Chapter 251

The sudden appearance of the Joker was a horrifying sight. Not only was his face painted with colorful paint, but his body was decorated with sticky blood instead of red paint. Even the red balloons and the unknown stains on the balloons looked out of place in this fairytale-like world.

There was no doubt that he was also an NPC.

The players looked at each other, hesitating whether they should go up and ask for information. But after seeing the Joker's outfit, most of them could not move. Instead, they chased after the rabbit NPC who was bouncing into the Black Forest.

The exorcists looked at each other and saw the willingness to take a risk in each other's eyes. Before they could finish making eye contact, Fan Zhuo, who did not participate in eye contact at all, stepped forward and walked toward the Joker.

Sure enough, everyone had the same idea.

The others did not hesitate and chose to approach the Joker, who seemed to be in a good mood, to talk to him.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, are you looking for me? Normally, the Lonely Clown would be more than happy to offer his help, as he was rarely bothered by anyone. But the Joker is busy now. He has to go to the Black King's castle to hold a stage for a special performance. "

The Joker kicked the ground. "My old friend Mad Hatter and my best friend are still waiting for me. I can't be too late."

There was too much information in this sentence, but overall, the Joker sounded quite friendly.

"Oh … Wait."

Just as the Joker was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly looked at the people in front of him and made a strange sound. "So it's you. I remember you."

What did that mean? Did he mean that he knew them?

The team was a little confused because everyone was sure that they did not know the Joker in front of them.

"Go forward. As long as you pass through the Black Forest, you will reach the castle."

The Joker kindly gave each of them a balloon. "Of course, the forest at night is always full of danger. Maybe you will see some old friends in there?"

"Hurry up, you're the only guests left for the wedding."

After saying that, the clown did not stay any longer. Instead, he danced a strange dance that he and the Mad Hatter had choreographed together and skipped toward the Dark Forest, leaving the seven players who did not know what was going on and were still holding onto the balloon rope.

"Get ready to move."

Fan Zhuo glanced at the castle in the distance.

It was a little strange.

Before the sun had set, he instinctively felt very uncomfortable when the sunlight shone on his body.

But now, the sun was setting and the earth was plunged into darkness. Instead, he felt that this pitch-black environment was relaxing all the pores on his body, making him feel unbelievably comfortable. Even though there was no light in this patch of grass and forest, Fan Zhuo could easily see the appearance of the dark world in the distance.

Tokumon looked around and saw this scene. He exclaimed, "Wow, why are your eyes red?!"

The man in military uniform lowered his head and touched his eyes without saying a word.

On the other hand, the exorcist at the side stood up and waved his hand. "It's normal, it's normal. This game probably creates characters and assigns backpacks through blind selection. Have you guys played online games before? Since there are different talents, there are also different races. "

"Take me for example. My profession is my ID, Exorcist. As for this brother's class, let me guess … night vision, red eyes, open your mouth and look. Oh, you have sharp teeth too. Also, you have my unique perception as an Exorcist. Good lad, this is the Vampire race. Awesome! "

Everyone in the team nodded in realization.

It was also during this interruption that they successfully arrived at the entrance of the Black Forest.

Standing at the entrance of the forest and looking inside, the surrounding trees were tall, rising from the ground and blocking out the sun. The sky was pitch-black, and there was no moonlight. The surroundings were eerily silent, and only the withered trees could be seen baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

There were many different roads marked here, and in combination with the low shrubs, each road seemed to be heading in the same direction, but no one knew what they would encounter along the way.

Seeing this scene, Messiah said with some hesitation, "This isn't a horror game, right?"

The Joker, who had just appeared, gave them a strong sense of contrast. Originally, when the plot was introduced, everyone thought that this was a simple role-playing adventure game, similar to the famous Legend of Seoda in Nintendo. But as soon as the Joker appeared, the style of the game uncontrollably moved toward horror games.

"It shouldn't be."

Tokumon, who had been immersed in games for many years, touched his head. "It's a holographic game, and not a worldview, it's unlikely that it's just a horror game."

As soon as he finished speaking, a swarm of black bats flapped their wings and swept over from the Black Forest. A red blood moon appeared from the black clouds, and the atmosphere was immediately filled with horror.

Everyone was speechless.

"Don't think about it, let's go."

Seeing that they had been performing crosstalk at the entrance of the Black Forest for so long, The Dark Wizard was the first to speak. "Didn't the system say that the closed beta server will automatically shut down when the sun rises?"

Hearing this, everyone stopped chatting. They quickly called for their teams and randomly picked a path to enter.

This was only a closed beta game, but whether it was the character modeling or the scenery, it was no different from reality. Nearly a hundred players saw it for themselves, and they praised it along the way. Especially an old gamer like Tu Yimen, his heart was clear.

It was no exaggeration to say that if this Infinite Looping Adventure opened beta and was fully launched, it would definitely take the world by storm and start a new gaming era.

In short, at this moment, whether they liked to play games or not, they seemed to have been inexplicably guided into the depths of the forest.

These days, they were a little muddle-headed in reality.

It could not be said that they were not mentally strong, nor could it be any other reason. It was as if they had forgotten something very important, and their hearts were empty.

