Volume 4: No One Survives in Fantasy High School Chapter 11: Good Samaritans
As I said before, Li Lin is a very courageous person, even a reckless one. He doesn't care about horror or anything else. Everything that makes people disgusted or afraid is part of his sensory stimulation. Of course, this happiness is limited to the game. However, this advanced thinking does give him a lot of advantages.
For example, many games at that time deliberately placed clues in disgusting or logical areas that were different from normal people's thinking. In this regard, Li Lin had a considerable advantage. This advantage made him invincible in his actions - although it also betrayed him in the end.
But in this game, Li Lin felt that every setting he made was very much in line with his own wishes and completely in line with his own pleasure.
Or as the robot said, no AI will ever be really bad to humans, it's just a matter of degree.
But what Li Lin wants to say is that when he thought that dreams were just the real world with a layer of highlights, this world would always give him a considerable degree of surprise. Well, Li Lin personally prefers to call it a surprise, but for others it might be a shock.
After all, not everyone likes bloody things, and not everyone likes to challenge the difficulty. Although Li Lin still thinks this school is normal, now in this nightmare, he still finds some things that are not so normal. Only when the obsession reaches a certain level can it be solidified in the dream, and the posture presented is naturally self-evident.
"Well... maybe it's always normal for places you are familiar with... but it may not be the case outside."
Taking a look at the fleshy tentacles crawling beneath the glorious plaster statue in the dormitory corridor , Li Lin shrugged nonchalantly.
It is impossible for dreams to cover every flower and plant, but they always have a place in nightmares. As appendages, they are naturally distorted and different from the main body. There may be a healthy and radiant well-known part, but the unknown corner is often a dark or ugly organ or something .
Although the dormitory still looks normal in general, it is only limited to places with a large number of people, or places that are often paid attention to, such as the interior of each dormitory, such as the stairs and halls where people often walk.
However, the ceiling, sculptures, decorations and other unnoticed places all looked somewhat disgusting.
The great statues with tentacles all over their bodies, the acid flowing down like the ceiling of the inner cavity of a living thing, and the statues fighting with themselves with crackling sounds, with only the upper body intact but the lower body fighting like crazy, and the playing cards running around holding swords made Li Lin feel a sense of weirdness and magnificence. Especially when he saw the swords opening their eyes and making all kinds of noises, but being stuck in the armor with too strong cognitive ability and unable to move, Li Lin felt this kind of pleasure even more.
He is a person who enjoys other people's misfortunes, but he will never show it in reality. However, when facing these NPCs online, he doesn't have to worry too much. Especially these alienated nightmare mutants here, they don't even have memories and cognition, and can only be imprisoned in this seemingly normal corridor in vain and madly for countless years. Until this place is completely destroyed.
"Well, let's see what those real poor souls go through in this school..."
Li Lin gathered the black mist spreading from his body - the mist seemed to be full of aggression, always wanting to swallow up everything else - shrugged his shoulders, and began to open the door of each dormitory and take a look around.
I have to say that maybe what the teacher and the principal said was true. There was nothing too abnormal in the dormitories of the entire Gaode College. Only a few dormitories that used to have fewer people would have some strange things, but the people here still seemed to be quite rational and not too crazy.
In short, the things here are just ordinary even in nightmares, such as the flying boiling kettle, the screaming fork, the woman flashing in the mirror, and other props that are not threatening and even just make you laugh. To be honest, there is really nothing to pay attention to. The whole dormitory is peaceful, just like a safe place. But when Li Lin walked outside the hall and wanted to go out to take a look, he found that it seemed difficult to find a place to go out.
Not far from the outside of the entire hall, the passage was blocked by a tall and terrifying-looking thorn bush.
The huge plant, or rather it was a plant, had numerous limbs and blood hanging from it. It was moved from nowhere and squatted outside the dormitory, constantly moving and making strange grinding sounds, as if it was eating something.
"How do I make these things..."
Looking at those clusters of flowers, flesh and internal organs, and the thorns of flesh and blood that seemed to be crawling out of the bones like living things, Li Lin pondered for a while and decided to say hello to it.
"Well... can you move aside? I want to see what's behind. I'd be very happy if you could make way. If you need any help, I can do it. Is this kind of communication okay?"
“…”
The sound of the thorn bush chewing flesh and blood suddenly stopped.
As if growing at an accelerated rate, hundreds of eyes quickly emerged from the piece of flesh, all aimed at Li Lin.
Just when Li Lin thought that a battle that was inevitable in all games was about to take place, these strange and tangled-looking thorn bushes swayed, and some terrifying and inexplicable organs seemed to be born from their depths.
"'...Ah...it's you...'"
After a while, a strange sound, a mixture of dozens of voices, rang out from the core of the thorn bush.
"'Li Lin the Purifier... a great man whose name resounds throughout the void... but he is just a mortal who does not understand anything extraordinary... you have finally come to Nightmare? Are you here to join us?'"
"No, I'm just here to look for some clues. Clues about this school."
"'Clues... I have lived here for nearly a hundred years... Apart from a few old friends, there is nothing worth noting...'"
The flesh and thorns moved, as if they were thinking something.
"'But I can help you... Is there somewhere you want to go... I can show you the way...'"
"Oh, thank you very much. I just came to this school today and I don't know anything yet."
There are good people even in the nightmare world .
Looking at the horrible and twisted flesh and blood thorns, Li Lin was overjoyed, and he found its appearance more and more pleasing to the eye.
