Non-Human Seeking Re-employment

The detective was watching seriously, when suddenly something cold was stuffed into his hand, thinking it was a sneak attack by a ghost, he jumped up on the spot.

As soon as he jumped up, he realized that it was actually just a gold bracelet.

The detective asked strangely: "What are you doing?"

Unexpectedly, this question directly broke the doctor, she covered her face and kept shaking her head: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, and I don't want to be like this..."

detective:?

Isn't it just stuffing him with a gold bracelet?How come it looks like he killed his whole family.

Doctor: "Sorry, sorry!"

The detective also went to care about the doctor: "What's wrong with you?"

The doctor is a new player, and his psychological quality is not very good, so he explained everything when asked: "I don't want to die, I'm cursed, I don't want to die."

"Curse?" The detective seemed to understand something, dragged the doctor and asked, "What curse?"

The doctor lifted up his clothes, revealing a series of sarcoma on his wrist, then shook his head frantically: "I didn't mean it, it was her, yes, she told me!"

Maybe the doctor would feel better with someone who dumped the blame, so she pinned all the blame on Su Xiaoying: "She told me that the curse can be transferred, I didn't want to!"

The detective felt a chill, and subconsciously went to find Su Xiaoying.

Su Xiaoying didn't expect the doctor to be stupid and vicious, so she exposed her all at once, smiled very embarrassedly, then turned around and ran away without hesitation.

It's just that she didn't take two steps when she was hit on the knee by a stone, and she knelt down reflexively, and threw herself on the ground.

Zhou Wenyan threw a stone and casually threw it on the ground.

The detective quickly went up to subdue him: "What's the matter with you? Obviously we saved you, and we will repay you with revenge?"

The doctor cried and said: "Anyway, the person has been rescued, or we should leave here quickly, I don't want to stay..."

The aborigines on the ground kept moaning.

The scene was very chaotic for a while.

Shen Dongqing picked up a wooden stick on the ground, walked over, poked it lightly, and brushed against Su Xiaoying's main artery, and poked it on the ground.

With just such a small distance, Su Xiaoying could die suddenly on the spot.

Shen Dongqing held a wooden stick, and said, "Let's be persuaded."

It's more about intimidation than persuasion.

Game reminder: [This is a key NPC, very important...]

Shen Dongqing blinked innocently: "So it's persuasion."

Otherwise, he would have already started beating him.

The game was silent for a moment: [Perform a persuasion check]

[Your face is very kind in Su Xiaoying's eyes, and with the stick poked beside the aorta, she is so convinced by you that she is willing to say anything]

Shen Dongqing nodded in satisfaction, and asked, "What's the matter with this sacrifice?"

Su Xiaoying: "I, I don't know, I'm also a victim..."

Shen Dongqing: "Then change the question, what is the curse?"

Now Su Xiaoying can’t say that she doesn’t know. After all, she was the one who told the doctor that the sarcoma on her body was caused by a curse. She can only tell the truth: “I also heard from other aborigines.”

The original ancient town was quiet and peaceful, and the people inside were warm and hospitable. Even if there was a little feudal superstition, it would not hurt. After all, it was just worshiping and offering incense in the temple, and nothing bad would happen.

until one day.

Miao Zhu, who served the girl's temple, said in his dream that the ancient town was about to experience a heavy rain and mountain torrent. There was a cave behind the girl's temple, where he could take shelter temporarily.But the cave can't stay for a long time. If the disaster is over, you have to leave immediately, and you can't stay for a second.

The townspeople avoided this hidden cave according to the command, but after the flash flood passed, they were unwilling to leave according to Miaozhu's arrangement.

Because there is gold in the cave.

Who can keep calm in front of the glittering gold?

I don't know who made the first move. By the time he realized it, Miao Zhu had already been killed, but it didn't matter because they had gold.

The hinterland of this entire mountain is full of gold.

The aborigines dug deeper and more gold.

It's just that before they were happy for too long, they discovered that something strange had happened in the town.

For example, no newborns are born, for example, everyone is sick.

It's not a fatal disease, but it's very disgusting. People who have touched gold have sarcoma on every inch of their skin, which is heavy, like a bunch of plump grapes.

Gold can't be dug anymore, because a monster ran out of the cave, which was also covered with tumors.

The aborigines went to ask the girl's temple, but there was no response from the girl's temple, and the girl's stone statue became a stone without divinity, silent.

So they went crazy, and came up with the method of offering sacrifices, throwing the people of the Miaozhu family into the cave to appease the things that came out of it.

Unexpectedly, this method works, and those monsters like women.

So the Miaozhu family changed from serving the girl temple to the monster's bride. Every 18 years, a monster's bride would dedicate herself to the people of the entire ancient town.

So the aborigines thought she was a "good girl".

