Please Obey The Game

"..."

Silence spread, Gao Yan and the others didn't know nor were they interested in knowing how Zheng Weimin and his group reacted when they heard the news.

Su Jiang scratched his head in doubt: "The thing that explains the rules is the Guanyin statue. Now that it is taken away by the landlord, we can still hear it talking? Is it a boss or an NPC? Now that the dungeon benefits are cancelled, players do not have advanced rules to protect... ...But three people have already died without the protection of advanced rules, isn't it more dangerous now?"

He is very confused now, completely unclear about the situation.

Zheng Weimin said that this is a dungeon that won't kill people, but three people died just one day later. It doesn't look like a beginner level dungeon protected by advanced rules.

However, the game clearly stated that this was a novice primary dungeon, and out of fairness of the rules, it would never make a mistake on purpose.

In addition, what puzzled him the most was the eight-armed Avalokitesvara statue.

It is the NPC that explains the rules, but it is also the one that protects the players.

Su Jiang: "What's going on?"

Gao Yan and the others had already come to the downstairs hall, but he did not stop, but continued to walk towards the first and second floors underground.

"I'm not sure either." Gao Yan had some guesses in his heart, but now the focus is on the 'main god-level player'.

Due to the appearance of the "master god-level player", the primary field was upgraded to a high-level field as a restriction, and in the end, he was forcibly downgraded to the primary field due to aggrievedness. How powerful is this main god-level player? !

The second floor is the basement, empty and unoccupied, the lights are pale and gloomy, and the footsteps are extremely loud no matter how lightly you put them.

The door on the second floor was closed, and Su Jiang asked, "Do you want to open the door?"

Yang Mian walked to the nearest room, grabbed the doorknob and tried to open it: "It's locked, I can't open it."

Gao Yan: "Forget it, go to the first floor to have a look." After finishing speaking, he turned and went downstairs.

Su Jiang and the two followed and soon reached the corridor entrance on the first floor.The entrance to the corridor is locked by an iron door, which cannot be opened without a key.

Yang Mian was closest to the iron gate. She put her ear on the iron gate and listened for a long time.

"There is movement inside, like the sound of wind." She spoke slowly, looking for a suitable description: "There is a sound of water, like a bunch of sticky insects or the sticky sound of octopuses squeezed together. the sound of."

Gao Yan stepped forward and pushed the door, but the iron door didn't move at all, and it was tightly fitted to the edge of the door, making it impossible to see the scene inside from the edge.

He glanced at the keyhole: "The landlord should have the key."

The first floor cannot be entered, and the doors on the second floor are closed. Both floors are extremely weird.The three of them returned without success, so they came to the fourth floor.The third floor is the lobby, and the fourth floor is the residents who burn incense to drive away evil spirits.

Zheng Weimin and his group seemed to think that they could get more clues from the place where they could watch Luoyin upstairs, so they ran upstairs in unison since yesterday.

As for the residents on the fourth floor... can there be normal people in the garbage game?

Su Jiang knocked on the door first, and the door opened. "Hi—" He smiled friendly.

With a bang, the door slammed open, trembling slightly with some aftershocks.

Su Jiang distorted a pretty boyish face: "Am I ugly? Does he know that when I first debuted, someone paid 100 million for my first night, and I rejected the price because it was too low? Why does he dislike me?!"

Yang Mian took a step forward: "I'll do it."

This time she knocked on a door, and the owner was a 180-pound otaku.The otaku had no resistance against the girls in Japanese high school uniforms, and Gao Yan kicked him back into the house as soon as he opened the iron gate outside.

Yang Mian was stunned, and Su Jiang, who had a tacit understanding with Gao Yan, quickly jumped in and motioned for Yang Mian to come in, then closed the two-story door.

The 180-pound otaku was kidnapped without the ability to resist. He had a dazed face, wondering how Hao Duanduan would encounter robbers at home?

Gao Yan went straight to the point: "What is living on the first and second floors?"

Hearing this, the otaku showed a look of fear: "You are also here to take risks? I advise you to leave quickly if you don't want to die, some things can't be touched casually."

"What lives downstairs?"

"Ghost, didn't you come here to take risks because you heard that the building was haunted? Many young people and city reporters would come here every now and then, and they all died in the end."

In the coffin building, people and ghosts live in the same room. It is estimated that there are ghosts living on the second floor.The haunted building mentioned by the otaku is the background of the game, and the adventurer is most likely the identity of the player.

