Chapter 131: Puzzle Dungeon 3

The four people stopped joking around and looked at their respective panel, reading the mission requirement carefully.

The Live Stream Horror Survival Game would never show mercy to them and none of them wanted to try out the Live Stream Horror Survival Game’s bottom line.

"Hmm... NPC Duan Wang?" Huo Yingsu repeated and then looked at the empty village in front of her.

Where should they start to find this NPC?

The Live Stream Horror Survival Game would not give them mission that they could not accomplish, but it was also a fact that they hadn’t seen anyone yet.

"The mission is to investigate the river, so let’s try to head there first," Han Yichen said as he stood up.

The hot pot equipment was left behind since these things couldn’t be brought back when they go back to the Green Planet. There was no point packing it up into their space only to have it disappeared after they come back.

"Ok."

The four of them started walking into the village.

The barrier that previously stopped them from ever stepping into the village had completely disappeared. They could easily walk into the empty village and then walked forward.

The river was in the middle of the village, separating the village itself into two.

"No bridge around here." Ye Lin glanced around, trying to find something but there was nothing.

"Person?"

"Just one." Ye Lin pointed at one direction where they could see a man was busy digging a pit a distance away from the river.

Yu Zhihao looked at it and then started talking, "He might be NPC Duan Wang that the mission record told us. It’s said that Duan Wang can’t cross the river, which meant that he should want to go to the other side."

He glanced at the mission record and repeated the mission description. "According to the legends, the river ghost started after the death of Duan Wang’s best friend in the river. Duan Wang has been trapped on the other side of the river ever since then, hoping to cross the river but unable to do so."

"So our task would be to help Duan Wang cross the river?" Huo Yingsu glanced at the river beside them and felt that the Live Stream Horror Survival Game wouldn’t make it so easy for them to cross this river.

"Are there any other people on the other side of the river?" Han Yichen suddenly asked. ℴℴ𝘮

"Huh?" Ye Lin was stunned and then his eyes changed as he looked at the scene on the other side of the river. He was surprised that he sensed several people were in the village on the other side of the river.

"Yes, there are a few people there."

"So this river is dangerous," Huo Yingsu came to this conclusion when she heard Ye Lin’s words.

"Why?" Ye Lin was confused.

"Isn’t it obvious? You’re so stupid, Ye Lin! The Live Stream Horror Survival Game would not make such an easy puzzle dungeon for us to pass through in the first place and if one side of the village is empty and the other one is full of people, it’s obvious that there had to be a reason why they can’t go to the other side.

And it’s our task to solve the mystery of this matter... hmm, is this mystery related to ordinary reasons or it’s because of some supernatural ones. If it’s the supernatural ones, then it’s going to be difficult because two of us are only ordinary people and it’s impossible for us to... mph!"

Before Yu Zhihao could continue rambling, Han Yichen had already stopped him by stuffing a bread and said, "Let’s talk with Duan Wang first."

If they waited until Yu Zhihao finished speaking, it was estimated that they would have to stand here for at least an entire hour.

It would be quite suffocating.

"Mmph!" Yu Zhihao wanted to protest but seeing Ye Lin had already trotted over and Huo Yingsu herself was following behind Han Yichen, he could only swallow all of his grievances and sighed in his heart.

Well, it seemed that he had to listen to them.

At this time, the barrage was already filled with laughter.

...

[Ahahahah! Ye Lin and Han Yichen could no longer stand Yu Zhihao’s rambling]

[Who made him perfectly capable of rambling for an entire hour straight without stopping? If I have such a friend, I would have long bought ear muff to prevent them from polluting my ears]

[Bwahahahaha!]

[It’s really funny]

[But the puzzle from the Live Stream Horror Survival Game seems to be quite simple this time.]

[According to the legends, the river ghost started after the death of Duan Wang’s best friend in the river. Duan Wang has been trapped on the other side of the river ever since then, hoping to cross the river but unable to do so. - You mean this sentence above?]

[Yes, it’s like telling them that Duan Wang was related to his best friend’s death and all the four of them had to do was to investigate this matter]

[Will it be that easy, though?]

[How should I know?]

[The Live Stream Horror Survival Game didn’t give us any additional clues more than the players]

...

The barrage was discussing about this matter while the four of them have already reached Duan Wang’s side.

"Excuse me..."

"Waaaa!" Duan Wang was startled when he heard human voice and nearly jumped into the pit he dug. He turned around while trembling and saw four people standing not far from him, his expression turned into utter confusion.

How could there be anyone here?

The natives in the puzzle dungeon in the Live Stream Horror Survival Game usually didn’t know the game’s existence.

After all, this kind of puzzle dungeon could be repeated many times.

They were the true NPC in the Live Stream Horror Survival Game.

Other so called NPCs were still real world in different world that they encountered in a short period of time because of the game’s settings.
