Chapter 95 1 Dead at the Start(1/2)
They stayed on this inconspicuous platform. There were no players gathering on the beach now. Everyone received new mission panels and had no intention of communicating their own ideas.
"But when we come to Pohnpei Island, it seems that it is not just the island closest to Lalaire. The game operation team will let the portal throw us here first, so there must be some other reasons." Xu Bai said.
Liston nodded with a deep sense of agreement and said, "That's true, it's just Cthulhu's heraldic emblem... According to the main mission introduction, it must be some kind of prop. I guess the heraldic emblem is probably in Lalaye. Now the mission prompts our countdown is more like a time to prepare for players."
"Even if it has been teleported to Pohnpei Island, you can use the friend system to communicate. You can open the game mall to purchase props. Including the countdown of Lalaye's arrival on the mission panel, logically speaking, gathering players on this small island is very similar to letting everyone communicate with each other and prepare for war." Zhao Qingtian said.
Xu Bai, who was wearing Xiu Ges sunglasses, held the frame, but he didn't think so.
Previously, I followed Deacon Li and the others to assassinate the bishop of the Hub, and found records about the curse array at the home of the Hub Bishop.
Among them, Ponape Island is the offering selected by the curse array. In the records of the Bishop of the Hub, this island clearly points out that there are a large number of sleeping deep divers hidden.
So is it used to gather players in such a ghost place to prepare for war and communicate?
Xu Bai analyzed: "The game will not make unnecessary arrangements. If it is to prepare for the battle, it can prepare for the battle anytime and anywhere, and there is no need to pull the players to this island in advance."
Besides, he is one of the few secrets that this island of Ponape is about to be sacrificed.
Standing on the island that is about to be sacrificed, there is also an inexplicable sense of excitement.
This seemingly quiet island is wrapped in the center of a surging wave. The monsters dormant in the deep sea will not let go of any player who is relaxed and alert.
Before they could continue to discuss, someone suddenly ran out of the beach and shouted: "A player is dead! It's on the shore there!"
The man pointed at a huge shore not far from the east, with a huge rocky ridge.
Most of the players nowadays are observing in secret near the beach, and no one will really go deep into the island, so shouting on the beach can be clearly heard by most people.
"Someone died?" Zhao Qingtian said in shock.
"The players who can be here are all level 20, why did they die so suddenly?" The uncle also felt confused.
"There is not far away. We have obviously not seen any strange creatures appear. How could a person be silent before he dies?"
People around the beach also kept gathering in places where something happened. This time someone used his life to break this estrangement situation.
Originally, players were afraid of each other and wary of each other, but after some unexpected event occurred, this sense of resistance would weaken instantly.
"Go and have a look."
Xu Bai said as he walked: "It's not certain that the qualified player must have died. Maybe there are other people here?"
More than 10 people gathered in the direction of the accident. Xu Bai saw many acquaintances, who were unique in the world, and spring, and a different path were also ahead.
Soon, they all arrived at the target, and the body was surrounded by more than a dozen players. After Xu Bai and the others came forward to confirm, they found that the one who had indeed died was a qualified player they had seen.
The player's body was blue and white, his skin was mixed with large areas of bruises, and paleness caused by low temperatures. His body was already stiff, and his eyes, which had not been closed, stared at the gray misty sky.
It seemed as if he didn't even expect that he would die like this, his eyes seemed to be questioning the world and dying with his eyes open.
It seems that he is a boy in his 20s. He is wearing various protective props and has no obvious trauma on his body, but his heartbeat and breathing have stopped.
"I know this person... His game nickname is Jason, I have teamed up with him once for a dungeon." A tall man next to him spoke.
After saying that, someone quickly opened the game ranking interface and found clues.
Someone immediately said: "I just checked the ranking list. Jason, the player ranked 19, has been marked with a dead one next to the game's nickname!"
The qualified player is really dead!
Everyone fell into silence now, and this strange atmosphere was more unacceptable than the dungeon.
It took human life silently and happened nearby.
Even if you experience all kinds of indescribable and deaths in the dungeon, you can at least comfort yourself. This is just in the dungeon, even if the dungeon dies, it will be fine in the real world.
But in the real world, if you don’t even understand anything, another qualified player has died, and there is no system report, and you will die without warning. This strange sense of crisis is spreading in the hearts of all players.
Liston walked up at this time, and he asked to the man who first discovered the deceased: "When did you discover the deceased?"
"Just just now... when I passed by this place, I saw someone lying on a huge rock. When I walked in, I found that his face had turned pale... His eyes were almost protruding." The man replied truthfully.
After saying that, he subconsciously took two steps back.
"I am a doctor, I can try to check the cause of his death." Liston said. He did not dislike the dead, and went forward and squatted down to dismantle Jason's clothes.
After fully exposing the deceased's upper body, the first thing everyone noticed was a strange disc lying on Jason's chest.
Skipping past the blue-black and white skin, it looked like various internal bleeding and tissue necrosis, but Jason's abnormality was far less attractive than that of the disc.
The extremely perfect disc created in front of me is like a precise geometric formula to draw several circular textures. It is imprinted on this green ore that is not as if it is derived from the earth. It also has an inexplicable sense of mystery when superimposed on each other.
Around the circular arc, the surroundings are carved with indescribable shapes and ‘texts’, perhaps texts, but more like marks or symbols.
The most direct performance appears when players see this thing.
His eyes were radiating, hot, curious and surprised, and all kinds of eyes gathered on this fist-sized disc, all of which were staring at him.
