Nightmare Illustrated Collection Record [Unlimited Stream]
Chapter 29 Deep Sea Ritual Town (8)
After dinner, refreshments were served, and it was time for the players to freely exchange information.
Of course, since there are no maids, the snacks brought up are still raw and burnt, and most players are grateful.
Lei Yingzhe and the players from the town faction summed up the possible flags that the three players who died today could trigger.He was not conceited, and seriously considered the possibility of the townspeople's malicious intentions, and listed a series of possibilities, as well as the countermeasures in case the flag was triggered.
Yin Luming exchanged their gains with Si Chengsi and Mi Ampere.
The brothers of the Si family had a quarrel today, but now they barely reconciled. The two of them searched the manor carefully, not letting go of any corner except the second floor, which was prohibited by Mrs. Solari's order.
"The fence of Solari Manor is set up very high, and there are two side doors that haven't been opened for a long time." Si He said, "There are also some rusty nail tips on the fence, I don't know who it is for defense."
Yin Luming listed what he had learned from investigating Mrs. Solari today.
Si He looked at him with some surprise: "You are not afraid of death."
Resist Madam Solari's ban.
Si Cheng looked at Yin Luming more kindly, and at the same time, there was a strong desire to not admit defeat in his eyes, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
Then he was directly interrupted by Si He: "Don't even think about it."
Si Cheng's face turned cold instantly, and he sat a little further away from Si He without saying a word, expressing his protest.
"Judging from the defense of Solari Manor, someone did try to steal Madam Solari's gems." Si He continued to analyze with a straight face, "If Madam Solari is the dreamer of this dream, then the villagers, monsters Possibly a symbol of her fear of jewelry being stolen."
Mi Ampei scratched his head: "What about the sun? Our main task is to help the townspeople to bathe in the sun... It can't be that we want to bathe in the sunshine of the iron fist of socialism, right?"
"If you follow the main task step by step, the customs clearance is probably to complete the sacrifice, let the sun fish god or the sea fish god exert its power." Si He lightly tapped his head, "But if you want to break the level..."
Yin Luming glanced at Si Cheng, but said nothing.
Si Cheng frowned, and said coldly, "Just say what you want."
Yin Luming stroked his chin: "I think Mrs. Solari is the dreamer."
In fact, Si He also had doubts in this regard, but he was still a little curious seeing Yin Luming's determination: "So sure?"
"Dreams are controlled by Tumengzhe to a certain extent. The three rules in Solari Manor basically come from Mrs. Solari's request." Yin Luming said, "Mrs. Solari should be a jewelry designer in reality." As a teacher, her obsession is to find inspiration for designing jewelry."
Mi Ampere gnawed on a burnt donut: "Where does this dream have anything to do with jewelry design? Is it fish?"
Si He said: "This is also the reason why I'm still not sure... Mrs. Solari is incompatible with the style of the town, making people suspect that she might just be a boss imagined by the real dreamer."
"Being out of place may be the purpose of Mrs. Solari. What she wants is not the scenery she is accustomed to, but a new scene that can inspire her." Yin Luming pointed out the window, "I even think that Mrs. Solari Except for using the manor as her own personal domain, she has never controlled this dream, so she hopes that some new things will emerge from the dream that she did not expect."
Mi Ampei picked up the teacup: "Is it the monster at the stone pillar? Then this designer should not be easily recognized by the mainstream public, right?"
Seeing that Mi Ampei was eating deliciously, Si He also picked up a cup of tea to drink, but when Mi Ampere reminded him of those disgusting monsters on the stone pillar, he felt nauseated and put down the cup.
Si Cheng drank his glass in one gulp and gave him a provocative look.
Si He was speechless, turned his head and continued to analyze: "In this case... Could it be that the sun refers to Mrs. Solari's design inspiration? It's too nihilistic."
He looked at Yin Luming, waiting for him to reason further.
Yin Luming spread out his hands: "If I had already guessed, I would have already passed the level by now."
He casually picked up a cup of tea, and just as he was about to drink it, Shen Lou's deep voice sounded next to his ear: "Don't drink it."
Yin Luming stopped.
"There's a problem with the tea."
Yin Luming's eyes fell on the teacup in his hand.
The tea cup is made of round white porcelain, the tea inside is rich and sweet, rippling with a light orange color, and some hot air is coming out.
