Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

At night, the temperature in the public restrooms is very low.

The hot air exhaled by the players gradually formed a thin layer of frost on the huge mirror.

The frost layer covered the facial features reflected in the mirror, and it was difficult for players to see what they had become through the mirror.However, when facing each other, you can clearly see the facial changes of other teammates.

He Xiaowei, a tall, tall and thick man, was terrified at the moment, so he couldn't help hiding in Zhou Qian's direction.

Zhou Qian asked him, "You're not afraid of ghosts, are you?"

"That, cough..." He Xiaowei blinked twice, but did not admit it.

In fact, it was also through dealing with Situ Qing this time that Zhou Qian had an unexpected harvest - He Xiaowei's skills actually matched him very well.

At the same time, He Xiaowei's character is obviously easy to obey.

So Zhou Qian decisively decided to win him over. "Don't be afraid. Follow me, I will definitely take you through the customs."

He Xiaowei looked convinced. "That's that. I've already seen it through that so-called "Check and Balance"! But, brother Zhou Qian, look, I used up half of your blood to replenish your mana! If you don't cover your back Me, you can't justify it!"

Zhou Qian suddenly asked him: "Then would you like to join my team?"

He Xiaowei looked at him warily: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Qian said: "Your gambler is right, you want to learn everything, and you don't specialize in anything. Do you consider specializing in treatment?"

He Xiaowei firmly refused. "Not consider!"

Zhou Qian was persuasive: "We have a very good output seedling in our team, he is a sword god. You and him can form a 'Sword Brave Qin Heart' combination!"

He Xiaowei hesitated for a moment: "Is that person a girl?"

Zhou Qian shook his head: "No."

He Xiaowei shook his head: "What's the point of that? I want to form a group with a girl...I want to find a girlfriend."

Zhou Qian said earnestly: "Why do you have to be so rigid about gender?"

He Xiaowei: "..."

"Anyway, I don't want to."

"Okay... we can't agree, I'm going back to my room."

"Hey, don't! The situation is so weird, shouldn't we all stay together?! Damn, although there are many conflicts between the four of us...but-"

Looking at the others, He Xiaowei said again, "We should cooperate temporarily, shouldn't we? After all, if we continue to fight, what if we all die here?"

He Xiaowei's words are quite correct.

The designer of this dungeon had really sinister intentions.

In "Apple Paradise", there is a scoring game first, and then there is a follow-up main line.The designer must have aimed to divide the player by scoring the game.

The same is true for "The Bucket List" this time. Unexpectedly, the corpse can be used to block bullets. After everyone finds the "rule" of shooting, the first reaction may be to sacrifice 2-3 players.Then they will also have disputes and split into small teams.

Although the reason for Zhou Qian's split this time was not the sacrifice, it is really difficult to cooperate so far.

Frowning lightly, Zhou Qian turned and left the bathroom.

He Xiaowei was afraid that he really didn't care about him, so he quickly followed. "Oh, okay, okay, I would like to be a nanny, no, dad, okay? Actually, I also figured it out, there are very few people who specialize in healing! Because they have no output ability at all, and they can't even spawn monsters. If I Specializing in healing...then I will definitely be the favorite of our group in the future! All of you will call me Dad!"

Zhou Qian: "Hmm...?"

He Xiaowei immediately said, "Except for you."

Zhou Qian smiled with satisfaction——Planned.

Leaving the bathroom, Zhou Qian walked along the corridor with cool lighting.

He did not go back to his room, but walked to the door of Room 701.

The little dragon with dark blue scales is still here.

Opening his eyes and looking at Zhou Qian, it laughed and jumped up and was about to jump into his arms.

Zhou Qian caught it and hugged it, then looked into the door.

In the room, Jiang Yuqing still slept peacefully.

Zhou Qian opened the door a crack, and while observing the situation inside, pushed the door open and walked in.

With the faint light from the corridor, Zhou Qian glanced at Jiang Yuqing, and found that he didn't look any younger at the moment.Then Zhou Qian turned around and faced the photo on the wall.

