Who invited the witch into the eerie game?

Chapter 105 The Strange Game: Fox Demon Town

You found it?

This is a bit too outrageous.

Even though Su Feng became a world-class magical girl and had level five administrator privileges in the bizarre game, she still didn't understand what was going on.

Could it be that some strange demigod smuggled himself to Earth and deliberately dropped a card at her doorstep for his sister to pick up?

Or perhaps the real target of these strange demigods is her, the magical girl?

But there's no reason for it.

Because Su Feng had no idea what a Fox Demon Town was.

"Sister, what are you planning to do?" Su Feng asked.

"Let's go in and play!"

Su Xiaoshuang blinked. "Let's go in and experience it."

?

Su Feng thought she had misheard, but in fact she hadn't.

Thinking about his sister's combat power after transforming into a magical girl, Su Feng felt that something was not right.

There are probably big secrets about my older sister, Su Xiaoshuang.

She has it too.

this----

Let's not investigate any further.

In short, she's now a world-class magical girl.

Even if the God of the Uncanny descends, as long as he is not too strong, she can defeat him.

She will protect her sister's safety.

Let my sister continue grinding levels in these bizarre dungeons.

"Sister, the 725th Bureau is looking for me. I'll go take care of it."

Su Feng said, "I will deal with all those who have slipped through the net and are coveting my sister's strange objects."

"Uh-huh."

Su Xiaoshuang nodded.

She was preparing to pack everything up.

Suddenly, I accidentally scratched the coupon [Strange Game: Fox Spirit Town Invitation].

"I'll try out this weird game first."

Su Xiaoshuang blinked and looked at the countdown timer that popped up for the entrance.

"Okay, sister, be careful!"

Su Feng said.

"Player Su Xiaoshuang used the [Strange Game: Fox Demon Town Invitation]".

"You are entering the Fox Demon Town."

"You are a high-level administrator and will be matched with a special NPC."

"You are currently using the special NPC Celia Xavier. Do you wish to continue using her, or switch to a new NPC?"

Huh?

Can I still use the previous NPC character?

So why can't we continue using the NPC character Monica Hodgson?

Su Xiaoshuang thought about it for a moment and seemed to understand the reason.

At Blackrock Mountain College, she was a temporary replacement.

At Aoyama Hospital, she was a complete replacement.

This may also be related to the authority to take over the related bizarre games.

If Blackrock Mountain Academy becomes her game, then she will have the authority to completely replace Monica Hodgson, the NPC.

"Continue to enter as Celia Xavier."

"3

Su Xiaoshuang made a decision.

Celia Xavier is the director of Green Hill Hospital.

In other words, a respected doctor who is popular wherever he goes would surely gain prestige upon entering Fox Demon Town.

"Welcome, distinguished guest, Dr. Celia Xavier. Have a pleasant holiday in Fox Town!"

,

In an instant, the scenery before my eyes changed.

Su Xiaoshuang appeared at the border of Fox Demon Town carrying her suitcase.

Behind them, a thick fog obscured everything, making it impossible to see anything.

Ahead lay deep mountains and old forests.

However, there was a small path underfoot, which looked like the way to Fox Demon Town.

Unlike before, not long after Su Xiaoshuang entered the game, eight other players joined.

They lay unconscious by the roadside, each player bearing a faint fox-shaped mark on their wrist, seemingly a marker of their identity.

Su Xiaoshuang looked at her own; she didn't have any.

"Should we wake these players up?"

After a quick thought, Su Xiaoshuang lit a fire nearby and then used a basic water ball spell to wake up the unconscious players one by one.

"Where is this?"

He Nini looked around and saw Su Xiaoshuang waking everyone up.

"You're awake?"

Su Xiaoshuang said, "Don't worry, I saw you were unconscious here, so I woke you up."

"Judging from your attire, you must be backpackers. Did you get lost here?"

"6

"The miasma here is very strong."

"You've probably been affected by the miasma and fallen into a coma. If you don't wake up, you might die here from hypothermia."

'

'

He Nini was startled.

She quickly calmed down; she had entered a bizarre game.

Through the game terminal, He Nini learned that the name of this eerie game instance was: Fox Demon Town, also known as Thousand-Faced Fox Town.

Every player who enters Fox Demon Town will have a faint fox mark appear on their wrist.

This signifies their identity and also the start of the game.

Su Xiaoshuang didn't have it on her wrist.

This isn't a player!

He Nini felt a chill run down her spine.

As a seasoned player who has experienced many challenging and bizarre games, He Nini understands that Su Xiaoshuang must be a neutral NPC responsible for guiding players; otherwise, there would be no need to wake them up.

