Chapter 545
"Meow~"
Chocolate also stretched his head to look at the small piece of paper in Jenkins' hand. Even though Jenkins thought it was illiterate, the cat was still interested in it.
Jenkins tried to suppress the twitching of his mouth, and then observed that the friends who got their respective characters all showed something wrong. So he coughed and asked:
"So, you got the character cards of acquaintances, right?"
No one spoke, which meant tacit consent. Jenkins did not take the initiative to show the information he got, but looked at Hathaway, who was the convener of this meeting.
Hathaway was silent for a long time before telling everyone the information in her hand:
"The character I got is Jenkins Williamette, the famous writer. I am his...reader, and I like his books very much."
This result surprised Jenkins more than Jenkins got Britney. He restrained his doubts and worries in his heart, and was more curious about what was written on Hathaway's card, which should list basic personal information, that is, skills that can be used in the game, such as archaeology.
Then, Mr. Hood claimed that he got his former admirer, the daughter of a certain merchant; Miss Magic said that she got a companion she met when traveling ten years ago, a noble lady of the Kingdom of Cheslan, who had the title of Viscount; Mr. White Cat explained awkwardly that he got an acquaintance from his youth, who was now a sailor; and Jenkins told everyone that he got a frequent customer of the bakery he invested in, the noble lady Bryony Michael.
Needless to say, the five people knew that everyone was lying. But because they were also lying, they kept a tacit understanding and did not ask for the specific information of the five characters.
"Then let the game begin."
Hathaway's voice was so low that Jenkins was really worried that she would faint suddenly. Everyone put the metal pieces and rule books in their hands on the right hand side, which meant that the preparation stage was over. With their actions, the louder sound of gears and pistons appeared under the table.
Countless square lines suddenly appeared on the flat tabletop, but a closer look revealed that the table was originally made of square wooden blocks, but they were too tightly connected to make it impossible to see the seams.
The wooden blocks that made up the tabletop rose and fell, and finally formed a panoramic view of the abandoned hospital that Jenkins was somewhat familiar with. When the scene froze, five puppets rose from under the tabletop and appeared at the main entrance of the hospital.
The locked iron gate blocked the place, and Jenkins and the professor had never entered from this position.
No one spoke, and they were all waiting quietly. After a while, there was an unusual noise in the corner beside the door, and then the ground seemed to open a trap door, and a middle-aged man wearing a simple hospital gown and with pale skin who didn't look like a living person crawled out.
"Hello everyone, I am the host of this game."
He smiled stiffly at everyone, revealing his mouth with many missing teeth. His voice was hoarse and made people's scalps numb, but what made Jenkins' scalp numb even more was what he said when he sat on the empty chair:
"During the game, you can call me 'Mr. Corpse'. Now, the game begins!"
Jenkins had to try hard to restrain his expression and movements. He recognized who Mr. Corpse was when he crawled out of the "underground". When Mr. Corpse sat opposite him, he almost took out his sword and slashed him.
Although the two had no grudges, Jenkins knew how weird this eighth-level demigod was. He thought he had come into contact with all the weird performances of Mr. Corpse, but he didn't expect that the other party still gave him such a "surprise".
He even felt that his breathing was not stable. He couldn't guess that Mr. Corpse originally belonged to B-11-1-0299 [Story in the Story], or used his own power to invade this Class B event.
No matter which possibility it was, it was quite terrible.
"May the sage bless me, and your light illuminate my way forward."
Since he was promoted to level five, Jenkins has not been so nervous for a long time. His companions were unaware, but he knew very well that this adventure was definitely not that simple.
"Please wait, Mr. Corpse."
Mr. Hood suddenly said, interrupting Jenkins' inner struggle, and he raised a very important question:
"Since this story takes place in the real Nolan, the characters are all real, and even the date is today, then the characters we control will not really appear at the door of the so-called abandoned hospital, right?"
He asked this, his tone was very worried.
Jenkins had such doubts at the beginning, but now he is sure that the real characters should not appear in the hospital at the same time. Because he is sitting here now, instead of being moved to the door of the hospital.
"No, of course not."
Mr. Corpse's voice was still so uncomfortable. He looked at Mr. Hood expressionlessly, and the latter subconsciously shrank his neck:
"Real characters do not participate in the game, nor do they have any memories related to it. But in this story, the final fate of the characters you control at the end of the story will actually appear on the controlled person after the game ends."
"That is to say, once the character dies..."
Heather asked.
"Yes, the real character also died."
Mr. Corpse replied that Jenkins was really worried that Hathaway would faint, because in her opinion, Brienne was under the control of Mr. Candle, a stranger.
