Chapter 13 Escape from the Haunted House (End)(1/2)

This is the fourth time that Lu Yuan has heard this "beep" sound after entering this dungeon.

I don't know where this sound came from, it suddenly appeared in his ears without any signs, and after a flash, it would not cause anything. So much so that Lu Yuan had already selected to ignore the sound.

And just as the moment of death, the sound appeared again.

So what exactly does this "beep" sound mean?

Lu Yuan leaned against the wall and thought. In front of him, the terrifying female corpse floated towards him little by little. Behind her, another monster was crawling towards him in a "spider crawling". At this moment, it was covered with bloody holes, and every action prompted it to flow out thick black blood, exuding an unbearable pungent smell.

As the two of them approached little by little, Lu Yuan's health was also constantly passing.

7%;

5%;

The crawling fellow villager had already approached Lu Yuan's face, and the tip of his nose almost touched his face. Lu Yuan's expression did not change much. He was just quiet and continued to understand the inexplicable voice.

3%;

The female corpse also arrived slowly, and ten fingers stretched to Lu Yuan's head were a few inches away, so she could penetrate straight through the skull.

Just then!

A sudden "click" sound!

Lu Yuan's expression suddenly became stunned for a moment. Everything in this dungeon, even the strange "beeping sound", seemed to be quickly connected together because of this strange light sound.

This sound is hard to describe. It is a complex and short sound that combines plastic impact, spring extension, electronic parts operation, and other elements together.

However, although it is very complicated, as long as you have heard of him, you will instantly know what this voice represents.

Because this "click" sound only appears when answering the phone. It means that someone picked up the microphone on the other side of the phone.

And with this light sound, a man's voice came out of thin air in Lu Yuan's ears.

"Hello, this is the police station"

This was a very strange feeling. The terrifying monster in front of him was about to swallow him alive, but in his ears, a series of calls that were completely inconsistent with the situation. Hearing that, the person talking to the other side was still an operator reporting the case.

This absurd scene has probably made most players confused, but Lu Yuan's mouth slightly raised.

At this moment, his health had reached 1%, which was at the critical point of death. At the same time, the female corpse's ten spasm fingers had been pressed on Lu Yuan's forehead, and the cold coldness penetrated the bones, almost frozen Lu Yuan's brain into a lump of ice.

At this critical moment, Lu Yuan was not panicked at all. He directly interrupted the voice in his ear and shouted, "I! I! Head!"

Well, no one knows why he shouted these inexplicable words at this time, but he just pulled his neck and shouted. What's even more amazing is that just as the moment these words blurted out, a violent dizziness suddenly rushed into Lu Yuan's mind.

Everything around became like ink stirred together, and the scenery in front of him disappeared, and what rushed into his ears was howling traffic and noisy noise.

"Wow"

Before Lu Yuan could recover, he felt a swelling in his stomach, and then a lot of vomit ejaculated out of his mouth.

After that, after a full 10 seconds, Lu Yuan finally saw clearly the situation around him.

At this time, the chill was still there, but the fellow villagers in front of him disappeared, and he was no longer in the old apartment, but was held in a telephone booth on a street corner. As for the dizziness in his mind, it was obvious that it was the reaction after being drunk, and this dizziness was exactly the same as the dizziness at the beginning of the copy.

He lowered his head, and his feet were covered with vomit after drinking, emitting a strong and pungent smell. The smell also smelled the same as the one in the bedroom.

At the edge of sight, a spider was quietly crawling in the corner of the phone booth, slowly tidying up its spider web. Below that was a small advertisement that could be seen everywhere on the street. On the cover, a woman in white dress was secretly sending out autumn waves towards the noisy streets. The traffic behind her drove by, rolling up the night wind, bringing a biting coolness, just like the corpse cold emitted by the female corpse.

Lu Yuan smiled. All of this was indeed as he thought.

As mentioned in the beginning of the copy, he plays a drunk who has just walked out of the bar.

In fact, he was indeed the drunkard who was lying in the corner of the wall and vomiting. He had been wandering on the street, drunk and never left.

There is no haunted house or monster. Everything is just a drunkard who combines the things in his mind with what he sees and hears in front of him, and produces drunken imaginations.

Just like a dream

Of course, if you look at this setting from the perspective of the "game" itself, it is not as simple as "dream". Because there should be two ways to pass the level at the beginning of this copy.

The first is that most players will choose a route to kill the two hostile np using their own combat strength and weapons. After that, the player will find the key to open the apartment on one of the np, and the dungeon will naturally pass the level.

The second type is a completely opposite path. It does not focus on combat and passes through the clearance entirely by decryption. The key point is that under the attack of two fellow villagers, they hold on until the phone is picked up and then say the keywords that they want to "submit themselves".

Only in this way can we get rid of the imagination after drinking and come to a deeper plot.

As for why you shout "submission", it is naturally inferred based on the various clues in the dungeon.

Under Lu Yuan's review, this copy should tell a story like this:

First of all, the player plays an office worker. A few years ago, his wife gave birth to a daughter for him, the one in the photo. At the beginning, life was quite happy. However, his wife's sudden serious illness consumed all the savings in the family in a very short period of time.

