Gamers Are Fierce

Nothing done.

Chai Chai narrowed his eyes, but his tone remained calm, I am thinking about some world problems that have troubled me for many years.

For example, if an oyster is cooked, it is still not an oyster;

If a person commits suicide, is there one more person who commits suicide in the world, or is there one less person who commits suicide?

When Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were in Taoyuan, did they have to kowtow to the statue of Second Master Guan to become sworn brothers?

I feel that if I can decipher these world problems, the Nobel Prize will not be far away from me.

At this moment, she replaced Li Ang's identity, inherited all of Li Ang's interpersonal relationships (although there were only a few contacts), and also inherited Li Ang's speaking style and word usage habits.

According to the analysis of the brainworm think tank team, the similarity level in a short period of time can reach more than 90%, which can fully cope with most situations.

...

Wang Congshan's voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment.

What's wrong?

Miss Chai frowned instantly, Is there something you want to tell me?

without,

Wang Congshan took a breath, her voice seemed a little low, It's just that I've been in a bad mood recently...

Can you come out and have a meal with me?

————

Li Ang, who was far away working on the script, did not know what was happening in the real world.

The moment the feeling of weightlessness caused by stepping into the aperture disappears,

He suddenly released the swamp divine power and psychic powers, sweeping out in all directions, mapping the terrain and detecting potential hostility.

No suspicious target found...

Li Ang opened his eyes and felt the subtle shift in his body's center of gravity, reminding him that he should be standing on the ground in a standing position at this moment.

here it is...

His current location should be inside a metal container.

The container is narrow and cramped, and the entire interior is human-shaped.

The inner wall is inlaid with a large number of dense metal spikes, just located at the eyes, shoulders, arms, thighs, etc.

Iron lady?

Li Ang frowned slightly. The Iron Lady was a torture device in medieval Europe. It was composed of hinges, nails and two door covers. It could hold a person and looked like a mummy coffin.

When used, the executioner will lock the victim into the Iron Lady and close the two door covers, causing a large number of nails to penetrate into the victim's body, continuously injuring and intimidating the victim, in order to achieve the purpose of torture or torture.

The Iron Lady torture instrument that Li Ang was sitting on was made of unknown materials. The nails inside were able to pierce the dragon head's white coat and pierce the mirage dragon's red mane coat.

The mirage's red hyena coat is very efficient at absorbing energy attribute attacks and can also absorb kinetic energy impacts. However, because it is hand-woven by Li Ang himself, there are narrow gaps between each strand of red hyena.

The spikes on the inner wall of this Iron Lady are slender and sharp, like a knitting needle penetrating a sweater. Some of them have already penetrated the mirage's red hyena coat.

If Li Ang's skin and muscles hadn't automatically changed their shape and actively contracted an inch or two inward, he would have been stabbed to pieces at this moment.

Will these nails extend forward on their own initiative?

Li Ang frowned. In order to enhance the torture effect, movable iron nails were installed on various parts of the inside of the real Iron Lady, which could change the puncture position and intensity, prolonging the victim's pain.

At this moment, in the Iron Lady where he was, the spikes on the inner wall were slowly extending inward at a slow and steady speed, with no intention of stopping at all.

Fully automatic torture device? Or is this controlled by the outside world?

Various possibilities intertwined in Li Ang's mind,

His lowered palms were slightly opened, and a huge amount of vine fibers were released from the tips of his ten fingers.

First, it wrapped his body to prevent him from being stabbed by nails.

Then it multiplied rapidly, shuttled in and out of the gaps between the spikes, and filled the entire torture device.

Click——

The huge number of vines gather huge strength and support outwards,

Accompanied by the heartbreaking sound of the metal door bolt turning, the two door covers of the metal torture instrument were forced open a gap.

call....

Among the wildly dancing vines, Li Ang slowly climbed out of the metal torture instrument and slapped it on his body. The hole on the outside of the dragon's white coat instantly returned to its original state.

The red hyena coat is still a little lacking in defensive performance against such purely physical sharp stab damage...

He sighed. Under his white coat, the skin that had automatically evolved into pore-like depressions (to prevent being punctured by nails) gradually returned to normal.

