If you refuse a marriage proposal from a thriller NPC, you will die

The entire mountain forest was once again engulfed in a white mist, and the last bird call had disappeared. Apart from the blood groom watching in the darkness, there seemed to be something else.

A childlike laughing and laughing voice came to his ears, as if something soft flashed past him, hooking his fingers.

"Don't be afraid." The God of the River said, "They are some very well-behaved children."

The "child" in his mouth quietly rolled into Jiang Chujian, with a little timid temptation.

But it was clearly not the hand of one person.Jiang Chu felt it, it was the touch of paper.

They surrounded Jiang Chu, repeating the word "like" non-stop.

"They will take you to find what you want." The River God chuckled, "Just remember to come back and find me."

After saying this, he let go of Jiang Chu, and when Jiang Chu opened his eyes, he could only see a mist.

Originally, he thought it would take a little effort to trick him away, and he was afraid that he would be dragged into the church, but he didn't expect to let him go so easily.

The thing next to him touched his finger, and it curled up a little bit.

Beside him stood five or six paper figurines, their eyes were two circles dotted with ink, no nose was drawn, their lips were painted with bright red cinnabar to form an upturned smile, and there were two big red spots on their cheeks.

Although it looks weird, at least it sounds like a human.

Surrounded by five or six paper figurines, five or six different but equally weird paper faces looked at Jiang Chu, so that he just wanted to help them turn their heads away.

"luv't……"

They rolled him to a place, surrounded by fog, although he could see the road clearly through the trees, but it was very difficult to go down the mountain.

Jiang Chu deliberately teased them: "Who do you like?"

The paper figurine smiled and said, "I like...you..."

Jiang Chu: "Why?"

The paper figurine couldn't help but turn its head in a circle: "Because... the river god... likes you..."

Jiang Chu repeated: "Yes, I am asking, why does he like me?"

Confusion appeared in the paper figurine's dark ink eyes: "I don't know..."

It seems that I was born to like it.

Jiang Chu didn't ask anything, and temporarily put the matter of the branch line behind him.

When they stopped, Jiang Chu found a blunt sword stuck in the soil in front of him.

He walked over to pick it up, wiped off the dirt on it with his hands, and it was indeed his own.That night, he stabbed the blood groom's hand with a sword, and then left the sword outside, and later disappeared with the ghost and the sword.

Didn't expect to be here.

Jiang Chu smiled at the paper figurine: "Thank you."

But there is still a problem, where should he go to find sandalwood now?

The whole thing is a circle, a circle within a circle.He entered the past through the branch line of the story, and gave Yi Xiaomei the wooden mask that suddenly appeared on his face. After Yi Xiaomei died, he also wore the mask. Until today, he reappeared in this game.

His brutal behavior of smashing idols in the past was recorded until the second day he entered the game, he accidentally entered the river temple, was reenacted by the shadow, and he was saved by the same person again.

Now there is only one last point to make up the whole ring, that is, he needs to know how the wooden mask that suddenly appeared on his face came from.

There is also the sandalwood on the river god, which is obviously related to him.

Almost all of these are resolved, and the game will be passed smoothly.

When Jiang Chu was thinking, he walked out of the scope of the Heshen Temple unconsciously.

The paper figurines chirped behind him, and after hesitating for a while, they crawled out one after another and followed Jiang Chu's footsteps.

"It's mine..." They imitated what the river god said, their bright red lips seemed to have just eaten someone.

No one can take it away.

"mine……"

Another voice sounded suddenly, as if chewing bloody bones in his mouth.

A bright red figure appeared in the forest, looking for a familiar person with his eyes.

He was like a child who accidentally saw a beautiful toy, but before he even had time to touch it, the toy disappeared from this world, no matter how much the child cried, the toy would never come back.

After his fingers were pricked by thorns, he made many mistakes, and became a bad boy with all kinds of bad deeds, that beautiful toy suddenly appeared in front of him again.

It's a pity that his finger has been punctured and covered with blood. He is not worthy of touching a clean toy.

Something trickled down the mask.

A whimper sounded, "I just..."

It's just not reconciled.

Why can't he have what others have?

A person crashed into his arms, unlike his coldness, that person's body was warm, unlike the corpse at the bottom of the river.

He staggered and fell to the ground, crying more and more because of the severe pain.

