Chapter 917: Demon-Killing Rangers (I)

This script is adapted from the 1987 film "The Monster Squad" (the_monster_squad), and some settings from the "Castlevania" series are added. Any similarities are not coincidental.

…………

At midnight on November 13, the fifth round of the rematch of the Peak Heroes S2, which is also the third to last game of the entire competition, officially began.

Soon, the final eight will be decided...

"The smoke of war has just settled, but the blood is still flowing. The battle is about to start again. All the stars gather in the four realms, and the heroic spirit will rise to the sky in one day."

[Loading has been completed. Welcome to the Peak Hegemony S2-Fighting in the Four Realms. ]

[This mode provides a brief introduction to the script, and there is a chance that side/hidden tasks and special world views will appear. ]

[Script victory reward: advance to the semi-finals. ]

[The script introduction will be played soon, and the game will start immediately after it is played. ]

The system prompts when entering the script are not much different from the previous rounds. Except for the content of "Script Victory Reward", they are basically the same.

After the voice prompt, it is the opening cg.

Rumble...

With a thunderous sound, the first shot of the cg appeared in front of the players.

In the middle of the screen, there is a cross-shaped stone tombstone; next to the tombstone stands a tall, lifelike stone sculpture of the Grim Reaper... Although the face of the statue is hidden in the shadow, every player and audience watching the CG can feel that he is staring at them.

After freezing for a few seconds. The camera began to move slowly to the side, and a depressing, gloomy, and bizarre background music also sounded very appropriately.

In the next ten seconds, the players followed the "camera perspective" all the way through a cemetery with overgrown forests and broken fences. Then, the focus of the picture moved from far to near, aiming at a castle on a cliff in the distance.

[One night a hundred years ago, the legendary exorcist Van Helsing led a group of warriors to break into the castle of the devil Dracula. 】

While the narrator said this, a set of fast and smooth action scenes were played in the camera.

But a handsome middle-aged man with a white shirt and black vest and a beard, and three or five villagers holding torches and hunting rifles... rushed into the castle together.

They used mining explosives to blow open the castle gate and killed all the monsters that blocked the way with swords and guns. With the help of the editor, they quickly came to an underground auditorium.

[At this time, Dracula has obtained the legendary "Sacred Amulet" and wants to destroy it on the "Night of Resurrection". ]

[Once the Holy Amulet is destroyed, the balance between good and evil in the world will be broken and fall into the control of the dark world. ]

At this point, Van Helsing has come to the middle of the auditorium and stood in front of a smooth bridge-shaped rock. On the cross section of the rock, there is a palm-sized, crystal-like round amulet.

Van Helsing stared at the amulet for a few seconds, then turned back and shouted, "Yes. That's it, bring the girl here."

As soon as the words were spoken, one of his companions brought a girl in from outside the auditorium.

The girl looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was dressed very simply. When she walked into the hall, her slightly immature face was obviously uneasy and timid, but you could still see a hint of determination and courage in her eyes.

"I hope we're still in time." Seeing the girl's appearance, Van Helsing wiped the blood that had stained his face at some point. He muttered worriedly.

[In order to stop all this, Van Helsing came to the amulet and started the ceremony first. ]

Narration interjection. The camera turned, and the girl at this time was holding a scroll, facing the amulet, and hesitantly chanting the spell.

The amulet also reacted to the spell, and light continued to burst out from the crystal.

"Hurry! Faster!" Although it seemed a bit harsh to do so, Van Helsing kept urging the already trembling girl to speed up.

Bang——

At this moment, accompanied by a loud bang, the glass and door of the auditorium shattered by themselves, and the ground under everyone's feet also shook as if alive.

"Ah——"

"Help!"

Suddenly, several villagers standing in the back screamed.

When everyone looked back, they found that they had been dragged down alive by the mummies that emerged from the cracks in the ground...

"Read it quickly!" Seeing that the girl was stunned by the scene in front of her, Van Helsing shouted, "Otherwise we will all die!"

The girl came to her senses after being shouted at by him, and continued to read nervously.

[On the night of the resurrection, a virgin recited the spell in front of the amulet, which could open the door to limbo (the border of hell) and swallow everything around. ]

As soon as he said that the prison was about to open, before the narration was finished, the light on the amulet suddenly disappeared, and then... a black hole as big as a human eye appeared on the amulet, and expanded its diameter to more than five meters in a few seconds.

"Oh! God!"

"Run!"

The teammates that Van Helsing found began to panic and run away, because the suction power of the black hole sucked the girl who recited the curse into the first one within five seconds.

However, this is obviously in vain...

Soon, the prison gate expanded to an unimaginable size, and the space of the entire auditorium and even the entire castle was distorted by it.

Nothing...can escape its engulfment.

"Van Helsing..." When Van Helsing was making his final struggle outside the black hole, a voice came into his ears, "Is this your way? In order to stop me...are you willing to fall into the edge of prison yourself? "

"I just did what I had to do..." shouted Van Helsing in response to the voice, "...and what I could do."

"Stop pretending to be a saint there!" the voice yelled, "You can't save everyone! You can't even save the few people who came with you!" There was obvious anger in his words, "I My life is eternal! One day, I will return to this world, and you... will suffer in prison forever!"

"Humph..." Van Helsing laughed miserably. "I think... when that day comes, someone will stand up and stop you."

After saying this, he was swallowed by the black hole and disappeared without a trace...

scold--

The next second, the screen went black, and the opening cg ended abruptly.

[Ninety-nine years later...today...] After the narrator left these last words, the script officially began.

