MTL - Top Horror Novelist-Chapter 6
When the little boy approached Chi Yiyin, this scene was truthfully shown in the live broadcast room, causing the audience to exclaim.
[Strange, when did this child appear? ]
[and many more! I've watched other [Dear Home] live broadcasts before, why haven't I seen this kid? ]
[The newcomer is in trouble... I said I didn't see it, it should be that the anchor level you watched before was too good, and died before making it through the first night. This child has no attack power, but the problem is that he will incur the hatred value of other NPCs towards the 'sister', which can be called bad luck. ]
[Grass, the anchor is too unlucky, why didn't anyone else meet him, but he caught up. ]
[It's not that he ran around by himself, dared to show off like that without the strength, and was hated by important npcs, hehe, he deserved it if he died. ]
The live broadcast of the carnival game field is not public, and those who will watch the live broadcast are all players in the game field.
Some players want to watch the host broadcast ugly or die, and have some fun for themselves, which is a rare entertainment.
But for more players, the most important function of the live broadcast is to let them see the situation of other dungeons.
It is equivalent to checking other people's test papers before the exam, knowing what questions will be asked, and knowing how other people will answer.
This will keep them alive at critical moments.
Because, the Carnival Playground is truly "disorder within order".
There are many rules in the game field, but they will not tell the players easily. The system can only wait for the player to trigger the keyword, and then the system will be stingy and inform the corresponding rules.
That is, "no questions, no answers."
This puts the player at constant risk of violating the rules and causing death.
Even if someone really collected all the rules in the game field, it would be useless.
—Because in the game field, there are random events.
There is no possibility of prediction, completely random.
Time, place, dungeons, monsters... together with a dungeon, each opening will trigger a different branch.
This makes players have to be vigilant, and under unpredictable circumstances, they can only grasp the situation as much as possible.
Those with more points can buy expensive recording materials at will, but more ordinary players who are struggling can only watch the live broadcast.
For dungeons like [Dear Home] that no one is willing to choose, the probability of being randomized will increase accordingly.
Because of this, although this dungeon is only E grade, it has always been very popular in the live broadcast hall.
After all, everyone is afraid that they will be randomly assigned to this dungeon.
However, even if you don't have to worry about being randomized into this dungeon in the future, there are still many players who are attracted.
They are all curious, is it the last time, will anyone pass the level? Or is [Dear Home] still undefeated?
More importantly, who will get the legendary rewards for clearing the level that have already rolled out so richly...
Players who watched Chi Yiyin's live broadcast were not optimistic about him. When the little boy appeared, some people even lamented: [I know your food, but you don't need to cook to this extent, right? Messed with NPC so quickly. ]
[Are you going to die? Haha I quite like this plot. ]
Begging for mercy, breaking down and crying, pleasing other players for a way to survive... I'm tired of watching these death plots, I don't know if this anchor will have other wonderful ways to die.
Some people were imagining maliciously, wishing that the young man in the live broadcast would immediately suffer bad luck and be killed by an NPC.
But during the live broadcast, Chi Yiyin remained calm and calm, showing no sign of being frightened.
When he heard the reminder that the number of followers was declining, he realized that maybe the audience knew what the little boy would bring and thought he would definitely die, so some people unfollowed and left.
As a result, Chi Yiyin looked at the little boy with contemplation.
In the eyes of adults, children of this age are generally classified as harmless.
Outside the house, Chi Yiyin saw the malice towards him from the other two. But the little boy blinked his eyes and didn't speak or move. Although he didn't like his "sister", he wasn't too malicious.
Others may think that the little boy is a well-intentioned NPC under such circumstances, and may be able to obtain some information or help from him.
But the declining number of followers gave Chi Yiyin a glimpse of the truth, and he did not relax his vigilance towards the little boy.
"Sister~"
The little boy was still pulling Chi Yiyin's trouser legs, looking forward to him.
Chi Yiyin pulled away from her thoughts, put on a gentle and kind smile, squatted down elegantly, looked straight into the little boy's eyes, and said with a smile: "But my sister has forgotten you, what should I do? I don't even remember your name."
As soon as these words came out, not only the little boy was stunned, but also shrunk his mouth aggrieved. Even the audience in the live broadcast room shook their heads and sighed, thinking that it was indeed a newcomer, which defeated the NPC's favor, and they knew it would increase hatred without watching.
