Chapter 24 Surprise from the sky
"Oh..." Tu Lizhu started the car blankly and drove towards the hotel.
"The game only gives us a few basic backgrounds," said Qiu Jie. "What are we going to do? What is our mission? Are we investigating mysterious events in the hotel? Survive until dawn? No, we don't know all of this."
"Secret keeper, are you willing to answer this question? What is the goal of the game?" Bai Shaobao asked.
【When all investigators die or SAN value reaches zero, the game will automatically fail.】
"That's it?" Tu Lizhu seemed very disappointed.
"There were only failure conditions at the beginning but no victory conditions," said Qiu Jie. "This kind of plot often happens in those Japanese horror games."
"It is completely unclear what kind of state we are in and what challenges we will face." Bai Shaobao said gloomyly.
"The first thing we have to do is to find Sli, of course, but at the same time, I don't think we should go off the line," said Chen Qiang, a little curious about how the system would unfold the story from that simple outline. "At least, the press conference shouldn't be late."
"Do we have a cell phone?" Tu Lizhu, who was driving, suddenly said.
"Uh?" Sister Qiu was confused, "I want to..."
She took out a fruit from her pocket 8.
"Yes, there is a signal, and the power is half the power."
"Really." "Min is here too." Chen Qiang and Bai Shaobao also took out their respective cell phones.
"Do you have the number to save Alison Smith?" Tu Lizhu asked.
You are at the blind spot, and Chen Qiang sincerely admires you.
The terrifying feeling of depression not only puts great pressure on investigators, but also makes people form a fixed mindset of "communication cut-off". I forgot that this is a contemporary of science and technology, rather than a medieval era in which communications basically rely on roar.
"Some." Sister Qiu saw the name.
"I'll call." Bai Shaobao was ready to dial.
The car turned a corner and the main entrance of the Earl Glamorgan Hotel was not far away.
【Secret Man Secret Die】
【Listen Skill Check: Christina Tu 98/60 failed】
【Listen Skill Check: Alice Autumn 15/70 Success】
[Listening Skill Check: Chen Qiang 1/70 of the Big Success]
[Listening Skill Check: Bai Shaobao succeeded on 51/61]
"Have you heard any sound?" Sister Qiu listened intently.
"Shh. It seems... there is a little..." Bai Shaobao's brows twisted into a rope.
"Huh? What?" Tu Lizhu, who was concentrating on driving, heard nothing.
"Be careful!" Chen Qiang suddenly shouted. Without cheating, the first dice was a great success. According to the law of conservation of character, he suspected that his dice fortune of today would not be good today, "On it!"
Dong!
Something fell from a high place and hit the front windshield of the car, shattering the front cover into a recess.
“…?”
It was the body of a human...a middle-aged man in a gray windbreaker.
The man's chest was sunken and he had already stopped breathing.
His head hung weakly towards the direction of the windshield, and Tu Lizhu could clearly see the blood-stained face of the corpse, which was beyond recognition. It was originally supposed to be that there were only two holes left in her eyes.
【Sanity Check, SC1/1D41】
【Christina Tu 70/70 Success】
【Alice Autumn 98/40 Big Failure】
【Chen Qiang 28/80 Success】
【Bai Shaobao 46/60 Success】
[In the event of a big failure, automatically get full, deduction of 41=5SAN]
【Alice Autumn Intelligence Check 1/45th Success】
“…”
So Sister Qiu understood...
Whether it is the disfigured face or the disappearing eyes.
It was some kind of creature with sharp claws, grabbed and dug out from high altitude.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Tu Lizhu was completely unprepared. Her brain was blank. Her only idea was how to park the car, but she could not see the road ahead at all. However, Sister Qiu, who figured out what was going on, made her waving her limbs in the passenger seat like a convulsion, making Tu Lizhu unable to concentrate on operating the car without interference.
【Christina Tu Automobile Driving Check Failed 70/40】
The road near the Earl Glamorgan Hotel was already winding, and the car rushed straight to the sidewalk on the side of the road, rushed past a passerby, and hit a big tree at the entrance of the hotel.
【Christina Tu Lucky Check 34/90 Success】
Fortunately, the owner of the car is a person who attaches great importance to safety, with front airbags, head air curtains, knee airbags, side airbags... all airbags that can be installed normally are opened at the same time.
【Alice Qiu Lucky Check Failed 98/70】
[Bai Shaobao's lucky check failed 95/26]
Even so, except for Miss Tu, who is truly lucky, everyone else has a star-studded look...
【Alice Qiu, Bai Shaobao HP-1】
Tu Lizhu, who was completely fine, struggled to open the door from the airbags - thankfully, the door was intact - and then dragged it out of the car by a hotel security guard.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Chen Qiang also climbed out of the car with the help of others. He had already nimblely posing in an "anti-impact posture" to avoid injury.
As for Bai Shaobao... there was a small problem with his knee airbag...
He didn't want to show his timidity, endured the pain and relied on his own strength to get out of the car.
Now there is only one problem left... Sister Qiu, who is still stuck in the airbag and twitches...
She can be said to be quite unlucky.
Good things will always happen when a general dice check is successful, except for special intelligence checks made when the reason loss exceeds 5.
This check fails, which means that the investigator's mental self-protection mechanism plays a role, suppressing the panic caused by the sanity impact. But if the check is successful...
The investigator will realize what is going on and enter a brief state of loss of mind.
"Let's do it." Chen Qiang and Bai Shaobao squeezed away the helpless security guard next to Sister Qiu and began to try hard to rescue Sister Qiu from the seat.
Chen Qiang thought to himself...
Others who do not have the "Eye of Investigator" talent in investigator cannot see the results of the dice except themselves.
Could it be that in the Cthulhu game where the "Cthulhu's Secret Guardian" system is operating, the dice results are actually a reflection of the actual situation?
Or is Sister Qiu's condition just the result of her poor dice luck?
Or, cause and effect, are these just the concept of human reason. When games and reality intersect each other, are the essence of random dice and unshakable reality consistent with the system?
In the running group game, the crazy symptoms caused by the large loss of reason can be turned to the dice, or the secret keeper decides.
In the real world, the madness caused by rational losses is still like a shadow. Is it the judgment from the system, or...?
【Bai Shaobao's agility check was successful 29/90】
He finally successfully got Sister Qiu out of the car. Sister Qiu lay on the ground with no eyes, gasping heavily.
"Are you okay? Do you want to withdraw urgently?" Bai Shaobao whispered.
"I... is okay." Sister Qiu said with difficulty.
This is the first virtual reality game that humans can completely sneak into!
If the water friends knew that they were once an internal test player, but were scared to quit halfway, they would definitely lose a lot of fans!
Chapter completed!