Shen Lou seemed to know what Yin Luming wanted to ask, and continued: "There is malice from this dream in the tea."
Yin Luming knew that Shen Lou would not make fun of him in such a matter, so he put down the teacup seriously, and at the same time pressed Mi Ampere's hand drinking tea: "Wait a minute."
He turned around and called Chi Xi over, asking Chi Xi to smell his tea.
Chi Xi was listening carefully to Lei Yingzhe's analysis, when she sniffed Yin Lumeng's teacup, she immediately signed up: "This smell is very similar to the drink in the morning."
Yin Luming's face darkened slightly.
Chi Xi said that the three players who died today drank this drink in the morning.
Mi Ampere's face turned pale in an instant: "No way?! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't be greedy!"
Chi Xi went over and sniffed his cup, her face softened slightly: "This cup doesn't have that strange smell..."
Miampe let out a long breath.
Si He grabbed the cup that Si Cheng drank from: "What about this?"
"This has."
Si He's face suddenly became gloomy, and his lips were drawn into a line.
He said to Si Cheng without hesitation, "We'll sleep in the same room tonight."
Si Cheng stared at the teacup and pondered for a while, then unexpectedly said: "No, I'm going to the woods tonight."
"Xiao Cheng!"
"How could you find the clues to break the level if you have been waiting for death?" Si Cheng raised his chin, "I don't need your protection."
"you……"
The quarrel between the two brothers attracted the attention of other players.
Lei Yingzhe walked over first, and said kindly: "What's the matter? Is there any conflict that we can't talk about?"
Yin Luming was just about to ask Chi Xi to tell the other players about it, but when he saw Lei Yingzhe coming over, he went ahead and told him about the problem with the tea.
There was an uproar.
"Are you sure? You have such a good nose?"
"I only took a sip just now, should I be fine?"
Most of the players were concerned about the unpalatable dishes for dinner today, and they didn't touch the refreshments; but there were also a few who drank it casually, and their faces turned pale.
Chi Xi helped to identify them one by one. Some teas had problems, while others were fine.
The players who won the bid all had expressions of despair or anger on their faces.
While the other players were rejoicing, they also felt a little joy in their hearts - if the number of dead players, that is, the number of sacrifices reached, would their mission be completed?
Lei Yingzhe frowned and said, "Why do the drinks from the townspeople have the same thing as the tea from Solari Manor?"
The two sides are attacking each other in the same situation, and it seems that they should be in opposition.
Yin Luming asked: "Who is the boss of the Town People's Faction you saw?"
"He is a very old sailor with thinning hair and one eye is blind and covered by an eye patch." Lei Yingzhe briefly described his appearance and guessed Yin Lumeng's thoughts, "he is very flexible in movement and quick in thinking, not a maid That kind of monster."
Of course, not being a monster does not mean that there is no malice.
Sometimes evil from people is the scariest thing.
Yin Luming thought for a moment, then turned to Si Chengsi and said, "It's best to stay in the room tonight and not go out."
Si Cheng frowned: "Why?"
"The manor is Madam Solari's territory. No matter whether she is a dreamer or not, she will not let other people come here to make trouble."
Before, the maid monster wanted to make the player a sacrifice, but also by making the player violate taboos, such as smearing sewage at the door, or luring the player to the second floor.
In other words, as long as Madam Solari's taboos were not violated, she was safe in the manor.
The players who had also had a drink first showed a look of rejoicing, and then their expressions changed—even if they escaped tonight, they still have to go out to the woods to make canoes tomorrow!
……
At night, Si Cheng ran calmly through the woods with a dagger in each hand.
He received extra rewards when he cleared the dream before, and his speed was strengthened, making him faster and more explosive than ordinary people.
Many monster raids that are fatal to ordinary people, he can completely resist.
That's why Si Cheng didn't believe Si He's rhetoric of seeking stability—it was all about fear of death!
Yin Luming is about to find the real secret of the dream, how can he lag behind?
Si Cheng believes that the stone pillar must be the core part of this dream, otherwise there would not be so many bugs guarding it, and there would not be such disgusting tentacle monsters.
He was very fast, and it didn't take long for him to reach the place where they stopped fighting the bug monsters late at night.
Looking from here, six players have been tied to the stone pillar—the bodies of the three players who were buried at sea in a canoe today are also on it.
