Starting from Zero

My sudden turning back made the group of people who followed me nervously looked towards behind me. It was nothing to not look at it. When I turned around suddenly, everyone felt a sudden scalp numb. It turns out that we didn’t know when we followed up with a large group of ghosts. These guys all looked down and couldn’t see their facial features, but the parts of the skin that could be seen fully showed that these guys’ identities are definitely ghosts. , Because the human body is impossible in this color. In addition, the walking posture of these guys also has no trace of vitality, and it feels very stiff. Although it does not feel like zombie, it is definitely not a living person's movement.

As soon as we turned around, those guys stopped immediately, did not attack or move, just stood there like this. They don't whisper to each other like living people, but keep their heads down and stand there like wooden stakes without saying a word. At first, I wondered why I felt that these people would make people uncomfortable just by looking at them, but I soon discovered the reason for my uncomfortableness with my keen observation.

Living people, no matter how great they are, even those big soldiers of the national flag guard, standing there is absolutely impossible and completely motionless. Even when you are standing upright, as long as you are a living person, there is really no tremor at all. It's just that after long-term queue training, soldiers will be more stable than normal when standing in the military posture, but a slight swing is It is inevitable. This is the inevitable result of the movement of the chest and abdomen muscles when a person is not breathing. Even subjective consciousness is used to restrict it, but it can only reduce the amplitude of this shaking, but it cannot completely eliminate it. Of course, if you hold your breath, you can greatly reduce this tiny shaking. When shooting, snipers often choose the moment of breathing exchange, because at that time the human body is actually in a completely static state, similar to closed, but It is more comfortable and more stable than conscious holding of breath.

In short, as long as a living person stands there, it is inevitable that there will be very slight shaking, and it will not stay there forever. However, the ghosts in front of them are completely still. They don’t breathe, and they won’t move at all as long as they don’t walk. Although people’s subjective consciousness may not have noticed such details, their instincts have actually discovered this abnormality, so Only when I saw these guys at the first glance, I showed a very uncomfortable feeling.

Compared to my surprise, the group of people behind are completely frightened. These guys are all seeing the dead souls running ahead of me. Obviously they want to be protected by me, but the young man who takes the lead has a bit of conscience. They don’t forget to remind me at critical moments: "In this case, we are the first. I encountered it this time and it seemed abnormal. It may be related to your previous performance."

I actually know that this situation is mostly an abnormal reaction, because "Zero" is different from normal games. It has an intelligent core, which is the main system. The intelligence level of this main system has surpassed the category of human beings, and it is even more important to mention on equal terms than ordinary computers. Thanks to the help of this super intelligent core, any map or mission in "Zero" will not be immutable. According to the player's response and various probabilities, each person will have an interaction with the task itself during the task. If you perform too well in the task, the difficulty of the task will increase slightly. Of course, the system will not cheat you. Increasing the difficulty means that the reward will increase proportionally. Of course, if you are hoping to complete the task every time surrounded by perils, the difficulty of the task will be lowered accordingly. Of course, this is all fine-tuning, and the range will not be too great.

These players used to raid this village in a sneaky way, and the battle will only happen when it’s not working, but I’m almost flat push when I come here, which obviously affects the task evaluation, so the task is difficult. It is improving, and may have reached the limit range that the system can adjust. After all, the task system is impossible because you are very strong, so you can upgrade a B-Rank difficulty task to S-Rank.

"You go forward first, I will watch from behind. Be careful not to go too fast, go slowly." I reminded.

Those guys immediately began to move forward slowly after hearing what I said, and then I saw the dead souls behind also started to move forward, at the same speed as ours, always hanging on There is neither close nor farther.

After seeing the reaction of these guys, I didn't react much, because I didn't worry about these dead souls at all. The opponent is just an ordinary ghost, which may be a bit troublesome for ordinary players, but for me, it belongs to the kind of skill that can be used in seconds. So I don't care about the existence of these guys at all.