The light at the moment is too dark, and the tone of the photo is also very dark.

Zhou Qian couldn't see clearly for a while, so he took out a miniature flashlight that he bought in advance from his luggage.

The straight light hit the photo directly, and did not illuminate the rest of the place, so that Jiang Yuqing who was sleeping was awakened.

Through the cold light, Zhou Qian found that the photo had indeed changed.

——The seven people in the photo were originally blurred, and the facial features seemed to be smudged and blurred by the moisture of the rain.

But now, the appearance of three people is somewhat clear.

Zhou Qian was very familiar with the faces of these three people, very much like the current appearance of him, Yun Xiangrong and He Xiaowei, he had just seen them from the big mirror in the bathroom a few minutes ago.

In other words, the faces of three people in the photo are becoming clear.

And Zhou Qian's appearance and identity are approaching these three people.

By touching the photo, all three of them had a conversion rate of 40% by ten o'clock in the middle of the night.

So, after waiting for a while, will they completely become the people in the photo?

There was a sound from the bed behind him, it was Jiang Yuqing turning over.

Seeing this, Zhou Qian left 701, put Xiaolong at the door of the room and continued to squat.

After winking at He Xiaowei in the corridor, the two of them went to room 702 together.

He Xiaowei walked in while complaining. "Is it really not haunted?"

Zhou Qian said lightly: "If there is really a ghost in this dungeon, you have already been possessed."

He Xiaowei: "..."

Seeing Zhou Qian sitting on the sofa, as if thinking about something, He Xiaowei quickly sat opposite him. "I didn't dare to go in just now. What's going on now?"

Zhou Qian glanced at He Xiaowei, but suddenly asked: "How did you get into this dungeon?"

He Xiaowei didn't realize the meaning of Zhou Qian's words for a moment. "ah?"

"I suddenly thought of a question. This dungeon is a special dungeon with hidden achievements. The couple Yun Gao and I can come in because we have cleared the "Apple Paradise" with the same nature. But you don't seem to have it."

Zhou Qian crossed his hands on his lap, raised his chin and looked at He Xiaowei, "So, how did you get in? Don't tell me you were lucky. This dungeon happened to be open to you."

He Xiaowei said: "Hey? Can't it? There are people who keep doing low-level dungeons just to get tickets for hidden dungeons!"

"But I don't think you look like you. Little Viagra—" Zhou Qian said, "I did say just now that your skills match mine very well, so I intentionally drew you into the gang. But I suddenly discovered that if this is a coincidence, What if it is an elaborate arrangement?"

"What careful arrangement? I think you are a shadow of a snake. Why, when you meet a Situ Qing who wants to kill you, do you think any teammate has a problem?" He Xiaowei was a little angry, "I ask you, have I harmed you?"

Zhou Qian said: "It's not true. But it's always right to be careful. Because if I think about it, the next dungeon will be difficult. I have to make sure."

"Damn, I really didn't get the admission ticket myself. But it really has nothing to do with you when I enter this book! This is my future master's test for me!" He Xiaowei said immediately.

"Oh? Who is your future master?"

Zhou Qian asked immediately.

——There is indeed a problem behind this.

He Xiaowei said: "His name is Yindao! Let me tell you, he is super powerful! He is a god-level player! We are D-level now, do you think that in this game, players who reach S-level will be the best? Actually not at all. S-class is where it all begins!

"I heard that the god-level players in this game were selected by the gods from the very beginning, and the number of upgrades is completely different from ours! These dungeons of ours, they probably have never done it! Once they enter this game, they are S-level ! They simply have their own talents, they are naturally powerful!"

Zhou Qian asked: "How many god-level players are there?"

He Xiaowei: "It should be no more than 10!"

After a pause, He Xiaowei added: "I heard this from a buddy I met in the last dungeon. He is the apprentice picked by Yin Dao! Wow, that Yin Dao is not too good! His weapon seems to be A skull, the kind that can make everyone have nightmares. He also uses group control skills, which is quite similar to yours..."

