Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

When John started to do the task, the village chief gave another repair pill and went out. He looked thoughtfully at the player who was energetic just now, but turned around and became sneaky, and remained silent for a long time.

"Village Chief Tucker, my name is Normandy, and I came here specifically to find out about the situation in Mingyue Village."

John took the initiative and approached, and the village leader Tucker also withdrew his gaze after hearing this. He turned his head and looked at John with a daze in his eyes, but after a moment, his eyes returned to a clear look.

He explained the situation of Mingyue Village freely, and then John unlocked the main mission.

[Task name: Maintain railway safety

Mission introduction: Mingyue Village is an important ore collecting place, but it is surrounded by fog. Railway transportation is the only transportation method and the only way out.

Players are requested to eliminate all the demons that invade the railway and maintain this passage to the middle realm.

Mission reward: some experience, some silver coins, and train tickets. 】

Train ticket? What kind of train is it?

Out of curiosity, John politely bid farewell to Village Chief Tucker, and after doing enough etiquette, he carefully examined this unfamiliar term.

[Item name: Train ticket

Item introduction: A ticket that passengers need to show when taking a train. It is also a legal proof of purchase. 】

After reading the introduction, John raised his eyebrows: "There are legal ones, and there should be illegal ones. I just don't know what will happen to the illegal ones."

He noted this down indifferently, and then began his journey to seek death.

However, he was not one of those stupid people who were trying to die for nothing. He chose to walk along the mist extending along the railway.

Although you may encounter demons hiding in the mist, it is still better than falling into a deep ditch and drowning.

After making up his mind, he walked out of the village without hesitation.

The terrain of Mingyue Village is flat. On both sides of the railway construction, the fields with traces of farming are deserted, and a large amount of sand and stones are used as a pile of land, thus creating this direct railway to the middle territory.

John was surprised to find that several players appeared beside the railway.

They were far apart and obviously not in the same group.

Since they had always been wary of each other, John immediately attracted the attention of several people when he appeared.

They looked at each other speechlessly and just walked in a row along the railway without disturbing each other.

Because John walked last, he paid extra attention to the safety behind him.

Due to their active exploration, the clouds and fog were peeled away, gradually becoming thinner and clearer, and the map above also simultaneously displayed information about the area they explored.

[Welcome players to Hope Plains]

"I seem to have heard this term from a villager who is a farmer, but..."

Looking at the grassy plain, he suddenly understood the farmer's regret and sigh.

This railway allowed them to live a prosperous life, but it also led to the disappearance of some traditional occupations.

The farmer with the dark neck was among them.

Before he could think about it, a scream suddenly came from the player in front.

"Ahhh! Don't come over here!"

Hearing the noise, the players behind them stopped moving forward, and a few even turned around and ran away, but most of them were still waiting in place, in a fighting posture, waiting for the monsters and players to rush out of the fog.

"help me!"

The burly man walking at the front ran toward them with a mournful face, as if he had received a huge impact.

His feet were like stepping on a hot wheel, and he flew very fast. In a short while, he ran a certain distance, but the red light chasing him also quietly emerged from the gray mist.

John looked far away and saw that the monster was actually humanoid, and the clothes he wore were not shabby and shabby, and were even many times better than the fabrics they wore.

But after taking a closer look, John instantly discovered that the monster was different from them.

"Jie Jie Jie, you young cubs, be obedient and become the nourishment for me to move forward!"

Surprisingly, the demon monster can actually talk, and the player can understand it.

But when John raised his eyes and saw Kuai's ear-to-ear grin and his devilish red eyes, a terrifying sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.

He immediately understood where the player's fear came from.

Although this monster is not ugly, it is quite scary. The width of its mouth seems to swallow the player when it opens its mouth.

What's more, the monster is faster than the player...

"No, I can't die like this. Even if I die, I have to get more information, otherwise it will be a big loss."

Under the pressure of a strong sense of crisis, John was unusually calm.

After making up his mind, he did not run around in a panic, but followed the path he came from, selected a destination and turned on the automatic navigation.

While running forward, he observed the movements of the demon with his peripheral vision.

The devil is seen changing position every second like a ghost, showing a terrifying smile, which makes the player feel a chill sweeping through his body as soon as he comes in contact with it.

However, most of the players were only at level one and did not have the ability to fight monsters, so naturally they could not escape the pursuit of the demon.

[The player worked around the clock and died]

[The player I Am the Master has died]

【…】

At the end of the chase, John clearly saw the demon's ugly appearance and the thick black mist in his robe.

What is wrapped in the black mist? Maybe you can only know if you defeat him.

The next second, John reached the resurrection point.

When he opened the panel, he saw that he had lost 50 experience points and returned to level 0 as expected.

John smacked his lips and clicked on a column that was suddenly unlocked under personal attributes.

[Congratulations to the player for unlocking the Demonic Illustrated Book. 】

Clicking on that column, a book full of card slots opened, revealing the only illustration he had collected.

[Monster name: Railway Ghost

Level:Level 2

Health: 200

Skills: teleportation, claw attack

Monster introduction: The underground undead who were pressed by the railway were assimilated by the demon and became the earthbound spirits wandering beside the railway.

Weakness: To be explored (Note: Unlock the weakness and you will have a chance to obtain the ghost’s relics)]

"A level 2 monster actually comes with a puzzle-solving process. The magic company is really in a hurry."

As he said this, his body honestly expressed his desire to explore.

He originally worked as a scout, and the reason why he chose this branch of service was not only the excitement, but also the novelty of danger that fascinated him.
