At that moment, Ai Qing instinctively pulled out her gun and pulled the trigger.
KP snapped his fingers.
So what came out of the muzzle was no longer bullets, but rather festive ribbons and flowers.
"Calm down, ma 'am, I believe most problems can be solved through conversation." KP shrugged, "Presumably, you also have a lot of questions to ask, right?"
Ai Qing frowned and looked at him coldly, "Are you going to answer?"
KP shrugged helplessly, "Believe me, even if you know more, it will only increase the difficulty for you. And to a certain extent, I saved you guys. "
"I will judge the situation myself, Mr. KP," Ai Qing said coldly, "What is going on? What is wrong with my memory? "
"Don't worry, it is only temporary amnesia caused by the time jump."
KP shrugged. "To put it simply, due to the Philosopher's Stone being mistakenly triggered, a mutation occurred. In order to avoid the formation of a quarantine zone in the present world, I could only forcibly turn this place into a part of the Dark Net.
Regrettably, in the process, all of them were swept into the records of the Philosopher's Stone — the historical fragments of 1620.
In order to remedy this, I had to start this game — like I said, when necessary, I will provide assistance to you. "
"Then let's end this game!" Ai Qing said coldly, "Pull them back!"
"Sorry, although the Dark Net is a virtual world, it still has its own rules."
KP shook his head and refused, his smile was even more unpleasant, "Even if it is me, I can't do as I please. The game has already started, Ai Qing, if you can't clear the game, as the host, I am afraid I can't provide much help. "
Ai Qing sneered, "So, you deliberately created all this just to play a game with us?"
"Exactly."
KP nodded solemnly and asked matter-of-factly, "Isn't the game gentler than reality? I just provided you with a way to solve the problem.
You see, I've successfully turned the records in the Philosopher's Stone into a game. In other words, once you clear this game, you can successfully store the Philosopher's Stone.
Or are you saying that you would rather abandon such a logical and simple solution and choose to face a chaotic situation that you know nothing about? "
Ai Qing shook her head indifferently. "No, you're just like the Lord God described by those boring writers. You like the feeling of toying with people in the palm of your hand."
"Although their natures are about the same."
KP didn't deny it. He just shrugged. "But the situation is stronger than the person, right?"
Ai Qing lowered her head and turned the pistol with flowers in her hand. After a long time, she suddenly said, "But I can at least refuse."
"If you die, what will happen to your officers?" KP asked curiously. "From what I can see, you don't seem like an irresponsible person."
"So, I must play the game?"
"Unfortunately, yes."
KP chuckled. "Now that things have come to this, why not enjoy the fun of the game? If you ask me, there's no need to be so serious and hardcore. Relax a little and treat it as an exploration-type computer game. "
After a short silence, Ai Qing suddenly said, "I want to talk to Huai Shi."
"…"
KP was stunned for a moment. He scratched his head in astonishment. "Are you sure? Using a character card that's out of your control isn't a good choice for the game. If you ask me, it's not too late for you to change to the NPC card. "
Ai Qing was expressionless. "I insist."
KP was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he showed an expectant smile. "Very well, I'll make an exception for your request!
But at the same time, I want to add a rule. When Huai Shi is appraising his rationality, you'll be appraising it at the same time. And when Huai Shi's HP is deducted … "
There was no need to say anything else.
Ai Qing nodded silently.
"Wonderful!"
KP waved his hand and laughed excitedly. "Then do your best, Miss Ai. I'm looking forward to what kind of story can be created with an excellent player like you and an excellent character like Mr. Huai!"
At that moment, darkness suddenly descended.
Huai Shi saw the girl sitting opposite him.
.
Ten minutes later.
Huai Shi finally understood the specific situation. At the same time, he was even more confused. "In other words, when we encountered an abnormal change, in order to avoid the situation from becoming serious, KP directly created an instance on the spot and pulled us in, right?"
Ai Qing nodded.
Huai Shi felt more and more puzzled.
Strange, too strange.
After reading the Book of Destinies for so many years, Huai Shi had some experience as a reader. But according to the usual plot rules, shouldn't this kind of truth be hinted at by a lot of foreshadowing first, and then thrown out as a breaking point after I've explored the dungeon?
Why was it given so readily at the beginning?
Moreover, what made Huai Shi even more uneasy was …
"Are you sure he mentioned the record?"
Ai Qing nodded. She didn't understand why he was so obsessed with this kind of wording.
Huai Shi's heart was half heavy and half relaxed.
He was relaxed because the Book of Destiny was not recorded on the character card. In other words, Ai Qing still didn't know that he had such a dangerous thing on him.
And he was heavy because he felt that KP seemed to have some kind of connection with the Book of Destiny.
But at present, although KP had created a lot of trouble, he didn't directly harm him … Instead, he was quite active in pushing these players to clear this ridiculous game.
