Chapter 1: Embarrassing Appearance
This volume is a story that takes place between "Cang Ling Sword Fighting" and "I am a Writer".
Why write it now...
Actually, there is no special reason...
If I have to give a reason, it is because there are too many things in my mind that I want to write, so I put this too shameless script aside for the time being.
Since Feng Bujue did not use any items or skills in this script, it doesn't matter where this paragraph is added.
So... let's get started.
…………
"Hehehe... Welcome to Horror Paradise." A familiar voice laughed.
[Loading has been completed. You are currently playing the single-player survival mode (nightmare). ]
[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 clearance reward: 80% of the basic experience bonus for clearance can be obtained when the reward is settled. ]
[The script introduction will be played soon. The game will start immediately after the playback is completed. ]
The screen lights up, and the protagonist $ () in the cg is driving a car on a mountain road.
The road in front of him was bumpy and uneven, and the guardrails on the roadside were obviously in disrepair. Every once in a while, there would be a gap without guardrails. I wonder if it was knocked down by a vehicle that had an accident before.
Looking through the windshield at the scenery in the distance, you can see that there are mountains and valleys, deep valleys and dense forests... This is obviously a remote area with few people.
There are cliffs on the side of the road, and there are many strange trees growing diagonally. Some branches even extend to the road, which is very dangerous.
After just a few seconds of watching, Feng Bujue guessed what would happen next...
Not long after, the system voice sounded:
[You are a famous detective with a weird personality. ]
[One afternoon in October, you decided to go out and take a long trip. ]
[You drove a rented cheap car. Driving across the road, leaving the city, crossing the hills, crossing the canyon, and heading into the distance along the road... In those strange and desolate lands, looking for the illusion of "freedom". ]
[Until... you came here. 】
【This is an ancient land. Civilization seems to refuse to stay here. It just left a few footprints and left. 】
【Many years ago, this place was also considered habitable. 】
【French Canadians came. Italians came, Poles came, but they all left. The reason is nothing more than seeing, hearing, or encountering something, or maybe... just imagining something. 】
【This is obviously not a place that can bring people good dreams...】
The narration stopped here, and was replaced by the sudden sound of brakes.
As Feng Bujue expected, the car in the opening CG suddenly skidded and rushed out of the gap between the guardrails. Rolling down the hillside. With the rumbling sound of the car rolling down, the picture in front of him first trembled violently, turned upside down, and finally... was still blinded by darkness.
Fortunately, a few seconds later. Feng Bujue gained the ability to move, and the script officially began.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Brother Jue felt a little uncomfortable... At this moment, the car he was riding in was in an upward state. And his body was fixed to the driver's seat by the seat belt.
It was not known whether this car would leak oil or explode, but it was definitely not okay to stay in it all the time.
Feng Bujue immediately tried to unfasten the seat belt. Unexpectedly, this thing was easily unfastened, and the quality was really good.
He supported his upside-down body with his hands, looked around, and found that the windshield was shattered quite thoroughly, so he decided to get out from there. So, he lowered his head, let his weight press on his shoulders, and then folded his body like a shrimp, let his feet stick out from the front first, and then his body followed with a backward roll.
This guy was very flexible and got out of the car quickly.
After standing on the muddy ground under the valley, Feng Bujue did not rush to leave the overturned car. The first thing he thought of was: go to the car to search for any props that could be used.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a flash of fire appeared, and the outside of the fuel tank caught fire inexplicably.
It happened in a flash, Feng Bujue saw this, and turned around and rushed forward without hesitation. Two seconds later, an explosion really happened, and Brother Jue, who was rushing forward, was blown away several meters and fell to the ground.
"I really can't be careless in the nightmare difficulty..." Feng Bujue muttered, "This kind of instant death incident only gives me two seconds to react." He stood up again and patted the dust on his body. Looking at the blazing fire in the distance, I knew that there was nothing to take from the car.
[Important tips: Any items brought in from outside the script cannot be used in this script; the luggage column is locked; the skill column is locked; before leaving the script, your clothes will be temporarily changed to the style of the plot character, and your physical fitness will also be corrected to the level in real life. 】
"Huh?" Feng Bujue was obviously stunned after hearing the system prompt. Although he also noticed that his clothes had changed into a black casual suit, he really didn't notice the changes in the luggage column and skill column.
At this time, he heard the prompt and opened the game menu, only to see that the items and skills were indeed locked.
"Ah... This system really has the style of the National Development and Reform Commission. It sends a notice and does it immediately." Feng Bujue complained and accepted this setting helplessly.
Then, he habitually raised his head and scanned the surrounding situation.
Although the trees were high and densely shaded in the valley, the afternoon sun still shone down. He looked around and didn't see any obvious threats.
It might be the influence of the system. Even the flames of the car that caught fire after the explosion did not spread out. It just burned on the body of the car, as if it would burn out after the main body was charred.
Just as Feng Bujue was about to start exploring, the main task prompt came:
[Main task has been triggered]
[Complete the script in 33 chapters. ]
Below this task, another sub-task of the main task has also appeared: [Find and reach the mansion of the Lovecraft family in the valley]
"Oh...Is that so." Feng Bujue sneered, "It's a rare special episode. It's really not good to end it in just a few chapters...Then let me make it to 33 chapters!"
…………
Usually, it only takes five chapters to complete a super simple case.
The murderer with poor skills, the secret room full of loopholes, the obvious motive...
The famous detective who will make it to 33 chapters no matter what!
With unbelievable inferences constantly emerging and the number of suspects increasing, can the real murderer be brought to justice?
Now, it’s only the first chapter... (To be continued...)
