Chapter 404: That Morbid and Paranoid Game Development Character (43)
【A bunch of animals are gathering for a meeting. 】
[They were terrified.]
[The leading male tiger started to speak, and used the soothing skill. ]
[The appeasement was a great success! The animals are full of fighting spirit! ]
[What are they looking for? Shhh...]
【Don't get discovered.】
A series of system prompts appeared before the previous one disappeared. The perspective on the screen was divided into two. On one side, a cat on a simple tree was looking at the densely packed animals below.
On the other side is a tiger with a yellow exclamation mark on his head. Facing the animals' passionate speeches, although it is impossible to tell what they are saying, it is foreseeable from the animated spitting of saliva.
——How exciting it is.
Bai Yichen seemed to hear the tone of the other party's rough and angry roar. Yes, it was a roar.
The sight moved to the several pieces of monkey corpses surrounded by a group of animals. The two eyes turned into 'x's', and the tongue was sticking out, representing only a funny bit of red blood.
——Anyone who has his men killed will be angry.
If he appeared in front of the tiger, he might be torn to pieces by the rampaging animals, Bai Yichen touched his chin and thought seriously.
But there's nothing I can do about it, it's just too much fun.
Starry Night does a good job in this regard, and some of the bloody scenes have been animated, making it look like a filter has been added, but the censored stuff will not appear.
Of course, cultivation games are mainly about beauty and healing. If it has a realistic style, it will be another matter whether it passes the review or not. Even if it passes the review and is put on the shelves, players will not accept it.
The premise is to exclude those people with special tastes.
So, when the little black cat pointed its claws at an animal and the words "Please help me, Achen" appeared on the bubble, Bai Yichen rubbed his hands and waited.
Passionate and rapid music played, and an interface of an ancient game similar to peeling fruit popped up, with an animal avatar designated to be eliminated on it.
After the countdown of three, two, one, the mini animal at the bottom of the screen was thrown up by an invisible hand and fell in a parabola. All Bai Yichen had to do was to run his finger across the animal's body.
The black blade special effect flashed, and the designated animal broke into two pieces and fell down, disappearing, with a few drops of watermelon juice-like liquid splashing out.
As the countdown decreased, the animals were thrown out faster and faster, and from time to time there would be non-designated animals to confuse the audience. Bai Yichen reacted very quickly and did not miss a single one.
【Perfect combo! 】
【Great success! 】
The golden font flashed twice along with the cheers. Bai Yichen snorted and raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.
"It's simple and easy."
The animals' silent quarrel ended, the picture remained still, their eyeballs flew out of their sockets, their mouths were so big that one could see their throats, an exaggerated expression of shock.
The designated animal that had been chopped off was lying on the ground at a distance, its lower body facing the sky, and one of its legs occasionally bouncing twice.
The imposing leading tiger took two steps back and remained silent for a long time.
"..."
Quiet, nothing but quiet.
When people see things they cannot understand, their overloaded brains make them unable to think, and their expressions become blank and dazed, as if they have forgotten who they are.
Someone's legs went weak and he fell to his knees. The gang members who were awakened back to the real world did not laugh at him, because their performance at this moment was not much better.
The previous scene of people holding weapons and talking in unison to teach the killer a lesson seemed to have never happened, and everyone has become amnesiacs.
"Help, boss..." After saying this, Liu Laoer realized that his voice was shaking. When Long Hai's stiff gaze fell on his face, he forced himself to cheer up.
"This, this... did you see clearly who did it?" The mouth that always spoke one way to one person and another way to another became unlike him.
When he was young, Long Hai had fought and killed people. He killed more than two dozen people with a brick, a stick, or later with a single shot. He had even seen rotten, smelly, maggoty corpses.
But the scene before him was beyond his comprehension.
He had also seen the methods used by those who held human lives in their hands, either by simply stabbing someone with a knife or by using someone else's knife to kill someone, but in either case, there should not be no trace left at all!
Yes, not a trace at all.
"Who are the people closest to him? Tell me what you found." Long Hai looked very calm. Long Ming, who was hiding behind him, looked down and saw his father's hands with white joints.
His face was pale, and he deeply regretted why he came to join in the fun. He didn't watch Long Fei's fun for long, but was frightened to the point of panic and weak legs. If he hadn't held the mentality that he couldn't show weakness since Long Fei didn't lose his composure, he would have hidden in the house long ago.
"I, I didn't see anything, I just suddenly felt something hit me, and when I turned around, I found that he had already -"
The back of the person who was speaking was mostly soaked with blood, and his bloodshot eyes looked scary no matter how you looked at him under the light.
With the first person speaking, the others also calmed down.
"I was facing him directly at the time, and in the blink of an eye, something black flashed by, and then Goudan broke into two pieces!"
"Hiss, now that you mention it, I think I saw it too! The black thing looks like a dagger!"
"No, it's not a dagger. What I saw was a knife! Besides, how could a dagger cut a person off... "
He really didn't dare to say those two words.
Long Hai closed his eyes and spoke slowly, "So, none of you saw the killer's appearance?"
"..."
Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.