Although I said not to be too fast, the speed of those guys in front of them unconsciously started to get faster and faster. At first I didn’t care about it, but soon I found out that they already have a kind of It feels like a trot, and what's more terrible is that as their speed increases, the speed of the dead souls behind are also increasing, and the speed of upgrading is faster than ours, which means that the distance between the two sides is constantly shortening.

Originally, if it was just like this, it would be fine. Anyway, this street won't be too long. We should be able to see the open-door house in front soon, and then we can turn to other streets. I think these ghosts should all have a territory, and they may not rush around, so as long as they pass, they will be fine. However, because I am different from the guys in front of me, I am not nervous at all, so I can leisurely observe the surrounding situation. Soon I found out that we were in big trouble, and it was even more trouble than the others behind.

"Stop, stop me." I yelled and stopped the guys in front, while the ghosts in the back rushed forward a little after we stopped. The interception stopped. At this time, the ghosts in the front row were less than six meters away from me, and even the people with the shortest line of sight in the team could see these guys clearly.

Seeing the ghosts approaching to this extent, the people in front were very nervous and moved two steps there. As a result, when they moved, these ghosts immediately followed, and they moved two steps. Move three steps.

Finding that those people meant to run again, I could yell again: "Stop it all for me, whoever moves me will throw him into the middle of those guys."

Sure enough, it worked well this time, and everyone immediately settled there.

"Purple Moon, why did you tell us not to move?" The young man who led the team asked me about the situation.

I didn’t answer his question head-on, but first said: "Did you see the sign of the store on the side?"

The young man turned his head and looked at it. This is a A very ordinary shop specializes in selling cloth, and there is nothing special at all, so he has no idea why I want him to see that shop.

Seeing his inquiring gaze, I immediately continued: "We have passed in front of this cloth house three times."

"What?" This is not just the young man, Others also screamed, because if what I said is true, it means that we have been sealed in a closed space, and this space is likely to be that kind of circular space, if you don’t find a way to crack it , Even if you are exhausted inside, don't expect to get out.

"What's the situation now?" A little girl said out: "Purple Moon big brother, think of a way to help us out!"

"Just calm down if you want to go out. The ghosts have been approaching during your just run, but they did not approach us when I told you not to run slowly, which means that the faster you are, the faster they approach us, and vice versa. If you walk slowly, they will never catch up with you."

Everyone who heard me showed a sorry expression, and obviously they also realized that their previous behavior was quite embarrassing.

"Don’t worry, since those things won’t get close as long as we don’t run, it means that at least we are safe now. What we need to think about now is how to solve this endless loop problem."

"Hey." Someone over there suddenly shouted as I was talking: "That's not right! What about the two canine spirits you brought out, President Purple Moon?"

"Are you only discovering it now?" I said with some contempt: "They have discovered that this is not normal before, so they all jumped to the roofs on both sides to check the situation. You only found out now, I said you used to be yourself How did you survive when you came here?"

"There weren't so many strange phenomena back then!" Someone complained.

Having to say this is really hit the nail on the head, I'm not sure what to say at once. However, objectively speaking, the difficulty of this task is indeed caused by me, so they are correct in saying this. It is also because what they said is reasonable, so I don't know how to refute it. In fact, if they don't go with me, but go by themselves, they won't encounter so many troubles. They are totally exhausted by me this time. Of course, I don't really blame me for this situation, because I told them about this situation before they came in. They had to follow me, so I can't blame it.

"Don’t move, I’ll see the situation. Help me protect him." I tone barely fell and the young man wanted to agree. Who knew that the king suddenly appeared in front of him and took the lead One-step answer complied. The guy touched his nose awkwardly, and then realized that I didn't tell him. But think about it, they saw that these ghosts’ legs were weak, and to let them protect the czar is to let a group of sheep protect a little white rabbit in front of the wolves. This is exactly the rhythm of delivering food!

After the king appeared, he directly let the czar stand beside him, and a few seconds later, Sha Yezi also appeared on the other side of the czar. The guy's eyes lit up immediately after seeing Sha Yezi, but I promptly reminded: "Hey, the couple are here, don't talk nonsense if you don't want to die."

