Chapter 67 Ancient God Evil Power
"——It's just an event, what the hell is this? This is too bizarre!!"
A female player jumped out of the alley, running at full speed while howling: "I quit, I want to log off and do the questions! I won't participate in this stupid activity anymore!"
More players ran out from the same alley, tumbling and crawling on their hands and feet to escape in the same direction.
Although these players looked awkward when running for their lives... it did not stop them from talking nonsense.
"Don't give up, study girl! Your weekend off without playing games is a waste!"
"I have to go shopping with my girlfriend this afternoon, why don't you guys start the work and I'll come back later?"
"Stop bragging, if you had a girlfriend I would turn around and eat that shit alive!"
"I didn't realize you have such a strong taste, brother..."
"Let me be honest. If this monster doesn't kill us in seconds, I can still eat it."
"Shut up! Damn it! The moment you open your mouth, I'm reminded of something disgusting! Everyone, listen to me. Last time, that idiot Huanling said he thought the Knight Instructor was very handsome..."
"6666 is worthy of being a phantom spirit, a real man who welcomes men head on!"
"Stop it, Lahong is offline, can you guys be more reliable?"
The group of guys ran noisily to the end of the street before stopping. They hid behind the houses and looked back the way they came.
"Fortunately, we didn't chase them. We were able to pull this monster away." Ming Feng Chunpu wiped his sweat and said with lingering fear, "Damn, I thought those level 4 elite monsters in the poisonous swamp were scary enough, but I didn't expect there would be something scarier. It's a violation for this kind of monster to spawn in the town, right?"
The student who was obsessed with studying said sadly, "I'm really not good at this kind of thing. I never watch horror movies, and I'm not interested in any heavy-tasting B-level movies. I really don't want to participate in this activity."
"To be honest, I'm not afraid of strong tastes, but this monster has no solution. It's useless whether I'm afraid or not." Huan Ling spread his hands.
Seeing that both of them were backing off, Ming Feng Chun Pu had no choice but to say, "Hey, hey, more than half of our brothers have been killed by this monster, are you really willing to give up?"
"Willingly!" N players said in unison.
And they all said in unison:
"It's good that we didn't get wiped out, right?"
"That's right. We have recovered all the equipment that was destroyed during the bombing."
"This activity organized by the bastard planner has no good intentions at all. Let's not stay here and do whatever we need to do!"
Ming Feng Chunpu: "..."
Chenmi Xuexi and Huanling were usually in charge of leading the team like Mingfeng Chunpu. Seeing that this guy was speechless due to being blocked by everyone, they felt a little embarrassed. Huanling took the initiative to say, "How about this, since we only have so few people left, why don't we take the team to the Desolate Stronghold to kill monsters first, and wait for Lahong and the others to come online first? Anyway, the transmission CD takes half an hour, so we can just transmit back when Lahong and the others can come online."
Mingfeng Chunpu was silent for a while... and nodded in agreement.
There was no way to disagree. The large group of more than 60 people was wiped out and only more than 20 were left. If they continued to drag the monsters into the alley, this group of people would definitely rebel.
He was so addicted to studying that he didn't want to stay in this weird exile town anymore. He kept urging them, "Go, go, go, hurry up!"
The remnants of the defeated army were walking towards the town center in a noisy manner. They were still some distance away from the spawn point for teleportation when a player ran towards them.
The man waved and greeted from a distance: "Here! Study, Huanling, Mingfeng!"
This iconic loud voice is recognizable to everyone even without looking at the ID - a good friend of Entropy But Not Increase, who had been playing with the Spider's Nest's Gummy Candies with their group for a while.
"Xiaotang?" The one who was obsessed with studying said in surprise.
"It's me, it's me." Tang Jia trotted over to the crowd and said, "Hey, the reduction in numbers on your side is quite significant, right?"
Addicted to studying and others: "..."
Huan Ling thought of something and spoke up, stepping over his studies: "Also? Xiaotang, did you guys also lose a lot of people over there? Did you run into monsters you couldn't defeat?"
"Yes." Tang Jia said frankly, "We were wiped out once before, and it was really troublesome. Let's not talk about this for now. Qingyue asked me to ask you, do you want to work together?"
