MTL - Half Immortal-Chapter 92 Golem Castle (5)
The moment she saw this familiar face, Yan Wei only felt a chill on her back. Not far away, those players who had learned how to break the game with Yan Wei were getting closer and closer, and they even brought crows flying from several places around the castle. The crows croaked more and more, and the hoarse cry seemed to come from the abyss.
There are a lot of figures, he is standing in front of the castle gate, he can't see the puppets in the back, but he can also see another slightly familiar figure, most likely he just loaded the dungeon The ordinary player who died in front of him.
He said softly to Yan Mingguang with a dignified expression: "There are people I met when I was in the labyrinth, and they were eaten by crows."
Yan Mingguang had run all the way to look for Yan Wei before, and he saw more cases than Yan Wei. He said, "I also saw some on my way."
What you see here naturally does not refer to those players who are still alive.
"So this is the purpose of the maze..."
The puppet castle, the focus is not on the castle, but on the puppet.
The maze is just a screening tool, allowing players to target each other without knowing it, sending other slightly weaker players alive to the crows. The way the owner of this castle made the puppets, the people who died in the labyrinth, all turned into these stern puppets in front of them.
Dead people will become puppets, and will become people on the side of the castle npc.
Even though Yan Wei had always been confident in himself, his heart sank when he thought of this critical moment.
In the past dungeons, what players like them had to do was to survive and find the ladder. As for other unrelated players, if they die, they will die. At most, there are fewer teammates who can help each other find clues. Even for those who have grievances, it is a good thing to die for the enemy.
But now, one player dies, one more puppet—the difference is doubled.
The castle still emits a warm yellow light. On both sides of the open castle gate, the players who have turned into puppets are standing on both sides with expressionless faces. The hoarse and low voice from before came again: "Please come in."
Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang looked at each other, Yan Mingguang took the lead and walked in with Yan Wei.
The terrain inside the castle is very complicated. As soon as the two entered, there was a path full of towering trees on both sides, surrounded by some small western-style buildings, and further inside, it was the main body of the castle.
The first floor is a spacious hall flanked by intricate staircases. It can be seen that there should be many rooms up these stairs, and the terrain must be very complicated. Although the style of the castle is very old, the light inside the castle is emitted by delicate electric lamps. At the top of the hall is a large retro clock, which is also connected to the power supply. There is also a display screen attached to the clock, showing the current time.
Except for the puppets and the things in the castle, there was no one in front of Yan Wei and the others.
The voice didn't say anything. Obviously, it was useless for the two of them to arrive. I'm afraid they won't know what will happen after the maze is completely over at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang just took this opportunity to rest for a while. Not long after, Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou also arrived.
The waning moon on the sky is gradually shifting, and more and more players arrive at the castle. Some of them saw the method of self-injury from Yan Wei and others' cracking methods, and some of them used players to pave the way.
Without exception, when these people saw the puppets on both sides, they all showed more or less horrified expressions.
The man who breaks the game.
Yan Wei didn't bother to care about the eyes of these people, just looked at everything in front of him carefully, and kept everything about the castle in his heart.
"Boom-"
There was a sudden sound from the big bell hanging directly above, and the people present were a little dizzy for a moment.
—It's twelve midnight.
Yan Wei received a notification that he had entered an immortal state.
The puppets standing on both sides moved again and slowly closed the castle door. There were screams and screams from outside the castle—those were the players who had not had time to reach the castle before twelve o'clock. As mentioned in the background introduction when cutting into the dungeon, those who do not arrive will be devoured by crows.
When the gate of the castle was completely closed, the voices outside gradually quieted down, leaving only the faint crows. The surrounding puppets suddenly increased, and the players who had just died outside turned into puppets in an instant.
On the stairs directly in front, a man in a black robe who could not see his face at all walked down slowly.
All players watched at this moment.
At the same time, the sound of the building sounded at this moment.
[Congratulations to the player for successfully coming to the puppet castle, this competitive dungeon "Puppet Castle" officially starts, and the ranking table begins to calculate, ranking by organization. Players who came in because of the failure of the casino, if they belong to an organization, the score will also be included in the score of the organization. If there is no affiliated organization, it will be automatically grouped into a team. If it successfully survives out of the dungeon, it will be counted as a new organization established. ]
Before he finished speaking, an additional option appeared on everyone’s information panel—View Ranking.
