Chapter 4 Blahir
The game background is a gray sea, with thick fog shrouded on the sea. For some reason, Jiang Li always felt that something strange was hidden behind the layers of fog.
Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that there would be such a pretentious game advertisement now.
Logically speaking, the promotion of this kind of spicy chicken web game is not something that can be cultivated to swallow the giant Kun, it just clicks to play for a year, and the equipment does not cost a penny. After clicking, the screen is full of colorful five-cent special effects...
"It's really so pure and unpretentious that you've successfully attracted my attention." Jiang Li suddenly became interested. He wanted to see if this game is different from those charming sluts outside.
With a curious attitude and always disdainful of playing web games, he clicked on the advertising pop-up window in the lower right corner.
The screen instantly turned into black, and then four pale and slender fonts slowly appeared on the screen like dizzy ink.
【Death Stranding】
"Hmm? Is it a horror game?" Jiang Li suddenly felt energetic and straightened his back to the screen.
What surprised him was that this game did not have any CG opening animations, nor any simple plots or character introductions. After the game started, it jumped directly to the interface of character creation.
The original character in the picture has a simple white T-shirt on the upper body and a pair of jeans on the lower body. From the background, the character is standing on a black beach, and behind him is a foggy sea surface and a dead sky.
The entire game interface is extremely quiet. Except for the occasional sound of wind mixed with sea water slamming the shore, the game is silent and looks lifeless.
Although there is no background music, the game's pictures are extremely delicate and the atmosphere of desperate situations is also very good.
"Is it a deserted island similar to Battle Royale? Or is it a world like Silent Hill?" Judging from the game background, Jiang Li is sure that this game should be played on the island.
"Forget it, build a character first!" According to his preferences, Jiang Li quickly built a model he liked. He didn't play many similar games, so in less than ten minutes, Jiang Li formed a character that he was quite satisfied with.
As for the game ID, he typed the word "Jiang Fengmian" on the keyboard without hesitation.
This is also his name. His name is Fengmian, and his grandfather named him. Although society is no longer as particular as before, the old man still attaches great importance to naming.
Jiang Li himself likes the wind and sleeps with the wind. He also likes Zhuangzi to protect his void from the air and pursues artistic freedom and romance.
[The test is completed and the nickname "Jiang Fengmian" can be used. Please confirm your choice. Should you play with this character?]
Jiang Li clicked "Confirm".
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the phone next to the mouse rang. The caller ID was his mother.
"Hey, mom--"
As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, he suddenly felt dizzy and his eyes turned dark.
Immediately afterwards, he watched with his own eyes the phone in his hand slowly disappear and the surrounding rooms also disappeared. He looked at the endless ocean in front of him in disbelief, and his whole body fell into a state of dullness.
"Bang"
Jiang Li slapped himself twice in the face with his backhand.
The scorching pain on his face told him that he was not dreaming.
He trembled and stretched out his hand, looked at the strange fabric on his body, and shivered and touched his face and body...
"ah!!!!"
He let out a scream that was extremely sharp, even more tragic than slaughtering a pig.
"How could this happen? I must be crazy... I'm dreaming..." He paced back and forth on the beach anxiously, raised his hand and slapped himself again.
"Grass, I was really pulled into the main god space!" Jiang Li squatted on the shore, looking at his reflection in the sea, and slowly accepted this reality. He lived for 24 years and was beaten to death but he didn't expect that the plot he had seen in the novel before would appear on himself one day.
Just when Jiang Li was confused, a figure appeared faintly in the thick fog in the distance.
Through the layers of thick fog, Jiang Li saw a strange man, rowing a small boat and slowly leaning towards the shore where he was.
The reason why that person was said to be strange was that Jiang Li found that he could not see the face of the person under the black fog.
The boat slowly leaned against the shore, and the rower was wearing a strange black cloak. If he was holding not the oars in his hand at this moment, but the silver sickle, Jiang Li would have thought that this was the god of death without hesitation.
"Did you... let me get on the boat?" he asked tentatively.
The man in black stood motionless on the boat. Although he could not see the other person's face clearly, Jiang Li was sure that under the cloak covered by the black shadow, there must be a pair of cold eyes staring at him.
He thought about it and had been brought here and had no way to escape. He might as well get on the ship and see where the other party was going to take him.
After Jiang Li boarded the small wooden boat, the man in black slowly rowed the oars and took him away from the shore.
The sea water is extremely calm at this moment. The most terrifying thing is that unlike the general color of the sea, the water here is gray, the same color as the sky above the head, and looks very turbid.
He lay on the side of the boat and turned his face over. Looking at his face reflected in the water, he closed his eyes in pain - he couldn't bear to look directly at it.
Just as Jiang Li sighed for a long time, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a black shadow under the water, swimming past the hull at an extremely fast speed.
The figure of the shadow looks similar to that of an adult human, but if it were a normal human, how could it swim so fast?!
No, more than one!
Soon he discovered that there were three or four identical black shadows lurking around the hull. Through the water surface, he could vaguely see the appearance of the black shadow.
Their bodies are dark green on their surfaces, with high ridges with scales on their backs. Their bodies have vague features of humans, but their heads are fish, with never-closed, huge, and protruding eyeballs. On both sides of their necks, there are gills that constantly tremble, and webbed on their long hands and feet.
What is underwater is actually a human with a fish head?!
What kind of monsters are these?!
Cold sweat slowly slid down Jiang Li's forehead.
"Young man, don't touch the sea water here."
At the same time, an old voice came from behind. The sound was obscure and hoarse, and it sounded like the Gobi mixed with sandy wind, stimulating people's eardrums.
"There are monsters under the water!"
He raised his head and said to the strange old man in front of him in horror, "Old man, where is this?"
"It'll be here soon." The old man pointed ahead.
The fog gradually dissipated, and Jiang Li discovered that there was a bare island not far away, standing quietly on the sea. The island looked very barren, and there was no green around it except the black rocks.
Jiang Li suspected that there was no sign of life on this island where there was no plant.
He also found that the black shadows under the water did not seem to attack them, but were just cruising around the boat, as if warning the people on the boat not to jump off the boat easily.
"Welcome to Brahil, young man." The old man in black said to himself: "This is a surreal space and another dimension above the real world. Only a very small number of lucky people will be selected by it, enter here, and embark on a series of thrilling and exciting adventures."
"Lucky?" Jiang Li was almost unable to stand firm: "Is he an unlucky guy?"
The mysterious old man ignored his words and continued: "Here, you must participate in the dungeon game at least once every month, and after completing each game, you will get corresponding points. Points can be used to purchase props and exchange for quite generous rewards. When the accumulated points reach 10,000, you can completely leave Brahil and return to reality."
"What if I don't participate in the game?" Jiang Li asked carefully.
"Players who refuse to participate in the game will be wiped out by Brahil, in other words, death." The old man's words were almost the same as he had expected. Jiang Li had accepted the current situation. He cleared his throat and continued to ask: "What kind of games are the dungeons you just mentioned?"
"Dear player Jiang Fengmian, I wish you good luck." The old man in black did not answer his question. The ship had already docked and his mission had been completed.
Jiang Li guessed that this old man was probably just an NPC set up in the game. He would only explain some simple background to the players. It would be impossible to ask him what information he had.
Since that's the case, he doesn't want to waste time.
Looking at the deadly island in front of him, he sighed and walked off the boat.
Brahil should refer to the island in front of him, or the name of this main god space.
