Rules-based ghost talk game

"I don't belong anymore..."

Chen Dahai's last murmur appeared in Chen An's mind. If possible, his lips would be tightly pursed at this moment, his face would be pale, and his pupils would shrink.

But along the way, I have experienced so many things, just like Chen An's own feelings before the Ruandu incident...

He gradually became a little... numb.

Like a puppet of fate, moving forward aimlessly and haphazardly.

At this moment, Chen An's thoughts were in a trance. He stared blankly at himself and the other three people "walking" deep into the woods.

The coldness and humidity, the drifting gray mist, these familiar scenery could not bring him any excitement at the moment.

Because at this moment, he is just a "spirit body", a spiritual body with consciousness.

The physical body...has already left here.

...

...

As the group left the story world and returned to Ebony Town, Chen An found that the townspeople looked at him and others differently.

"Is it because we passed the test of Happy Town?"

Chen An was slightly surprised. He looked at the townspeople next to him who were wearing the same NPC costumes as in the "Western Fantasy Adventure Game", and looked at them with a friendly smile.

"Congratulations."

A woman with some freckles on her face raised her eyebrows slightly. She came to Chen An's side and said softly: "Congratulations, you have passed the level."

"Well, thank you."

Chen An felt a little confused.

"Everyone." At this moment, Tuzi Moore spoke. He looked at everyone with a smile and said loudly: "The Skull Hunter Tavern is where we met. After so much, our third game It’s over, why not go to the pub to relax again?”

It's almost time to say goodbye.

Chen An's heart sank slightly, his eyes flickered slightly, and a slight sense of sadness filled his heart.

Although there is not much cooperation in Happy Town, as this group of "more reliable partners in the story world since I became a player", I still feel a little bit reluctant to let go.

"Amitabha, whatever form you see is emptiness."

Gu Laiyin said the Buddha's name, with a gentle face and clasped hands, still looking like a smiling monk.

Luo Qi shook her head, her red lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, she hesitated for another two seconds, and finally said coldly: "Yeah."

The four of them came to the Skull Hunter Tavern. When they left, there were five of them, and when they came back, there were four of them.

Chen An sighed slightly and glanced in the direction of Happy Town. Ling Qinglin probably wouldn't be able to get out.

He chose to kill Ling Anruo because he was alone, and he chose not to let other teammates give up hope of survival because of him.

He chose to stay in the story world and accepted the falsehood, also because... he was alone, just alone.

He saw clearly the cowardice and incompetence in his heart, and chose to end everything and return to "happiness".

Chen An looked at the people in the tavern. The drinkers were laughing or cursing as usual. The smell of alcohol and sweat around them made him feel uncomfortable.

The four of them came to the spot where they first gathered and sat down as they did at the beginning.

"What to drink?" Tuzi Moore looked at everyone and asked.

But Chen An was a little absent-minded. He could say that Ling Qinglin was cowardly, and he finally chose to escape... But who is not like this?

Alas, if you keep cutting it, it will become messy.

Suddenly noticing Tu Zi's words, Chen An subconsciously said: "Light beer."

Immediately afterwards, he said: "Don't be obsessed with incense powder."

etc?

Speaking of this, Chen An thought of John again, the "old buddy" who survived the Ruandu incident.

John escaped from the soft capital in advance and avoided Chen Quan's conspiracy, but unexpectedly became the owner of this tavern and experienced some strange inheritances.

Thinking of this, Chen An couldn't help but get up, follow Tuzi Moore's footsteps, and come to the bar.

"Isn't John already dead?"

Muttering in his heart, Chen An walked to the bar. Fortunately, he saw the strong man with prosthetic legs and wearing a blue and white sailor T-shirt.

John with a beard.

John's face was obviously happy when he saw Chen An, but Chen An noticed that John's face was a little embarrassed. The man looked at Tu Zi and then at Chen An, as if he had something to say that was not easy to say in front of outsiders.

Waiting quietly for Tuzi to finish buying the beer, Chen An smiled and said, "Uncle Tuzi, this is my old friend. I'll have a few words with him."

Tuzi nodded and said, "I'll go back first."

...

...

"Can you still go back?"

Chen An and everyone's "spirits" went deeper and further, and he clearly looked at the misty range of the surrounding misty forest. The different shapes of the cold, damp soil and white mist indicated how far they had traveled. Far...

It’s at least over two thousand meters now!

In the original setting of "Happy Town", the misty forest two kilometers away is a restricted area for humans.

But what surprised Chen An was that there weren't any weirdos here, no mature black-haired weirdos, no traces of humans, foxes, or tree weirdos.

After arriving two thousand meters away, the forest became gloomier in a trance. The light here was difficult to penetrate through the dense canopy of trees. It was obviously daytime, but it still felt like night.

They are still walking, and they don't know how long they will go.

Chen An didn't know what would happen after they reached the end, and it was difficult to know. It might be the end of life, or it might be something more thrilling and terrifying.

...

...

"Master An." John was busy in the wine barrels behind for a while. Then when he saw Tu Zi leaving, he looked at Chen An with a sigh of relief and whispered: "You are... passing the third A game?”

Chen An nodded slightly, took the light beer pushed by John, and looked down. There was no light green powder in the yellow-white foam.

After taking a sip, he said: "Luckily, one of the five people sacrificed... At least, after passing the level, it's all over."

Seeing this, John couldn't help but look at Chen An even more.

During this time, he was working as a bar owner to earn a living, and he heard a lot about Ebony Town and Happy Town. There were also some "outsiders" coming to Ebony Town to rest, stay briefly, replenish supplies, etc.

Compared with when Chen An first came, John now knows a lot that he didn't know at the time.

John swallowed and tried to calm his breathing.

