Thriller Paradise

93. Chapter 93 Hunter Island (2)

    Not afraid of quickly hiding behind a knife and a sword as a frightened, the two decisively took out their own weapons, blocking in front of her, ready to deal with the possible attack of the big man.

    "Let them come in, Ivan."A man’s voice came from the door behind Dahan: "They are my guests."The tone of the voice was polite and with a slight accent.

    Ivan heard the words, put down the pistol, walked back to the door, opened the door with his thick arms, and then looked at the players silently.

    [The main line task has been triggered]

    The system prompts to sound at the right time, everyone can see the task content in the menu: [Enter the castle of General Zarov, listen to the rules of the game. 】

    When I saw the task, the look quickly changed, and the mouth whispered softly: "General Zarov…IvanwaitI am a hunter…I have come here to meet a shipwreck…"He suddenly looked up and looked dignified: "The most dangerous game…Richard.Cornell. ”In the attic of memory, the content related to this story immediately emerged.

    When the inspiration is exhausted, I often read some short stories to relax and collect materials, so the content of these novels is familiar to him and will soon be remembered.

    Without a surprise, this script is a game of hunting "people", and it is clear that the player will play the role of prey…

    Hesitating for a while, a knife and a sword will come back and ask for advice and rain. Anyway…If you encounter good things, everyone is vying for it. But if there is a dangerous thing, it is better to let others take it for themselves. If it is not, I will solicit opinions first, so that at least some of the responsibilities can be shirked to others after the accident…

    Feng shrugged and shrugged, went straight to the front, and walked and said: "According to the task instructions, it is."

    Ivan is like a fierce giant statue standing at the door, full of deterrence. However, the seal did not even take out the weapons, passing by in front of him and walking into the castle.

    Like the rain, she followed the seal before she came forward, and the second entered the castle.

    The rest of the three faces face to face, but they still reacted with a knife and cleared their throat: "Uh huh…ThatLet's go too. ”

    A sword slammed down the slope: "Yes, if they are in danger, we can support it."

    Not afraid to nod and follow behind the two. The three also entered the castle gate one after another.

    Ivan, who stood at the door, kept watching every player passing by him with a condescending alert. After all five entered the castle, he silently took the door.

    Inside the gate is a spacious hall with bright lights. The marble steps leading to the second floor are very wide. A man in a tuxedo and a strong man is standing there straight and watching his five "guests".

    General Zarov has passed middle age, tall and handsome. His hair is white, but his eyebrows and beard are still black, and his eyes are black and bright. In addition to the distinctive five senses, there is a unique thing on his face, a temperament of a person who is accustomed to giving orders.

    “I am very happy and very honored to welcome all the excellent hunters to come to visit my house.”He fainted: "I am General Zarov."He introduced himself and gestured.

    After Ivan saw Zarov’s action, he took the gun and gave him a courtesy. He stood on the side of the ladder.

    "Please forgive me for being unreasonable, gentlemen…Of course, there are ladies. ”Zarov's unique tone made his words look meticulous, as if every word was well thought out: "Ivan is a simple person, but a little barbaric. He is incredibly strong, but unfortunately, he is dumb. God gave him something and took another one…"The expression he said when he said this was worth pondering.

    “Looks like a Cossack.”I don’t know what to say, he certainly knows this.

    "Yes, my friend."Zarov replied, he smiled, squeezing out from the sharp teeth and bright red lips: "Me too."

    He made another gesture, and Ivan walked quickly and stood in front of the general. Zarov said a few words to him, but his lips were still moving and he did not make a sound.

    After Ivan got the order, he left the hall and didn't know where to go.

    Zarov immediately said to everyone: "You, please come with me."He said that he walked down the ladder and led everyone to walk in a corridor.

    A few minutes later, they came to a large medieval study room with gray carpets on the floor. The furniture and bookcases all had a heavy feeling. In addition to a large number of books, there were many animal specimens, deer heads, Zebra skin and so on, there is even a grizzly bear standing posture.

    "I have read all books about hunting, English, French, and Russian. There is no other fun in my life, only hunting. ”Zarov walked slowly through his collection, as if to show off what he said, "Is it the head of the South African black buffalo?"

    Feng did not feel replied: "Impressive."

    "The thing caught me and threw me on a tree. My bones were broken, but I ended up cleaning up the beast."Zarov’s scene of the hunting seemed to be vivid.

