"Through the adventurers on the scene, we have confirmed one thing, that is, this secret realm does not allow E-level adventurers to enter. This has never happened before. This may mean that the danger of this secret realm is far greater than the previous three secret realms. Aren't those D-level adventurers who went out recently about to come back? We only have a few D-level adventurers now, so why not wait until those people come back before conquering it? Anyway, the secret realm is there and they won't run away..."

Everyone had their say, but the core idea of ​​the conversation was: let's leave this thing alone for now, safety first, don't touch it to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and consider it again after those D-level adventure teams that have gone out come back in a few days.

Before the president next to them said anything, everyone had already made the decision after talking to each other.

Everyone thought that this was the safest way to do it, except the president who was very unhappy.

After all, the closure of the Karen Theater put a lot of pressure on him from the citizens and the city's top leaders, so these guys certainly didn't care.

The president expressed his dissatisfaction, but he did know that doing so was the best way to deal with the current situation.

After all, the D-level adventurers who are still left in this city are basically individual individuals. Whether in terms of strength or combat coordination ability, they are relatively less reliable than those large adventure teams.

If we act impulsively now, there will probably be casualties. After all, the intensity of this secret realm is likely to be unprecedented.

If it was like the last time with the Secret Realm Thief's End, where several people from the pioneering team died, I don't know how much effort the association would have to put in to settle the situation.

So, in the end, the president came to the conclusion.

"In that case, we will hold our ground and inform the adventurers who are still there not to blindly enter the secret realm. We cannot determine the dangers inside for the time being. The association's raid will officially begin in five days, so please don't worry."

This notice was issued, causing varying degrees of dissatisfaction among everyone.

But there is no way, because the association has specially emphasized the danger of the secret realm in the notice, and no adventurer would be so brave as to seek death.

But things are definitely not that simple.

As the creator of the secret realm, as the strength of the secret realm gradually increases, due to the increase in the mortality rate, adventurers will definitely reduce the number of times they enter the secret realm. Lin Fei naturally took this into consideration.

Therefore, when he was creating the secret realm, he added some new things, and these things were the guarantee that forced adventurers to enter the secret realm.

So, on the next morning, when the residents living near the Karen Theater woke up in the morning, they were surprised to find that there was a thick white fog outside, no sunlight could be seen, and visibility was no more than ten meters.

When the president of the Adventurer's Association received the news, the area within 500 meters around the Karen Theater was already shrouded in fog.

Chapter 2: The Suicide Squad (Seeking votes and rewards)

When they woke up in the morning, residents living near the Karen Theater found that there was a thick white fog outside their homes. There was no sunlight at all and visibility was no more than ten meters.

It has already happened, and the Adventurer's Association has also received the news: the area within 500 meters near the Karen Theater is completely shrouded in fog.

That's right, this was done by Lin Fei. After all, as the level of the secret realm increases, the difficulty of the secret realm will continue to rise. In this case, the casualties of adventurers will also increase. The secret realm is different from a normal monster gathering place. When the monsters multiply to a certain level, they may riot and attack human cities. Therefore, adventurers have to kill monsters in the monster gathering place for a long time to ensure the control of the number of monsters.

But the secret realm is different. The secret realm is there and cannot be moved. If the losses are too great and they cannot win, they can simply not fight.

In order to prevent this from happening, Lin Fei made some small changes to this secret realm.

If the secret realm is not cleared once within a certain period of time, the energy inside the secret realm will continue to accumulate, and then when it reaches a certain level, it will begin to spread to the outside world.

The influence can only be eliminated if the adventurer passes through the secret realm, takes away the items that the secret realm nurtures with the energy of the earth veins, and puts the secret realm into a state of deficit.

The surface of this secret realm, the Fog Theater, was created by relying on the spiritual energy of the earth veins. Therefore, the fog spreading outside now also has a certain spiritual impact.

People inside will unconsciously get lost and enter a state of being trapped in a maze. Their spirits will be constantly eroded in the fog, and they will eventually lose themselves.