Below the stone pillar is a swarm of insects.
Perhaps it was because there were no maids left in Solari Manor, this time the tentacle monster on the stone pillar did not control the bug monster, but danced wildly on the stone wall.
Si Cheng narrowed his eyes, bit the dagger in his mouth, and took out a short knife from his waist.
Just when he was about to rush up, his face suddenly changed, and he jumped aside!
Two ferocious insect monsters drilled out from the ground, their sharp front feet were still stained with mud, they screamed and rushed towards Si Cheng.
Si Cheng sneered, and flung out the dagger in his hand as if he had eyes—a cold light flashed by, and the front feet of the two insect monsters broke off and fell to the ground!
The worm let out a shrill scream.
The dagger flew back into his hand as if alive.
A sneer appeared on Si Cheng's face: This kind of monster without wisdom is vulnerable...
At this moment, he suddenly felt his feet tighten, and something grabbed his ankle and pulled him up in the air!
Si Cheng subconsciously slashed towards his ankle—but something sticky and slippery wrapped around his wrist, pulling his arm tightly!
Si Cheng gritted his teeth and flipped his wrist, cutting off a tentacle, and then more tentacles struck.
Although his speed was fast, there were too many of these tentacles, which almost blocked his way of dodging, making him unable to move at all.
Tentacles wrapped around his neck and tightened. The lack of oxygen made his brain feel suffocated, and his consciousness gradually became blurred...
Just when the two tentacles came towards Si Cheng's eye sockets, a faint light burst from behind Si Cheng, and rescued Si Cheng from the tentacles' wrapping.
Si Cheng fell to the ground, coughed twice, with surprise on his face: "Brother?"
Si and the palm glowed, and the translucent mask enveloped the two of them, isolating the tentacle attack.
He looked stern: "Be careful, let's go!"
Si Cheng pursed his lips, clenched his fist for a while before letting go: "Okay."
Obviously, when they came to the woods last time, these tentacle monsters only stayed near the stone pillars, and they could only attack players by controlling the insect monsters. How could they come to the woods this time?
And not just one!
Four or five groups of shadows tacitly blocked around the mask, whipping the mask with their tentacles, trying to swallow the prey inside.
These tentacle monsters look very unfriendly, and it makes people feel sick to look at them.
Twisted, slimy tentacles inspire your deepest fears on a dark night.
Si He took a deep breath, and didn't have time to scold Si Cheng for sneaking out to die, so he took Si Cheng's hand: "Don't be reckless, hide behind me."
Instead, Si Cheng stood in front of him: "I'm not a kid anymore, I can kill them all!"
Si He frowned, and when his eyes turned to Si Cheng's face, his expression suddenly changed.
The corners of Si Cheng's eyes were slightly bloodshot, and his expression was a little abnormally fanatical.
Although Si Cheng was impulsive and belligerent in the past, he was definitely not so reckless and ignorant.
Si He instantly thought of that cup of tea, cursed in his heart, and took a deep breath: "Xiao Cheng, you are not in the right mental state right now, listen to me."
……
The second floor of Solari Manor is the only place where there is light in the town at night.
Madam Solari felt a sense of the small room full of uncarved jadeite, sapphire, and agate. She raised her head, with a slight doubt in her expression, and said to herself: "There are already seven sacrifices?"
Nothing happened tonight?
Madam Solari's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and then relaxed, forgetting about this matter—forget it, players who don't follow her rules don't need to care.
……
The sun rose as usual the next day, and players still had to continue looking for opportunities to complete the mission.
The players who chose the townspeople faction spent a peaceful night, and today they continue to complete the task entrusted to them by the townspeople - making canoes.
Making canoes is like making their own graves.
Especially those who drank that kind of drink for dinner yesterday raised their vigilance by 12 points, lest they suffer the same misfortune as the three players yesterday.
Yin Luming took another look at the pier as usual, and found that there were a few more townspeople on the pier.
As before, when they saw Yin Luming approaching, they immediately ran away without a trace, leaving only the canoe out to sea.
Yin Luming endured the stench on the canoe this time, stepped forward and stepped on it lightly.
The canoe sank immediately as if it had no buoyancy.
"According to the townspeople, only a canoe made by oneself can carry its own weight."
Lei Yingzhe came from behind him and said with a smile, "It is said that every fisherman's boat in the small town of Solari is made by themselves."
