How should I choose?
Faced with the question of the ghost bride, Fangzheng fell into deep thought. But unlike what the girls imagined, Fangzheng was not thinking about who to choose, but what would happen if he chose not to choose.
Fangzheng had felt that this mission was not normal from the beginning, and now he felt that there was something wrong with it.
Just as Fangzheng had thought before, the story background of this mission was that a woman named Rosarie died before she could get married, and you had to fulfill her wish.
But if you thought about it carefully, you would find several problems with this mission.
First of all, there was obviously only one Rosarie. Logically speaking, she should only be attached to one person. Even if the request was sent based on a value exceeding the trust threshold, it was entirely possible to set it so that after one person agreed, everyone else's options would be canceled, instead of all of them agreeing.
Secondly, everyone was moved by the story background of this mission, but they had overlooked an important problem.
That was — where was the groom?
Although players were definitely responsible for the groom part, in this mission, Rosarie must have had a groom when she was alive!
However, Fangzheng did not find any belongings of the groom to prove that he was the groom. So, how did Rosarie in this mission think that he was the groom? Or … .anyone could be the groom?
But Rosarie herself had never mentioned the groom's ending!
Where was the groom?
Fangzheng stared at the mission panel in front of him again and carefully read the contents. Then, a light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.
"Can I choose no one?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the girls were shocked. Rosarie, on the other hand, became even angrier when she heard Fangzheng's question.
"No …. You must choose …!! Love …!! "
"Then, I want all of them!"
"Ahhhhhh!!"
As soon as Fangzheng's voice faded, the ghost bride suddenly screamed. Then, Fangzheng saw chains appearing out of thin air and binding the girls' bodies tightly. At the same time, Rosarie's body rapidly grew and turned into a huge boss!!
As expected, I knew there was a problem here!
Looking at the seven bound girls, Fangzheng took out his sword and gun without hesitation. At the same time, Rosarie raised her skeletal right hand and slammed it down on Fangzheng.
"Bang!!"
Fangzheng raised his gun and fired a shot at Rosarie's right hand, interrupting her attack. Then, the greatsword in his hand suddenly exploded, and with a flash, it slashed at Rosarie's body.
However, to everyone's surprise, Fangzheng's attack only took 10 HP from Rosarie!
"Mr. Fangzheng!"
"Don't worry, I know what to do. Fangzheng glanced at Rosarie's HP bar, which barely moved, and immediately retreated. At the same time, Rosarie stretched out her right hand again and tried to grab Fangzheng. This time, Fangzheng did a quick roll and slipped through the gap under Rosarie's body. Then, he slashed with his sword backhandedly at the chains Rosarie used to bind the seven girls.
"Clang!"
With the sound of metal clashing, they saw that one of the chains had lost one-third of its HP. Seeing this, they immediately understood what was going on.
After all, those who could join the Clearers were already experts in the game. Now that they saw Fangzheng's actions, they immediately understood the mechanism of this boss. Indeed, according to a quest, a boss should not be stronger than a Lord. But Rosarie's HP and defence were obviously beyond the norm, which meant that they needed to use other methods to defeat her.
After being bound by the chains, the others could not move, let alone fight. Seeing that Fangzheng was able to deal damage to the chains, it naturally explained the mechanism of this boss. It was obvious that Rosarie's attributes were stacked by controlling other brides. The more brides there were, the stronger the boss' attributes would be. Only by cutting off the chains would the boss' attributes be reduced. Perhaps when all the chains were cut off, the boss' attributes would return to its original level.
But now …
With this thought in mind, the girls suddenly became nervous. They stared at Fangzheng, who was dealing with the ghost brides. Fangzheng was holding a musket in one hand and a greatsword in the other, cautiously dealing with Rosarie. At the same time, he took the opportunity to slash at the chains, then quickly retreated. The problem that the girls had thought of also occurred to Fangzheng.
In this kind of atypical Clearers, the boss' current attributes were likely to be ridiculously high. She might even die if she rubbed against him.
In this kind of situation, being cautious was the most important thing.
Clang!!
