Chapter 195 Day 4
Chapter 195 Day 4
The tense atmosphere dissipated a little, and after chatting for a while, the group went to bed early to sleep, quietly waiting for the fourth day to arrive.
While they were fast asleep, they had no idea what was happening in Paradise Lost.
As the bell rang, at exactly four in the morning, the players gradually returned to their respective residences to rest.
No one spoke; they remained silent the entire way.
The journey to Paradise Lost was quickly halfway over, and apart from the Monster Guild, even the experienced Black Raven Guild inevitably lost several members.
When a close companion dies, everyone becomes numb and indifferent, like the walking dead.
Currently, the corruption of the instance is not too severe.
When witnessing the death of a companion for the first time, some people might even weep for him.
But as time goes on, once you see too many friends and family members leave, your heart dies, and you can only force yourself to accept it all, becoming cold and indifferent.
Upon waking up, the lost paradise finally began to reveal its crumbling corner.
The sky seemed to be covered by a thick gray veil, and the original azure color disappeared without a trace.
The blazing sun seemed to have hidden behind the clouds, no longer radiating its dazzling light.
The entire sky was filled with a somber atmosphere, its gray hue resembling an unfinished ink painting, creating a sense of oppression.
The entire Lost Paradise was shrouded in an indescribable white mist, and the outlines of the amusement facilities could only be barely seen.
The world seemed to fall into silence, with only the occasional chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
However, if players enter the Lost Paradise, they can hear children's laughter coming from the fog from time to time, accompanied by faint screams.
Now, no player has the courage to venture alone into the daytime Lost Paradise to explore.
The unknown is what's most frightening.
It would be terrible if they stepped into the fog and couldn't get back.
Some players became even more drowsy than before and even started experiencing hallucinations.
Normal players can see a vast expanse of white fog, but to those affected by pollen, it still appears as a clear blue sky.
As time passed, numerous arms that did not belong to humans gradually emerged from the fog.
The mutilated arms were covered with dense scratches, the pale arms stretched straight forward, waiting to catch their prey.
The beautiful facade has finally been shattered, and now we have officially entered the true paradise lost.
Unexpected events are occurring frequently, and some players have already started foolishly walking into the fog.
His companion held him tightly around the waist, pressing his entire body against him, preventing him from stepping out the door.
At this point, the quick-thinking players finally realized something was wrong.
The person is in a state of dizziness and not conscious; this is the condition that occurs when exposed to a toxic environment for a long time.
At first, they thought the flowers were just simple decorations and wouldn't have any impact.
The player, who had long been driven to the brink of collapse by the quest, could no longer control his emotions. His eyes turned red, and he loudly questioned Miss Rabbit.
"You're the one who put these flowers here, aren't you? Are you trying to kill us?"
Miss Rabbit naturally wouldn't answer the player's question; she remained silent, but Bai Xiaoyu spoke up instead.
His voice was soft, and his smile was firm and resolute.
"This place is isolated from all external intrusions, it's like our safe house. I advise you to keep your noses plugged, or you won't even know how you died."
"Only cowards and incompetent people blame external factors. Don't blame Miss Rabbit. Instead, think about how to pass the level."
Bai Xiaoyu is right. Most of the NPCs in the dungeon are just derivatives of the dungeon, and they can cause more trouble than help to the players.
All NPCs can do is help issue task instructions and rules. Players cannot have conflicts with NPCs, otherwise the player will be the one who suffers.
Some NPCs can be very vengeful.
The player was so flustered by his words that he stopped questioning Miss Rabbit, because he knew that even if he did, what difference would it make?
Therefore, he began to indiscriminately attack Bai Xiaoyu, who was criticizing him.
"Who the hell are you? I'm already bursting with anger and have nowhere to vent it. Are you looking for a beating?"
As he spoke, he rushed straight at Bai Xiaoyu's face and instantly grabbed Bai Xiaoyu's vulnerable neck.
Bai Xiaoyu's smile froze briefly, but quickly returned to normal, prying his palm open with her hand.
"Am I wrong? Why are you pinching me? I'm the vice president of the Black Crow Guild!"
Jiang Qi, draped in a black robe, mingled with the white mist, determined not to miss the chance to make Bai Xiaoyu laugh, even if he was faking his death.
Miss Rabbit sat at the front desk, leisurely watching them, her smile widening.
In a flash, she was in front of the two arguing people, easily grabbing the man's neck with her claws, turning her head to smile at Bai Xiaoyu, her voice sweet to the point of being cloying.
"Thank you for drawing the fire for me, you're such a kind person."
Unlike her friendly demeanor towards Bai Xiaoyu, Miss Rabbit sighed softly at the man, her voice low and somber.
"In Paradise Lost, disobeying the administrator is forbidden, or you will die."
At that moment, Miss Rabbit's furry paws were a deadly weapon to that player.
Before the player could beg for mercy, with a snap, his neck was broken, and his body fell to the ground, lifeless.
Bai Xiaoyu's chest heaved violently as he collapsed onto the cold floor.
Miss Rabbit tilted her head slightly, blinked her innocent big eyes, and spoke in a sweet voice.
"The flowers in the vase are refreshing and good for you. How can you throw mud at me for no reason?"
This tactic of making an example of someone to deter others meant that no player dared to cause trouble for Miss Rabbit again.
The atmosphere was deathly silent. After a long while, some soft murmurs of discussion broke out.
Only after things spiraled out of control did they realize that the Monster guild, which had initially seemed out of place, had made the absolutely right choice.
Before this, they knew nothing about any of this.
No one would care whether there was anything wrong with the flowers in the vase, so Miss Rabbit's behavior of arranging vases became more and more open and aboveboard.
"Bang, bang, bang," each sound louder than the last.
One player exclaimed, his finger trembling as he pointed to the glass door of the lobby.
"Someone stop her! If she keeps running, people will die!"
The crisp sound of shattering glass struck the hearts of every player whose face was filled with fear.
What they saw was a woman with long, flowing hair and a pale face, pressing her younger self's head against the glass.
She muttered to herself like a madwoman, "Hahahaha, I'll kill you. I'm like this because of you..."
It's not that no one tried to stop her, but unfortunately they couldn't stop a crazy woman at all.
She scratched and bit anyone who tried to stop her, and even scratched the face of another girl who tried to pull her back.
"You must kill her, or you will suffer the consequences of your own actions."
"I'm all this thanks to her, hahaha, I can live if I kill her!"
"None of you can stop me!"
She could only helplessly shrug, give a bitter smile, and sigh as she watched the scene unfold.
Fu Qing, a woman from the Dawn Guild, couldn't bear to watch any longer. She had barely taken a step when Qi An pressed her shoulder down and whispered something.
"Qingqing, let's not get involved in this mess. If we don't go, someone else will."
"But……"
Yu Zhi sighed and patted Fu Qing's head.
"Be good, Qingqing."
"Alright, since Chairman Yu has spoken, then I won't go."
The Monster guild, who had originally planned to spend the whole day in their rooms, arrived at the lobby only to find this scene.
Yu Hansheng glanced over there without making a sound, and was about to make a move when Lin Wanchu rushed over first, grabbed the girl, and slashed her on the back of the neck.
The girl had a fierce look in her eyes. Just as she was about to turn her head, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Lin Wanchu squatted down, brushed aside the long hair that was covering the girl's face, and discovered that she was the girl who had witnessed her boyfriend's death on the first day.
Lin Wanchu looked at the child whose head had been smashed to pieces by the crazy girl and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. He was truly pitiful and pathetic.
