Villain Awakening Plan [Quick Pass]

The mermaid of Estorin is obviously a unique play in this world. The tourists around seem to know about it, but the players don't know anything about it. They can only search for relevant introductions before the show starts.

The story deduced in this play was originally a long classical poem with an unknown author, and it was only circulated in a small northern country. It was not until a famous playwright adapted it into an opera that the mermaid of Estorin became brilliant. , is widely known.

The musical adaptation of this classic opera will be staged in theaters soon. However, as we all know, classic adaptations are not necessarily classics. The musical did not make much waves and was rated as "disappointing" by many audiences.

No one knows why the cruise ship theater put such a failed work in the repertoire or arranges it to be performed at prime time in the evening.

At six o'clock in the evening, the curtain opened to both sides, and the show began.

The woman in a black mermaid skirt with her head hanging down, half-kneeled on the stage in an elegant and fragile posture. The back of the mermaid skirt was so long that she looked like a real long tail of a mermaid from a distance.

Behind her, the huge display screen slowly lit up with soft blue light, occasionally small strings of bubbles floated up, and the water plants swayed gracefully.This is a huge glass fish tank.

The Mermaid of Estorin tells a story that happened in the Old Kingdom.

A mermaid was caught by a fisherman and presented to nobles as a rare pet. She was like goods and gifts among rich businessmen, scholars, noble ladies and politicians, until an honest young man, a distant relative of the politician, fell in love with her, and he Trying to take the mermaid away from here, the cross-racial love moved the politician's wife. With her help, the lovers escaped back to the mermaid's hometown, Estulin.

But this is not the end.

The young man sent the mermaid back to his hometown. Facing the barren coast, he belatedly missed his family and friends, as well as the prosperity and comfort of the capital, so he decided to return home. crying.

The development of the story so far is quite normal.When the stage lights dimmed, Yue Du glanced at Gao Yin, who shook his head, expressing that he didn't notice anything unusual.

It's so hard to go backstage

Just as Yue Du was thinking this way, there was a sudden burst of high-pitched, inhuman weeping sound that hit the soul directly on the stage.

The light was turned on again, and under the rich dark red background, the mermaid stopped crying, and she raised the corners of her mouth to reveal the predator's unique expression.

Sharp teeth, with tears still on his face, showing a strange mixture of sadness and excitement.

She began to sing, but the young man retreated uncontrollably, step by step to the lover's position. In the deep-sea singing, his guilty but determined expression slowly turned into doubt, fear, anger and despair.

Finally, the young man retreated in front of the mermaid, and the mermaid embraced him intimately, but pierced his lover's heart with sharp claws from the back, and then dragged him back into the water. A visual transition effect for the ocean.

The following mermaid monologue completely subverts her weak and helpless image. She has never been captured by humans, and even her food is humans.

The pets imprisoned in the glass water tank are of course an illusion, and the mermaids who stay comfortably in the water tank and deceive and manipulate the rich every day to contribute to the king's capital are the real human beings.

This is just a mermaid's game, the only unexpected thing is that she really fell in love with a human with thin skin and tender flesh.

At the end of the story, both the mermaid and the young man sank into the deep sea and slept forever among the pure white sand on the bottom of the sea.

The curtain was drawn slowly, and with a snap, all the lights in the theater were turned on.

The whispers of the audience sounded around, Yue Du frowned, and said to Gao Yin, "The ending of this version is completely different from the original long poem."

According to the information they found, in the original version, the mermaid never fell in love with the young man, and the story was just her idle game from beginning to end. Finally, the mermaid who had had enough of playing took off the young man's heart and sacrificed it to Estor The deep sea gods believed by the forest merfolk race for generations danced and sang around the corpse with the clansmen.

That's the ending that matches the poster picture.

Strange to say, the adapted version is more of a tragedy of love, which doesn't match the content of the poster, so why did you choose to use this poster?

There was no response to Yuedu's words, she turned her head and saw her teammates wiping tears.

Although it looks cold, Gao Yin is actually a very emotional person. You can see how spiritual she is.

Yue Du looked ahead again, giving Gao Yin time to calm down.

Ah Jiu said in an aria, "Love is really the eternal theme of human art."

"This story is not about love," Yue Du said with a blank expression. "Humans who are the family of evil gods are really fun and delicious games."

Oh, I almost forgot, according to the "world game field" of the system, the evil god may also think that human beings are really fun, and they are watching with great interest.

How do players try their best to escape.

It's really in the same line.

