This line of bloody words was hidden in the air, and Wang Ling could even smell the real scent of blood from it. If this was just a line of special effects in a game, it was too realistic!
Wang Ling frowned and had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
On the contrary, Lie Mengmeng looked very excited. This was because the realism of the game had already far exceeded his expectations. It actually wasn't difficult nowadays to use high-tech holographic technology like a USB drive and a computer screen to directly project a scene. But for it to be this realistic, Lie Mengmeng guessed that a high-level illusion spell had to have been incorporated into it.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people wouldn't be able to play this kind of game that combined cultivation spells to enhance the realism of the game. But Escape was different. In the latest game trailer last month, this was currently the only unrestricted massively multiplayer online survival game in the world.
Below the bloody words, there were only two options: "YES" and "NO."
Lie Mengmeng pointed in the direction of "YES," and very quickly, the initial loading screen of the game began.
A string of words appeared in the air one after another.
"Do you think studying is the only way to make you happy?
"Do you think studying every day is the only way to feel good all over?
"Do you think you'll feel uncomfortable if you don't study for a day?
"Wrong all over! … Actually, playing games is fine too!
"Moderate gaming is good for the brain, but gaming addiction is bad for the body …
"…"
Wang Ling stared at this slightly jumpy introduction to preventing addiction, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. Then, he saw the final loading screen, which had a logo of two axes stacked on top of each other. Below the logo were the words: Xianfu Technology.
It was only at this point that Lie Mengmeng found it a little strange. As far as he could remember, Outlast didn't seem to be the same company … but very quickly, Lie Mengmeng was so engrossed by the game that he actually completely forgot about this.
According to the plot, Wang Ling and Lie Mengmeng appeared in an ambulance on the way to a mental hospital.
"You are the second batch of test takers to be sent into this world, and also the most outstanding batch." A voice rang out from beside him.
Wang Ling turned his head and saw an old man in a white coat staring at him. He looked to be in his fifties or sixties and had a skinny body. He wore a pair of reading glasses and his waist was full of syringes, which made him look very strange.
Lie Mengmeng didn't even need to think to know that this must be some kind of Frankenstein character setting. This was the first time he had come into contact with an NPC in a holographic environment, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
Everything was too real, too cool!
"Before I say mission."
The corner of the old man's mouth twitched. He couldn't help but look at Lie Mengmeng. "Please be a little more serious … Can you first remove the hand that's pinching my face?"
"Ah, sorry!" Lie Mengmeng quickly retracted his hand.
"…"
The old man was silent for a moment and looked at the two of them. "You two should have realized it by now. You two have fallen into an extremely powerful illusion. Next, I will send you all to the mental hospital. Before you complete the Lord God's mission, this illusion effect will continue … What you need to do is to cooperate with the other teams that come to the hospital according to the requirements of the mission and escape from the hospital. "
"A continuous illusion spell?" Lie Mengmeng was a little surprised. Although Escape was indeed the only unrestricted survival game in the world that incorporated magic to make it more realistic, he hadn't expected the game to actually have a mechanism where you couldn't quit until you completed the mission.
"In other words, if we don't complete the mission, we can't quit the game, right?" Lie Mengmeng asked the old man.
"That's right."
The old man smiled evilly. His eyes were very mysterious.
"Then … what if your mom calls you for dinner?" Lie Mengmeng couldn't help complaining.
Wang Ling: "…"
The old man: "…"
"What if someone hasn't finished their homework?"
The old man: "…"
"If someone is stuck and can't get out, can you still force them to stay? This mechanism is too unscientific! "
"…"
The old man broke out in a sweat, and at the same time, his expression suddenly turned extremely ferocious. "A game is a game! No one can leave before you finish the game! And let me tell you, in this illusion spell … you will feel pain, you will get hurt, you will even die … "
"Die?"
Hearing this, Lie Mengmeng was finally stunned.
The old man chuckled. "How is it, scared?"
Lie Mengmeng's next words almost made the old man spit blood. "What the hell?! Your game has a resurrection token mechanism? "
The old man felt like he was going crazy. "…"
Suddenly, he pulled out a syringe and stabbed it hard into the back of Lie Mengmeng's hand. The cold tip of the needle pierced his body, and Lie Mengmeng felt a real, piercing pain, and he couldn't help screaming, "Ow ow ow ow ow …"
He realized that his hand was actually bleeding!
Seeing Lie Mengmeng bleeding and clearly feeling the pain, Wang Ling finally realized that there was something fishy about this game.
This illusion spell was very abnormal!
Normal illusions would automatically be broken when the target felt pain, but this illusion was obviously more advanced. It was an illusion that could enter deep into one's consciousness.
He was now one hundred percent sure that this Escape definitely wasn't the Escape that Lie Mengmeng had seen … but a death game in the guise of a game.
Borrowing the USB flash drive from earlier, everyone who had accepted this game had entered the illusion world.
Was this a prank?
Wang Ling's gaze abruptly turned serious.
In that brief moment just now, he had already thought of a way to break this illusion spell and leave easily. But the other people trapped in the game couldn't intervene. He had to think of a way to help Lie Mengmeng break the illusion …
But unfortunately, Lie Mengmeng was still completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem. This damn homebody touched the spot where the old man had just stabbed him and asked, "What did you inject me with?"
"Heh heh heh, does it hurt?" The old man sneered. "I injected you with a neurovirus just now! It will flare up when you're twenty-four. If you can survive to the last stage, you'll get a hint about the antidote. "
Wang Ling narrowed his eyes. Sure enough, everything was as he had thought … this poison was real!
He could clearly see the traces of the neurotoxin entering Lie Mengmeng's body through the blood vessels on the back of his hand.
"Heh heh heh, now …" The old man finally turned to Wang Ling, and at the same time fiercely stabbed the syringe into Wang Ling's hand. "It's your turn!"
But very quickly, the old man realized a very serious problem!
He realized that his needle couldn't go in at all!