    It is clear that the meaning of these words is clear. Based on the information provided in this dialogue, players should have a concept of the tyrannical strength of this BOSS.

    "I think South African black buffalo may be the most dangerous type of large hunting."Unexpectedly, according to the content of the novel in memory, and Zaroff right words, so that he can enter the topic as soon as possible.

    The general suddenly silenced for a while, then cast a meaningful look and said slowly: "No, that is not the most dangerous."He went to the desk, picked up a bottle of whiskey, raised it and looked at everyone: "Come on?"

    "No, Thank you" =I didn’t know how to return.

    Zarov poured himself a glass. He sipped and said: "In this island, my territory, I invented a more dangerous hunting."

    InventionI don’t know what to ask.

    Interesting…Yes, invention. ”The general smiled and nodded: "You must be very strange, how should the invention be invented?"He paused: "Of course, I am not God, it is impossible to create a dangerous animal out of thin air. However, I discovered a species that has existed for a long time but has never been hunted. They are not born and raised on this island, but I can buy it myself…"

    "What prey are you introducing, general? Is it a tiger? ”I still feel that I am still talking to this BOSS.

    In addition to the rain, the other three are a bit inexplicable, they are pondering: this kid is too entertaining, really think of himself as a hunter in the script? Why do you waste so much with a NPC?

    Zarov grinned: "No, the tiger has made me tired. I have already tossed them up enough. Hunting tigers have lost their appeal to me. Those animals can no longer shake my hands…Even a second. ”He took a gold cigarette case out of his pocket and picked up a long black cigar. The cigar had a silver line logo on it and it smelled like an incense.

    "I am the kind of person who is born to enjoy the danger, but most animals are no longer dangerous to me."Zarov spoke a cigarette: "God made some people become poets, some became kings, some people became jealous…And I, he made me a hunter, the best, the strongest. ”He showed a stunned look: "But after a happy day, finally one day, I found that hunting is not attractive to me. You are also a hunter. Can you guess why?"

    “If you think of hunting as a sport, you always know that you will win before the game starts?”Feng Jie did not pick up.

    "Yes, I didn't expect you to understand."Zarov said with delight: "I can always hunt my prey because they are just animals. They have nothing but legs and instinct. But I am a human being with wisdom. It is not fair to use wisdom and instinct to compete. When I realized this, I felt very sad and sad. ”He took another cigar: "Until one day, I had inspiration. I realized that there is another thing that I have never hunt for. They are the perfect prey because they can think."

    When I heard this, the four people, except the seal, finally understood the basic situation of the script. The general Zarov was originally an anti-human madman, hunting for humanity in order to seek excitement. The task of "listening to the rules of the game" is the next rule of "hunting."

    "Are you sure this is not a joke?"The seal responded with a very serious tone. Of course, he himself has already made sure that this is by no means a joke.

    "I never joke about hunting."Zarov replied: "I bought this island and built this house. I am here for hunting. The island is an unparalleled hunting ground. The jungle is maze-like, full of winding paths, cliffs, swamps and, most importantly, surrounded by the sea. Here, I am hunting almost every day, and I have never felt bored so far. ”

    "I am very confused, Lord General."Feng did not know: "We have five people here. Can we stop your crazy murder in the study room?"

    "Ha ha ha ha…"Zarov laughed: "Murder? FebruaryThis is a quiz, a game between hunters and prey. ”His eyes glanced at five players: "As for the situation you said…"He raised his arm and made a gesture.

    Ivan did not know where to take it out, holding a tray in his hand, and a fragrant Turkish coffee for the generals. He put the coffee, and stood on the side of Zarov like a tower, staring at the players who were present.

    “There was a group of Spanish sailors who came to the island. I invited them to join me on the hunt, but they refused and showed obvious hostility.”Zarov said calmly: "Ivan just tore them into pieces and took them to the animals on the island."

    When I heard this sentence, I couldn’t remember how the look changed. He couldn’t remember the novel he had read about other wild carnivores on the island: “Excuse me…What animal? ”

    Ha haZarov showed a cold smile: "That is too much…Python, coyotes, bengal tigers, etc…I want the jungle here to be a bit more lively, so I got a lot of goods. Humans are not the preferred feed. Usually they eat the most mountain pigs. Of course, they are live mountain pigs, each of which needs to hunt themselves so that the animals can remain wild. ”Zarov didn't know what to say: "Your face has become a little bad, my friend."

    "Ahhhh……Because I would like to hear the answer is something like a donkey or a parrot…Not all kinds of beasts. ”I didn’t know how to return.

