The Uncanny Valley Travel Guide

"I really saw a living ghost..." He walked forward step by step, looking around occasionally, "Inside...damn, the backpack is locked, if I knew it, I would have put the spiritual supplements outside for later use Already!"

At present, oppression from vision, hearing, smell, and touch is like a tide, coming from all directions, suppressing Xie Yuanyuan's spiritual value.He turned around the wriggling wall, and saw that the flower vase in the corner during the day was shattered into a pile of pulpy bloody flesh. The flowers and leaves were black, and the petals curled up and twitched. They were all veined and swaying there; he walked through the promenade and saw that the medieval knight's armor was stained and dirty, half wrapped in flesh and blood, and half corroded and incomplete.The alienation that occurred in the other world turned everything into an unspeakable strange life form. Every moment, Xie Yuanyuan's mental value was dropping bit by bit.

"No..." He gasped—but even with his breath, he could only smell the strong smell of blood, "I have to hold on, and then figure out... what happened here, why did it happen?" Become like this ghost..."

Naoren felt a dull pain slowly and unstoppably, Xie Yuanyuan tried his best to stabilize his mind, forcing himself to get used to the impact of this scene.

"...Huh? Is there a sound?" He raised his head, tried to distinguish the coordinates, and matched the world of flesh and blood in front of him with the normal monastery during the day. ... the restaurant?"

Xie Yuanyuan walked a few steps forward, the fire ahead was brilliant, not far from the steps of the dining hall, the stone tablet engraved with the holy words stood there deformed and distorted, like a sarcoma with many potholes, and many huge eyeballs opened , mixed with many tangled hairs and an ugly heart that is still beating.Behind it, the blood-stained door revealed an exceptionally bright light, and the sound of wine jugs colliding could be faintly heard.

"There are too many eyes..." Xie Yuanyuan thought in his heart, "If it is alive, won't I be discovered once I pass by?"

When he was thinking hard, he suddenly noticed some abnormalities in the corner of his eyes. He quickly turned his eyes and saw a humanoid creature staggering from the side of the cafeteria. It was more than two meters tall and had extremely long arms hanging down. Just like Jenny's eyeless monster, all the skin has been peeled off, revealing the bloody muscles underneath.Its eyelids were sewn with a few thick stitches, and there were only two blood holes left in its ears and nose. It only spit out a dripping long tongue from its huge mouth that occupied half of its face, and its intestines and visceral fluids were all hanging on it. Instep.

Xie Yuanyuan: "...What is this?"

That monster walked over unsteadily, holding a blood-stained skull in its huge deformed palm, Xie Yuanyuan looked at it like he was drunk.

"I seem to understand a little bit..." Xie Yuanyuan rubbed his chin, "If this is also replaced by a normal world scene, then it should be a man who drank too much... Who does it represent? Those dead letters? ?”

Looking at it again, he couldn't help frowning and said to himself: "Did you do too many immoral things in life, and you became such a shabby person after death?"

He cautiously took two steps forward, felt something was wrong again, and went back to look for it. Enduring his nausea, he pawed and pawed on the ground, grabbed a brick, and said in a low voice, "Graduation appraisal."

[Prop name: Bloody Brick]

【Level: D】

[Activation type: Instant activation]

【Cooling time: none】

[Attack power: variable]

[Effect: Noble Phantasm for the back of the head.Before the brick hits the back of the target's head, the useless attack effect and the one-hit kill effect are always in a superimposed state, so we call it Schrödinger's brick.

[Equipment level: 10]

[Introduction to props: With a brick in hand, you have everything in the world. 】

Xie Yuanyuan stared at this temporary prop speechlessly for a long time, finally put it back on his waist, and sneaked towards the dining room.

"One, two, three...twelve, thirteen...is something wrong?" He counted the number of monsters along the road, and couldn't help frowning in doubt, "I haven't finished counting yet, this...there are more than nine people? "

With a sound of "baji", the sound of sticky blood spattering came from under his feet, and he didn't know what disgusting thing he stepped on. The sound immediately attracted the attention of a monster. Come here.Xie Yuanyuan held his breath immediately, and quietly burrowed into the sticky and dripping bushes, not caring that the dark red branches wrapped around his exposed skin like tentacles, and he had already touched the brick in his hand inside.