"What about the first floor? Don't lie to me, the people living on the first floor are not ghosts."

The otaku's face became even more frightened, he swallowed his saliva, and asked tremblingly, "Did you see that thing?"

Gao Yan remained calm: "We don't understand, we want to leave too, but we can't now." He pointed at Yang Mian: "You have the heart for such a cute girl to die here?"

That is really unbearable.

The otaku scratched his head: "Actually, I'm also a new resident. I just moved here not long ago. I don't know much about the legend of this building. I heard that a long time ago, there was a temple here, and a statue of a god was enshrined. Later, the superstition was broken, and the temple was closed It was demolished, and the foundation was rebuilt into a building. However, accidents happened frequently, and an expert was invited to come, saying that it was necessary to build a coffin building where yin and yang live together to suppress evil spirits."

After a short pause, he continued: "After the residents move in, they have to light Buddhist incense in front of the door every night. The new residents don't know the situation, and accidents will happen in all likelihood. The first floor... the people living on the first floor are actually not ghosts. "

"To be precise, it is a monster formed by the condensed grievances of a group of people after death."

Gao Yan: "Ghost resentment. What is the source?"

Otaku: "I don't know. I haven't been here for long, and I don't understand many things."

Gao Yan thought for a while, and then asked, "Is there a Guanyin statue in the building?"

Hearing the word 'Avalokitesvara', the otaku shrank under the table in fright, trembling all over: "No, there are no other Avalokitesvara statues, no...don't ask, you should leave quickly. Ask me again I don't know, let's go."

Ask other questions, most of the otaku can't answer, and he is very cooperative with the questions he can answer.In the end, there was nothing to ask, so Gao Yan and the three got up and left.

When he got to the door, Gao Yan suddenly turned around and called the house man: "The landlord's mother's funeral, will you go with the residents in the building?"

"Ah?" The otaku replied blankly, "No...not going, not this time."

Gao Yan nodded: "Thank you."

"No, no thanks."

The door closed, and the otaku returned to the living room and curled up on the sofa.Outside the door, the three of them stood in the dead corridor on the fourth floor.

Su Jiang asked in a low voice: "The residents in the building are human, right? There are living NPCs in the garbage game?!"

So high-end, and realistic.

"It's not an NPC." Yang Mian said calmly, "The time limit of the game is six days. There will always be people who survive six days but fail to complete the game task. The 'artifacts' of peaceful coexistence. Even NPCs are not considered, we are now considered a primary field, and we can easily get information, but it will be difficult to get prompt information from the mouths of 'artifacts' and NPCs in the future."

Su Jiang suddenly felt shuddering. He was trapped in the ghost building without life or death and became an "artifact". According to the settings given by the game, he became a resident, like an obedient doll implanted with a program. It would be better to be eaten by the landlord. , at least to die in a gourmet way.

Gao Yan rubbed his stomach and said to himself: "I'm hungry, go find something to eat." He waved his hand at Yang Mian: "If you have something to say, we'll talk about it when we go back. We'll ask the landlord for something to eat first. There's nothing this early in the morning." Eat something to fill your stomach, you are hungry and tired, and your limbs are weak."

Yang Mian: "...Now there are not many young people like you who insist on eating breakfast."

She has not known what breakfast is for two years, so she has not felt hungry since getting up early in the morning.

Gao Yan was noncommittal: "Really? Breakfast is good for promoting blood circulation."

When they returned to the fifth floor, they happened to see the landlord pushing the dining cart and knocking on the rooms. Some rooms were kicked open when no one answered, and they knocked on the next room after checking that there was no one inside.

It turned out that because the three life-saving props were cancelled, Zheng Weimin and the others had to share the same room as a pair to reduce the use of Buddhist incense.

They opened the door one after another, stared at the cannibal landlord with displeasure and vigilance, and refused the lunch offered by the landlord.

Zheng Weimin, on the other hand, took the lunch and glanced at Gao Yan before returning to the room, and was relieved to see the three of them returning empty-handed.

Gao Yan: "Give us three lunches."

Landlord: "..." With a stiff face, he squeezed out a smiling face, and after delivering three lunches, he specially gave Gao Yan a small jar of fruit candies, holding back two words: "Gift."

Gao Yan sized up the landlord suspiciously: "You still sell real-world candy here?"

Landlord: "Import. Import through special channels."

