Chapter 1603: Chapter 1603: Luring Players to Their Deaths
“Bang bang!” Several desks in the classroom were overturned, along with three players who hadn’t fully awaken, and one of the players forced back into the classroom imdiately grabbed soone to use as a shield, shouting with false bravado, “Don’t ss with us! Six against one, we might not lose!”
The two already standing aside thought he might have a bit of a problem with his head, and the female player among them asked, “Don’t you have any long-distance teleportation props?”
If you’re going to run, run far away.
The other’s face froze, as if caught in a blatant lie, “I refuse to leave, I want to see what you plan to do!”
At this point, the player he grabbed also woke up, and imdiately slapped him—a slap not just ordinary, but fortified with the power of a prop, knocking both person and desk through the wall to crash into the railing outside.
The defense prop blocked most of the damage, and that player dusted themselves off and tried to run to the field, but of course, this ti they couldn’t get away, crashing repeatedly into a thickened spatial barrier. Sensing defeat, he returned to the classroom, and upon seeing Xu Huo’s emotionless face at the top, sighed, “This really gives
the fear of returning to student days.”
No one paid attention to him, and the remaining two players also woke up. They were as uncertain of the situation as the player who hit, but seeing everyone stare at the newcor, they followed suit.
“What are you doing? This has nothing to do with .” The newcor hastily pointed at Xu Huo, “He’s the one who brought us here; when I woke up, I was already here.”
There was a mont of silence, then a tall female player said, “It seems the trap props we set are useless, and we won’t be able to sleep for the next nine days.”
For advanced players, unless they’re hidden deep underground or have so prop to completely conceal them, finding soone is still quite easy, especially trapped in a city without many hiding spots.
“When did you enter the instance?” Xu Huo asked.
“Yesterday.” The tall female player said, “Ten in the morning.”
“I was in the morning too, but at ten thirty.” Said the player who ca from the outside, “Originally ca with a companion, but the white mist only brought
in.”
The others were roughly the sa.
Then Xu Huo asked them where they entered the instance.
All six players had entered with Tickets from Asymtric Eyes Station, but only two had found maps and confird they were on a land called “Huadu,” far from the sea, while the other four hadn’t even encountered a local after getting off the bus.
And the people of “Huadu” had the strange appearance trait of Asymtric Eyes.
“I’ve heard that many people near Asymtric Eyes Station are like this.” Tong Qi, the player brought back from the field by Xu Huo, said, “I heard from the locals that when the smaller eye completely closes, death is near. It’s really scary—if it were , I’d worry every ti I blinked whether my eyelid would open again.”
“Are there unconscious sleep symptoms like in the ‘Midsumr Night’ instance?” Xu Huo asked again.
The local-seeing Tong Qi and another middle-aged player, Mi Yaojia, both gave negative answers.
Unfortunately, the map found from Suffocating Rainforest Station only covered nearby islands, and didn’t depict their detailed contents, so it couldn’t be ascertained if the place they ntioned was near Stone dicine Island.
“Are these related to the instance?” Mi Yaojia asked, “Although so fixed instances have content related to the local environnt, it’s not the case for every instance.”
“And the 013 Zone people in this instance haven’t seen Asymtric Eyes; the dungeon venue extends pretty far.” Tall female player Liao Xiaorong said.
Xu Huo said nothing, paused, then asked, “What’s it feel like to fall asleep?”
The few exchanged glances, Mi Yaojia frowned, “Aside from sleeping deeper, it’s not much different from regular sleep.”
Liao Xiaorong nodded as she listened.
“You guys didn’t dream?” Tong Qi curiously looked around, “I was dreaming all night.”
“What did you dream about?” Liao Xiaorong quickly asked.
“Of course, good things.” Tong Qi said wistfully, “I dreamt I beca a Super Player, with all kinds of Super Props at my fingertips, even the Ga Governnt had to look up to , and beauties from all over threw themselves into my arms…”
Mi Yaojia interrupted him, “Do you often daydream like that?”
“The instance background says seeing the ‘Midsumr Night’s Galaxy’ might grant a wish, but I bet your wish is a bit far-fetched.” Liao Xiaorong said.
Tong Qi didn’t take it seriously, “Do any of you really think you can fulfill your wishes in a lousy instance? It’s obviously deceptive; I’m not planning to seek out the ‘Midsumr Night’s Galaxy’.”
“Why say that?” Xu Huo looked at him.
“Haven’t you noticed? This instance is a trap to kill players.” Tong Qi said straightforwardly, “After wandering around the city and not finding the ‘Midsumr Night’s Galaxy’, it’s only natural we’d think we might need a specific condition to see it.”
“The first thing that cos to mind would be sleeping and dreaming; this definitely isn’t included in the introduction for no reason, there’s likely so connection, and the cost is low, so why not give it a shot.”
“The second possibility is a near-death state, after all, those who have seen the ‘Galaxy’ were near death.”
“Players definitely won’t push themselves to a near-death state, even a fool wouldn’t do that. In normal circumstances, if they can’t pass, they might try the first.”
“But everyone knows the current situation. Sleeping so heavily either ans being poisoned or influenced by a special environnt. You can probably hold out with antitoxin, but trying it might ensnare you deeper, and what if you can’t wake up next ti?”
“Trying it once might seem fine since you can wake up after falling asleep, but who can guarantee you’ll wake up next ti? We were moved here without knowing if it’s good or bad.”
What he said made a ton of sense; this instance seems like a trap right in front of us with only two options, both highly dangerous.
“Since you’re so clear on this, why did you still fall asleep?” Xu Huo asked.
Tong Qi awkwardly scratched his head, “I just couldn’t resist…”
Right, that’s the key issue, ten days, who can resist not sleeping?
However, Tong Qi didn’t think it was a big deal, “As long as you don’t focus on clearing the instance, surviving to use antitoxin should be fine.”
Using antitoxin, they wouldn’t fall asleep like normal people.
“Just one day in, no need to give up so quickly.” Liao Xiaorong said, “Which instance is easy?”
The other players agreed, and since they felt fine after sleeping, they decided to wait and observe what would happen the next ti they fell asleep before deciding their course of action.
“You’re the only one dreaming,” Xu Huo looked at Tong Qi, “maybe you’re the closest to ‘Midsumr Night’s Galaxy’.”