    "Hahaha!"You are very funny. ”Zarov looked very happy: "Well, now, let me know what you need to know about this hunt."

    He walked to the side of the window and pressed a button on the wall. "See?"The general pointed at the distant sea road, where the lights lit up quickly, but fleeting.

    "The light of the lighthouse seems to point out a route, but in fact this route does not exist. The rocks curled up there are as sharp as razors. They are like sea monsters. They can crush every passing ship, just as easy to crush a nut. ”The general said: "I think the ship you are riding in is sinking near that moment. So don't expect to escape to the sea to find a rescue. ”

    After showing the veritable ship trap, Zarov came to the other side of the window. He opened an organ. In the cellar below the window, the lights flickered. The space below was very strange. Many of them were huge. The shadows walked around there, whispering, their eyes faintly emitting green light in the darkness.

    "As a prey, hiding in a place is not a very unwise choice."Zarov said: "My hounds are well trained, in my collection…"His eyes swept through the surrounding animal specimens and sneered: "I mean…In my real collection, there are many head specimens, some of them are very savvy, but in the end they can't escape the mouth of my hound. ”

    Zarov closed the window and stood in front of everyone. "Well, the rules are very simple. There are still five hours from the sunrise. You can leave the castle at any time. I will set off in an hour to find you. ."He put down the cigar and the wine glass, carrying his hands and standing in a military position: "I don't want you to think that I am boasting, but…The number of prey I have hunted far exceeds your imagination, white, black, Indian, Mongolian…There have been so few prey that are really good, they are resourceful, strong, endurable and adaptable, but…I have to say that I have not missed it so far. ”

    "If you missed it?"Feng did not know: "I mean, as long as we live to the sunrise, are you losing right?"

    Ha haThe general showed a confident smile and said in a warm tone: "So your efforts will be worth the money. I will prepare a monorail for you and guide you on how to get to the nearest town on land. ”

    Zarov picked up the glass on the table again: "You can trust my promise. I am guaranteed by a gentleman, a soldier and an athlete. Of course, you also have to agree not to mention anything that happens here. ”He lowered his voice: "If you can really leave…"

    [The current task is completed, the main line task has been updated]

    The system prompts, and the original task in the game menu has been marked next to it, and the new task emerges:

    [Escape from the castle and avoid the hunting of General Zarov until sunrise. 】

    [There is still a departure from Zarov: 59 minutes]

    [Distance from sunrise: 299 minutes]

    In addition to the task description, the values ​​for these two times can be viewed at any time below the taskbar, but not to the nearest second.

    The general sipping his wine, before the players leave, and very kind and sincere to give a few words of advice: "Right, I suggest you in the vicinity of the castle, try to avoid leaving footprints, it is a low-level error; In addition, it is best not to go to the southeast corner of the island, where there is a big swamp, we call it ' the I used to have a smart guy to go there. My dog ​​Lazarus followed him. As a result, I was buried in the marsh. It’s hard to imagine my feelings. Lazarus is the best of my hounds. It feels like It’s really bad. ”

    The seal has already shaken his head and turned and ready to go.

    He did not expect that, after Zarov said so many obvious implications, one of his teammates was still brewing an impulsive stupidity.

    When I said that it was too late, I took a knife and pulled it on the knife. The killing was now, the knife was out of the sheath, and the blade was smashing.

    His distance from Zarov is only about five meters. When Ivan was seen at the gate of the castle, his knife was taken out of the bag and taken in his hand, so his attack was very sudden, and the rest of the four people present were all I was shocked.

    A knife has his own understanding of this plot. He feels that this place is the best chance to get rid of this BOSS. There is no need to do things like escape. It is only necessary to solve Zarov here. If you run into the jungle outside to face all kinds of unknown dangers, wait until exhaustion, and then let this BOSS with a hound to chase yourself, that is the move to lose money.

    From the beginning of the script to the present, there are only two strange figures in the castle, and these two guys are just ordinary humans. Where can they be strong? Their body type is in the normal category, and the weapon used is an ordinary pistol. From this world view, this is about the real world two centuries ago. These two BOSS can't have super powers and the like. Even if their setting is close to the human limit, it's fine, because the player's Fighting power is also a higher level than ordinary people.

    The most crucial point is that the knife has a great grasp to take this BOSS, his self-confidence comes from a skill, that is, the title of the [first entry into the knife] – the head of the man.
