The copy has 0 error tolerance, and the last words on the ground are all wrong for me.

Chapter 263: One Week in the Dark Room

Wells, whose oil lamp was extinguished, felt as if his throat was strangled by an invisible hand. Pain appeared on his face, and the curse was stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter it.

He wanted to light the oil lamp again, but the noisy whispers in his ears made his vision gradually blurred.

Accompanied by dense whispers, Wells stopped and stared into the darkness.

Then he staggered into the darkness.

He couldn't see the surroundings, but the voice in his head guided him forward to complete his mission.

Then he came to the edge of the cliff, took a deep breath, and the sea breeze with a fishy and salty smell filled his lungs, making his eyes a little lively.

This is what he is looking for.

He walked towards the ocean, ignoring the cliff beneath his feet.

The next moment, accompanied by a strong sense of weightlessness, Wu Chang broke free from his resentment.

He shook his head, recalling the scene he saw in resentment.

The first is to write about an island that is always shrouded in darkness. The malice hidden in the darkness on the island will attack everyone indiscriminately.

except him.

Only with the help of special oil lamps can one move around on the island.

Secondly, in Wells' memory, there was a precious relic on the island. In order to study the relic, the military set up an investigation station on the island.

The research station has been put into operation and has yielded many results. The rubbings and photos of ancient characters Wells had received before were all from the scientific research station.

The research station brought together scholars from many fields, including theologians, philosophers, ancient architects, historians, archaeologists, wizards...

There are also versatile explorers like Hiroyuki Fujita, and Colonel Johnson who guards them.

Judging from the degree of their suicidal tendencies, the inspection station is full of talented people, and any one of them alone would be in a high-risk occupation.

If they get together, even if they are safe, the demons and monsters will still come to take a look.

What's even more terrible is that after these guys, who were already superstitious, came into contact with the so-called relic texts, they began to show great intelligence like Wells and Hiroyuki Fujita, believing that they were the ones chosen by God.

In order to compete for the so-called mission, they stabbed each other in the back. If nothing goes wrong with such great colleagues and workplace environment, it would be a shame to the military's plan.

Judging from the information he has collected so far, if he wants to pass the copy, he needs to find the resentful Hiroyuki Fujita.

Hiroyuki Fujita was at the front line of exploration and had first-hand data about the ruins. He kept a lot of intelligence privately and also obtained the ancient writing knowledge that he wanted to know from Wells.

Looking at the entire research station, no one should know more than him.

After determining the next target, Wu Chang prepared to continue the action, but before leaving, he needed to borrow some equipment from Wells.

The evil in the darkness will attack everyone indiscriminately. His character in the Administration is still a little transparent for the time being, and it is more reasonable for him to rely on equipment to pass through the darkness.

He took off Wells's oil lamp and watch, and took an ancient notebook and an antique magnifying glass from his arms.

The oil lamp that can dispel malice is very strong. Even if it falls from a cliff, it will only be slightly deformed and will not affect its use.

What surprised Wu Chang even more was that the oil lamp and magnifying glass were props.

"Item name: Night running light"

「Item type: copy item」

"Item Description: Use deep sea fish oil as fuel. Once ignited, it can temporarily resist the erosion of the Night Island."

"Note: Believe me, on the Island of Night, please make sure you always stay in the light."

Wu Chang checked the oil lamp. Since Wells died very quickly, the oil lamp was almost brand new and the lamp oil was almost full, enough for him to use for a long time.

Then he picked up Wells's antique magnifying glass.

"Item name: Gaze of History"

「Item type: copy item」

"Item level: C"

"Item Description: When observing ruins and artifacts, additional clues can be discovered based on the user's inspiration attributes."

"Note: There is no need to look through the books. The details of the ruins and artifacts will speak for themselves."

Putting on his watch and putting away his magnifying glass, Wu Chang turned on his night light and walked towards the research station in the center of the island.

About ten minutes later, Wu Chang arrived at the only place with light source on the Night Island.

Looking at the ruins before him, he found it hard to reconcile this place with the research station in Wilson's memory.

As far as Wilson could remember, the research station had been built less than three years ago, but the building before him was extremely dilapidated. The paint on the building had peeled off, and there were traces of fire, gunfire, and stabbing on the outside of the building, as well as blood that had seeped into the surface of the building.

It can be seen that there has been a huge chaos here, and probably more than one.

That Wessel, how many years has it been since he died?
As soon as Wu Chang entered within ten meters of the building, he noticed a flying sword shooting out from the building.

The flying sword that was once so fast that he could not detect it, he could now easily see its trajectory, and could even predict its path in advance based on the energy traction.

The flying sword landed in front of him as a warning, not an attack.

He pretended that he had no time to react to the flying sword and continued to move forward until he was almost stabbed by the flying sword. Then he suddenly stopped, took a half step back, and shouted:
"Jianxing, it's me, quickly retract your magical powers."