Of course, it doesn't matter if she is not a good girl. Under the power of the group, individual will is insignificant. No matter whether she is a good girl or not, she will be thrown into the arms of monsters.

Then the aborigines returned to normal, and the sarcoma disappeared, but they could not leave the ancient town and had to drink water from the small pool connected to the cave every day.

In the end, they are neither alive nor dead, and they don't know whether they are people or monsters.

After finishing speaking, Su Xiaoying murmured: "These are all retribution."

Shen Dongqing agreed: "That's right."

Su Xiaoying opened a gap and looked at Shen Dongqing.

Shen Dongqing felt her gaze and nodded affirmatively.

Su Xiaoying: ...

Why is there no sympathy after listening to it?

Shen Dongqing: "If you die by yourself, no one else can save you, right, Zhou Aying?"

Su Xiaoying froze for a moment, then gave Shen Dongqing a blank look: "I'm Su Xiaoying."

Shen Dongqing: "You are not."

Su Xiaoying: "I..."

Her words stopped under the stick.

Shen Dongqing said seriously: "You'd better think about it carefully."

Su Xiaoying: "I'm Su Xiaoying, do I still need to think about it?"

Shen Dongqing took out her pocket, and took out the half-remaining photo. The braided girl on it lowered her head, but she could vaguely see familiar features.

"Is that you?"

Su Xiaoying said: "This is me, but why do you use a photo to confirm who I am?"

Shen Dongqing: "Ah, I can guess, anyway, if you guess one of the two names, you can always get it right."

Su Xiaoying:?

She was waiting for Shen Dongqing to reveal some evidence, and then she came to refute it, but in the end, she didn't. People frankly said that they guessed it. How can people refute it?

The detective came out in time to make a rescue: "Pass a psychology check."

【Psychology Test Success】

【Su Xiaoying's expression is blank, she obviously doesn't know why you ask this question, do you need her to prove that she is 'Su Xiaoying'?How to prove "I am me" is a difficult problem without an ID card]

The detective was very conflicted: "You said she was Su Xiaoying, so it's unlikely that you could be wrong, right?"

After so many experiments, he has become convinced of the game.

Shen Dongqing: "I can't be wrong either."

Detective: "Uh..."

He didn't know which side to trust.

Su Xiaoying: "I'm really not Zhou Aying, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Shen Dongqing stared at Su Xiaoying with downcast eyes, and said after a while: "I wasn't sure at first, but I was sure you were Zhou Aying after seeing your reaction."

Now that it was discovered, Su Xiaoying oh no, Zhou Aying stopped pretending and her face sank: "How did you discover my weakness?"

Shen Dongqing said openly, "I'm in your shoes."

Zhou Aying was full of question marks.

Shen Dongqing: "I didn't expect you to be frightened and admit it right away."

Zhou Aying only felt a stagnation in her chest, and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

What the hell is this?Lian Mengdai guessed the identity she had concealed for a long time.

The detective looked at Zhou Aying and then at Shen Dongqing: "It's really fake, isn't the game lying to us?"

Shen Dongqing: "Yes."

The detective couldn't figure it out: "But why?"

This time the game dare not speak.

Zhou Wenyan said abruptly: "There is no new model at all."

The detective was shocked: "Huh?"

Zhou Wenyan: "To put it another way, this new mode is also a part of this game dungeon. Even if it's not the so-called 'running group', it will be something else."

The previous misleading method was to play word games at the beginning, but now it is more advanced, real-time interaction, and the ultimate goal is to kill players.

It seems that the game hates the two of them very much. Unfortunately, it can't interfere with the content of the dungeon, and can only do some unscrupulous tricks in such corners.

I really can't make it to the scene.

No matter what you do, roll the dice.

At the beginning, the answers given by the game are all correct, and you will unconsciously rely on and trust the game, but those answers are not painful and will not involve life-threatening.

But at the later critical moment, the answer given by the game is wrong, and just one wrong answer is enough to kill all players.

After hearing what he said, the detective broke out in a cold sweat.

Damn, killing people invisible.

"How did you know?"

Zhou Wenyan said lazily: "Just think about the habit of this idiot's game."

Let their eyes get dark, and they don't understand the rules of the game and hit the wall everywhere. This is what the game can do.

As for why a novice player who knows the rules of the new mode is deliberately arranged here, it is to let them understand the rules, get used to the rules, and believe in them.

The detective uttered a swear word: "Damn it."

So Zhou Wenyan didn't believe what the game said from the very beginning.

Shen Dongqing just regards this new model as a new toy, just play with it, it is impossible to have any dependence, he prefers to vomit blood from the game rather than asking for help from the game.

After the players saw through the drama of the game, the voice that had always been there silently shut up.

