First Player

Chapter 217: two hundred and fourteen

   Chapter 217 Chapter 214 · "Why face reality?"

  Various brushstrokes spread across the wall, like a flowing fire.

  Su Mingan approached, this was a room with a little light, and dark red handwriting was imprinted on the wall like blood.

   "Big brother. Why is there such a thing in the copy..." Mo Yan probed his head from behind.

  Su Mingan put his hand on the wall, this is just an extremely ordinary wall, there is no way to go ahead.

   "This copy is so small." Mo Yan said, "This is the end."

  Mo Yan turned his head and wanted to go back, but suddenly saw a very bright light in his field of vision.

  The cold sweat climbed up his back in an instant, and his whole body was shaking: "Big, big brother, then, that **** seems to be back!"

  …There are no cabinets here!

  Before in the corridor on the second floor, he was safe because there were cabinets, but now there is no cabinet next to him, and he has nowhere to run if he wants to hide!

   He hurriedly turned his head to the side, wanting to remind the elder brother, but saw that the elder brother had already taken out a weapon in his hand.

   It was a long sword, and the body of the sword reflected light like a mirror. When he looked over, a layer of black light suddenly attached to the body of the sword.

   Big brother looked very calm, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, the sword body was raised, and the black light also flowed slightly with his movements, as if alive.

   "Big, big brother, are you going to... harden that thing?"

  Mo Yan was taken aback.

   "You are waiting here." Su Ming'an had already switched to the bright state, and after the extinction was attached to the sword, he had a dwell time of 90 seconds, which was enough for him to end a battle.

   In many horror games, "ghosts" cannot be killed. Players can only choose to hide or escape when facing it, and it is impossible to turn around and kill.

   However, choosing to fight is not a bad idea.

  Some things are learned only after you have tried them. Even if you know that it is very dangerous in front of you, maybe the upper limit is not completely locked... What if the opponent is something that can be killed?

  Su Mingan rushed out.

   "Big, big brother, why are your weapons so similar to Arman..."

   A suspicious voice came from behind.

  Su Mingan ignored it.

   At this moment, in the center of his field of vision, only the light remained.

   The light seemed to notice him too, and the two were approaching each other.

   And at the moment when Su Mingan's eyes were fixed on the light, the orange value in the upper left corner began to fluctuate violently.

   dropped from 70 to 65 in an instant, then rose again in an instant, the value jumped repeatedly, extremely unstable.

  【…Why face reality? 】

   He suddenly heard a faint murmur in his ear, as if someone approached him and was blowing at him, the voice was a soft neutral voice.

   His hand was raised in an instant, and the blade was raised high, passing a jet-black streamer.

  This light is like a firefly floating in the air, and there is no one who controls it.

   Although he could not find a specific target, Su Mingan swung down his sword—towards the extremely bright light.

  The blade slid across the air, and he saw the [HP-892! (Weakened!)] prompt, let go.

  …As long as there is a health bar, that’s fine.

   That means the opponent is "something that can be attacked".

   cut the light like jelly, he saw the light spread out in front of him, and then heard a very clear system prompt:

  【Instant death resistance takes effect. 】

The   light has completely enveloped him.

   He heard murmurs.

   The words were unclear, the words were unclear, and the specific meaning was unknown, but when he raised his head, he saw a blood-red figure at the end of the corridor that was out of tune with the darkness.

  Dance dress, blood red, glowing with shimmer. It stood there like blood flowing.

   A long shadow was pulled out from behind "her", twisting strangely at this time, completely covering the walls on both sides.

  【…Why face reality? 】

   He heard that voice again.

  【Aren't you the one they sent to enslave us? 】

  【Aren't you their unique masterpiece? 】

  【…So despicable, so low, so succumbed to reality, so “healthy” you. 】

  【—Why are you coming back? 】

  Su Mingan looked at the blood-red figure.

   He heard a voice with sadness, like a complaint, like a sigh, like complaining about him, and like envying him.

  【Kill "Winter Snow", Exp+0! 】

  …

   He opened his eyes.

   He sat up suddenly and held out his hand.

  The blazing white light entered his eyes, the light was too dazzling, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes. The Sword of Yarman that was originally in his hand was gone, and he saw a pair of hands full of scars.

   The blue and white hospital gown was loosely worn on him, and there was a constant pain in his thigh.

  …Back to gear again?

  He looked up, the time on the clock was pointing to one point, the wooden door was closed, and there was an unopened notebook on the table.

  …Although I don’t know what happened.

   But this time, there were no sequelae of death, and there was no pain at all. It was as if the eyes were closed and opened.

   He didn't even know the cause of death.

  Su Ming'an frowned, he crossed his legs and moved up.

   He sat on the table and opened the notebook. It is still the familiar title page and the familiar text.

   But, after closing the notebook, nothing happened.

   His hands trembled a little.

