Abnormal paradise

【Sapphire Necklace】

Type: Mission/Special Item

Function: unknown

Introduction: This mysterious necklace obtained from the Apostle of Chaos seems to hide an unknown secret.

[Hint: The fifth guard seems to have information about this necklace. 】

[Tip: This item cannot be taken out of this assessment space. 】

…

Seeing the prompt, Yi Yan immediately put the necklace in front of the fifth guard officer, and then noticed that the other officer showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. It seemed that it was because of this unexpected discovery that his chest heaved, and he coughed several times, causing congestion in his abdomen. squirt.

"Ahem... So that's it... You have to hold on to this necklace and never fall into the hands of the Chaos Apostles again!" The somewhat excited fifth guard officer reluctantly raised his voice, "They want to take it away. There is an anomalous project [Active Software] in my jurisdiction, and this necklace is the key to unlocking the anomalous ban. If you have the opportunity, you must hand it over to the person in charge. If an accident occurs, remember to destroy it."

…

Side mission: [Escort Key]

Requirement: Please hand over the ban key of the abnormal project [Active Software] to the supervisor of Hidden Facility No. 19

Reward: Contribution Points

Introduction: Active software is an important anomaly that has been studied by the Foundation for a long time. One of the purposes of the Chaos Apostle's attack is to take it away. Now, the fifth guard officer requires you to hand over the ban key to the top manager. At that time, you will get a certain reward. And if an accident occurs, the key must be destroyed. If it falls into the hands of a third party, the mission will be deemed a failure.

[Tip: The specific location of the top manager can be found in the control center. 】

…

Side mission?

"The requirement is that it must be handed over to the top executive, but the location of the top executive cannot be known until reaching the control center. This condition is a bit harsh. Could it be due to the existence of an insider?"

Ember gradually came to the conclusion that the plot arrangement of Anomaly Park was not as linear and straightforward as ordinary games. He felt that he should pay attention to this. Maybe any seemingly friendly Foundation member might be a bloodthirsty evil lurking in the dark. Wolf.

While he was deep in thought, the fifth guard officer glanced at an inconspicuous short black stick lying in the corner of the connecting platform.

"What a pity. In this battle, not only did I have to die, but even my personal weapon was completely scrapped. It was obviously a piece of inheritance equipment that was about to be formed, but in the end there was only a broken basic component left... Anyway, since I am going to die. What are you talking about? I'll just give you the remaining telescopic stick. It was the first weapon I got when I joined the foundation. Although most of it was damaged at this time, it happens to be in line with your current abilities. , take it and leave quickly..."

Even though he held on forcefully, he couldn't finish the last sentence. The fifth guard officer tilted his head and died sadly.

[Tip: The fifth guard officer will transfer the use rights of the weapon "Damaged Telescopic Stick" to you. 】

The death of the fifth guard officer left Ember silent, because the scene in front of him was so real, as if he really saw a life passing away quietly. Shaking his head, he stood up. The first priority was to leave the endless stairs as quickly as possible instead of wasting time. When he set out to return, he took a look at the first piece of equipment he got.

…

[Damaged Telescopic Stick] (Light/Basic)

Weapon quality: Excellent

Attack distance: very short

Damage level: Very weak

Equipment special effects: none

Requirements: None

Introduction: As a basic component of a piece of inherited equipment, despite being severely damaged, it still tenaciously maintains its intact form, but that's all. Having temporarily lost its ability to stretch, it can only provide you with an attack distance beyond that of your fist, plus an attack power that is not much stronger than your fist.

…

Damaged, very short, extremely weak.

"These affixes are really ugly, but no matter what you say, at least you have equipment!"

Ember swung vigorously a few times, and the power-sensing belt wrapped around his arm in the booster cabin tightened slightly when he reached the limit, accurately reflecting the force of the blow. The existence of the booster cabin greatly reduces physical exertion and can help users perform various extreme movements. Although Yi Yan does not have much gaming experience, he often exercises his body, and with the help of the booster cabin, he does not feel any discomfort. In addition, the new somatosensory suit launched by Singularity also makes the combat experience more realistic.

Although the short stick cannot be retracted, to be honest, Yi Yan is quite satisfied. As the saying goes, one inch is longer and one inch is stronger. The length of about thirty centimeters is naturally much more powerful than using fists alone.

After looking at the time, more than half of the five-minute time limit had passed. Yi Yan frowned and rushed upwards without saying a word.

However, before leaving, he still curiously used his flashlight to shine a light on the scene on the twentieth floor of the endless staircase. In an instant, the field of vision in front of him immediately took on the blurry texture of an old-fashioned movie. Sometimes there was a flash of strange light, and sometimes a chaotic scene appeared. . The little girl's cries became more obvious. Whenever she cried, the mold particles floating in the air flew wildly, as if there was an invisible big hand stirring the air.

