two "normal" arms grabbed the door frame, while the two thin, sharp arms were still hanging down normally.

Seen from a close distance, the two "awls" looked familiar - they seemed to be the sharp cone-shaped objects that had sniped them at the door.

But according to common sense, this is impossible; here is 40 meters deep underground, and the monster in front of him can't reach five meters with his arms outstretched, and he can't even reach the ceiling of the "underground parking lot", let alone To put it bluntly went to the ground.

Unexpectedly, the monster did not continue to bend down, nor did it intend to squeeze out of this small door.It just grabbed the door frame and knocked hard a few times, causing the whole room to vibrate a few times.

Following the vibration, something fell from the wall next to it and landed on the ground not far from the door, as if it had been glued to the wall.

That seems to be... a book?

It is a very elegant notebook, the cover is very dirty and old, but the simple and beautiful pattern can still be seen.

Fang Shiqing hesitated for a moment, and slowly stopped his momentum of running upwards.

In the dungeon, anything that may carry information—newspapers, diaries, audio recordings, video recordings, etc.—may become key clues for breakthroughs.

What's more, the occasion where this notebook appeared is so delicate: in front of the final boss.He immediately felt that this might be an important clue about the boss.

If you don't take it, it may slow down the progress of the entire dungeon strategy, but if you get it, it may become a chance to win.

And until now, the boss hasn't left the room, maybe he can't get out at all?

He was originally a character who could risk his life for the progress of the copy, so he made a decision almost immediately, quickly took off the flashlight from his waist, and put it on the steps.Then he jumped back from the steps to the ground, jumped over, grabbed the book and stuffed it into the item bar.

Unexpectedly, when he raised his head, unexpectedly, he and the boss behind the door looked at each other again.

The monster looked down at him condescendingly.

Now the straight-line distance between the two sides is only a little over three meters.

The monster's face was against the light, and only a plain outline could be seen.Only his eyes flickered slightly, exuding the same hunter's breath as before.

From this position, the deformed and broken body became more and more distorted and terrifying; the broken waist exposed thick bone stubble, and red and white muscles, and black blood dripped down from time to time along the black stick connecting the port.

"..."

As a result, Fang Shiqing calmed down all of a sudden.

It is very mysterious to say that the five senses of human beings originally cooperate with each other and work together. They transmit the information of the outside world to the brain nerves, and only then can a complete impression of the outside world be formed in the brain.

And when the coordination among the five senses is deviated, people's sense of reality of the things in front of them will drop significantly.For example, when you have a cold and stuffy nose, you can't smell the fragrance, and your appetite will weaken even if the food in front of you is delicious.

Fang Shiqing is now in this situation.

Not far in front of him was a terrifying monster, staring at him eeriely, but he couldn't smell any corresponding smell in his nose, no matter the smell of carrion or blood—this was simply a deliberate reminder to him that the things in front of him How "false" the essence of the same.

It's not that this game can't simulate smells. The smell of earth and grass, flowers, food, and even the body odor of passers-by in the small town are very real.As for why there is no smell here... probably because the game system has done special processing for the physical and mental health of the players.

Fang Shiqing took two steps back, looked at the boss and found that it didn't seem to have any intention of going out, so he immediately planned to run to the stairs.

Just as he turned around, his peripheral vision flickered across the ground, and a thought suddenly flashed faintly in his mind——

Is the material of the ground similar to the position of the entrance on the first floor?

The thought immediately set off alarm bells in his mind.In a blink of an eye, he subconsciously jumped to the side, and at the same time, a sharp awl rubbed against his sole and pierced out of the ground.

As long as I slow down a little bit, I——will definitely not be able to walk!

But there was no time to fear now.He almost forced his full potential to rush up the steps, picked up the flashlight indiscriminately, and climbed up almost on the ground with his hands and feet.

It was a long time to say, but it didn't take a few seconds for him to go down to pick up things, and he wasn't even considered as falling behind, and of course he wasn't noticed by others.

The players ran back to the stairwell in embarrassment, and rushed to the platform at the corner of the stairs just like last time, before they dared to stop, each of them collapsed on the ground gasping for air, and no one spoke for a long time.

"That... that thing is too disgusting," Zhao Jun wiped the blood on his face with lingering fear, "The boss of this dungeon is just... that kind of thing? How else can we fight?"

"I don't know," You Qingyu gasped, "It...what the hell is it? It looks like a composite monster that put two people together..."

Zeng Xin didn't even cry this time, probably because she was numb from fright or too tired to cry.She murmured: "...It would be great if Brother Xiao was here."

Fang Shiqing was of course the last one to run back, his feet went limp when he climbed up the corner platform, and he almost fell on his companion.

Hearing this, he smiled wryly, only to feel that the worry that had been forcibly suppressed before began to overwhelm——

According to the routine of the ghost in the mirror dungeon, Xiao Fengdi might become the one targeted by the boss in this book, and it is even possible...to be caught by it.

If the boss falls into the enemy's hands, is there a way to fight against the boss and rescue him with only them?

He shook his head vigorously, pushing the negative thoughts out of his mind.It's not a question of "is there a way?" If something really happens, he will definitely go to save people.

"If I had known there was something like this underground, I wouldn't have gone down..."

Zhao Jun complained while washing his hands with the potion, "It's just, how do you say that word...spiritual pollution."

"...Don't say that, at least we have met the final boss, so we can be mentally prepared," Fang Shiqing said, taking out the notebook he had collected desperately, and placed it on the ground in the middle, "By the way, the one who ran outside At that time, I picked up this."

"Did you pick it up? Where did you pick it up?" You Qingyu was suspicious.

"Uh, it's not far from the boss. I thought it might be a clue, so I brought it up."

He was afraid that she would continue to ask questions, so he quickly opened the book and took a photo with his flashlight, "Anyway, let's take a look first, this book is quite beautiful, I don't know what it is—"

He suddenly choked up.

On the opened page, it was the face of that monster.

It is smiling faintly, its eyes seem to penetrate the paper.