Hearing this, Zhou Qian couldn't help but quickly start to associate.

——He speculated that it should be that 137 who asked Yindao to accept him as a disciple.Although Yindao was unwilling, but "entrusted by others", that is, entrusted by 137, he still sent himself an application for apprenticeship.

From this point of view, the reason why 137 wants Yindao to be his master is because both he and Yindao follow the group control route?

He Xiaowei continued: "Anyway, I also want to have a powerful master, so since the last dungeon, I have been squatting in places such as trading houses. In the middle of the night, I finally waited until Yindao released a request for small props news!

"I went over to have a private chat with him and begged for a hookup!

"He originally disagreed, saying that my skill direction did not match his. Who knows...

"Who knew that a day later, he contacted me again, saying that he could accept me as an apprentice, but the premise is that I have to get this copy!

"So, he gave me the entry ticket for the copy of "The Bucket List."

After hearing this, he was silent for a while, and Zhou Qian asked him again: "Is it possible, Yindao really doesn't want to accept you as an apprentice. But after someone asked him to accept him, he agreed instead."

He Xiaowei was taken aback by the question again. "I do not know then."

Zhou Qian asked him again: "God-level players... Maybe there are only 10. Have you heard of 137?"

"Ah? No, no." He Xiaowei shook his head, "Someone's code name, will it be a number???"

Zhou Qian asked again: "How well do you know Yindao's strength? Is he the most powerful among the 10 god-level players?"

He Xiaowei: "Then I don't know. But judging from the description of my dude in the last dungeon, Hidden Knife is already very invincible. As far as our level with 12 shooters is concerned, I guess he has a way to directly make all shooters Fall into sleep! Then go straight in and get the physical evidence!!"

"Let's first assume that in this game, there are very few people who can really make friends. Let's also assume that Yindao and that 137 are not particularly good friends. Then, if even someone as strong as Yindao has to listen If it is 137, according to 137's requirements, accept apprentices, give small medicines to low-level players, etc... Does this mean that maybe Hidden Sword needs 137?

"Does this further mean that 137 is stronger than Hidden Sword?"

He Xiaowei: "Brother Qianqian, I really don't understand what you are talking about."

Zhou Qian smiled: "It's nothing. I was just thinking that this 137 should be stronger."

He Xiaowei:?

Zhou Qian said happily: "In this way, although I don't know who he is, it seems that I can make good use of him!"

He Xiaowei: "Hey, brother Qian, then this book..."

Zhou Qian yawned and walked towards the bed: "Sleep, little Viagra. I guess you will know what happened tomorrow morning."

At six o'clock tomorrow morning, He Xiaowei really knew what happened.

He and Zhou Qian received the message at the same time.

[Player Zhou Qian: The conversion rate is 60%, and the conversion direction——Beihe]

[Player He Xiaowei: The transformation rate is 60%, and the direction of transformation is Dongshui]

He Xiaowei, who had slept on the sofa all night, immediately picked himself up and ran towards Zhou Qian after reading the system prompt. "What do you mean? What is Beihe and Dongshui?"

"If I'm not wrong—" Zhou Qian yawned, glanced at the system prompt, and said, "These two are names of people. There are seven people in the photo. The two of us will become two of them respectively , which are named Beihe and Dongshui."

The two finished washing one after another, ate something, and after leaving the room, they met Yun Xiangrong.

Yun Xiangrong also received a new reminder.

The person she is about to become is called Xijiang.

Hearing her name, He Xiaowei couldn't help saying: "Hiss...Xijiang, Dongshui, Beihe. Our names are all 'direction' plus words related to 'water'. It's a pity that Situ Qing didn't trigger this—"

At this time, Situ Qing walked from the room to the corridor.

Her appearance is not only that of Situ Qing herself, but also has the shadow of other people.

Glancing at the others, probably because she didn't want to die in the main storyline, she still opened her mouth to share the information she got.