Yin Luming glanced at him, but didn't speak.
Lei Yingzhe said again: "Is there any valuable information, I think we can exchange with each other."
Yin Luming glanced at him: "Why do you think I have information?"
Lei Yingzhe pointed to his head: "Intuition. People like you are very suitable for entering the nightmare game."
Yin Luming raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
"Nightmare game players are generally divided into two categories. One is rational players. This type of players is the most. They regard dreams as a completely illusory world, as if they are playing holographic online games. The advantage of this is that they can be relatively more rational and more intelligent. Calmly analyze and judge, and you won’t be burdened by emotions.” Lei Yingzhe seems to be talking, “The other type is emotional players, who will gradually lose the boundary between reality and illusion, and pay too much attention to the feelings of NPCs in dreams. People even fall in love with fake NPCs. So there are very few such players, and it is easy to die in nightmare games."
Yin Luming heard Ning Yuanyuan say something before, and raised his eyebrows: "Which side are you on?"
Lei Yingzhe smiled: "I'm the former. But I didn't choose the former because I thought the dream was fake, but because I was afraid that I would fall too much into the dream, so I stipulated my thinking like this."
Shen Lou's unceremonious sneer sounded in Yin Luming's ears: "It's pretty good to add drama to myself."
Lei Yingzhe couldn't hear Shen Lou's voice, so he changed the topic, "And you are neither, you have both."
Yin Luming didn't speak.
"The rational type may have an advantage in logical reasoning, but it is actually not easy to pass the level - because every dream has a real dreamer, and his dream location can be selected by the nightmare game, which shows that there is a core The knot needs to be resolved by the players." Lei Yingzhe looked at Yin Luming, "This kind of emotional details need strong empathy to find."
Yin Luming remembered that in the last dream "Flowers and Scorched Earth Campus", the key point for him to find that the dreamer was Chu Rong came from Chu Rong's vague guilt towards Director Jiang and Qi Xiaobei in the dream.
As for this copy...
Yin Luming showed a polite smile: "I disappointed Mr. Lei, I'm not as strong as you said."
Lei Yingzhe sighed: "You seem to be very wary of me."
"We are competing with each other." Yin Luming smiled, "I have always been wary of strangers."
Lei Yingzhe laughed: "Okay, it seems that I have to find out... I want to invite you to join the guild."
In the last dream, Ding Pei'an, who plotted against newcomers, was also in the name of the guild, and Yin Luming's smile was even more polite and alienated.
"Don't rush to refuse." Lei Yingzhe smiled, "You may have some misunderstandings about the guild... The guild I belong to does not deduct membership points, and there are no special restrictions on members. It just releases some tasks regularly. Whether you accept it or not is entirely up to you, but the mission rewards are very generous, and you will only lose money if you don’t accept it.”
Yin Luming raised his eyebrows: "Then how does such a guild make money?"
"Some guilds don't go there for profit, but to communicate with friends or explore the mysteries of the nightmare game, etc." Lei Yingzhe smiled confidently at Yin Lumeng, "All the members of our 'Sinking Anchor' guild are now ranked players, yes The requirements for joining new members are very high, especially for newcomers-but you are really good, do you want to try joining us?"
A guild full of ranked players...
Yin Luming was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "Sorry, I'm not interested."
"Aren't you going to hear about the benefits in the guild?"
"No need." Yin Luming said, "I will find anything I need by myself."
Lei Yingzhe was startled, looked at Yin Luming with a little surprise, and smiled helplessly after a while: "Okay, then I wish you good luck."
Yin Luming's eyes suddenly glanced at a figure in the past, he said goodbye to Lei Yingzhe politely, and went to pat that person.
The man turned his head, revealing a pair of eyes burning with regret and anger.
Yin Luming was startled: "What's wrong?"
Si Cheng loosened his clenched teeth, his voice trembling: "My brother is dead."
Yin Luming was completely stunned.
——Sihe is dead?
It stands to reason that Si Cheng drank tea yesterday and might encounter some troubles today, but Si He was not particularly nervous even though he was worried at the time.The pair of brothers seem to have gone through a lot of dreams, so they must have enough self-defense ability...
However, Si Cheng is fine, but Si He is dead?
His face was a little serious: "What's going on?"