Ah Jiu coughed lightly, "Actually, not all evil gods like to play with humans."

"for example"

"For example, the watcher outside of time and space reflects the wheel of fate. That wheel doesn't care about anything, it just rolls around in countless times and spaces. Just looking is enough." Ah Jiu also nominated the master of darkness "The Lord of Darkness doesn't know that either. He has no interest in playing with weak creatures."

"But you also said that He made this game." Yue Duan questioned.

Yes, the so-called game field is the handiwork of the master of darkness, but the reason for this is not that he himself wants to tease humans, but other evil gods.

First of all, the nine that is the master of darkness is the last piece, greed.

He will participate in the game field only because he enjoys control. Greed is a split with absolute desire to possess and control. He wants to put everything under control. This is his role as a game developer and administrator. significance.

As for the human being itself, it is not important, it is nothing more than a tool to satisfy the desire to control.

But it was obviously not possible to talk to Yuedu in this way, Ah Jiu paused, and said succinctly, "The game is just to control the evil god, and he doesn't play much himself."

"" Yuedu clarified the relationship, and twitched the corners of his mouth, "So the master of darkness is not a pleasure criminal, but a control freak."

Ah Jiu admitted with difficulty, "Yes."

The more I read, the more I don't know which of the two is more difficult to describe.

Come to think of it, control freaks are better for humans

"Wait, I've always felt strange," Yue Du suddenly sat up straight and said slowly. "Do you know those evil gods, or are you one of them?"

Ah Jiu pretended to be stupid, "Yeah"

Yue Du tapped the armrest of the seat, and some inexplicable intuition made her mind point to a certain direction, so she gently said "Master of Darkness"

Ah Jiu simply said, "I am definitely not him."

Yue Du was silent for a while, and felt that this suspicion was really unreasonable, she sighed, "I'm talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Ah Jiu: "Well, no."

The system is very reasonable.

As six-sevenths, He is certainly not the ruler of the dark, but he didn't say that the ruler of the dark is not "he".

At this time, the actors came out to call the curtain, Yue Du's attention turned back to the stage.

The actors were all smiling, but the woman in the black mermaid skirt standing in the middle seemed to be in a bad mood and kept her head down.

Yuedu suddenly glanced at the bright light hanging on the ceiling

Headlights.

Although the bad mood is not necessarily related to the lighting, but the lead actor has too many coincidences, and no one believes that she has nothing to do with the dark believer.

Of course, having a problem with the lead actor doesn't mean the theater is fine. After all, when Gao Yin felt strange in the afternoon, the lead actor wasn't here.

At this time, Gao Yin has almost calmed down, Yue Du and her made up their minds, and decided to stay and see the situation in the backstage. The theater closed at [-]:[-] p.m., and they escaped the routine inspection of the staff. to the background.

This place is getting more and more familiar, she walked around in front with the flashlight on her mobile phone, took pictures everywhere, and asked in a low voice, "Can you feel anything now?"

High-pitched, "It's still a little uncomfortable, but I can't tell where the problem is."

"Let's take a look at the back first." Yue Du said, "I've read the brochure of the cruise ship, and it said that the lead actress is a resident actress on the cruise ship, and she should have a usual lounge here."

The two went straight to the backstage room, and sure enough, the actress' name was hung on a small wooden sign at the door of a lounge.

Just as Yue Duan was about to say something, Gao Yin took out a thin iron wire. The old player shook the wire mysteriously and said, "It's one of the most practical skills for players."

Pick the lock

The more I read and thought about it, the more I realized that this skill is really useful.

Gao Yin reminded again, "If you have free time, you can download some practical skills online teaching videos or other materials, so as not to have no signal in the next dungeon. I just watch the videos for self-study."

The more I read, the more I saw Gao Yin pick the lock while he was talking, with a posture that practice makes perfect, I can't help but sigh that fortunately, the actor's lounge has a traditional padlock, unlike the guest room with a key card to enter and exit, otherwise the good skill of teammates would be useless The land of martial arts.

The female lead's rest room is quite messy. This room is only used by her. It is also a dressing room and changing room. All kinds of cosmetics and sundries are placed everywhere.

The two immediately searched in the room. The messy arrangement made the search more difficult. After a while, Yue Du took out a folded piece of paper from the crack of the sofa.

There is not much written on the paper, all in scribbled English.

Read more and read "Above the deepest abyss, before night falls, the Supreme Lord, please accept our sacrifice." She paused, "The Supreme Lord is the Lord of Darkness, what this means is, The sacrificial ceremony will be held on the deepest abyss in the evening. But what is the deepest abyss?"