"I went to Jiang Yuqing's room last night, touched the photo, and saw an officer writing a poem, and then he burned the poem. That illusion should be the same as what you saw. Now I got 20% transformation It’s just that I still don’t know the person I will become, what is his name.”

He Xiaowei blinked his eyes and said, "Anyway, your surname is probably 'Nan', and your name is also related to water."

Then the hallway fell silent.Except for He Xiaowei, basically no one spoke.

He Xiaowei looked at the other three with indescribable eyes, and always felt that except for himself, they all had evil intentions, and each one was more difficult to deal with than the other.Of course, Zhou Qian must be the big devil among them.

Until 7 o'clock in the morning, someone finally came up.

That was the security guard they met yesterday.

The security guard walked out of the elevator with a notebook and a pen, and ran into four nurses in the corridor. He said with great satisfaction, "That's great! Everyone is here!"

He Xiaowei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and boldly asked: "Really, are they all together? Don't you remember... We had six people yesterday? No, if you count Lao Yu and Lao Tie, we have eight people in total?"

The security guard looked at him in surprise: "When did it happen? You must be dreaming. Didn't you just come here? All right, as long as you are all here, my attendance work will be considered complete.

"Is Mr. Jiang awake? Take good care of him. By the way, after he wakes up in the morning, he usually reads a book for a while, and then he sleeps for a while. If you want to be lazy, you have to wait until he falls asleep. Others The floor is still closed. Don't run around!"

After telling the players these words, the security guard turned and pressed the elevator.

Zhou Qian stepped forward to stop him again. "Wait. Are you in charge of our attendance?"

——Yesterday afternoon, when they first walked into this building, Zhou Qian clearly remembered Mingming's receptionist who was in charge of attendance.Even the front desk specifically emphasized that she is responsible for everyone's attendance.

At this moment, the security guard looked back at Zhou Qian, but replied naturally: "Yes! I am responsible!"

Zhou Qian asked him: "Didn't there be a front desk yesterday? Have you never seen her?"

The security guard shook his head very confused: "We haven't recruited the front desk here? Oh, I have helped to post the recruitment notices a few times. I guess Lu Yuan's salary is low and he has a lot of work, so no one will apply for it!"

He Xiaowei felt that he was going to be a fucking master.But he couldn't help but say, "Damn it?"

The security guard shook his head: "Do you have memory problems, or do I have problems? Are you dreaming, or am I dreaming?"

Before entering the elevator, he came to his own conclusion. "You must be dreaming. I'm in the right mind!"

The security guard took the No. A elevator and left.

Now He Xiaowei basically believed in one thing - the sudden disappearance of people in this building had nothing to do with the elevator.

He seemed to be looking for someone to exchange eyes with, but it was obvious that Yun Xiangrong and Situ Qing were not in the mood.

In addition, he really didn't know how to deal with girls, so he still had to look at Zhou Qian.

Zhou Qian said: "Didn't the security tell us to take care of Jiang Yuqing? Let's go to his room and have a look. We can't go to other floors either. We can only go to 701."

As soon as Zhou Qian finished speaking, the system sent a mandatory task.

[The player triggers the main task: go to Room 5 within 701 minutes and take care of Jiang Yuqing]

In this way, the four players had no choice but to go to 701 again.

In the room, Jiang Yuqing had already gotten up.

He was reading a book quietly without any noise.

In this way, although the players are required to "take care" of Jiang Yuqing.

But after entering the room, they really had nothing to do, and there was no use for them at all.

Seeing this, He Xiaowei couldn't help but look at Zhou Qian again.

Although he thought Zhou Qian was not easy to mess with, but now Zhou Qian was indeed his only communication partner.

He Xiaowei said in a low voice: "I suddenly discovered a problem. Jiang Yuqing didn't eat or drink at all! Hey, at first, I thought that taking care of an elderly person with dementia would require some dirty work. But we didn't!

"Besides, since yesterday, he hasn't eaten anything except a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, right? That's right! There isn't even a cafeteria in this building! I even... haven't seen anything like a water dispenser at all! He doesn't Eating or drinking... is completely unreasonable!"

