Chapter 498

Chapter 48: The situation of Moyu Gang and historians and the issue of day and night alternation

The forty-three players who arrived at [Lijia Village] have now all settled down, temporarily staying in the homes of various villagers in one or more teams. Of course, considering that the animals in this village are not normal, these players choose houses that do not have animals such as chickens, ducks, and dogs.

According to the strange rules created by the villagers in the original game, these players who live in the houses will become players who have received [favor], and therefore can be easily controlled. But now Gao Hai has occupied this village and turned Lijia Village into Gao Laozhuang... Bah, Gaojia Village. Therefore, all the [favors] of these players were directed towards Gao Hai. It can be said that as long as Gao Hai is willing, he can order these players to do anything at will. Even if the content of the order goes against the players' original intentions, their bodies will forcefully cooperate with Gao Hai's thoughts.

From the perspective of the book, this seems to be an interesting idea that can expand dozens of pages of various gameplays. But Gao Hai is a gentleman, and he will not use the convenience brought by such weird rules to torment other players, so he just suppresses this matter and pretends not to know, so that when it is really needed, he may be able to use it to a great extent. effect.

"I see, are you the Gao Hai that Xiong Mi mentioned? My name is Mao Busi. I should be older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Mao. Can the Moyu Gang survive this recent crisis? We have regained our combat effectiveness and welcomed back many old players. It would be impossible to do this without your help. So, we will fully assist you in this dungeon investigation. If you need anything, just come. Please let me do it.”

In a mud house, with the help of [teacher] as a communicator, Gao Hai and Brother Mao once again communicated with each other and reached a happy cooperation agreement.

Different from the previous Chen Qiucai who looked at something wrong, these three players from the Moyu Gang are typical conscientious teammates who look at it from top to bottom from beginning to end and don't have to worry about being cheated. In movies and animations, they usually only appear in the first three episodes. They take good care of the protagonist and then rush to the street at the speed of light to protect the protagonist or show a certain belief, and then the protagonist inherits the will and equipment.

Well... speaking of it this way, Sister Xiong Mi actually has this kind of demeanor, and she even died for the team several times. If there hadn't been a rewind to bring her back, even if she was rescued in the Touka Middle School dungeon, it felt like she wouldn't be able to survive a few dungeons.

Thinking that the first doll he unblocked in Tenghua Middle School was the reliable elder sister Xiong Mi, Gao Hai couldn't help but sigh for his luck in getting three gold medals out of ten.

Then, considering that Moyu Gang is a team of veteran players and should be considered well-informed, Gao Hai asked about Chen Qiucai. This guy who took the initiative to find Gao Hai and wanted to cooperate always made Gao Hai feel that something was wrong, so he wondered if the Moyu Gang could identify who the other party was.

"Chen Qiucai? I have never heard of this name. The Moyu Gang has basically contacted every Red Moon-level player team around the world. When I came into this village, I also met an acquaintance from another Red Moon-level team. But the name Chen Qiucai I'm pretty sure I've never heard of it, well...either this name is a pseudonym for disguise, or this name is cursed so that players won't remember who the corresponding person is, or this guy is very good at hiding himself. Guy, so even if you have become a Red Moon-level player, no one knows him or has survived after knowing him.”

"But our [Taoist] here can use methods similar to prophecy and divination. If Mr. Gao can get Chen Qiucai's personal belongings, such as pieces of clothes or hair, he can try to help you. Although we can’t estimate the specific situation of that person very accurately, we can at least know whether he is a normal person or a lunatic and will do anything detrimental to us.”

After listening to what Gao Hai expressed through [Teacher], Brother Cat pointed at the pale [Taoist Priest] Li Nianyou not far away.

This man, whose real name is Li Nianyou and whose nickname is Taoist priest, doesn’t know what’s going on. Although Gao Hai has been chatting with Brother Mao through [Teacher] for a long time, he is still waving his fingers and mumbling. He makes all kinds of weird movements, giving people the feeling of being nervous after taking the wrong medicine.

"Brother Cat, I have calculated it several times, but I still can only calculate that we all died in the dungeon, and each death is more miserable than the other. Brother Cat, you are still the worst, with cramps and bones pulled out, life is worse than death." It’s law…”

Then, when the man's expression suddenly changed, he looked at Brother Cat and [Teacher] seriously and spoke, Gao Hai was sure that this Taoist priest was probably seriously ill. Having said that, it seems that I heard this person say similar things in the previous two weeks? And then the three Moyu Gang players in the first two weeks did indeed send... Well, is it possible that he really has the ability to be a prophet?