The number of followers in the live broadcast room began to decline again.
Chi Yiyin didn't take it seriously, and said in a deliberately gentle voice: "I don't like my sister's bad boy, and my sister doesn't like you either. Unless you say you like my sister, I will play with you."
He doesn't like to have too much contact with people, he just thinks that the world is dull and boring, and he can't see the truth in front of him, so stupid that it makes people laugh.
But that doesn't mean he's not good at interacting with people.
As long as Chi Yiyin wanted to, he could gain anyone's favor and be trusted by others.
The little boy's originally slipping mood immediately picked up. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Chi Yiyin covered his mouth with a smile.
"The bad boy who doesn't say hello when my sister comes home, let's start by saying hello. Come on, what's my sister's name?"
The little boy blinked his eyes: "Annoyer, **** it, something that can't be married."
Studio:[…? ]
[The fist is hardened, if my brother calls me that, I can beat him to death. ]
[Did I remember wrongly, isn't the anchor the eldest daughter of this family, or was she picked up? ]
Chi Yiyin raised his eyebrows, but he knew it in his heart.
This should be something that other people used to refer to as "sister" in front of the little boy, so he learned it. Especially outside the mansion before, seeing that the little boy has a good relationship with the other two, it is likely that the two younger brothers and sisters called "sister" that way.
It seems that "sister" really has no status in this family...
Although it is generally said that children will not lie and are innocent.
But from Chi Yiyin's point of view, the child is instinctively observing words and expressions, and imitating the example. In them, they can best reflect the situation of adults and families.
From the little boy's words, Chi Yiyin has glimpsed part of the truth about this home.
—"Sister" was called back from school to marry someone.
At the age of younger brothers and sisters, they themselves would not know what "something that cannot be married" is, unless an adult shouted in front of them.
Before, when the butler was blaming the young lady, he also mentioned that her sister had reached the age where she could talk about marriage.
The elder sister who has no status suddenly got married by her family and was called back from school... It's urgent.
As soon as this idea appeared in Chi Yiyin's mind, the broadcast from the system rang.
[Congratulations to the anchor for starting the main mission of the dungeon: The truth about home
Current exploration degree: 50%]
[Congratulations to the host for advancing 50% of the progress in one fell swoop, earning points: 50 points. 】
[Current total points: 55 points. The anchor please continue to work hard, and you can redeem permissions when you reach 500 points, check the barrage in the live broadcast room]
Chi Yiyin was slightly stunned.
He didn't have time to complain about the stinginess of the system. One reward was 55 points, but the barrage permission in the live broadcast room required 500 points, which was simply sky-high. His attention is all on the 50% exploration speed.
He knew very well that what he was thinking just now were only two things.
One is the embarrassing position of the elder sister in the family, and the other is the elder sister's marriage.
These two things, but promoted 50% of the progress?
Too fast, that's not right.
Chi Yiyin was not overjoyed by the rapid progress, but felt heavy instead.
This is the first time he has felt such a heavy pressure since he entered the game field.
But the audience in the live broadcast room was in an uproar, blinded by the bright prompt [Currently the main mission has started, progress: 50%] that appeared above the live broadcast room.
[…Grass! This anchor is poisonous! I said you are a rookie, and you made it look like an old player, and I said you were going to die, and you made half of my progress? Are you a little bit rebellious! ]
[Pfft, reverse poisonous milk belongs to yes. ]
[Face hurts, dare not speak. ]
[Just unchecked, and obediently followed back. This anchor is definitely not a newcomer! Must be a very nb old player! ]
[Shock! How did he do that! I feel like I can't keep up without seeing it at a glance, so he belongs to bamboo! ]
Others in the live broadcast hall heard that there was an instant progress to 50%, and they all ran over to watch.
For a while, the number of viewers and attention in Chi Yiyin's live broadcast room soared, and he quickly rose to the fifth place among the nine players in the current instance.
But Chi Yiyin didn't care about the data prompts in the live broadcast room. Instead of revealing his true thoughts, he made an angry look and said to the little boy: "Who taught you to say that! Then my sister also wants to I'm calling you a brat!"
