Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

Zhou Qian is crazy.

He must be crazy.

This was the thinking of Qi Liuxing, Gao Shan, Yun Xiangrong, and even Zhu Qiang and Yu Xian.

But seeing him picking up the apple and about to bite it, the other three players had to go to the other side of the lake, to Yibo's side, as he said, carefully and helplessly... Each of them pulled out an apple. his hair.

Qi Liuxing and Gao Shan didn't have the nerve to say anything.

Before pulling out someone's hair, Yun Xiangrong mumbled a few words: "There is a wrong and a debt, Zhou Qian asked us to do this!"

Yi Bo: "..."

After a while, the three of them returned to the shore of the lake each holding a hair.

Zhou Qian walked over with an apple in his hand, and sat next to Yi Bo again.

But he didn't eat the apple right away, he leaned against the giant tree and closed his eyes to rest his mind, as if he wanted to rest.

The three players on the other side of the lake seemed to know why he did this, so they didn't say much. They just sat down on the spot, resting and resting, while quietly waiting for a certain moment to come.

Yu Xian in front of the phone screen didn't react.

He asked Zhu Qiang: "What does this mean? Although I also find it incredible, but Brother Qian wants to eat apples?"

Zhu Qiang thought for a while and said, "I see, he has to wait until 0:45 to eat the apple!"

The sadistic ceremony starts at 10 o'clock and ends at 12 o'clock.

The goddess announced at that time that the palace will open in an hour, which is 1 am.

Fifteen minutes after eating the apple, the person who successfully transforms into a god will be attacked by the great god Yibo. If he escapes and survives his attack, he can become a real god, that is, achieve the ultimate hidden achievement.

Explaining the rules to Yu Xian again, Zhu Qiang analyzed: "Brother Qian probably will be stuck for 15 minutes. He eats the apple at 0:45. If he succeeds, he will be attacked at about 1:[-] in the morning. At this time, the palace The gate will open. He still has a chance to escape the paradise and pass the level successfully!"

Yu Xian: "So that's how it is... That is to say, when Yibo makes a move, as long as Brother Qian runs out of the paradise in time, even if he successfully clears the level, the game is over! Now that the game is over, even if Yibo's moves are released, it won't be too late. It will hit him again! Then he will be considered as having fulfilled the conditions for transforming into a god, and will obtain the ultimate hidden achievement!"

"Yes. Brother Qian should be planning this."

"But even so, with a god-like existence like Yibo, his attack power is terrifying, how can Brother Qian run away?"

"After transforming into a god, his blood volume will become very thick, maybe there is still a chance?"

"No chance. It's not as good as Xiao Qi's younger brother's scraping master's skills. Master Yibo will instantly kill him!"

"Actually, what I'm most curious about is not how Brother Qian avoided the damage in the end. Logically speaking... why does he dare to bet when he counts every step so well? With only a 36.8% chance of becoming a god, how can Brother Qian guarantee that he will be able to do so?" Can it pass the test?"

·

in-game.The time slowly went to 0:45.

While playing with the apple in his palm, Zhou Qian looked at Yibo beside him.

His body was once again entangled by branches and leaves, and then covered by fallen flowers. At this moment, he was gently closing his eyes.

Zhou Qian asked him softly: "Your apple, shall I eat it?"

Opening his eyes, Yi Bo looked at Zhou Qian with a slight smile.He asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

"It seems that there is nothing to be afraid of." Zhou Qian's dark pupils were unpredictable, with a hint of madness, "I just... feel the pain you have experienced before."

As if seeing something in Zhou Qian's gaze, Yi Bo said, "I feel that you are looking forward to this kind of pain instead."

"Really?" Zhou Qian nodded thoughtfully, "Maybe. I haven't known what pain is for a long time. I have lost all feeling. So I think... my physique must be suitable for transforming gods. I Willingness to suffer."

Yi Bo said: "It seems that you are a gambler."

Zhou Qian didn't answer him directly, but suddenly said: "Your body is actually this tree, or in other words, its appearance is very close to this tree, at least you and the tree are mutually dependent?

