This was a very spacious hall, the space was estimated to be the size of a basketball court, but except for a few torches for lighting installed around the wall, this was still an empty roar.
In addition to the corridor they had come from, there were three new corridor entrances in front, but this room was too dark to be able to see the situation behind the corridor, even if the flashlight shone, he said, the light seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness.
‘Do I have to choose one of the three doors?’ Lena thought.
He was not worried about a dead end in these three lanes. After all, no matter how difficult the copy was, the game definitely took into consideration the circumstances of players who only had one life to complete the level.
So the system will not give you a path that will instantly kill you if you take one wrong step, even if it is the most difficult copy.
If you want to make the players die chances are still using the same method——Give them a little time to survive and a way to survive.
Even if they fall into a death trap, the game will give them a chance to tolerate the mistake.
Otherwise, if you just take the wrong step once, you will be crushed to death, and even after coming out of the copy, you will not know how you died, ‘Isn't that too boring.’
So no matter what method you choose, it is likely that only the difficulty level is slightly different. It all depends on luck.
After all, luck is also part of strength.
Lena stared at the ground for a while, but was unable to see any path.
There was a pattern on the floor of the hall, but there were no rules in this pattern, or perhaps the pattern was too complicated, and he did not understand it in a short period of time - the latter possibility was directly ruled out by it, he said, the copy has just begun, and generally there will be no difficult puzzles.
After thinking about it, he looked around the hall again. Then he suddenly noticed that there was also a pattern on the ceiling.
‘Not..it's not a pattern, it's a very complicated collection of routes.’
Moreover, there was a proper road route there above them leading to the entrance of the corridor in front, Lena glanced at him and stepped out.
Rion immediately became nervous, and seemed ready to hug her at any moment. But the move Lena took, didn't set off a trap.
Lena understood, "There's an indication of a route on the ceiling, I'll go ahead and explore the route first."
Saying that, he dashed forward very quickly while following the route on the ceiling, Rion did not even have time to reach him.
He paused for a while, not following Lena, but looking at the people coming out of the corridor behind him, "Be careful, the floor in front can collapse ..."
Yu, who was recklessly stepping on the floor, triggered a trap and nearly fell down. Fortunately Nao, who happened to be beside her, grabbed her quickly, and forcibly dragged her back, "Damn it, be careful, brother."
Yu looked at the collapsed ground in horror, "What is going on here? Why didn't your place collapse?"
Rion raised his finger and pointed to the ceiling, "There are safety route instructions on it."
As soon as Rion finished talking, the ground suddenly shook again, and then Rif suddenly shouted, "Tombok on the side will also shrink again!"
At this moment, everyone began to fear living in a safe place even longer.
All of them used the safe route on the ceiling of the hall and searched for a path. There were also some who did not step on the correct position and caused the ground to collapse, but they all reacted in time and grabbed the person who was about to fall.
Although slowly, they gradually walked out.
Rion also made room for others, he let Nao and Yue take the lead, while the other group also took part in finding another path with members of two to three people.
They didn't seem to dare to stay here any longer, so they all took a flashlight to carry. Follow the path route on the ceiling and start walking forward.
At this moment, Lena had reached the entrance of the corridor in front, and she turned around to wave to them, she had no intention of going to the corridor to directly check the situation for now.
With Lena's pre-exploration, Rion and the others were able to walk very smoothly, they reached Lena's side a few minutes faster than the others, and then Lena turned around and entered the corridor.
Nao stopped, "Aren't you waiting for the others?"
Yue also saw it clearly, “And what do you really want to go with... Wallet running - No, that Master? I don't like that guy."
Rion shook his head, "I don't want to either."
She had seen the man glancing at Lena for no reason before, and that gaze always made her feel like Lena was looked down upon. If he was causing trouble, he might have to beat up the guy.
That person was the type of person with a good temper on the outside, but that person gave him a very bad first impression, especially the look at Lena, which made him instantly classify her as a potential enemy.
‘And looking at Lena's previous statement, maybe the two of them already knew each other before? Lena doesn't seem to like the guy too much.’
Then he had to take Lena away from the man.
Seeing them all say that, Nao could only nod his head, "OK, let's go first."
Lena walked forward first, "Let's go."
Rion hurriedly followed, and walking beside him, he was always preparing to deal with unexpected situations.
But this time, everyone did not face the sudden situation anymore. This should be a place for them to rest for a while.
After they settled down for a short time, their attention was no longer focused on the dark environment around, and their thinking began to diverge.
“By the way, did you notice that something is wrong with this copy?” Yue asked coldly.
Lui gave him a sideways look, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know either," Yue shook her head, her expression a little strange, "Just that it feels different from the copy I played before, but I don't know what went wrong ... I always feel ... weird? Yeah, it feels weird."
"Isn't this copy really in this style? Witch Castle must be a scary place."
Nao muttered as he thought, "But I also feel that this copy is a bit wrong."
Rion still focused most of his attention on the surroundings, and responded slightly about their topic, "Perhaps copies with high difficulty are all like this.”
“Have you encountered another hard copy before?"
“...No.” Yue shook his head.
Nao thought his statement was quite reasonable, "Maybe that's the case, the other copies don't directly contain high-intensity actions at the beginning."
Listening to their discussion, Lena simply smiled silently.
This copy is different than before. But not because of its high difficulty level, but rather because of the patch update this morning.
As he had expected earlier, this update does add a bit of realism in the game—
For example, this is the first appearance of a corpse that will not be lost in the game, even if it is just a dead cat, then the first appearance of blood, even if it is only a spot of blood.
And obviously, they were unable to pay attention to this small detail right away. But they must have felt an awkwardness.
This is how this method of the game, step by step makes the player accept the feeling of game realism, maybe some people will realize it in the process, but at least no controversy occurred from the beginning to the end of his previous life.
And those players who disagreed with the real bloody scene in the later stages, would mostly stay away from the game by themselves.
Frankly, no matter whether the player accepts it or not, the adaptation process of this game will never change, and the disaster that will eventually come will also never disappear.
And this time, this update also returns giving Lena a reminder the game is growing faster than she expected, and she likely can't relax any longer.
‘Then I just have to get stronger.’