Si Cheng's lips were already bleeding from his own bite, and it took him a long time to spit out: "He used a replacement tool to replace my state with his."
So those damn tentacle monsters turned their targets on Si He, and then Si He shook off him to lure them away alone.
after that...
Yin Luming frowned and then loosened his brows. Seeing Si Cheng's extremely ugly face, he patted him on the shoulder: "I'm sorry, I want to be more open."
Si Cheng's clothes were a little torn, and the wounds that had clotted blood were exposed on the back of his hands and shoulders.But more worrisome was his mental state, which was clearly in a trance.
Si Cheng raised his eyes, his clear eyes were filled with pain and unyielding: "I know. I won't be impulsive... I won't die, and I still have hope to save my brother. If I die, he will really be gone. "
As soon as Yin Luming had doubts, Shen Lou's voice sounded in his ears: "Nightmare game players make the most wishes to revive their relatives or lovers."
The Nightmare game itself is already very weird, but being able to resurrect the dead is still a bit beyond Yin Lumen's expectations.
But at least the current Si Cheng has sustenance in this regard, so he is somewhat relieved.
Yin Luming and Si Chengsi have not known each other for a long time, but it can be seen that the two brothers have a good relationship. Although they often quarreled before, the main conflict is the small conflict between the eldest brother and the rebellious younger brother.
Si He has a gentle temper, and his personality is very speculative with Yin Luming; Si Cheng is impulsive but full of energy, and Yin Luming has always felt that the Si brothers are worthy of association.
Yin Luming was thinking about how to distract Si Cheng when Chi Xi hurried over from a distance: "Brother Yin! Brother Yin!"
"what happened?"
Chi Xi ran out of breath, supported her knees to catch her breath, and said, "The townsman who died yesterday came back to life!"
……
Yin Luming arrived near the woods and saw the dead townsman yesterday beating on a thick tree, and said in a hoarse voice: "This tree is of good quality. If you didn't pick one yesterday, you can chop it down." Make a boat."
He is alive, his eyes are cloudy but usable, his wrinkled face is numb, and there is no trace of yesterday's death.
After watching the scene where his eye sockets and brain were devoured yesterday, the players couldn't help but feel a icy chill behind them, and no one dared to step forward.
Yin Luming frowned and looked at the townsman, and suddenly heard Si Cheng's trembling voice behind him shouting: "Brother?"
Yin Luming was stunned for a moment, then turned around in surprise: "Si He?"
Si Cheng shook his hands, clenched his fists, his eyes were a little dazed, and he tried to suppress his voice: "My brother's voice, I will not admit my mistake."
——The townsman who came back from the resurrection is Si He?
Of course, since there are no maids, the snacks brought up are still raw and burnt, and most players are grateful.
Lei Yingzhe and the players from the town faction summed up the possible flags that the three players who died today could trigger.He was not conceited, and seriously considered the possibility of the townspeople's malicious intentions, and listed a series of possibilities, as well as the countermeasures in case the flag was triggered.

"Xiao Cheng!"
"How could you find the clues to break the level if you have been waiting for death?" Si Cheng raised his chin, "I don't need your protection."
"you……"
The quarrel between the two brothers attracted the attention of other players.

Just when the two tentacles came towards Si Cheng's eye sockets, a faint light burst from behind Si Cheng, and rescued Si Cheng from the tentacles' wrapping.
Si Cheng fell to the ground, coughed twice, with surprise on his face: "Brother?"
Si and the palm glowed, and the translucent mask enveloped the two of them, isolating the tentacle attack.
He looked stern: "Be careful, let's go!"
Si Cheng pursed his lips, clenched his fist for a while before letting go: "Okay."
Obviously, when they came to the woods last time, these tentacle monsters only stayed near the stone pillars, and they could only attack players by controlling the insect monsters. How could they come to the woods this time?
And not just one!
Four or five groups of shadows tacitly blocked around the mask, whipping the mask with their tentacles, trying to swallow the prey inside.
These tentacle monsters look very unfriendly, and it makes people feel sick to look at them.
Twisted, slimy tentacles inspire your deepest fears on a dark night.
Si He took a deep breath, and didn't have time to scold Si Cheng for sneaking out to die, so he took Si Cheng's hand: "Don't be reckless, hide behind me."
Instead, Si Cheng stood in front of him: "I'm not a kid anymore, I can kill them all!"
