TMFSRHH - 19


Chapter 19


Compared with the spaciousness of the reading hall outside, the room in front of them is only one-third the size of the outer room. There is only one light source in the entire space, which is shining directly on the only desk, pointing directly at the brown scroll on the table.

"The scroll is over there!" Shen Weiyue saw the target object at a glance and walked over excitedly, reaching out to take it.

"Don't move!" Qi Yan urged to dissuade her, "Didn't you hear the title of this level, Cursed Scroll!"

Shen Weiyue retracted her hand nonchalantly, looking embarrassed.

[As much as you want to show off, I’m really getting annoyed with this person]

[Me too, now it seems that the one who always wants to be in the limelight is clearly her. Before, she had all kinds of rhythmic connotations, Gu Xiaoxiao]

[That’s why we say she is Black Heart Lotus, no doubt a femme fatale]

"I only completed a side mission before starting the main mission. Even such an important prop as a scroll is placed there openly. What on earth are you going to do?" Lin Yao was a little irritated.

He thought the game had rules to follow, but the reality is that every level is different. If the entire game were recorded, he would have to lose his skin even if he didn't die.

This is not at the same level as the novelty and excitement that the agent said at the beginning. This place is simply a man-eating devil's cave!

"There is a mission card next to the scroll. You will know if you take a look."

After Jin Sui'an finished speaking, he looked at Qi Yan, "You should be able to open it, right?"

"According to previous rules, the mission card is safe."

Jin Sui'an looked at Shen Weiyue: "Take it, I think you have been waiting for a long time."

Shen Weiyue glanced at him, opened the mission card and read: "As soon as the scroll is opened, evil spirits will be summoned, and no one will survive. The evil spirit is born from the scroll, and also dies because of the scroll. If you want to pass this level, you will live towards death." "

As soon as she finished speaking, the door that had been open suddenly closed without warning and was automatically locked.

Everyone looked at the door in horror.

"Okay, there is no way out now." Lin Yao looked helplessly at the only exit.

"There are too few clues in this level. We currently know that when the scroll is opened, NPCs will be dispatched. The number and degree of terror are unknown. If the scroll is not moved, the house will be surrounded by walls. There are no other clues. How are we going to live like this?"

Shen Weiyue was filled with irritation. If she had known that this show was so torturous, she wouldn't have come here just for the sake of gimmicks.

Qi Yan took the mission card, read the content again, and analyzed: "The scroll is our only clue, we have to open it. The last sentence says 'If you want to pass this level, live towards death', which means when you encounter a crisis can you solve the mystery.”

"Isn't this putting us in danger?" Lin Yao looked angrily.

Jin Sui'an: "After going through so many levels, haven't you figured out how the show team plays the game? They just want to see us being tortured. The more demanding the conditions are, the more the audience will look forward to it. Entertainment comes first."

[The truth is, I think so too, entertainment comes first]

[Hahaha, I just want to see them survive the desperate situation or be wiped out]

"Damn it!" Lin Yao cursed angrily, "Does that mean the scroll must be opened?"

Qi Yan: "That's the theory."

"Is it possible that the task card for this level is actually misleading? Just like the level for candidates, the clues clearly point to the exam, but the score is not a condition for passing the level. Time spent on finding the correct answer is wasted."

Lin Yao's words made everyone shake.

Jin Sui'an echoed: "It's possible. The words on the mission card have two meanings. When you open the scroll, there will be no survivors. If you want to pass the level, you have to live towards death. Doesn't this mean that you will die anyway? In this case, why are you still struggling?”

[To be honest, this task card is really speechless. If you say it, it means you haven’t said it yet. It’s just a mystery.]

[To put it bluntly, I just want to torment people. According to the above tips, if you can't open the scroll, you will die. And according to the urine of the show crew, they will never be forced to lie down.]

[I also feel that lying down is useless. The program team must have back-up moves, and they are fatal.]

"Hey, what do you think?" Lin Yao looked at Gu Xiaoxiao who had been silent from the air.

"Why are you asking me?" Gu Xiaoxiao wondered. She had already decided to be transparent, so why did he suddenly cue someone.

These words choked Lin Yao. The reason why he asked her was entirely because Qi Yan, who had always acted as a think tank, began to feel unconfident. Except for Gu Xiaoxiao, who had extensive experience in customs clearance, other people's suggestions were really useless.

But if he told the truth, it would be equivalent to elevating Gu Xiaoxiao's status in the team and encouraging her arrogance. But if he didn't answer like this, it would appear that his behavior was ingratiating.

Ahhh! ! ! Why on earth are you asking her?

"I just asked casually, forget it if you don't want to answer!" Lin Yao began to give up on himself.

"Hey, are you asking for help?" Yue Xinran was very unhappy with Lin Yao's attitude towards Gu Xiaoxiao.

"I begged her? Ha!" Lin Yao was so angry that he put his hands on his hips and glared at Yue Xinran with an angry expression.

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight over her again, Gu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to continue: "I don't care whether I can open the scroll or not. It's just a new batch of NPCs to scare people. As long as the show is still being recorded, the tasks must be completed one by one. Don't hesitate. On the contrary, it will deepen everyone's fear. I have said before that this is just a game, and whoever takes it seriously will lose."

