Starting from Zero

There is a lavender mist that can't be melted in this unknown little village. The mist is very strange. When you are outside the village, you do n’t see the dense fog at all, but as soon as you step into the clear dividing line of the village entrance, the rolling dense fog will appear in front of the eyes, and everything will be 5 meters away. Covered in nothingness. As for the dividing line of the village entrance ...

This is actually not a substantial line, but a boundary between two different states. On the outside of this border, that is, on the outside, everything is normal. The ground is brown dirt, with green plants growing outside, the sun is hanging in the sky, and the weather is fine. Although it was close to the evening, the light was still very strong, and it was even hot.

However, inside this dividing line, the ground instantly turned into a brown-red mud, as if the mud stirred by plasma had re-solidified. The plants on the ground all appear a kind of grayish white that has faded in half, which looks a bit like a long-time pencil sketch. The sun in the sky is still there, but the intensity of the light is like the environment seen with dark sunglasses, and it is gloomy, with a cold feeling. Coupled with the fog blocking the view, this is the rhythm of the ghost village ghost house!

To say that the players in the game are afraid of ghosts, this should still be afraid. But in fact, most players are not scared by the so-called ghosts in the game. This is not to say that the ghosts in the game are not powerful enough, in fact the opposite is true. Unlike the ghosts in the legend, which have only one ghost, these ghosts in the game can cause actual damage. According to the legendary level division, this should already be regarded as the level of advanced wraith. However, in fact, the players in the game are rarely scared by these powerful ghosts, because for the players, they are just-monsters.

"Zero" is not a horror game. People's fear of ghosts often comes from the imagination of the unknown, not the actual threat. According to this principle, those ghosts that can see but cannot touch are actually more scary than those that can actually fight you. Once the player has attacked the ghost, they find that they can hurt the opponent. Then fear will drop immediately. And it's very fast. In addition, the fear of ghosts often comes from psychological pressure caused by the environment. Take a simple example. In the same horror movie, one watched in a deserted old house during a thunderstorm night, or at noon in a hot sun. Watch with a large group of people in the downtown square. This feeling of horror will definitely be different. If you watch in the former way. Even if it is a terrible ghost movie, it is estimated that many people can scare many people, even if there are no ghost movies, many people can directly scare. And the latter ... even the world's top ghost films are not scary in this environment.

It is precisely because human fear needs these conditions to inspire, and the ghosts in "Zero" are all classified as undead creatures. In fact, these are monsters used for leveling players, but they have a special shape. Therefore, without the proper atmosphere, these undead creatures, no matter how strange they are, are actually not scary. After all, Zero is a fighting game, not a horror game, and designers have not deliberately created a horror atmosphere from the beginning. In a high visibility environment, even if a large group of players armed with teeth can encounter skeletons, zombies and ghosts, they can scream and rush up to get fat. They will all turn into experience points. In this case, where else? What fear exists?

However, the situation is a little bit more troublesome now. The deserted village in front of me, although it is still uncertain whether there are undead creatures, but at least now the atmosphere is quite scary.

Maybe they haven't noticed by themselves. Since entering the village, the distance between Christina and Gold Coins and the three of them has been getting closer. The distance between the four of us was more than one meter, but now it almost turned into three of them walking next to me. Although their expressions haven't changed much, I know that they are actually scared. This has nothing to do with strength, it is purely an instinctive reaction. Most girls have no resistance to such things, just as women are mostly afraid of bugs.

Although they were a little scared, Kristina did not say it immediately, but they still insisted to go forward with me with a stretched face, and all three of them, except me, had clearly entered the fighting state. . The light blue light on the heavenly sword in the gold coin and the golden light that flashed from time to time on the real red, and the surging magic on Christina told me very clearly that these three strong women are now about to collapsed.

Although it has not been attacked for the time being, I know that if this continues, it will definitely be worse if a battle occurs. In the current situation of these three, as long as there is any wind blowing, they will certainly not hesitate to throw their strongest attack over. So, in order to avoid unnecessary accidents, I must do something in advance.

"Amenis." After summoning Amenis, I pointed directly forward: "Clear the illusions, and help them three to make a visual filter."

Emmys looked in front of her, and then suddenly walked forward two steps with a word in her mouth, and then suddenly stretched out her right hand to point her finger forward, a white aperture rippling from her finger instantly, and this aperture was not There is only one, but with the appearance of the first one, it spreads out at a very rapid rate of three per second. Each of these apertures diffuses out and hits the white mist, and immediately pushes the mist back a certain distance. As the apertures continue to be pushed outward, the mist covering the entire village will soon be wiped out. Pushing it out, the visibility returned to the normal state in an instant, but the sun was still so dead and dead as if the sun was about to go out.

With the increase of visibility, Christina's expressions of the three of them began to ease obviously, and they seemed to have just discovered their disorder, and were very surprised to put away their power.

After Emmys successfully expelled the fog, she turned her head and said to Christina: "Don't resist, I'll just help you add a visual filter."