Si He frowned, and when his eyes turned to Si Cheng's face, his expression suddenly changed.
The corners of Si Cheng's eyes were slightly bloodshot, and his expression was a little abnormally fanatical.
Although Si Cheng was impulsive and belligerent in the past, he was definitely not so reckless and ignorant.
Si He instantly thought of that cup of tea, cursed in his heart, and took a deep breath: "Xiao Cheng, you are not in the right mental state right now, listen to me."
……
The second floor of Solari Manor is the only place where there is light in the town at night.
Madam Solari felt a sense of the small room full of uncarved jadeite, sapphire, and agate. She raised her head, with a slight doubt in her expression, and said to herself: "There are already seven sacrifices?"
Nothing happened tonight?
Madam Solari's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and then relaxed, forgetting about this matter—forget it, players who don't follow her rules don't need to care.
……
The sun rose as usual the next day, and players still had to continue looking for opportunities to complete the mission.
The players who chose the townspeople faction spent a peaceful night, and today they continue to complete the task entrusted to them by the townspeople - making canoes.
Making canoes is like making their own graves.
Especially those who drank that kind of drink for dinner yesterday raised their vigilance by 12 points, lest they suffer the same misfortune as the three players yesterday.
Yin Luming took another look at the pier as usual, and found that there were a few more townspeople on the pier.
As before, when they saw Yin Luming approaching, they immediately ran away without a trace, leaving only the canoe out to sea.
Yin Luming endured the stench on the canoe this time, stepped forward and stepped on it lightly.
The canoe sank immediately as if it had no buoyancy.
"According to the townspeople, only a canoe made by oneself can carry its own weight."
Lei Yingzhe came from behind him and said with a smile, "It is said that every fisherman's boat in the small town of Solari is made by themselves."
Yin Luming glanced at him, but didn't speak.
Lei Yingzhe said again: "Is there any valuable information, I think we can exchange with each other."
Yin Luming glanced at him: "Why do you think I have information?"
Lei Yingzhe pointed to his head: "Intuition. People like you are very suitable for entering the nightmare game."
Yin Luming raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
"Nightmare game players are generally divided into two categories. One is rational players. This type of players is the most. They regard dreams as a completely illusory world, as if they are playing holographic online games. The advantage of this is that they can be relatively more rational and more intelligent. Calmly analyze and judge, and you won’t be burdened by emotions.” Lei Yingzhe seems to be talking, “The other type is emotional players, who will gradually lose the boundary between reality and illusion, and pay too much attention to the feelings of NPCs in dreams. People even fall in love with fake NPCs. So there are very few such players, and it is easy to die in nightmare games."
Yin Luming heard Ning Yuanyuan say something before, and raised his eyebrows: "Which side are you on?"
Lei Yingzhe smiled: "I'm the former. But I didn't choose the former because I thought the dream was fake, but because I was afraid that I would fall too much into the dream, so I stipulated my thinking like this."
Shen Lou's unceremonious sneer sounded in Yin Luming's ears: "It's pretty good to add drama to myself."
Lei Yingzhe couldn't hear Shen Lou's voice, so he changed the topic, "And you are neither, you have both."
Yin Luming didn't speak.
"The rational type may have an advantage in logical reasoning, but it is actually not easy to pass the level - because every dream has a real dreamer, and his dream location can be selected by the nightmare game, which shows that there is a core The knot needs to be resolved by the players." Lei Yingzhe looked at Yin Luming, "This kind of emotional details need strong empathy to find."
Yin Luming remembered that in the last dream "Flowers and Scorched Earth Campus", the key point for him to find that the dreamer was Chu Rong came from Chu Rong's vague guilt towards Director Jiang and Qi Xiaobei in the dream.
As for this copy...
Yin Luming showed a polite smile: "I disappointed Mr. Lei, I'm not as strong as you said."
Lei Yingzhe sighed: "You seem to be very wary of me."
"We are competing with each other." Yin Luming smiled, "I have always been wary of strangers."
Lei Yingzhe laughed: "Okay, it seems that I have to find out... I want to invite you to join the guild."
In the last dream, Ding Pei'an, who plotted against newcomers, was also in the name of the guild, and Yin Luming's smile was even more polite and alienated.