The czar immediately heard it. After reacting, I looked at the king on the other side and immediately became honest, but the guy on the other side twisted and said sorry: "Um, we actually..."

"Okay, I understand The girl didn’t even excuse me. Why are you so anxious?"

The king was completely choked by a word of mine. Originally, this guy was not the type that could talk about words as a hero. Since I am his master, he is not easy to contradict me, not to mention this kind of joke, most people don't know how to refute it.

I didn't stop even after making a joke, turned around and moved towards the dead souls behind and walked over. These guys are only five or six meters away from us, and I walked over in a few steps. Unlike the hungry ghosts who bite at the sight of people before, these dead souls didn't react at all to my approach, and stopped there like this and didn't react at all.

I walked to the front of the dead soul. This is a youngster who looks more than 20 years old, with short hair and a padded jacket. It looks like a peasant's standard dress. However, it can be seen after getting closer. This guy's hands are tightly closed with five fingers, and they hang straight on both sides of the body, without a trace of shaking. This is the abnormality of these guys that I found before. In addition, the complexion of this guy is extremely pale, and with azure, it is obviously not the color of a living person.

After taking a rough look, I took a step forward, standing in front of this guy almost face to face, and then I started showing my super strong gallbladder again. He stretched out a finger and pressed it on the forehead of the dead soul in front of him, then pushed his head up, and finally saw his face.

I have to say that this guy is still full of integrity, but the rustic is not so handsome. Of course, according to the ancient aesthetics, this kind of appearance should be considered very competitive in the countryside. NS. Of course, this guy's appearance can definitely scare a girl to death, because this guy is not only complexion pale, but also has dark circles under his eyes. What's more important is that his eyes are not white, they are completely black. In addition, this guy's face has a very serious blue qi, which is obviously not a normal type of death.

I quickly found another scary place on this guy's forehead, and that was his neck.

"I'm sorry, let me borrow it." As I said, I changed it to hold both sides of this guy's head with both hands, and then lifted it up slightly. The head was immediately separated from the body and was taken directly by me. Down. I'm fine, but the group of people behind are shivering and pointing at me, and they almost didn't get angry.

Because my back was facing there, I didn't see the reaction of those people either. Turning the head in his hand with the backhand, he looked at the broken neck of this guy. It was very neat and the cross-section was very flat. It was obviously a cut injury caused by a sharp object. Obviously, this guy was beheaded to death. His head and body are simply two segments, but they were placed there before, and they can be pulled off with a hard effort. But I wonder why this guy is not offensive.

It is said that if this kind of ghost is not reborn, it will probably be a very difficult to deal with ghost. After all, it is a ghost of beheading, not a normal death. But the strange thing is that this guy just followed us and didn't attack us. Although he might not attack us when he caught up with us later, at least he didn't react at all now.

Thinking about it for a while, I put the guy's head back again, and the wound on the neck healed automatically the moment I touched it. Of course, only the surface is healed. This guy is a dead soul and not a corpse. The wound on his neck is the memory of the dead soul. It is not a real wound. After all, the dead soul is an energy body, just like water, and there is no problem of cutting off.

After putting down this guy's head, I pushed him aside and walked to a female ghost behind him. This female ghost is dressed in a white filial dress, with long hair draped in front of her, dressed as Sadako's elder sister. Of course, I wouldn't be afraid of such female ghosts. After all, when it comes to fierce ghosts, the one standing next to the czar is the real fierce ghost. Sha Yezi was originally the top item among wraith. The lethality of Dalian I was in a hurry at the time. This kind of ghost and Sha Yezi had no comparability in front of me.

After walking in front of this female ghost, I still reached out without the slightest hesitation and brushed away the other's long hair, and then looked at her face. This water ghost is much more beautiful than the previous water ghost, at least he still has half of his face. Yes, it's just half a face. Although the left half of the female ghost in front of me is very pale, it is actually a beautiful woman. If you block the right half and don’t look at it, this is at least a civilian-level beautiful woman, but if you add the other side, it’s fine. It's scary to go out directly.

