Forced to bind with escape game NPC [unlimited]

When we returned to the dormitory, it was already close to sunset.

Based on the rules of entering the game several times, Qi Anqi speculates that the order of time flow is: instance > game world > real world.In other words, a day has passed in the real world, and only half a day has passed in the game world, while several days may have passed in the dungeon.

Wait, isn't it easy to gain weight if you eat a lot in the dungeon and return to the real world?

As soon as this strange idea came out, she suddenly felt a pang of hunger.In the dungeon, she fought against pests and bad weather every day, and only ate some bread. Later, when she was waiting for the results in the game hall, she did not supplement other food. When she returned to reality, she returned to the state of an ordinary person. It is not surprising that she would feel hungry. But why doesn't she feel tired?

Qi Anqi couldn't think of an answer in the end, she chose to go out to eat something, and then went to the Internet cafe to check the website that she had registered before.

Her account has passed the permission of the administrator, and she can already set a nickname.She thought about it and typed [77], but this user name was used again.

In desperation, she typed a pinyin [QIQI], and then entered the forum.

The nickname of the administrator of the forum is a doctor in red font that is different from other players, and the game post he posted two years ago is at the top.

[This is a special game world that is not noticed by outsiders. Only players of the same game can exchange information. When a player tries to pass game information to others, the content will be blocked by special forces. This Do games have the power to influence the real world? ]

[If you die accidentally in the game, it will trigger some kind of unavoidable law of causality in reality, and you will also die due to some accidents. ]

Qi Anqi paid special attention to the above two items.

In addition to event posts, there are also many members posting posts in the forum, which are much more harmonious than Qi Anqi imagined, and there are even some game guides:

[How to obtain required points by clearing low-star levels multiple times]

[Precautions for levels above five stars]

And in the middle, there is a content title that is somewhat out of place: [This is a game that can bring happiness to people].

The post had thousands of views, and Qi Anqi also clicked in.

The poster is Xiaohong. According to her description, her life is very bleak, and the node is this game.She was pulled into the game when she was so disappointed in everything.She met her companions in the game and met her current boyfriend. She even felt that every time she played the game, her life was getting better and her luck was getting better.

In the replies, many people said that they faced some pressure and suffering before entering the game. Since becoming players, even if they did not use game points to buy real items or exchange currency, their lives seem to be better than before. some.

But there are also some people who say that Xiaohong is talking nonsense, this game will only bring people crisis and more pressure, and will only make their already painful life worse.

In this post alone, there are ten pages of discussions on whether this game is a doom or an opportunity.

Are there so many people on this forum?

Qi Anqi slid all the way down, and then saw a person's reply: [Didn't it say that collecting all ten hidden items can make any wish come true?Maybe this game is to provide players with an opportunity. ]

[Reply 1: Collect all ten hidden props?That is a task that can only be imagined by the Grand Council.There are tens of thousands of dungeons in this game, and the hidden mission of each dungeon can only be opened once. How can ordinary people like us do it by collecting all ten?The average person gets one and is accepted by the Grand Council. ]

[Reply 2: Generally, if you collect them all, you should make a wish to leave this game. After all, who wants to walk on the edge of a knife every day. ]

Qi Anqi remembered that Jiang Shuimiao said that there would be a special reward for collecting all ten hides. Was this reward the fulfillment of any wish?

This reminded her that Lu Qi had just told her that this game can bring the dead back to life. Is this related to this desire?

In the following week, Qi Anqi put her experience into her thesis for the school year, and when the thesis was finished, she could report to the company for an internship.

When the thesis was almost finished, she used the token to enter the game world again.

This time, she was not in a hurry to enter the game, she made an agreement with Jiang Shuimiao, and was still waiting at the entrance of the game hall.Before that, she chose to hang out outside the game hall.

This place is the same as her first impression. It is a bustling neighborhood. There are many more items for sale than in the game hall. There is even a player trading center where unwanted items obtained in the dungeon can be sold and traded. into points.

[Versailles Flower Shop], [Anne's Pastry Shop], [Sip's Divination House], [Daily Hotel], [Kornill's Information Shop]...

