Chapter 38: Soul Bus (1) Playing NPC

The sound of the engine of the car sounded in my ear, awakened the sleepy Xin Meng, opened her eyes, and suddenly saw the stars, at night?
He stood up and found that he was sitting on an empty platform, the surrounding space was very large, a bit like the train station or subway station, but the platform is relatively low, more like a bus station. He turned to look to his side, where a tall bus stop was standing, with a few cars and passing stations written on it, but no matter how he opened his eyes, it seemed to be covered with a thick fog, as if Covered with frosted glass, each word can only see fuzzy outlines.
"Are you awake?" You Yi's familiar voice sounded behind him. He immediately turned around and found that You Yi was also sitting on the ground, a little further away from him, with four other people lying on the ground with their eyes closed.
Their bodies are as good as ever, and their clothes are intact.
It's like never being hurt.
"This is our next game?" Xin Meng was too lazy to stand up, crawled on the ground with her limbs and used it twice, and came to You Yi. You Yi watched him swaying like a kitten who just learned to walk Nijun could not help but touch his head, "Well."
Xin Meng looked around at the other four people with a sigh of relief, and breathed a sigh of relief. "This time there are no fewer people. It's great!"
"Scared?" You Yi's hand slid onto his shoulder and patted him gently.
Xin Meng thought for a while, "A bit, eating or something, a little disgusting, and the people in our team, it's too bad to die. And even they have eaten ... that ... because the card is here with me , They didn't see it. "
"It has nothing to do with you," You Yi said faintly. "It depends on everyone's way of thinking. Even if I don't see the card, I will not eat their food to avoid the trap. For others, if they ca n’t Analyze the hidden meaning under the information, or not be able to resist the temptation. Even if they get the card, they will still repeat the mistake. "
"Um." Xin Meng nodded, the food in the backpack was enough for them to eat for two or three days, and came to a poor mountain village isolated from the world, but there were so many meat dishes, it was very abnormal in itself. Without that card, he would not touch it because he felt weird.
When two people spoke in a low voice, the other four people woke up one by one. As soon as Xiong Jiabao was awake, he immediately cried, tears and snot wiped his face, and he couldn't speak with a twitch. I patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Brother, it's all my brother, I'm lazy. If you went with you at that time, how could you be given ... by someone ..." Xiong Jiabao cried.
Looking at his appearance, I didn't know he thought he had been given a chrysanthemum.
"Shut up!" Dong Xiu rubbed his temples and stared at Xiong Jiabao fiercely. "You were fainted when you died, but I was bitten alive!"
Li Yougen hugged his arms and hiccups, his teeth trembled, and his eyes were dull. It is estimated that Juner has not returned yet.
Qi Xiaokui sat up quietly, smoothed his messy hair with his hands, and his expression was very calm.
Xin Meng hesitated, walked over and whispered to her, "You were ..."
He pondered what words to ask for the right thing, but unexpectedly Qi Xiaokui told him very easily, "I fell into the water as soon as I entered the game, and was rescued by the villagers, drank the water they handed over, and then Eaten by cutting meat. "
Xin Meng took a nap, it was terrible, even a player died as soon as he entered the game!
The villagers lied to them. Qi Xiaokui didn't die a year ago. The coffin was so new because it was just made, and the bones were left because the meat was ...
Xin Meng couldn't think of it anymore. He didn't dare to ask Qi Xiaokui's psychological shadow area. He just felt that if he encountered such a thing himself, he would have gone crazy.
"When I wake up again, I become a ghost, and I already know in my mind that I am your only escape prompt. In fact, every time you are attacked, I am on the scene, but I cannot speak and I cannot give you any hints. It can only play an NPC. When you find me, I will tell you the conditions for customs clearance, which is to call my name. If you do n’t know my name, or if you do n’t call it, it ’s useless. When Li Yougen died, it was already Seeing me, but unfortunately he didn't finish talking, he was bitten by the ghost and could not speak, but died. But Dong Xiu didn't remember my name at all, you and You Yi were the only ones who escaped smoothly of."
"Playing as NPC ..." Xin Meng muttered to herself.
"Yes, that was the feeling at that time." Qi Xiaokui's eyes were a little surprised, "Although my consciousness is clear, but I can't control my body, I somehow know what I should do, and I must do it. These are beyond my control. However, it's not completely hesitant. When it has nothing to do with you, I can still have short-term freedom. I can talk to those ghosts and walk around the village. The system has given me the ability to hide, who Can't see me.
