Chapter 4 Puppet Tourist Town (2)

"My name is Zhou Guoqiang, and I am the mayor of Puppet Tourism Town." The middle-aged man introduced, "Our Puppet Tourism Town has a well-known intangible cultural heritage puppet show. On this basis, we also add entertainment that young people like nowadays. Facilities, I guarantee you... you will like them."

Zhou Guoqiang's eyes still fell on Su Yun. Su Yun had strong adaptability. From the beginning, he had a chill down his spine, to now he turned a blind eye.

She looked at her surroundings calmly. The houses in the town were built with blue bricks and black tiles. There was a lot of moss growing on the bricks and tiles, and there were also a lot of ivy growing on them. They looked a bit old.

There are basically a dozen puppets hanging under the eaves of every house, which echoes the theme of Budai Town.

The puppets are about [-] to [-] centimeters long. They are both male and female. They are all very delicately carved. Their expressions are vivid, including crying, laughing, fear or anger. They are also dressed in different styles, including classical clothes and... Modern and contemporary costumes, and none of them are the same.

In this quiet night, illuminated by the dim firelight from the old lanterns, the eyes of the dolls seemed to be staring directly at the players. The breeze blew the silk threads and drove the puppets, as if the puppets moved with the players. And when he moved his eyes, it looked very scary.

The girl who was crying with Xu Mengmeng screamed in fright and unconsciously moved closer to Fang Yi, seeking a sense of security. Fang Yi was considerate. He turned his head slightly and didn't know what he said in the girl's ear. The girls' fear was somewhat alleviated.

But if you ignore the puppets hanging on the eaves, there are these old Chinese-style retro houses on the left and right in front of the town. There are stone lions in front of the houses, and there is a road paved with bluestone slabs in the middle. At a glance, it looks like a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Poetic.

Su Yun comforted himself.

In this environment where life and death are unknown, fear is the emotion that needs to be restrained most.

Even if you feel extremely panicked in your heart, you should still be calm on the face.

Just treat it as a temporary overtime shift. The best and worst outcomes are the same, either you have to be strong and get a salary, or you can't resist and be forced to take a dog leash.

Of course she should choose the former as much as possible.

However, she herself likes classical culture and is familiar with intangible cultural heritage. She ignores the frightening aspects. In fact... it feels pretty good.

The atmosphere among the players is depressing and heavy.

Zhou Guoqiang seemed not to notice, but his face was still full of joy, and he introduced enthusiastically: "Our puppet town has a long history, and our ancestors started their home by performing puppet shows. There is no hustle and bustle of big cities, the folk customs are simple, the environment is beautiful, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. It is particularly suitable for Settle here.”

He seems to really want players to settle down in Puppet Tourist Town. He will introduce shops along the way, as well as the special snacks in the shops, and even private houses that can be purchased or rented.

If most shops hadn't been closed at night, he might have taken the players in for a late-night snack or something.

The old players are collectively wondering, did this NPC take the wrong medicine?
They have never seen an NPC with such a friendly smile and no trace of malice.You must know that there are many NPCs in horror games who can eat people. If they don't open their mouths and show their kind eyes, they are already very approachable.

When things go wrong, there must be monsters, weird things, absolutely weird things.

This is the first time a new player has downloaded a dungeon. He knows very little about the NPCs in the dungeon. Now he is still in a state of fear. He is trying his best not to look at the puppets hanging under the eaves, mechanically following the pace of the veteran players, for fear of being left alone. What an accident.

Fang Yi noticed that the NPC's eyes always fell on Su Yun, and began to doubt his initial judgment.

The game copy will drop a prop that increases the NPC's favorability. After using it, the NPC will not suddenly go berserk and kill people.

But seeing that Su Yun still looked calm, and his subtle movements revealed a trace of unnoticeable tension and fear, he smiled slightly and said that he was too worried.