Qi Anqi scanned the shop names one by one, and finally stopped at the information shop.She entered the information store and chatted with the NPC inside to find out that the main business of this so-called information store is to help players find CP.Players can spend points to register information here, and then as long as the player with the corresponding token also registers, the store will contact the two players and ask them if they need to meet each other.

Player information is absolutely confidential, but...

"Obviously the NPC of the system is running the store. The system supposedly knows each of our tokens, but it has to register for a fee instead of directly telling us who the other half is. What a pitfall."

Qi An turned his head and looked at the person behind him who said these words in a crisp voice - Bran.

"Bran?" Qi Anqi didn't expect to meet the little girl again, she smiled, "Do you have a token too?"

"Qiqi." Bran also responded to her. After experiencing her intuition and the last copy, she has fully trusted Qi Anqi, "I am not yet an adult, and the system said that I will not give me a token until I become an adult."

Is that so?Qi Anqi didn't know this from Jiang Shuimiao. She always thought that he also had a token, but out of respect, she never asked.

"Qiqi, are you going to spend points to register to find the other half?" Bran asked.

Qi An shook his head, walked up to the little girl, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I have already found my other half."

Bran couldn't believe it: "When?" She didn't have one the last time they played together.After speaking, Bran seemed to think of something: "Fantasy day?"

When Qi Anqi registered for the fantasy day, Bran was also there, but by such a coincidence, he was assigned to the same game as his bound CP on the fantasy day?

"It's, it's not..." Qi Anqi didn't know how to explain.

Bran:?

"Are you here to complete the dungeon today?" Qi Anqi changed the subject.

Bran nodded, nine days had passed since the last time, and she didn't want to be pulled into the game by the copy.By the way, so is she!The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked with a little hope, "Do you want...together?"

Although all the uncles and aunts in the guild were willing to take her, Bran would only feel more comfortable with Qi Anqi.

Qi Anqi looked at the little girl, she seemed to muster up some courage to ask this question, if it wasn't because of her acquaintance, she must be as restrained when facing strangers as she was when they first met.

"Okay."

On the way to the game hall, Bran mentioned Fantasy Day: "I heard that there are three fantasy days this time, except for the scholar and Shi Yi, there is a newcomer who has never heard of it."

Qi An chirped: "..."

"I hope that one day I can reach the strength of the standings." Bran muttered softly.

Qi An chirped: "..."

At the entrance of the player hall, Qi Anqi did not see Jiang Shuimiao, but instead received a letter——

The white carrier pigeon flapped its wings and brought a payment letter to Qi Anqi. There was no writing on the cover of the envelope, only a red stamp.

"This is a letter that only the system can send, and it is used for communication and messages between players." Bran explained, "Only the recipient can open the letter."

Qi Anqi opened the letter and found that the sender was Jiang Shuimiao. On it was the high school student's indescribable handwriting:

Sister Qiqi, when I was waiting for you, I happened to meet the master who brought me up last time. He invited me to join his team for free. I agreed, so I won't bother you this time.By the way, this letter cost me 100 points, it hurts so much, I cry.

The word "free" was written by Jiang Shuimiao particularly deeply and grandly.

Qi An chirped: "..."

To be honest, she would prefer Jiang Shuimiao to participate in the dungeon by herself, after all, it is impossible to ask others for help all the time.

So it was Qi Anqi and Bran who walked to the self-service machine.

The machine scanned their identities, and gave the dungeon stars that can be entered at present, the lowest one star, the highest five stars.

Bran glanced at Qi Anqi: "You have unlocked five stars."

"Shouldn't it be unlocked?" Qi An asked chirpingly.

After clearing the one-and-a-half-star dungeon for the first time, Qi Anqi unlocked the three-star dungeon, so she took it for granted that the five-star dungeon appeared this time.

"It stands to reason that, starting from the three-star dungeon, every time a dungeon with the corresponding number of stars is passed, the next-star dungeon will be unlocked." Bran looked at the number of stars on the machine, "And if you form a team, two people will form a team. It is based on the level of the copy of the person with the lower star, but there is no such rule for multi-person teams.”