"Can you please stop talking about the situation you calculated? We have all entered the dungeon. Can you say something positive?"

The last of the three players in the Moyu Gang, Guo Hang, who is just a junior this year, has a bitter look on his face. Ever since he joined Brother Cat's action team, he had almost never heard any kind words from this Taoist priest. Things like "Your pants will definitely be splashed with mud when you go out today" and "The food served to you by the restaurant where you have dinner today will have a fly hidden in it" are relatively mild situations, while more situations such as " The new player girl you met yesterday will definitely die in the next dungeon, and she will be ripped apart and quartered before she dies." "The veteran Dark Night player who chatted with you the day before yesterday will commit suicide within three months at most. He thinks you "You are a nice person, so I should call you to encourage you before I die" is already a very common situation.

If you just like to say bad things, that's fine. The player base has more or less mental problems. This kind of minor problem that doesn't always find someone to kill is already very good. The problem is that everything this guy says comes true almost every time, and all of them are bad things. Xiao Guo, who has had countless bad things come true after getting along for a while, is really a little numb.

"I'm just talking about the information I interpreted. Death, death, death, all die, everyone must die. I have never seen such a hexagram with no room for redemption. Alas, as expected, I wrote it before entering the copy A good suicide note is the right choice. Although the old Taoist priest may have forgotten who I am by then and doesn’t understand where the money came from, he should still use it well..."

The Taoist priest didn't pay much attention to Xiao Guo's words. He just sighed and talked to himself.

"Brother Cat, look at him again..."

It was obviously not the first time that Xiao Guo was ignored. He felt bitter and could only look at his leader.

"Ahem, that's what's wrong with him. Just bear with it and don't take his words to heart."

Brother Mao coughed slightly in embarrassment, looked at Gao Hai who was watching the show from the [teacher's] perspective, and then comforted Xiao Guo.

Gao Hai didn't say much about the relatively harmonious relationship between this player team. He just asked about the Red Moon-level player team that Brother Cat knew. After roughly confirming the characteristics and personnel of that team, he put his thoughts into [ Take it back from Teacher].

Brother Mao from the Moyu Gang knows another team of Red Moon-level players who entered [Yingting Village]. Their team name is [Historians]. They are a very rare team that does not clear the A-level Red Moon level dungeon. Try It is a player organization that has its own mission to find the legendary final dungeon, but focuses on exploring the hidden characteristics of the Red Moon level dungeon.

The original founder of this player organization believes that those who have reached the Red Moon level may not only have the ability to interfere in the real world. There should be something crucial hidden behind these extremely difficult dungeons. , maybe even related to the source of [Sacrifice Game]. Therefore, the players who established [Historians] decided to conduct a more in-depth investigation into each Red Moon-level dungeon, trying to find out the fragments of past history hidden in these dungeons, so as to find out the source of the strangeness and restore [ The mystery of the birth of the "Sacrifice Game".

To be honest, after knowing what these players were doing, Gao Hai's first reaction was to give up contact with these players and stay as far away from these lunatics as possible in the future.

The first batch of players who established [Historians] have all died, and the original founder of this organization died on the third copy after the organization was established. So far, this Red Moon-level player team, which has been established for nearly a year and a half, has a member replacement rate of 270%. Yes, two batches of old players in this organization have died, and more than 70% of the third batch of players who have inherited the legacy of their predecessors have been updated. Among the Red Moon-level player team, the battle damage and update speed can be said to be top-notch. Even a player club that has suffered a disaster like the Red Club is not qualified to be compared with historians.

But on the other hand, after so many people have died, there are still players who are willing to continue exploring along this path, so that the organization is still completely alive and has not been destroyed, which actually explains a lot of problems. It can only be said that human will and inheritance ability cannot be underestimated, but even so, Gao Hai still doesn't want to come into contact with this group of people.

