Who invited the witch into the eerie game?

Chapter 137 Enjoying a Pleasant Three-Day Holiday

"Guest, your cappuccino."

The waiter handed over the prepared coffee.

Su Xiaoshuang took the coffee and took a sip; the coffee had arrived just in time.

Although Feng Xiaoshi is dressed in a witch's robe, has beautiful gray-white long hair, and glass-like eyes, making her look very cute and approachable, she is actually not good at getting close to strangers as a socially awkward person.

Unless you're playing a bizarre boss in a bizarre game, you can barely maintain your composure.

After all, no normal player can get close to a strange BOSS for an extended period of time.

Wait, that doesn't seem to be the point.

The key point is that Feng Xiaoshi remembers her own name —

"Um, one more question, what is your main quest?" Feng Xiaoshi asked.

Yes, the main quest!

Reminded by this, Su Xiaoshuang realized that she had joined the strange game as a player this time.

The information about Linus on the game terminal was too much and too long, making her forget what the main quest was.

By quickly swiping the game terminal, Su Xiaoshuang found the main quest.

I almost spat out the coffee I had just taken a small sip of.

The game terminal screen clearly displayed: [Main Quest: Enjoy a pleasant three-day vacation in Linus.]

Considering that these bizarre game dungeon tickets were all given to me by my sister, and that I could complete the game and gain a lot of experience just by idling, it makes perfect sense for there to be such a main quest.

But how should she answer when other players ask about the main quest?

"My main mission is to enjoy a pleasant three-day holiday —"

Feng Xiaoshi said softly.

Su Xiaoshuang looked at Feng Xiaoshi, took a deep breath, and whispered, "Me too."

The coffee shop fell silent again.

Both of their eyes were fixed on the coffee in front of them.

The coffee smells great and tastes very good!

Without a doubt, it's no longer appropriate to continue asking questions at this point.

But if it's not explained clearly, who knows where the other person's thoughts will wander, perhaps even conjuring up images of some eerie god—

"So, did you also enter here using a special invitation?" Su Xiaoshuang asked.

"Ah, yes."

Feng Xiaoshi's eyes lit up. "It's one of those special invitations that lets you level up automatically without doing anything after entering a weird game instance."

"Yes, that's the kind of invitation."

Su Xiaoshuang said.

The two exchanged a smile and continued drinking their coffee.

The robot waiter was busy behind the bar, seemingly hearing everything, yet also seemingly hearing nothing at all.

Su Xiaoshuang breathed a sigh of relief as she sipped her coffee. It turned out that Feng Xiaoshi had also used a special invitation.

Everything makes sense now.

Feng Xiaoshi put down her coffee and gently exhaled.

So there are props like this.

As long as it's reasonable.

Just then, a commotion arose outside.

"Gentlemen, have a pleasant journey!"

The middle-aged man in the tattered suit took off his worn hat and bowed to the group of people. "In Linus, if you need anything, you can ask Old Jack. Old Jack will definitely be at your service."

Old Jack noticed Su Xiaoshuang and Feng Xiaoshi in the coffee, bowed to them again, and then turned to leave.

Feng Xiaoshi glanced at these people and then naturally looked away.

Su Xiaoshuang glanced at it secretly.

She was a little surprised.

Two of the players who entered Linus this time were actually acquaintances.

Wang Manman is a professional robin cosplayer, and Ji Tiantian likes to cosplay Daidoji Tomoyo.

They all teamed up with Su Xiaoshuang during the bloody comic convention incident.

That's why it's so easy to recognize.

It's because they were wearing cosplay outfits.

Su Xiaoshuang strongly suspected that the two of them had gone to the comic convention again and been dragged into this bizarre game.

The group entered the coffee shop one by one and each ordered a coffee.

"Although I don't remember your names, let's all introduce ourselves."

The man, dressed in a suit, carrying a cane, and holding a copy of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," introduced himself: "I am Moriarty, a detective by profession. Of course, this is a profession in Linus, Sequence 5."

"Robin, profession is superstar, sequence 5," Wang Manman said.

"Zhi Shi, my profession is photographer, Sequence 5," Ji Tiantian said. "Anyone who wants to take photos can contact me."

"A wandering mage, a mage by profession, Sequence 5," the thin, Mediterranean-looking man said, his expression somewhat gloomy, not like a good person.

"Windhound, profession is cartoonist, Sequence 5," said the young man with panda eyes, who seemed to have been working overtime for many days.

"A cook, a baker by profession, Sequence 4." The rather fat man frowned.

What?

The players were utterly shocked.

