Chapter 158 Attack of the Protagonist 10

The closer they got to the magic circle, the scarier their surroundings became. This was no longer an indirect influence from the atmosphere but a direct hit from the five senses. Between the trees, dead carcasses in various stages of decay appeared repeatedly around the players. Most of them had bones poking out of their skin and missing limbs. In conclusion, they had a horrible death.

This place was some kind of death museum. There were carcasses that hung from the trees, half of his face melted off, burnt into a charred object, disemboweled with entrails dangling... Basically, any death you could think of, they were all there. Combined with an authentic smell of decay, this was the goriest scene that Feng Bujue had experienced since he started playing Thriller Paradise.

Seeing the decaying carcasses, smelling the stench, hearing the groans that seemed to be there and not there at the same time... Other than Feng Bujue, whose Terror Points remained the same, the other five’s Terror Points moved slightly.

"Even though I know these are illusions, this kind of scenario might possess a hidden threat," Ye Zhi said. "What if a real monster is hidden among them? We..."

"We won’t be able to recognize them?" Feng Bujue continued and smiled. "Don’t worry, I’m sure the two with the sleuthing expertise will be able to tell the difference between a real monster and an illusion."

He turned toward Galileo at the front with a wicked smile. "Right?"

"Er... Sure." Galileo’s heart kept saying that this player called Feng Bujue was trying to set them up.

Ye Zhi’s look toward Feng Bujue and the two GMs deepened with curiosity. She walked to the back and whispered to Zen Dream, "Leader... Don’t you think, these three... are a bit weird?"Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

The supernatural horror in the western setting came from a more physical damage. Everyone knew about things like vampires and werewolves. In the twenty-first century, they were attached to rich, tall, handsome, white, rich, pretty, petite, and love triangle tropes to fulfil many youngsters’ dreams of an inter-species romance. Their blood-drinking and howling to the moon somehow became adopted into a romantic idea.

Other than that, the spirits, demons, mummies, and cannibals were among the more common tropes. Speaking of western spirits, the first thing that popped into Feng Bujue’s mind was Casper, and the famous line that was repeated many times, ’I wish to be your friend.’ This thing really had a hard time being tied to danger and fear. Of course, there were also strong spirits like Freddy Krueger, but anyone who had seen the third movie in the series would know that this monster could be defeated in both the dream and real world, and it was not even that difficult to do. That was why in the series, all the victims were brainless kids, and only the main character had a relatively normal intellect and a slight ability to fight. If the film had an action-film main character, Freddy, this pedophile, would have been treated like those who bent over in prison to pick up the soap.

If one talked about cannibals, Feng Bujue was reminded of a unit type in Heroes of Might and Magic, a graceful and cruel murderer with high intelligence, and an ugly thing that appeared in many B movies with many human meat shields.

Mummies could refer to the dry carcass wrapped in bandages shown at the museum or a bald handsome man who had an affinity for sand magic.

Demons sounded like a powerful fighting race, and in terms of design, they were closest to eastern ghosts because they could inflict damage on a non-physical level, but their killing motive and method had a large difference from wronged spirits. Demons with some degree of power either transformed into middle-aged handsome men or beautiful women and ran circles around people’s lives for the sake of completing some kind of ’trade’. The final goal was of course to push the person to their death, and the lower grade demons were no different from normal serial killers, minus the fear of the law.

In any case, one could definitely say that Feng Bujue had a prejudice toward western ghosts. Even before he lost his sense of fear, he felt like, should he run into one, there would only be two options. If he could not win in a fight, he would be killed, or he would cut his enemy down with a saw. It was never a possibility in his mind that he would be cornered by a western ghost.

"I’ll take the one on the left," Copernicus said as he morphed into a flash and charged forward.

Galileo did not say anything. He arched his legs and bounced five meters ahead. He leaped by kicking his feet against the surface of the tree. He flitted through the forest so fast that one would have a hard time catching his movement.

When the three from Regulation saw this, they were shocked, not from fear but from surprise. These two could be said to rival the best fighters from Regulations. A player that focused on sleuthing could move with such speed and expertise at level eighteen? It was more believable to say that they were smurf accounts of players with high fighting mastery.

They are indeed powerful... Feng Bujue thought to himself, and he followed in a hurry. By then, he had ninety percent confidence that these two were GMs. He ran ahead, wishing to take a closer look at just how powerful they were.