【Cthulhu’s heraldic emblem】
[Main mission props: Can be traded, not stored in the game backpack]
[This prop can purify the miasma in the city of Lalaye, and the holder will become the caller of the city of Lalaye.]
[Tip: Only the ‘Callee’ can enter the city of Lalaye without being invaded by strong spirituality.
If you enter Lalaye City without holding this prop, the operation team wishes players good health and all the best.]
"This is the main mission prop!"
Many people did not expect that Cthulhu's heraldry would appear here.
Originally, the name of the copy that Lalaye arrived had already made players mistakenly believe that this copy mission would be carried out before it could be carried out.
No one took the Cthulhu emblem that appeared in front of everyone, and even Liston, who was closest to the prop, did not take action.
If you saw it alone, you would definitely sneak in your pocket. But now you put it away in front of everyone. Even if others have no objections, this means that the information you hold the seal will be exposed.
Dubu Tianxia saw several players thinking about it at this time, and he immediately stood up.
At the same time, he also met Xu Bai in the crowd, but he didn't say anything, but said to the others: "Don't think about who should divide this emblem. The explanation on this prop is very clear. Being a 'song' is to screen again from the qualified players."
"But it is impossible for the island to have such an emblem now. There must be other emblems. Our focus now is to know how Jason died, where he got his emblem, and even... did the emblem kill him?"
His aura is not as majestic as a big boss. Even if he is a qualified player, he is an old fry who has experienced many dungeons.
With just a few words, he couldn't calm the scene. He simply took out his pistol and held it in his hand. He took out his ID from the collar with his other hand and said:
"I am the official old game investigator of China. The game nickname is the world's only one. My current position is the commander-in-chief appointed by the provincial department. Please don't think about doing things to your companions. Our current common enemy is the entire old game."
"What we need is cooperation, complete tasks, understand the truth, and relieve this disaster for mankind!"
Now the players who were ready to move just now also gave up their thoughts. Dubu Tianxia just now did give players too much hostility and resistance.
But after seeing the ID and description, players admire and agree more, which is a respect for the official investigator of the profession.
Except for the obvious few guys standing far away watching the show, Yilu and two men in black robe, they were obviously indifferent to it, and even Yilu only planned to leave this position after discovering the heraldry.
"Even if Lalaye has not arrived yet, the game operation summoned us here, it is impossible for us to just rest, get to know each other and prepare for each other. The main task has already come out, and the countdown for Lalaye's arrival is more like the countdown for this main task." Chun said silently in a soft voice in a crowd.
"It has been confirmed that the countdown to the arrival of Lalaye is to test whether we can obtain the Cthulhu's emblem within the deadline and become the "summoner" to enter Lalaye safely. Otherwise, just waiting for Lalaye to appear will be just waiting for death."
"This global copy did not start until Lalaire arrived, but now, at the moment the portal came, perhaps it was already in progress."
Liston has put the Cthulhu emblem next to it, "The upper body has no trace of trauma. At least it can cause people to die instantly, without making excessive noises, and it can only be on the upper body."
After saying that, he began to snatch Jason's pants. After a long time of examination, he did not find any trauma.
Jason had no wounds on his body, which made everyone puzzled.
"The way to die is so strange. There are bruises in all parts of the body, and internal bleeding is very serious. The most serious is the position at the bottom of the back of the head. Everyone knows that the closest organ is the pituitary gland that is mutated and proliferated in the brain when becoming an alpha-level player. It is used to suppress a large amount of emotions and slow down things that deduct rational values."
As he said that, Liston pressed his fingers against the blackness under the back of his head.
While stroking, his expression began to become solemn.
"Broken... His pituitary gland should have ruptured from the inside. I have never practiced destroying this mutated organ. Can it lead to death? But his pituitary gland has ruptured inside and has heavy bleeding."
"It may be that the suppressed emotions inside are uncontrollably released due to the damage of the organs, affecting other nerves in the body, the explosion of pheromones and the inability to bear excessive information in the brain, which makes his body 'self-destruction' in the body, and ultimately resulting in death."
He stood up and said seriously: "The conclusion I gave is probably like this, because even the back of the head is not trauma, it can only prove that his mutated pituitary gland is self-destructive, not physically destroyed."
"The organ that carries a lot of information and emotions has destroyed itself?" Someone was shocked by this!
"Maybe I saw something and learned some incomprehensible and unbearable information, so the organ has exceeded the load it bears, and it is possible to explode itself." Liston said: "The information is limited now, and the above situation is just my guess."
Dubu Tianxia's face was heavy. Originally, this global copy had a dark box forest before it even started.
Now I have lost another teammate at the beginning, which is a big blow to their player team.
"This island is indeed not safe at all. There are still 3 days and 15 hours before Lalaire arrives. We should act in groups during this period. Of course... we will not force ourselves to act. In order to prevent ourselves from dying for no reason, those who are willing to act in a team can organize first."
He looked at the island without insects, birds and beasts crying, "Jason should have found heralds on the island. We try to find them as many as possible. The goal is that before Lalaire arrives, everyone can obtain the heralds."
"When there are no heralds at that time, Jason's piece can be used as the final distribution. Now it is temporarily stored on my side. I guarantee that I will never embezzle the heralds in the name of the official national investigator. Even if I have not found any heralds, I will definitely put this herald in the assigned position at the end."
No one expressed any opinions on this guarantee, and even most players trust Dubuxia.
The remaining few players actually left before they analyzed the results, or they did not come to check Jason's death at all.
Crazy-
The waves on the coast were uneasy, and Xu Bai, led Zhao Qingtian and the prisoners to retreat into the crowd.