"I do n’t know how to describe it. This game is even more terrifying than we thought. The NPCs inside are highly intelligent, and the plot will change accordingly depending on the player ’s behavior. If you do n’t know that you are still In the game, all of this should be taken as real. Finally, in the grove, if you want to escape, you must call me, and originally only I and the ghosts will die together, you can survive, but may pass through customs. I was surrounded and killed by the villagers, but I said a lot to the ghosts before, but I accidentally brushed up the favor, so they just looked at me and did not hurt me, and they let you go, but the system will Automatically correct the trajectory, I was forced to disappear temporarily, and those ghosts went violently. Although it still blocked you, it was only a different degree.
"Then you successfully completed the conditions, and at the same time I survived, so that you can clear the customs at the last minute."
In this way, everything is connected together, some details that did not understand at the time, and now I know what is going on.
Leaving aside the unusual place of this game that is contrary to science, but the silent girl in front of her said a lot at a time, Xin Meng was a little unbelievable, and he asked Qi Xiaokui: "How do you seem ... not quite the same as before ? "
Qi Xiaokui bowed her head slightly, combing her Qi Liu Hai with her fingers, and whispered, "I thought that my life was in a mess, and there was no poorer person than me, but I saw the ghosts and discovered the world. There are more people who are suffering than I am. They have not given up on themselves and still take revenge bravely. Why can't I? "
But they are NPCs ...
Xin Meng thought so, but did not say, but Xiao Xiaokui had some good changes. He didn't want to hit her, but Qi Xiaokui seemed to know what he was thinking, and continued to say, "Although it's just an NPC, it feels so real to get along. In fact, I have also seen some reports from the Internet. Such cannibals actually exist. If those who are eaten can become ghosts, will they be as desperate as they are? Revenge? Drink the blood of the enemy, eat the flesh of the enemy ... "
Qi Xiaokui said, for the first time there was light in the eyes, and it was getting brighter and brighter, but Xin Meng couldn't help getting hairy. Did their conversation run away towards strange places?
He quickly interrupted Qi Xiaokui. "Fortunately, all of them have passed. This time the beginning is good. We are all together, at least not because of the problem of information transmission."
Then he came to everyone one by one, picked up the card, and read it out one by one.
He wrote on his own card:
[After three bus transfers, you will reach the next game. 】
This is obviously a condition for customs clearance, as long as you have to turn three times? He and You Yi glanced at each other and picked up You Yi's card, which read:
[Each person has five chances of resurrection in situ. After five times, this round of the game is determined to be dead. 】
"Fucked, five chances of resurrection!" Xiong Jiabao immediately threw a straight shot on his thigh when he heard it, "This thing is good! It is equivalent to giving four more lives!"
Xin Meng and Dong Xiu were not so optimistic. Dong Xiu said coldly: "What's good, the number of resurrection times is high, which means that it is difficult and easier to die!"
When Xiong Jiabao heard it, he was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and suddenly hesitated.
Xin Meng wanted to comfort him and tell him that although it might be more dangerous, as long as you pay more attention and try to avoid making the same mistake, a team of six people is equivalent to thirty lives. The possibility of survival is actually very high. But later thinking of Xiong Jiabao's reckless temper, he swallowed the words, so that he was more cautious and harmless.
He continued to read the card, and the next one was from Xiong Jiabao:
[The first bus, there is a demon hidden in the bus, find it before reaching the next stop. 】
As soon as Li Yougen heard it, he snored, his lips were white, and he couldn't speak. "I, I, we, we want to get on a bus with a devil, and still have to find it out?"
He rolled back two steps and seemed to want to get away from the bus stop sign.
The card that belonged to him was originally under his body, and it was also revealed at this time. Xin Meng walked over and took it up to see:
[The second bus has a Medusa on it. Please don't look at it. 】
"Is there a hint for the third car?" Xin Meng asked Dong Dong and Qi Xiaokui.
Dong Xiu held his glasses up, handed his card with a smile on his face, Xin Meng didn't even look at him, only looked down to read the card:
[Third bus, find the right car that belongs to you, and you can reach the end. 】
"It seems that these three cards are both a reminder and a condition for customs clearance. They are much clearer than the previous game." After reading, Xin Meng was relieved, knowing what to do, and what needs to be prepared. From this point of view alone, it is more comfortable than the previous Cannibal Village game, at least not to make them too passive.
The last was Qi Xiaokui's. This time, the girl did not hide as before, but instead frowned her hair, took the initiative to walk over and handed the card to Xin Meng, while also bypassing everyone exaggeratedly. ...
[It's a human, it might not be a human. 】
"Fuck! There may be no one!" Xiong Jiabao shouted in shock, "That is to say that even a broken stool may be a demon ?! No kidding! How can you find this!
This is the worst case scenario. Could the ghost be anything in the car?
Even a screw?
When they were having a headache, a whistle sounded abruptly, accompanied by the buzzing of the engine, the first bus, from the end of the empty passage, slowly entered the platform ...