Chi Yiyin's expression frightened the little boy. He pursed his mouth, took two steps back and began to sob: "I'm not a kid, I have a name! My name is Ma Xiao, not a brat!"
The little boy was crying and was about to hit Chi Yiyin with the wooden toy in his hand, but Chi Yiyin grabbed it quickly.
He did it to get information from the little boy, not to get hurt, it still hurts to hit it.
He hates pain.
"Now you know how uncomfortable my sister is."
Chi Yiyin intentionally made herself look helpless and sad: "Xiaoxiao, my sister didn't do it on purpose, look, isn't my sister calling your name now?"
"So, tell my sister now, what are the names of my brothers and sisters."
The little boy wanted to cry, but Chi Yiyin stretched out his hand and pinched his mouth, unable to utter a single syllable.
His face was bulging, with tears still hanging on his face, like a little puffer fish.
Even the viewers in the live broadcast room, who knew the child was dangerous, couldn't help but soften their hearts.
Chi Yiyin still smiled, unmoved.
cry? Then continue to cry for me.
However, Chi Yiyin's strength is not small. The little boy struggled for a long time without breaking free, and finally lay in his arms panting from exhaustion. He also forgot why he was crying before, and his attention was successfully shifted to the hand holding his mouth superior.
I accidentally turned into a cross-eyed one.
…puff.
Chi Yiyin chuckled secretly, then let go of his hand unhurriedly, and repeated his question again.
Just as the little boy was about to cry, he saw his "sister" raised her hand with a smile.
"belch."
He hiccupped and didn't dare.
I can't run away, and I can't cry. The little boy who was frightened by success could only wring his fingers sullenly, counting the names of Chi Yiyin, trying to trade his freedom.
"Ma Yuze, Ma Qing, Ma Yulan."
He looked at Chi Yiyin anxiously: "It's gone."
It's just that it's different from the look in which Chi Yiyin was expecting to play with him just now, this time he wants Chi Yiyin to let him go.
The system also broadcasted in time: [Get the names of important NPCs, and initially check the background of the sister, the current progress: 51%]
Chi Yiyin knew what the little boy was thinking, but he still smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao can't shout like before, you know? Come on, my sister will play with you now."
With that said, he let go of the little boy, and made a gesture to get the little boy's toys.
The little boy trembled suddenly, and took advantage of the gap when he was let go, and quickly ran away.
Seeing that her plan was going smoothly, Chi Yiyin didn't feel guilty about bullying the child at all, she just looked at the direction the little boy ran away with a smile, made a note in her heart, then stood up slowly, the false smile on her lips gradually changed. light.
When the servant led the way just now, he discovered that his sister's boudoir was in the corner of the mansion, not the main building.
But judging from the housekeeper's attitude towards his younger siblings, the three children's status is not low, and they must be nearby if they don't live in the main house.
In other words, Mrs. Ma's master, whom the servant refused to tell, was also in that direction.
When Chi Yiyin stood up straight, the false smile on his face disappeared, leaving only a calm and indifferent face, as if he had thrown away a used mask casually.
Tong Yao, who spent all her time investigating the situation in the mansion, and fearing being discovered, didn't know that Chi Yiyin, who seemed to her to choose unwisely, had already triggered the main storyline just by returning to a room, advancing 51% of the plot. Not to mention the progress, the layout of the entire mansion has been clearly seen, and even the location of the Ma family couple has been roughly deduced.
Players feel that there are more clues hidden in the dark than they can see, while ignoring things that are at their fingertips.
But the "sister" boudoir that they despise, has been played to the extreme in Chi Yiyin's hands.
Chi Yiyin stood still in the empty courtyard for a while, then took out the red envelope from his suit pocket.
The slender fingers with well-defined bones gently took out the card in the envelope. Against the red background, it looked even whiter and cleaner.
When Chi Yiyin saw the words on the card clearly, his pupils shrank.
It was different from what he saw at first!
...The words on the card are actually changing dynamically?
Chi Yiyin remembered the several "triggers" mentioned by the system before.
There are no clear rules, and even tasks are not issued in advance, everything depends on his own exploration and triggering.
The appearance of the rules is on the surface, but the rules are actually hidden and refused to be easily shown to others. If you make a mistake, you will die... The planner didn't want the player to pass the level at all, and was clearly waiting for the player's death maliciously and happily.