Zhou Qian said: "Actually, this is reasonable."

He Xiaowei:?

Zhou Qian said: "This incident can only further prove that this is Jiang Yuqing's conscious world. In real life, his dementia has reached a serious level. He doesn't remember to eat, drink water, or eat and drink.

"Maybe [Wang Ji Osmanthus Crisp] is very precious to him, and he has not forgotten it so far. Therefore, in his conscious world, the only food that exists is this one."

He Xiaowei: "It makes sense!"

Zhou Qian continued: "Actually, the same is true about this building. Generally speaking, the building will not have stairs. In reality, Jiang Yuqing may not have walked the stairs, but sat directly in a wheelchair and went to 701 via the elevator. So There are no stairs in his conscious world. Of course, maybe he walked up the stairs, but he simply forgot about the stairs.

"In addition, because of dementia and the fact that he doesn't go to other floors much, he doesn't have any impression of other floors in his memory. He doesn't know what the rest of the floors look like. Maybe the so-called cafeteria is in the He just doesn't know about the other floors. Then corresponding to this memory world, the rest of the floors will be sealed forever."

He Xiaowei: "What the hell! Wait, wait! I suddenly have a brain hole!"

Zhou Qian opened his mouth and expressed his thoughts: "So, in our current world, the reason why people disappear out of thin air one after another is because they have been forgotten."

The vase on the bedside table disappeared out of nowhere along with the flowers inside.Because Jiang Yuqing forgot.

The nurses who took care of Jiang Yuqing disappeared one by one, because he had forgotten them and could not recognize them.

The lady at the front desk disappeared, of course, because Jiang Yuqing forgot about her.

As for the faces of the seven people in that big photo in this room, why are they always blurred?

Because Jiang Yuqing forgot what they looked like.

Why did Jiang Yuqing's own facial features always appear blurred?

— because he had forgotten himself.

Turning his head, Zhou Qian looked at the picture on the wall that looked like it had been soaked in water, and said, "There are seven people in the picture. And there are six players who came in this time. One Jiang Yuqing, plus six players, is Isn't it exactly seven?"

He Xiaowei:! ! !

"The reason why this old man Jiang Yuqing became younger yesterday evening was not because he was practicing some sorcery of rejuvenation. It was just because, through yesterday's "Check and Balance" level, we helped him recall some of the past. So he remembered a little A bit like his youthful appearance."

Pointing to the photo, Zhou Qian said again, "The others are the same. I think Jiang Yuqing and these six people are all comrades-in-arms of Unit 7. It's just as if he forgot himself, he took their appearance Forgot too.

"Among the six people, we don't know the names of three others, but we at least know them now. The other three are called Xijiang, Dongshui, and Beihe."

"So I thought—"

Turning around and walking up to Jiang Yuqing, Zhou Qian knelt down and looked at his face, which was still old and his facial features could not be seen.

He took Jiang Yuqing's old hand and said in a soft voice, "Your so-called 'last wish' is actually not to forget, right?"

"Mr. Jiang, you don't want to forget the past, you don't want to forget yourself, and you don't want to forget those six comrades in arms, right?"

"You want us to help you, don't you?"

On the side, He Xiaowei, who was quietly watching all this, suddenly felt a little moved.

He actually didn't know if Zhou Qian was performing now.

All he did might be to obtain customs clearance information from NPCs.

But He Xiaowei still felt very touched.

How many precious memories should a person have in his life?

Although he feels that his life is very mediocre.

But in his opinion, he still has a lot of memories, which he is unwilling to forget until he dies.

——Going to school for the first time, making friends for the first time, dating for the first time, eating the taste of the cake for the first time, flying for the first time, taking the college entrance examination for the first time, attending an interview for the first time... He All do not want to forget.

Physical death, but if the memory survives, perhaps the person is not dead.

But if even the memory is gone...

This person seems to have really disappeared from this world.

In the warm room, Jiang Yuqing, an elderly man with absent-minded eyes, was sitting on a chair with a book in his lap, and one hand was held by Zhou Qian who was squatting down.