"The countless apple trees on the other side of the lake are all illusions, or the illusion created by your spiritual power. They didn't bear apples because of you. Only the tree that entangles you can absorb your blood and bear fruit. Apple...you repair each other and live together?"

Yi Bo didn't answer, but seemed to acquiesce to Zhou Qian's guess.

So Zhou Qian asked again: "So many people died here, but all the flesh and blood are gone. They were absorbed by you and the tree? So has your strength increased? If I am a gambler as you said just now, now I become your believer, I make a wish to you, can you increase my lucky value?"

Zhou Qian's voice became very gentle, and his words were very inductive.

It seems that he is not believing in the Great God Yibo at all, but is leading the Great God to believe in him.

Yi Bo stared at him and shook his head: "I can't. I don't have the power to fulfill people's wishes anymore. I didn't lie to you. Human power is useless to me. Killing them will not make me stronger."

"Okay. Then I'll take a gamble." After saying this, Zhou Qian looked at Yi Po and smiled, and then he picked up the apple neatly and took a bite.

"Someone led me into this game." Zhou Qian gnawed a crisp apple slowly, and said lightly, "I actually don't know who controls this game, and I don't know where the so-called copy is located. What kind of dimension. But all the rules in the current game have something in common with many games I have played.

"In fact, just like people, games also have personality traits. Players can feel the character of the designer behind the scenes by playing the game. Playing until now, I have discovered some traits related to the designer of the copy of "Apple Paradise"— —

"He likes to tease people. He likes to see people regret it."

"First, the game started out as a small scoring game. The reason is to find 'false believers'. Most players will form gangs in this link, so they split up. They have little possibility of cooperation in the future. This has been decided , players will work together to fight against the believers of the gods, and the possibility of obtaining hidden achievements will be very low.

"At that time, no one would have thought that in fact, the goddess and the great god don't care about the authenticity of the believers, and they can pass the customs peacefully."

"Secondly, during the god-abusing ceremony, players will definitely think that it is the wisest choice not to hurt you. But this will instead make them encounter terrible pursuits in the follow-up link..."

"Third, after the god-abusing ceremony is over, most players guess that believers eat apples to turn into gods and attack themselves, and they will think that it is the best policy to go to the tree house and hide. baffling.

"What they never expected was that in the end, there were only seven believers who turned into gods, and as long as 7 minutes passed, the great god would kill all the believers who turned into gods."

"These traps reflect the character of the dungeon designer.

"He wants to see the regret that the player will feel after knowing the truth - it turns out that it's so easy to pass the level? It turns out that it's so easy to get the hidden achievement... If only I wasn't so afraid of death..."

"According to this logic, I have enough confidence to continue to deduce——

"After getting the hidden achievement, when they heard that there is an ultimate hidden achievement, but found that the chance of becoming a god is only 36.8%, most people would choose to give up, thinking that they dare not bet.

"But according to the designer's urgency, I guess... In fact, for the player, the success rate of this link is basically 100%, as long as he is willing to bear the pain."

Looking at Yi Bo with a smile, Zhou Qian's eyes shone faintly.

"So God, you don't need to give me luck. I have enough confidence...to become a god like you."

The game designers tried to divide the players by scoring mini-games at the beginning of the dungeon, preventing them from cooperating in the future.

Zhou Qian's choice was to hold all the gold coins and useful props in his own hands.

In this way, he has enough chips to become the master of the game.

——There is no need to persuade everyone to cooperate, he directly manipulates everyone to act according to his ideas.

He's put himself in the driver's seat from the start.

And he actually has such ability.

With just a few plot details, he even grasped the mind of the game designer.

Regarding Zhou Qian's words, Yu Zhu and the two were stunned and amazed.

Both of them couldn't speak a word, and while they were still digesting and reacting, they suddenly found that Zhou Qian's body had changed—a red light appeared all over his body, and his pupils turned white...

He really succeeded in transforming into a god!

·

Zhou Qian could feel something called pain taking root in his body.It has not sprouted yet, not enough to make people really feel pain, but it will make people feel an inexplicable sense of dryness all over their bodies.

