Feng Bujue once again entered the state of watching the opening CG from a first-person perspective. What appeared in front of me was a distant view, an ordinary country town, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with fields and forests visible on the outskirts of the town. The town was also equipped with modern facilities, such as schools, shopping streets, residential buildings, office buildings, etc... This small town reminded Feng Bujue of Pingtian's hometown, and an ominous premonition rose faintly... [Yingguo Town, a corner away from the hustle and bustle of the city. 】

[In the quiet town, there is a strange story circulating. 】

[About thirty years ago, in the first few days of November, the police station in the town received multiple reports of missing entrances. Several young men and women in the town were missing, and these entrances were last seen on the date of their disappearance. ,* all on the same day, October 31st. 】

[The missing persons will not be found alive, and their bodies will not be found dead. At first everyone thought that these young people had eloped or ran away from home and went to places outside the town. But year after year, there is no news about these people, and every year since then, on the same day, similar cases will happen...]

[There are various signs that the missing persons did not leave the town... Therefore, the police launched a thorough investigation into the incident. 】

[Although the police visited many residents of the town and accumulated a mountain of confession records, the investigation still did not make any substantial progress. The only information that can be called a clue is the superstitious words spoken by some elders...]

[The theory of "The Curse of the Well of Resentment" also began to spread because of this investigation. 】

[Legend... In an abandoned shrine in the mountains, there is a cursed well. Every year on the last night of October, the music of the Kingdom of the Dead will be heard from the well. This night, when you hear the sound of this song, you will come to the shrine and throw yourself into the well. 】

["They can never come back because they went to 'another world'." The veterans said this with certainty. 】

[The investigation reached a deadlock. In desperation, the police came to the mountains with a tentative attitude and searched the abandoned shrine. Unexpectedly, they found several items lost by the missing people. 】

[On the night of October 31st of the same year, a team of police officers guarded the well, trying to explore the truth of the "Shenyin" incident. But they also failed to come back...]

[The investigation was put on hold indefinitely. The local government ordered the villagers to enter the mountain at night and sealed the well in the shrine with cement. 】

[But at the end of October every year, disappearances are still happening...]

Following the voice prompts, the camera gradually zoomed in from a distant view to a close-up view. Facing the mountain, a trail could be seen ahead, extending all the way up into the forest.

[Time flies, and many years have passed in the blink of an eye. The urban area of ​​Yingguo Town has increased, and the number of entrances has more than tripled. Such disappearance cases have gradually been ignored by people, and the legend has been forgotten. 】

[One autumn night, six young people from a small town came here and wanted to go to a shrine in the mountains for a test of courage. And this night happened to be October 31st. 】

"Is this a test of courage..." Feng Bujue complained while listening to the introduction: "This is obviously seeking death!"

He thought the introduction would end here, but unexpectedly, a setting description similar to the "Seven Mysteries on Campus" script appeared again:

[From the beginning of the script, the system will randomly select one member of the player's team to obtain the "Protagonist Halo". 】

[Players with the protagonist's aura will not be judged dead unless they disconnect due to high fright value, actively disconnect, or actively exit the script. Any other form of death methods, such as monster attacks, falling from heights, exhaustion of survival points to zero, etc., will be "luckily" terminated the moment before they occur. Even if the termination method is infinitely close to zero in probability and contradicts logic, it can still happen. 】

[The protagonist's halo will be transferred due to a variety of special FLAGs. Players are asked to explore by themselves and make good use of their rules for transfer. 】

[When the number of team entries is less than or equal to two, the protagonist’s halo disappears. 】

[The player currently possessing the protagonist’s halo is the Brave and Invincible. 】

After this explanation is completed, the script officially begins.

There were five people standing next to Feng Bujue. One of them he had seen before was the brave and invincible brother who was tricked by him once. Brave Invincible is a player in Order Studio who is responsible for the research and intelligence collection of "Fist" among fighting experts during the internal beta stage. Currently, his work content remains unchanged, and his level has reached level 23. His title is "Reckless Fist". Fighter] was changed to [Xingyi Boxer].