Zhou Qian's eyes were clear and gentle, but Jiang Yuqing's eyes were very puzzled.

After watching this scene a few more times, He Xiaowei felt that his eyes were a little wet.

Therefore, Jiang Yuqing's real last wish is not to live a few more days, nor to become younger.

He just doesn't want to forget.

Jiang Yuqing seemed to still not know how to speak, nor could he understand what Zhou Qian was saying.

So he withdrew his hand and continued to look down at the book.

Zhou Qian stood up and looked at the old photo again.

He Xiaowei wiped away tears and asked him in a low voice: "So our task..."

"Our current goal is in the right direction. The old Jiang Yuqing has seen the nurses come and go. But they are not Jiang Yuqing's most precious memories, so they are forgotten one after another.

"Jiang Yuqing's most precious memory is probably the years he spent with those six comrades-in-arms.

"Xijiang, Dongshui, Beihe... As long as we complete the conversion rate to 100%, we can completely become his comrades in arms. In this way, we can be regarded as living in his memory.

"We survived in the memory world, even if we are not forgotten, we have completed the task."

He Xiaowei still has doubts: "By the way, what happened to that young officer in the illusion of the photo?"

Zhou Qian thought for a while and said, "We previously triggered Jiang Yuqing's two states, [manic Jiang Yuqing], [senile Jiang Yuqing], that officer... I'm afraid Jiang Yuqing is also, he will be [young Jiang Yuqing]."

He Xiaowei: "How to say?"

Zhou Qian said: "Yesterday we analyzed that the manic and demented Jiang Yuqing are both unfavorable and hostile to the player, but the officer is helping the player with good intentions. Combined with today's new discovery, we can understand it from another angle Yesterday's analysis results——

"The demented and manic Jiang Yuqing is actually in an old form. Only the officers are in a young form.

"We can do an anthropomorphic treatment. When you are old, there are two people fighting in your head. One is killing your memory, killing everyone in your memory; the other is killing everyone in your memory. You are desperately protecting the people in your memory."

He Xiaowei opened his eyes wide: "Ah, I see... the young officer represents Jiang Yuqing's youthful memory, so he is protecting us!"

Zhou Qian nodded: "Yes. That's why the officer saw us yesterday and said, 'It's you who came'. The young officer is still Jiang Yuqing. He protects us in this world, and he also protects his comrades. In fact, he also protects us. his memory."

Hearing this, He Xiaowei was not happy because he was close to the real customs clearance method, but heaved a sigh, he felt very disappointed.

After about four and ten minutes, the time came to 10:8 in the morning.

Jiang Yuqing put down his book, went back to bed and fell asleep soon.

He Xiaowei dazed for a moment, thought of something, and made a serious expression. "He, he fell asleep again in broad daylight, shouldn't he—"

Before He Xiaowei finished speaking, Zhou Qian had already walked to the door of Room 701, and pushed the door open.

——Outside the door, there is no longer a corridor, but a sea.

A new world of consciousness has indeed appeared again.

This means a new level has been triggered.

A moment later, He Xiaowei, Yun Xiangrong and Situ Qing also stepped out of 701.

The moment the door was closed, the entire Room 701 disappeared.

In front of the players, instead of the original corridor, is a desolate sea.

The sea water is not azure blue, but muddled gray, and slightly yellowish and black.

In the distance, there is a line between the sea and the sky, and the sky is also gray.

In this way, this piece of sea and sky has already set the tone of this small dungeon.

——Depressed, depressed, no one's mood can be relaxed.

This is a pier, and it should look quite luxurious.

Several ships and transport ships are moored here.But there were no dock workers, and no tourists coming and going.

The sea area and the pier were silent.

If you want to explore, you have to go to the city.

Looking straight ahead, there is a sign directly in front of the three players.

It read: "September XX37, Baicheng, West Wharf."

Zhou Qian lowered his head and looked at his clothes—he was no longer wearing a nurse uniform, but a military uniform with a "7" written on it.
