Hyperreal board game

After listening to the report, Gao Xueya took the time to call his new girlfriend, and then slowly returned to the VIP room where Yue Zimo was.

However, there was no one in the room, only a table full of snacks was left, and even the backpack was left in place, only the person and the rabbit doll were gone.

The mobile phone was not working in the arena, so he searched inside and out, and then went to the door and shouted, telling the players in charge of security and waiters to find it quickly.

After searching for a few minutes, a fat man came to report profusely with sweat: "Okay, it seems that some guests saw him walking towards the south corridor."

There is a fire exit at the end of the south corridor. Although it is locked, there are endless skills and strange props in the board game system. A lock is not enough to prevent gentlemen or villains.

Gao Xueya gritted her teeth at Yue Zimo's petty anger, so she had no choice but to say to the security director, "Send someone down to search!"

The person in charge of security was a short woman who said in embarrassment: "Mr. Xiao Gao, if you go down the stairs, there will be a..."

Gao Xueya's face turned even darker: "You guys weren't allowed to go in! Don't you know how to use the search skill? What's wrong with your brain!"

The director of security rolled his eyes in his heart, and scolded this wise little emperor who didn't know the sufferings of the world, but arranged for someone to search.

But she specifically told the team members: "Come back when you reach the fifth floor, don't go down."

A team member who just joined asked naively, "Huh? But isn't that thing on the third floor?"

Before the director could speak, the old team member beside him slapped the back of his head: "Stupid you? After all, you are also an adventurer who has completed six modules. Do you understand the scope of influence? If you want to die, you can go down to the fourth floor try."

The little boy immediately covered the back of his head with tears in his eyes, and shut up silently.

Gao Xueya took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to call his elder brother.

Unexpectedly, on the other end of the phone, Gao Jun didn't look very angry, but smiled easily: "As expected, since he can't be idle, let him go on an adventure."

Gao Xueya was stunned: "But, but under there..."

Gao Jun still smiled: "For you, entering that place will undoubtedly kill you, but he may not. Let me know if you have any further information. Don't call if you have nothing to do. I'm busy."

Gao Xueya shoved the phone back, and finally thought she had figured out one thing: "Che, you kept saying how important that kid is, and it scared me to death, but it turned out that it wasn't a lie...my brother is my brother."

With an expression on his face that he had finished eating two limes, he didn't even bother to watch the arena. After explaining the rest, he went back to sleep in his private lounge.

At this time, An Ge and Yue Zimo were walking down the stairs at a very slow speed, one behind the other.The stairwell didn't even have emergency lights installed, but fortunately they wore custom-made miner hats.

An Ge turned the corner, the lamp on the hat was down, and just illuminated a red paint on the wall of the stairwell ⑧, but the lamp on Yue Zimo's hat intentionally or unintentionally only shone on An Ge.

A little pink fluff sticking to the hair is faintly exposed under the hat. The young man is wearing an army green coat suitable for sports. The hem of the coat reaches mid-thigh, tightly covering all suspicious signs.

So Yue Zimo looked at it for a long time and couldn't confirm whether there was a rabbit tail or not?

Just as he was engrossed in his thoughts, the light flickered in front of his eyes, and he raised his head to meet An Ge's cold gaze.

The boy hurriedly apologized: "What, what's the matter, Brother An? Did you find anything?"

There is a mysterious function between the contract pet and the owner, which can be turned on and off freely by the owner. The name is very ambiguous, called "the red line of love and consonance".

A group of □□ encourages people to be shameless.

The function is that when a pet is in danger of life, it can convey the idea "Master save me!!", and then the owner chooses to call the pet back to his side, or it can be reversed, that is, the owner is summoned by the pet. around.

The plan discussed by An Ge and Yue Zimo was to use this function to sneak into the arena and study how to destroy this place.

The plan is barely... going well.

Except that the second child was nowhere to be seen, but a pair of long and fluffy rabbit ears appeared on An Ge's head, resting softly on both sides of his head.

Although I was worried about other side effects, but so far no abnormalities have been found, so An Ge turned his attention to more important things.

Yuezi Mo Li, who accidentally burst into laughter, knew that he had caused trouble, so he hid out of the way.

An Ge tried his best to stuff the rabbit ears into the miner's hat. Although it was uncomfortable, he had to bear it.

But he was even more upset when he noticed the boy's gaze.

So he made a gesture: "You go ahead."

Yue Zimo: "Hey, I can't let you out of sight, otherwise how can I protect you?"

An Ge: "Stop talking nonsense and go ahead."

Yue Zimo obediently walked to the front, stretched out his hand to hold An Ge: "Then this way we won't get lost."