Jenkins is also worried about Bryony. He doesn't know what will happen in a while. He just hopes that he is lucky enough or that the "Jenkins Willamt" manipulated by Hathaway is strong enough.
Chapter 1328 Chapter 1305 Pathfinding
"But that's not fair, why..."
"There is nothing unfair. There is never a free lunch in this world. Moreover, these are the rules. I am just the host. It is useless for you to protest to me."
Mr. Corpse interrupted Mr. White Cat’s questioning, his cloudy eyes looked at the hospital scene on the table, and then pointed at the five statues at the entrance of the hospital.
"The story officially begins, and there are many ways to end the story. It depends on your exploration and discovery. But now, the writer, the sailor, the merchant's daughter, the noble girl and the foreign lady have arrived at the door of the hospital and found that the iron The door was tied with iron ropes and secured with locks.
You can't break the gate or the lock, because you are just explorers, not robbers. So now please look for your way into the hospital. Please speak..."
Because everyone has read the rule book, they also know what the so-called speaking means. The five people looked at the scenery on the table quietly for a while, and found that a thin layer of white mist had enveloped the scenery at some point. This is the fog from the steam machinery under the table rising above the table, but in reality, the fog also exists in the hospital.
"Can the explorers please leave here now and go home to sleep?"
Hathaway was the first to ask.
"Of course not. This is an escape game and is not allowed."
Mr. Corpse replied.
"Then can we just climb over the wall and get in?"
Mr. Hood asked the second question, "I don't think the wall is very high."
"The writer and the sailor are allowed, but not the other three ladies in skirts. Of course, if you don't mind moving separately..."
"No, we are not separated."
Mr. White Cat spoke his mind for everyone, and then took his silver metal, which was the character card, and said:
"I am manipulating my childhood playmate, a sailor. In his life experience, he has the ability to [find paths]."
Then he picked up the two heavy dice.
"Your sailor's [Pathfinding] ability is 50. If you throw a value below 50, you can successfully find a way in."
Mr. Corpse looked at him and said that although this man looked like a corpse, he could still make a gesture of touching his chin, and Jenkins only felt a chill.
The dice is rolled and the value is 63. The statue representing the sailor on the chessboard walked around the door a few times as if it was alive, and finally came back. It stood at the door and kept scratching its head and ears. Of course, the other four statues are still dead objects in fixed poses.
Mr. White Cat clicked his tongue and said nothing.
"My former admirer, the businessman's daughter, also has the ability to find paths."
Mr. Hood bent down and picked up the dice, but the merchant's daughter's pathfinding abilities were even lower and he failed.
The statue representing the merchant's daughter stopped at the door and looked left and right. This was the second statue that came to life.
"It's a pity, this time it's just a little bit worse. Just a reminder, don't stay outside for too long. There are wild beasts in the wild at night."
Mr. Corpse said in a chilling voice. As soon as he finished speaking, Hathaway's voice sounded:
"My manipulative character, Jenkins Willamette..."
"He has no wayfinding skills."
Mr. Corpse pointed out that he seemed to know the specific contents of the character cards in each person's hands.
"Yes, he has no pathfinding ability, but according to this character card, he usually takes his cat Chocolate with him when traveling."
Everyone looked at Miss Bai Ling, wondering what she would say.
"Since the cat also follows James... and also follows Williamt, can I control Williamt and let Williamt order the cat to find a way? On Williamt's character card, there is a clear [Cat Training] ability.”
After a few seconds of silence, Mr. Corpse nodded silently. As for the expression on the table, a wood-carved kitten sprang out from the white mist at the edge of the table. When it came into contact with the Jenkins wood sculpture at the entrance of the hospital, the wood sculpture also came to life.
The real chocolate lying on the table stared at this scene with wide eyes.
The two wooden sculptures played intimately for a while, and Hathaway rolled two dice.
"The numerical value of Williamt's cat training ability is."
she said.
Jenkins guessed that most people present would guess whether he had an inappropriate relationship with the cat. He felt that he had been wronged and that his ability to train cats should not be that strong.
This special ability was written on the character card, and Jenkins was really worried about how many of his secrets were on that character card.
"Although the cat training is successful, William's cat may not be able to find another entrance, so you still need to add a value to his lucky throw."
Mr. Corpse reminded, and then said: "And William's luck value is extremely low, only 3."
Of course Hathaway knew this, but she still rolled the dice silently, and the result happened to be 03.
Jenkins heard her distinct sigh and the murmurs of thankfulness from his friends. He no longer knew what to say. He could only watch the five wooden sculptures that came to life follow the wooden cat wagging its tail and leave the door that could not be opened.