No longer the strawberry-like form that would make trypophobics scream.

What about the rest...

Li Ang stood there and looked around,

This place is roughly a dark square room with a large area, and there are a large number of identical iron ladies on the floor.

All torture instruments are arranged neatly like chess pieces on a chessboard.

Some are tightly closed,

Others are left open, revealing hollow interiors.

With the help of night vision enhancement spells and biologically modified eyeballs, Li Ang could clearly see that many of the open torture instruments had long-dried black blood stains on them.

There are withered and shriveled fleshy residues left on the tops of the spikes.

There were also large pools of dried blood on the floor of the hall.

What is this, a place dedicated to placing torture instruments?

Li Ang frowned slightly. After he stepped into the aperture, he was directly transported to the torture device.

The large-scale detection of psychic powers did not detect that there were intelligent creatures like him in this room.

In other words, it was the aperture teleportation array that dispersed and teleported everyone to different locations.

Strange, is the purpose of the aperture teleportation just to kill the players? Or is this a part of the trial? However, there are so many coffins and torture instruments here, which does not meet the definition of a 'holy mountain'...

Li Ang was muttering to himself, and suddenly, there was a noisy and chaotic sound in his ears. It was indistinguishable between male and female, but it also revealed a solemn and sacred sound.

[Find...the way to climb up, and complete...your...trial]

The sound seemed to have poor contact and was intermittent, but it was definitely not a sound forged by psychic energy or other power systems.

The way up?

Li Ang looked around the room. There was no obvious trap door on the ceiling, but there was a door at the end of the room that looked like it could be opened.

Li Ang did not leave in a hurry, but picked up the Inazuma Eleven walkie-talkie given by Hohenheim and pressed the button, Hello? Hello? This is Li Risheng, can you hear me?

There was a tingling sound of electricity from the walkie-talkie, and for a moment, Shinji Din's voice sounded on the channel, Yes.

Being able to hear it proves that the straight-line distance between the two sides is less than ten kilometers.

Li Ang was convinced and asked: Did you hear the prompt tone just now? Where are you now?

I heard the prompt just now, let's find the way up. That shouldn't be a system prompt, but some mechanism automatically triggered by this area.

Now, ahem, I should be in a closed room with a large number of humanoid stone statues. The statues here may be to commemorate the brave men who came to the Holy Mountain in the past...

Din Shinji said: Some of them have been destroyed, and the total number of remaining ones is four hundred and seventy-seven.

Wait, the statues of the brave team on the mural we saw in the underground palace are also here, placed at the front of all the statues.

There are also their statues in the middle of all the phalanxes of statues...

Let's talk later, I have someone here.

Li Ang's ears twitched, he pressed the off button of the walkie-talkie, and quietly slipped into a semi-open torture device, shrunk and hid.

Tread, tread, tread.

An orange light lit up at the end of the room,

There were rather strange footsteps,

It was like someone was wearing a pair of extremely large boots, which were soaked with water and stepped on the marble floor, giving people a sticky and dragging feeling.

The room was still dim. With the benefit of the group night vision spell, Li Ang could clearly see,

A pair of strong and thick legs stepped slowly from the end of the room, flashing out of the blind spot of the torture device and appearing in Li Ang's eyes.

This visitor looks very...weird.

Below him grew two legs that were as muscular as a macho man's.

The legs were not wearing pants or shoes, but were inlaid with a large number of sharp metal flakes, which penetrated deeply into the skin and muscles, forming brownish-yellow pus and blood scabs at the wounds.

Some scabs have fallen off, and pus and blood are falling down, which makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at them.

He, or rather, the bottoms of his feet are covered with octopus-like suckers, and a transparent liquid that is thick and constantly exudes a pungent smell is secreted between the suckers.

When stepped on the ground, it will make a sizzling sound.

The upper part of its body is even more curious.

Basically a spherical mass of human arms, nearly two meters in diameter,

The arms come from a variety of sources, with different skin colors and shapes. One green arm is even as strong as an industrial crane arm.

It seems to come from different hosts.