He had a look of pride of "the channel my father has mastered, you trash can't imagine", and immediately thought of the dog who forced him to give candy, and his heart was full of aggrieved.

Gao Yan took the three lunches and the small can of fruit candy, while the landlord pushed the dining car back angrily.

Su Jiang took the three lunches, took a look at the sugar bowl, and said in surprise, "Isn't this the brand of fruit candy that you always keep, Brother Yan?"

He almost forgot that Gao Yan had hypoglycemia, it wasn't serious, he could just eat a piece of candy when he was hungry.However, I was in a hurry when I entered the game, and I didn't bring any candy with me. Fortunately, the host gave me fruit candy of the same brand as a gift.

"It's quite human." Su Jiang muttered.

Yang Mian was absent-minded and didn't notice this.

The three entered the house and found that there were traces of being searched in the room.

Gao Yan had expected it a long time ago, he said: "Last night we survived without burning incense, Zheng Weimin must have suspected that we have life-saving props, so he would steal them while we were out."

Su Jiang: "Fortunately, we sold the Guanyin statue." Thinking about it, I suddenly felt it was a good deal.

Gao Yan asked them to eat first, to fill their stomachs before discussing other matters.He put the can of fruit candy in his pocket, and when he finished eating, he opened it and took an orange-flavored candy and put it in his mouth.

With a mellow taste and a sufficient amount of juice, it is indeed a brand that is usually eaten.

Gao Yan was lying on the sofa with downcast eyes, his quiet appearance was exceptionally well-behaved and gentle, his black hair drooped obediently, his skin was fair, and his face was handsome.

It looks very small and immature, like a freshman.

In fact, he had just participated in the college graduation internship, but he calmly led the other two throughout the whole process, which was simply too reliable.

Yang Mian cleared his throat: "Let me re-introduce myself, my name is Lu Yangmian, a professional financial analyst, from Suihai City. To be more precise, I am the next master of Changchun Taoist Temple in Suihai City, a Taoist priest."

Gao Yan raised his eyes, slightly surprised.

Unlearned and incompetent Su Xiaojiang exclaimed: "Sister, why do you have hair?"

"...I am a Taoist priest, not a nun. You can still call me Yang Mian as before, and my surname is not Lu before the official transfer of ownership." Yang Mian took a deep breath and said, "I entered the game on my own initiative for the purpose of cultivation. The specific situation is temporary I can't tell, and I don't know the essence of the game either. Because this is also my novice beginner's field, and I may not be able to survive to the advanced stage, so no one told me the essence of the game."

"The only thing I know is that death is real, and so are the rewards you get for clearing the game. I didn't take the initiative to explain it at the beginning because I was afraid of people's suspicions. It's best to pretend that I don't know anything. About this, I'm sorry."

Both Gao Yan and Su Jiang understood Yang Mian's concealment and didn't care.

Yang Mian frowned: "There's also Zheng Weimin, I've heard of him before. He has a bad reputation, often deceives newcomers, deliberately misleading information and killing many newcomers. The specific operation is unknown."

After saying that, she hesitated for a moment, then looked at Gao Yan: "You seem to know a lot about Xuanmen...are you going with me?"

"No. I have done a lot of private planning work in my four years of college, and I spent two years helping to write a copy for a supernatural forum, and consulted a lot of relevant information."

Su Jiang: "I testify that there is an entire row in Brother Yan's study room full of folklore books."

After the two parties were frank, the relationship between each other has more trust.

Su Jiang asked: "Then continue to look for clues? This time I have to look upstairs."

Gao Yan: "There are still four days, don't worry." He turned his head and asked Yang Mian: "Do you know the main god-level player?"

He wanted to know the information about the main god-level player who triggered the hidden plot.

Yang Mian froze for a moment, then shook her head and replied, "Before I came in, there were no main god-level players."

In other words, the main god-level player may have successfully advanced in these two days.

"However," Yang Mian added: "If we say that the person who is most likely to advance to the master god level player should come from the 'Gods'."

"'Gods' is a team with only 13 members. There are three pseudo-lord-level members, and they are all high-level gods. Their identities... Uh, I don’t know. I can’t hear more information from non-player identities. But once We are official players when we leave alive, and we can know a lot about the game and the gods."

"'Gods' is a legend." Yang Mian held her face in her hands, with a yearning expression on her face. "A lot of people in Taoism actually participated in this game, basically they all know about the 'gods', and they dream that one day they will be chosen as new teammates by luck."

