Chapter 328 - Prison
Chapter 328: Chapter 328 Prison
Zhou Yu was really shocked, although he was actually prepared for it. After all, this scene has been seen in many horror movies. It was just when a skeleton really grabbed him firmly, the little heart of his was suddenly at full throttle, thumping constantly.
However, strange things continued to happen. The skull of the skeleton slowly turned around, and it seemed to be laughing, “Hahaha, little brother, don’t be so anxious, we still have a lot of things to discuss.”
Anxious my ass!
The long lance held in his right hand suddenly stabbed forward, heading directly at the skull. Who knows what this skull monster wanted to say, he must make sure that he was safe first.
However, this was the ACG world. Before the NPC could finish its lines, players would not be able to do anything. Just like right now, when the tip of the lance was about to hit the skull, it suddenly stopped. It was as if there was an invisible wall before the skull, the lance couldn’t move an inch forward.
“Alas, you are really an inpatient wanderer. Oh right then, I will not waste time talking nonsense. Once the Chaotic Land appears again, a new generation of a wanderer must be created, this is the destiny. You are definitely from Luhua Village, so you should have heard the name Zhou Miao, right? That’s right, I am zhou Miao.”
Skeleton’s self-introduction was a bit confusing at first, but after thinking about it, Zhou Yu finally remembered who he was. He was his senior, who left a bunch of treasures in the real world, but almost none of them remained to this day.
“No way! How come you didn’t know my name if you are from Luhua Village? Even the king used to ask me for paintings and calligraphy. Although I don’t expect to be famous nowadays, I shouldn’t be unknown to the public, right?”
The skeleton’s tone was very gloomy, but it was really difficult to judge because he didn’t have an expression. Zhou Yu could only try to comfort him and say, “Senior Zhou Miao? All of your calligraphy and paintings were recovered by the people in the ACG world, leaving no trace of existence in the real world. After hundreds of years, naturally, no one would know that you existed.”
At that time, it was not as developed as it was now. It was very simple to remove the existence of a person. Even if this person was once very famous, but after a long time, it would naturally be buried in the long river of history.
The skeleton wept for a while, apparently feeling sad because he was not able to let his legacy remain in the real world for long. At the same time, he also let go of Zhou Yu’s hand.
Since he was a senior, Zhou Yu’s fears disappeared a little, and the rest was just doubts. Why was the senior in this Peach Blossom Painting Formation? Could it be that Zhou Miao was killed by Lin Wumo, and since then he could only spend endless time on this island?
Thinking that he may become another skeleton, the idea of wanting to escape from here became even more intense. He would rather stab himself to death than become like this. Ah, shit! He then just realized that apart from the pains caused by the stab, he would not be able to kill himself in the ACG world.
“It is useless to be sad now. I think you want to leave here, right?”
Of course, who wanted to stay on this broken ass island with nothing forever?
“Then listen carefully. It is not impossible to escape from here. I have already left this place, and all I have left is this image. This is Peach Blossom Painting Formation, you will experience a few strange places, if you can solve the puzzle like this house, you will be able to step out of this place soon. Take this pendant, it is the key to the next level. Now, crouch down and cover your head.”
Huh? Before Zhou Yu was even able to digest the information fully, the skull monster suddenly turned into dust, leaving a sparkling pendant. After holding it in his hand, a rumbling noise suddenly appeared from the ground. Was there anything else going to rise up again from the ground, or was this thatched house going back to the ground?
Zhou Yu hurried out of the thatched house and then found something wasn’t right. The shaking this time was much stronger than when the thatched house rose from the ground, and he could even feel the whole ground shaking. Thinking that this was a crater, and it looked like a volcano from outside, Zhou Yu was startled.
Oh no. Was it going to be a volcano eruption?
As soon as the thought flashed past his head, the ground cracked open, and then a strong updraft suddenly blasted out from the crack. Although Zhou Yu didn’t feel the heat, he was easily blown up. After various tumbling movements in the air, he was knocked out by a stone when he landed.
When he woke up, he found that the environment here had changed greatly. A rather sci-fi-style room, just like a deserted place that has been abandoned hundreds of years. It was covered with dust.
Recalling the senior skeleton’s words, Zhou Yu realized that he probably had to clear a few levels before he could go home, and if all the levels were as simple as that island, maybe he could return to his original body in a few days. Hopefully, his body would not be dissected or cremated, otherwise, he could only be a resident of The ACG World for a lifetime.
Of course, there was nothing bad about being a resident of The ACG World, at least, he would be accompanied by little Muli and other people. However, if possible, Zhou Yu still hoped that he could quietly enjoy his life in the real world until he became old and then became a resident of The ACG World.
Anyway, it was time to start exploring. He should get home as soon as possible.
There were several cabins in the room, he could see that there were corpses inside, was it a mortuary? Since he had seen a skeleton monster beforehand, he was not that afraid. Instead, he wanted to open and check it. Perhaps it was the message left by his senior?
Clicking the red button next to the cabin, the cabin was automatically opened, but these corpses were really just corpses, they were motionless. Apart from a steel plate engraved with numbers, there was nothing inside.
81192, was it something like a password?
After exploring the room, he prepared to go outside to check around. The door of the room was very weird. It was understandable that there was no peephole on the door, after all, it seemed like he was in a futuristic room. But why did it open a pencil box-sized hole? Now it looked like he was in a prison cell. Looking outside from the hole, there was indeed a neat row of numbers outside, and Zhou Yu could still see the number on the opposite door.
Was the theme this puzzle jailbreaking?
At this moment, two people, who were clearly bad people, came over. Why clearly? Because Zhou Yu saw that there were two red characters ‘bad guy’ hanging on the heads of the two people.
This gaming system was quite friendly.
Although it was the ACG World, it was really rare to clearly show the relationship between the enemy and the friendly. Zhou Yu quickly put down the cover, not wanting to let these two bad guys know that he was in the room. However, the sound of the cover hitting the door of the room caught their attention.
Bad guy A: “Brother, I heard a noise in Room 009, did anyone get in?”
Bad guy B: “Are you sure? Let’s go and check it.”
After a series of noises, someone opened the cover of the hole from the outside, and then glanced inside menacingly. At the moment, Zhou Yu hid below the hole while holding his breath. This was a blind spot and he could block the door, although he didn’t know if the door could be opened from the outside.
After a while, the two left, and Zhou Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
But what should he do next?