A dozen arms extend out from both sides of the spherical polymer, holding different things.

Including but not limited to a kerosene lamp that looks particularly old and broken, a slightly rusty sword, a flintlock gun, a set of props for holding prisoners (handcuffs, shackles, etc.)...

The most noteworthy thing is that in the strong green arm, there is a black keychain.

There are dozens of keys hanging under the key chain,

As this strange-looking creature walks, it makes tinkling sounds like wind chimes.

Is this from the Silent Hill set?

Li Ang was hiding in the Iron Lady's torture instrument. The vines extending from his fingertips held him firmly in place, preventing him from coming into contact with the spikes inside the torture instrument.

The nails on the inside of these open torture instruments will not actively extend like the previous ones.

But one thing is the same.

The tips of all nails are coated with some kind of mineral powder...

Li Ang quietly raised his arm and gently touched the nail through the mirage's red hyena coat.

The powdery object at the tip of the nail begins to absorb energy at a slow and efficient rate after contacting the skin of the fingertip.

I see.

Li Ang's heart moved. If an ordinary brave man teleported in and was stabbed by a nail, the energy in his body would be slowly absorbed by these mineral powders.

If he were weaker, he might not even be able to break free from the torture instruments, and would be trapped alive in the iron lady. The open blood-stained torture instruments in the room silently proved this.

But why?

The purpose of aperture teleportation is to trap the brave? Or is it that the entire Holy Mountain Trial is a lie...

Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the deformed creature.

I saw it holding a kerosene lamp and seemingly walking aimlessly in the room.

After walking a certain distance, as if he suddenly thought of something, he took off the tattered mop from one arm.

It was stained with some sticky liquid from the soles of its feet and dragged up the ground with dried blood stains.

The blood stains on the ground were no longer known to be from what age. They were firmly attached to the surface and could not be removed with a tattered mop. On the contrary, the more they were mopped, the dirtier they became.

But the deformed creature seemed to be unaware of it, dragging it silently on the ground.

After about three minutes, the deformed creature slowly put away the mop, as if it was slow to react, put the mop on its shoulder (that is, above the spherical polymer of the arm), and walked towards the Iron Lady torture instrument that Li Ang had escaped from before. go.

It stood before the instrument of torture, stretched out its arms,

He gently touched the torture instrument that opened a gap, but there was no blood stain inside.

Among the spherical aggregates, there was a grunt that might be regarded as doubt.

After pausing for a few seconds, he slowly turned around and walked towards the end of the room.

In another Iron Lady torture device, Li Ang narrowed his eyes as he watched the abnormal creature's action pattern.

Although that monster has a low IQ and looks extremely clumsy and slow, it should be a servant or servant in this area.

Responsible for cleaning the area, detaining the prisoners who appear among the Iron Lady, and using the handcuffs and shackles they carry to move the prisoners to another location.

interesting.

Li Ang quietly emerged from the torture instruments, his figure hidden in the darkness, stepping on the invisible stairs formed by the ladder clouds, suspended above all the Iron Lady's torture instruments,

Get closer to the wall,

At a distance, hanging behind the deformed creature, it was tracking.

He wanted to see what kind of behavior pattern this creature would have.

The deformed creature didn't know that there was a stalker behind it. It silently walked out of the room, passed through a dim corridor, and came to another spacious room.

At present, the entire building where Li Ang is located is somewhat similar to a large-scale castle.

The new room that the aberrant creature entered should be the dining room of the castle, with a long wooden dining table placed in the middle.

The aberrant creature took down a bunch of potatoes-like fruits from the cabinet next to the restaurant, and after cleaning the fruits casually with the dripping pipes on the wall of the restaurant,

Then he returned to the table, cut the fruit open with a rusty sword, and started eating.

After finishing eating, it even cleaned the long sword and the used plate, stood up unsteadily, and continued to the next room covered with soil and planted with some kind of crops, and began to water and cultivate.

...

Li Ang stared at the slow-moving deformed monster, frowned slightly, and finally stopped hiding it.

He casually released the vines clinging to the ceiling, fell from the air, and landed in front of the deformed monster that was watering the farmland.