However, as players become stronger, guiding NPCs has become increasingly dangerous because many players will choose to kill them immediately after using them.

If you're lucky, you might even find some rare and precious artifacts.

Bad luck, died instantly.

"Where is this?"

He Nini asked.

"The border of Fox Spirit Town".

Su Xiaoshuang said, "Just keep walking along this road and you'll get there, provided you don't get lost."

Soon, the players woke up one after another.

They glanced at Su Xiaoshuang, but none of them expressed their gratitude.

They seemed to be used to the presence of this neutral NPC and immediately began introducing themselves.

"Let's all introduce ourselves first."

He Nini spoke first: "My name is He Nini, I'm a summoner, Sequence 5."

"Cao Ziyue, professional singer, Rank 5," said the young man with dyed yellow hair, a very youthful-looking face, and an earring.

"Zhou Chuan, fraudster, Sequence 5," the middle-aged man with a square face, carrying a briefcase, said with a smile.

"Shen Junxian, guitarist, Sequence 5," said the young man with a guitar on his back, dressed in punk style.

"Charson McDonald, Knight, Sequence 5," the bearded white man said.

"Mabel Holmes, Hunter, Sequence 5," the hunter said, wiping his bow and arrows as soon as he woke up.

"Liz Cox, a witch, Sequence 5," said the young woman, dressed in a manner that was clearly not that of a witch, but rather that of a vagrant and seemingly insane.

"Kono Seiichi, samurai, Rank 5," said the young man, dressed in neon-colored classic samurai attire, who appeared to be a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) high school student.

After the eight people finished introducing themselves,

"Have you gathered all the information here?"

'

At this moment, Kono Seiichi suddenly said, "Once we've figured it out, the neutral NPCs are useless. We're all Sequence 5, and with our combined combat power, we're more than capable of killing a strange demigod."

error?

Su Xiaoshuang was very surprised.

No, is it reasonable to discuss killing her in front of her?

Aren't you worried that neutral NPCs will attack first?

A brief silence fell over the air.

It's clear that these people either want to, but don't dare to be so blatant.

Some people absolutely don't want to, but they just can't help it because they're really unlucky.

"In that case, let's go into Fox Demon Town first."

He Nini stood up and said.

Honestly, in this desolate wilderness, she recalled videos of some hiking friends who got lost and called the police, and she was scared.

Several people came over and agreed.

"Hello, Celia, could you please take us into Fox Spirit Town?"

Shen Junxian walked over and asked politely.

"no problem."

After pretending to be an NPC for a while, Su Xiaoshuang said, "I'm traveling to Fox Demon Town, so I'm quite familiar with this place."

With that, Su Xiaoshuang picked up her luggage and walked forward.

Shen Junxian, He Nini, and others followed behind.

After walking for nearly an hour, a brightly lit, quaint little town came into view.

The ancient stone tablet at the entrance to the town bears faded inscriptions: "Welcome to Fox Town."

"To leave this place, you must abide by three rules:"

"

First, do not believe everything people say is true.

Secondly, do not covet benefits that are not earned through cause.

Thirdly, never lose sight of your own essence.

"Remember this, remember this."

In addition to these, Su Xiaoshuang received a special rule reminder from Fox Demon Town.

Everyone who enters Fox Demon Town will receive an initial 100 points of humanity value, representing human cognition, emotions, and rationality.

Once your humanity value reaches zero, you will be completely assimilated, losing all memories and humanity, becoming a mindless beast or a fox demon's servant, and a new resident of the town.

Ways to reduce humanity value include:

They were successfully deceived and bewitched by the fox demon's illusion.

He ate the local delicacies of Fox Town for a long time and became addicted to them.

Witness the tragic scene of other players or NPCs being assimilated and dying.

Actively using the demonic power bestowed by the fox spirit, etc.

Outsiders living in Fox Demon Town will all receive an initial assimilation score of 0, representing the degree to which they are corrupted by the laws of Fox Demon Town and transformed into fox demons.

When the assimilation rate is >50, your body will begin to show fox-like characteristics, such as pointed ears, vertical pupils, and fox fur.

This might grant you some extraordinary senses or abilities, but it will also alienate you from other human NPCs and make you more vulnerable to being targeted by high-level fox demons.

If you're a pretty girl, this will be very cute, but please don't get too obsessed.

If the assimilation rate reaches 100% and the humanity is not reduced to zero, it will transform into a new fox demon.