When the villagers saw the child, they only remembered that he had a disgusting and frightening smile on his face, but they didn't remember that he also had emotions.So after he died, the emotion he showed the most was crying.

It seemed that the more I cried, the more I could forget the weird smile on my face.

After Jiang Chu got the weapon, everyone drifted away, so he chose the fastest way, which was to go directly to A.

The sword gave me the courage to steal the tower.

So now he is looking down at the blood groom, with the sword in his hand piercing into the other's shoulder blade.

Although I sympathize with Yi Xiaomei, no one is innocent in this story, and neither is he.Don't those children who don't understand anything, and the girls who are married to him, deserve to die?

Of course, because this is a game, a large part of Jiang Chu's reason for doing it is to clear the level.

The blood bridegroom looked at the sword on his shoulder and cried even harder: "I just...knew..."

I knew you were going to kill me!

However, Jiang Chu deliberately deviated the sword away from his heart, and the pain gave him the illusion that he was going to die.

"What else do you want to say?" Jiang Chu asked.

"Yes." The blood bridegroom whimpered, "I'm so sorry..."

"...did not marry you."

Jiang Chu felt that he shouldn't have asked this question, anyway, looking at this thing, it would be hopeless.

"I won't marry you." He said indifferently, "You just want a special toy, understand?"

The blood bridegroom stopped crying suddenly, and looked at him with black eyes on the mask.

Perhaps the shoulder injury had drained his energy, and he looked very tired and quiet now.

While Jiang Chu was trying to take off his mask, he regained a brief lucidity.

"Why can't you take it off..." he murmured to himself, "A wooden mask actually has a random adsorption function?"

The blood groom moved, slowly raised his other hand, and pressed it against his mask.

The mask was taken off and thrown at Jiang Chu's feet, and he covered his face with his hands.

Jiang Chu was stunned.

"I just want to give you back..."

His voice was muffled and somewhat aggrieved.

He let go of his hands covering his face, revealing an eternal smile.

"I just……"

This is the first gift he has received, and now he wants to give it back.

"You left too fast..." he mumbled, "You didn't even have time to teach me how to resist."

Also, he regretted that hesitation in reaching out.

He got up from the ground without even looking at the mask on the ground.

"It's going to be dawn." He murmured, "Goodbye."

He has to go back to the bottom of the water, he cannot live where there is light.

Jiang Chu picked up the mask on the ground, and suddenly heard the sound of a sword falling to the ground. He turned his head and saw that his blunt sword was lying flat on the ground, spilling blood all over the ground.

"Yi Xiaomei." He said to the blood groom's back, "I still have to apologize to you."

I don't know if the blood bridegroom heard it, but he could only see him staggering as he walked.

He continued: "Actually, you are not ugly at all, you look pretty when you smirk."

It was Xu Yang's silly smile when he was pretending to be beside him.

"I know you don't want to kill me, that's why you didn't attack me and Lu Ning." He continued, "But I hope you believe that this world has never intended to kill you. Our only mission is to save you, isn't it? kill you."

The whining sound came from the foot of the mountain, and he seemed to have lost his mind again.

No one knew whether he had heard or not.

Jiang Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and walked back with the mask.

There is still one last step left.

When he took the mask in his hand, he was reminded by the system that it was made of sandalwood.

When he walked into the Heshen Temple, he opened an incense burner and threw the mask into it.

Although it is a little strange why there is still a burning incense burner here, but there are too many unreasonable situations, and he is also numb.

At the same moment, Yi Xiaomei stood under the morning light, her body turned transparent golden.

The smile on his face disappeared, and tears flowed out like he didn't want money, as if he had vented all the grievances in his life.

At last his body disappeared into the sunlight and became a wind.

The wind blew through all the streets, and the person hiding in the room came out slowly, staring blankly at the sky, watching his blue-white hands become transparent.

Moments later, they were equally tearful.

They knelt down tremblingly, kowtowed to the place where the big river was, filled with remorse.

The thin monkey was leaning against the dilapidated sedan chair, smoking a cigarette, and grabbed a child with a backhand.

"You guys are here to steal candy again." He pretended to be angry.

Several little girls looked at him eagerly, finally stuffed the candy into their pockets, and ran away.

He watched the children disappear into the morning light, gave a wrinkled smile, and turned and walked into his house.

"Crack." The door closed.

【The task has been completed】

[Current number of surviving players: 2; rewards will be settled later, please check carefully]

After multiplayer missions are completed, there is a transition period until forced logout.