Shen Weiyue: "That's easy to say, but when you encounter an NPC, no one except a heartless person will be able to calm down. Look at us being frightened to the point of screaming, and we don't know how to laugh at them."

[Does Shen Weiyue suffer from delusions of persecution? Who among the people present has not been frightened by NPC? She is the only one who has the most drama]

[That is, even though she is timid, she still doesn’t want others to be better than her]

[This woman is so good]

"I'm not laughing at it, I just feel it's a pity. If you can face it and firmly believe that NPCs are actors, you won't be led to the rhythm."

If this were said at the beginning of the show, everyone would definitely think that Gu Xiaoxiao was too self-righteous.

But after several rounds of fright, everyone saw her calmness and detachment, and these words fell into everyone's ears with real regret.

It makes people feel ashamed but also gives them a little more admiration.

Especially compared to Shen Weiyue, a person who has no strength but loves to show off her presence, Gu Xiaoxiao appears more and more to be neither arrogant nor impetuous, free and easy-going.

[I must howl: The black man mistaken me! Gu Xiaoxiao is obviously very straightforward, why does she always like to be smeared by uneasy and well-meaning people]

[After going through so many levels, it’s clear who’s strength is, and you have to be brave to challenge such a realistic NPC.]

[That is, Heizi is really the most annoying existence in the world. If there are really ghosts in the world, please take them all away]

[I second the motion! ! ! ! ! !]

Gu Xiaoxiao's answer made Shen Weiyue feel as helpless as punching cotton.

She is so eager to win the guest's favor, isn't it because she has made up her mind to go to the end with her? Very good, when the show is over, she will definitely pay liquidated damages!

If Shen Weiyue knew that after the show was finished, Gu Xiaoxiao would be able to support all the expenses of this show just by giving rewards, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood. Of course, this is a story for another day.

Just as she was about to reply, the noisy broadcast sounded again: "If the player does not open the scroll within one minute, a random mission will be triggered. The number and risk factor are not limited. The countdown begins, beep--"

The empty corridor suddenly sounded the sound of a clock ticking, long and dull, constantly arousing everyone's nervousness.

[I just said that the program team will not let them go easily. Random missions are much more uncertain than main missions. In addition, there is no limit to the number of dangerous tasks. It is obvious that they will push people to death!]

[Damn, it’s getting more and more exciting, this show is really amazing]

[Hurry up, hurry up (Hand-rubbing acceleration JPG.)]

"Ah!!!! If you don't want to let anyone live, you have to open the scroll if you don't want to." Yue Xinran looked hopeless.

"It's impossible to lie down flat, get up and have fun!" Lin Yao smiled and looked at Jin Sui'an with teasing eyes.

"The program team is really ruthless. Compared with the unpredictable random tasks, the few clues in the scroll are very valuable." Jin Sui'an was unable to complain.

"Since there is no choice, let's open it." Qi Yan looked at the scroll and analyzed: "Since the chance of life and death are both in it, it means that the answer is also in the scroll. It is better for two people to cooperate, one is responsible for opening, and the other is responsible for scanning the content quickly for clues.”

"I have a photographic memory, and I am responsible for reading the content." Shen Weiyue volunteered, but she did not believe that she could not compete with Gu Xiaoxiao.

"Then let me turn the scroll. This time is the most urgent, which means the danger is doubled. It is best for everyone to be mentally prepared." Qi Yan looked around at everyone with solemn eyes.

"Don't worry, no matter what danger we encounter, we will carry it on until you find the answer." Jin Sui'an cast a firm look at Qi Yan.

Lin Yao also said: "There will be no problem with the four of us. Just concentrate on doing your own thing."

Qi Yan nodded, then looked at Shen Weiyue and warned: "Don't be nervous or panic while watching. If there is really danger, everything should be done to protect yourself. This is just a game."

"Okay." Shen Weiyue said yes, but she was unconvinced in her heart. She is not that weak and must prove it.

Qi Yan and Shen Weiyue walked to the desk and stood side by side.

When his hand touched the scroll, the overhead light began to flicker, and the swaying dead branches outside the window swayed in the wind. The branches pulled the window, making a "squeaking" sound, and everyone subconsciously looked out the window.

A woman with a pale face and a ferocious face was lying on the window, scratching the window with sharp nails. When the people in the room looked at her, she did not forget to smile strangely at them, and then disappeared in a flash.

Yue Xinran was so frightened that she hid behind Gu Xiaoxiao, her body shaking non-stop.

Shen Weiyue asked Qi Yan with a trembling voice: "Have you seen it?"

Both of them were attracted by the sound outside the window at the same time. What she saw, Qi Yan also saw. He said calmly: "Don't panic, it's all fake. Don't be led away."

Shen Weiyue bit her lip and nodded, returning her attention to the scroll in front of her, taking a deep breath and saying, "I'm ready, let's get started."

Qi Yan's hand on the scroll unconsciously tightened, and after exhaling deeply from the bottom of his heart, he slowly opened it.