Phantom: “Huh?”
"Cooperation? Looking for us?" Mingfeng Chunpu said in surprise.
It's no wonder that Mingfeng Chunpu was surprised. After Enbuseng supported Ji Tang to compete for the first place in the territory's reputation, although the two sides did not reach the point of falling out, it was definitely impossible for them to hold hands and have fun together.
"Yes." Tang Jia said.
Ming Feng Chunpu was ready to wait for her to give a reason, but after waiting for a few seconds, Tang Jia didn't say anything...
"Okay." Ming Feng sighed, "Hello, Jiyou, what is the original saying of entropy not increasing?"
"Qingyue said that you have more people on your side, and she is on our side, so it will be beneficial for both of us if we work together." Tang Jia said honestly.
Mingfeng Chunpu and others: "..."
That girl is really confident...
But there is a reason for their confidence...
Mingfeng Chunpu exchanged glances with Huanling and Chenmi Xuexi, and seeing that neither of them objected, he made the decision: "Okay, then how about we meet up?"
Tang Jia didn't seem to worry about being rejected. She waved her hand proudly and said, "Follow me!"
Twenty minutes later, in an open space near the Warrior Guild.
"In other words, the monster you found in the alley near the weapons dealer is a monster that looks like an oversized slug and can attach itself to walls and move at high speed?" En Buzeng said solemnly.
"Damn, this is so disgusting!" Tang Jia couldn't help but interrupt.
"We also feel disgusted... What's even more disgusting is that we can't defeat that monster." The man who was obsessed with studying said haggardly, "Our attacks will penetrate through it, and that monster will bite our people accurately."
"How could it be... How could it be a non-human monster? This shouldn't be possible..." En Bu Zeng was confused at first, but then he seemed to have thought of something and his eyes lit up, "No! This makes sense. If it's not a mutation of the real body but a spiritual body, then it's completely understandable that it's immune to physical attacks!"
"Boss, have you discovered anything?" Seeing this, Mingfeng Chunpu hurriedly asked for advice humbly.
En Bu Zeng pointed to a small wooden house which was less than 30 meters away from the Warrior Guild and could be seen from where they met, and explained the monster that Yang Ying had discovered that "could not be looked at directly".
"F---!" Shenmi Xuexi was completely stunned. "Are you kidding me? Is there any lower limit to this activity? Why don't the idiot planners just bring in Freddy?"
"To be honest, Freddy is much weaker than this 'unlookable' female ghost. He only dares to attack teenagers, and can only deal with one at a time..." Phantom said dimly, "Jason won't be able to do it either. I feel that this female ghost must be at least at the level of Kayako..."
Tang Jia looked at Shen Mi Xue Xue in surprise: "Don't you never watch horror movies? How come you even know about Freddy?"
"I'm watching Infinite Horror." said Shen Xixue.
Entropy does not increase: "..."
She finally understood why Tang Jia was able to hang out with this group of people before...
Mingfeng Chunpu also felt that his two companions were quite embarrassing. After all, it was too embarrassing to quarrel in front of so many outsiders, so he tried to bring the topic back: "So what do you think about this female ghost, En Buzhang?"
Entropy did not increase Chong Mingfeng Chunpu nodded and said solemnly: "I feel that the monsters spawned in this activity should be closely related to the civilian NPCs we brought back from the previous expedition mission."
Mingfeng Chunpu quickly made a gesture of invitation and pushed away the phantom who was trying to talk nonsense.
Entropy is not the kind of person who likes to hide her shortcomings and pretend to be profound, so she immediately shared her speculation...
It has to be said that people with strong self-control and long-term thinking abilities have a common perspective on things. Qin Guan's think tank wrote down the epic mission "The Birth of the Undead Race", and Entropy also recalled the process of the protagonist Morris losing control.
Not only that... She also thought of the pre-task of accepting civilian NPCs, which was a big plot prelude.
"...The expedition we did before, the pre-quest that triggered this dynamic plot was "Brave Jin". According to the plot given by the zombie NPC Raphael, the civilian NPC we received came from a small town called Kamoer. According to the zombie NPC, the environment in this town is very poor and the civilians live a miserable life."
