Chapter 3 Opening the Dungeon, Ghost Ship
Chapter 3 Opening the Dungeon, Ghost Ship
Bai Wan stopped the daily family quarrel when Liu Tong called him. He coughed lightly and introduced himself: "Ahem, my name is Bai Wan, I'm an unemployed vagrant, and my ability is that I can get to Mario's coin house by crawling through the sewer."
Liu Tong: “…Ah?”
Everyone: "???"
The air suddenly became quiet.
God damn Mario.
Have you played too many games?
The abilities of the characters awakened in the weird game are closely related to reality.
No one could imagine how a normal human could awaken this thing.
"Hmm... quite an interesting ability. Maybe this guy used to be a miner or a plumber... right?"
Even the experienced Liu Tong was stunned for several seconds before he racked his brains and tried hard to come up with such an excuse.
Even he himself couldn't imagine how a decent plumber could get into the gold coin house through the sewer...
The atmosphere is still awkward
But the awkward atmosphere didn't last long.
Suddenly, everyone's expression changed.
The same is true for Bai Wan.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat and the temperature around him dropped rapidly.
Gray text appeared before my eyes.
[The weird game officially begins...]
[Game copy: Ghost Cruise]
[As a college student, you have welcomed a pleasant summer vacation. You and your friends are going to Four Seasons Island for vacation. The island is isolated from the world and can only be reached by ship. Therefore, you board the Eagle Night and start a week-long cruise...]
[Main Mission: Survive for a week until you reach shore]
[Number of players: 5]
Bai Wan felt dizzy and the scene around him changed again.
I subconsciously looked around.
Wooden seats and floors, with rooms at the end.
The chandelier in the air trembled slightly, and the sound of flowing water could be heard faintly in the distance.
Although the five of them were still sitting at the table, the surrounding environment had changed.
Now they are on board.
At this moment, everyone looked solemn, even Liu Tong was no exception.
"It's actually the Eagle Night. We're in trouble this time." Liu Tong frowned.
"Hiss... Is that the legendary Eagle Night?" Physical education teacher Zhang Wen couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"What is Eagle Night?" female anchor Lin Xi said with a confused look on her face.
"It was a private British passenger ship in 1999. It was said that the tourists on board were out for a trip, but they were suddenly caught in a fog, and all the people on board mysteriously disappeared. In short, this is a..."
"Ghost ship!" Liu Tong explained.
“Ghost ship…?” Lin Xi turned pale after hearing this.
Physical education teacher Zhang Wen wiped the cold sweat from his head and added, "How come you haven't heard of the Eagle Night? I remember it was very popular on the Internet a few years ago because it was really weird. It was said that when the ship docked, the tea on the ship was still hot and the food was very fresh, but the entire ship was empty. It was really weird. It was as if everyone was having a dinner party in the last second, and then everyone disappeared in the next second."
Liu Tong took a deep breath, stared at the endless mysterious sea outside the window and said: "This copy may be a little difficult. The copy formed by real experience is the most terrifying and the most bizarre... Now we are playing the role of the passengers on the ship in 1999, and we will also experience what they have experienced..."
boom!
Suddenly, lightning struck the sky, illuminating the darkness and the invisible sea in the distance.
When the darkness is dispelled, what emerges is an even more endless darkness in the distance.
On this shaky ship, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
"Time is tight, so let's collect some information about the Eagle Night first. In the copy world, you can't contact the outside world by phone, but you can search for information related to the incident on the Internet. This has been verified in previous games." Liu Tong has already experienced two rounds of games, so he is very experienced.
"Brother Liu is right. We must understand the cause and process of the incident in detail. Only in this way can we have a chance of survival." Zhang Wen agreed.
At this time Chen Weiyu suddenly spoke.
"A diary. If I remember correctly, the police found a diary on the ship."
"Yes, I remember I read it at that time. I remember the content was very ridiculous. I almost couldn't sleep at night after reading it." Zhang Wen immediately used his mobile phone to Baidu. "Can the strange world be connected to the Internet?" Bai Wan came over curiously.
"You can only search for content related to the copy, which means the system has filtered out the content for you to see. You can't search for anything else. This diary is the relevant background, so it can definitely be searched." Liu Tong explained.
