Chapter 726 Points Ranking
The pressure on my body suddenly dropped.
If Lin Mo couldn't seize this opportunity, he wouldn't be alive until now.
He also had a knife hidden in his waist.
Take it out now and stab it forward.
It was pitch black, and I didn’t know where the stabbing was, but it was just random stabbing.
The opponent also stabbed, and the scene was very chaotic for a time.
At this moment, the man opposite Lin Mo seemed to trip over something and fell to the ground with a thud.
Lin Mo took the opportunity to go up and stab him. He should have hit the vital point. The opponent struggled for a while and stopped moving.
To be honest, Lin Mo had never experienced such an intense close-quarters fight before. In the past, when fighting in the nightmare world, nightmares would help. Most of the time, Lin Mo would sit at the back and strategize.
safer.
This time was different, it was really hard work.
At this moment, Lin Mo saw a series of prompts emerge.
"Player: Mental patient, you successfully killed the player 'irritable patient' and received the killing reward."
Behind this string of prompts, there was a coin suspended, shining in the dark. Lin Mo tried to reach out and got it.
The reward is a coin.
Lin Mo took stock of the situation.
"The one I killed this time was a player?"
Lin Mo knelt down and shined a small flashlight on the other person's face.
He knows.
Isn't this the same person who pretended to be Qin Tian at the beginning?
Haven't you been killed by yourself once before?
Lin Mo thought for a moment, then understood something in his heart.
"The opponent had a life before, so he can be resurrected. The game positions him as an 'irritable patient', which means that this guy is a very impulsive person. After suffering a big loss, the opponent can't wait to come back for revenge, so he Only then will you have the key to this house in your hand.”
Many of the previous points are true at this moment.
In other words, the second time Lin Mo killed the opponent just now, he was truly killed.
And this person, like him, is a 'player' of this game.
It seems that only by killing other players can you directly obtain coins. From a side perspective, coins are very important in this game and are key props.
"So in the initial scene, I was able to get 4 coins because the initial scene was a benefit of the Novice Village?" Lin Mo smiled.
He didn't expect that this game could be connected to the Internet, but the problem was that this thing was a stand-alone game.
The so-called Internet is definitely not connected to the ‘Internet’, but to the nightmare world.
From the current point of view, this "Death Chamber" game is well worth exploring. Not only is it inextricably linked to the nightmare world, but it also has things like the clown fortune teller.
It's like a really powerful fortune teller who can figure out some secrets and solve some problems.
Of course, whether the answer given by the Clown Divination Machine is true or not still needs to be verified, but as long as the verification is passed, this thing is definitely a 'strategic level' important weapon and must be controlled.
As for the other ‘players’ here, this is also something to focus on.
After all, Lin Mo has just played, and he has already seen that this game is not simple. If he is an experienced player, what can the other party get from this game?
What if it’s someone with evil intentions?
Lin Mo discovered that in addition to getting a coin directly as a reward, he also got something.
"After you complete the kill, the scene score will increase by 5%; your personal points will increase by 50. At the same time, the 'social' function will be turned on."
A survival horror game actually has a ‘social’ function?
Quite unique.
As expected, Lin Mo saw an icon composed of multiple figures appearing on the panel.
Click to take a look.
There is a friends column.
It is currently empty and has no friends.
The enemy column is also empty.
In addition to this, there is also a ranking list.
Lin Mo was very curious. He clicked on it and saw a row of game IDs listed. Only the top ten were listed.
The last line is Lin Mo's game ID "Psycho", currently has 100 points and ranks 27th.
Looking at the top ten, the number one player has reached 4750 points, and his game ID is ‘Player’.
This is one of the top gods.
But Lin Mo stared at this 'player' and couldn't help but have associations in his mind.
"Isn't this guy the one I met last time at Shuguang Toy Factory?" Lin Mo muttered.
They are all called ‘players’.
This may be a coincidence, but Lin Mo has previously analyzed that the 'player' must have had incredible adventures, otherwise how could he get such horrific taboo nightmares as the 'Head-Beaver' or the 'Old Woman Who Orders Doudou'.
The other party’s adventure might be this ‘Death Room’ game.
Of course, these are all Lin Mo's guesses. Whether they are true or not needs to be verified.
How to verify?
Lin Mo decided to directly add this ‘player’ on the list as a friend.
It depends on whether the other party passes or not.
So next through the social function, Lin Mo sent a friend application to the other party.
Of course, in order to understand the situation of the entire game, Lin Mo took advantage of his social status and sent friend requests to all the top ten players on the list.
The application messages are all consistent.
"I'm a newbie, please take care of me!"
