Starting to make a ghost story game from Sadako

—《Starting to Make Ghost Story Games from Sadako》 Chapter 291 The Witch

The girl doesn’t look very old, probably just over eleven or twelve years old, her big watery eyes are clear and bright, but now they are filled with sorrow, and when she frowns slightly, it feels like the sorrow is about to overflow.

Such a smart little girl seems out of place in this village full of deformed monsters. Even a newbie in the game can see at a glance that she is the key figure in promoting the game.

“What’s wrong? Little friend, is there anything I can help with?” Hua Jun stepped forward and bent down and smiled. She was originally a sunny and cheerful person, and the smile on her face made her look very energetic, which easily won the favor and trust of others.

But this advantage could not be brought into play in front of the little girl. The little girl glanced at her fearfully, and then walked away with a brisk pace, her pigtails shaking. She could only be heard muttering: "Auntie Mei is not crazy, they are all lying, I have to quickly get back the things Auntie Mei gave me."

"This little girl ignores people?" Hua Jun said helplessly.

"Maybe you need to complete certain tasks to trigger the plot. Find her later. She is definitely an important NPC." Wen Qi affirmed: "And I just received a system prompt and know whose home this house is."

[Task prompt]: "Congratulations, you have found the witch's home. Maybe you can go in and try to communicate with the witch. She participated in the entire exorcism process of Chu Renmei at that time, and maybe she can help you get useful information."

"Let's go in and take a look." Wen Qi said and raised his legs to walk inside, but just as he reached the door, the vicious spell engraved on the wall began to bleed lightly, turning into twisted hands entangled with each other, covering the entire door tightly.

"No matter what you are here for, as the saying goes, the secrets of heaven cannot be leaked, and things involving ghosts and gods should not be known by too many people. You should go back." A hoarse and old voice sounded in the house, making people feel like sawing wood in their ears. He didn't even want to ask about their purpose and directly ordered them to leave.

"Boss, the old woman in here is still arrogant. Do you want me to raze this broken house to the ground and teach her a lesson?" Qin Ge said fiercely with a bomb in each hand.

The other few people had already experienced so many times and knew that their teammates were outright bomb maniacs, so they didn't need to say anything when they saw the bomb. Everyone rushed up and held him down immediately.

"Don't! Save your temper! The world is so beautiful, can you not be so irritable?" Wen Qi felt his head buzzing, rubbed his eyebrows and said: "It seems that Qin Laozi has already prepared to prevent players from forming teams to complete tasks in turns. As long as there are people who have not received the task, the task will not be triggered."

"Let's complete it in different groups according to the tasks we received, because the communication function in this copy is blocked. Everyone should be careful about everything. If you think you are going to die, remember to leave clues before you die."

Hearing Wen Qi's words without any human touch, everyone grinned at the same time. Although they have been together for a long time and have a certain understanding of his character, it is still a bit speechless to be so straightforward.

But everyone still chose to listen to him and divided into groups to perform their respective tasks.

"Now there are only two of us left, can we go in?"

"The number of people is enough, but I don't see your sincerity." The voice in the house sounded again, still refusing the two to enter.

Sincerity?

"What sincerity?" Wen Qi was puzzled, but the room fell into silence, obviously asking him to figure it out himself.

"Boss, the sincerity she's talking about isn't that?" Qin Ge pointed to a stone basin in the corner in front of the door.

This mossy stone basin is nothing special. It's the size of a human head. There's water in the basin that's about to overflow, and there's about half a fingernail's height. And underneath it lies a full half basin of copper coins that are round outside and square inside, with something like blood on them.

"If your sincerity is enough, the water in the stone basin will overflow." There was no specific instruction in the room, but the meaning was self-evident.

Do you want the water to overflow? It doesn't seem too difficult.

Wen Qi opened his backpack and looked at the remaining one thousand yuan. He dropped a hundred yuan with a painful heart. The coins automatically turned into copper coins when they entered the water.