Gao Yin showed a surprised look again.

Read more about "What's up"

"fine."

People with high spirituality are more suitable for finding this kind of job. I didn't expect my teammates to find it so quickly.

Gao Yin plucked the legs of the table, but still got nothing, which made her feel that a high-spirited player is quite passive

Yue Duan didn't pay attention to what her teammates were frustrating, she suddenly turned on the phone, clicked a few times, and then showed the screen to Gao Yin.

"The deepest trench in the world, the Selenfall Deep, may be on our route depending on its coordinates."

What she said was "maybe", but in fact she was quite certain in her heart, otherwise what is the meaning of the content on the paper?

Without too much entanglement, Yue Du took a photo of the piece of paper, and carefully stuffed it back to its original position.

Next, the two searched several other rooms together, but found nothing until they entered the projection room.

Looking at the dark black summoning array on the computer screen, Yue Du's eyelids twitched.

If you guessed right, this is the background of the sacrificial ceremony. The swirl-shaped circular array composed of strange and distorted dark-black runes will make you feel dizzy after watching it for a long time. It is not difficult to imagine it being projected on the huge screen outside. What a shock it will be.

The only problem is

Is it too perfunctory to use projectors to display computer pictures as ritual formations? If the evil god himself knew that he was attracted by such a perfunctory summoning formation, wouldn't he really be annoyed and silence him on the spot?

The more I read, I was speechless for a while, and the high-pitched voice seemed a little dazed.

"Maybe it's not for projection, but a reference map when drawing the formation"

"It's also possible, eh."

Yuedu wrote down the name of the computer owner, and this weird picture of the summoning array is the last harvest of this trip.After confirming again and again that there were no omissions, the two jumped out through the window of the utility room. During the whole process, no one was disturbed except the group of four who were also players.

"We can exchange the information we found today." Standing at the elevator entrance on this floor, Kong Wenbin smiled softly.

Although Kong Wenbin's group also watched the performance, they did not stay in the theater.On the one hand, there are too many of them, it is inconvenient to hide, and they are worried about letting the inexperienced, high-spirited little fat man investigate by themselves;

"Don't wait for that little couple"

Kong Wenbin didn't change his face, "That group went back to rest early, and they knew they didn't find anything, so there's no need to waste money on them."

time. "

Just as Gao Yin was about to speak, he subconsciously turned his attention to Yue Du.Yuedu asked "How many useful pieces of information did you find"

"It's hard to judge whether it's useful or not. I can only say that we have two of them, and one of them should be quite important."

"Coincidentally, so are we." Yue Du nodded.

Gao Yin received "If this is the case, let's exchange."

The information found by Kong Wenbin's team is simple. The children's entertainment area will hold a large-scale educational activity for teenagers the day after tomorrow; the captain of the cruise ship is probably a dark believer.

"How did the second article come about?"

"We met the captain and a few sailors at the open-air restaurant on this floor at night. The captain left halfway, and the sailors started whispering, mentioning that the captain has been behaving abnormally lately." Probably guessed that Yuedu already knew it. Regarding spiritual and rational information, Kong Wenbin continued without concealing, "The most important thing is that when the captain passed by Xiao Pang, Xiao Pang's spirituality was touched."

If this is the case, it is indeed very suspicious. Yue Du nodded thoughtfully, and said two of the several pieces of information he had received.

That is, the piece of paper of the leading actress and the picture of the projection room.

When they heard the first one, the faces on the other side were still serious, but when they heard the second one, they all showed weird expressions.

"It's projected on a big screen." Bi Yan was incredulous, "I'm afraid the evil god summoned by this kind of thing will destroy the believers first."

"Yeah, these people are really brave." Xiao Wang laughed out loud.

The little fat man was at a loss, "it's strange to use projection"

Bi Yan explained, "Of course, the ritual requirements in the dark main god system are very strict, and the ritual formation is definitely no exception. These believers don't need to draw the formation with mysterious materials, but they didn't even make the formation entity. Pretty crazy."

"That's it." The little fat man seemed to understand.

The two parties had no other information to discuss, and after a few words of politeness, they boarded the elevator and went back to their rooms.

Yuedu asked the flight attendant to change the room.

"I'm sorry, the double cabin with two single beds is already full." The flight attendant apologized, "We also have a double VIP suite, and a bedroom with two single beds, ma'am, do you want to think about it?"

Read more "Are there still any regular double suites?"