The sound of heavy footsteps gradually approached, Xie Yuanyuan held his breath, and his heartbeat was deliberately suppressed to be extremely slow. As the distance shortened, the long-dead stench from its body gradually enveloped Xie Yuanyuan's head. Hold tight, and wait for the only opportunity with concentration.

The sound of the monster's exhalation resounded above his head. It seemed to be turning its head left and right. The blood wine made its movements extremely slow, because Xie Yuanyuan could hear the sound of dripping water mixed with the smell of wine, coming from the person in front of him. A shrub leaf comes up—it spills the skull flagon.

This terrible drink also made its nerves completely dull. After its arms slid across the branches and leaves again and made a rustling sound, Xie Yuanyuan jumped up suddenly, using the street fighting skills that Du Zijun taught him, Aimed at the back of the monster's head and swung it fiercely!

There was a muffled sound of bone shattering, and the killing effect was triggered instantly!The back of the monster's skull was like a watermelon that had been opened, suddenly pouring out a pool of black and red rancid blood, before he even had time to snort, he fell backwards and fell into the grass.

"...Damn! It's really okay!" Xie Yuanyuan tore off the tangle of branches and tendrils around his body indiscriminately, and jumped out neatly, "I didn't expect that even though the backpack is locked, it is not a loss to be able to do something with the things inside. gone."

He simply put the brick back on his back, continued to grope forward, and muttered: "Sneak, sneak, sneak...!"

As soon as he probed forward along the distorted stele, Xie Yuanyuan's eyes collided with a monster with a hideous face.

Xie Yuanyuan: "..."

monster:"?"

The figures of these non-artificial creatures are extremely deformed and tall, and Xie Yuanyuan can't reach them even if he stands on tiptoe. Seeing the monster's look of hatred and cruelty, it suddenly opened its huge ferocious mouth at him, and it was about to bite down with all its strength. For a moment, the body's reaction was faster than the brain's order, Xie Yuanyuan's eyes widened, and a brick flew out sideways, and also knocked desperately on the back of its head, bursting out a cluster of blood!

The monster hissed, but before it was completely dead, Xie Yuanyuan stepped on the rolling eyeballs of the stele, then jumped up, and in a slam dunk posture, he slapped it hard!

The body of the monster crashed to the ground, Xie Yuanyuan took a breath, thinking that this is really a perfect infiltration - killing all the people who saw him, wouldn't it mean that no one saw him?

Taking advantage of the fact that no more monsters were found, he hurriedly continued to run forward with his waist bent, leaned forward and hid under the steps, peeking inside.

The scene in the hall is like a terrible feast of flesh and blood. Red candlesticks are burning on the dining table, torches are inserted in the squirming walls, the dome and stone pillars are covered with convulsive flesh and the looming joints underneath, even the wall hangings The painted portrait of the Virgin has also turned into a treacherous figure filled with bloodshot eyes.In a hell-like scene, dozens of monsters eat meat and drink, and the corners are full of normal-sized dripping bones.

"...Oh my God, this is too nauseating!" Xie Yuanyuan just glanced at it, then retreated unbearably into the corner formed by the steps and the wall, "So, how do we find the cause of death in the dungeon tonight? How else can I find this?"

Before he could figure out why, his eyes flashed again, and a large amount of fresh and clean air instantly poured into his nostrils—his time limit was up, Xie Yuanyuan fell back on the chair and took a big breath, almost coughing and choking.

After disappearing for half an hour, when I came back, I was covered in blood and dirty. The remaining three people were very surprised.Du Zijun frowned and said, "What's the matter, did you fight someone?"

Xie Yuanyuan coughed loudly and couldn't wait to ask for water.Returning to the normal world for the first time, Xie Yuanyuan felt very kind to the wooden tables and chairs, companions who didn’t have any strange appearance, and the budding camellia in the white vase not far away. Regardless of his face being rubbed even more, he hurriedly said: "Tonight is super-super wrong! The world of the dungeon is full of blood and flesh, just... just and, how do I describe it, ah! Just like the Song of Sand!"

Du Zijun hadn't read it, and was still dazed at the moment. Wen Zheliu and He Qin looked at each other and said, "Speak slowly, don't worry."