First lower your stance and hold the other person up. Generally speaking, the other person will agree regardless of their personality.
Then try to find some way to get some useful information from them.
The application has been sent out, but there may not be a reply for a while.
Temporarily close the social panel.
Lin Mo still focused on the scene in front of him.
He looked carefully and saw that the person on the ground who tripped just now was actually a stool leg of a wheelchair. Sitting on this chair was the real Qin Tian, staring at him as if he was laughing at the person on the ground.
Lin Mo remembered that this guy was on the other side before. When did he come here?
The body must be too dead to come here on its own.
That's when something pushed the chair.
Lin Mo knew who it was.
He walked back to the display case where the figures were displayed and saw that the female student's figure was still there.
This time Lin Mo reached out and took the other person over.
"Congratulations, the mission goal of 'finding the ghost hidden here' has been achieved and scene No. 12 has been cleared."
"Player: Mental patient, time: 1 hour, 19 minutes and 31 seconds;"
"Operation character: Xu Min in madman form; plot completion 31%; prop collection 20%; number of deaths 0 times."
"Comprehensive evaluation is C grade."
"Reward 1 coin, all scene props can be inherited, and the 'Horror Corridor' scene is unlocked. You can now go to the 'Horror Corridor' scene. Do you want to go? (YES/NO)"
Lin Mo looked at it carefully.
Obviously, he did not play this game scene number 12 well, so the completion level is very average. The plot completion level is only 31%, and only one-fifth of the props have been collected.
So the rating is only C grade.
Belongs to a very common category.
The reward of 1 coin was okay, so I had two more coins on hand.
Lin Mo doesn't plan to go immediately after unlocking a new scene.
At present, he already has a certain understanding of the game 'Death Chamber', and he also knows how people died before.
If it were just an investigation into this VR game death incident, he would have been able to produce a relatively complete report.
He had to do these things.
Keep the two coins for later use.
Because Lin Mo had to first verify whether what the clown fortune teller said before was true.
He also needs to arrange this.
Take off the VR device.
Lin Mo explained the situation clearly to Song Qian and the five agents.
Regarding this mysterious death in the game, they need to write a specific report. Of course, Lin Mo will have to review it in the end.
Everyone got to work immediately.
Lin Mo stood up and made a phone call.
…
Almost all the dummies that have surfaced in Qianlong City have been cleared away.
Kill some and capture some.
There are also those who betray the dummy organization and join the General Administration. Of course, this part also needs to be strictly controlled.
There are still some results, but everyone knows that if the source of the dummy is not found, the matter will not be finished. Just cutting the grass without removing the roots will definitely not work.
But no matter how I investigated before, I couldn't find any source of the dummy.
The main reason is that all the dummies don't know where they came from, and this part of their memory does not exist at all.
Originally, he had no clue about this matter, but Lin Mo didn't expect that he would find clues about the origin of the dummy in a horror game.
No. 13, Lijia Street, Longmian District, Qianlong City.
Lin Mo never delays doing things. After he came out of the game, he immediately gathered people to go to the place where the clown fortune teller had said.
The clown fortune teller said that the origin of the dummy is in a painting here.
Before coming, Lin Mo had already found clues about No. 13 Lijia Street.
Longmian District is the old town of Qianlong City.
How old?
Since the birth of Qianlong City, Longmian District has existed.
This place used to be alleys with bungalows in the early years, but many of them have been preserved to this day, and they have all become Xiangwowo. In the past few years, any yard could be sold for a sky-high price.
Some courtyards have been renovated and some big shots, rich bosses, or celebrities have lived in them.
But after the nightmare broke out, the place became much deserted.
Because people who could live here before can still live in Qianlong Safe Zone now.
However, even big shots cannot have the same living environment in the safe zone as outside. The living area is different.
Naturally, some things at home, which are not particularly valuable, will not be brought into the safe area.
"No. 13, Lijia Street, is a five-square-meter courtyard. It was just renovated three years ago. The current owner's surname is Zhang. He is in his forties. He once worked as an investment manager in a large institution. I heard that a few years ago You have achieved financial freedom." A police officer assisting in the investigation said next to him.
"Where are the people?" Lin Mo asked.
"We've made contact. You'll be here in a while." The police officer looked at Lin Mo.
He and Lin Mo are about the same age, but their status is completely different.
Lin Mo was the commander-in-chief of the entire dummy operation. Even their director had to obey orders and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
In less than five minutes, people arrived.
The other party was a little panicked when they saw such a big battle.
Even if you are a person at the elite level of society and have managed many leaders, you will still have stage fright when you really face this kind of scene.
