Once he entered the living room, Feng bujue noticed that RUO Yu’s gaming pod was lit up.
“Hmm … He went online as if nothing happened … He’s not worried that I won’t be able to come back at all …” Brother Jue looked at the gaming pod and mumbled to himself.
“It’s just a random ghost … And Bao Qing is with him. What could happen?” Arthas, who was lying on the sofa, heard Feng bujue’s mumbling and responded.
“That’s hard to say …” Feng bujue said.”What if the ghost is hiding its real power or something …”
“Aren’t you back already … Why are you still wasting time?” Arthas was too lazy to listen to his nonsense.!!
“Okay, okay.” Brother Jue shrugged and ended the conversation.
Then, he quickly went to the bathroom to wash up, changed his clothes, and lay down in his game cabin.
After setting the “instant connection after entering sleep mode” option, he closed his eyes …
When he opened his eyes, he was in the familiar log-in space.
“Tsk … So you’re already in the game …” Feng bujue opened the social tab and looked at his teammates ‘online status.”Oh well … There are only a few days left before the preliminaries, so I’ll just improve as much as I can …”
Brother Jue and Bao Qing had gone to catch the ghost together in the early morning of August 27th.
In the ten days before that, the hell Vanguard team had been improving under the ‘guidance’ of Feng bujue, their Captain and coach. Their awareness for team battles had improved greatly. For the past few days, they had stopped trying out the team practice battles. Instead, they had tried to queue up for more normal scenarios, hoping to get more equipment and skills.
“In that case …” Feng bujue read as he processed the email,”…I’ll go and arrange my own schedule or something …”
After making up his mind, he sent an email to his teammates ‘group to say hello.
Then, he quickly settled the trivial matters before him and opened the script menu …
“A while ago, he was either doing tactical analysis for practice matches (at least, that’s what he thought) or leading the team to clear Team Dungeons (it’s still up to question who’s leading who). It feels like … He hasn’t played single mode in a long time …” As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the option [solo survival mode (nightmare)].”Ha … The decision is yours.”
As a person who had seen ghosts in both the game and in reality; As a person who had lost his fear for half a year and had been in the supernatural world for several months … Feng bujue had already developed a sense of familiarity with the word ‘nightmare’. Nightmare Mode or whatever, it was nothing to him.
Feng bujue, level 50
“Please select the game mode you wish to join.”
“You’ve chosen solo survival mode (nightmare). Please confirm.”
“Confirmed, generating scenario …”
“Loading, please wait.”
Welcome to Thriller Paradise.” A hoarse and strange voice that sounded like an electronic voice changer read the opening remarks.
Before he finished, Feng bujue lost control of his body, and his surroundings turned pitch black.
“Download Complete. You are currently playing single player survival mode (nightmare).
“A scenario introduction is provided in this mode, and there is a chance of a side or hidden mission and a special world-building appearing.
“Reward for clearing the scenario: puzzle cards X2
“The scenario introduction is about to play. The game will start immediately after the play.
After the familiar voice prompt, the opening CG began.
This time, the opening was a video of a character being brought in from a first-person perspective.
In the slightly blurry image, the first thing that appeared was a wall. A white wall that was very close to him.
“Number 250.” A voice came from the left side of the screen.
It was a man’s voice, speaking in English.
“Number 250!” Two seconds later, the voice seemed to repeat the sentence.
At this moment, the camera turned to the left. On the screen, there was a bunk bed, an iron fence, and a man in a prison guard uniform.
“Tsk, the number that the main character is assigned to when he’s serving his sentence sure is lucky …” Feng bujue had only read the beginning, and he already could not help but comment.
In the next second, the “main character” stood up and walked toward the prison guard. The cinematics naturally followed his movements and moved in first-person perspective.
“What’s the matter? Senior officer. ” Number 250 asked. He sounded young, probably about the same age as brother Jue, but he also spoke English.
“Follow me.” The prison guard replied in an impatient tone as he opened the cell door.
Then, the screen darkened … When it lit up again, the scene had changed to the next scene.
In a narrow room, number 250 was sitting in front of a metal table, waiting for something …
Not long after, the only door in the room opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with his hair combed back and sunglasses on, walked in.