The flying sword circled around him and retracted into the building. A moment later, Jianxing and Leihuo came out.

The two stopped at the entrance of the research station. Lei Huo's eyes flashed with lightning. He stared at Wu Chang for a moment and said in surprise: "It's the real thing."

After hearing Leihuo's judgment, Jianxing approached Wu Chang and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Wu Chang said: "I heard that you were trapped in the Corrosion Dungeon and couldn't get out for the time being. I guessed that you were in trouble and needed help. I happened to know how to take advantage of opportunities, so I came to see you."

Jian Xing shook his head and said, "This is an A-level erosion dungeon, and the dungeon space rules are weird. Even we find it difficult. You shouldn't have come."

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "We are all just hooking up with the guys, why are you talking so much?"

Jian Xing was stunned for a moment, then a slightly helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If this was recorded as a VLOG with trembling sounds, it would definitely attract a large number of fans.

Wu Chang followed Jian Xing and Lei Huo into the research station. The power system in the research station was still running. Wu Chang saw Director Gao and Zhao Yan who were not there in the hall.

Both of them looked pale and not in good condition.

Wu Changhe greeted the two of them, explained again the reason for his presence, and briefly told everyone about the situation outside.

Seeing that everyone had no problem for the time being, he looked at Jian Xing and Lei Huo, wondering, "What happened to the Director and Brother Zhao?"

Jian Xing explained on the side: "This island is very strange. As soon as we entered here, we felt mental attacks coming from all directions, trying to control our minds."

"Zhao Yan's willpower was a bit low. Before we could react, he was affected by the darkness, his inspiration expanded, and he saw things he shouldn't have seen. Thanks to Director Gao's timely response and the mental shield, he was able to cut off Zhao Yan and his inspiration in time, preventing the things in the darkness from breaking through his will."

"Then Director Gao opened his mental shield and protected the three of us all the way to this ruin. Director Gao consumed too much energy and spirit, and needed to rest for a while." "Thanks to Director Gao's mental shield, which has a restraining effect on things in the dark, we were able to get here safely. Otherwise, let alone Zhao Yan, even Deputy Director Lei and I would have to pay a heavy price to pass through this area."

Wu Chang had a slightly strange expression after hearing this. It turned out that the darkness on the island was so dangerous that even players at the maximum level would find it difficult to deal with?

Moreover, Chief Gao is so weak, and he still says that the mental shield can restrain darkness?
The restraint he understood must be at least the same level as the four-sided fire lamp, or at least a night lamp.

Seeing Wu Chang didn't speak, Jian Xing asked:
"I didn't have time to ask you just now, how did you get here?"

Wu Chang pointed to the lantern in his hand and said, "Not far from the entrance to the dungeon, I followed my inspiration and found a man buried in the snow. I found a lot of equipment from him, including this night light."

"With it, I didn't feel anything strange during the trip, except for the slightly low temperature."

He placed the night light and the notebook and map he had found on Wells' body on the table, then glanced at a few people and added, "Before I came here, I thought everyone was like this."

silence.

The four Jianxing people took the night lights in their hands one by one, and after reading the description of the props on them, the hall became eerily quiet.

It turns out that such a crucial item can be picked up not far from the entrance to the dungeon. Then what is the point of their thrilling journey?
Add more drama?
Lei Huo didn't have much direct contact with Wu Chang. He only heard from Director Gao before that in the last erosion copy, Wu Chang broke through the erosion copy through careful observation and bold operations.

At that time, Lei Huo only had an impression of Wu Chang and did not have any very intuitive feelings.

Now he has.

No wonder Wu Chang, a newcomer who had a D- rating when he joined, had the confidence to say that Jian Xing might need his help.

When he first heard this, he thought it was just a childish brotherhood between young people. Now he just wants to say, why didn’t you come earlier?
If he had come back to report the news instead of Zhao Yan, wouldn't there have been so many problems?

Finally, it was Wu Chang who broke the silence. He asked, "What did you mean by 'genuine' when you were observing me at the door just now?"

This time it was Lei Huo who explained to Wu Chang. He said:

"On the way to this ruin, I saw a figure flickering in the darkness. He transformed into someone I knew and tried to talk to me, asking me to find him in the darkness. Every time I saw him, I would forget my own situation and fall into a special hallucination. I subconsciously wanted to leave the main group and respond to his call."

"After we entered here, that thing followed us, but it was afraid of the light emitted here and did not dare to step in. It only dared to change into the appearance of our acquaintances from time to time and wander around, looking for opportunities for us to be alone."

Wu Chang asked, "How strong is that guy?"

Leihuo shook his head and said, "Its frontal combat power is not strong, only about the strength of an ordinary player at level 20, but it focuses on mental attacks, which are hard to defend against, and it is difficult to be killed completely. It is very tricky to deal with the special rules of the darkness on the island."