   He thought of a possibility.

   He immediately turned his attention to the barrage in the upper right corner.

  【What's going on? Why did Brother Ming An look at the notebook again? 】

  【Maybe you feel that even if you restart it, there will be new clues if you watch it again. 】

   [I didn't expect this dungeon to be a Zhoumu system...if the conditions are triggered, the entire dungeon will be restarted...]

  【It resets when the light is extinguished, which I didn’t expect. 】

  【However, this reduces the difficulty of customs clearance, so you can start all over again... I can do it too! 】

  Su Mingan stabilized his trembling hand, slowly put down the notebook, and kept his mind calm.

  ...It turns out that he didn't die before, it wasn't that he went back.

   Instead, the entire copy, resets together.

   This may be a special condition of this dungeon. When a player triggers a certain mechanism, the entire dungeon is completely reversed, and all players return to the initial moment in an instant.

   However, time flows normally. Clues already obtained will not trigger again.

   In order to confirm, he clicked on the clue bar.

   Sure enough, the four clues that had been obtained before were quietly placed inside.

  If it is a death rollback, there will be none in it.

   In the system time, it is also displayed at 2:15 am on November 30.

   The official opening time of this dungeon is 1:00 am on November 30th. And now, the system time has passed more than an hour, which proves to be the reset of the copy, not the timeline reset of the entire world game.

  …Fortunately he found out early.

   He suddenly heard a knock on the door.

   Quickly, quickly. The people outside the door seemed to be in a hurry:

   "Big brother, big brother... Hurry up and open the door..."

   "click".

  Su Mingan opened the door and saw Mo Yan sneaking in.

   "Brother, what the **** did you do? You reset the entire dungeon... I didn't expect that there is such a mechanism, when it is triggered, everything will start all over again..." Mo Yan spoke like a bean, and he was stunned for a moment.

   "That light, isn't it dead yet..."

  Su Mingan raised his eyelids.

  Outside the door, deep in the corridor, a swaying light slowly appeared, unhurried, the same as before.

   He quickly closed the door.

   "Brother, what the **** is that? It's so scary..." Mo Yan said behind him.

   "Don't talk." Su Mingan immediately told him to shut up.

  From the perspective of [Don't let them hear], this kind of thing is especially sensitive to sound, whether it is human voice or floor sound.

   Mo Yan also seemed to realize this, and nodded desperately, indicating that he knew.

   The system prompt seems to be late and appears on the interface:

  【You just killed the key NPC "Winter Snow" in the copy. 】

  【"Winter Snow" is a character with special mechanism, once he dies, the copy restarts. 】

   [Dungeon restart mechanism: clues are retained, temporary items return to the origin, all processes return to the first day, and dead NPCs are resurrected. 】

   [Please note: The dungeon process is five days, and players must complete the five-day process before they can clear the level. The maximum duration of a copy is fifteen days. If there are too many restarts and the total duration exceeds fifteen days, all tasks will fail by default. 】

  …

   This system prompt means that the copy cannot be restarted too many times, at least the total clearance time cannot exceed fifteen days.

   However, there should be no problem. Just restarted this once, and only let the time pass for more than an hour.

  Su Ming'an suddenly remembered his mission target, "Yangxia". He needs to protect the safety of this npc called "Yangxia".

   "Yangxia", "Winter Snow".

  …Maybe there is some connection between these two NPCs.

   The quests of those in power are generally linked to the truest ending of a perfect clearance, and the NPCs associated with them are the most critical characters in the full dungeon plot.

   Jasmine of the fourth world, Hui Shuhang of the fifth world.

   If the mission of the Fourth World wasn’t to “reveal Jasmine’s sins”, he might not have approached Jasmine, an inconspicuous girl. If the fifth world's mission was not to protect Hui Shuhang, maybe he had already accepted the HE ending far away from the central square, and would not choose to go back to accept the coming-of-age ceremony, and then see the truth behind all the sacrifices.

The    task of the ruler is like a guiding tool, making him have to complete the most difficult and most realistic ending. Let him have to find the hidden route buried at the bottom of the dungeon plot.

  Perhaps, this Yangxia is the same.

   Just when he was thinking, Mo Yan next to him suddenly poked him.

   "Big Brother." Mo Yan's eyes glanced out: "Listen, isn't there a sound outside?"

  Su Mingan noticed that there were footsteps and fighting in the originally quiet outside.

   "Is it... someone is fighting that light?" Mo Yan said in a low voice.

  Su Mingan opened the door without any hesitation.

   "Brother, you are too reckless, why did you open the door suddenly..."

  Su Mingan looked out the door.

   Outside the door, the light was very close to them.

   On the opposite side of the light, stood a girl with loose black hair.

   The door behind her was already open.

  She was wearing a hospital gown, apparently one of the twenty players.

   On her hand, a blood-colored light lit up, like a brand on her hand.