Yang Mian doesn't know much about the game than them. He is also a novice, and the starting line is the same, which is an absolutely fair rule.

Gao Yan: "You can do activities on your own in the afternoon, Yang Mian, first give me three incense sticks."

Yang Mian gave him three incense sticks, and the remaining 17 sticks are still carried with him.

In the afternoon, Yang Mian and Su Jiang went upstairs to look for clues, while Gao Yan was taking a nap.

In the evening, the landlord came to deliver dinner, and stared at the player like he was looking at pork. Gao Yan also received the same gaze.

Gao Yan: "Can you introduce me to one of the import channels?"

The landlord sneered: "Big face."

Gao Yan: "In business, first time you are a stranger and second time you are acquainted. Both of us have a good past, why don't we deepen our communication and strengthen our relationship?"

Without further ado, the landlord pushed the little broken dining cart and ran away—one or two were not a thing.

Gao Yan shook his head: "What if you're shy?"

Su Jiang and Yang Mian behind him were speechless, bro, are you not blind?

In the middle of the night, Su Jiang washed the dishes, put five taels of uncooked rice at the door, and Yang Mian lit three incense sticks and put them on the uncooked rice.Then, the three of them gathered around the living room after washing. Since they had a nap in the afternoon, they didn't feel sleepy right now.

Gao Yan: "Su Jiang, didn't you ask you to bring melon seeds and green tea bags back earlier? Take them out."

Taking advantage of Sujiang's spare time to boil water, Gao Yan went out with three incense sticks, and when he came back after a while, the green tea was brewed.

Su Jiang: "Brother, who has gone to hell with you?"

Gao Yan took a sip of green tea: "Take care of Zheng Weimin, he is a problem."

Yang Mian was stunned: "He is very cunning, he has many life-saving props, he probably won't die."

"That's not necessarily true." Gao Yan grabbed a handful of melon seeds: "Freud said that it is human nature to gossip - talk while chatting, and go to bed at about the same time."

Su Jiang was so happy that he grabbed the melon seeds and chatted about all kinds of gossip in the circle.Yang Mian originally wanted to say that Freud hadn't said that, but 'chirp, smack' was gradually fascinated by listening to the gossip.

——What Freud said really makes sense.

Su Jiang and Yang Mian fell asleep, and Gao Yan was woken up in the middle of the night as usual.The earth-shattering noise in the corridor, accompanied by Zheng Weimin's horrified scolding and cries for help, lasted for more than 40 minutes, and the movement outside gradually died down.

What followed was the sound of chewing, the sour sound of bones being crushed and flesh chewing between the canine teeth.

Gao Yan kept his eyes open and didn't fall asleep until almost midnight, but was woken up by screams less than two hours later, so he had to get up.

Not surprisingly, Zheng Weimin died.

His body was hung upside down from the ceiling, his arms were torn off, his chest was cut open, and half of his internal organs were eaten.

It's still like killing a pig.

The remaining four players couldn't help but collapse, and the strongest backer fell, how could they leave here alive?

Among them, the elite man and another woman suddenly remembered that there were three incense sticks left, so they endured the pungent smell of blood and went into the room to search.

It's a pity that I couldn't find the three incense sticks.

While everyone was staring at the corpse, Gao Yan pulled the three thin bamboo handles of Buddhist incense from the bowl of uncooked rice at the door of Zheng Weimin's room.

Only Yang Mian noticed this scene, and at the same time found that the bowl of uncooked rice at the door of Zheng Weimin's room originally had six sticks of Buddhist incense sticks in it.

The other three sticks should be the three sticks that Gao Yan brought out last night.

Five taels of raw rice in front of the gate, three incense sticks for ghosts and gods, and six incense sticks for attracting evil spirits.

The author has something to say: Chu Gou: Even if the level of the game field is different, it can't stop me from giving candy to my daughter-in-law!

Landlord: Get out of here!

Author: Do you have the heart to talk about fattening?Authors who don't comment will be withered T_T

Five taels of raw rice in front of the door and six sticks of Buddhist incense are all fabricated, but generally three, five, seven, and nine incenses are chosen for worshiping gods and ghosts.

Freud said gossip is human nature.

——Floyd, I never said that!

PS: Shou is not the main god, he is a novice.The main god player who appeared in the last chapter is Gong.
