Chapter 145 Kiss Dungeon: Lakeside Cabin

For someone like you who loves adventure, the daytime fog poses no threat; on the contrary, you're eager to face the challenges ahead.

"Then I must be a complete idiot."

That evening, you and your girlfriend decided to do some exciting things by the lake.

Ji Yi: "???"

But along the way, you seem to discover something strange, which finally makes you realize the seriousness of the problem.

[Attribute values ​​are locked]

Some items are now disabled.

Some skills are disabled.

The last two notification sounds ended.

Ji Yi opened her eyes.

He found himself lying on the grass. When he tried to stand up, he found himself seemingly being held down by a gravitational force.

Looking up, I saw a head of beautiful hair and a pretty face illuminated by the moonlight.

This person is Miss Cat.

Her shirt was wide open, revealing two conspicuous black crosses symmetrically positioned.

Looking down, there's an arrow on the abdomen, and words written on the side:
"I know you're peeking."

Follow the arrow and move your gaze downwards.

Ji Yi subconsciously peeked out and casually put her arm around the other person's waist.

But then Miss Cat did a side flip and then a cross armbar, locking Ji Yi's arm in place.

"hiss!"

Ji Yi quickly raised her other hand and patted her muddy feet:

"Miss Cat, it's me, it's me."

"I know."

The tension on my arm immediately eased.

"Wait for me to get dressed."

A cool, clear voice came from beside her. Ji Yi lay on the spot and turned her head to the side. The cat was buttoning her clothes with her back turned.

Why is the X-ray vision still probing? Haven't they already gained his trust?
Besides, how could I possibly use X-ray vision to do something so pointless?

I'm curious about what's under the arrow.

Thinking to himself, he thought to himself, 'God's vision.'

There was no response; it was indeed banned.

That data
Thinking about me? There's nothing under the arrow, literally.

?

That was right when I was using the armbar.
I touched my arm, roughly where the triceps muscle is.

It seems like I was kissed in this spot; it feels a little wet to the touch.
Sorry to interrupt your reminiscing. How about we check out the unusual activity in the lake first? Of course, I don't recommend jumping into the lake; it wouldn't be fun if the scene ended right at the beginning.

Ji Yi immediately got up and began to observe the surrounding environment.

This is a secluded, dense forest, quite far from the cabin. You could scream here all night without being discovered—I'm talking about screaming, of course.

"Hiss, he's really asking for trouble."

In horror movies, a character with this kind of setup would definitely be the first to die.

"Moreover, this staffing also gives me a bad feeling."

Five people, a dense forest, a small cabin.

All the horror elements are there, shouldn't the zombies be the next thing to appear?

Ji Yi continued to observe the surrounding environment.

A fog shrouded the air, seemingly imbued with some strange force, making it difficult to discern directions, especially preventing one from leaving the area around the lakeside hut.

"That's right, even if you have an invincible data eye, you can't get out. That's supernatural power, kid."

Having confirmed that there was no other information, Ji Yi walked towards the lake.

At this moment, Miss Cat had just finished tidying up her clothes.

Ji Yi's gaze unconsciously drifted towards the short skirt beneath her.

[The perfect-grade psychic pleated skirt, in addition to its original abilities, now possesses an anti-see-through effect. At least until "Ultimate Vision" evolves into "God's Vision," it will indeed be useful.]

The equipment was actually upgraded! Ji Yi thought Miss Cat was just saying it last time.

I don't think it's that bad; it's a complete waste of resources.

Especially when Ji Yi wants to look at it again next time, wouldn't it take a lot of mental energy?
No need, really no need.

The moonlight shone down, reflecting off the shimmering lake surface and illuminating two figures standing on the lakeshore.

Xie Jiayi glanced to her side and saw Ji Yi muttering to herself, shaking her head.

What is he doing? Is he reliving what he just saw?
I wanted to strangle him, but I had no excuse.

After all, this was the starting point of the game, and he hadn't done anything wrong.

I felt a chill beneath me. I should have known better than to do this when setting up my outfit in the game.

Forget it, let's focus on the dungeon first.

"Did you find anything?"

Xie Jiayi asked Ji Yi.

Ji Yi stared intently into the lake, as if he were drawn to something.

Xie Jiayi didn't disturb him. She looked around to make sure the surrounding environment was safe.

The moon, like a piece of cold jade, emitted a chilling light, and a gentle breeze stirred up ripples on the water.

A monster seemed to be groaning in the mist of the forest.

Xie Jiayi felt goosebumps all over her body.

Little White: "Sister, I'm cold."