This is all the wealth accumulated by risking one's life and fighting in Jingling City. I usually don't want to buy props, but now I have to use them to make splashes, which is really distressing.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult to obtain money in "The Old Days". The official recharge channel is 1:100, and the ratio of the studio will be higher. Almost one dollar can be exchanged for 120 game coins, but now "The Old Days" has just been launched, and there are not many channels for the output of game coins.

In addition, once the player dies, the props on his body will fall, so it is necessary to keep buying props, and the output of game coins cannot keep up with the consumption of players.

Especially for players like Wen Qi who use liver to exchange for krypton, every penny is the hard-earned money saved by frugality, in order to use it on the blade.

The water splashed high, the coins slowly sank, and Wen Qi's heart slowly sank, and the height of half a fingernail immediately rose by half.

"It's almost there. It looks like it's only a little bit away from overflowing." Qin Ge quickly cheered and encouraged: "It's just a little bit away."

Wen Qi pursed his lips. One hundred yuan had gone down. If he didn't continue to invest now, it would be like losing money. So he lost another hundred yuan, and the water level rose by one-third again.

"Why is this? Just now the price of one hundred yuan has increased by one-half, but now it has only increased by one-third of the remaining one-half!?"

"Boss, I understand. This basin is a semi-ellipsoid. The area gets larger as you go up, so the price rises less and less. Try investing another two hundred yuan? After all, the two hundred yuan has gone down."

There was a hesitant look on Wen Qi's face, but he was unwilling to accept the small distance, and Qin Ge kept instigating him, so he ruthlessly invested another two hundred yuan.

The water splashed, just like his broken heart.

"I estimate it's 99%." In order to prove his rigor, Qin Ge deliberately lay down at the same height as the stone basin to avoid being too big or too small.

"Tmd! Isn't this stone basin made by Pin Xixi? Others can't cut it out with 60,000 yuan, but I can't fill this stone basin with 60,000 yuan?" Wen Qi couldn't hold it in any longer, and it was a rare explosion. Made a swear word.

"No, not really." The smile on Qin Ge's face became a little perfunctory, his eyes glanced around, and he whispered insincerely: "Sixty thousand yuan is not enough, forty or fifty thousand is enough."

This is a design that accurately grasps the small distance that players see and then is unwilling to let go of the sunk cost. Even a calm person like Wen Qi cannot resist this temptation. It seems necessary to apply this design to the entire game. He Keep this thought in mind silently.

"Why? Why!?" Wen Qi was almost going crazy. He had invested a thousand yuan in it, but he still missed that little bit that was almost invisible to the naked eye. He stared at the stone basin with red eyes and said: " Take out your bomb, I want this broken pot of Pin Xixi to blow up."

It's strange to say that people usually don't care about ten or twenty yuan, but when these ten or twenty yuan are charged into the game, they feel that the value has been magnified many times, and they attach great importance to it.

"Well, we should have done this a long time ago." Qin Ge handed the bomb to his hand as if he had already prepared it. His eyes were full of expectation, hoping that he would blow up the stone basin and the entire house immediately.

Veins popped out in Wen Qi's hands holding the bomb, but he never ignited it. Instead, he kept taking deep breaths and forcing himself to calm down. His eyes gradually returned to clarity, and he stared at the money in the stone basin and fell into deep thought.

It seems he has an idea.

Qin Ge realized that he seemed to have seen the clues, so he did not pretend to be dead. He reached out to fish out the stone basin, and while Wen Qi was dumbfounded, he put all the money into his backpack. The part that goes down.

"Let's go. It seems that we won't go in if we don't have enough sincerity. We'd better think of another way."

"The money in this can be taken out?" Wen Qi felt that his IQ was severely humiliated. He always thought that this stone basin was something with a powerful curse attached, and if the money was thrown in, it could not be taken back. As a result, Except it doesn't hold enough, it's just an ordinary stone basin.

"Come back!" An angry roar came from the room, "Put down the money in the stone basin!"

Qin Ge walked forward indifferently, ignoring the roar behind him, until the twisted hand blocking the door turned into dirty blood and flowed back into the spell.