After that, the characters played by the player fell into the most feared quagmire of this society, including loans, work, hungry daughters, and seriously ill wife. These things quickly dragged down the protagonist's body and spirit.

Finally, under various pressures, the protagonist collapsed. That day, he quietly left the home and locked the door of the apartment.

The apartment was really old and had no neighbors around him, so his wife and daughter could only be imprisoned and then, just like the ones drawn in the graffiti.

The wife committed suicide in the apartment.

Maybe it was before her death that the wife didn't want her daughter to witness her death, maybe it was because she was afraid that seeing her daughter in front of her would make her unable to seek death. In short, before rushing to death in despair, this mother locked the daughter who was only a few years old in the bedroom.

I don’t know how long it took, the protagonist of the story, for conscience or whatever reason, returned to the apartment. When he opened the door, he saw a suspended corpse, a locked door, bloody scratches inside the door, and a scene of rotten worms and maggots in the bedroom.

All of this was deeply imprinted in his mind.

In the long years since then, although the protagonist escaped sanctions in some way, the scene can never be forgotten. It will appear in his imagination in various ways, such as in dreams, such as after drinking.

Finally, after being drunk again, the protagonist could not bear the condemnation in his heart, so he dragged his drunken body to a telephone booth and called the police station.

In the busy waiting sound of "beep~beep~", the protagonist saw a spider, saw the white-clothed model in the advertisement, heard the noise and screaming on the street, and the bitter cold wind on the road.

All of this was woven into the picture that tortured him without being controlled by the drunkenness.

Lu Yuan held the glass of the phone booth and was still drunk in his mind. He knew that he had never drunk alcohol. This dizziness was just an illusion implanted by the game system in his mind.

However, this feels so real. Looking back now, everything I just experienced in the "drunk" world is so real.

So, do those two fellow villagers really exist?

When Lu Yuan thought of this problem, he couldn't help laughing because they just existed in a drunkard's random thoughts, and this drunkard itself was not considered real.

"Hahaha"

The rise of the corner of his mouth turned into a scrupleless laugh. With the intention of drinking, Lu Yuan lay in the phone booth and vomited. The strong wine mixed with food and sprayed on the glass in front of him, and slowly flowed down in a sticky and nauseous manner. Several passers-by passed by and looked at the drunkard with a disgusting look.

"Hey! Are you real?" Lu Yuan shouted through the glass, scaring passers-by to escape quickly.

And just now, a menu appeared in front of Lu Yuan's eyes.

【Main mission: Leave】

He looked at the word "leave". Now, he finally knew why the task of this copy was so ambiguous, because you were leaving not just that evil house.

Lu Yuan wiped the vomit at the corner of his mouth, turned around, held the glass, and walked out of the telephone booth

Just as his feet stepped out of the phone booth, a check-up was immediately made behind the [Main Task], and at the same time, a voice sounded instantly.

"Congratulations, you have successfully cleared the copy after leaving the phone booth"

"In 10 seconds, you will be teleported"

“10”

"9"

Lu Yuan quietly looked at the traffic in front of him, waiting for the countdown to end.

As the numbers continue to decrease, the scenery in front of them becomes more and more blurred. Gradually, everything disappears, including the drunkenness in Lu Yuan's mind.

He found that he had returned to [personal space], and his image and clothing had all returned to their original state.

"So this is the feeling." Lu Yuan looked at his hands and muttered.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a string of text appearing on the display screen in front of him.

【Congratulations, you have passed the level】

【Perfection reward settlement】

【】

【Your comprehensive evaluation:s】

【Reward Experience Value: 500】

【Reward Money: 60】

"Wow~" Lu Yuan sighed lightly. Although this was his first copy, because he had read the posts online for two days and one night before, he knew very clearly that the reward for a primary ordinary copy usually has an experience value of about 200 points, plus 20 to 30 points of money. The reward he received now is almost twice the reward for normal pass.

This reward is very generous, but it is also worth it. After all, it is not a simple matter to be able to score an S-level rating. Take this dungeon as an example. When a player sees a little monster rushing towards you, his first reaction must be a counterattack. Who would be stupid and let the other party beat him up. While getting beaten, he had to look for clues all over the room.

Of course, it cannot be said that no one has done this before, but those people basically deliberately try to get S-level scores, and Lu Yuan is different, he really can't beat him.

So let’s talk less. After checking these 500 points of experience, an experience bar appeared on the big screen. Seeing that the blue trajectory of experience shown above quickly climbed, directly rushing from 10% of level 1 to the top, reaching level 2, and then fiercely broke through the entire level 2, reaching level 3 to 20%.

Seeing his rocket-like level rise, Lu Yuan couldn't help scratching his head, judging that this feeling was much better than the previous F-level score.

As the level rises, the physical fitness marked by the Lu Yuan on the screen has also increased slightly.

However, in the ‘Ark’, there are no points such as power or speed. Although these attributes also have corresponding values, they cannot be customized at will.