Among the other four, there are two who are also Order players. One is called [Meng Jingzen], who is also level 23, and is titled [Cold-Faced Killer]. As soon as this guy appeared, he took out a weapon from his pocket. He brought a pack of cigarettes, took one in his mouth, lit it for himself, stroked his permed hair, and blew out the cigarette ring.

The third member of Order is a female player. Needless to say in appearance, she is also a beauty. She has red lips and white teeth, a delicate face, long black hair, and is wearing Order's standard white coat and shawl, lined with a set of azure. The nickname of the suit is [Ye Zhi], which has some unclear meaning. Feng Bujue concluded that this ID is a homophony of her real name. Ye Zhi's level is twenty. Judging from her title [Emergency Physician], she is undoubtedly a medical expert.

There are two other players, both male and level 18. One is called [Copernicus] and the other is called [Galileo], with even more unique titles, one is called [Discoverer], and the other is called [Investigator]. They lined up together as a team, so they shouldn't have gone wrong, but neither of them had club badges on them, and their looks were nothing special. They were wearing plain cheap T-shirts and trousers, the color and style of which were different from the novice uniforms. There are only slight differences.

In the eyes of onlookers, these two are just ordinary casual players. Their titles are probably related to the investigative experts. Their gaming skills are definitely not that good. They have not even joined the club. They are either too weak to be accepted by others, or they are too weak. If you are poor, you can't afford it. Anyway, looking at their clothes, it is clear that they are poor. Whether they are weak or not remains to be seen.

However, in Feng Bujue's view, there are two possibilities for the strength of these two people, and they are two extremes.

In the first extreme, he suspected that these two guys were GMs... The Derivatives' script clearance experience at least made Feng Bujue know one thing, that is, Derivatives could only appear in the six-person team survival mode. Although according to what Pan Feng and Hua Xiong said, the probability of encountering them was very low, and the probability of encountering the same player twice was even slimmer, Feng Bujue was quite confident in his poor quality.

If this script really has a spin-off, then... from head to toe, it can be said that there is nothing that these two people do not meet GM's standards. Moderate rank, popular nicknames, low-key clothing; working in teams of two, no club badges, the title seems to be confusing, maybe it was deliberately adjusted like this... They don't seem to be very strong, and they are difficult. If you leave a deep impression on players, such players will easily be ignored after clearing the level. Even if someone joins and sends a friend request out of politeness, they won't have much thought after being rejected.

The second extreme that Feng Bujue considered was that there was a higher chance that these two people were not GMs, but they just thought too much. Then...the strength of these two people is probably extremely bad.

Because the combination of the three members of Order is obviously not weak, Feng Bujue is not sure whether they are star players, but judging from the apparent strength of the ranks and titles, the three members have a clear division of labor and extraordinary combat power. . Besides, their club ranks first on both lists, and the two club BUFFs they received must be very powerful, which also has to be factored into the player's strength.

When the system generates a script, the team's level of difficulty and benefits are proportional. If six super players form a team and queue together, they will naturally encounter extremely difficult scenarios, and this is something they asked for. But with the three-two-one player composition in front of us, the possibility of a strong and weak combination in the queue is very high. After all, a game will not be full of masters. Casual players will always be the majority, and they will be the vast majority.

The first team survival scenario when Feng Bujue first met Brother Long is a good example. A high-level powerful player led two low-level but capable players, plus two mid-level rookies.

Therefore, Feng Bujue's second hypothesis is... Two guys who are very bad at playing have gotten into this team. They are really so weak that no club is willing to accept them. It's useless to use the game currency to buy cheap clothes and add attributes. It’s not easy anymore, so I can’t afford to open a club.