"Don't even think about posting messages. Any content revealed in any way will cost Gui coins according to its importance. If you want to pass on information about the clearance, even a few words will cost a huge amount of Gui coins. We can't afford it."
"It also costs a huge amount of Ghost Coins to reveal our players' appearances. This should be a protection for us."
After listening to this, Bai Wan nodded thoughtfully.
After a while, Zhang Wen found it.
"Yes, come and see."
Everyone came over, and Bai Wan also looked at Zhang Wen's phone.
The page shows a tattered notebook. The handwriting on it was neat at first, but became increasingly messy, and in the end it was even indistinguishable. It seemed that the owner of the diary did not write in human language. There was a hint of evil in the handwriting, as if it came from a mysterious and unknowable world.
……
1999/ 6/ 10
[It’s a rare holiday, I’m very happy to travel with Annie. It’s my first time on a boat, I don’t know if I’ll get seasick, but I’m looking forward to the Four Seasons Island. It’s said that the climate there is like spring all year round. I’ve always wanted to visit the island, and now I finally have the chance. Although I brought my holiday homework this time, I don’t think I can do it. Annie thinks so too...]
The owner of the diary seems to be a girl who is on a vacation trip with her best friend named Anne.
The early diaries only recorded some interesting travel stories, nothing noteworthy.
But starting from the third day, the contents of the diary began to become strange.
1999/ 6/ 12
[Annie seemed a little listless today, so I went to ask her what was wrong. She said there were always people walking outside last night, which caused her to not sleep well at night. I thought it was other tourists who were relaxing in the middle of the night, so I didn’t take it seriously. But the next day, Annie heard footsteps again. Annie was always prone to insomnia, and this made it even more difficult for her to fall asleep.
Annie is my best friend, and I wanted to help her, so I went to tell tourists to walk quietly at night, otherwise it would easily disturb others' sleep. But strangely, those tourists said that they did not go out for a walk at night. What's going on? I think it might be that Annie was confused in her sleep. ]
……
1999/ 6/ 14
[So sad, so worried, Annie suddenly disappeared on the boat. We were saying goodnight to each other last night before going to bed, how come she disappeared in the morning? I and the enthusiastic tourists searched the entire boat, but there was no trace of her. A good person just disappeared out of thin air. I suddenly remembered the footsteps that Annie said before she disappeared.
Could there be bad guys on this ship? Now everyone has lost interest in traveling and only feels panic spreading.]
……
1999/ 6/ 15
[Impossible, impossible! Who is playing tricks on the boat? I woke up in the middle of the night yesterday and heard footsteps outside the door, but when I opened the door, there was no one there. Who is it? Who is it?! ]
……
Next, the girl's spirit seemed to be hit. Her handwriting became more and more sloppy, and the crooked handwriting looked like a child's graffiti. There seemed to be fear and struggle hidden behind each word.
1999/ 6/ 16
[Disappeared, someone disappeared again!! They are all gone, all gone!!
It will be my turn soon! It will be my turn soon!!
Don't make any noise, don't make any noise! Pretend to sleep! Pretend to sleep!!
Save me, someone save me! ! Anyone. Anyone will do.
No, it's coming in! There's no escape! There's no escape!
It's impossible for anyone to leave!
……
In the second half of the diary, there are some completely incomprehensible words, as if they do not belong to the human world.
They could only understand the last two lines.
Looking at the time, it was an hour before they went ashore.
These were also the last words left by the girl.
After watching it, Liu Tong and others couldn't help but tremble, feel a chill in their hearts, and feel inexplicably uneasy.
With every page I turned, my heartbeat quickened and the sense of terror grew heavier.
In the darkness, something seemed to be approaching slowly.
At this moment, the temperature of the entire ship seemed to become even colder, and the chandelier above began to flicker.
[It’s true, it’s true! We saw it…saw it…saw it…saw it, saw it, saw it…]
Densely packed "I saw"s piled up on the diary, twisted and seemed to crawl out through the screen. The paper was wrinkled and dark red, as if stained by some liquid.
At this moment, the girl's madness seemed to spread in the room through the font. Written under extreme psychological pressure, every word was full of distortion and madness.
At the end of many "saws", there is a sentence like this.
[We saw it…we saw it…we saw it…we saw it…… ...
Sometimes the fourth chapter is under review! It will come out in a few hours or the next day!