The two held hands and went down a few more floors.

According to the information obtained by Yue Zimo, the arena is divided into three levels, the primary arena is on the seventh floor, the intermediate arena is on the fifth floor, and the advanced arena is on the third floor.

Novices participate in the primary field, and they can be promoted to intermediate level by winning five games in a row or accumulatively winning [-] games in a season; then they can be promoted to advanced level by winning three games in a row or accumulatively winning ten games in a season.

It can also be seen from the number that the higher the level, the harder it is to win, and the greater the natural reward.

But something is weird...

An Ge just said it, and Yue Zimo also deeply agreed with it: "You think so, too, I think so too."

In view of Yizi's previous unreliable remarks, this time An Ge asked without any hope: "What do you think is strange?"

Yue Zimo pointed to the wall in the stairwell, "There is no door from the seventh floor on."

They happened to go down to the sixth floor, An Ge was startled, and walked down the last few stairs to the fire door.

He even touched it with his hands before he could confirm that the door was painted...

The corridors are dark, with no ventilation holes and now no doors, enough to induce claustrophobia.

Even if An Ge didn't have any strange phobias, now he couldn't help but feel that the air suddenly became stagnant and dull, and it became difficult to breathe.

Yue Zimo also touched it, knocked again, and said comfortingly: "The wall is not particularly thick, and I can blast it away. But this structure is a bit strange."

An Ge nodded. The strange thing he said was actually another point: "And generally speaking, the higher the floor, the higher it should be. Their VIP rooms are on the 10th floor, which shows that they are still following this common sense. But, The level of the arena is just the opposite, the higher the level, the lower the floor..."

Yue Zimo blinked his eyes: "Yes, this is also very strange."

An Ge continued to walk down: "Go to the third floor and have a look."

Yue Zimo stood still, hesitantly said: "Brother, I don't think so well..."

Feeling that the beast seemed to be activated again, An Ge spared his life after all, and asked seriously, "What, is it dangerous?"

Yue Zimo stretched out his hand and scratched his cheek, his face full of confusion: "It's...not really, but I just find it very annoying, very...smelly."

An Ge was about to say something when a prompt popped up in front of him.

[The properties of the items in the package have changed, please check them in time. 】

This is really unprecedented, An Ge temporarily stopped the discussion, called out the package to check.

The package that has been expanded to 15 grids with the upgrade is displayed in the game assistant as a 5x3 grid combination. At this time, there is a golden exclamation mark in the upper right corner of one of the grids.

Generally, this exclamation point in the game... means that you can accept the task.

An Ge clicked on the exclamation mark, and found that it came from the task of placing two artifact books.

[Three missing one: The world's three sacred books are the three basic pillars of the world creation, one is indispensable, but now there is a lack of one for a long time, and the balance of the world is precarious.At such a critical moment, the last jewel of the sea finally arrived long ago, revealing the clues of its existence!Please find the entrance to the library. 】

The more subtle situation is... this is a mandatory task, and the player jumped directly into the state of accepting the task without asking the player.

An Ge turned his head: "Three missing one means that there are three and one is missing, right?"

He asked this question only for confirmation, not for doubt.

But he just finished asking, and then glanced at the mission prompt, the title has changed to [Two missing one: The following is abbreviated...]

To some extent, it's really a pretty rogue system.

An Ge gave Yue Zimo a look, and then said: "I'll go down and have a look and I'll be back. You wait here and take care of it."

Yue Zimo sighed: "You know that I won't accept it."

An Ge was also very entangled, he really wanted to see what was going on on the third floor, but since Yue Zimo hated that place and didn't want to go there, it was the ideal state for the two of them to act separately, and no one forced the other.

Yue Zimo has already taken the lead to go downstairs: "Let's go, let's go, it's just to endure the smell, I have eaten stinky tofu and roasted durian with you, so why worry about it."

An Ge: "Didn't you say it's an internet celebrity!!"

The two of them did not encounter any obstacles along the way and reached the third floor smoothly.

The end of the stairs is not a stairwell, but a vast... stone wasteland that is so wide that there is no end.

The black ground with countless ravines formed after the cooling of surging magma is full of gravel.

The air smelled of the hot springs, a damp, warm, dull stench of sulfur and putrefaction.

An Ge couldn't help suspecting that Yue Zimo's so-called stench was this.

He and Yue Zimo stood on the penultimate step and looked around, unwilling to go down for a long time.

There is also scarlet magma surging in the cracks in the ground, emitting an extremely ugly red light. These are the only light sources in the space, illuminating the entire stone wasteland like a huge scale monster suffering from radiation sickness. the spine.