Hugging his arms and instinctively squeezing his legs together, one can't help but feel a little resentful towards such a protagonist who starts off so recklessly.

There are people on the lake.

Ji Yi suddenly spoke, and Xie Jiayi immediately looked towards the lake upon hearing this.

But apart from the shimmering water nearby and the thick fog in the distance, no other figures could be seen.

"Where?" Xie Jiayi asked.

Ji Yi took her hand: "I have X-ray vision, of course you can't see it."

After saying that, Xie Jiayi felt a force on her hand and was pulled in a certain direction.

"perspective"

Xie Jiayi muttered to herself, saying nothing, and silently let Ji Yi pull her along as they stumbled through the dense forest.

Although there was no information at the beginning, and it was unknown what Ji Yi had discovered, I felt inexplicably at ease.

It seems that when I'm playing the Nightmare Dungeon with Ji Yi, I unconsciously start to rely on him.

This feels really bad.

then
Ouch! Why are you pinching me?

Ji Yi rubbed her arm. "Miss Cat really is a cat, isn't she?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Giba took me on a wild ride without saying a word. I thought you were going to assault me."

"."

Based on the armbar technique Miss Cat just demonstrated, he was confident that he might not be a match for her if he were locked in a panel lock situation.

"That place was dangerous just now. Guess what I saw?"

Ji Yi said with lingering fear, while following the guidance of the data eye, she walked the safe way home.

At this point, the AR real-scene projection capability becomes even more useful. Ji Yi is sure not to go astray and accidentally trigger any hidden, fatal plot.

Under normal circumstances, an average player would have to spend most of the night carefully exploring the area, and those with bad luck might not be able to return to their cabin until dawn.

But with the data eye, things are different.

It is expected that we will be able to return to the cabin safely in less than half an hour.

Due to the fog obstructing visibility, the Data Eye was effectively weakened, preventing Ji Yi from seeing detailed information further away.

But based on his judgment, the house would be a safe place.

Miss Cat replied, puzzled, "What did you see?"

Ji Yi swallowed hard. "I saw the two of us, or rather, people who looked exactly like us, waving at us from the middle of the lake." "And it seemed that if we didn't go over, they would rush ashore to find us."

Miss Cat turned around upon hearing this: "Are they chasing after us?"

Ji Yi shook her head: "There shouldn't be any. Just follow me. At least for now, I can detect and deal with these potential dangers in advance."

Just as he was about to pull Miss Cat along to continue walking forward.

But suddenly he felt the person in his hands become heavier.

Ji Yi turned her head and met Miss Cat's eyes.

"Can Mr. Giba's X-ray vision skill also be used in Nightmare dungeons?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Yi decided not to hide it from her:
"Yes, you can. But not directly see it; to be precise, you see the information."

The two of them have been quite open with each other, so telling Miss Cat isn't a big deal.

"Oh, so Mr. Giba had been spying all along, hadn't he?"

Buhou, wait for me here!
The moment Ji Yi lost control of her expression, she realized it was too late.

If Miss Cat finds out that she's seen all this flirtatious probing, wouldn't she kill herself?
Miss Cat: "."

Then Miss Cat fell silent.

"It's okay, let's go."

Surprisingly, Miss Cat didn't react strongly; she seemed to accept the situation calmly.

Ji Yi felt a chill run down her spine.

They quickly left with Miss Cat, about half an hour later.

"finally."

Looking at the campfire in front of him and the house in front of it, Ji Yi knew that he was safe for the night.

According to the normal process of the game, the two of them are very likely to be the victims of the first night.

Their safe passage through the first night meant they would have ample time to explore the instance.

A fairly smooth start.

Holding Miss Cat's hand, I stepped onto the wooden steps and knocked on the door:
“Open the door and bring warmth to the community.”

Before long, the door was opened, and Ji Yi saw a spirited woman with short hair.

"Not a bro? Changkong, you're a girl?"

Xiao Yichangkong was stunned for a moment: "I never said I was a man. By the way, how come you look just like Daniel Wu?"

Ji Yi chuckled: "Brother Changkong, you flatter me."

Xiao Yi Chang Kong touched his chest: "Is it very sensual? I think it's alright."

Ji Yi: "?"

I went inside with Miss Cat.

Ji Yi caught a glimpse of Zui Wan Gu Hong sitting on a single sofa, his face gloomy.

Chang Kong smiled and quickly, lightly tapped Ji Yi's chest:
"That's just how he is. He always has that deadpan look on his face when he's thinking. You'll get used to it. Don't worry about him for now."

"Ah."