The so-called visual filtering is an illusion. Just different from ordinary illusions. The ordinary illusion is added to the target object, which has the effect of confusing the enemy, and this illusion is added to the eyes of one's own person. The purpose is to make the vision of his own person to make some adjustments according to his needs. For example, if fighting in a completely dark environment, I can ask Emmys to add this visual filter to my unit, and then share my perfect dark vision into the visual filter of the other party so that the other party sees The picture that I saw was transformed through the picture that I saw through my eyes, which is equivalent to indirectly sharing dark vision.

In fact, there are many other uses of this skill besides night vision. For example, this method we are using is one of them. The effect is to disrupt the environment variables. Modify environmental atmosphere information.

Kristina had a sense of fear because of her surroundings, so Amenis added a visual effect filter to her. After this filtering was added, the sky that Christina saw returned to the sun, and the colors of the plants and ground returned to normal. Of course, these are not facts. It was through that visual filtering that visual effects were processed on what Christina actually saw. Make what you see become what it is now.

Immediately after being modified by the visual effects, Christina and Gold Coin returned to normal. Interference with these things is equivalent to losing all the surrounding atmosphere in the ghost movie. Although the ghost movie is still the ghost movie, it is like watching a ghost movie in the square. No more scary.

"Huh, it feels so much better." Because the atmosphere was getting more and more depressed before, none of the three of them noticed that their chats were getting less and less. In the end, everyone was quiet, paying attention to the people around them. The environment, I was afraid that something suddenly popped out from some place to scare myself. Of course, even if something really pops up, it is estimated that with their three strengths, they will slap themselves to death, but before they really appeared, they were scared by their imagination.

Without those terrifying atmospheres, a few of our actions quickly rose, anyway, the line of sight has been restored, and our strength is here again, and we are not worried about any problems.

The player said that the mission was in the middle of the village, so we didn't stop, we trot all the way to the center of the village. This mountain village was originally small. The center of the village was just a small square of more than 200 square meters, and the central location was occupied by a large well.

This well is slightly different from the open wells that we commonly use. This is an outdoor well. The wellhead is surrounded by a black stone to the edge of the well at the knee level. There is also a well above the wellhead. Hand lift the jack with a rope tied to it and hang a bucket. This rope reel has a shed roof, which is larger than the wellhead. It is made entirely of wood, but it is obviously very shabby and sparse like ribs.

As soon as we got here, we saw the player who found the mission. At this moment, this guy was squatting alone on the edge of the well and looked around nervously, and when we appeared we immediately ran over. Obviously he was scared alone here before, but this place has no horrible monsters except for the terrible atmosphere. Naturally, it will not cause any actual damage. However, the more this situation is no longer the more scary, this guy can be considered to be very good willpower.

"Where is the mission?"

"It's inside." The player pointed to a house next to it, and then said, "The only living person in it is the person who posted the mission. What, president, since you are here, then I will go first. This ghost I can't stay there for a minute! "

I nodded and said, "It's okay, you can stick to it until now. The army of gods has given you a 500-point guild contribution, so you go back first."

After thanking the member for a while, no matter whether it was wasted or not, he directly launched a scroll back to the city and flashed people. He didn't want to stay in such a ghost place for a second.

After the player teleported away, the four of us walked towards the house he was pointing at. This is a Japanese-style wooden house. The ground is higher than the outside. It is supported by a lot of wooden piles below. The floor of the room is actually more than a foot above the ground.

Anyway, there aren't many people here, and we don't talk about any rules, we just went to the corridor outside the house wearing shoes. I was at the front, opened the front door with a handful, and immediately was almost smashed by a revenge smell.

This room is much darker than the outside. There is almost no furniture in the small house area, and the opposite wall has collapsed more than half. There is nothing to see from the front and almost ruins from the back.

Although this house is actually not much different from the ruins, there really is someone in it, but this person ... is not much different from a ghost.

There were five people in the room, but at this time four of them were turned into corpses. One of them was on the left side of the gate, hung by a rope and hung on the beam of the room, his eyes widened, his tongue stuck out, and his body began to swell and ulcerate, apparently for some days, the smell Mostly it is issued by it.

In addition to the one hanging at the door, there were three corpses on the floor of the room. One of them should be a pair of mother and child, huddled together in the corner, but now there is only a pile of rotten meat and bones left ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ basically no human, if not the bones are still there I don't even have a way to tell what it is.

The last body fell in the center of the room. It didn't seem to die for a long time. It seemed to be suicide, and the method used was the most common caesarean suicide in Japan. The guy's hand also held the handle of the long knife that was worn in the abdominal cavity.

In addition to the four bodies, there is still a living person, but if no one said, most people would regard this as a body at first glance. As for the reason ... Is it strange that a skinned skeleton is considered a corpse?

It can be seen from the clothing and hairstyle that this last living person is a female and not very old, but at this moment I feel that this is just a skull with a layer of human skin, which is really nothing to do with the girl.

Hearing the sound of our door opening, the girl skeleton immediately turned her eyes, and I immediately took the initiative to see the reaction of the other party. The other party whispered very slowly after I approached: "You are here at last. I thought I couldn't keep you from coming! I beg you to help us poor people and relieve our suffering. Come on! "

"We are like helping you, but what happened to you? How can we help?" (To be continued ...)
