Chapter 6: This is definitely a bug

"No matter how terrifying, this is still an online game. As long as there are many of us..." Li Yong didn't care at all about whether it was terrifying or not; it was just a game, after all.

In the game world, he had cut off the heads of at least one hundred thousand zombies and had worn a bride's wedding dress at least one hundred times. As long as he had his group of good brothers with him, even a horror game was quite hilarious, wasn't it?

Then he stopped in his tracks.

Bypassing a few thatched huts, several female serfs not far away were praying around a gallows.

They were wearing rags and tatters, kneeling before the gallows, their eyes filled with an obsessive look.

Placed in front of the gallows were three small baskets, plus two children who were already two or three years old.

The children were in a state of sleep; it was impossible to tell if they were still alive.

"... We ask the god to grant us freedom, to grant us endless wheat, to grant us bodies that never fall ill... We sacrifice our flesh and blood to let them follow your footsteps..."

"... May they look down upon the earth with you, may your breath walk upon the ground, and may they be liberated from the soil..."

If it were just a Ritual, that wouldn't count as terrifying.

What made Li Yong feel terrified was the moonlight in the sky, which was gradually dimming.

The moonlight, which hadn't been very bright to begin with, turned into a dull red. Following the cawing of a few crows, Li Yong's arms were gripped tightly by the two girls, and he couldn't move at all.

I have to say, this game is actually quite realistic in places where it shouldn't be.

It hurts so much; the two girls are actually pinching my arms with their hands...

If he didn't know they were also scared, Li Yong definitely would have screamed out loud.

"It's a miracle!"

"The miracle is here!"

"Stupid man, you don't know what a miracle is at all!"

Mengmeng pinched Li Yong's arm in fear, as if this could bring her some courage, and she said tremblingly: "Those children, they aren't already dead, are they?"

"They aren't waking up despite such a commotion; even if they aren't dead, they've likely been drugged." Li Yong swallowed his saliva. "It could also be that the game plot wasn't done well. This is a game, a game!"

"I know it's a game, but I'm scared!" Mengmeng also gripped Li Yong's arm tightly and said, shivering, "According to the game plot, something should have appeared by now."

It seems this girl hasn't played few horror-type games in her spare time.

Looking at the rest of this plot, no matter how you look at it, something even more terrifying is going to happen.

Sure enough, the sound of children wailing suddenly appeared from the few baskets placed in front of them.

Even the two older children who were lying down just opened their mouths and followed along with loud wails.

None of the children opened their eyes, and none of them moved around.

The eyes of the few praying women began to shed bloody tears. They started kowtowing mechanically, and in the entire environment, only the sound of the children's crying remained.

Li Yong and the two girls, who were watching from the side, also knelt down just like those women, and bloody tears flowed from their eyes.

Pain—the pain caused Li Yong to disconnect immediately.

WTF!

This was his first time experiencing having a girl on each arm in his life, and it had to be in this kind of environment.

Still remembering when he finally exited the game, the two girls were holding onto him for dear life, and that crying... those blood-red tears were really too terrifying.

Besides, that feeling of a headache—he hesitated for a moment and picked up the Helmet again, but when he put it back on, he couldn't get into the game.

BUG, this is definitely a BUG.

Where have you ever seen someone get disconnected while watching a cutscene?

Besides, couldn't the pain be lowered a bit? There was no need to be that realistic!

He opened his phone in a fit of rage and started complaining to his good brother.

"I hadn't even had the chance to ask the girls for their contact information before it glitched and disconnected. What's the situation on your end?"

Li You sent a crying emoji. "Don't even mention it. We were kicked offline more than half an hour ago. We disconnected right after triggering the plot."

"Looks like we encountered the same bug. What plot did you have on your end?"

"After we got inside the castle, we found the Administrator's room. After being discovered by the Administrator, we got into a fight with the guards, and then... then we disconnected."

This... I'm afraid that's not even as good as the plot I saw.

"Are you sure you triggered the plot?" Li Yong asked.

"Never mind us, what about you? What's the situation on your end?" Ignoring the other person's question, Li You asked straight to the point.

Li Yong weighed his words and then said: "After we arrived at the Nongzhuang, we saw a group of women dressed in rags sacrificing children, then they all went crazy, and we were also uncontrollably forced to kneel down."

"Damn, it's that intense? And then?" Li You asked.

"What else is there to say? Then we glitched and disconnected, and now we can't even log in."

Li You was silent for three minutes before saying: "At least this game is truly epoch-making. I remember there was a forum; let's see how others are doing."

At this time, some posts had already appeared on the forum.

Luolita, who had gone offline the earliest, had already started posting her opinions and suggestions on the forum.

【There are just too many bugs in this game!】 —by: Luolita

Played this game today; Ai Ai really didn't lie to me. The game is a good game, and it's really realistic and fun—an epoch-making game!

However, there are too many problems with this game. I hope the programmers fix it soon!

Friendly reminder: The game has no quest prompts; you need to follow your gut the whole way.

The experience after going online was indeed very realistic; you could say this is definitely an epoch-making game, it's just that you can clearly feel there are many problems.

Besides the game having no quest prompts, the various attributes of the characters also have no reference, and we don't even know the levels of the NPCs. We rashly participated in a battle with NPCs, and the other side wiped us out in just a few dozen seconds! The most hateful thing is that I disconnected after the plot finished, and I still can't connect even now!

Also, after testing for three hours, the game plot hasn't advanced much at all, mainly because most of the time was wasted on traveling. For example, it took us more than an hour to run from the city to the Nongzhuang outside the city; running across the map is really too time-consuming!

However, you can see the scenery along the way during the map-running process; it's indeed all different. A completely open world—you can even smell scents here, and the tactile sensations are also very realistic. The most realistic thing is probably the pain; I've never felt such pain in my life!

If girls want to play, they still need to have some courage. Characters don't breathe after going offline, which is quite scary, like a dead person. One of our teammates went offline because they were too scared.

Because it was night the entire time we entered the game, we didn't see the daytime, so the whole scene was a black, terrifying scene. I suggest everyone travel in groups...
