Chapter 442 Extraordinary Game? (Two in One)

The Nagalfar is about twenty meters long and has a gigantic figurehead of a Gorgon. Its flagpole is rotten, and the sails are as tattered as a tramp's underwear. It is very doubtful whether the ship will sink into the sea in the next second.

It is especially worth mentioning that the entire ship of the Nagelfar is shrouded in a layer of fog, and only the outer outline can be seen, and nothing on the ship can be seen.

Most people would not dare to board this kind of boat, but Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were also awakened people who were used to the wind and waves, so naturally they would not feel afraid.

Taking advantage of the high tide, the Nagalfar docked, and a layer of pedals was laid in the mist.

The waves caressed the earth gently, except for the sound of wind and waves, there was no human voice.

This scene is a bit frightening.

Bai Xiaowen held Li Shuyi's hand and walked on the pedal calmly.

The two passed through a layer of fog and came to the boat.

"This boat is as dilapidated as I imagined." Li Shuyi whispered. Indeed, even the planks of the ship were dark and damp, as if soaked in water for a long time.

Bai Xiaowen frowned, watching the sailors going back and forth on the boat.

Sailors come from different races, mainly humans and snake people. According to the history of the Kuroshio Plane that Bai Xiaowen has consulted, humans and snake people are in an antagonistic relationship. Unexpectedly, on this ship, they live in harmony and become crew members.

Moreover, the appearance of these sailors is also a bit strange. Many people's skin is dead white, with a slight swelling and wrinkling feeling, as if they have been soaked in water for a long time. There are still some shells, seaweed and other things hanging from their shoulders and ears.

Bai Xiaowen squinted his eyes. He thought of a pirate movie he had seen in another time and space. There was a ghost ship in it, which was exactly the same as this ship and its crew.

A human-shaped sailor happened to pass by, and Bai Xiaowen patted his shoulder lightly: "Hey buddy, where is this ship heading?"

The human sailor turned his head.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were both surprised.

The pupils of the sailor's eyes were hollow and loose, not like the eyes of a living person at all! He was patted on the shoulder by Bai Xiaowen and turned his head. It was just an instinctive reaction. When he opened his mouth, sea water mixed with saliva flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

After turning his head instinctively, the sailor turned his head back somewhat mechanically and continued to work.

"A dead body?" Li Shuyi's ponytail was about to stand up.

"The ferry that shuttles between Yin and Yang..." Bai Xiaowen looked at the words on the invitation letter of the abyss party, and said thoughtfully, "It's not surprising that there are such sailors... Let's first see what clues are on this ship. "

After Bai Xiaowen finished speaking, he walked towards the statue of the Gorgon at the bow. He had already discovered that in front of the statue of the banshee, there was a row of rectangular boxes standing upright, like coffins standing up. Moreover, there were two tall dead sailors standing in front of the box, who seemed to be guards.

However, when Bai Xiaowen stepped onto the gangway at the bow, he was stopped. A dead sailor stopped in front of the two with a blank expression.

Prompt information on the rules of the spirit world:

"Warning: The Nagelfar has set sail. Any guests who do not abide by the rules of the game will be thrown into the sea and lose their qualifications to participate in the Abyss Party."

"It seems that the rules of the spirit world do not allow us to pry into the secrets of this ship," Bai Xiaowen said, "I checked these dead sailors with the insight talent. I suspect that there must be a secret in the vertical coffin in front of the figurehead."

Li Shuyi said: "Since the rules of the spirit world have issued a warning, let's be patient for a while. Wait until the main task is triggered."

After Bai Xiaowen used the invitation letter, he did not immediately trigger the second main task, but gave the code word to go to Yexiao Wharf to take a boat. According to Bai Xiaowen's speculation, the second main task should not be triggered until reaching the target area.

In other words, it is still within the free exploration time brought by the first mainline task,

Before accepting the second main line task, both of them were safe.

The Nagalfar is like a ghost, sailing silently on the black sea.

After driving for about an hour, the fog in front of us dispersed, and the field of vision suddenly became empty. The ocean under the dawn light is quiet and vast, with the same color of water and sky.