If the game field is a real game, players will definitely curse the mastermind.
Unfortunately, this is the real game of death.
Chi Yiyin drooped her slender eyelashes like butterfly feathers slightly, but she was not moved at all when she saw the cruelty behind the rules of the game field.
Soon, he made up his mind, took out the pen pinned in the pocket of his suit jacket, and wrote on the red card.
[Ma Yuze. 】
Card is asking him about the truth about home, and it looks like the answer will be the real situation of the sister who pushed half the progress.
But what Chi Yiyin wrote on it was only her sister's name, which seemed to be an irrelevant answer.
Persisting in handwriting for many years, Chi Yiyin has developed a good handwriting.
The last stroke of "Ze" drawn with a silver hook, like a sharp sword, drew a long stroke on the card, extremely sharp, as if the card had been torn apart.
In the next second, together with the name written by Chi Yiyin and the previous words, all the handwriting on the card gradually disappeared, leaving only a card that was as red as blood.
It seems that Chi Yiyin gave the wrong answer, and the card is rejecting him.
But Chi Yiyin could clearly see that at the moment when the card was blank, new words slowly appeared on the envelope.
【Recipient: Ma Yuze】
The copy acknowledged Chi Yiyin's identity as "sister".
Chi Yiyin's eyes began to blur the past scenes, as if the dungeon was rewarding him, showing him the part he had glimpsed.
The girl in the long skirt raised her hand and got out of the carriage, carrying the suitcase, and walked towards the mansion under the gaze of the butler. With the gloomy and ear-piercing sound of rubbing, the heavy door of the mansion slowly opened to the girl.
The strong wind rushed towards the girl, knocking off her hat, her long hair fluttering, and the house behind the door was dark like a monster that would choose to eat someone.
The butler grinned sinisterly.
At that moment, the whole mansion fluctuated in front of Chi Yiyin's eyes, as if everything had finally come to life, from a cold copy to his real home.
—He is Ma Yuze, he lives here, there are younger brothers and sisters who hate him and servants who despise him, and wealth is not his wealth.
At the same time, Li Li on the other side of the mansion sensed something, and raised his head in surprise: "What's going on? The dungeon was really triggered."
The companion frowned: "Who did it, was it Ah Si's fox? Or some other old player who came here for the instance boss?"
The two looked at each other, seeing each other's seriousness.
"No matter who did it, the dungeon will officially enter the countdown after the trigger, and we don't have time to find Master Ma."
"Damn it! This is the best chance to kill the dungeon boss solo, if you let me know who it is..."
The companion gritted his teeth, couldn't help being irritable, and kicked towards the rockery.
But the system doesn't care about anyone's thoughts, and the cold and heartless voice still rings in the minds of all players.
[Dungeon [Dear Home], the countdown begins, all survivors are requested to clear the dungeon within seven days. 】
[Please note that because this is the last time this dungeon is online, the rules have changed from before. This dungeon does not allow any survivors to leave the dungeon by means other than clearing the customs. The point exchange and item exchange services have been closed. 】
[Survivors who fail to clear the dungeon within the time limit will be left here and will be recycled and destroyed by the game field along with the dungeon. 】
[Good luck to all the survivors. 】
"Varied!"
The old players in the mansion were shocked.
Li Li and his companions couldn't come back to their senses for a while, and were stunned on the spot by the sad news.
Random...falls.
The revised rules simply blocked all their escape routes.
But the question is, this is a dungeon that no one has ever cleared, can they really do it...
The players who were exploring the mansion lost their minds and were so heavy that they couldn't breathe, as if they had seen their own death.
Chi Yiyin also heard the announcement from the system, but he didn't care about the imminent death, but was touched by the revised rules.
"My luck is not so good as always."
Chi Yiyin sighed with a chuckle, turned around and stepped into the boudoir.
But just as he raised his eyes and looked into the dim boudoir, he suddenly saw the huge mirror facing the door.
In the mirror, the woman stood behind him, staring at him coldly.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared again.
Chi Yiyin turned around for a moment to look, but there was clearly nothing in the open space behind him.
But he didn't see it, the moment he turned around, the woman reappeared in the mirror, her long hair fluttering, she seemed angry, she roared silently and rushed out of the mirror.
"boom!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