"Come in." The voice in the room was full of helplessness.

He chuckled. In fact, this is the correct way to deal with it. It depends on whether the player can discover the greedy nature of the goddess. The reason why he chose to help Wen Qi is because he already suspected that he would find out sooner or later.

If the player is a rich man, it is okay to fill up the stone basin. This is also a way to deal with it.

"That...my thousand..."

Wen Qi wanted to ask for his more than a thousand yuan back, but Qin Ge seemed not to hear him and waved his hand away and said: "I have long said that this old woman is rubbing her nose and face, so you can't spoil her, right? "

"Yes, my thousand..."

"If she dares to do this later, we will just use bombs to blow this place up to the sky."

"You're right, but can you give me my money..."

Qin Ge opened the door of the wooden house, and the cold atmosphere in the house suddenly surged out, just like the cold air accumulated in the house came out when he opened the door after returning home in the scorching summer heat.

It's just that it's refreshing, but it makes people get goosebumps unconsciously.

There is only one room in the huge house, and the only poor lighting left is the crumbling candlelight in the surrounding corners. The thick ink-like darkness seems to have the essence of life, constantly creeping and spreading, and from time to time there are desperate and deformed faces. The outline of a human face emerges from the darkness, bursts like a bubble, and returns to the darkness again.

And in the innermost part, there is a tall, thin, twisted figure sitting on the ground. Tall and thin should be two words that are difficult to connect, but it fits perfectly with this figure.

Even though its waist and neck were hunched, it reached the ceiling. Its limbs were obviously so thin that only bones were left, but its belly was as round as if it had been pregnant for ten months. The whole room was filled with an unspeakable stench, like a foul smell. The sewer is like a dead fish that has been suffocating under the quilt for seven days in the summer, almost making people vomit directly.

Wen Qi resisted the urge to vomit and walked closer to see the true face of the figure in front of him with the weak candlelight. It was simply a human-shaped toad, with sparse gray hair clinging to the skin full of bumps, and the eyes that occupied half of the face narrowed into a slit, and underneath was an exaggeratedly huge mouth, saliva kept dripping down.

The most eye-catching thing was its belly, which was swollen like a pufferfish. Through the thin belly that was stretched to almost translucent, you could see copper coins with blood-red eyeballs in the middle on the ground.

They seemed to sense that there were outsiders coming, and all adjusted their directions and cast their resentful eyes over.

Even though Wen Qi was well-informed, he was still shocked by the horrifying monster scene in front of him. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to speak. He could only say uncertainly: "Witch?"

"What are you doing here?" The witch's big mouth opened and closed, and it seemed that there was a lump of phlegm stuck in her throat. She spoke unclearly: "You are not from this village."

"We are a team here to shoot a documentary about Huangshan Village."

Wen Qi regretted it as soon as he said it. He remembered that he suddenly entered this bizarre world from a deserted Huangshan Village. He still couldn't figure out what was going on. Could this human-shaped toad in front of him understand what it meant to shoot a documentary?

And from all indications, this bizarre Huangshan Village seemed to be a long time ago, and television should not have been born at that time.

And from the information, almost everyone in Huangshan Village died, and this witch should be no exception.

"Oh?" The witch's eyes, which had been narrowed into slits, suddenly opened, and she was immediately interested, "So what do you want to know?"

It seems that it knows what it means to shoot a documentary. Can't we use real-life thinking to guess the world?

After carefully considering his words, he said again: "We came from other villages. I heard that there is a crazy woman named Chu Renmei who is pregnant with a demon fetus in Huangshan Village."

When the witch heard the three words Chu Renmei, an expression that she didn't know how to describe appeared on her face. Her mouth opened wide as if it was dislocated, and the eyes in her belly lit up with a scarlet glow at the same time.

Wen Qi felt that he was being stared at by countless pairs of eyes at the same time. For a socially anxious person, this feeling of being the center of attention was particularly obvious. Just when he felt uncomfortable, the witch's mouth closed, grinned and said: "That was a dirty and ominous woman. I feel a similar aura on you."