"Don't rush to refuse." Lei Yingzhe smiled, "You may have some misunderstandings about the guild... The guild I belong to does not deduct membership points, and there are no special restrictions on members. It just releases some tasks regularly. Whether you accept it or not is entirely up to you, but the mission rewards are very generous, and you will only lose money if you don’t accept it.”
Yin Luming raised his eyebrows: "Then how does such a guild make money?"
"Some guilds don't go there for profit, but to communicate with friends or explore the mysteries of the nightmare game, etc." Lei Yingzhe smiled confidently at Yin Lumeng, "All the members of our 'Sinking Anchor' guild are now ranked players, yes The requirements for joining new members are very high, especially for newcomers-but you are really good, do you want to try joining us?"
A guild full of ranked players...
Yin Luming was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "Sorry, I'm not interested."
"Aren't you going to hear about the benefits in the guild?"
"No need." Yin Luming said, "I will find anything I need by myself."
Lei Yingzhe was startled, looked at Yin Luming with a little surprise, and smiled helplessly after a while: "Okay, then I wish you good luck."
Yin Luming's eyes suddenly glanced at a figure in the past, he said goodbye to Lei Yingzhe politely, and went to pat that person.
The man turned his head, revealing a pair of eyes burning with regret and anger.
Yin Luming was startled: "What's wrong?"
Si Cheng loosened his clenched teeth, his voice trembling: "My brother is dead."
Yin Luming was completely stunned.
——Sihe is dead?
It stands to reason that Si Cheng drank tea yesterday and might encounter some troubles today, but Si He was not particularly nervous even though he was worried at the time.The pair of brothers seem to have gone through a lot of dreams, so they must have enough self-defense ability...
However, Si Cheng is fine, but Si He is dead?
His face was a little serious: "What's going on?"
Si Cheng's lips were already bleeding from his own bite, and it took him a long time to spit out: "He used a replacement tool to replace my state with his."
So those damn tentacle monsters turned their targets on Si He, and then Si He shook off him to lure them away alone.
after that...
Yin Luming frowned and then loosened his brows. Seeing Si Cheng's extremely ugly face, he patted him on the shoulder: "I'm sorry, I want to be more open."
Si Cheng's clothes were a little torn, and the wounds that had clotted blood were exposed on the back of his hands and shoulders.But more worrisome was his mental state, which was clearly in a trance.
Si Cheng raised his eyes, his clear eyes were filled with pain and unyielding: "I know. I won't be impulsive... I won't die, and I still have hope to save my brother. If I die, he will really be gone. "
As soon as Yin Luming had doubts, Shen Lou's voice sounded in his ears: "Nightmare game players make the most wishes to revive their relatives or lovers."
The Nightmare game itself is already very weird, but being able to resurrect the dead is still a bit beyond Yin Lumen's expectations.
But at least the current Si Cheng has sustenance in this regard, so he is somewhat relieved.
Yin Luming and Si Chengsi have not known each other for a long time, but it can be seen that the two brothers have a good relationship. Although they often quarreled before, the main conflict is the small conflict between the eldest brother and the rebellious younger brother.
Si He has a gentle temper, and his personality is very speculative with Yin Luming; Si Cheng is impulsive but full of energy, and Yin Luming has always felt that the Si brothers are worthy of association.
Yin Luming was thinking about how to distract Si Cheng when Chi Xi hurried over from a distance: "Brother Yin! Brother Yin!"
"what happened?"
Chi Xi ran out of breath, supported her knees to catch her breath, and said, "The townsman who died yesterday came back to life!"
……
Yin Luming arrived near the woods and saw the dead townsman yesterday beating on a thick tree, and said in a hoarse voice: "This tree is of good quality. If you didn't pick one yesterday, you can chop it down." Make a boat."
He is alive, his eyes are cloudy but usable, his wrinkled face is numb, and there is no trace of yesterday's death.
After watching the scene where his eye sockets and brain were devoured yesterday, the players couldn't help but feel a icy chill behind them, and no one dared to step forward.
Yin Luming frowned and looked at the townsman, and suddenly heard Si Cheng's trembling voice behind him shouting: "Brother?"
Yin Luming was stunned for a moment, then turned around in surprise: "Si He?"
Si Cheng shook his hands, clenched his fists, his eyes were a little dazed, and he tried to suppress his voice: "My brother's voice, I will not admit my mistake."
——The townsman who came back from the resurrection is Si He?
