It is strictly forbidden to collapse people [Unlimited]

Fortunately, this journey is not short.

Shen Yongle took a few deep breaths, and repeatedly reminded himself that he was still playing the doomsday game. They were opening up new maps, and they might encounter danger at any time...

At any rate, it calmed down for the time being.

Mo Jue walked first in the team holding a flashlight, and Shen Yongle naturally followed in second, with another player holding a hand-held camera beside him.

The player took pictures of Tyndall's beam of light for a while, and was probably a little bored, so he turned the camera and took pictures of the way they came.

The lens was pitch black.

There seems to be no trace of human activities on the island, and even the sound of insects is inaudible. The whole island is so quiet that it seems that something is being conceived, and it seems that someone is spying wantonly in the dark, and not even a single star can be seen in the sky. Let this black become thicker and thicker as if it had substance.

For some reason, it is clear that the darkness is boundless, but people still feel a sense of oppression when they are in it, as if the place they are stepping on is not just an ordinary path, but a huge mouth leading to the devil's throat, surrounded by fangs, from the deep The hot wind was blowing from everywhere, but it was actually the devil's gasping for excitement.

After watching for a long time, I almost sucked people in...

He came back to his senses suddenly, only to realize that he had fallen to the end of the line.

There is no one behind.

The player's name is Lu Song, and the person who was drawn was an amateur photographer. It was he who proposed to bring a camera to record the situation on the island, so as not to miss any information—even if it looks dark now, go back to the boat and adjust the height. With some exposure you can see it clearly.

When he made the suggestion, he was praised for his wit. At this moment, the stamina of complacency has not faded. Although he was a little nervous, he raised the camera again.

The monitor is still black.

Lu Song suppressed his timidity and forced himself to pat for a while, and was about to stop, when he saw a small square frame suddenly appear in the dark picture.

——It is face focus.

Lu Song was taken aback for an instant, and hurriedly put down the camera to watch, thinking that some players hadn't kept up with the team.

But... the road is empty, neither players nor other things like human faces. Faintly, from the pier or the boat, there seems to be the slight cry of a baby.

Lu Song's back was a little hairy, and he thought that they should have left the big ship not a short distance away, and the crying sounded as if they were nearby...

He shivered, forced himself not to think too much, and couldn't help raising the camera again to check.

The box is still there!

Could it be a clue?A statue in the distance or something, misidentified by the camera?

Lu Song paused for a moment, couldn't help lowering his head and approaching the display screen, trying to see what's on it...

The box suddenly began to enlarge, and a pale figure rushed over with his mouth wide open.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

There was a heart-piercing scream at the end of the line. Before Mo Jue could see clearly, he saw a person running past him at high speed and disappeared into the thick fog.

Shen Yongle was so frightened that his hair almost exploded, he clenched his hands tightly, and then realized why he quickly relaxed.

Mo Jue patted him reassuringly, then turned to look back: "What's wrong?"

Many people were so frightened that they yelled together. It was only then that they came back to their senses and realized that no monster had appeared.

The broken camera fell to the ground, but the player who took the video had already run away.

Several players surrounded the camera that fell to the ground, hesitating whether to pick it up and have a look, but finally Mo Jue stretched out his hand first.

Mo Jue bent down slightly, but the next moment he felt the strength in his hands tighten, Shen Yongle stopped the movement by holding the hands they were holding.

Shen Yongle was probably reminded by SCP-087 before, when he saw the camera, he thought of SCP-096: "Although I'm not sure if it is, but it's better to be careful."

He briefly explained to everyone: "SCP-096, also known as 'Shy Man', is one of the classic anomalous items of the SCP Foundation. It often appears in the game with a video recorder, and will attack people who see it through the video."

"Approximately a humanoid creature about 2.38 meters tall, with atrophied muscles, unusually long arms, lack of pigment in the eyes and skin, and a jaw that can be stretched to four times the size of a normal human."

This should be one of the most well-known images of SCP, so there are also many barrages that help popularize science: [The reason why it is called "shy person" is because 096 cannot be seen face!Seeing directly, through a lens, photographs, whatever. ]

[When he is seen, he will cover his face and cry, scream like a baby, and then suddenly run away after a minute or two, breaking through all obstacles and rushing to kill anyone who sees his face. ]

[Yeah, I almost had a heart attack playing Containment Breach!Leshen also played before, and later claimed that he fainted 3D and gave up (doge)]

[Translation: Claiming to be dizzy with 3D, but actually being too scared to play (Zhengzhi.jpg)]

[Hahahahahaha! ]

Shen Yongle said that people's hearts are not old, you can Baidu it yourself, I won't tell you.