The ceiling above his head also disappeared, and the red light could not cover the darkness above, as if it had become a boundless night sky.

This is simply a statement: this is a place related to hell.

Thinking about the insidious and cunning demon that Yue Zimo ate, An Ge flinched: "Let's go back... I rely on it!"

The moment the two of them didn't pay attention, the stairs disappeared.They were already standing on the slightly hot black rocky beach.

Yue Zimo still held An Ge's hand tightly, "Don't be afraid, Brother An, I'm here."

The boy's voice was gentle and steady, conveying a reassuring force.

An Ge was not afraid, he just felt that Yue Zimo had been involved.

The wilderness was bigger than it looked, and there was no wind, and the surroundings were as dead as a vacuum.Only the sound of their breathing, and the occasional grunt of lava bursting into bubbles from the cracks in the ground, convinced him that there was air here.

An Ge took out the Fang of the Void, and made marks on the stones along the way.

However, when they reached the No.11 mark, they decided to rest in place for a while, and took mineral water and chocolate from the package to replenish their energy.

Because of this, An Ge saw that the mark carved on the stone had disappeared.

The Fang of the Void is indestructible, cutting stones is like cutting cucumbers, so the arrows he draws are wide and deep, with a width of five centimeters and a depth of two centimeters.

However, after waiting a little longer, the groove position seemed to be healed, and stones slowly grew out of the groove, filling up the arrowhead without leaving any traces.

Unwilling to be reconciled, An Ge rummaged through the package, found a pack of barbed wire, and put it on a rock as tall as a person before setting off again.

Within 5 minutes, he saw that the caltrops were gradually absorbed by the stone, leaving no slag.

Yue Zimo dissuaded An Ge, who wanted to try it for the third time: "Forget it, it seems that it is limited by the rules. It is useless even if you throw bread crumbs. It seems that we should go to the Candy House."

An Ge was stunned for a moment, feeling that the bread crumbs and the candy house were very familiar, and before he had time to complain, Yue Zimo had already consciously complained: "But Hansel and Gretel are brothers and sisters, am I my sister? No, no, no. Let’s change the story.”

The "sister", who was a head taller than his brother, held hands with his brother and walked forward without any psychological burden: "Whatever, just choose a direction and go straight forward. Since we are forced to enter the wasteland , Even if we don’t look for trouble, things will come to us.”

It must be said that Yue Zimo's words were very reasonable, so An Ge gave up identifying the direction and memorizing the route, and the two of them bypassed the lava cracks time and time again, sweating profusely.

When An Ge stopped to rest and drink water for the fourth time, he couldn't help but said, "The temperature seems to be rising all the time?"

Yue Zimo was different from him. He didn't even break out a single sweat in the air that seemed to scald his alveoli when breathing. His white skin was as smooth as jade. He stretched out his hand to test the surrounding temperature: "Hey, is there any?"

An Ge's current character card chooses the warrior profession. The physical strength and toughness of a level 12 fighter is far superior to that of ordinary humans, and his adaptability to harsh environments is also far superior to that of ordinary people.But even so, the current temperature is beyond his tolerance.This has even far exceeded the temperature of the sauna room, making An Ge feel like a piece of pork belly sizzling over charcoal fire.

He took off his coat a long time ago, and now he didn't care about the rabbit ears on his head. He took off his miner's hat, twisted a bottle of mineral water and poured it over his head. While enjoying the fleeting moment of coolness, he faintly felt that something was wrong.

By the way, it's Yue Zimo.

The boy who initially resisted going downstairs now seems to enjoy it.After walking for so long, he didn’t feel tired, the high temperature didn’t affect him, and the sulfur smell didn’t make him show a distressed expression. When he said he didn’t want to go downstairs, his face was full of disgust, but now he looked very happy, just like... It's like coming home.

For the devil, isn't the current environment just a return home?

An Ge's heart sank again, and he made a quick decision: "Let's not go forward, let's go back."

"That can't be done." The boy said gently, "It's hard to get to this point, how can we go back?"

The hand that had been holding him was released, the boy smiled at him leisurely, turned around suddenly, and ran on the strange rocky ground like walking on the ground, the figure in the gray T-shirt was reflected by the red light of the magma. Flickering, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

An Ge was left alone, her heart was cold, but her mind was more active than ever.

He had long felt that the demon could not disappear so easily, but that guy usually hid too deeply, and he had no way of getting started.Now is an opportunity.

Wealth is sought in danger, no, true love is sought in danger, he will fight!

He had only chased about ten steps in the direction where Yue Zimo disappeared, when the system prompt suddenly jumped out:

[Two missing one task reminder: There are still 500 meters to the entrance of the library. 】