Many people woke up in the middle of the night and found that they were covered in cold sweat, wet and sticking to their backs. They wanted to recall, but they could not remember the content of the dream. They only remembered that it was a story full of fear, death, sadness, and tears, but there was no lack of warmth and passion.

Just like the mechanical voice at the beginning said, if they could go to the castle, they might be able to understand the reason.

Everyone carried this hope and followed their teammates into the forest.

Just as they entered the forest, the forked roads around them all disappeared. Instead, there was a small path that meandered into the distance.

No one realized that something was wrong. They surrounded the healer and support in the middle, and those with high defense stood on the periphery, escorting the damage dealers step by step as they explored the forest.

The deeper they went into the forest, the narrower the path became, and the quieter the surroundings became. It was so quiet that not a sound could be heard.

"That's not right. Why is there not even a sound?"

The black-clothed Azan held the Soul Summoning Banner in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

"I also want to ask, don't normal games require you to level up and kill monsters? Where are the monsters? "

Tokumon scratched his head in confusion.

The next second, a strand of black hair swept across the back of his neck.

The Yin Yang Master suddenly jumped and looked up.

Above his head, there was nothing.

But for some reason, Tokumon's intuition told him that an "old acquaintance" seemed to have come looking for him. But if you had to ask him to say what an "old acquaintance" was, he couldn't quite say.

About ten minutes later, everyone realized that they were too sweet.

This was a serious horror game!!!

After experiencing the Dance of Demons and being chased by ghosts, everyone was numb.

Tokumon held a Yin-Yang Talisman and hid under a tree, trembling.

Beside him, Messiah nervously tightened her grip on the staff in her hand.

They were avoiding the pursuit of a female ghost.

This female ghost claimed that one of them was unfaithful and had forgotten her name. So, in an instant, black hair fell from a height of three thousand feet, falling all the way to the top of their heads. In the next second, it would wrap around their necks and the game would be over.

Fortunately, the seven people present had good mental fortitude. They weren't scared to the point of immediately cutting off the connection when they saw a ghost.

In fact, even though the first batch of beta testers were all shocked when they saw the ghost, none of them were scared to the point of quitting the game. That was a testament to their mental fortitude.

The exorcist frowned. "That female ghost seems to be looking for someone. Do any of you know her real name?"

Everyone's faces showed undisguised confusion. Only Tokumon grabbed his hair and muttered to himself, "Why do I feel like I remember her …"

Of course, Tokumon couldn't remember after losing his memory. But if it was before Tokumon lost his memory, he would most likely be so scared that he would jump up from the ground.

Back then, Tokumon had a fortuitous encounter in the S-Level Instance Dungeon "Hundred Ghosts Parade" and was fortunate enough to inherit the Yin Yang Master's skills.

The Hundred Ghosts Parade dungeon was extremely difficult. Many seniors had died in it. But Tokumon was lucky enough to gain the favor of a Ghost King. She escorted him all the way to the Onmyoji's inheritance and instantly turned it into a vacation dungeon. It was laughable.

By the way, that Ghost King was a girl. She was the one who had her hair down and was carelessly combing her hair from a high place.

Tokumon pressed his head.

A terrifying face flashed through his hazy memory. She held a pipe in her hand and blew at him. "I've told you my name. You have to remember it well. If you forget … Hehe."

After becoming a Onmyoji, Tokumon had a new understanding of names.

Especially for ghosts, the importance of a real name was self-evident. Powerful Onmyojis could even summon ghosts and make them their Spirit-branded Retainers.

The Ghost King told him her name. It was hard to say if she wanted to become Tokumon's Spirit-branded Retainer. But Tokumon … He was afraid of ghosts. He was very, very afraid. After becoming a Onmyoji, he never opened his Yin-Yang Eye. He didn't take in any Spirit-branded Retainers at all. He would rather cut his own paper than summon a powerful fighter.

But the current situation was a little awkward. If he couldn't remember, he wouldn't even be able to pass the first stage of this dungeon.

Tokumon squatted on the ground. While he felt a headache, he also felt something wrap around his body from the top of his head.

With a shiver, he remembered everything.

Although he hadn't recovered any memories of the Infinite Loop, at least he didn't die here. It was a good thing.

The Onmyoji jumped up from the ground. "Cuihua!! I remember now. Fujiwara Cuihua!! "

Everyone: "…?"

They slowly typed out a question mark.

.....

On the other side, Xu Su was the first to step into the black forest as if he was possessed.

When he completely woke up, he realized that he was in a forest with no end in sight.

Xu Su was shocked and subconsciously wanted to go back.

But when he looked back, he found that the path he came from was already covered by dense bushes. As long as he showed any intention of going back, the leaves surrounded him as if they had eyes and blocked his back, not allowing him to turn back.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk forward.

Just as Xu Su was about to take a step forward, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Open your backpack and take out the item."

This voice wasn't the voice from the system notification, but a young man's voice.

Xu Su was very sure that he had never heard this voice before.

But for some reason, the moment this voice sounded, he froze on the spot and couldn't stop crying.