Fortunately, after hearing Shen Yongle's words, there is no player who must die to watch the video recorder, and no one has a heart attack and wants to find the player who just ran away - everyone knows that he is probably in danger.

However, unexpectedly, they continued walking along the road on the island for a while, and saw the player again at the end.

The player's temporary teammate was still there, and when he saw this, he called out his name in surprise: "Lu Song! That's great, are you okay?!"

Lu Song didn't respond.

His teammates paused, and immediately dared not move forward.

Mo Jue originally wanted to leave Shen Yongle where he was, and went up to check by himself - he could feel a layer of cold sweat on the hand he was holding, and seemed to be still trembling slightly.

Mo Jue thought that this would be Shen Yongle's first time seeing a dead person with his own eyes since he entered the game, he still couldn't bear it, so he patted the back of his hand and prepared to let go.

The moment the two hands were about to separate, Shen Yongle grabbed him instead.

Shen Yongle himself didn't know if he was reluctant to let go of Mo Jue's hand, or if he knew that sooner or later he would have to get used to it.

He seemed to be trying to muster up his courage, gritted his teeth, and looked into Mo Jue's eyes: "I'll accompany you."

Mo Jue glanced at him, but didn't say much, and led him forward together, raising his flashlight to shine on him.

As expected, Lu Song was leaning against a stone tablet, his chest was cut open a few times, as if he had been scratched by some sharp claws, even a lot of flesh had been dug away, and the bone was deep in the wound.

Shen Yongle's complexion was not very good, she only glanced at it and then hurriedly looked away, barely holding back the desire to retch.

Mo Jue gently squeezed his hand: "Are you okay?"

Shen Yongle nodded quickly, but still didn't dare to look back.

The barrage is full of comfort and encouragement. Everyone has played the doomsday game and knows how difficult it is for ordinary people to face these for the first time, but if they don’t want to be defeated, they can only become stronger.

Obviously, Shen Yongle also took the initiative to face the reality and tried to adapt as soon as possible because he had figured out this truth.

It's just that in many cases, everyone understands the truth, but whether it can be truly realized is another matter...

Shen Yongle felt that he might not be able to adapt well to someone dying in front of his eyes for a long time, so he could only try not to think too much about it, and only focused on the dungeon tasks and clues.

Mo Jue thoughtfully moved the flashlight away, and shone it on the tree trunk beside him.

"what?"

Shen Yongle did a while of mental construction, trying to divert his attention, his eyes subconsciously followed Mo Jue's flashlight to sweep across the tree trunk, and suddenly found that there seemed to be some words engraved on it.

He quickly informed everyone of the news.

The light was too dim, and the characters were engraved on the rough tree surface, which was very difficult to read at night. Fortunately, there were only a few short letters. They looked at the time and managed to get a rough idea.

It should be a noun - "Croatoan".

During this period, several players spontaneously searched the surroundings and found that this place should be a place similar to a small garden, surrounded by a hedge that is one person tall.

The big tree engraved with "Croatoan" is in the center of the garden, and right in front of it is the stone tablet that Lu Song is leaning on.

Everyone moved the corpse away, only to find that there was a mythical story engraved on the stele, the length was not short, but fortunately the stone inscription was relatively clear, and Shen Yongle knew the story from the beginning, so he could identify it in a short time.

He briefly told everyone.

"It is the story of Theseus, the illegitimate son of the King of Athens, who took the initiative to replace virgin boys and girls into the maze as a sacrifice, and then with the help of the princess of Crete, he used a ball of thread to crack the maze and kill the tauren."

"Theseus!" A player exclaimed, obviously remembering the name of the main line.

After searching for so long, this is the first time that a clue directly related to the main story appears, and everyone is a little excited.

Shen Yongle turned his head to look at the big tree, and confirmed the noun engraved on the tree again: "Strange..."

Mo Jue: "What?"

"This carving method should be the name of the island, right?" Shen Yongle was puzzled, "According to the story, this island should be called Crete, no matter how you think about it, it should be a word like Crete..."

Mo Jue thought about it, and guessed: "Maybe this island is not the island in that story? The area is too small, and we didn't see the tauren and the maze just now..."

Shen Yongle was instantly reminded by him, and only then did he realize that there was still something about the maze.

"No, there should be a maze, it's just that we couldn't see it because of the angle of sight when we walked in..."

Shen Yongle stopped the players who wanted to go out of the garden directly, and explored by holding hands to build a human bridge, and found that there was a fork in the road not far away.

The branch roads are distributed from the center to the outside, that is, when walking into the center from the outside, if you don’t look carefully, you will only see a road that converges forward, and only the width of the road will gradually increase; Two, or even several, forward-extending forks with very small initial angle deviations can be seen.