Seeing his appearance, Chen An couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"What's wrong?"

John shook his head, leaned down, looked at Chen An with a pair of slightly frightened and confused eyes, and whispered:

"Master An, as far as I know, no one has actually passed this game... and..."

John's voice became smaller and smaller, which made Chen An get closer.

"There are four story worlds near Ebony Town, namely 'Happy Town', 'Warm Town', 'Ordinary Town' and 'Inverted Pyramid'."

John's voice became more and more trembling.

"Master An, during the time when you went to the story world, I received an outsider. A group of five of them went to the 'Ordinary Town'..."

"Three days ago, all five of them came back. They said they passed the test of the story world."

"I still remember that they were three men and two women, all of whom were of distinguished status... Some were young masters from Funong, and some were nobles from Elt... But three days ago, they said that after they cleared the game..."

"But they all chose."

"Stay in Ebony Town and live forever."

Speaking of this, Chen An noticed that John was looking at him more and more...strangely.

It was a bit frightening, a bit awe-inspiring, a bit entangled, and a bit strange.

Listening to John's words, Chen An couldn't help but have a strange thought in his mind.

He swallowed secretly.

Are things in Happy Town not over yet?

But they did leave...

However, there are actually four story worlds...probably divided through the misty forest, and the "tree" I encountered at that time was in charge of only the "Happy Town" area.

"You mean...those players who cleared the level from 'Ordinary Town' chose to stay in Ebony Town..."

Chen An looked at John and whispered: "This makes me feel a bit like... choosing to be ordinary?"

Like the aftereffects of the story world.

John nodded, as if he was relieved after listening to Chen An's words.

He smiled bitterly:

"Master An, my old John, to be honest, you really scared me when you first said you had cleared the level."

"Because those five people... I always feel that after they 'cleared the customs', they seemed to be different people. There was a girl among them. She was enthusiastic when we first met, but when we met for the second time, she was gentle and like a good person.

Lady..."

"But looking at you now, you should have really passed the level."

Hearing John's words, Chen An also breathed a sigh of relief.

Also... Thinking about Luo Qi, Gu Laiyin and Tuzi Moore, there are no changes in their personalities.

But the story world near Ebony Town is really scary...

...

In order not to keep Tu Zi and others waiting too long, Chen An temporarily agreed with John to talk later and returned to the table with everyone's drinks.

Tu Zi and Gu Laiyin seemed to be talking about something. When they saw Chen An coming back, they all looked at him.

"Chen An, we just had a discussion." Tuzi Moore looked at Chen An with a smile and said, "You know everything about Happy Town, right?"

"Ah?" Chen An was slightly startled. Who knows what? Are you referring to the original rules and experiences?

"Probably." Chen An scratched his head.

Tuzi Moore nodded and looked at Gu Laiyin beside him.

Luo Qi, on the other hand, stood up, stretched, and then sat down again.

On the brown sofa, she was originally sitting on the far left, and Chen An was on the far right.

Now, she sat next to Chen An.

"Three months." Tuzi Moore raised three fingers, looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "Gu Laiyin and I will go back to the family, take out the sealed artifacts of our respective families, and make some preparations..."

"Luo Qi will reach her 'eighth stage' and become a tribute."

"Chen An, we don't know your situation...but in short, we will meet again in three months at the Paradise Ceremony."

Chen An blinked.

What are you... talking about?

He suddenly felt that he was out of tune with this world.

Suddenly, Chen An felt a little soft. He lowered his head slightly and found that Luo Qi suddenly "fell" in his arms. The cold body exuded a touch of warmth, and a little peaceful fragrance spread to him from the tips of her hair.

of the nasal cavity.

"The eighth stage requires returning from ruthlessness to affection..." Luo Qi clung to Chen An's ear, her red lips opened slightly, her white teeth gently bit Chen An's earlobe, and said: "Time...

It’s not enough, let’s combine for the sake of the blissful ceremony.”

Tuzi Moore looked at Luo Qi's posture, and the corners of his smile curved into a more wanton arc.

His originally honest and trustworthy face now showed a hint of ferocity.

"All for the Blissful Ceremony, Praise, the Hanged Lord." Tuzi Moore said.

Gu Laiyin clasped his hands together, a slightly strange look on his gentle face.

"Amitabha, all forms you see are empty... Praise be to my Lord, the Lord who hangs upside down."

Chen An's ears were itching slightly and he heard Luo Qi's slightly angry voice.

"Ann, our child will become the Lord's vessel...I..."

Chen An felt Luo Qi's body trembling slightly, as if she thought of something that made her extremely excited.

"It is our honor to praise the Hanged Lord." Luo Qi's voice penetrated Chen An's ears.

at the same time.

The surrounding drinkers all stood up and looked at Chen An and others with envy in their brows.

And Chen An is...

His face is extremely wonderful, and his heart is even more wonderful.

Although I don't know what happened...but something must have happened that I don't know about.

And now, it seems that I...

It's like falling into a strange lair...

The hanging master...which one are they talking about? The false "monster" path, or the real "idiot" path?

But now...we need to figure out the situation...

John...didn't lie to himself...

But I know very well...I must still be myself...

But these "people" regard themselves as "same kind"...

Suddenly, Luo Qi supported the sofa with her arms, and her face changed from the side of Chen An's head to facing Chen An's face.

Her cold face turned a little rosy at this moment, her eyes blinked slightly, and she seemed to be looking at Chen An with some doubts.

Gu Laiyin and Tuzi on the side suddenly fell silent.

They all stood up and looked at Chen An.

Chen An, you shouldn't have no reaction.

so,

Chen An closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of enthusiasm.

"Praise be to the Hanged Lord."

"Luo Qi, I agree."