He paused for a moment, waiting for Su Yun to step forward, and showed Su Yun a friendly and trustworthy smile. His subtle body language expressed a sense of protecting the newcomer without making people feel disgusted.

Su Yun just glanced at Fang Yi briefly and then withdrew his gaze.

There is a hotel in the center of the town. The hotel is still in business at this time. It should be the entertainment place that Zhou Guoqiang mentioned. It may not be open at night. The doors are closed, but the lights are on. It can be vaguely seen that it is quite modern. Famous entertainment projects.

Zhou Guoqiang led the players into the hotel and said: "It's getting late today. Passengers are tired from traveling. I'll take you around tomorrow. Let's sleep in the hotel tonight. This is the first time for our distinguished guests to arrive. The cost of room and board for the day is on me.”

The last sentence was said to the front desk staff.

The receptionist at the front desk was a girl who looked to be in her early twenties. She had a chubby baby face and looked very cute.

She was fiddling with the abacus beads boredly without raising her eyes. Zhou Guoqiang's smile froze, he frowned and raised his hand to knock on the counter to signal. The girl reluctantly raised her eyelids, glanced at the player, and when she saw When Su Yun stood at the end, his eyes lit up and his attitude visibly improved.

"Okay, okay, welcome to our distinguished guests." She was even a little nervous, standing straight and smiling slightly shyly, showing a pair of dimples on her cheeks.

Su Yun was puzzled.

Only then did I take the time to think about the words "old friend" in the text marked red in the system.

Old friends... and adults.

She was sure she didn't know any extraordinary human beings.

For now, she only knows that she is involved in a thrilling game, in which she may die, or she may gain equivalent benefits, such as wealth, in great danger.

Beyond that everything is unknown.

Nor is she some legendary figure with a special background.

He is just an ordinary child from an ordinary family. After graduation, he chose to leave home and work for his own independent life in order not to witness the diversity of human beings in a blind date.

I didn't work hard enough to figure it out, my salary was mediocre, and I was either working overtime or on the way to working overtime, always on the verge of sudden death.

Her head was still aching slightly due to lack of sleep due to overtime work.

Speaking of which, her appearance took after that of her mother. Could it be that... what kind of legend is her mother?Do you know this gentleman?
This is unlikely.

As far as she knew, her mother was also a very traditional woman. She came from a scholarly family. After graduation, she rushed to get married and started the life of a housewife who raised her husband and raised her children. She had no other social life except the wives around her.The conclusion is fruitless.

At this time, the system prompt sound.

[Congratulations to the player for triggering the main quest - Qualified Passenger. 】

[Task Difficulty: Beginner]

[Task description: Starting from the next day, players must complete one of the entertainment items in Puppet Tourist Town once a day. The settlement will be at 15 o'clock that night. If not completed, the points will be deducted by [-]. If the points are settled at No. [-] and the level is zero, the player will not be allowed to pass the level. . 】

[Players are requested to actively play various projects in Puppet Tourism Town and become a qualified tourist. 】

Su Yun frowned. New players had no points. For new players, participation in this mission was compulsory.This time, Zhou Guoqiang coughed and said with his eyes, "Please arrange a room for your distinguished guests. Don't neglect us."

The receptionist nodded hurriedly, "Of course."

Zhou Guoqiang nodded with satisfaction and said before leaving: "Our puppet tourist town warmly welcomes tourists to settle in the town."

No one wanted to take his word for it.

Zhou Guoqiang smiled and left.

The front desk receptionist took out the key card and did not require players to register. He only said that they had made an appointment a long time ago, so they waited until now, and muttered in a low voice that they usually get off work at [-] o'clock in the evening. This was considered overtime and no overtime pay was given.

After saying that, he started reading out names and handing out room cards.

The first person to get the room card was the man who looked like a "background board". His red hair was still hidden, and he couldn't even see clearly under the hood.

His name is Yan An, room number 441.

The man took the room card and calmly went upstairs.

