Underground base.
Hitterson and Hadley looked at the screen and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"This fool should be fine, otherwise I would suspect that the chemistry department's potions are useless."
"I hope so, but don't let up and keep an eye on him."
"Understood."
Hadley grabbed the liaison, "Now Horton is in room two, and Dinah is in number four, did you get it?"
We need to adjust the plan. ” After receiving an affirmative reply, he made an OK gesture to Hitson.
Hitsen cleared his throat, switched the microphone to the full channel, and announced, "Attention everyone, it's time to go live." ” This is a signal that everything is in place, and the ceremony begins, and before that, all staff members in the base will participate in a gamble.
They bet on which monster the sacrificed person will choose, and that monster will kill the sacrifice in the most brutal way possible.
Generally, all the people in a department will choose a monster together, and the monster guessed between different departments cannot be repeated, and then the person in charge will bring the money from his department members, come to the command room, pay the money and watch the big screen together, wait for the answer to be revealed, and the guesser will take all the money bet by other departments.
After Hitson's announcement, the entire base was jubilant, and everyone was happy, gearing up, discussing which kind of monster to bet on.
Except for Marty on the ground, everyone else didn't know that all their actions at the moment were under surveillance and without any privacy.
After swimming in the lake, it was getting dark, and everyone took out the food they had brought, had a sumptuous dinner, and then gathered around the living room, playing music, drinking beer, and starting to play Truth or Dare.
Marty carried his backpack with him, and although he didn't know exactly what was going to happen, he knew that something would happen tonight, because they would be going back early tomorrow morning.
Xu Jing finally waited for the right time, he didn't want to waste any more time, and without waiting for the first round of adventures to begin, he intervened in the outside world through his divine soul and directly opened the ring buckle on the cellar door located at the other end of the living room.
Boom~!
On this quiet night, the cellar door popped open, and the great movement suddenly frightened everyone, jumped up from their seats, and looked at the source of the sound.
Not only them, but even the staff members who were involved in gambling and guarding the big screen in the underground base were also shocked.
Hitterson and Hadley looked at each other, neither of them pressing the open button on the cellar door, but this inexplicable opening meant that things were out of their control once again.
The originally noisy and carnival command room instantly fell silent, and the person in charge of the engineering department thought for a while and said: "This may be an accident, it is normal for such a simple ancient mechanism to sometimes fail. ” "Forget it, we were going to open it, but it will be later."
Hadley was silent for a few seconds before saying.
"I hope it was an accident."
Hitterson knocked on the table, "Bets are closing soon, hurry." ” As soon as he finished speaking, everyone regained their enthusiasm again, and the bills in their hands frantically poured towards Hadley.
Miss Lin inadvertently turned around and saw Du Lu, the guard who had been guarding the door, and said, "Don't you make a bet?"
” Truman grimaced and refused, "No, thank you." ” "Looks cruel, right?"
Miss Lin was slightly embarrassed and explained: "They are just venting, this job is not easy, fortunately, these guys have survived." ” "Do the directors know about what we're doing downstairs?"
Truman asked.
"As long as it doesn't work, as long as those young people follow the process, the supervisors don't care about that."
Hadley counted the bets, and when he heard it, he replied in passing.
"But that's already a foregone conclusion."
Truman finally couldn't help it, "The result is under your control, what are you gambling on?"
” He could accept the idea of sacrificing a few people to protect the entire human race, but he couldn't accept that these people present would bet on the sacrificed.
"No, no, no, we're only responsible for leading them to the cellar for them to choose, and the choice is entirely up to them."
Hitson shook his head repeatedly, "If this is not the case, it will not work, the ritual will not be opened, we cannot control what they choose, we only control the situation when necessary, but the final result cannot be violated." ” On the big screen, Marty and the others entered the cellar, which was dark and full of all kinds of ancient things, music boxes, conchs, old black and white photos, masks, dolls, wedding dresses......
These things look like they've been around for a long time, and they're stacked together in a dense package, which looks particularly weird.
"Oh my god, man, seriously, your cousin's collection is weird."
"I'm sure none of this is his, it may have been collected by the original owner who put the one-way mirror."
"Guys, I don't think it's a good thing to come down."
Marty held the oil lamp, his heart beating wildly, and he had a bad premonition.
But the eyes of the others seemed to be completely drawn to various things, and everyone chose one thing and studied it oblivionly.
"It's time for us to go up."
Marty reminded him once again that in this cellar, he felt a strong sense of malice, which came from each of the collectibles.
But the others were unmoved, as if they hadn't heard him at all, and were immersed in their respective worlds.
At this time, Kurt was holding a star Rubik's cube in his hand and was spinning; Julie took off the necklace around the neck of a bride who had lost her head and was wearing a wedding dress, apparently intending to put it on herself; Holden opened the music box and watched the puppet spin with wide eyes; Dinah picked up a journal and was flipping through it.
"System, is there something wrong with these collectibles?"

Marty took a deep breath and asked Xu Jing.
"Yes."
Xu Jing replied, "The system has detected the power of a curse on each collectible. ” "Cursed?"
Marty was shocked and shouted to the crowd, "Put things down!"
” His shout finally woke everyone up, and their eyes took their eyes off their respective concerns and looked over one after another.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you alright?"
Everyone looked puzzled and asked aloud.
Marty breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could speak, Dinah suddenly spoke, "Guys, listen to this. ” With the journal in her hand, she read it to herself: "On the 4th of April, my father lost his temper with me, saying that I lacked true faith, and that I wanted to prove my loyalty, just as Judas and Matthew proved to the travelers. ” "What's that?"
The crowd was drawn to the contents of the diary, and Julie asked.
Marty, on the other hand, slapped his forehead with a helpless look on his face.
At the same time that Dinah reads out the date, he receives a task that requires him to completely kill the undead zombies who have been cursed and reborn.