"Look!" Li Shuyi suddenly exclaimed, "What is that?"

On the surface of the sea ahead, the current suddenly became turbulent, forming a huge vortex with a diameter of a thousand meters! As for the Nagelfar, it drove straight towards the maelstrom.

Prompt information on the rules of the spirit world:

"You have come to the target sea area: Shimmer Abyss."

"[Main quest: The Secret of the Lark Labyrinth] is open."

"【Mission Objective: Open the central secret room of the hidden shadow maze and get the tablet of prophecy.】"

"[Task Difficulty: The data is in disorder, unable to calculate]"

"[Task deadline: data disorder, unable to calculate]"

"[Task Reward: The data is in disorder, unable to calculate]"

Before Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi could recover, another prompt message suddenly appeared:

"[Main Mission: Extraordinary Game] is on."

"[Mission Objective: Join the guardian sect/defiler camp and win the Extraordinary game.]"

"【Mission Difficulty: S】"

"[Task period: 10 days]"

"[Task Reward: The number of times the wishing pool is used *1.]"

"How could there be two main quests at the same time?" Li Shuyi said in amazement, "And...the two main quests are very weird. Which one should I choose?"

"These two main quests should not conflict, and there is no option to choose between the two!" Bai Xiaowen said with a frown, "Compared to this, I think the latter main quest is a bit weirder. What do you think of 'the number of times the wishing pool is used'? All--"

Suddenly, the statue of the Gorgon at the bow of the ship emitted a strange purple light.

For a moment, Bai Xiaowen had a feeling of his soul leaving his body, as if there was a strong attraction that forcibly pulled his consciousness out of his body.

Prompt information on the rules of the spirit world:

"You have been affected by the gaze of the abyss, the judgment of will failed, and the soul consciousness is being stripped..."

At the same time, Bai Xiaowen's left eye felt a sharp pain, and the red light in his eye suddenly became hot, like a magic pupil burning with flames!

"Unknown factor interference, data disorder..."

"Interference from unknown factors will deduct 100,000 power points, and you can get rid of the influence of the abyss gaze and leave the world of the Kuroshio plane. Yes/No?"

Bai Xiaowen gritted his teeth, looked at Li Shuyi at the side, and used insight.

Li Shuyi stood at the bow of the boat like a wooden stake. Her appearance was still beautiful, but her pupils had lost their spirit, like a white jade statue.

Behind Li Shuyi's name, a state suddenly appeared - separation of soul and body.

[Separation of soul and body: The target is in a state of suspended animation, which will last for seven natural days. After the state of suspended animation ends, if the soul consciousness does not return to the body, it will die directly. 】

"Hold……"

Bai Xiaowen's facial muscles twitched, he forced himself to calm down, and refocused his gaze on the two main quest options, thinking about this situation and the strangeness of the two main quests.

One-tenth of a second later, Bai Xiaowen's consciousness was focused on the option of the previous spirit world rule prompt message "Deduct 100,000 power points and leave the world of the Kuroshio Plane", and directly chose No!

He took a deep breath, raised his slightly trembling left hand, and covered his left eye.

His right eye was fixed on the figure of the Gorgon ship's head exuding a strange red light, and the terrifying feeling of stripping the soul emerged again.

Bai Xiaowen spat out the last two words in a low voice that seemed to be whispering:

"bring it on……"

Bai Xiaowen's soul was instantly stripped out. At the last moment, he "saw" that two dead sailors opened the vertical coffin lid and stuffed his and Li Shuyi's bodies into the coffin.

The field of vision quickly zoomed out, and the Nagelfar suddenly plunged into the depths of the maelstrom.

...

When Bai Xiaowen woke up again, he found at first sight that he was in a grand hall.

Looking up, I saw a golden dome, a chain hanging down, and candles swaying gently above my head.

In the center of the hall was a huge round table, including Bai Xiaowen, a total of twelve people wearing black cloaks sat around the round table. Right behind each person, there is a vertical coffin with animal reliefs engraved on it, including chickens, dogs, monkeys and pigs, and so on.

In the center of the giant round table is a clear pool. There are pieces of colorful stones in the pool. The faint rays of light reflected form a rainbow through the pool water, which is faintly visible.