Soon, one of the chains was cut off. Then, everyone saw Rosarie let out a scream. Her huge body, which occupied half of the church, shrank like a deflated balloon.
Sure enough!
"Go cut the chains."
Fangzheng said to Asuna, who had broken free from the chains. He then dodged Rosarie's attack again. At the same time, Asuna also took out her weapon and dashed towards another person.
As long as the clearers knew how to fight a quest boss, they would not be a match for a Clearers. After freeing Asuna, Fangzheng focused on attracting Rosarie's attention. Asuna quickly cut off the chains of the others and began freeing them. As the chains were cut off one by one, Rosarie's attributes began to weaken. When all seven chains were cut off, she was no different from an ordinary quest boss.
Everyone swarmed forward and quickly sent this unlucky Boss to the afterlife.
"Ah —!!"
Accompanied by agonizing cries, the spirit bride floated up into midair and then exploded with an agonizing cry, turning into specks of light dust that disappeared into the air.
"Phew …"
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. When they looked down, they saw that the wedding dresses they were wearing had already disappeared when the chains were cut off.
"What a pity …"
Youji pouted, obviously feeling a little pity. Ying Lili came to Fangzheng's side and asked out of curiosity.
"Mr. Fangzheng, what did you mean by your previous choice? Do you want all of them? What do you think? "
Hearing Ying Lili's question, the other girls also looked at Fangzheng. Obviously, they were also curious about Fangzheng's previous choice.
However, facing everyone's gaze, Fangzheng just smiled.
"You didn't notice, but there's actually a trap buried in this quest."
"A trap?"
"That's right."
Fangzheng nodded and continued.
"Look, this quest asks us to fulfill Rosarie's three wishes. What are wishes? They're wishes that weren't fulfilled. So, marriage is naturally Rosarie's unfulfilled wish. When we first saw this quest, we all thought that Rosarie couldn't marry her boyfriend for some reason and felt regretful. We're here to make up for her regrets. "
Hearing this, all the girls nodded. In fact, that was what they all thought at first.
"But in fact, there's another situation."
Saying this, Fangzheng grinned.
"That means her boyfriend got married, but the bride isn't her."
"… Huh???"
Hearing this, the girls were stunned. After a while, Shi Nong asked in disbelief.
"This … this works too?"
"Why not? Come to think of it, she's not married, but we don't know why she's not married, but we can see this tendency from the mission. You see, this mission can be completed multiple times, and after entering the church, Rosarie didn't possess one of you like before. Instead, she chose to reveal herself, and at the same time, she asked me to choose a bride … It's hard to imagine that she's planning to kidnap the bride at the wedding … "
Saying this, Fangzheng spread his hands.
"What if that's her real wish? That's why I specifically asked her if she could choose someone else. Logically speaking, if Rosarie really wanted to marry me, as long as I didn't choose any of you, I should be able to complete the quest. But Rosarie forced me to choose a bride … That's interesting, so in order to verify my conjecture, I chose all of you. "
"…"
Hearing Fangzheng's explanation, the girls were dumbfounded.
"Then, Mr. Fangzheng, why didn't you choose one of us instead of all of us?"
"Because I'm not sure about the quest process."
Hearing Lifa's question, Fangzheng shook his head.
"You see, if my conjecture is correct, then Rosarie is an abandoned woman. But if I do as she says and choose one of you, then the rest of you will also become abandoned women. At that time, what if the mission requires us to be in a hostile state and we need to fight? I don't dare to take that risk … "
"Hiss …"
Hearing this, the girls sucked in a breath of cold air. Indeed, according to Fangzheng's explanation, the others who were not chosen were likely to be manipulated by Rosarie to attack Fangzheng. When that happened, it would turn into a fight between them!
Of course, if this was just an ordinary online game, this quest could only be attributed to the designer's bad intentions. But in a death game, this was a matter of life and death!
"Now that the quest is complete, Mr. Fangzheng …"
At that moment, Ying Lili came over with a smile again.
"This time … you can tell me which one of us you want to choose, right?"
"Didn't I already tell you the answer?"
Hearing Ying Lili's question, Fangzheng glanced at her.
"Only children make choices. I want all of them."