[The main mission has been triggered]

[Kill four members of "Blade". 】

As soon as players enter the script, task prompts come directly.

But they didn't focus on this, and all the viewers watching the live broadcast... didn't focus on this either.

"Hey...what are you doing?" When Feng Bujue regained his mobility, he found himself lying on a small bed.

The size of this bed is clearly not for adults. Nor are the sheets with cartoon characters printed on them... But Feng Bujue doesn't feel out of place lying on this bed at this moment, because... he has turned into a child.

[In this script, your age is set to be ten years old. 】

[Your appearance, physical fitness, skills, items, psychic weapons, title abilities, etc. will all change accordingly. 】

Five seconds later, such a prompt rang in every player's ear.

"You're quite good at playing..." Feng Bujue lifted the quilt and stood on the ground, "Is it really good to play with the settings in the game..."

In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, both sides of the battle have been turned into children, so "theoretically" it is still fair.

"Huh... Anyway. Let me take a look first." After Feng Bujue stood still, he first observed the room he was in.

This is a very typical room for a child from a middle-class American family. It's just that...the era it is in is definitely not in the 21st century. Because there are neither smartphones nor tablets, nor desktop computers nor handheld devices in this room. Feng Bujue took a quick look around. Apart from light bulbs... the only electronic devices that could be found in the room were an electric alarm clock and an old-fashioned radio.

As for the other things... they are basically the common stuff in boys' rooms. Dirty clothes littered everywhere, hats that are too ugly to wear, basketballs that look cheap at first glance, sneakers that don’t require laces to be taken off or put on, teenage toys that were popular in the 1980s and 1990s, and a bunch of baseballs Star cards (Brother Jue flipped through them. He found that he had never heard of the appearance and names of these stars, so he deduced that this was a planet similar to the Earth in the main universe), every inch was stained with dried sauce and snacks. Carpets filled with crumbs (just by looking at them with the naked eye, you can tell there are at least six sources of these food scraps), embarrassing monster figurines, posters, and so on.

Feng Bujue estimated that if he searched carefully, he might be able to find pornographic books under the bed that were not too strong (for him). But he didn't do that...

"My eyesight has become lower after my body shrunk..." After Feng Bujue finished scanning, he walked to the closet, "I'm really not used to it."

Said. He opened the closet door.

As expected, this floor-standing wardrobe door has a full body-length mirror embedded on the inside.

"Hmm..." Brother Jue looked at himself in the mirror and said to himself, "As expected of the program developed by Woody... it not only scaled down the character's clothing and hairstyle, but also perfectly restored my appearance and body shape when I was ten years old. And height..."

Although his reaction when he looked in the mirror was not very strong, at this moment, the audience watching the game were crazy with joy...

"Hahahahaha...this...this, this, this..." is incoherent.

"Those damn fish eyes have changed at all! Hahahaha..." Some people complained.

"Hahaha... No way! I'm going to flip through the video and use his face as an emoticon!" Someone full of malice.

"I really want to give our kids a mini clown costume like this. It's so cute." Some people focused on the wrong type.

All in all, compared to Jue Ge's tepid attitude, the audience's response was extremely strong.

In addition...you should have realized that, except for Feng Bujue, the other seven players in the script have also become children, and their changes are also very interesting...

Ever since, in the next five to thirty minutes, news about this game spread like a virus on the live broadcast platform, attracting a large number of viewers...

As soon as they heard that they could see the child versions of the contestants, the vast majority of the audience...and even some studio intelligence reconnaissance teams...couldn't help but come over and watch.

[Side mission has been triggered]

Just when Feng Bujue finished searching the room and was about to open the door and go out, the system prompt rang again.

He opened the game menu, glanced at the contents of the taskbar, and saw - [Try to meet up with your teammates].

"Oh? Is this considered a mission?" Feng Bujue muttered noncommittally, "In this scenario with separate teleportation points, meeting up with teammates is the basic routine..."

"Eh?" Thinking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes changed slightly, "Could it be that... this mission is a hint... that some kind of subsequent plot will be triggered after the meeting?"

Feng Bujue thought as he walked out of the room. The room was located at the end of the second floor. After walking through the several-meter-long corridor, Brother Jue followed the stairs to the living room on the first floor.

"Hey~ my little pumpkin, look at you...why did you change your clothes so early in the morning?" A young mother in her thirties with blond wavy hair greeted him with a warm smile.

"Ah... That's because I can't wait anymore..." Feng Bujue said this sentence in a child's cute voice, matched with his weak tone and "Are you kidding me" expression... Lines.

While checking the room upstairs, Feng Bujue saw the calendar on the wall stating that today was Halloween. The script used a good way to make it logical for him to dress in fancy clothes.

"Ha... my little baby, you are so cute." The "mom" came over and pinched Brother Jue's little face with both hands, and kissed him on the forehead, "Okay, mom. Get ready to go out. Breakfast is on the table. Remember to finish eating before going out. "

"Okay." Feng Bujue looked unhappy. When the lady walked upstairs, he shook his head helplessly and walked towards the kitchen.

Five minutes later, Brother Jue appeared on the roadside of the community wearing a safety helmet and kneepads and riding a small bicycle with training wheels. In his mouth... there was also a piece of slightly burnt toast.

"Would it be better to occupy the TV station or the radio station..." He was mainly thinking about this question while riding.

However, his thoughts were interrupted by a figure suddenly appearing in the middle of the road.

"Hmph... Feng Bujue!" But he saw a young man about 1.3 meters tall... holding a big dog, stopped in front of Brother Jue, and said, "What a coincidence!" ( To be continued.)