"It's really abnormal and weird!" Xie Yuanyuan said madly, "The ground, walls, and the entire monastery are all made of living flesh, which is more terrifying than Haihe's inner world. I rolled away as soon as I entered Covered in blood, the backpack and props are still locked. However, I temporarily used the system to identify a brick, which can be used to kill the monsters inside, and we can do it inside tonight!"

"There are still monsters?" Du Zijun probably didn't know much about it.

Xie Yuanyuan nodded desperately: "Yes! At first, I thought they represented the nine letter guests, but I counted them, and there seemed to be more than nine, dozens of them, and they gathered in the dining hall for dinner... Uh, That should be considered a meal. Anyway, I killed two of them, and I was still thinking about how to trace the cause of death, so I was sent out."

Wen Zheliu pondered for a while: "Have you seen your own face?"

Xie Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, it's blood red inside, I can't find a mirror, but I can see my hands and feet are normal."

"This is very strange..." Wen Zheliu pondered, "They showed the intention to attack you?"

Xie Yuanyuan: "Yes."

"It stands to reason that you are playing the role of the dead. If the monsters symbolize Xinke, then they..." Wen Zheliu seemed to suddenly think of something at this point, "I seem to have a clue, you should wipe your body first... ..."

Before he could finish speaking, Du Zijun who was sitting on the seat disappeared in the same place with a whoosh.

[Hint: Start teleporting the second player. 】

"... Wipe it off." Wen Zheliu said helplessly, "I haven't finished talking yet."

Du Zijun landed suddenly, followed Xie Yuanyuan's position, squatting dizzily in the corner formed by the steps and stairs.The thick and viscous smell of blood, the slightly pulsating wall and floor with muscles and veins around him, and the terrifying scene in the banquet hall that seems to be out of this world...Du Zijun finally understands what is the song of sand.

"It's too late." A look of disgust flashed uncontrollably on his face, "It's really disgusting, this bunch of rubbish..."

He grabbed the brick that Xie Yuanyuan had left here before, and did not enter the banquet hall in a hurry, but started wandering around the dining hall first.

"One, two... four, five... six, six," he roughly counted the monsters left alone, "are there so many left outside?"

Those monsters spit out their long bloody tongues, closed their sewn eyelids tightly, and black blood flowed from their internal organs. They gathered together, and some of them waved a round, skull-shaped container in their hands, It seems to be communicating with each other.The corners of the walls are piled full of unshaven human bones.

"Why do they all look like hanged ghosts?" Du Zijun clicked his tongue, "Just kill them all..."

He bent down and swam like a fish out of the shadows that the fire could not reach, patiently waiting for an opportunity to be alone.After waiting for a while, two of them broke away from the main force and came towards him. Du Zijun seized the opportunity and followed them quietly.When he got to a secluded place, before the two monsters stopped, he jumped up suddenly, and the brick made a zigzag in the air, only to hear two crisp sounds that followed, and the back of the monster's head was gone. Completely dented!

Two lore kills, in a dark place without torches, there were two tall and crooked corpses in the blink of an eye.

Du Zijun stood where he was, and weighed the brick with one hand in satisfaction.I haven't used this weapon for a long time, and it feels a little rusty.

"However, it doesn't matter if you're unfamiliar." He smiled slightly, "If you practice more, you won't be unfamiliar."

After that, he concocted according to the law, hooked the remaining four to a quiet place one by one, and beat them to death one by one.

Du Zijun snapped his fingers, and said to himself: "Do the math...there should be many more? This number is not right, let's reduce it to nine at once."

He didn't even think about investigating the cause of death, because Du Zijun knew in his heart that there were two smart people after him.Wen Zheliu and He Qin can always think of a way to solve the puzzles, what he has to do now is to reduce the number of these monsters as much as possible - until the number they are familiar with.

He is like a ghost wandering in an inconspicuous place. When he catches a single one, he hits the back of the head. When enough monsters die, they seem to find that many of the same kind have disappeared, and they leave the dining room one after another. out of the hall.

"It's finally out..." Du Zijun's feet moved a little faster, "It's just a matter of time, let's take this opportunity to go to the dining hall to have a look..."

He slipped into the restaurant, and as soon as he entered the door, he was almost choked by the smoky smell of blood. He was about to walk in when his vision blurred, and he fell back on the seat behind him.

Du Zijun: "...Fuck me."