After walking along the rusty iron fence in the grass for a while, I saw a gap. Without any instructions from the players, a group of five people and one cat entered the courtyard of the hospital.
"Five adventurous friends entered the hospital through the gap in the fence, and were frightened by the desolate and weird atmosphere in the hospital. From now on, the results of all ability rolls of the noble girl and the merchant's daughter will automatically increase by 10. If the roll is If the number exceeds 100, something unexpected will happen in the story.”
Mr. Corpse announced, Jenkins and Mr. Hood looked at each other, this time it was the two of them who were unlucky.
Before Mr. Corpse announced the next direction of the story, Mr. White Cat, who finally experienced some gameplay, spoke in advance, which bought everyone some time:
"Now that we have entered the hospital, the five friends might as well discuss their knowledge of this hospital. I think since we have come here to take risks, we will more or less look for some information in advance."
What he said immediately reminded everyone, so Miss Magic first said:
"My friend from ten years ago, although she is a baroness from a foreign country, has lived in Nolan for many years. She probably knows some of the history around Nolan."
Mr. Corpse glanced at Mr. White Cat and nodded:
"The character card doesn't mention this, but it seems to be judged to be true. In this case, the character card has the ability to update."
The secret grid on everyone's left hand side was opened again, and there was indeed a lot more content on the newly appeared silver metal piece.
PS: Don’t complain about why you risk wearing a skirt. If you have any questions, you can search for information by yourself using [Western women] and [Pants].
Ling: Although it seems to be a COC running group, the rules are not the same at all, so don’t follow the rules and say, “Why is this happening? This is not right.”
Chapter 1329 Chapter 1306 Nolan Rumors and Folklore
"I use the [Nolan Common Sense] ability of the Dame (writer/noble lady/sailor/businessman's daughter)."
The five people who got the new character cards said separately, but in the end only the Merchant's Daughter and the Sailor's throw passed, and finally got this message:
"The businessman's daughter heard about this abandoned hospital from her father, the stingy big businessman. The businessman didn't know why it was abandoned. He just heard that many people died here due to accidents more than ten years ago. people."
"The sailor often hangs out in docks and slums. He has heard rumors that there are countless ghosts and resentments wandering in this abandoned hospital, and night is their time."
Mr. Corpse told everyone the information, and Mr. Hood hurriedly said without waiting for him to announce the next step:
"In this case, the story this time is very clear. Investigate the reason why this place was abandoned. Everyone, before starting the next operation, I would like to ask, do you know the real hospital Nolan has?"
"Don't exchange off-site information at will. This will ruin the fun of the game. The merchant's daughter gives you a warning. Next time you use skills, the value will be increased by 5."
Mr. Corpse said, and then looked into everyone's eyes one by one. Seeing that everyone was silent, he wanted to continue the story:
"Wait a minute, Williamte still has abilities to use."
Hathaway suddenly said:
"But his [Nolan Common Sense] has failed. According to the rules, except for special action rounds, the same ability cannot be used continuously."
"Yes, but he is a writer. In the background introduction, because he collects rumors to enrich his books, he has the ability of [Folklore and Rumors]. William used this ability to find out his knowledge of this hospital. memory."
Since Jenkins's identity as a writer all comes from past memories, his [Folklore and Rumor] ability is very low, only 24. But even so, Hathaway still passed, and I don’t know whose luck played a role.
"Through his memories, the young writer thought of the information he accidentally discovered while collecting materials. Since the summer fourteen years ago, malice has filled this formerly glorious private hospital. Due to various strange accidents, people in the hospital have become... The death rate continued to increase. When the municipal government decided to abolish this place, the strangeness of the hospital even spread outwards. As a last resort, the Orthodox Church intervened and completely abandoned the hospital after it was determined that it could not be dealt with. "
There was quite a bit of information, and that was all Jenkins learned from the old elf. He had some doubts that the reason why Mr. Corpse read out these contents was because "Jenkins" himself only knew this.
If you think about it this way, Jenkins is very curious about what is on the character card in Hathaway's hand. Of course, rather than being curious, he was more worried about the safety of Britney in his hands. He was not good at this kind of game.
After Mr. Corpse finished speaking about the information, the five people present looked at each other. Miss Magic asked softly:
"Mr. Silver Flute, does that writer have any other useful skills?"
So far, the character of the writer has played an unexpected role twice.
"No more, he is just an ordinary writer."
Hathaway replied, then looked up and motioned for Mr. Corpse to continue speaking.