He couldn't understand these brain-burning things no matter how much he thought about it. He left it to Ai Qing. At present, Huai Shi began to focus on the most important thing.
"Now, the most important thing for us is to complete the character's goal and then clear this instance, right?"
Huai Shi rubbed his hands and nodded. "Okay, I'll go find Old Xiao and the others later and see if we can work together …"
"Can you not be so fast?"
Ai Qing calmly reminded him, "Mr. Van Helsing."
Huai Shi was stunned.
He finally reacted. Now Huai Shi had become his avatar, and Demon Hunter Van Helsing had become his real identity … an unspeakable secret.
In this instance, everyone had a secret.
In other words, everyone might have different goals under the premise of reaching the New World. His goal was to kill Paracelsus who was hiding on the ship. What about the others?
Maybe they wanted to protect him?
Or to be more straightforward, they wanted to find Van Helsing on the ship and kill him. It was even possible that some people directly became Paracelsus!
This was the most disgusting thing about secrets.
You couldn't be sure if the other party was harmful to you, but you couldn't completely trust them.
"In other words, not only can we not be united, but we also have to be on guard against each other within the team." Huai Shi scratched his head a little irritably. "Because of the existence of the traitor, I'm afraid we can only be friends on the surface and fight alone in the dark, right?"
"Not only that."
Ai Qing knocked on the wheelchair's armrest and told him the last piece of bad news.
Except for Huai Shi, the other characters were directly controlled by the other supervisors.
In other words, the others were one with the game card, but their team was separated from the game account. One person became two. It sounded good, but in fact, it was not necessarily an advantage.
On the contrary, it could be a disadvantage.
This was true for both Huai Shi and Ai Qing.
Especially when the two of them had different opinions. Of course, Huai Shi could do whatever he wanted, but most of the time, the necessary points had to be cast by Ai Qing herself.
In the silence, Ai Qing rubbed her throbbing forehead and sighed softly. "Is trust the only thing we can rely on? It feels like this kind of thing doesn't exist at all. "
"Don't be so pessimistic, bro." Huai Shi was stunned. "Aren't we working together seamlessly?"
Ai Qing asked back, "Do you mean you're going to do the dirty work and I'm going to help you clean up?"
"Uh …" Huai Shi was speechless. "Well, although it's not right to do this, at least give me a little trust in this kind of life-or-death matter, okay?"
"I'll try."
After pondering for a moment, Ai Qing opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she still didn't say anything. Instead, she took the initiative to change the topic. "I'll give you instructions in the next exploration, but during the operation … be careful of what's hidden on this ship."
She suspected that there were definitely some secrets hidden on this ship.
Who knew how many traps were hidden in the so-called import process alone.
First, there was the mysterious letter, then the sudden secret after boarding the ship, and finally the final condition of the game — to reach the New World.
Whose letter was it?
What was the point of this inexplicable secret other than causing internal strife?
Also, in 1620, sitting on a cruise ship that was at least four hundred years ahead of its time, was there still a need to worry about getting lost at sea?
Or rather, was there a possibility of not being able to reach the destination?
If one could safely clear the game just by lying in the room, wouldn't that be too ridiculous?
Ai Qing put herself in KP's shoes and guessed KP's thoughts. She could come to a conclusion that she was completely sure of — there was definitely a ghost on this ship.
Even if they didn't hit an iceberg, they would definitely encounter something irresistible. As for the classic plot that would play out in the enclosed environment of Blizzard Villa, it was simply needless to say.
Before reaching the New World, there would definitely be a lot of trouble.
The more likely possibility was that if the investigators didn't unite, it was likely that they would all die before they reached the New World …
No matter what the situation was, it was unpleasant.
Ai Qing bit her finger.
With the end of the conversation, the darkness dissipated, and Ai Qing once again returned to her original position. It was as if time had stopped in place and waited for her. After she reappeared, it continued to move forward slowly.
The others were still unaware of what had happened.
KP's smiling face reappeared in front of them. "The time in the secret room is over. How do you feel?"
"…"
Ai Qing didn't answer. Instead, she asked, "I remember you said that this is a very popular game on the Dark Net, right?"
"That's right." KP smiled. "Everyone loves to play it, young and old alike."
So, Ai Qing raised her head and stared at his expression. "Then, as a player, it's not against the rules if I want to read the rule book, right?"
KP raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't say anything and just waved his hand and snapped his fingers.
Bang!
A thick stack of books suddenly appeared in front of Ai Qing. They were piled up on the table to a height of 40 centimeters. The handwriting on the cover was even more varied. In addition to the common English, Latin, and Dongxia language, there were also small categories such as Yingzhou language.
"As you wish, Ms. Ai."
He smiled. "All the rules of the sixth edition, plus the house rules, as well as the expanded rules of martial arts adopted this time … I hope you can finish reading before the game ends.
But now, the tender time is over. "
KP snapped his fingers.
The game officially began.