However, because this secret realm is only D-level after all, the maximum coverage range of the spreading fog is only about two kilometers around.

As long as the adventurer passes the level once, there will be no heavy fog within the next five days.

…………………………Dividing line…………………………

At the same time, at the Adventurer's Guild.

It’s the same meeting room and the same people as last time.

Because of the appearance of heavy fog, a large number of residents inside lost contact. From those residents who were still able to maintain contact, they learned that the fog could also cause people to get lost.

Now this matter can no longer be suppressed. The pressure from citizens, city leaders, and even the T City Adventurer's Association forces them to take action immediately.

"Look, look. What did I say before? We must act quickly for this secret realm. You said before that you would hold back, but now something has happened, right?"

"There was no problem with the secret realm yesterday, so how could we know it would turn out like this today... And the D-level adventurers we can mobilize now are basically independent individuals. Can they definitely handle it if they go in? What if they are wiped out in there, will it make things worse? We can't bear this kind of responsibility."

"That's right. And didn't you guys object when we took the final vote yesterday? Why are you acting like a wise man after the event now?"

"Bang, bang, bang, bang."

"Quiet, quiet."

The president sat in his seat, looking at the people who were still arguing in front of him, and had to slam the table hard to signal everyone to quiet down.

"There's no point in arguing now. Although our association is short of manpower, if we don't act quickly, our association will be doomed. A large area has already been occupied, and a large number of citizens have lost contact. It can't get any worse. Here's a list of those individual adventurers. We need to pick some of them out as a death squad and enter the secret realm. This way, even if we fail, at least we can tell the outside world that we tried our best."

Although the association also knows that under such circumstances, those D-level adventurers may not be willing to go into the secret realm, the strongest adventurers in their city are a few C-level ones, and these people are not here now. And it will take a few days for those D-level adventure teams with good cooperation and strong strength to come back.

There is no other way. The association has increased the bounty and treatment as much as possible, provided the best equipment to the adventurers for free, and guaranteed that as long as they can come back alive, they will be regarded as heroes of the city. Even if they die, their families will be taken care of.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward.

The conditions offered by the association can be said to be very good, and are very attractive to adventurers.

After the association announced the recruitment of the suicide squad, more than a dozen adventurers quickly accepted the association's call.

The association studied their various professions and their ability to cooperate with each other, and selected ten people from among them to form the death squad. (The minimum number of people allowed to enter the secret realm was tested yesterday, 10 people.)

They were given the best equipment in the association, and their backpacks were filled with various life and magic potions. They were also asked to get to know each other's abilities and specialties, and this death squad was barely complete.

The president personally came to the area covered by the fog and watched them enter it.

Then he gave a soothing speech to the nearby residents.

"Please rest assured, after our association discovered the situation, we immediately dispatched an elite adventure team into the fog. This fog should be related to the secret realm inside. As long as we pass through the secret realm, everyone can resume their normal lives. Please go home first, and everything will be over soon."

…………………………Dividing line…………………………

At the same time, inside the fog, there is the suicide squad.

After they entered the fog, they found that the road behind them had disappeared.

Because they knew the situation in the fog in advance, they were not too panicked. After five minutes, the former Karen Theater, now the secret realm, the Misty Theater, appeared before their eyes.

(This is also Lin Fei’s design. The ghost wall effect will make them subconsciously stay away from the boundary of the fog and get closer to the secret realm.)

"This is it, Captain, let's go in."

This temporarily formed death squad is led by Captain [Holy Knight] Liu Liang.

Looking at the secret place in front of him, Liu Liang nodded, "Let's go in."

"Beep, it has been detected that the number and level of adventurers meet the conditions for opening the secret realm. Do you want to enter?"

As the white light flashed, they entered the secret realm.

…………………………Dividing line…………………………

Ten minutes later, the association received bad news: the scope of the fog suddenly expanded and now covered an area of ​​one thousand meters around.

Because the situation happened suddenly, many residents did not have time to leave and were trapped.

"Fuck, it could really be much worse."

Lin Fei, who was far away in the school, also received a notification that his promotion task was completed.