It seemed that he had to go on a killing spree to get rid of his boredom.

Zhou Qian stood up immediately, looking around for prey.

Beside... there are living things around!

Hmm, no...he has a painful breath on his body, he should be his own kind...

Thinking of this, Zhou Qian unconsciously walked past the Great God Yibo, then slowly crossed the bridge, and walked to the other side of the lake.

On the other side of the lake, Qi Liuxing, Gao Shan and Yun Xiangrong changed their calm posture a moment ago, and all stood up and stood ready.

They didn't move for a while, they just stared at Zhou Qian together.

In front of them, Zhou Qian could no longer see his original appearance - scales had grown on his face and hands.

It was a kind of dark blue scale, which reflected dazzling white light under the soft light of the temple.

When Zhou Qian raised his hand, people could see that his five fingers were connected together - he had grown webs.

Zhou Qian stared at the three of them, and the three of them also stared at him for a moment.

For a while, no one moved.

Zhou Qian's expression was blurred and dazed, while the three of them held Yi Bo's hair tightly, and sweat broke out on their foreheads.

A moment later, Zhou Qian grew a weird fish tail behind him, and then he dragged the tail away.

The other three took a long breath, and their tense bodies finally relaxed.

Regarding Zhou Qian's changes, in fact, everyone has a lot of doubts in their hearts.

But they didn't dare to say anything, fearing that if they were not paying attention, they would attract his attack.

In front of the mobile phone screen, Yu Xian and Zhu Qiang immediately whispered to each other.

"The evolutionary direction of deified people is related to their consciousness, isn't it?"

"Indeed. The number 1 believer became a pregnant woman monster because in her consciousness, she was pregnant. Some believers in the back knew that the lake was dangerous and could not enter the lake, so they grew wings to fly. The giant cats and cheetahs later on ...I think the situation is similar, they evolved an incomparably fast speed just to catch up with the fast-moving Qi Liuxing."

"What's the situation with Brother Qian? Why did he evolve scales? It stands to reason that there should be a warning in his subconscious not to go to the lake! Why did he become like a fish?"

"I don't know! Could it be... Brother Qian has some obsession with scales because of his experience in real life?"

Zhou Qian didn't know anything about what was going on in front of the screen, or what those three teammates were thinking.

The world in front of him has completely turned into a vast expanse of whiteness.

Unconsciously stepping on the crystal bridge, and then to the other side, he didn't know that he was going deep into the woods, he only felt that he was going... that night like a nightmare eight months ago.

That night, he drank the soup that the servant aunt handed over, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Waking up in the middle of the night, lying on the floor of the dining room, he smelled the pungent smell of gas, and for the first time felt what it was like to be on the verge of death.

At that time, he could hardly breathe, his lungs and head hurt so much that it was about to burst, and in front of him, the world seemed to be broken into countless pieces, each piece was dyed with a different color.

He knew it was an illusion caused by gas poisoning.

The hallucinatory world was full of strange lights, and then Zhou Qian saw a dragon.

As the dragon came toward him through the colorful shards, he thought he must die because he couldn't even feel pain.

His soul seemed to have left his body, floating in mid-air, watching his body become colder and colder indifferently.

But the next moment, he felt a cool, very comfortable breath.

That was the dragon's tail coiled over, wrapping his body tightly.

The soul was pulled back to his body by this icy breath, Zhou Qian regained his sense of pain, he opened his mouth to gasp, instinctively thirsting for oxygen.Afterwards, oxygen from unknown sources really poured into his body continuously.

The viscera regained consciousness, and the fragmented world was put together again. Zhou Qian knew that he was alive.

After waking up, Zhou Qian didn't remember the appearance of that dragon, but he remembered the color of its scales - it was a very beautiful, glowing dark blue, like stars deep in the sea.

The blue stars spread all over the field, forming a starry world of galaxies.

Zhou Qian saw himself playing with stars in such a world.

Fingers caressed them little by little, and it felt sticky, wet and cold.