Shen Yongle's scalp was numb. Originally, it took them more than ten minutes to walk in, five minutes to study the engraving, and two or ten minutes to go back.

But if it's a labyrinth...even if it wasn't the one Daedalus built, it's not going to be easy.

Shen Yongle regretted endlessly: "Such a classic maze, I have walked for so long without realizing it..."

His tens of gigabytes of horror games are useless, maybe he will explain it here today.

Mo Jue came up from behind and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry."

There are many maze events in the Falcon Individual Competition, such as the "Pan God"-style three-dimensional maze, the honeycomb maze, etc., which have stronger requirements for the perception of space and distance, and map memory.

Of course, Shen Yongle knew that a maze of this level would be difficult to feel, but it was a dungeon game.

Since there is already a strategy for clearing the level, telling you to use Ariadne's ball of thread to crack it, how could it be possible for you to go out with the strongest brain?

Shen Yongle smiled at him, feeling really helpless, so he walked along one side of the wall, running faster, always fighting hard.

Suddenly, a light flashed in the distance, as if someone was shining here with a high-beam flashlight.

The light happened to pass over Lu Song who was in a miserable state of death, and the crowd suddenly became a commotion.

Mo Jue, as if he knew something long ago, climbed up the tree twice, adjusted the flashlight to high beam, and projected it back with a flash.

The two sides came and went, as if some information was exchanged.

After 10 minutes, Shen Yongle realized the true meaning of Mo Jue's "don't worry".

Yan Ning, holding a flashlight, appeared at the entrance of the garden, followed by Zhou Yuanhuai who shrank into a ball and looked around tremblingly.

Mo Jue: "Where's the thread?"

"Here." Yan Ning stepped aside, revealing the NPC behind him.

It was a woman dressed in white, with a pale face, dark circles under her eyes covering half of her face, and long black hair trailing behind her, extending into the depths of the maze.

Zhou Yuanhuai explained weakly: "This is a regular customer when I was a bartender."

Shen Yongle: "..."

This was probably the only time in his life that he would have a good impression of this kind of long-haired female ghost.

Everyone boarded the boat almost on time, Shen Yongle was still a little timid, and thanked the long-haired female ghost lady carefully, and got a creepy smile.

Leshen suddenly discovered the New World—so, as long as it doesn't violate the human design, NPCs can actually help!

Shen Yongle: "Is that... you can also ask the NPC directly for information?"

Barrage: [Yes! ]

[Choose the old man squatting in the corner, if he says something wrong, he can escape! ]

[Come on, what if it's SCP-106? ]

[Barrage body protection Barrage body protection Barrage body protection...]

Probably because it was still night, there were not many NPCs on the deck, and most of them were not so friendly, looking like they were about to violently eat people at any time.

Of course, Shen Yongle would not choose the target of the suspected SCP project to "strike up a conversation", he decided to directly ask the young lady who helped them just now, but the long-haired female ghost didn't seem to like too spacious places, so she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Shen Yongle turned his head and was about to look in the cabin, when he saw a player rushing out of the room suddenly, almost bumping into him.

When that person saw Shen Yongle, he immediately grabbed onto his arm as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "Help! He's dead! He's dead! Help!!..."

Shen Yongle was taken aback by him, but when he turned around, he saw Min Nanshu walking from the other side, and was also surprised when he saw this: "What's wrong?"

Shen Yongle: "It seems that some players died."

Mo Jue approached a few steps, stretched out his hand and tore the man off Shen Yongle's body: "Calm down... stand at attention. Stand against the wall. Take a deep breath."

Probably because Mo Jue was too imposing, the man subconsciously followed the order and stood up straight against the wall.

The surrounding players gathered spontaneously, and it seemed that the person was finally relieved when he was surrounded in the center.

He took two deep breaths, and after a long while, he opened his mouth tremblingly: "Dead, dead people, it's not a collapse of people, I don't know why they died..."

A player who went down to the island whispered: "Lu Song is dead too, he's just a dead person, haven't you gotten used to it yet?"

The man shook his head frantically.

"No," he choked with tears in his eyes, "the three of them died... all died, so I went to the bathroom, and everyone died..."

Shen Yongle quickly calculated.

Excluding the two players they had witnessed dying at the beginning, two more died one after another. Before leaving the island in groups, there were a total of fourteen players left, who were divided into two groups of seven.

Apart from Yan Ning and Zhou Yuanhuai who came to look for them, there should be five people left on the boat.

That is to say—except for Min Nanshu and the man named Tao Yanqi in front of him, all other players are dead.

No wonder this man was terrified.