"There are currently three players from the historian organization who have entered [Yingtiao Village]. I know two of them. One is named Chachai, who is a Tyrande, and the other is named Tangyuan, who is Chinese. They are all pretty good. , although they may be more focused on exploring the secrets inside the dungeon, they will not mess around in this dungeon where the source of the danger is unclear. As long as they communicate well, they should be able to cooperate normally. I don't know the third person. It looks like he is a newcomer. Maybe because they have lost someone, they can only cooperate with those who have just entered the Red Moon level? If you want to communicate with them, I suggest you be careful about the newcomer and be willing to join the history department. Most of the newcomers in the family have serious mental problems, and they may be the kind of idiots who look normal at ordinary times but dare to do anything at critical moments. "

As a collaborator, Brother Mao has a very good attitude towards Gao Hai. Basically, he can give him a detailed and effective answer whenever he asks, and he will also take the initiative to provide some information and suggestions that may be helpful.

Gao Hai decided to contact the three [Historian] players after a while. He still had to fight hard for teammates who could win over them.

As for why we had to wait for a while instead of going to find the three players now, the reason was very simple.

it's dark.

Only an hour or two after entering the dungeon, the sky quickly dimmed. And as the sky gradually darkened, Gao Hai clearly felt some indescribable strange aura, which began to spread step by step throughout the village and throughout the entire copy space.

The world at night is dangerous. You cannot leave the village, you cannot leave the building for too long, you cannot stay in the open space for a long time, and you cannot look up at the sky at this time.

Gao Hai, who has completely memorized the rules handed down from Lijiacun, will not seek death at this time. Therefore, despite some doubts as to why the night came so quickly, Gao Hai, who noticed that some of the hidden rules in the dungeon were changing, quickly took action and took Zhenfei and other girls to hide in the three-story building in the Li family compound. In the main building, multiple obsessive objects were used to block the sound inside the house, cut off the breath inside and outside the house, and strengthen the doors and windows connecting the inside and outside so that things from outside could not easily enter.

For safety reasons, Gao Hai even asked the police officers and firefighters operating outside to find a house to hide in to avoid unnecessary losses.

As for the rescue team member Lao Guo who had been refreshed and resurrected, Gao Hai sent him to an open space outside the gate of the [Li Family Courtyard] and asked him to stand still while looking up at the sky. Gao Hai himself had disconnected the sensory link with Lao Guo at this time, and only judged Lao Guo's general situation based on the power of the rescue team's badge. In this way, Gao Hai can test something safely. As for Lao Guo himself, he has no objection.

{At the end of the week, the sky did not change so fast. There must be some conditions for this, right? }

Through the temporary spiritual link, Kaguya sat on the side of the room and said thoughtfully.

{Well, I think this should be related to the rituals of the mountain gods. The first cycle was not long after Haijun destroyed the God's Festival ceremony with an aerial bomb, and the day and night suddenly changed between [Lijia Village] and [Liujia Village] The state of day and night interchanged with each other, and both sides became a very dangerous state. As for the third episode this time, well... I wonder if it was because after we drove away the villagers, the God's Day ceremony that was supposed to be performed was completely canceled, which led to a more serious reaction? Otherwise, it would get dark so quickly, which would feel a bit unreasonable}

The true concubine was also thinking seriously and quickly gave her thoughts. To be honest, Gao Hai never thought of this at first. It wasn't until Zhen Fei mentioned it that he thought that the Little Black Mountain God's Welcoming Festival ceremony had been directly disrupted by him. At this moment, the villagers of Lijia Village, who were supposed to hold the Neon Olympics opening ceremony program, must have either gone directly to meet the mountain god, or are lying on the couch in that dead village, right?

Tsk, is it possible that we have to find a way to hold the God-Welcoming Festival ceremony? Otherwise, the mountain god of Little Black Mountain will react in some way without seeing the ceremony, causing the day and night switching here to become even more chaotic? If that's the case, it's really not a small problem. It's impossible for these forty players to complete the large-scale ceremony that only hundreds of people can complete during the God's Welcome Festival. Apart from other things, they have no religious belief in the broken stone, and they don't even know the content requirements of the show to be performed. Because Gao Hai on the first day of the week was blown up by an aerial bomb before the ceremony was completed, so now they don't even know the procedures for completing the basic ceremony on the first day of the Welcome Festival.

It's really a very troublesome situation. I obviously want to avoid the mountain god as much as possible and not conflict with that thing head-on, but in the end I still can't get around it?

Gao Hai frowned and thought for a long time. Suddenly, his attention shifted and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the mansion's door.

He could feel that just now, just a moment passed.

Lao Guo, who he placed in the open space outside, died.