After listening to Bran's explanation, Qi Anqi understood that if she could only enter a four-star dungeon at most, and Bran could only enter a five-star dungeon, their team would only show up to a four-star dungeon.

However, now the machine shows that five-star dungeons can be selected, which means that the highest level dungeon she can enter is at most five-star.

Bran blinked, she clearly remembered that Qi Anqi said that the last time was the first time she entered the Samsung copy.

And she has completed four-star and five-star dungeons under the leadership of other members of the guild, so the five-star dungeons are unlocked.

"Maybe this game can be skipped?" Bran heard the big sister next to him say, "I may be too good, so I just skipped the level and unlocked the copy."

Bran:? ? ?

***

[Player Qi Anqi, code-named QAQ, welcome back to the thrilling love game, it was detected that you got rewards on Fantasy Day, ability upgrade x1, do you want to upgrade? ]

"upgrade."

[Ability, the shadow of nightmare in the pupil, the upgrade is completed, evolved into, the shadow of nightmare in the mirror image. ]

[Player Qi Anqi, codenamed QAQ, dungeon loading——]

[Loading is successful, the player is about to enter the new Western Fantasy copy: Magic, the difficulty is five stars, the game is about to start, I hope you can bond with your other half during this trip, I wish you a happy game]

……

Qi Anqi observed the middle-world style street in front of her, deftly dodging the carriage that almost hit her.

Neither the coachman nor the people in the carriage seemed to care whether she was rubbed or not, and continued to drive forward without stopping.

She frowned, picked up a stone, looked at the busy street, and threw the stone at the horse's butt.

The frightened horse neighed and raised its front hooves, almost throwing the coachman to the ground. The carriage also jolted, and the people inside scolded the coachman.All this did not cause any abnormality, as if it was an episode in a market.

It looks like a normal place, Qi Anqi thought.

As she walked along the bazaar, the bakery's hostess was chatting with customers:

"Did you know? The royal family started hunting wizards again."

"I've heard that the prince's disease is getting worse and worse. Not long ago, my husband heard from the doctor that the prince would convulse for no reason from time to time. When he woke up, he would say that he was involved in a terrible curse. Hey , that poor prince, I don’t know how long the curse of our kingdom will last.”

Qi Anqi's footsteps stopped for a moment, and he continued to move forward.

The way people dress here is completely different from modern times. Both men and women wear layers of commoner clothes. Men wear trousers, women wear long skirts. The shoes are similar soft leather scorpions. Their heads are either wrapped with turbans fixed with pine needles or worn. Hats, everyone wrapped themselves tightly from top to bottom, only showing their faces.

However, her hooded sweater and leggings did not arouse anyone's suspicious gaze. Even the only two soldiers with swords around their waists walked past her calmly.

"Do you know the potion distributed by the Holy See recently? It cured my years-old illness." The old fruit seller said to the customer.

"My son's cough that could not be cured before has been cured." The guest said with emotion, "Praise the Pope."

"Praise the Pope."

The voices of these two people were much louder than the two who were talking about the royal family just now, and they seemed to be praising from the bottom of their hearts without any shyness.

From the streets to the alleys, Qi Anqi walked through the entire market, but there was no sign of Bran, nor did he see any other players dressed like her.

Did she enter the dungeon entrance with Bran, and the probability of being scattered to different dungeons is very low, or did she trigger a special event or task?

Next to the market, there is a small hotel and tavern, Qi Anqi walked in and sat at the bar.

The bearded owner immediately came over to greet him: "Guest, are you a stranger? I haven't seen you before."

"Probably." Qi An replied.

The bearded man didn't ask her if she wanted to stay in the hotel or drink, but nodded with a smile, then bent down and began to rummage behind the bar.

The two drunkards behind Qi Anqi were also talking about royal secrets at this time.

"Did you know that it is said that Princess Triss, who married the prince, had an affair with other people."

"Oh? How did I hear that the prince can't do it?"