"From the background of the plot, these civilian NPCs abandoned their homes and jobs to escape and join our undead race. Given the rigorous worldview of this game, these civilian NPCs must have quite unfortunate backgrounds."
Entropy does not increase gives his own conclusion: "Exile Town is the birthplace of the undead race. If we look at it from the perspective of a player, there is no doubt that Exile Town should be considered a 'mysterious place'; when the civilians carrying pain come to Exile Town, which is full of mysteries, it is hard not to think of the setting of Exile Town... The townspeople of this place have been wiped out."
"Oh, right - this game has a restraint setting. The 'Awakening of a Terrible Existence' in the event introduction means that the power of an evil god or something has affected Exile Town, corrupting the civilian NPCs and turning them into demons and monsters. Is that how you understand it?" Ming Feng Chunpu suddenly realized, "No wonder this event doesn't allow monsters to be spawned. Spawning monsters is equivalent to attacking civilian NPCs. So we have to find the root of the problem and find the NPCs that are connected to the monsters?"
"That's right." En Buzeng nodded to Ming Feng Chunpu with satisfaction. "We can't attack the monsters we see. We kill them instantly when we encounter them. There's no solution at all. It's very likely that they are not the real monsters. We need to change our thinking and try to find the real monsters."
Ming Feng Chunpu quickly put on an attitude of humility and asking for advice: "Boss, you tell me."
A few minutes later.
Two players who were ready to die appeared in front of the completed bungalow of the Warrior Guild.
"It's incredible that I can win the bid with a probability of 2/39. I guess I'm the one who's not rich enough to win the bid." The man who's addicted to studying said in despair.
"Uh... I'm not usually this dark. I just had bad luck today." Tang Jia said hesitantly with a look of despair on her face.
"What are you two doing? Hurry up!" the teammates across the street urged.
"I know, I know!" The two girls turned around and yelled impatiently, then rushed towards the closed door of the bungalow side by side.
The solution given by Entropy Does Not Increase is very simple and crude - since the NPC is hiding in the house and won't come out, just force your way in.
Only attacking NPCs will bring the risk of being blocked. If you just break into a "private house", there is a high probability that you will be killed, or hung up like the person who broke into the tent... It is not an unbearable price to pay.
Anyway, whether the house where the NPC lives is a wooden house or a bungalow, it is not too difficult to break into...
"Ah——" This is the scream with a broken voice caused by being obsessed with studying.
"Oh shit!" This was Tang Jia's exclamation.
The people who were watching from across the street saw with their own eyes that Chen Chi Xue Xi and Tang Jia ran out of the gate of the bungalow in panic; Chen Chi Xue Xi, who was running in front, escaped successfully, but Tang Jia, who was lagging behind, had just half of his body sticking out of the door when he was pulled back by some force.
All the players in a large group saw the prompt that Gummy had left the team (went offline).
En Bu Zeng praised: "We are lucky. We found the real owner in the first room."
Mingfeng Chunpu & Huanling next to him: "..."
They were a little suspicious whether this woman was a good friend of the jelly candy...
Town Hall.
Yang Qiu picked up the kettle of boiling water on the honeycomb coal stove and added water to the teapot. He personally poured tea for the black-robed inspector sitting opposite him, and refilled his own cup.
During this process, Supervisor Lowell had an indescribable expression on his face, and looked at him with a particularly complicated look...
"Please don't mind, respected Inspector." Yang Qiu blew the hot air rising from the teacup and said with a smile, "This is just a shocking teaching for our undead friends to fully understand the nature of 'power'."
Supervisor Lowell did not respond, but just looked at him deeply.
In response to this, Yang Qiu expressed calmness.
After assimilating the ancient god's tentacles, Yang Qiu gained not only control over the space-time rift leading to the earth captured by the tentacle, but also a trace of the ancient god's evil power.
To become a spellcaster, he had to give up praying to God. He was not worried at all that the ascetics of this prosperous church would mistake him for a heretic...
As for why he, who is not a cultist, can control the evil power of the ancient gods - anyway, Supervisor Lowell will not ask such a rude question, and he will not explain it.