This is not to say that the right face of this person is not beautiful, the key is-the right half of the face is gone. This person’s face seemed to have been operated on. Following the middle line all the way down, the meat on the right half of the face almost rotted away, and only some red minced meat was stuck on the bones. It's scary to be without meat at all, and the eyeball on her right completely fell out of the eye socket because it lost the control of the muscle group, and it was half hung outside, looking scary and scary.

"Damn, how did you die? How did it happen? Did you meet a perverted doctor?"

Although I don’t know exactly how this person died, But this is definitely not a normal death, so I can be sure that it is just a wraith, and the level is not too low, but this female ghost, like the previous ones, is also standing still, just standing there.

"What the hell is this?" I left the female ghost, and then checked the surrounding ghosts one after another. I can confirm that these are not normal dead people, because most of them are not old people. Basically, they are youngsters or middle age persons, and there are many children. These ages are impossible to die, so it can only be accidental death, or at least the death of illness.

In addition to the wrong age, these ghosts almost have traumas. This is why I confirm that they are not the cause of normal death, and if this kind of ghost village is a normal death, ghosts should not appear here. . Obviously, this kind of place is a place for those who have not gone to reincarnation and so on. Normal ghosts will not appear here.

Checked the cause of death of these ghosts, and roughly calculated the number. The number of ghosts here is far beyond my expectation. I thought it was only the part that I could see before, but I soon discovered that it was not the case. The number of these ghosts is at least two thousand, and the densely packed number is very large, far exceeding my expectations.

After checking the quantity, I was about to go back. Suddenly I saw a ghost in front of me and seemed to sway. If it is an ordinary person, I would ignore the past, but I am not an ordinary person. Part of Dragon Clan's brain is an electronic brain, and all hallucinations, this thing impossible, appeared in my mind. I can see illusions in the game because of the visual signal input that is digitized. It is not my own hallucinations. There is absolutely no hallucination this thing in Dragon Clan. So, I'm sure that some guy actually moved a bit just now, but because my focus is not there, only a little bit of it from the outside, so I can only determine the approximate location, and can't confirm which guy moved.

Although I am not completely sure what is going on, I still squeezed in. The ghosts here are too dense, just like the train station during the Spring Festival travel season, and when they shuttle among these guys, they have to squeeze through. Moving to the front of those ghosts with great difficulty, I took a look at it roughly. There are about seven or eight ghosts in the suspicious range, but there may be only three targets, because the other ones are either gender or child. Only three targets fit my intuitive impression.

After confirming these guys, I immediately moved towards the one closest to me among the three guys and walked over.

This is a tall ghost, a lot taller than me anyway. After approaching, I quickly checked this guy and confirmed that it was no different from other ghosts, and that this guy’s wound was in the heart. No, his whole heart was gone. Instead, there was a big hole with the front leading to the back. It's directly translucent.

I felt there was no problem with this, so I walked to the second target and took a look. This is also a seemingly ordinary ghost, there is nothing special about it, but it tastes a little strange. I searched for this guy and found no wounds, but because there were no other abnormalities, I walked over to the next target.

In the end, the height of this ghost is slightly shorter than mine. The stretched clothes are normal, and the ghost feels normal. I searched for this guy, and finally I found a big hole in the back of his head. The inside of his head was completely empty. It felt like someone had opened a hole the size of a ping-pong ball in the back of his head, and then Everything inside has been taken away.

After checking this guy, I started to wonder again. The three goals seemed normal, and I didn't find anything wrong, but I was sure that there was no possibility of hallucinations. The question is, why can't I find the moving ghost?

I looked at the ghosts in front of me again. I even expanded the scope to include the female ghosts and small children that I had previously excluded, but I didn’t think there was any problem after watching for a long time. Finally, my gaze glanced at one of the beautiful female ghosts. This one should have been very clean during his lifetime, and he was the kind of dress-up who actually put on makeup when he died. I guess he must have carried it everywhere during his lifetime. A fragrant breeze.

Wait, Xiangfeng? Divine light flashed suddenly in my mind. When I checked one of the ghosts just now, it seemed to smell some strange smell.

Smell? Does Spirit Physique smell?