Of course, no matter which extreme the facts go to, this script will never be associated with the word "easy". Feng Bujue actually hoped in his heart that these two people were not GMs. It didn't matter if they were barely able to play. They just followed the team and listened to the command at critical moments. It would be no problem to pass the level. But what if they are really the administrators... The difficulty of this script is scary when I think about it... "Oh! It's your kid!" Brave Invincible also recognized Feng Bujue and walked up to him and said.

"Brother Wudi, you're fine." Feng Bujue said.

"Go away... don't get too close." The Brave Invincible is not a fool. Before, he might have suspected that the final pass of the House of Usher script relied on the three characters of Xi Yu, Bei Ling and Long Ao Min. But at this moment, he saw Feng Feng Unexpectedly, the title of [Plot Explorer] basically made it all clear: "Bumping into the door, right? Taking off the door handle, right? You were really good at pretending, but then you cleared the level when I died?"

"It was indeed not in my expectation that you would die that time." Feng Bujue replied with a smile, "But it was definitely right to split up and expand the search scope at the beginning of the script, and the facts later proved..."

"Okay... don't explain. Anyway, I don't know what happened next." Brave Invincible interrupted: "It was true that I underestimated you last time. This time I call you big brother. Okay, please do the same." Stop pretending to be dumb and help me clear the level.”

"I'm so embarrassed when you hold it in such a high position." Feng Bujue said politely, but his face was full of pride.

"Wudi, are you your friend?" Meng Jingchan came over. At some point, he took out a small bottle of beer from his bag and was already drinking it.

"O... I'm not familiar with it. I encountered it once in a previous script." Brave Invincible replied, then turned to Feng Bujue and said: "Huh? Judging from your title, you are a pure puzzle player, right? ?" This question is a matter of course for him. Even in the Order, there are no players like Feng Bujue who have an average increase in expertise level and are capable of fighting and planning.

"I am more inclined to solve puzzles." Feng Bujue said: "Of course, I can't say that I am very weak in combat."

"Oh? Listening to this tone, you are both civil and military?" Meng Jingchan asked. Before Feng Bujue could respond, he said with emotion: "Oh...it's good to be young. Don't look at me like this now... …I used to be quite cool, handsome, arrogant and domineering…”

"This...Brother Zen, I visually estimate that you are only in your twenties now, and you look like you are well-equipped to smoke, drink, and have sex..." Feng Bujue said with a twitching corner of his mouth.

Even the Brave Invincible felt a little embarrassed: "This is his catchphrase, don't worry about it..."

Liu Ru chatted for a few minutes and got a general understanding of their respective specialties. During this period, Feng Bujue had already taken the time to use [Victory over a Thousand Miles] once. The BOSS data he saw was:

[Name: Well of Resentment]

【Race:? ? ? 】

【Level: 30】

【depth:? ? ? 】

[Well head diameter: 122 cm]

[Combat method: Illusion]

[Weakness: After the power supply is blocked, it will become an ordinary dry well]

[Have skills: Soul Swallowing]

[Danger level: high. 】

This information coincides with the description of the well in the script introduction, but the "weakness" item is worth pondering. After "blocking the power supply", the resentment well seems to have lost its function, but the well's Where does the power come from?

If the source of its power exists in "another world", does it have to be swallowed by it first and then block the power at that end? Not to mention whether the act of being "swallowed" will lead to direct death, even if you survive to the other side and successfully destroy the power supply of the Well of Resentment, the player will definitely not be able to come back, because by then the Well of Resentment has become With an ordinary well, the connection between the two worlds is naturally interrupted.

Another hypothesis seems more reliable, that is... the power supply of the Well of Resentment actually comes from this world, hidden somewhere in this town or in the mountains. Players only need to find out the truth to pass the level. .

About five minutes after the end of the script introduction, when everyone was preparing to set off, the system's task prompt sounded at the right time:

[The main mission has been triggered]

【Enter the mountain and look for the abandoned shrine. 】