Lin Mo looked at Mr. Zhang.
Not fat, with a well-proportioned body shape. It can be seen that he works out regularly and takes good care of himself.
Communicate briefly and find out that the other person has a hobby of collecting art.
It is said that this is also a means of increasing wealth.
For example, some world-famous paintings, even though they cost hundreds of thousands or millions to buy, are very expensive, and they are not worth eating or drinking. They seem to be a pure loss, but the value of the artwork is not greater than its own use value.
In times of disaster or raging wars, no matter how awesome a painting is, it's just a piece of paper, and it's hard to wipe your butt.
But when you have no worries about food and clothing and live a prosperous life, it will be different.
Buy it back and keep it for a few years before entrusting it to an auction house to sell it. With luck, it may double.
"But it can't be done now. The world is not right. All the paintings I collected before have been thrown into my hands. But I have made back all the money I should have earned in the past few years. It doesn't matter. I also like it, so I put it at home to see and appreciate by myself. .”
Mr. Zhang is telling.
Lin Mo smiled, listened, and observed the other person.
Nothing unusual was found.
The other person is not a dummy.
There is no special nightmare aura about him, just like everyone else.
"You haven't been back for a long time, haven't you?" Lin Mo suddenly asked.
Mr. Zhang nodded: "I haven't come back since the nightmare came, and I didn't come back much before. I bought the property here more than ten years ago to increase its value."
As expected of an investor, I can only say three things about my profession.
"Is there something wrong with my house? Or is there something wrong with the paintings inside?" Mr. Zhang was not stupid at all. He couldn't help but ask at this time.
"If there is any problem, I have to go and take a look first. Do you have the key with you?"
"Take it with you, here it is." Mr. Zhang took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, found one from the top, took it off, and stuffed it directly into Lin Mo's hand.
"Mr. Zhang, aren't you going in?" Lin Mo asked curiously.
"No, no, I'm afraid of causing trouble to you. Besides, I trust you, so I'll wait outside. Don't worry, you can do whatever you want inside, just like you would at home." Mr. Zhang said with a smile.
This person is indeed a thief.
The other party knew that Lin Mo and the others were from the Security Bureau.
He obviously knows what the Security Bureau does, and the problems here are obvious at first glance. As smart as he is, there is no way he would risk going in.
Although no one said there would be danger inside, he could feel it.
In fact, Lin Mo did not intend to let the other party in.
He has been out sensing for a long time.
There is something wrong in this house.
The concentration of the nightmare aura was twice that of other places. It was not particularly outstanding, but the vague sense of danger made Lin Mo understand that it was not simple.
"Okay, you can rest outside for a while."
Lin Mo took the key and walked in with several action team members.
The key was handed to the operations leader.
The other party opened the courtyard door first. This door was made of alloy imitation wood and was very strong.
The yard was not big, there was a tree, and the ground was neatly paved with blue bricks. As the door opened, Lin Mo saw the room where the collection was stored.
There are not only paintings in this room, but also other things.
There are a lot of porcelain, as well as some calligraphy works, but here Chinese and Western-style paintings are in the same room, and oil paintings and calligraphy and paintings are placed together, which always feels very inconsistent.
There are many paintings here, and Lin Mo easily found the one in question.
He is a 'high monk'.
The name of the painting and some basic information are posted below the frame.
It is a masterpiece from a modern painter of the last century.
The year of creation is hundreds of years ago.
The painting shows an old monk with his hands clasped together and his head raised while chanting sutras. Behind him is a temple scene with a Buddha statue. The paintings are lifelike, with impeccable use of lines and colors.
Especially that kind of artistic conception, there is a profound sense of compassion for all sentient beings.
Just looking at the painting, it is definitely a great work.
For works from a hundred years ago, both the monks on the paintings and the painters who painted them have long since passed away, so they can be sold at high prices.
The problem is this painting.
If you look at it in the real world, you can't see anything.
I can only feel the strong aura of nightmare in this painting.
The key is to see what this painting looks like in the nightmare world after falling into the dream.
"I'll go in and take a look, you guys wait for my news."
Lin Mo gave an order.
The action team following him has cooperated many times. They are very professional. Not only can they fight in the real world, but they are also semi-experts in the nightmare world.
But it was because of this that they became more aware of how terrifying Lin Mo was.
There are already rumors in the bureau that Lin Mo will become the fourth special expert of the bureau in a short time.
Special experts are at the top of the Security Bureau expert circle.
So whatever Lin Mo said, they would do it without compromise.
After finding a stool and making it, Lin Mo closed his eyes and fell asleep instantly.
