Chapter 246 - Dreamland
Chapter 246 Dreamland
“Eh, Fang Heng, Why don’t you go offline and rest for a while?”
Mo Jiawei noticed that Fang Heng’s condition didn’t seem to be normal. Previously, when he was in the control room on the fourth floor, he had been yawning and drinking coffee.
Previously, when he was in Pine City, Fang Heng was much more energetic.
He didn’t seem to be so tired.
Fang Heng nodded.
He also felt that his head was very dizzy and it had already affected his thinking.
“Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you. Just leave the materials to Victor and Qiu Yaokang.” “No problem, leave it to me.”
Fang Heng took one last look at the storage room.
He didn’t have time to take stock of what he had brought back. It would be better to wait until the next time he went online.
Thinking of this, Fang Heng finally gave the order to the Tyrant form and the Lickers to protect the shelter.
Then, he called the rest of the zombies to go out and hack trees together. Only then did he throw a simple bed and go offline.
In the hotel, Fang Heng opened the game cabin and climbed out with great effort.
“Why am I so tired…”
Fang Heng yawned again and turned his phone to silent mode. Then, he threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.
On the top floor of the bell tower.
A bat was hanging upside down from the window.
Its scarlet eyes were focused on the ritual in the tower.
On the floor of the room, a few simple lines were connected to form a strange pattern.
A wooden chair was placed in the centre of the pattern.
Fang Heng sat on the wooden chair with his head lowered.
His gaze unconsciously stopped at the strange pattern on the floor.
It was so familiar…
“Fang Heng, Fang Heng…” Hearing the soft call, Fang Heng raised his head, his eyes empty.
A circle of attendants stood at the periphery of the pattern on the floor.
The wide black robe and hood covered their faces and bodies.
One of them slowly walked toward him with a rusty knife in her hand.
When he got closer, Fang Heng saw a familiar face under the hood.
It was Xia Xi!
Fang Heng’s pupils suddenly contracted.
“Bang!!!”
There was a loud sound!
Fang Heng suddenly sat up straight from the bed.
His back was already soaked with sweat.
Was it a nightmare?
Fang Heng’s heart was still pounding violently.
The nightmare just now was too clear.
The impression of the lines carved on the floor left a deep impression on Fang Heng.
When had he seen it before?
He had no recollection at all.
At this moment, Fang Heng suddenly felt that the back of his hand was a little warm. He immediately stretched out his right hand in front of his eyes.
At this moment, Fang Heng was stunned.
A very faint mark appeared on the back of his hand.
“What the hell!”
Fang Heng tried to rub it with his hand.
The mark was not rubbed off. Instead, it became clearer.
It was the pattern he had seen on the floor in his dream!
It was as if it was carved on the back of his hand. The entire back of his hand was burning up.
“Bang!!”
There was another heavy sound.
Fang Heng suddenly turned his head to look at the window.
He got off the bed and came to the curtains.
Taking a deep breath, Fang Heng pulled the curtains open.
Outside the window, a bat rushed towards the window.
“Bang!”
Fang Heng stared at the bat.
It was rare to see a bat in a metropolitan city like Sucheng
It kept rushing towards the window, but it was blocked by the tempered glass every time.
“Bang!!!”
This time, the bat’s body hit the tempered glass hard and fell.
Was it dead?
Fang Heng frowned.
It was coming for him?
Raising his hand again, Fang Heng noticed that the mark on the back of his hand had disappeared completely.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Fang Heng frowned.
There must be something wrong with his body.
Fang Heng went back to his bed and picked up his phone.
He slept for 35 hours.
It was already three o’clock in the morning.
It was very abnormal!
Ever since he joined the game, Fang Heng’s schedule had been very irregular.
In the past, he would sleep for a day and a night, but he would never sleep halfway like this.
There were still a lot of missed calls on his phone.
Most of them were from Chen Yu, and one of them was from Xia Xi.
Xia Xi!
The person he saw in his dream.
If he wanted to figure everything out, he had to start with Xia Xi!
She must know something.
But…
Fang Heng instinctively felt uneasy.
This unease came from this body.
Previously, he found a strange notebook in the rented house, and it also warned him to be careful of Xia Xi.
Not long ago, Fang Heng originally wanted to draw a clear line with this body’s past and start a new life.
But now, the mark on the back of his hand told Fang Heng that everything was not that simple.
What had to come, had to come.
He had to face it head-on.
Fang Heng stroked his chin as he pondered.
Before he went to look for Xia Xi, he had to investigate first.
Starting from the dream just now, as well as the ‘Ouroboros’ and ‘soul seal’ written on the notebook in the rented house.
He could first ask Mo Jiawei about the situation.
His family’s North River Heavy Industry was one of the pillar industries of the Federation. It had a long history and deep connections.
Even though North River Heavy Industry was not very popular in the game, they knew some secrets related to the game.
There was also Old Black.
That middleman!
With some money, he could buy some information from him.
He would go online first and asked Mo Jiawei about the situation.
At 3:30 in the morning, Fang Heng did not call Chen Yu or Xia Xi back. Instead, he looked through WeChat.
He had deliberately not replied to Xia Xi’s messages for a long time.
However, Xia Xi would always send messages to Fang Heng from time to time, telling him about her recent situation and asking about Fang Heng
This made Fang Heng feel even more uneasy.
In addition, Pei Anan would summarize the major events that happened in the game and send them to Fang Heng’s phone through WeChat every day.
After a full 35 hours, many things happened in the game.
First was the prison.
Because of the Blood Moon incident, the prison was completely popular in the forum!
Mo Jiawei took advantage of its popularity to announce in the name of North River Heavy Industry that they were cooperating with the prison’s work studio. He made a very domineering statement about the ownership of the 28 areas, including the forest area, and that players were not encouraged to carry out activities in these areas.
Otherwise, the consequences would be at their own risk!
In the game, such announcements of declaring territorial occupation were rare.
It was unprecedented for Fang Heng to announce that he had taken down 28 areas in one go.
On one hand, occupying territory would arouse the disgust of the ordinary survival players.
The world map was very big. If one person was so greedy and took up so many resources, how could others play then?
On the other hand, it also had to do with the strength of the shelter itself. In the early stages, transportation was inconvenient for elementary players, so the areas that they could control were very small.
After the announcement was made, others would build a shelter in the areas that were occupied and if they developed well…
It would be a slap in the face!
The second thing was the second Blood Moon.
Unfortunately, 10 hours after the end of the Blood Moon, the game released an announcement.
The second Blood Moon would begin in 12 days.
The difficulty of the next Blood Moon was not much higher, but it was rare for the time between two Blood MoonS to be so short in the history of the game.
Now, the price of a ticket to the prison had risen to 100,000 yuan per ticket.
Prices were hanging around but there was no market.
Because Fang Heng had not been online for a while, no one sold tickets outside.