Wu Chang looked at Lei Huo doubtfully and asked tentatively, "Deputy Director Lei, you seem to know this place very well."

Lei Huo smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I'm familiar with this place, but this dungeon is too famous. It once topped the dungeon popularity list, especially this island, nicknamed the small black room of the week."

Wu Chang became interested. Although he was strong enough, he had entered the Abyss Game for too short a time. In front of Lei Huo and other old masters who had entered hundreds of copies, he was just a rookie.

"Tell me more about it."

Lei Huo took out his cell phone, found a post from it, shared it with Wu Chang, and supplemented it based on the content of the post, so that Wu Chang could quickly know the information here.

"Dungeon name: Shivering Icefield."

"Instance type: Teamwork instance."

"Instance difficulty: A."

"Instance status: on the verge of losing control."

"Main Mission 1: Successfully survive on the ice for a month."

"Main Mission 2: Based on the clues, search for the lost scientific research stations, and find at least two of them."

"Main Mission 3: Investigate the truth behind the loss of contact with the scientific research station and find the secrets hidden in the ice."

The copy of Shivering Icefield appeared at the border of the Human Evolution Committee and the Administration's control area and was broken two years ago.

After the copy was broken into by a mysterious person, all the information about the copy lost its value and was gradually made public by various forces.

According to subsequent information, the place where the copy plot takes place is called Tundra, a place similar to Antarctica.

Similar to reality, the various countries in the copy plane have established many scientific research stations on the tundra in order to conduct research on climate, geography, biology, energy and other aspects.

But one day, something strange happened. In the southernmost part of the tundra, closest to the end of the world, seven scientific research stations lost contact one after another in a short period of time.

When players enter the dungeon, they need to find seven lost scientific research stations while keeping themselves alive.

As a copy on the verge of getting out of control, the Shivering Icefield copy is not difficult. It is a copy with a low lower limit and a high upper limit.

Because the main mission requirements are simple and you can complete the second main mission by choosing two out of seven, the survival rate of the copy is not low, and there is also a considerable copy clearance rate.

However, due to the high upper limit, it is very difficult for players to break through the dungeon.

Being located at the junction of two major forces, the status of Shivering Icefield is as awkward as that of Midnight Cemetery, which leads to an increasing number of players dying there, until it is gradually on the verge of getting out of control.

However, until the Shivering Icefield was broken through, it had not been able to make it onto the difficulty list of A-level dungeons. Its popularity came from the seventh of the seven expedition stations, the southernmost Night Island of all expeditions.

This place seems to be plunged into eternal night, with no sunlight all year round. According to the Naaru who lived on the tundra at that time, in their belief, the Night Island is the kingdom of the dead.

When someone in the tribe dies, they make a simple boat, put the body on the boat, and push it into the sea.

The ocean will carry the bodies of the dead to the Island of Night, into eternal darkness and tranquility.

The Shivering Icefield dungeon has a special mechanism, which is that which scientific research station you need to find in the main mission is not purely chosen by the players. At least the initial scientific research station you need to find is randomly assigned by the system.

Players have a one in seven chance of encountering the Night Island Research Station, which later became known as the weekly black room.

The Night Island Research Station sounds like the most prestigious one, but it is actually the easiest.

The area of ​​the island is not large. Players only need to buy a full set of equipment at the exploration base before entering the dungeon. Once entering the island, run into the Night Island Exploration Station, talk to the four indigenous people who stay in the exploration station one by one, and receive a bottle of special oil to complete part of the Night Island plot.

It's easy to finish, but hard to leave.

The ships traveling to and from Night Island have a fixed schedule of one trip every seven days. During this week, players must stay in the research station and stay with four indigenous people for a whole week, unable to do anything, before they can leave.

It takes one hour to complete the plot and a whole week to wait for the ship. In addition, the Night Island is in darkness the entire time, so it is called a small dark room for a week.

After describing the information related to Night Island, Lei Huo sighed and said:
"The painter's intention is very clear. He just wants to trap us here for seven days so that he can do whatever he wants during these seven days."

After Wu Chang learned about the information about the Shivering Icefield and the Island of Night, the expression on his face appeared similar to that of the old man on the subway.

No, buddy, are you sure you're talking about the A-level copy that's on the verge of getting out of control, and not some bonus copy?

Choose two out of seven main quests. One of the main quests is almost risk-free and can be completed in just seven days.

How is this different from the A-level copy that was on the verge of getting out of control that he knew?
What seven-day small dark room? If he had been assigned to this copy, why would he need to wait for the boat? He could have swam back to the shore just by swimming.

He resisted the urge to complain and asked Lei Huo:
"Deputy Director Lei, you just said that there are four native residents of this research station?"

Lei Huo nodded, and he and Jian Xing took Wu Chang to the next door. In a lounge, Wu Chang saw four middle-aged men who looked sloppy and crazy.

One of them he knew, Colonel Johnson, who led Wells to the island.