The ways to increase assimilation include:

Actively imitate the behavior of the fox spirit and use the fox spirit's power.

He accepted the fox spirit's gift, but did not pay a sufficient price.

They passively absorb demonic energy during specific rituals such as fox spirit temple fairs.

[Daytime]

The town's residents are mostly fox spirits in disguise. During the day, they behave like normal humans, being warm and hospitable, but their words are full of probing and traps.

Taboo:

-

It is forbidden to directly identify a resident as a fox during the day.

This action will immediately disrupt the balance, causing the fox demon and its allies to reveal part of their true forms in broad daylight and begin hunting you down.

[Night]

Amidst the swirling mist and the eerie green glow of the lanterns, the fox spirits shed some of their disguises, gaining increased power.

Taboo:

Do not respond to the voices in the darkness that call your true name.

Do not enter an alleyway without lanterns alone.

If you hear footsteps behind you, do not turn around. Instead, hurry to where there is light or voices.

[Key Locations]

The Three Fox Shrine: A place where fox spirits are worshipped. You may obtain important information or trigger quests there, but it is extremely dangerous.

Forget-Worries Teahouse: A place where rumors and information intersect. The teahouse owner is a well-informed old fox spirit who can exchange information with you through stories or memories.

Fox Embroidery Shop: Sells clothing and accessories with special effects, but at high prices, usually requiring payment in the form of emotions or dreams.

Among them, the most valuable are the Qingxin Pendant, which temporarily reduces assimilation, and the Shouxin Hairpin, which enhances charm resistance.

You can get it directly if you have the opportunity.

The Mayor's Mansion: The mayor's identity is a mystery; he may be the most powerful fox demon, or he may be a special person trapped here.

[Resident Interaction Guidelines]

Fox spirits are keen to make contracts with players, offering help or power, but every contract comes with a hidden price.

For example, it could be your smile, your fear, a family relationship, or your future luck.

Extreme caution is required before signing.

Fox spirits are naturally inclined to deceive, but they are bound by rules and cannot directly utter their names.

For example, the player's real name and the inability to directly answer questions about the core secrets of the fox spirit.

This can be used to test the waters.

[Shadow Test]

Under certain lighting angles, the fox spirit's shadow will appear in the shape of a fox.

This is a relatively safe identification method.

But you need to be careful not to get caught.

Like the bizarre games I've experienced before, the rules of Fox Spirit Town are full of contradictions and dangers.

However, relatively speaking, it is much safer than Qingshan Hospital.

However, the conditions for completing the game are quite unreasonable.

The first type is the main quest: [The Fox Spirit's Approval].

The goal is to obtain three spirit fox tail hairs from different great fox demons, and then go to the Three Fox Shrine on the night of the full moon to hold a ceremony in front of the fox spirit statue.

After the ceremony, the road leading out of town will briefly appear.

They are easily assimilated during the process.

The second hidden completion mission: [Severing Cause and Effect].

The goal is to find and destroy the causal core that sustains the existence of Fox Town, but no one knows exactly what it is. It could be a magical artifact, a register, or the natal object of a core fox demon.

Once found, it needs to be destroyed during the solar eclipse.

-

The execution of this will trigger an attack from all the fox demons in the entire Fox Town.

Upon success, Fox Town will dissipate, and all trapped souls, including those of the assimilated players, will be freed.

The third special way to pass the level is: [Replace it].

The goal is to increase the assimilation rate to 100 while keeping the humanity value above 50.

Actively embrace the power of fox spirits, skillfully trade with and devour them, and continuously enhance your own demonic power.

In the process, we must uphold a part of our humanity to avoid losing ourselves completely.

When your assimilation level is at its maximum and your humanity still remains, you will face the tribulation of becoming a demon.

After you survive the tribulation, you will replace the current fox spirit and become the new master of Fox Town, gaining immense power and eternal bondage.

This is a mad path teetering on the edge of depravity, where power and freedom are mutually exclusive.

"In Thousand-Faced Fox Town, nothing you see is real, and nothing you hear is true."

"Trust is a luxury, and doubt is armor. The only thing you can rely on is your gradually eroded humanity and the will to survive that becomes clearer in the fog."

"Whether you gain the fox spirit's mercy, break the chains of fate, or fall into the path of demons, it is all up to you."

"Outsider, I hope you survive."

"————"

Su Xiaoshuang read through all of this.

Suddenly, she found a traditional-style invitation with a fox pattern in her hand, inviting her to the Fox Fairy Temple Fair in three days.

Wait, can you get quests as an NPC?

Su Xiaoshuang was very curious.