Chapter 49: Leisure time and changes in dreams under the dead night

it's getting dark.

In just a few minutes, the originally bright sky dimmed, losing all light and turning into pitch black.

To be honest, the speed of day and night changes far exceeded Gao Hai's expectations. He couldn't help but begin to suspect that the chain reaction caused by clearing out all the villagers in one go and interrupting the God's Festival ceremony might be more violent than he expected.

I hope the blood flower will not be released. If that thing comes out, it will be really doomed.

Thinking like this, Gao Hai raised his head and looked at the paper window on the side of the living room. At this time, he could no longer see any light coming through the window.

The temperature is dropping rapidly, falling below zero in just half an hour, and is still falling further.

There was a clear feeling of pain in the lungs while breathing. Unknowingly, the temperature here dropped to an extremely low temperature that is unbearable for normal people. If the people present were not players, but real ordinary people, Gao Hai estimated that they might all freeze to death before the fire could be raised.

However, such anomalies seem to be just the beginning.

【■■■■■■■■■……】

Feel something.

The air seemed to be getting heavier.

Vaguely, something unusual seemed to begin to spread in the village under the night.

There was dead silence.

He clearly felt something, but Gao Hai clearly felt that the surroundings were completely silent, and he couldn't even feel the breath of a living person.

Those things seemed to be walking, but no matter how hard I listened, I couldn't hear the footsteps.

Those things seem to be just a wisp of drifting breeze, mixed with some kind of secret signal that cannot be discerned by human ears. But as long as you concentrate, you will find that this signal never really appeared from beginning to end. Everything is just your own suspicion. That’s all.

When I noticed it, I realized with some horror that at some point I had begun to imagine that [something] existed outside, and I couldn't help but start thinking about what kind of noise those things made outside the door, and what kind of message they were trying to convey. information, so that I seemed to really feel something.

Ha, it's just a little trick.

Gao Hai remained unmoved, and none of the girls around him who had also experienced more than one adventure fell victim to the attack.

And those players who arrived here after all the originally most troublesome villagers were exiled by Gao Hai and received the intelligence information specially spread by Gao Hai, according to Gao Hai's perception of the land deed, at this time they all honestly Hibernating in the houses they each chose, no one came out to see the night view. In this case, someone might still sense something they shouldn't, but as long as no one leaves the house, it shouldn't be a big problem.

This can be regarded as good news. Players who can enter and exit Dark Night level dungeons must have some awareness no matter what. They cannot be like serious newcomers who refuse to listen and insist on doing something to death.

Gao Hai was very happy that the situation did not happen when he threw the group of JKs into a safe area where there were no monsters during the third round of Tenghua Middle School. After a while, all of them turned into monsters and came to attack him. So he tried to use the power of land deeds to further strengthen the houses in Lijia Village, so that even if a player went crazy and tried to open doors and windows, his companions would have more time to stop them.

Crack - crackle -

The fire in the center of the living room was burning and sputtering.

Because the rules did not emphasize whether a fire could be lit at night, Hayasaka lit a fire in the living room. The source of firewood came from some wooden furniture and calligraphy and paintings in a small room on the side of the living room.

As the flames soared, smoke slowly rose in the direction of the chimney, but did not spread throughout the house.

Before that, Gao Hai had specially inspected the chimney in the house and found that not only had it been deliberately made smaller, but it also had various fine nets and shelves inside. Hmm... it feels like it's to prevent something from getting into the chimney. Is this to prevent something from getting into the house by bypassing the rules? If this is the case, does it mean that the general structure and shape of the thing are not suitable for drilling holes?

While thinking, Gao Hai's eyelids seemed to become somewhat heavy.

"ha……"

He yawned softly, stretched, then changed his position and continued to lie on the blanket on the ground.

In the living room of the main house of [Li Family Courtyard], there are actually quite a lot of various types of furniture, including screens, a large table with a radius of nearly two meters, and various decorative items. Not to mention that it is abnormal for these things to appear in such a closed mountain village with almost zero external communication. Based on Gao Hai's impression of the people in Lijiacun so far, it is impossible for him to use the furniture in the house. On this point, Zhen Fei and others also had the same opinion, so everyone took out the blankets, quilts and pillows stored in the space obsession and spread them on the open space in the middle of the living room along the stove. As for the decorations and furniture of the Li family, they were all thrown into the corner of the room, and no one cared about them.