Having participated in so many bizarre games, this was the first time I had encountered a player at the demigod level.

only----

This fat chef doesn't look like a demigod at all.

"Sasaki Kojiro, professional jonin, rank 5," said the Japanese man equipped with a sword. "Although I've forgotten my name, I feel incredibly strong right now."

"Nicole Belfort, a professional physician, Sequence 4," said the blonde woman in the white coat.

The players were shocked once again.

I thought having one demigod in the team was already pretty overpowered, but I didn't expect there to be another one.

Horror!

In online games, an average player would most likely say, "Hey pro, can you carry me?"

However, when it comes to bizarre games, things are hard to say.

First of all, the appearance of demigod players means that this bizarre game is extremely difficult.

Secondly, no one knows whether demigod players will throw them out to die in their place when faced with bizarre rules of killing.

This is a default rule that almost all players in the bizarre game know.

"The game terminal shows that there are 10 players participating in this game."

Dr. Nicole's gaze fell on the bar counter. "You two cosplayers, aren't you going to introduce yourselves?"

The players all turned to look at the two people sitting at the bar drinking coffee.

They thought these two were some kind of weird NPCs.

I didn't expect him to be a player too.

"Gray-haired witch, professional tourist, Sequence 5." Feng Xiaoshi waved her hand, spouting nonsense without batting an eye.

"Pink-haired witch, professional tourist, Sequence 5," Su Xiaoshuang continued.

Wearing different styles of witch robes and naming them according to their hair color, they look beautiful and it makes perfect sense.

However, the validity of sequence 5 is questionable.

Because the strength of the player sequence in the eerie game is very sensitive.

At least from the current perspective, the sequence of Su Xiaoshuang and Feng Xiaoshi is somewhat unclear.

Of course, this does not rule out the influence of newly released strange game levels.

We'll find out once we form a team.

[Feng Xiaoshi] invites you to join the team.

?

Suddenly, Su Xiaoshuang received a notification on her game terminal.

She took a deep breath and instantly understood what Feng Xiaoshi meant. The two of them were talking nonsense with a straight face about their game identities and rankings.

If someone notices something amiss and wants to team up with the two of them, it will cause trouble.

agree.

Su Xiaoshuang joined the team.

Then, she looked at Feng Xiaoshi's message and fell into deep thought.

[Feng Xiaoshi], Level 30, Class: Witch.

[Su Xiaoshuang], Level 25, Occupation: Witch.

Feng Xiaoshi looked at Su Xiaoshuang's message and fell into deep thought as well.

Not only that, upon seeing Su Xiaoshuang's name, she instantly thought of Su Feng, the number one magical girl on Earth's ranking list.

Su Feng has an older sister named Su Xiaoshuang.

Su Xiaoshuang's personal information is well protected; nothing can be found about her, whether online or offline.

However, coincidentally, there is a creature on the list of strange creatures with the nickname [Celia], whose level is 25.

Unlike others, what others see as [Celia's] profession is:

What Feng Xiaoshi saw was: a witch.

Are there really that many coincidences in the world? No, they don't.

[Team][Feng Xiaoshi]: Let's team up.

[Team][Su Xiaoshuang]: Okay.

Around the same time, a new notification popped up on the game terminal:

[Nicole] invites you to join her team, but you have already joined another team.

[Moriarty] invites you to join his team, but you have already joined another team.

[The Chef] invites you to join the team, but you have already joined another team.

They're all bad people.

Su Xiaoshuang silently drank her coffee, pretending she hadn't seen anything.

"Everyone, this time in the eerie game, Linus, the City of Freedom, is a single city, and the map is too big. I suggest we form a group to facilitate timely communication within the team. What do you all think?"

Moriarty said with a smile.

?

Su Xiaoshuang blinked, not wanting to speak.

This guy is definitely targeting her. I really want to send a Flame of Light to Moriarty to purify his mind and body.

Other players also felt very uncomfortable; no one wanted to team up with a strange demigod player.

Too dangerous.

"I don't have the habit of teaming up in games."

"Dr. Nicole said."

-

As she spoke, she glanced at Su Xiaoshuang and Feng Xiaoshi again.

The air in the coffee shop felt strange.

"Team formation is not mandatory; everyone is free to form teams."

Moriarty said, "Now, let's all discuss the main quest."

"As before, we are given three main quests. The first main quest is called 'Work Hard,' which requires collecting 1000 Fear Crystals to exchange for an exit ticket in the central square."

"Main Quest Two [Fight for Freedom] requires us to join any faction of Linus to activate it, and I speculate that it is a PVP quest."