Ji Yi looked around the cabin and found nothing suspicious.

"Where's the random player? I remember their name is..."

Ji Yi opened the panel.

"The name 'Fallen Leaves in the Misty Rain' sounds very similar to your style. Could you be someone from your official team?"

Chang Kong shook his head: "I've never heard of this person. And I haven't encountered him in any multiplayer competitive dungeons either."

Miss Cat also spoke up at this moment: "It's a bit strange. He's already level 21, which is in the top 30 of player levels, but I haven't seen him in the Magic Tower rankings."

Chang Kong nodded in agreement:

"That's absolutely right. Unless he never plays the Tower of Magic or any multiplayer arena, he's a real oddball."

If that's the case, then the person is probably either a master or an eccentric.

Perhaps it's both; it feels worth getting to know.

Just then, Zui Wan Gu Hong, who had been deep in thought, spoke up:

"Have you ever seen a movie called 'The Cabin in the Woods'? It's about three men and two women who come to a cabin in the middle of nowhere. In reality, they are sacrifices who need to be killed by monsters in the order of harlot, idiot, athlete, wise man, and virgin in order to appease the wrath of the ancient gods and save all mankind."

Ji Yi quickly chimed in:

“I’ve thought about it, but it’s obvious our personnel configuration doesn’t match. Of course, maybe in this instance, the identities of the five of us ‘sacrifices’ are different from those in the movie. But I’m more inclined to think it’s just a coincidence.”

Chang Kong disagreed: "No, it should match. Our opening CGs should correspond to our respective identities."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yi suddenly realized what was happening:

"That's right, so according to the CG, I'm an idiot and Miss Cat is a slut! Why am I being pinched like this?"

Miss Cat's face was filled with an inexplicable coldness, and she lowered her head.

Oh no, things weren't as bad as they seemed just now.
We can't afford to offend Miss Cat any more.

Immediately change the subject: "What about you two? What do you correspond to?"

Laughing, she leaned against the sky, her index finger touching her chin: "I should correspond to a virgin, right? Of course, I actually am one."

Despite having short hair and a dashing appearance, she was surprisingly lively, a perfect example of a sunny girl.

At this moment, Zuiwan Guhong also spoke:

"If it were me, I'd be set up as an athlete."

In other words, the remaining fallen leaves and misty rain represent the wise.

Now all the necessary elements are in place.

But in fact, this was not the direction that Ji Yi hoped the reasoning would take.

With his abilities, he certainly wouldn't treat the opening CG as an unimportant prelude, so how could he not know that the CG plot intentionally guides their respective identities?
In fact, the data has already provided the answer.

There are no signs of human intervention here, and the so-called ghosts are not manipulated by anyone behind the scenes. They have nothing to do with the sacrifice in the movie "The Cabin in the Woods".

Therefore, this is a misleading direction.

Of course, Ji Yi's possession of the Data Eye should not be revealed to anyone except Miss Cat.

So we could only let them continue their reasoning.

This is my current thought.

Drunkard, holding a lone goose, began to speculate, counting on his fingers:
"The first possibility is that our goal is to perform some kind of sacrificial ritual in sequence, that is, to make the players die one by one, and complete the predetermined procedure to immediately pass the game."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yi simply shook her head silently.

"Of course, that possibility is very small," Zuiwan Guhong added. "There are instances where the condition for clearing a dungeon is death, but that's not the case in most cases."

"The second possibility is that we need to survive by countering the sacrifice mechanic. In other words, we need to break the sacrifice process, prevent players from triggering the death conditions, and even find a place like the 'control room' in the movie to uncover the truth of the dungeon."

This time, Ji Yi didn't shake her head, but just pursed her lips.

"Let's forget about the third possibility."

Gu Hong suddenly interrupted.

"Further speculation is just conjecture, and without evidence, I won't interfere with everyone's line of thought."

"The information we can confirm at the moment is that it is very dangerous outside in the night fog, while it is safe inside the house."

Drunkard, Gu Hong stood up and looked out the window:
"I can sense something terrifying within the mist."

"According to the opening CG, the fog during the day is safe. Of course, I can't guarantee that things won't change tomorrow."

"In short, there shouldn't be any leads tonight, everyone can get some rest."

The voice just fell.

"Boom boom boom!"

A heavy knocking sounded at the door.

"Who?" Xiao Yichangkong asked.

There was no audio response.

"Boom boom boom!"

This time the knocking was even louder.

The entire room fell silent.

"Boom boom boom!"

The force of this knock was so strong it looked like they were going to smash the door open!