Yi Yan did not forget the game prompts to act according to his "will", and his curiosity was not enough to urge him to step into the unknown danger. However, when he turned his head, he was shocked to find that the gray grimace that had disappeared with the rain tomorrow, It was actually floating in front of him.

The sudden scene startled Yi Yan, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly tightened his grip on the short stick in his hand, as if there was an infinite sense of security brewing in his hand, and subconsciously lashed out. At the same time, he also ushered in A test of will.

[Tip: You have been attacked by spirit derivatives, and you need to pass your will judgment to avoid this damage. 】

[Tip: Determination in progress... Your will level is two, the determination is successful, and the spirit derivatives cannot cause harm to you! 】

Like a body protected by divine light, the gray ghost face that was about to pounce on the ember was washed away by a burst of light, making it impossible to get close to the ember. Ghostface's attack here was thwarted, but Ember succeeded there. The telescopic stick suddenly struck, and the spirit creature derivatives were completely unable to avoid it. In an instant, a ghostly face shook again and again, and the spirit body trembled violently. While it was knocked erect, its luster also dimmed a lot.

ah……

The gray grimace that had been hit hard suddenly showed a frightened expression, and the black eye sockets twisted and expanded. It was obvious that Ember's subconscious counterattack made it suffer.

[Tip: You deal two points of damage to the spirit creature token. 】

In the middle of the battle, Ember naturally had no time to check the prompts. He just held his breath and kept beating the enemies in front of him.

The telescopic stick quickly passed through the middle of the ghost face, making the ember feel like it was brushing through the water waves. This was the effect of limited collision.

Of course, the combat mode of virtual games cannot completely copy reality, otherwise there will inevitably be a large number of cases of button-holes, ear-pulling, close-quarters and pushing. Therefore, when virtual games emerged, many game companies had already limited the attack methods and also continued to use the old ones. Rules - Limited Collision. Just like now, Ember hit a few sticks, causing the spirit creature to sway left and right, unable to get close at all. Although he couldn't easily beat it to death, this did not prevent the telescopic stick from passing through the gray ghost face and using it by the way. Push it aside hard.

Limited collision is widely used in various virtual combats. It is by no means a one-finger battle with ghosts. For example, you can knock back the opponent with one punch, but you cannot push the opponent ten meters forward with your fist.

Furthermore, the vast majority of players are not brave and skilled martial arts masters. If they really want to copy reality, they might break their wrists first if they stab someone with a knife. The emergence of limited collision has greatly reduced the difficulty of using various weapons, and at the same time, it has also tried to avoid the situation of being unilaterally beaten to death and unable to return the hand.

Getting back to the subject, Ember soon discovered that Gray Ghostface was not a highly intelligent monster. He was slashed and beaten so hard that he was unable to fight back. However, he had no sense of escape at all and was still waiting for opportunities to counterattack.

During the battle, he also gradually felt the limitations of his physical strength. After five consecutive attacks, his physical strength bottomed out, and the assist device turned into a resistance device. It was as if there were boulders pressing on his arms. It was difficult to lift his hands and it was even harder to attack. , especially since the new version of the somatosensory suit also had a similar effect, which prevented Yi Yan from reacting immediately and almost succeeded in being counterattacked by Gray Ghostface.

Fortunately, Ember had the upper hand in the battle. He calmly took a step back to distance himself, waited for his physical strength to recover, and then took advantage of the enemy's extremely low toughness to start fighting again. After three rounds of this, the gray ghost face finally fell into pieces, accompanied by a Roaring silently, his soul completely disappeared, leaving only a handful of gray dust scattered on the ground.

[Hint: You destroyed the spirit creature token. 】

Huh!

Something exploded!

Yi Yan was overjoyed and quickly collected the pile of dust.

…

【Wraith Spirit Dust】

Type: Disposable consumable items

Function: Make the target undergo a level (3) will determination. If the determination fails, the target will be attacked rationally and fall into a state of fear lasting 3 seconds (slight). The final effect is affected by the target's will level.

[Tip: If you want it to be effective, throw it accurately into the enemy's face. 】

[Tip: This item is a one-time consumable prop, which meets the strengthening conditions of this assessment, and the judgment level and effect are greatly improved. 】

…

nice one!

An extremely easy battle, which not only contributed 10% of the experience value to Ember, but also dropped a consumable item that may have miraculous effects. This made Ember very satisfied, and he carefully received the Wraith Dust. Breast pocket, he rushed up the stairs without looking back.

Because there is only one minute left for the mission left by the adjutant of the guard...