"Main Quest Three [Confess and Be Lenient]: The quest is to surrender to any tower guard. You can leave while retaining your memories, but you will permanently lose a certain emotion."

"Which main storyline are you all planning to choose?"

"...

""

Su Xiaoshuang and Feng Xiaoshi exchanged a glance. Is the player's main quest really that complicated?

These three tasks all seem like traps; none of them seem designed to keep the player alive.

"Theoretically speaking, the first main quest is a sure thing, but based on past experience, it is very difficult to earn those 1000 Fear Crystals unless you can find a bug to farm Fear Crystals."

The wandering mage said, "Most importantly, in any eerie game instance, the longer players stay inside, the easier it is for them to be corrupted and eroded. We don't have that much time."

"As for the third main quest, I believe everyone has seen similar people who leave the game by abandoning some of their emotions."

""

"After these people return to the real world, the pollution will spread in a very short time, and they will mutate into monsters."

"Looking at it this way, only the second main quest remains as an option."

Moriarty said, "So, Mr. Wandering Mage, your suggestion is to gather intelligence on the major forces in Linus before making a decision?"

The wandering mage shook his head: "No, I think we have more important things to do before choosing the main quest."

Everyone turned to look at the wandering monk.

Including Su Xiaoshuang and Feng Xiaoshi.

Regardless, they are now players, so they still have to put on an act.

"The side quest 'Find Your Memories,' which our guide, Old Jack, activated for us, is about finding our real names."

The wandering monk said earnestly, "This strange game is extremely dangerous. I don't want to be unable to remember my real name when facing death; that would be tragic."

A name is just a label.

Sasaki Kojiro struck a very chuunibyou (delusional) pose and said, "Once I can beat the game and leave this place, I'll naturally remember my name."

—"

"But how do we find the name?" the cartoonist Feng Quan asked.

"have no idea."

The wandering monk said, "In my experience, any quest triggered by a guide is very important. We can consult with Old Jack again later."

"What if old Jack is lying to us?" Dr. Nicole said. "Don't forget, this is a weird game, and you can be deceived by touching anything weird."

"My intuition tells me that finding my name is very important," the chef said after a long silence.

Seeing that both demigods had spoken.

Moriarty clapped his hands and gave a brief summary: "Alright, let's split into groups to investigate the second main quest and gather more clues about finding the name."

"In addition to that, there are also daily tasks related to our respective professions that need to be completed."

"We'll meet here at this time tonight."

What do you all think?

The group nodded in agreement.

Just as Moriarty was about to announce the start, Dr. Nicole raised her hand: "Wait a minute."

Players' attention was focused on Dr. Nicole.

Dr. Nicole's gaze was fixed on Su Xiaoshuang and Feng Xiaoshi.

Everyone turned to look, while Su Xiaoshuang and Feng Xiaoshi quietly sipped their coffee.

The atmosphere in the coffee shop instantly became strange.

"What are your thoughts, you two cosplayers?"

"no."

Feng Xiaoshi shook her head.

Su Xiaoshuang didn't want to talk and simply shook her head.

"Why are you all drinking coffee? Have you been possessed by something eerie?"

"Dr. Nicole asked again."

Her voice was cold, as if it carried a murderous intent.

If any player is corrupted or even replaced by the strange entity, it is best to deal with it immediately, otherwise it will pose a significant threat to the survivors, even if they are demigods.

"Look at the wall."

Feng Xiaoshi pointed to the art bulletin board in the coffee shop.

There was a rulebook for Lynas posted on it:

In Lynas, three meals a day must be completed every 24 hours.

[Breakfast: Find a special location before sunrise and drink a cup of Memory Coffee, otherwise you will begin to forget your identity.]

Lunch: You must eat food that contains the fear of others, such as noodles seasoned with fear crystals or wine brewed with fear.

]

[Dinner: You must offer a powerful emotion to the city—joy, sadness, anger, anything is acceptable; otherwise, your emotions will be drained, turning you into a walking corpse.]

Su Xiaoshuang glanced at the notice board and blinked; she hadn't even noticed the rules posted there.

"Why didn't you warn me about such important information?"

Dr. Nicole was very unhappy with Su Xiaoshuang and Feng Xiaoshi. "Do you want to watch us break the rules and get wiped out here?"

Can you bear this responsibility?

Su Xiaoshuang frowned slightly. She was there to AFK and gain experience, not to cause trouble.

Is this guy crazy?

etc----

Su Xiaoshuang looked at Dr. Nicole and instantly saw through the truth behind Dr. Nicole's disguise: "You, you didn't escape from a mental hospital, did you?"