Then Zhou Ahying became fussy again, with a terrified face, she kept repeating: "She's here, she's here—"

The players looked at where she was pointing.

Now they are located on the edge of the cliff, and the direction Zhou Aying points to is below the cliff.

Shen Dongqing walked over and looked down.

The cliff is not high, and below is the small pool.

The originally calm water surged, and a vortex appeared in the center, which rolled up the seaweed, sand and gold at the bottom of the pool, and then a tentacle emerged from it and reached the edge of the cliff.

It's hard to describe what kind of a creature that is.

It looks like a human figure, but the flesh on the torso has turned into strips of tentacles, and the tentacles are covered with "purple grapes". These layers are superimposed one after another, making it look extremely huge.

It leaned against one of the hands to support its body, and slowly climbed up the cliff.

It seems that the sacrifice of the aborigines was successful. Even if the sacrifice escaped, the monster still came as promised.

According to the setting of this game dungeon, even if the players see through that they are being deceived, they still have to bite the bullet and come out to broadcast the real-time situation: [Enter the battle wheel...]

Before the game finished talking nonsense, Shen Dongqing thought about it, and stepped on the tentacle forcefully.

Facts have proved that even the tentacles hurt, so I let go of my hand subconsciously.

puff-

Where did the guy come from and where did he fall back.

The words of the game came to an abrupt end.

What are you fighting for?The monsters have fallen into the water, and it seems that they can be rescued again.

Shen Dongqing poked her head out and saw that the water was still splashing quite heavily.

Zhou Ahying's expression froze.

Originally, she wanted to change the subject and let everyone's attention turn to the monster, but now why the monster fell down, she is now back in an awkward situation.

Shen Dongqing rubbed her chin: "It doesn't look like the fighting power is strong."

【Please pass a lucky check】

[Luck check failed]

[After 3 minutes, the monster will climb the cliff and slaughter you, please prepare to enter the battle round and resist the attack of the monster]

Shen Dongqing blinked: "Massacre? Are you sure?"

It seems that this monster is a weak chicken.

【…】

During this conversation, 3 minutes passed, the tentacle monster climbed up again, this time it learned to be smart, put two tentacles on it, and pulled itself up with difficulty.

The tentacles on the tentacle monster kept wriggling, leaving trails of mucus on the ground, and a gap was opened in its head, with fine teeth growing inside.

It seems to be searching for something.

Zhou Ahying retreated back and hid behind the doctor, avoiding the gaze of the tentacle monster, and said anxiously: "She's here, she's here, kill her quickly, or we'll all die—"

The tentacle monster looks quite strange, and there is no need to do anything standing there, it is a horror movie.

The detective also hesitated: "Why don't you deal with this monster first?"

Shen Dongqing looked at it for a while: "We won't be able to leave after we get rid of her."

Detective: "...what do you mean?"

Zhou Wenyan: "This is Su Xiaoying."

The detective almost spit out a mouthful of water: "What, Su Xiaoying?"

He boldly glanced at the tentacle monster, thinking, is it really necessary to take this thing back?This can't move!

Zhou Aying said sharply: "What are you waiting for? If you don't kill her, none of you will be able to get out of this place!"

The monster stood there quietly, the tentacles on its body were constantly wriggling, it was extremely terrifying.

"Look at her like this, she is no longer human!"

The tentacle monster didn't move, it just raised a tentacle and pointed at it.

The doctor was confused: "Me? No, no!" She quickly dodged and found that the tentacle did not follow her, but was still pointing at that place, where Zhou Aying was standing.

Tentacle means roughly "give her to me".

Zhou Aying: "No, don't! You are my relative, you have to save me, save me!"

During the period of getting along, she had already figured out Zhou Wenyan's identity card, and now she started to play the family card.

"I can tell you how to get out of here, save me, save me!"

Zhou Wenyan said, handle your own affairs by yourself.

In order to show his attitude, the doctor grabbed Zhou Aying and sent her to the front, saying that all this has nothing to do with her.

After losing all the tricks, Zhou Aying was vulnerable and was caught by the tentacle monster powerlessly. The tentacles surged and slowly wrapped Zhou Aying inside, only showing a pair of terrified eyes.

After a while, a stream of mucus erupted from the gap in the tentacles and sprayed all over the ground. The tentacles seemed to be full, and they all burrowed into the body. When the last tentacle went in, the tentacle monster disappeared, and instead it was A young girl stood there.

This is Su Xiaoying.

Su Xiaoying said: "Thank you, there were... people who came here before, but they chose to believe her."

Those players definitely did not choose to believe in Zhou Aying, but chose to believe in the game.

After all, under the guidance of the game, she firmly believes in Zhou Aying's fabricated identity, and must regard the tentacle monster as hostile, and finally fights the tentacle monster to the death.

