Chapter 6: First Mission: Munster's Mask

The gloomy and dim space, where the sun was shining brightly outside the window, was completely blocked by the thick black curtains, and only a not-so-bright electric lamp shone on the low pointed beams. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Under the electric light was a test bench with neat instruments and equipment, and a pile of books, next to which were pen and paper, and on which were densely twisted handwriting. On the left side of the bench there are several cabinets with various laboratory utensils, and on the right side there is a small bed, the mattress is worn but clean, neatly stacked in the corner against the wall.

Tang Tu looked around, but he didn't find anything unusual, to be exact, he was a little disappointed that he didn't see the "monster".

This is the attic used by Victor for experiments, and it is also the birthplace of the "monster", which is a hidden place, which is very suitable for Tibetans, and Tang Tu originally planned to hide the "monster" here.

If the "monster" is not here, then where can he go? Or did the previous scenario game system decide that he failed to contact the "monster"?

Tang Tu picked up the books on the test bench and looked at them, and flipped through the papers.

The books are stamped with the seal of the Inglestad University Library, and most of them are beginner's guidebooks, including even children's storybooks, on which the reader's experiences and doubts are recorded.

What a coincidence, Tang Tu originally planned to teach him these things after coming into contact with the "monster", or was this the book and reading notes used by the "monster" to study?

Just as Tang Tu was pondering, a rough voice suddenly came to mind behind him, "You're here...", the monster appeared behind Tang Tu, as if he had been standing there looking at him.

Tang Tu was startled and glanced at the monster reproachfully, but he caught a trace of "disappointment" in the eyes of the "monster".

Tang Tu instantly understood and said, "Victor is still sick, he has a nervous fever, he can only lie down and can't move, if you want to see him, you can go downstairs to see him by yourself, this time he can't run... However, I must remind you that it will take some time for him to accept you. ”

"Monster" is a little lost, obviously he has not learned to hide his emotions, Victor is the one who created him, the first person he saw in this world when he opened his eyes, although Henry took him in, but in his heart Victor is always the most special, just like a child is born to want the approval of his parents.

The "monster" came out of the shadows, and Tang Tu asked him, "Why are you hiding for fear that someone will attack you?" ”

The "monster" smiled wryly, "Why are you hiding... It's like the curtains in this room have never been opened, like the sun has never shone into this room, I'm a monster who can't be seen..."

"I'm not human?" Tang Tu raised his eyebrows, he didn't like the "monster" self-pity, many times self-pity would turn into self-pity and make people degenerate.

"I didn't let you live here because you couldn't see anyone. You are born with great power, too much power often leads to destruction, if you can't control this power, it will hurt yourself and the people you care about, only a strong heart can help you overcome difficulties.

That's why you need to read these books, first learn to understand the world, understand others and understand yourself, and when you're ready, you can leave here and go to this world.

Of course, you can leave here at any time, you have always been free, and I am only suggesting this, not imprisoning you here. ”

The "monster" was a little moved, and walked to the window to open the curtain a slit, and the sunlight shone on his face, reflecting his face clearly, even if it was only a side face.

Tang Tu has always believed that aesthetics are very complex and vary from person to person, some people like things and others can never understand why, even if most people are disgusted, there will always be people who like it, so many people on the earth, so many players in the redeemer, there must be someone who is a good "monster".

For example, Tang Tu himself, although he also thinks that the "monster" is ugly, but at the same time he feels that there is a kind of "cruel beauty".

Moreover, beauty and ugliness are also a habit, and no matter how ugly things are, they don't feel anything when they are used to it.

Tang Tu picked up the notes on the table again and looked at them, there were a few names written on a few pieces of paper, "Are you naming yourself?" ”

"Yes..."The "monster" still looked out the window, greedy for every bit of scenery outside.

"Got it figured?" Tang Tu asked.

“... Munster. Klewal. Frankenstein. ”

Munster, from the "MONSTER" monster, the last two need no explanation.