When Lu Ning came out of the branch line, she was stunned to find that she had been taken away, and the mission showed that she had completed it.

And when she checked it, she found that she had obtained an A-level and a B-level card!

The game rewards are settled according to the number of days survived, so the rewards Jiang Chu gets should be the same as hers.

That is to say, in the end, Jiang Chu left her to complete the final task by herself, and she didn't take advantage of it; instead, she stayed in the branch line safely, not only making it to the end, but also getting rewards when she came out.

She was a little embarrassed, thinking that she would give Jiang Chu a B-level card after she went out.

Apparently Jiang Chu saw at the time that the child had her branch, and knocked her out, otherwise she might not be able to achieve an achievement until she went out.

When Lu Ning came out, she happened to watch these villagers turn into a wisp of ashes.

However, Jiang Chu was not seen.

With a thump in her heart, she stood up against the wall and ran up the mountain.

She remembered that Jiang Chu said that he was going to the River God Temple...

The mountain was very quiet, and she could still see the blood on the ground when she lowered her head, but soon evaporated with the sun coming out.

She carefully avoided these bloodstains, and went directly to the mountain.

Along the way, she also saw several bouncing paper figurines. If it had happened last night, she might have panicked for a while, but now she just calmly ignored them.

She even felt that these paper figurines were friendly to her and even greeted her.

"Jiang Chu?" She stopped in front of the Heshen Temple out of breath, "Where's Jiang Chu?"

In her imagination, Jiang Chu must have gone through a fierce battle last night, and he might be lying somewhere bleeding now.

Too bad for her teammates.

No one around answered, her heart was pounding, and she didn't know if she was nervous or running too fast.It was at this time that she suddenly found that the door of the River Temple was open.

"Jiang Chu? If you're not dead, squeak." She called and moved closer.

"Ginger..." She suddenly lost her words and opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Jiang Chu was standing in the deepest part, and in front of him stood another extremely handsome man, who was holding his face and lowering his head slightly.

"want to……"

And Jiang Chuzheng was pinching his own neck, the blood bar on the top of his head was slowly decreasing, and it was about to return to zero.

Lu Ning:! ! !Really bloody!

Jiang Chu didn't seem to feel any pain, and his expression was neither sad nor happy.And when the man's red eyes looked at Lu Ning, Lu Ning felt a crisis from the bottom of her heart!

She subconsciously shouted: "You—give up!"

give up what?She hasn't figured it out yet! !

In the next second, a gust of wind rushed towards her face and smashed the door next to her. His tone was gentle: "What did you say?"

A drop of sweat dripped from Lu Ning's head, she was dying.

But Jiang Chu was interrupted by such an interruption, suddenly came to his senses, and staggered to push him away.

He covered his neck and coughed, almost dying of anger.

Almost strangled himself!

He coughed and stared at the man in front of him.

This NPC seems to want to keep him forever, and the way to keep him is to make his san value drop.

Although he didn't know the truth, he still felt cold behind his back.

Lu Ning also smoothed her tongue at this moment: "You can't keep him! Our mission is over, even if he loses all his blood, we can leave!"

Although she doesn't know the ins and outs, her sixth sense as a girl is definitely not wrong.

——What is expressed in those eyes cannot be deceiving.

He Shen looked at her quietly, and then looked at Jiang Chu without saying a word.

At the moment the mask is ignited, he can gradually emerge into the prototype.

The rich sandalwood filled the entire ancient temple, and the mask also appeared in his hands—like burnt paper money, the burnt mask became a gift from Jiang Chu.

The rings are connected at this moment.He gave the mask to Jiang Chu to let him enter the past, and Jiang Chu gave it to Yi Xiaomei, until today the wooden mask has returned to him.

He chuckled: "I want you."

—I want to kiss you, I want to hold you in my arms.

"Why?" Jiang Chu said incredulously, "I've only known you for a day."

one day.

How can it be?

He is like a mask in his hand, with no origin and nowhere to go.It was Jiang Chu who toppled the statue to wake him up, and he waited until Jiang Chu sent him back to the past.He has been between the past and the present countless times, and Jiang Chu is in every minute of his memory.He's a paradox centered around Kang Chul's existence.

If Jiang Chu leaves, he will cease to exist.

[Prepare to leave the game and enter the countdown: 10, 9, 8...]