If you click on it, a score table listing the names of all organizations will pop up, with Xuanniao, Qixingxing, Yuemang, Broken sickle, etc. written on it... And the scores behind all organizations are initial zero.
The man in black robe finally walked in front of the players.
He bent down slightly, held hands and bowed to everyone in a very gentlemanly manner, and said solemnly: "Welcome guests to my castle to play games."
The man in black robe straightened up, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers.
The next moment, seven coins suspended in the air suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Take your coins, seven coins each," said the black-robed man. "This game lasts up to seven days, and everyone's initial stack is seven coins."
He spread his hands, swept over the puppets standing not far away, and said: "These coins can catch my puppets, as long as you can successfully hit the coins on them, you can catch them Hold it, give me the puppet you caught, and you'll get a point in this game."
"Every day, my puppets are walking around the castle - guests be careful... Of course, you can also find a chance to catch them with coins. But guests need to be careful, I do The puppets are divided into good puppets and evil puppets, good puppets can be caught, and evil puppets…”
The man in black robe grinned, his hoarse voice more harsh than the crow's cry.
"If you catch the wrong puppet, or let the puppet catch you, you will join them too."
Yan Wei raised her eyebrows.
This means...not only the dead player will become a puppet, but the wrong puppet will also be assimilated. Players not only have to distinguish the classification of puppets, but also need to avoid the hunting of evil puppets.
When everyone had collected their coins, the man in black robe raised his hand and clapped.
The next moment, the lights were lit under everyone's feet, and a number was lit under everyone's feet.
"Why are you so embarrassed? The guests and my children are fair, they will camouflage, and the guests have extra help. The whole castle floor is made of light panels, you guys The numbers under your feet are the number of puppets within a range of 300 meters, centered on yourself, this is the only help I can provide the guests - after all, the game is only fun when everyone is fair."
"The second floor is the guest's room, and the guest can live freely."
Your puppet."
"Within seven days, guests can use the gold coins you got to exchange with me, and open the castle gate with the exchanged puppets and leave. As for what you see after opening the gate...not necessarily already."
"There is no puppet from my side to open the door, you yourself, in these seven days, can not go out. This is my great paradise, guests, what you see, all My great masterpiece, the most authentic puppet in the world."
The man in black robe laughed a few times.
He snapped his fingers, and around the player, those numb-faced puppets disappeared instantly.
The man in black robe turned around and walked up the stairs slowly, his hoarse voice getting further and further away: "The game has begun, if the guests want to come to me, I will be at the star-gazing platform on the top floor."
The voice dissipated, and the man in black robe disappeared at the corner of the stairs.
The players did not move for the first time, but looked at each other, and some seemed to be whispering something with props.
Yan Wei went through the words of the black-robed man just now in his mind, slowly dissipating his perception, and connected to the perception of Yan Mingguang and others.
Lin Zhen took the lead: [How do you say? 】
【Do you all understand the rules? To put it simply, there are two types of puppets. Evil puppets are very dangerous. They will kill players and turn players into puppets. Only by catching a good puppet and handing it over to the castle master can you get one point and ten gold coins. The points are used to rank each organization. Gold coins are exchanged from the castle master for their own puppets, and only one puppet can be obtained. Help to open the door before you can open the castle gate and leave. 】
Yu Feizhou: [In other words, no matter what, catching puppets is the most important thing. We not only have to work hard to climb the ranks, but also find the stairs. The hint of the castle owner is already obvious - exchange for the correct puppet to open the door, and outside the door is the stairs to leave. 】
Yan Wei nodded: [Yes, we have to get as high a score as possible while ensuring that the number of puppets will not increase to the point where they can crush the players, and also find out which of these puppets, Open the gate of the castle, the puppet that can appear on the stairs must also have some clues or characteristics. 】
This is a looming balance.
With the passage of time, more and more players will fail to catch the puppet, and more players will become puppets, the difficulty and danger will increase, but the probability that the players who are still alive will catch the puppet will also increase.
Lin Zhen made a "cut", without using his senses to talk at all, he said it directly: "Then let's just use the coins in our hands to catch the puppet."
The numbers under everyone's feet are "0" at the moment when the lights go out.
But the next moment, Yan Wei watched helplessly as the number under his feet changed to "1", and a scream of a player suddenly came from not far away.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”
In the dim light, Yan Wei felt that Yan Mingguang was looking at him.
He murmured in a low voice: "The castle owner has already said that the game... has already started."