Tang Tu was silent for a while and said, "If you like it, what other books do you want to read?" I'll bring it to you next time. ”

"Monster", no, Munster from now on, thought for a moment and said, "Can you give me ten gold coins?" ”

Tang Tu was stunned for a moment, then took out ten gold coins from his pocket and put them on the table, to be honest, it hurt a little, but after hesitating for a while, he put two more.

Tang Tu didn't ask Munster what he wanted money for, but Munster took the initiative to explain, "It's dark at night, I want to go out for a walk..."

The "Ding Dong" system prompt sounded, and the teammates sent a message "scratch itchy": Where are you? Help, Victor is dying.

Tang Tu replied: Wait a minute, I'm busy.

When the message was sent, Tang Tu was in a daze, and when he came back to his senses, he found Munster looking at him inquiringly.

"It's okay to go out for a walk at night and stay safe. I'm going down, you can come down to me if you have something, just don't let Victor see it, and when he gets better, I'll find a chance to tell him about you. ”

Coming out of the attic, Tang Tu sent a message: Where are you?

If it's itchy, scratch it: Victor's house, my brother is coming over, Victor is dying, I'm taking care of him, I'm dying of it.

Tang Tu: Don't worry, he can't die, just have you to take care of him, I can't go first, there are other things to deal with.

Scratch it when it's itchy: No, big brother, he's really dying, he has a negative state "neuropathic fever", he wasted a "treatment" card on my part, and the results show that it doesn't work, what if he dies like this, what if we do the mission?

Tang Tu: If you can't die for the time being, just lie down for a few months, you just take care of his eating, drinking, and Lazar. The "monster" is here, I'm going to get rid of him, and Victor will leave it to you.

Yes, between Victor and Munster, Tang Tu chose to help Munster.

When he read the original book, Tang Tu disagreed with Victor. He thinks that Victor's failure lies in being too selfish, that his mother's death is terrifying, and that if he studies a cure for his illness, he will show his greatness and dedication to benefit future generations, but he studies immortality, and in the end he is only afraid of death.

Munster, on the other hand, was lonely and helpless, and before he made his mistake, he was just an innocent person, abandoned without doing anything, did not understand anything, no one wanted to teach him, and all of them blamed him for their faults.

In the eyes of everyone, Munster is a demonic monster, but in Tang Tu's opinion, Victor, who created Munster but left him alone, is the real demon.

Tang Tu's thoughts may be related to his experience of losing his father when he was a teenager.

Tang Tu's parents divorced when he was young, but they have always maintained contact, although his relationship with his father is not close, but he has the impression that his father is a very powerful and even great person. His mother's death was an accident, and his father's disappearance has always been a pimple in his heart.

Tang Tu soon left Inglestad's campus and headed in the direction of the grocery store in his memory.

The system grocery store is still there and hasn't disappeared by switching scenes. On the wall of the grocery store is a catalog of items with the name "Mask" and the note "Hidden props, more than 50 items visible from NPCs, ornaments that can be worn to change the wearer's appearance".

Tang Tu spent thirty gold coins to buy the "mask".

The "Mask" is a card, slightly different from the energy card in the player's hand, with a name, pattern, and function description on it, but no star rating, and a small print note below: Only certain NPCs can activate.

Back in Inglestad's attic, the curtains were still obscured from the sun, and Munster was reading a book in the dim light.

Tang Tu put the "mask" on the table, "This one is for you." ”

Munster was surprised and moved, as a game NPC, he knew better than Tang Tu what the "mask" meant to him.

"Are you really going to give me the 'mask'?" Munster looked at Tang Tu with deep meaning, "Actually, I can help you activate it, and you can use the activated 'mask'..."

Tang Tu frowned, "Here you go, you need it more than me." ”

Munster didn't say anything, and picked up the "mask" with trembling hands.

"Ding Dong" system prompt sounds: Give Munster. Klewal. Frankenstein's "mask", gaining Munster's favor and increasing intimacy with NPCs a little.

Munster whispered a spell, and the "mask" changed in his hand, and in the white light, the "mask" changed from a card to a real mask, a white and transparent "human skin" mask.