"Forget it." He tilted his head, revealing the scarlet earrings on his earlobe, "See you next time."

His voice was bewitching, like a dream: "I will always be by your side."

At that moment, his face overlapped with Kloster's, including scarlet eyes and earrings, which made Jiang Chu's eyes widen: "Kloster..."

In just an instant, he returned to his void space.

[Reward: 'Paradox Mask'*1]

[Grade: A Grade]

[Function: This is not an invisibility mask, but it can prevent you from seeing other weird things]

[Reward: 'Blood-stained wedding dress'*1]

【Grade: B Grade】

[Function: Used to feign death, disguise your own death scene]

The rest are C-level, and the functions are relatively simple, Jiang Chu glanced at them and turned them over.

In the next second, a friend request was sent, and the note was Lu Ning.

Jiang Chu clicked through.

After Lu Ning added him as friends, he immediately sent a B-level card over.

Lu Ning: "At the end, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I might have to do the second round of raids."

Jiang Chu refused: "You also helped me in the end, no need."

Lu Ning stopped pushing and gave a thumbs up: "We are actually the first to clear the level!!! Let's form a team next time."

They were the first to break out of the encirclement among hundreds of teams! ! !

Not to mention that their IDs are popular in the game, at least there will definitely be a live broadcast company looking for them.

When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Chu had already returned to his room.

It was dark outside.

The calling bell rang suddenly, and he turned on his communication device, and immediately heard Jiang Yiyi yelling on the other side: "Brother! Did you read the hot post on the new top? Oh my god, it's so explosive!"

Jiang Chu said helplessly, "I just came out of the game."

Jiang Yiyi: "Don't you dislike horror games... Alas, let's not talk about this, why don't you come out for dinner? My classmates and I are singing here, we'll wait for you to come over!"

"Forget it." Jiang Chu frowned.

He will only cause trouble for others when he goes out.

Jiang Yiyi continued: "It's not far away, aren't you much better? Don't worry, I won't tell my parents."

Jiang Chu couldn't resist her, and finally compromised: "That's fine."

It's not far from home and on the aircraft.

Jiang Chu's walking speed is very slow, which is his habit.Only by walking slowly can he react before falling asleep. At the same time, he is used to walking against the building so that he can support himself in time.

He wears a sensor outside. If he falls asleep, the sensor can immediately send a message to his family to determine his location and ask for help.

In order not to cause trouble to his family, he only takes an aircraft when he goes out, and rarely walks by himself.

Jiang Yiyi was very excited when he received Jiang Chu, and immediately brought him in front of his friends.

"I'm back!" She pushed open the door, "This is my brother Jiang Chu, do you know each other?"

There were only four or five people sitting in the private room, and they were very surprised to see them.

"I know, Jiang Chu used to be my classmate in junior high school." A girl stood up, seeming to laugh a little, "If I knew Jiang Chu was you, I would have talked to you in advance."

Jiang Chu has no impression of his junior high school classmates. He has more time off from school than on school, but he will definitely not forget the person he met just now: "Lu Ning?"

Lu Ning: "Damn, I also haven't seen you for a whole semester, and I don't remember who you are after a long time."

After the two sides explained, they realized that they met in the game.

Jiang Yiyi sighed: "This is too coincidental... Oh, by the way, Lu Ning, are you still reading that post? Let Chuchu have a look."

Jiang Chu was used to calling her by her nickname indifferently, and patted her forehead gently.

Lu Ning shared the post with him: "This is it."

Several other boys also started discussing this post.

"I think it's nonsense. At first glance, it's just a gimmick of the game company. Anything can be faked these days."

"You haven't played Noah, tell me what a fart. You won't know how real it is until you go in and play it. It's more than one level more refined than ordinary games."

"And we don't know what Noah's production company is now. What's the point of him using this as a gimmick?"

Jiang Chu clicked on the post sent to him by Lu Ning, and found that it was indeed on the homepage of the official forum, and it almost never fell from the first row.

Roughly, the host said that in the new dungeon "Blood Bride" that has just been released, there is an NPC that can perceive players, and that NPC can even mix into the player team and kill them.

As we all know, the boundary between NPCs and players has always been clear. This is to prevent people from being addicted to online games and unable to distinguish reality. Therefore, it is almost unheard of for an NPC to appear suddenly and mix into the player team.

Then some people diverged their thinking, saying that Noah's game world actually exists.