"It's also full, or you can consider an ordinary three-person cabin, which has a large bed and a pull-out bed, and two people can also live in it. The comfort level is not inferior to that of a single-bed room."

The flight attendant enthusiastically promoted "but my most recommended is

VIP suites for two people now have a lot of discounts for upgrades. Not only do they have the same comfortable configuration as ordinary suites, but they can also enjoy private butler service, VIP access service, free meal delivery service, etc., and the most important thing is that they can communicate with the captain Sharing dinner, the captain personally leads a tour of the captain’s cabin”

Yue Du and Gao Yin exchanged glances.

Would love to take the opportunity to see if the captain has a problem but cash-strapped treble ""

The more I read, I remembered the balance I saw yesterday, and I felt very confident, and I smiled, "Then let's go to the VIP suite."

Flight attendant "Okay, please follow me."

Gao Yin was taken aback, "Why do you have so much money?"

"This identity comes with it." Yue Du spread his hands.

Well, such things as luck are really not enviable.

Ancillary services such as personal butlers are troublesome to ask for, and they declined after reading more and more. They dragged their suitcases and followed behind the flight attendant lady. As soon as the elevator doors opened, they saw a figure standing inside.

It's Ain Senaiyin.

The young female painter leisurely raised her hand to greet Quan Zuo, her beautiful black eyes looked at Yue Du and slightly bent, "It seems that we are very destined, Miss Yue."

"I think so too." Yue Du smiled.

There was still no sign of her younger sister around Einsel, Yue Du could see it, but it was hard to remind her frequently, so she could only sigh secretly.

Their destinations were on the same floor, the flight attendant lady and Einsel stopped in front of two opposite doors, one after the other.

Enser raised his eyebrows.

Read more "It seems that we are really destined."

"My pleasure," Eensther said. "Iona must be very happy to know."

The two chatted for a while, and because it was too late, after Einsse invited her to drink tea in her room when she was free, she bid farewell to Yuedu.

After closing the door, Gao Yin asked, "You and her are already so familiar"

After thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing strange about the communication skills displayed by Yuedu today.Gao Yin, who always found it painful to talk to strangers, immediately dispelled his doubts, and admired his teammates instead.

In fact, in the communication between Yuedu and Aenser, the latter is more active and comfortable. Of course, there is no need to tell Gao Yin about this.

After running for a day, he finally found the bed, Gao Yin was too tired to talk, and fell asleep quickly after washing.

Yue Du was lying on the bed on the right side near the balcony, she didn't feel tired, her legs didn't ache and her waist didn't hurt, it seems that going to the film crew every day is not bad, she thought to herself mockingly.

Ah Jiu's voice came out, "Honey, I'll press the button for you."

Mo good. "

"Can you still massage into a physical body to press?"

"Not at all."

As soon as the words were finished, the decorative doll on the bedside table suddenly moved. It was a plush white cat that was lying down. It got up and stretched its body.

Yuedu turned his head to look at Gao Yin, and he was relieved to confirm that she was falling asleep.

The white cat got into the bed, Ah Jiu said, "Turn over and relax."

For some reason, Yue Du followed suit.

The white cat massaged her calf through the pajamas. The touch of the plush decoration was a bit strange, and the massage was moderate.

Yue Yue buried half of his face in the pillow, and his soft hair slipped from the side of his face, covering his small nose and slightly pursed lips, only revealing one dark amber eye.

She blinked.

It's so strange, being held down by a system cat in an ornamental shell and carefully patted and rubbed on her calf, she actually felt that the system was caring for her.

And she herself was genuinely happy for this feeling.

Maybe it was because the massage was so powerful that Yue Du fell asleep without realizing it this time, without a dream all night.

Day three on the cruise, early in the morning.

Yue Du is sitting by the bed, holding what looks like a cat ornament in his hands. The reason why he said this is because the ornament has been completely destroyed by some strange force, and only the outline can still be vaguely seen cat look.

"What's going on here?" Yue Du asked blankly.

Ah Jiu: "Ah, you can understand that this ornament, as an ordinary item, can't accommodate a little bit of my consciousness, so it broke after the massage."

Yuedu mourns for the decoration for a second.

So the system that can cause this effect is really an evil god, right?

Anyway, the white cat ornament is a facility in the suite. Yue Du asked the flight attendant about compensation, and got a reply that no compensation was required.

"Don't worry, we will add new decorations immediately." Said the flight attendant.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, after gathering at the leader lady who has changed back into a smiling face, the whole day of free activities began.