Munster covered his face, and almost instantly the mask fit to his skin, and the soft white light flashed, and Munster's face changed, no longer distorted, no longer gray and ugly, although not charming, but already handsome.

The "Ding Dong" system prompt sounded again: Get Munster's friendship and get Munster's return gift "Munster's Mask".

Munster's Mask: Wears and uses it to randomly change the player's appearance for 30 minutes, and can only be used if the intimacy with NPCs is higher than 50. The accompanying picture is a transparent flesh-colored mask, with a star of four stars.

Wow, a four-star energy card, there is no N mark to materialize.

Tang Tu snickered in his heart, it seems that the game system is not too stingy. In addition, the hidden attribute of this "intimacy with NPCs" seems to be very useful, and it is estimated that the real special feature of the black gold account card is in this "intimacy with NPCs".

The smile on Tang Tu's face hadn't disappeared yet, and the white light of the switching scenes floated...

Opening his eyes again, Tang Tu found that he was still in the attic, but there were a few more people.

Victor, Justin, and Munster with a mask (Tang Tu recognized him at a glance because he had seen him look like him after wearing a mask), and a strange middle-aged man.

Tang Tu did not act rashly, and immediately sent a message to Yang Yang: What's the situation?

Yang Yang: Victor was well and wanted to come up to clean up the attic, but it turned out that there was a stranger, and it happened that Professor Wadman came to visit Victor, and I took him up to the attic, and then you came too.

Tang Tu: Didn't the two of us switch scenes at the same time?

Yang Yang: Not at the same time, the team is like this, the progress of the individual plot is decisive, and the progress of teammates is secondary. I've been here for a while, Victor's daily clothes have been washed, and you've just appeared...

Just when Tang Tu and Yang Yang were chatting privately in a daze, Victor walked towards Munster with a hostile body and said in a questioning tone, "Who are you?" Why in my attic? ”

Munster looked at Victor with a twinkle in his eyes, wondering if it was because he was happy to finally see Victor or if he was thinking about something else.

Professor Waldman, the oldest and most composed of the people present, grabbed Victor to stop him from approaching Munster, "Victor, don't get excited, don't rush close to him, there are many of us, even if he is a robber, we are not afraid..."

Professor Waldman reminded Victor with his eyes, and Victor suddenly understood, and couldn't help but look carefully at the attic and Munster.

The attic is still the same attic, but the feeling has changed. The sun was still blocked by thick curtains, only an electric lamp illuminated it, the attic was as dim as ever, and the bed in the corner was still the same bedding as before, still so shabby but clean and tidy.

Victor sniffed, and the usual rancid smell that filled the tip of his nose was gone, replaced by a fresh smell of detergent.

Looking at the person opposite, with his deep facial features and handsome appearance, and his decent conversation, if the other party was not a stranger and suddenly appeared in his attic, Victor would definitely think that this was a gentleman.

However, his character was too tall, almost the top of his head touched the roof, almost more than two meters, his figure was also very burly, much stronger than the soldiers of the gendarmerie, and the narrow attic was like a child's toy compared to him, such a strong body...

Victor's pupils suddenly dilated, and his mouth grew in surprise, yes, the person in front of him, in addition to his appearance, reminded him of that "monster".

"Monster" is a forbidden existence, he has never told anyone else, at this moment, Victor stared and wanted to say something, but he could only point at Munster gasping for breath, looking like an old illness had relapsed.

Everyone didn't know why Victor suddenly became like this, Professor Waldman was closest to him, hurriedly supported him and shouted anxiously, "Child, what's wrong with you, what's wrong?" ”

Munster, who was on the other side, also looked anxious and hurriedly ran towards Victor. No matter how much Victor hates him, Victor is still his "father" to him.

However, both Victor and Professor Waldman misunderstood, Victor watched Munster run towards him, as if he saw the "monster" rushing towards him, his face became even paler, Professor Wadman noticed the change in Victor, and hurriedly turned around to block Munster, and protected Victor behind him.

Munster was in such a hurry, so anxious that he forgot his strength, he pushed Professor Waldman away, and his big hands took Victor's shoulders...