It turns out that the stars have such a touch.

When Zhou Qian thought this way eight months ago, he smelled the pungent smell of disinfectant.

Then he woke up in the hospital, and the stars all over the sky disappeared before his eyes.

This time he still played with the stars.

Also before he had had enough fun, he woke up and found himself at the edge of a familiar lake.

Reason and consciousness returned at the same time. He looked at his watch and found that 15 minutes had passed, but he had completely lost his sense of time just now.

The moment his sanity recovered, great pain also came suddenly.

He could feel a knife stabbing hard into his heart, and pulling it out suddenly, bringing out dripping blood.

Cold sweat broke out all over the body immediately, and the clothes all over his body were soaked almost immediately.

Immediately afterwards, there was a "slap", and a slap came over. The force was so great that his eyes were suddenly plunged into darkness, and it took a long time for him to recover.

Fists, countless knives piercing the body, and even the feeling of the body being cut into pieces...

Zhou Qian experienced it all.

He fell to the ground in pain, sweating all over his body.

His hair was plastered to his temples, and his long, sweaty eyelashes made his eyes look foggy.His whole body seemed to have been washed with sweat, and his face was so pale that it was almost transparent.

But the weirdest feeling he has at this moment is that there is nothing in his heart.

He could feel as if he was tied to the giant tree and turned into Yibo.

Those believers who were desperate to avenge their kindness were venting their anger on him. When he opened his eyes, he seemed to be able to see countless believers stabbing and slapping him.

If it were his previous violent temper, he would have rushed forward angrily to fight them to the death.

But now Zhou Qian realized - he didn't feel any anger at all.

His body was in extreme pain, but his heart didn't even feel it.

When did you get sick?

Only Zhou Qian knew that it wasn't the time when his parents died eight months ago.

He was sick earlier.

At first he thought he was saved, but he felt that he was getting better.But he still lost the medicine that could save him.

After that, he gradually became terminally ill, and there was no cure for it.

Under the great pain, Zhou Qian's eyes became more and more blurred.

In front of him are no longer the green trees and the blue lake, but the scene suddenly returns to the path full of sycamore trees many years ago.

On the street at dusk, dead leaves are flying, everything is stained with an old filter.

There is a boy wearing white sneakers and blue school uniform, who is slowly fading away in this scene, until his back disappears into a dim yellow sycamore forest, and he can no longer be distinguished or seen again.

Zhou Qian wanted to chase after him, but the endless pain in his body made him lose all strength. He couldn't stand up, and he couldn't even shout: "Come back!"

Zhou Qian's consciousness was slackened, and he fell into a hallucination completely.

Until a few shouts pulled his soul back from the void.

——It was Qi Liuxing and others who rushed to the lake and called his name together.

"Zhou Qian!" "Zhou Qian!!" "Zhou Qian be careful!!!"

Zhou Qian suddenly raised his eyes, and saw the Great God Yibo who was close at hand.

Yi Bo raised a hand, his fingers were slender and well-defined, his skin was very fair, but the veins on it protruded and intertwined, making him look very powerful, able to break life and death at the snap of his fingers.

The hand moved forward gently and pinched Zhou Qian's jaw.

It seemed that Zhou Qian would have his neck broken in the next moment.

The cold, mocking, merciless, and murderous words came out of Yi Bo's mouth.His tone was still clear and light, but it hit Zhou Qian's ear like a huge wave, with thunderous power.

——"The light of the firefly, how dare you dream of standing side by side with the sun and the moon?"

Zhou Qian turned a deaf ear to it, and there seemed to be a double image in front of his eyes.

The dim sycamore path intersects, separates, and overlaps again with the blue apple paradise.

The back figure of the boy going away on the path overlaps with the gods in the paradise.He saw the boy turn his head, revealing a pair of quiet and distinct black and white eyes.

Opening his mouth softly, Zhou Qian looked at Yi Bo with a dazed gaze, but his eyes clearly looked at another person deep in his consciousness.

Then the two words he called out to Yi Bo were: "Bai, Zhou."