Bai Xiaowen checked his status for the first time. He tried to open the property panel, but got a prompt:

"You are in a state of soul separation and cannot open the property panel."

Bai Xiaowen was not discouraged, he looked through the latest reminders of the rules of the spirit world.

"You have been affected by the gaze of the abyss, and your soul and body are separated. In the state of soul and body separation, you cannot attack, use skills or props. Please return to your body within seven natural days. If you expire, you will die directly."

"You have entered the Twilight Abyss: Shulker Labyrinth."

"You automatically accepted the main mission: The Extraordinary Game."

Bai Xiaowen quickly checked the mission information and found that only one of the two mainline missions that were triggered was automatically accepted, while the other mission "Secret of the Lark Labyrinth" was still unaccepted. It will disappear in a few minutes.

Bai Xiaowen's conscious choice to accept the main task "Secret of the Lark Labyrinth".

After finishing this step, Bai Xiaowen raised his head and glanced at the other eleven men in black robes and cloaks who were exactly like him sitting at the round table in the hall.

When he saw a man in a black robe and cloak on the opposite side, Bai Xiaowen suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, and he could clearly feel that it was Li Shuyi. In other words, it was Li Shuyi's soul.

On the back of Li Shuyi, the coffin is embossed with a pattern of a mouse and a Roman numeral "1".

Bai Xiaowen looked back, the relief of the coffin behind him was a sheep pattern, and the Roman numeral was "8".

Suddenly, a white ray of light rose from the center of the round table. Along with this ray of light, a loud voice echoed in the hall:

"The awakening should have been successful. Welcome to the abyss party and participate in the extraordinary game."

"Whoever wins the game, everyone will have a chance to use the wishing pool."

"Most of you have gone through multiple rounds of elimination before sitting here for the final battle. You should be very clear about the rules of the extraordinary game."

"Of course, for the sake of fairness, I will transmit the specific rules of the extraordinary game into your consciousness."

A stream of information flooded into Bai Xiaowen's mind. The expression on Bai Xiaowen's face covered by the cloak quickly became more exciting.

This extraordinary game is called "Resurrecting the Dragon".

The first is the background of the game.

Long, long ago, under the protection of the guardian dragon, the world was peaceful. People worshiped the guardian dragon and established a "guardian sect".

Later, the guardian dragon fell and the devil invaded. A devil who can take the shape of a human and is good at sowing discord, quickly plunged the mainland into flames of war.

Believers and priests of the guardian sect, holding the dragon's relics, have gone through hardships to the Shulker Labyrinth, preparing to perform a sacred ceremony to resurrect the guardian dragon. If the dragon is resurrected, the devil will face annihilation.

However, the secret operation of the guardian sect was noticed by the devil and mixed into the team. If the resurrection ceremony is interfered by the devil, not only will the ceremony fail, but the devil will desecrate the remains of the guardian dragon and absorb the power of the guardian dragon, and there will be no hope for the mainland.

Therefore, the guardian sect must first find out and eliminate all the blasphemers—that is, the devil, before they can perform the sacred ceremony. Translated in game terms, the victory condition for the "guardian camp" is to eliminate all "defilers".

However, the ritual of resurrecting the dragon requires at least one priest to guide and an ordinary believer to provide pure power of faith to complete. If all the priests die, or all the ordinary believers die, the dragon resurrection ceremony will be declared impossible, and the devil will desecrate the remains of the guardian dragon—in other words, the victory condition of the "desecrated camp" is to destroy all priests, or destroy All lay believers.

The game is divided into "Night" and "Day".

The night is the home field of the desecrated camp. Every night, the defilers can gather to discuss and kill a team member (including the desecrator's suicide is also possible).

The daytime is the home field of the guardian camp. Every daytime, everyone in the team gathers together, takes turns to speak and discuss, and votes for a suspicious member to be eliminated.

What needs to be explained is that the good people who guard the camp only know their identities, not each other. This also gives the devil room to fish in troubled waters, and even to sow dissension and frame up. The one who votes to be eliminated during the day may be a "good guy" who guards the camp.

"This extraordinary game... so familiar?"