The floors of this hotel are not high, up to the fourth floor, and there is no elevator installed.

Then came the middle-aged man, Gao Yong, 241.

The guys in tight suits are named Zhao Hu and Wen Bao, and their room numbers are 242 and 243 respectively.

The three people took the room cards and went upstairs. Zhao Hu and Wenbao looked a bit like they wanted Gao Yong to be the boss.

Looking at the 244 key card in his hand, Su Yun's eyebrows jumped as he reached the receptionist and showed a friendly smile with white teeth.

This doesn't seem like an auspicious number.

Su Yun struggled and said, "Can I change it?"

The receptionist still smiled, "No, dear, this is our VIP room. The comfort level is higher than other rooms, dear." It sounded like a customer service from a certain store.

Su Yun: "..." Do I still want to thank you?

Then came Song Xiaoling and Xu Mengmeng. Before the front desk handed over the room card, Song Xiaoling said, "Can I live with Mengmeng?"

The receptionist glanced at the two of them and said, "Okay, double room." She took back the room card she was about to hand out and took out another room card, "341, take it."

Starting with these two people, there were two new players who temporarily changed to a double room. They were two girls in their twenties.

The attitude of the old players is very strange. They have no intention of joining together, even though there are two female players among the old players.

At this point, all the old players, except for Yan An who lives in 441, live in single rooms on the second floor.

The remaining two new male players have no plans to live in a double room. One of them has a room number of 245, which happens to be next door to Su Yun.

Old players should know more about this game. Su Yun had many questions to ask, but those players took their room cards and went upstairs with no intention of talking. In addition, because they often worked overtime and stayed up late, their heads It hurts too, so I can only find a chance to ask tomorrow.

So he also went upstairs.

The receptionist's eyes followed Su Yun until he could no longer see him.

Su Yun found it strange when the room cards were first issued. The room numbers in the hotel seemed like some kind of bad joke. The room numbers issued to players all started with 4. When they went up to the second floor, they saw 241 at a glance. 2 is the floor and 41 is the room number.

Not arranged according to normal hotel room number at all.

Su Yun opened room 244. The layout of the room was not much different from that of an ordinary hotel. Su Yun locked the door and carefully checked the bed, wardrobe, toilet and other places. There was nothing abnormal.

After washing up, I couldn't hold my head and it hurt so much, so I put on the pajamas I had prepared and lay on the bed and fell asleep soon after.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

"Knock Knock Knock-"

Neither speak.

Su Yun was in a light sleep and struggled in his dreamland for a moment. He opened his eyes drowsily and saw that the knocking outside the door was still there. The pauses were about two or three seconds apart and the intensity remained unchanged.

She still remembered the new type of porcelain, but her tired body was stained by the soft bed and she was not allowed to get up again. She could only force herself to cheer up, turn over, and fall asleep again.

After a long knock on the door, he turned to knock on the door next to him.

Not long after, there was a "squeak" sound, and the player next door opened the door.

She was confused, and seemed to hear a frightened scream, which suddenly stopped, as if someone had strangled her throat, and she could no longer make a sound. Finally, there was a faint sound of chewing.

In Su Yun's dream that night, the receptionist at the front desk knocked on her door, but to no avail. He then knocked on the door next door. The man in Room 245 opened the room impatiently and was about to curse when he saw the receptionist girl's mouth. The grin opened to an incredible arc, revealing densely packed teeth.

As soon as the man screamed out of his throat, the receptionist grabbed Destiny's throat, making him unable to make any sound.

The eating scene that followed was so bloody that even if it was a dream, my brain would still block it.

She seemed to have heard the system announcement in her dream.

[In view of the existence of ****, the difficulty of the game has been upgraded. The current stage is advanced copy difficulty]

[If the player successfully survives, he will be compensated with skill upgrades and doubled player points. Please play with caution and cherish your life]

 The name is useless, just use the dungeon name from the end of each dungeon_(:з」∠)_Sorry.