“Hey…Could this be the MIB?” When Feng bujue saw the man’s appearance, he could not help but be reminded of a certain movie series.
“You are Ludi. Austin?” The man in a suit threw out a question as soon as he sat down.
“Yes …” Number 250 admitted his identity.”May I ask who you are …”
“You can just call me ‘Sir’.” The man in the suit continued quickly,”I’m here to make a deal. I can make this deal with you or someone else. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“Yes, sir.” Austin replied.
“Very good,” he said. The man in the suit nodded slightly with a blank expression and said,”Mr. Austin, you’re 24 years old this year, right?”
“I’ll be twenty-five next month. ” Austin replied.
“You’re a little too young for a criminal who has been sentenced to life imprisonment. ” The man in the suit leaned forward a little.”Don’t you think so?”
“It seems like your deal will allow me to leave the prison in advance.” Austin’s expression was relatively calm, and his reasoning was quite reliable.
“That’s right. ” The man in a suit continued,”the content of the deal is very simple …” He paused for half a second and continued,”there’s a government research project that needs a group of basic operators. As long as you are willing to be the operator of this project, then …… After a month, you will be free. ”
After saying this, he quickly added,””Of course, this position is doubtlessly dangerous … And it’s life-threatening.” He said bluntly,”if you survive, you can shorten your sentence of decades (most of the younger life inmates can leave the prison alive) to a short 30 days. It depends on whether you’re willing to take the risk.”
Hearing this, Austin was silent for more than ten seconds before he said,””What is this project?”
“You have no right to ask this question, and I have no right to answer you.” The man in a suit replied.
“Who are you? FBI？CIA？”Austin said.
“I don’t want to repeat what I just said.” The man in the suit said again,”I don’t want to waste my time here with you …” He stood up and turned around.”Prison guard, open the door.”
“Hold on!” Austin finally panicked when he saw that the other party was about to leave.”I want to go!”
As he said this, the scene turned black again and the scene changed.
“You sure have guts …” Feng bujue took the opportunity to mock him.”This is obviously a conspiracy … You’re going to die nine out of ten!”
After the scene changed, a corridor appeared on the screen.
The four walls of the corridor were made of metal, and the lighting equipment was embedded in the ceiling. The white light was very bright, but the space gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
At this time, the camera was slowly moving forward from Austin’s point of view. He could see two men in orange one-piece suits (not tights, but rather loose one-piece pants) in front of him. Both of them had buzzcut hair and were handcuffed. Thus, it was speculated that Austin should be in the same state.
“Stop,” he ordered. After walking for a while, the three of them came to an electronic door at the end of the corridor. A voice immediately came from behind them.
Austin turned his head, and three armed men in full special Forces uniforms appeared on the screen.
嘁–嗡–
A few seconds later, the electronic door opened with the sound of an air valve opening and a mechanical rhythm.
A metal room with an area of more than 100 square meters appeared in front of everyone. There were many staff members in white coats and protective masks standing in the room. At this time, they were busy in front of a large computer connected to the wall.
“Let’s go,”he said. After the door opened, the Special Forces soldier gave another order.
The three orange-robed men, including Austin, continued to move forward until they reached a large metal door in the room.
After standing still, they waited for a minute. Then, the door opened …
He saw that … Behind the large metal door that rose upward, there were three humans and a tall, unknown creature. Brother Jue had even seen Pi Xiu [SCP 173] before.
“F * ck!” When Feng bujue saw what was behind the door, he was no longer calm. He was tricked into becoming a D-class member!”
His shouting would not have any effect on the development of the plot …
Austin and the other two class D’s were clearly preparing to switch shifts with the three people inside the door.
However, just as they were changing shifts, all the lights in the room … Went out.
About 1.5 seconds later, the red light from the backup power source lit up. However, the one inside the door, SCP 173 … Was no longer there.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!” Immediately after, a scream came from not far away.
Kacha…Boom.
What followed was the clear sound of joints breaking and falling to the ground.
It was also at this time that the introductory cinematic ended without any awkwardness, and Feng bujue gained control of his body.