"Then your news is not well-informed. Otherwise, why have there been no news about this couple after two or three years? You must know that when King Bosby was this age, he had already given birth to four."

A round heavy object was lifted out from behind the bar by the bearded man, and placed in front of Qi Anqi.It was an opaque crystal ball, and the inside of the ball seemed to be surrounded by fog.It was placed on a smooth wooden handle, without a base, but without rolling, it was miraculously held in place by an unknown force.

"Come on, touch it." The bearded man said helplessly, "Recently, the investigation has been strict. The royal family ordered us shops to check the identity of the guests when receiving strangers. Please forgive me. After all, no one wants to meet evil wizards." right?"

Qi Anqi put his hand on the crystal ball, the ball was icy and cool, without any strange touch.

About ten seconds later, the smog lingering in the sphere suddenly dissipated, and soon the crystal sphere was so clear that a beard on the other end could be seen from one end.

"What do you mean..." Qi An raised his head and saw the frightened look in the bearded eyes.

Okay, don't ask, she understands.

Without any hesitation, she got up and pushed open the door of the tavern, and ran out.

From behind her, the door was rushed open again, and the bearded man shouted: "Officer, officer, I met a wizard here, and I just ran away..."

Qi Anqi passed through one alley after another, and finally stopped in a small corner.

At least she understands now that this is a country with a royal family and the Holy See, the royal family is cursed, and wizards are arrested everywhere, and the Holy See likes to distribute medicine, which has cured many people.And her identity is a wizard.

[Cursed royal family, evil wizard, imperial power or religious power?I choose love.Player Qi Anqi's game clearance condition: cure the prince's disease. ]

It's a good choice to choose love... This is really the consistent style of this game, looking for CP every word.

Qi Anqi was wondering how to collect clues under the eyes of the officers and soldiers, when a person appeared behind him at some point.

"Oh, you are here!"

She turned around abruptly and looked at the man who suddenly appeared behind her.Obviously, when the system announced the task, she hadn't seen this person in this alley where the head could be seen at a glance, and now he appeared.

This is a man wearing a blue Phrygian hat. The hat is tapered and protruding, as if dragging a small ball that seems to be nothing. This outfit, if paired with a red nose, is a bit like a circus clown.

"Who are you?" Qi Anqi took a step back and asked.

"It's too late, are the officers and soldiers already arresting you?" The man in the blue hat seemed to have something stuck in his throat. It's a matter of urgency.

Qi An said: "I'm not in a hurry, I think you're actually more in a hurry."

She looked at the blue hat and paused. After a second of silence, she continued hastily: "You need to find the Pope urgently to be rescued. Go to 13 Angel Street first."

"Do you have to go?" Qi Anqi looked at the blue hat calmly.

Blue Hat: "..."

He stomped left and right alternately, turned around and ran away, like a child practicing running for the first time on the playground, leaving only an inarticulate remark: "No. 13 Anglia Street, remember, blue Parrots are the scariest creatures in the world!"

After the figure of the blue hat disappeared, Qi Anqi read the street name in his mouth: "No. 13 Angeli Street? It sounds unlucky at all."

***

Bran walked cautiously on the street, and when she sensed soldiers approaching, she would dodge into the crowd, and her immature figure gave her good cover.

"No. 13 Angel Street?" She thought of the mysterious and ridiculous man who appeared not long ago after the system notified the task.He told her a location that was obviously very suspicious.

But apart from this place, she has no clues to obtain for the time being.She can only guess that the NPC forcibly pulled the progress of the plot, so she had to check it out.

Fortunately, no one here held a crystal ball for her to touch. Bran inquired for a while as a child, and soon knew the location of Angel Street, which was only a block or two away from her.

Along the way, she paid attention to other people, but she didn't see Qi Qi.

Thinking of Qiqi, Bran felt a little nerve-wracking.She was torn between the three-star and four-star dungeons, but Qiqi chose the five-star dungeon without even thinking about it.

"Wait..." Bran didn't have time to stop, and the system had already displayed their entrance numbers.

The last time Bran cleared the five-star dungeon, it was with the help of several guild members.