Seeing that he was also covered in blood and smelly, Wen Zheliu's mouth twitched and said, "You..."

"I didn't fucking... Forget it, anyway, it's really disgusting," Du Zijun said word by word, breathing in the air that didn't have any peculiar smell, "Really, it's disgusting."

Xie Yuanyuan handed over a towel from the side, and he wiped his face while saying: "I didn't do anything after I went in, I just killed eight or nine monsters, led them all out of the dining room, and then I was going to sneak in, time almost there."

"Why..." Xie Yuanyuan couldn't help complaining, "You were like this yesterday too!"

"Is it my fault?" Du Zijun threw the black and red towel on the table, "I'm running out of time, what can I do?"

"Okay, okay," Wen Zheliu scratched his hair, "Can you describe what the monster looks like?"

Du Zijun recalled a moment: "With his tongue stuck out, his eyelids were sewn shut, he had no nose, ears, and skin... like a hanged ghost."

"A hanged ghost?"

"Yes, the stomach is also rotten," Xie Yuanyuan said, "but the back of the head is easy to hit, just hit it with a brick and you'll die."

Wen Zheliu: "...As expected, I understand."

He Qin: "Okay, got it."

After 10 minutes, He Qin suddenly disappeared from his seat.

[Hint: Start teleporting the third player. 】

"Hey." He Qinfu was almost blinded by the scene in front of him as soon as he landed, "It's really exciting..."

He picked up the blood-dripping brick, looked around leisurely, and saw several skulls filled with a splash of sticky scarlet blood, so he emptied a strangely shaped plate, and slowly Blood was poured round and round.The viscosity of these liquids was like syrup. He stretched out his arm, poured a cup, poured another cup, as if making a fondant cake, the blood overflowed smoothly to the surroundings, the surface was thick and smooth, almost like a mirror.

During the whole process, his movements were unhurried, calm and elegant, as if this was not a nightmare-like devil's cave, but N-star's resplendent company annual meeting; what he poured out was not human blood, but a cup of valuables champagne.

"Can the nine names on the register represent all the dead? I don't think so." The roar of the monster came from not far away—they found nothing and found no trace of the murderer, so they had to reluctantly Turning back, and getting closer and closer to their feasting place, "Those nine people are actually only a small part of the death toll...Of course, to use a more accurate term, the cause of their death is nothing more than It's just a key to unlock the truth."

He leisurely stood in the trembling flesh and blood, holding a brick, and met a group of monsters that had entered from the pupae.

He Qin looked at them, the monster's eyelids were sewn up with thick thread, but he knew that they could actually be seen.

The monsters twisted their faces and screamed loudly. Instead of rushing forward and tearing He Qin into pieces, they raised their abnormally long arms and pointed at the brick in He Qin's hand.

"This?" He Qin smiled, picked up the brick, "Yes, I killed it, what's wrong?"

Seeing him admitting it readily, the monster roared louder, and its expression became more ferocious and crazy. The first one let out an earth-shattering roar, as if he was questioning him why he did this.

"Because you are monsters," He Qin raised his brows, and answered his lines very lazily, "Look in the mirror and see what you look like."

The monster in the head became more and more furious, and after it let out a series of inhuman roars, the cross-server chat between He Qin and them could finally come to an end.

"Okay, I'm leaving early."

As soon as he finished speaking, he appeared in the chat room of the four of them, his body was spotless, he just gracefully pulled out a tissue at the side, and wiped the blood on the palm of his hand from taking the brick.

Xie Yuanyuan stared at him blankly: "Why do you..."

Du Zijun's shoes were half polished: "What about you?"

"Complete the tasks within the quota ahead of time," He Qin brushed off the non-existent dust on his cuffs, "I have done everything that should be done, everything that should be triggered has been triggered, and only the final revealing link is left, so I came out. What's the matter?" question?"

Xie Yuanyuan: "...No."

Du Zijun: "...No."

Wen Zheliu stood up and moved his body, and said energetically, "Then it's up to me, right?"

Du Zijun narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "Why do I always feel that the two of you already know what's going on inside?"

"No!" Wen Zheliu was very wronged, "It was only after you came out that I figured out the key points inside. How could I have known it earlier? I'm leaving. Tonight, everyone can go back to rest early!"