Kong Wenbin's group went straight to the staff, while the couple's group turned around and pressed the button next to the elevator door.

"We can skip talking to the crew," Yue Du whispered. "Looking at it now, it doesn't make much sense to look for the evil god believers among the ordinary crew. There are too many crew members."

Moreover, what can be done even if the believers in the ordinary crew are found. They have found the leading actress and the main character.

The theater staff responsible for the projection, but couldn't think of what to do with these two people for a while.

In the case that there is no next step in the game, any action they take against the followers of evil gods may bring greater risks.

Senior crew members are better targets for scouting, such as the chief mate, chief engineer, and the captain himself, but they don't have as much contact with them, so the captain's dinner privilege included in the VIP suite is very useful.

"Let's go to other places we haven't been to first to look for clues, communicate with the captain, and wait until we have dinner with him. What do you think?"

There is no objection to the treble.

Regardless of the restrictions from the team leader, today's operation seems to be smoother, and more fragmentary information has been collected, but it seems to be useless.

Yuedu even began to doubt whether what he did was right or wrong. Could it be that the clues are all in the check-in location arranged by the team leader

But after she tentatively asked the team leader about the original itinerary for each day, the idea dissipated.

The original arrangement was repeated day after day, so when Yue Duu asked about it yesterday, the team leader would definitely say "it's equally exciting", the location is exactly the same, of course it's equally exciting.

At 10:30 in the morning, Yuedu received a text message on his mobile phone, and a few seconds later, Gao Yin's mobile phone also issued the same notification tone.

It was the captain who sent the message. He sent out an invitation to have dinner at [-] o'clock tonight. The place is a French restaurant on the third floor. The name of the captain, Conrad Green, is emblazoned on the signature.

The content of the text message received by Gao Yin is the same.

The more I read it, "After the meal, I will show you my residence. Maybe you can experience the joy of living on the ship. It seems that the tour of the captain's cabin is also tonight."

Gao Yin sighed, "I hope there will be no accidents."

Before dinner even started, accidents came first.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the two were about to go back to the room and put on formal clothes to go to the captain's invitation, but they met Xiao Wang who was whistling at the elevator entrance.

"The captain asked me to take you up. Something happened to the young couple."

On the eighth floor, a room for a young couple.

Yue Du's footsteps stopped at the door, and she opened her eyes slightly.

The scene in front of him was too tragic.

There was blood everywhere in the room, Chen Xi died on the bed, Chi Mu died by the door, a blood-stained hand just resting on the threshold.

The door of the room was wide open, but the passing guests or flight attendants turned a blind eye to the tragic scene at the door.

The little fat man came out from the bathroom, his face was pale, and when he saw Yuedu, he asked weakly, "Why aren't you afraid?"

Hole

Wen Bin shook his head, "Some people are calmer. Well, Xiao Pang, if you still feel uncomfortable, take a rest first. It's best not to go back to our room to rest."

It seemed that this little fat man saw a dead person for the first time, and it was still such a tragic death, so he rushed into the bathroom and vomited.

The more I read and thought about it, I suddenly remembered that it was the first time I saw a dead person, but I didn't have any special reaction.This kind of calmness is so difficult that it is also related to the ideal level

"What do you think?" Kong Wenbin sighed.

"What did they do?"

"Didn't do anything, just stay in the room."

stay in the room

The game prompts that you are a tourist.

If you don't be a good tourist, what will happen is not explained in the prompt, but now the players know it.

Rewinding the time to one hour ago, it was the time when the player boarded the ship two days ago, and the young couple was nestled in the cabin and refused to go out.

They don't want to look for clues anymore, they can't ask anything when they chat with people, and they can't see anything when they look for traces. Anyway, as long as the other two groups can stop the dark believers, they can leave alive.

But if you search around on the boat and encounter a strange monster or something, it will be over.

They are proud of their cleverness, and they have long forgotten that the first thing the game prompts is that you are a tourist.

So at five o'clock in the afternoon, the team leader came back to life. She took out the door card from the flight attendant who ignored her, and swiped the door open with a smile.

Smiling, he lowered his head and bit off Chen Xi's neck.

Smiling, he caught up with Chi Mu who had almost climbed to the door, and did the same.

Afterwards, the team leader walked slowly to the outside of the elevator on the first floor, acting as a human-shaped stand, blood spattered all over her chest.

The team leader must be a qualified team leader, so tourists in the group cannot complain.

Tourists must be qualified tourists, so they cannot stay in the room all day.

Otherwise you will die.