At this moment, Zhen Fei and Qian Hua were sitting on the side, both of them obviously looking sleepy. Kaguya stood guard on the other side to monitor the situation, and seemed to be in good spirits. Yili fell asleep next to Gao Hai. At this time, she had completely fallen asleep and her breathing became even. Hayasaka stood in front of the fire, fidgeting with the fuel with a small wooden stick from time to time.

"call……"

Gao Hai couldn't help but yawned again.

After using the power of the land deed many times and consuming a large amount of mental power, fatigue came faster than Gao Hai imagined. It's just that this is the first time he has experienced the night stage of [Lijia Village]. Even if everyone else is asleep, Gao Hai can't fall asleep easily, so he continues to hold on to his energy and glances around casually out of boredom.

"Uh...uh uh..."

When he was asleep, Yili turned over and turned to Gao Hai's side. He reached out and hugged his calf, rested his head on his thigh, and continued to sleep with a silly smile on his face.

{This is the sixth girl I hooked up with}

The drowsy real concubine rubbed her eyes, and after seeing this scene, she said in the spiritual link.

{No, no, no, we haven’t hooked up yet, don’t talk nonsense, Yili Lian and I haven’t even kissed yet}

Gao Hai perked up and retorted quickly.

{But this is a matter of time. After all, Ah Hai is really very astringent, and not only is he very astringent, but he is also extremely powerful, and his mobility is very, very scary.}

Hearing this, Qianhua, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly woke up and immediately started commenting sharply in the spiritual link.

{Uh, well, this...}

This sentence was a bit difficult to refute, so Gao Hai could only try his best to show an awkward smile without being rude.

{Okay, okay, don't think too much now, take a good rest, Haijun. Since we have been sitting here for a few hours without encountering any problems, it proves that we are indeed safe in the house and don't need to be too nervous. Take a good rest and maintain a good mental state, we can slowly think about how to rescue classmate Jianzi}

Mahi smiled at Gao Hai and said, then she sat up hesitantly, wanting to get closer but a little embarrassed.

Qianhua moved quickly. After noticing that Mahi was going to act, she took the initiative to get up, dragged the blanket to Gao Hai's side, and lay down with Yili on the left and right, and smiled at Gao Hai "hehe".

Such preemptive behavior obviously made Mahi very angry. She was originally a little hesitant, but she immediately came forward, and then after a little hesitation, she sat directly in Gao Hai's arms, and her whole body lay on his chest.

"..."

Kaguya, who was standing guard not far away, looked at Gao Hai with a faint black face.

Sitting in front of the fire, Hayasaka did not do anything. She just stared at Gao Hai for a while with an expression of watching the fun, and then turned her eyes to the burning flames with some regret.

Now is not a good time to disturb the master. The three girls gathered around him and it was already a bit crowded. If she ran to make trouble again, it would be difficult for her to concentrate on guarding with her possessiveness.

But it was still a bit regrettable. I still have to find a way to get some benefits back later.

Hayasaka, who couldn't help but have some unharmonious thoughts in her heart, turned her head and looked at Gao Hai. At this time, Gao Hai had already laid down on the blanket with the three girls. He didn't do anything bad, just four people hugged each other and slept.

Hmm...

Sure enough, I still feel a little envious. When the master wakes up, he must make up for it.

Thinking of this, Hayasaka signaled Kaguya not far away with his eyes not to stare at Gao Hai anymore, and then turned his attention back to the fire.

Until tonight is over and the light comes again, Hayasaka has to ensure that the fire does not go out. Otherwise, even if the player has extraordinary physical fitness, staying in a low temperature environment below minus 80 degrees Celsius for a long time will still have adverse reactions.

It is really cold here, even colder than when he was in Hayate Elementary School.

Hayasaka exhaled a puff of white smoke and thought in his heart

Why is it so cold?

Guessing the possible reasons, Hayasaka saw that the fire was decreasing, so he picked up a piece of firewood that had been chopped in advance and threw it into the fire.

Compared with the dead silence outside the house, although there was no sound inside the house at this time, the atmosphere seemed peaceful and tranquil, and there was no weird feeling at all.

Is this feeling because they have many companions gathered together to rest at this time, so they can relieve each other's psychological pressure; or is it that the rules of Lijia Village have indeed caused some special changes inside the house, so as long as they stay in the house, they can feel peaceful?