Probably the big revenge has been avenged, Su Xiaoying looked very calm: "You must want to know about the past, Zhou Aying should be very close to ten."

The Girl Temple suppressed a monster. It used to have nothing to do with the world. Later, a town gradually formed here. The aborigines believed in the Girl Temple and worshiped its incense.

As the saying goes, if others are soft-hearted, Girls Temple will naturally protect these aborigines. When the mountain torrents come, Girls Temple will let the aborigines go to the safest place without hesitation.

Although there is a monster deep in that place, it doesn't matter as long as you leave after the mountain torrent recedes.

Unexpectedly, people were greedy, and the aborigines were tempted by gold, unwilling to leave like this, and finally released the monsters inside, and the Girl Temple lost its divinity because of leaking the secrets, and could not suppress the monsters again.

Monsters erode the aborigines, making them neither human nor ghost.

So before the players had repeatedly guessed whether the people here were human, Shen Dongqing could only answer that they were not ghosts, because they were in a very strange state, neither human nor ghost.

And Su Xiaoying is only a part of this tragedy.

Her momentary kindness made herself a tribute to the monster.

Su Xiaoying said, "I want to ask you to do me a favor."

"kill me."

The detective was the first to disagree: "I was entrusted by your family to find you, and I must bring you back."

Su Xiaoying smiled: "Actually, I'm already dead, and I can't leave this town at all, just like them." She pointed to those monsters lying on the ground that were neither human nor ghost, "Of course, you too."

Detective: "Us?"

Su Xiaoying said: "You two touched gold."

The doctor picked up a gold bracelet because of his greed, but the detective was completely killed. Now they are in the same situation, which is also bad luck.

Su Xiaoying: "That's actually not gold, but the eggs of monsters, which parasitize on human beings to reproduce."

The doctor retched.

The detective was even more ashen-faced.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Su Xiaoying turned to look at Zhou Wenyan: "But... there is no way."

Zhou Wenyan raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Su Xiaoying: "The aborigines in the ancient town have been cursed, and no newborns have been born since then, but you are an exception."

Zhou Wenyan let out a "tsk".

I knew that the game had no good intentions in assigning him such a role.

"Because you were born under the protection of the Maiden Temple." Su Xiaoying said, "Or, you are the child of the Maiden Stone Statue, but you were born in the Miaozhu family."

In this way, wouldn't Zhou Ahying...

Su Xiaoying explained: "In addition to Zhou Aying, there is also a male in the Miaozhu family. He prayed to the girl's stone statue to solve this monster, so the girl's stone statue gave him a child."

That's why Zhou Aying secretly went to get the abortion pill.

Detective: "...a man?"

Shen Dongqing tilted her head in doubt: "Can men have children?" He leaned over and squeezed Zhou Wenyan's arm, "Could it be possible for you too?"

Zhou Wenyan was helpless: "This is just a character card."

Shen Dongqing's eyes faintly revealed disappointment.

Su Xiaoying: ...Wait, is your focus not right?

Su Xiaoying tried her best to correct the crooked plot: "So you can suppress the monster again, so that all of us can remove the curse."

The doctor and the detective changed their faces in an instant, looking at Zhou Wenyan expectantly.

But Zhou Wenyan was not so easily deceived, he threw out two words lightly: "The price?"

Su Xiaoying was silent for a moment: "...you were born according to your destiny, so naturally you have to die according to your destiny."

Of course, this death means that people and characters are buried in the copy of the game.

Shen Dongqing turned her head and stared at Zhou Wenyan for a while, then held her chin and said, "Do you look like a virgin?"

Zhou Wenyan laughed: "Of course not."

Su Xiaoying saw that this group of players was not easy to fool around, so she immediately changed the method, threatening: "If you don't suppress the monsters, you still can't leave here, and you will be assimilated slowly, and you will become like this."

It may be that she was too emotional, Su Xiaoying couldn't maintain her human form, as if she was stuck, her face twisted slightly, and she jumped repeatedly between humans and tentacle monsters.

It ended up being a half-man, half-tentacle creature, and even so, she kept saying, "You should have saved us—"

At this time, in order to speed up the progress, the game popped up again: [All players, please pass an inspiration check]

After pretending to throw the dice, it announced: [The inspiration test was a big success]

[You found that the ground under your feet was trembling constantly, as if something was about to come out of it, with a 'bang—', several stones burst out, and then a deep crack opened on the ground , a tentacle drilled out of it, as tall as a person, swaying in mid-air, like...]

Shen Dongqing continued the first half of the sentence: "It's like a squid about to be made into a skewer."

game:……

Other players: ...

It seems that this plot is not right?

In just one sentence, the life-and-death battle between humans and monsters has turned into a supper seafood stall with barbecue.