"It's just a trick." Meeting Long Hai's gaze, Long Fei raised his eyes and said firmly, "There are countless ways to make a person die quietly. We can't understand it, but we can't judge it as a ghost."
No one expected Long Fei to say this.
Long Hai's eyes narrowed. "You mean, someone is playing tricks?"
"Yes."
Long Fei nodded, "The killer must be hiding among you!"
His words made the gang members panic, and they all kept a distance of five steps from the people around them.
Normally, Long Hai would not allow such a disturbing statement, but he squinted his eyes and scanned the crowd, as if observing who was the killer.
He knew even more clearly that the fact that the Dragon Tiger Gang was haunted by ghosts must never be spread. Once the rumor spread, who would dare to join the Dragon Tiger Gang and work for him?
So, he would rather the killer was really hiding in the crowd!
Long Hai's eyes startled the gang members.
Is the killer really among them!?
It must be! It only took a few minutes from Goudan's death to his discovery. The killer must have made a lot of noise when he escaped. This is the only explanation!
For a moment, the faces around seemed to be covered in a layer of blood. Everyone was on guard against each other, and no one dared to believe anything, for fear that they would be the next one to be chopped in half.
They want to leave but can't, because the gang leader and the two young masters are here. If they dare to escape, the gang leader will kill them first without waiting for the assassins to take action!
"what--"
With a cry of surprise, another body broken into two pieces appeared!
The first person who discovered it was too close, so his face was covered in blood, half of his body was bright red, and the smell of rust was so strong that it was pungent.
the second.
No one knows how many people will die today. The invisible butcher's knife hangs over everyone's head, teetering on the edge of collapse. No one wants to be the next person to be beheaded.
Fragments of intestines and internal organs were mixed with dirt and dust, and there were bursts of retching sounds.
"I, I want to go home..."
"I don't want to die here, I don't want to die--"
They gradually began to feel like giving up. If they were excited about catching the killer at the beginning, now they just wanted to go back home, lock the doors and windows, and not go out for days and nights!
"Quiet!"
Long Hai's eyes were heavy. He thought that as the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, he had never felt so aggrieved as today. The killer killed two people right under his nose, and he didn't even see a single shadow of him!
What a shame!
"Do you think you can escape now? The killer dared to act under the eyes of so many people. He hoped that you would be alone at home so that it would be easier for him to kill you!"
"Besides, I'm right here. Why didn't he attack me, the gang leader? Obviously one of you has offended him, and he's here to seek revenge!"
Pointing at the corpse on the ground, Long Hai spoke righteously.
He had to make up stories as soon as he opened his mouth. Anyway, he couldn't hide what happened tonight, so he could only minimize the impact.
"You are free to leave. I, Long Hai, am not an unkind person and will never stop you. But at the same time, once you walk out of this gate, you will no longer be protected by the Dragon and Tiger Gang. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me!"
Long Hai waved his hand and let them make their own decision. He was also taking a gamble that these people would not dare to joke with their lives.
Once these frank words were spoken, quite a few people hesitated, but no one wanted to be the first to speak out.
Until one timid guy couldn't stand the pressure of expectation anymore and started to move away with his brain in a chaos. He thought his movements were covert, but actually many eyes were secretly staring at him.
Long Hai also looked solemn.
If this man died, he wouldn't have to worry about the disbanding of the Dragon and Tiger Gang. If this man was fine... he would have a headache.
Sitting on the tree, Mo You, who was seeing everyone's actions, easily guessed Long Hai's thoughts. He looked at the person who stepped out of the gate of the stronghold and sighed softly.
"It's your bad luck."
He really didn't want the game to end so soon.
At least tonight, none of you can take a step outside of here.
"please."
Darkness and shadows are places that the monster can reach in the blink of an eye. The hand that had just killed two people was held by Mo You. Before this action, the monster murmured.
[…Who’s next? ]
Mo You only felt that the monster was particularly excited today. Every time it killed a person, its mood would become more joyful. The shape of its hands quickly changed between human and claws, and it did not hide its good mood at all.
Looking at the corpse lying on the ground in the distance, Mo You understood that as a monster, it always has instinctive habits. Although he didn't know the type of monster, he thought that the smell of blood would make the monster feel better.
That being the case...
Mo You, who thought it was time to call it a day, pointed at someone. A dark color flashed, and another horrible corpse appeared on the ground.
There was a smile in Mo You's eyes.
Well, for the good mood of the monsters, please make a small sacrifice.
"..."
The leg of the first bird to step out broke without warning, followed by its arms and head. Its death was even more horrifying than the previous ones.
This time everyone saw it clearly.
Black claws came from nowhere and scratched the man with a few strokes, easily dismembering him.
The voice almost came out of his throat, hysterical and collapsed.
“——It’s a monster! It’s a monster!!!”
He didn't need to shout, everyone present who was not blind could see it. The horrifying scene hit their brains again and again, making their eyes bloodshot.
But their legs seemed to be rooted in place and they dared not move an step. No one dared to make any big movements for fear of attracting the attention of the angry monster - judging from the miserable state of the corpses, they thought the monster was enraged.