A bunch of people below refuted him:

[Is the upstairs stupid?The real world allows us to enter it over and over again?And every entry at the same point in time? 】

[Maybe it's just a few data riots, the operator should be able to solve it soon]

【+1 Don't spread rumors】

"Is there really such an NPC?" The boy looked at Lu Ning who had just played.

Lu Ning was at a loss: "I don't know. But there are indeed NPCs who have mixed into the player team."

She looked at Jiang Chu, hesitated to speak.

It seems...not only the NPC sensed the player, but also the NPC wanted to trap the player.

But due to Jiang Chu's presence, she didn't say these words.

Lu Ning's statement undoubtedly affirmed that the post was not a rumor, and they looked at Jiang Chu again.

I heard that this big brother took the flight... and got an A-level card!You must know a lot of inside information!

Jiang Chu didn't reveal any exciting content, but said: "Just trust the game's protection mechanism."

Several boys are relieved.

"That's good, I almost plan to retreat."

"I still have a few C-level cards that I can't sell. It's a pity not to lose them."

After talking about this topic, their topic slowly turned to eating. Taking this opportunity, Jiang Chu went to the bathroom.

After coming back, I found that they had chatted until after dinner and played games together.

Jiang Chu was silent for a while: "I just went out for 3 minutes..."

Your chat topics jump so fast?

Jiang Yiyi: "We just saw a strange post called 'The No.13 Stairway Where Players Disappeared'."

She continued to explain: "There is a game in which there are thirteen steps somewhere, and the player will disappear immediately after walking up."

Lu Ning retorted her: "It's not disappearing, it's just logging out of the game, and there's no sign of it."

Horror games are well-made, with enough surprises and easter eggs, so there are also many posts about Tao Guai Tan.

Some are branch lines that have not yet been excavated, some are be endings in different poses, and there are many unsolved mysteries, which are jokingly called ghost stories by players.

In this "Yunjiazhai No. 37 Incident" game, there is a staircase, usually there are only twelve steps, but once it is twelve o'clock in the evening, the player will find No.13 on this staircase.

And when the player steps on the No.13 stage, it will suddenly disappear.

Several people discussed excitedly to have a look.

Jiang Yi was eager to try: "Brother, do you want to go together?"

Jiang Chu refused: "I'll forget it." He had just played two games in a row.

So after a few people discussed it, they asked the waiter for a game helmet.

Jiang Chu received an unfamiliar message at this time, and after clicking to check it, he found out that it was from the game company.

The production company of "Noah" is unknown, but there are thousands of companies operating it. Each company is responsible for part of the game and can also recruit game anchors.

The company that found Jiang Chu happened to be the game company that operated the "Yunjiazhai No. 37 Incident".

The man who connected with him was a very handsome man: "Hi Mr. Jiang, I'm Li Guangphos, you can call me Xiao Li."

He explained his reason for coming, they wanted to recruit Jiang Chu to be a game anchor, and asked him to enter "Yunjiazhai No. 37 Incident" and find the bug of the No.13 staircase.

His attitude is quite sincere: "The anchors we have are all on schedule, and the company has no plans to invite other anchors for the time being, so we want to try to invite you..."

And promised a generous reward.

After a little thought, you can understand that the company doesn't want to spend a lot of money to hire other well-known anchors, so it has moved its mind to find newcomers.If the result is good, they can even use this opportunity to promote a new anchor.

So they approached Jiang Chu first.

Of course, they also tried to invite Lu Ning, but Lu Ning entered a new game and did not hear from them.

Li Guangphos was full of hope on this side, he didn't think Jiang Chu would refuse.

This condition is quite generous for a new anchor, and now that "Noah" is so popular, who wouldn't want to be an anchor?

His colleague finished sorting out the files, saw him contacting him, smiled and said, "Have you found someone?"

However, Li Guangphos ignored him and continued to persuade him: "Are you really not thinking about it? Our reward is already very generous..."

"It's not a matter of remuneration." The voice on the other side sounded very young, and it sounded very nice.

It is also more tactful to refuse: "I am not very interested in the anchor."

The colleague glanced at the information on the table, and quickly pulled Li Guangphos.

Li Guangphos said helplessly: "Okay then, I will contact you later."

As soon as he turned off the communication, his colleague patted him on the shoulder: "I advise you to give up, and don't look at his identity."