Chapter 3. Story

(The inspiration for the Misty Theater comes from the world boss Kroy in Honkai Academy 2. It’s an interesting story, a boss from the underworld. If you are interested, you can go and have a look.)

Ten minutes later, the fog's coverage expanded again, covering a distance of one thousand meters around.

At this time, the president felt as if the sky was about to fall.

"It turns out things can get much worse. This is the end."

"so fast?"

Lin Fei in school also felt that his promotion mission had been completed.

…………………………Dividing line…………………………

So, what exactly happened?

The annihilation of the Suicide Squad was so sudden. Let's turn the clock back to ten minutes ago.

Ten minutes ago, inside the secret realm.

When the members of the Death Squad opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a hall.

The environment was run-down and gloomy, the paint on the walls had partially fallen off, and there were many spider webs on the corners. It seemed that no one had been in this hall for nearly a decade.

This is the safe area Lin Fei prepared for adventurers, and this is also the true appearance of this misty theater.

Pushing open the door in front means the start of the battle, while the door behind them gives them a last chance to leave here.

"My goodness, this Misty Theater is so shabby. It feels a bit eerie."

One of the team members wanted to try to push open the door at the back, but apart from receiving a prompt sound indicating whether they had left the secret realm, nothing happened.

"Okay, it seems that we only have this road ahead of us... Let's get ready. This shouldn't be the real Misty Theater. According to the previous intelligence, the location of the portals to these secret realms is a safe zone without monsters. Let's move forward and quickly solve this secret realm. Everyone outside is still waiting for our rescue. The sooner we solve this secret realm, the safer the people outside will be."

Captain Liu Liang gave the order and everyone prepared to enter the battle.

However, they still made some discoveries in this safe zone.

"Hey, what is this?"

A team member found a piece of paper on the table next to him, and there seemed to be something written on it.

"Hmm, what is it? Let me see it."

They found that this thing could actually be identified, and the result of the identification was this.

Title: The Contaminated Script

This is where all the stories begin.

long long ago……

In a small town, there lived a violinist named Koroi. Her violin playing was as beautiful as the sounds of nature and was known to everyone.

She loves playing so much and hopes to keep playing with the notes. She is eager to embark on a journey with her good partner, the violinist "Cherry", to spread the happy music to all parts of the world.

But...her beautiful piano playing seemed to be favored by God, as if keeping her in the world was a luxury.

Poor Kroy, what finally befell her was a tragic terminal illness.

Kroy: "Welcome to my theater, guests, please let us play a song for you."

Instead of traveling again, Kroy performed in theaters every day.

Nothing seemed to have changed, except that the music was becoming increasingly sad.

Fate always seems to play tricks on people, especially those famous people with talent, whose fate is always very rough.

She was a famous puppeteer. She was blind and her inner world was filled with darkness.

Gradually, she began to hate the whole world and her fate, and the dolls she made became ugly and terrifying.

■■■■■(This area is polluted and can no longer be seen clearly)Listen to my performance. ”

The puppeteer didn't think there was anything beautiful in this ugly world, but he still sat down and savored Kroy's piano playing.

"What exactly is this……"

The puppeteer asked himself this question, and although he originally hated the world, his heart was deeply moved by this clear melody.

From that day on, the puppeteer's eyes seemed to see the light again.

■■■(This place is polluted) Made into a doll■■(This time it is polluted)

■■■■■Making a living person into a doll is like the devil's way of doing things.

■■■■■Reject■■■■■

In the end, the famous violinist Koroi passed away in ■■.

The puppeteer fell into deep self-blame and began to make puppets frantically, hoping to recreate the melody that brought her light.

One year, two years... the number of discarded dolls has become too numerous to count.

No matter how well the puppets perform, or how amazing the music they play, the puppeteer cannot feel the soul of Kroy inside them.

Koroy: "I want to play a song for you, please listen..."

This sound lingered in the puppeteer's ears like an illusion, and she didn't want to give up until she could restore Kroy's song. Over time, this had become the only value for her to live.