The biggest difference between a five-star dungeon and a four-star dungeon is that the clues are obscure and more dangerous.Although the previous copy of the wish was complicated, as long as it was reincarnated over and over again, someone would always find something was wrong, but this time there was no regret.

There's even a potential possibility...

When thinking of this, Bran saw a copper sign not far away, engraved with No. 13 Angeli Street.

This is a small hotel, and the inside cannot be seen clearly from the outside window, and at the door at this time, there is another woman who is dressed similarly to the locals.

However, when she saw the woman's face, she couldn't hold back, "Qiqi?"

Qi An turned her head and saw Bran standing not far away. She was not surprised that she would appear here. After all, if they were in the same instance, the NPCs would most likely point to the same direction, but——

In her eyes, Bran was the same as the locals at this time, wearing layers of sarongs, and his eyes looked at her suspiciously.

"Why are you dressed like this?"

"Why are you dressed like this?"

The two spoke almost at the same time, and Qi Anqi immediately understood after speaking.It turns out that in the eyes of the other party, or people other than myself, they are perfectly integrated into the local dressing style.

Bran also reacted quickly: "You were also told to come to this place?"

Qi An nodded: "Looks like it's a forced plot, let's go in." She pushed open the door of the small hotel without hesitation.Along the way, she also investigated other places, except here, she had nowhere to go for the time being.

After the door was pushed open, the outdoor sunlight illuminated the room of less than twenty square meters. Behind the dark brown wooden counter stood an old man in a blue robe.

In front of the old man was a crystal ball that Qi Anqi had seen before. He gently pushed the crystal ball aside, then raised his eyelids and looked over the reading glasses at the two young girls who walked in.The sphere that was originally surrounded by mist, at the moment it was touched, where the old man's fingertips met, the mist dispersed and gathered for a short time.

When he saw the people who came in clearly, the old man said with some impoliteness: "I don't accept customers anymore."

"Someone asked us to come here." Qi An said chirpingly.

The old man didn't seem to believe her words: "Please go out, my place is going to be closed."

Chian Chi didn't move, and neither did Bran.

"The blue parrot is the scariest creature in the world." Qi Anqi repeated the words of the strange man in the blue hat in front of the old man.

This time, the old man raised his chin. He pushed open the side door next to the counter and walked out. He looked at the two of them again for a moment, and made a gesture of invitation: "Please come upstairs with me, guests of the Pope."

Qi Anqi and Bran looked at each other, and followed the old man.

"The blue parrot is the scariest creature? What kind of strange code is this?" Bran asked in a low voice, confused.

Qi Anqi: "It seems that the pope is leading a strange religious organization."

At this time, the old man coughed lightly, as if he wanted her to pay attention to her wording.

Qi An said: "It seems that this is a strange pope."

elder:"……"

There are two rooms on the second floor, one for each of Qi Anqi and Bran.

"I will bring food later, and tomorrow morning I will take two guests to the respected Pope." The old man said.

"Why tomorrow?" Qi An asked chirpingly.

"Because it's getting dark." The old man finished speaking and went downstairs.

Qi An looked out of the window, many households had already lit oil lamps, and the windows were filled with warm yellow light, wasn't it just dark that made it easier for them to slip away from under the noses of those officers and soldiers?

That night, Qi Anqi was woken up by a howling wolf, which almost penetrated half of the sky, ignoring the barriers of the windows, and reaching Qi Anqi's ears.

Will there be wolves in such a big town?

When this idea came up, Qi Anqi opened his eyes and found that everything around him began to change: thick spider webs climbed up the corners, the paint on the walls faded and became mottled, the half-dyed glass began to shatter, and the wind blows Through the broken window into the room.

Before the bedding faded to ashes, Qi Anqi got up, went to the window and looked out.

The originally bustling city was now silent in desolation and darkness, the city towers were dilapidated, and there were no people or lights.

She almost forgot that this is a horror game.

[The author has something to say]

After putting it in the manuscript box, I forgot to set the timer...Suddenly remembered to get up and post
