Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

The flowery bride, the passionate old lady, the amiable parents, the guests talking and drinking at the banquet...

All disappeared in an instant.

He Xiaowei's "husband and wife salute to each other" was completely blank.

At that moment, he should have felt lucky, and he should have a sense of joy for the rest of his life after a catastrophe.

But for some reason, looking at the empty wedding hall, he actually felt a sense of loss, as if he had really lost his bride.

After a long time to react, He Xiaowei quickly took off his wedding clothes and ran to Zhou Qian's side. "Qian'er, this..."

But Zhou Qian was facing one direction, as if he was waiting for something.

After a while, a small dragon turned over from the white wall on the side, and then jumped into Zhou Qian's arms.

Zhou Qian said without turning his head: "I see, you are sad, even the ghost bride is not willing to marry you."

He Xiaowei couldn't help complaining: "Damn Zhou Qian, your mouth is too poisonous! It's not like this when you need me to nurse you!"

At this time, everyone had a question in their minds—so, is it over?

One player was forced to marry a ghost bride, and the rest of the players were forced to watch the ceremony... Everyone was always vigilant, thinking that there might be some kind of huge danger lurking behind this.

But now the ghosts just disappeared out of thin air.Players who have been vigilant for a long time don't know whether to relax or re-vigilate to deal with the next risk.

This dungeon is really weird, so weird that their nerves are tense at any time, it seems that there is no room for relaxation.

Suddenly, another reminder came from the system.

A new exclamation point appeared on the map, requiring players to go to the exclamation point to trigger the next episode.

Everyone was familiar with that place—it was actually the wide long street that they walked back and forth twice when they first left the pier and walked into the main city.

After reading the system prompt, He Xiaowei blinked twice. "What's the matter, shall we go there now?"

Zhou Qian touched Xiaolong's head and said, "You guys go first. I'll be there later."

Hearing this, Situ Qing stood up first and asked, "Where are you going?"

Seeing that Situ Qing seemed to want to follow, He Xiaowei was afraid that he would harm Zhou Qian, so he immediately said, "Then I will follow too!"

Both of them had to follow Zhou Qian, Yun Xiangrong seemed to have no reason to go to the long street alone.

She said: "Then I will go and have a look. For the time being, the system has not set a time requirement for us to trigger the plot point of the next plot. Before we go, we need to explore freely first."

Zhou Qian didn't look at the two girls, just nodded to He Xiaowei, then left the Xitang through the back door, walked all the way to the West Wing, and then passed the courtyard behind it to the back door of this family.

Pushing open the door, there was another alley, continuing along the alley, Zhou Qian arrived at a large fruit forest.

"Why are we here?" He Xiaowei asked, taking out a powerful flashlight from his bag.

"When you went to change into your wedding clothes, I went around the alley and asked Xiaolong to help me find something." Zhou Qian pointed forward, "Here——"

Although the system explained that Xiaolong doesn't have any special skills, and his attack and defense are weak, so of course he can't help him.But its advantage is that it has the breath of human life, is completely obedient, and can walk, jump, and find things just like humans.

So, at that time, Zhou Qian's order to it was to find out if there was any place similar to a large lawn, wasteland, or garden nearby, the more open the better.If it finds such a place, it digs.

Not only did Xiaolong quickly find an empty fruit forest, but he actually dug something, so he quickly ran back to Zhou Qian and led him over.

At this moment, turn on the flashlight and shine it in the direction of Zhou Qian's finger. Everyone can see that the circle of strong light emitted by the flashlight is shaking up and down, left and right, and that's because He Xiaowei's hand is shaking violently. .

Seeing clearly what was in the forest ahead, he was so frightened that he couldn't control himself.

Zhou Qian stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder to keep him steady, then raised his arm a little higher.

In this way, He Xiaowei directly became a tool for Zhou Qian's lighting.

Zhou Qian stepped forward and looked closely at what the light illuminated - there was a huge earth pit, and buried in the earth pit were bones one after another.

This place seemed to be a temporary mass grave, many corpses were thrown here and buried hastily, so it was easy for the little dragon to dig it open.

At that moment, Xiaolong gave Zhou Qian another "beep" twice, Zhou Qian looked at it, nodded to it, and Xiaolong jumped out of his arms, and then rummaged in the pit for a while.

After a while, Xiaolong found many clues.

When a crowd of curious onlookers came up to watch, Zhou Qian put all the clues into his luggage.

He Xiaowei was taken aback: "Qian'er, what do you mean?"

Zhou Qian looked in the direction of Situ Qing and Yun Xiangrong. "My little dragon and I spend so much effort exploring, and you sit back and enjoy the rewards, how can there be such a good thing?

"If you two want to see the clues, let's go to the trading house to make a deal. I will show you the clues, but you need to make a promise that at least until the end of this dungeon, you will not mess with me or harm me."

Situ Qing frowned and said, "What if you want to kill me? If you kill me, I can't kill you to protect myself?"

"It seems that you still have murderous intentions towards me. Even if you change your mind now, I won't show you the clues. Brother Xiao Wei, let's go, let's find a place to watch alone."

Zhou Qian didn't need to look to guess that Situ Qing's face was extremely ugly.

Situ Qing was in a bad mood, but he was in a good mood.

With a happy smile on his face, Zhou Qian really took He Xiaowei to the other corner of the fruit forest.

Before leaving, he heard Situ Qing say to Yun Xiangrong: "It doesn't matter who you want to seek revenge after the dungeon is over. But now you don't have the strength to fight against anyone. I think—"

"Don't think about it. I said that the person I want to deal with is Zhou Qian. He is not a bad person, and he still has a trace of humanity. He will not touch me because of Gao Shan. But there is no way, if it is not for him, Gao Shan will not Will die. I will definitely seek revenge from him."

Yun Xiangrong's voice was very cold and deep, "I dare to destroy all my skills at this stage, so I won't be afraid of anything. Of course, you also wait. When Zhou Qian dies, if I haven't calmed down, maybe It's your turn."

"Your current skills are useless. We won't be able to use you when we break through later." Situ Qing asked her, "Are you really afraid that I will kill you now?"

Yun Xiangrong mocked: "At least I have a brain, and a brain that is much better than yours."

Situ Qing paused, but she didn't seem to be angry because of it. "Could it be that you are surrendering to me now that you are compromising your skills like this? You are expressing your determination to break up with Zhou Qian, and at the same time expressing-you just walked in front of me so unpreparedly, as long as I don't believe You can be killed by me at any time. Therefore, I should trust you, you want to cooperate with me. After all, you have no strengths, and you can only cooperate with me. "

Yun Xiangrong said lightly: "Seeing this, it means that you are not stupid."

Situ Qing asked her: "What kind of hatred... makes you not hesitate to cooperate with his enemies in order to kill Zhou Qian?"

Yun Xiangrong said: "The love of my life is dead. From now on, I will only live for revenge. Is this reason difficult to understand?"

Situ Qing asked her: "How can I guarantee...you won't take revenge on me later?"

"As I said just now, of course I will take revenge on you. It's just that Zhou Qian ranks first in my revenge priority. You can cooperate with me and solve me after you kill him. Of course, if you don't believe me, You can also kill me now. Which method is more beneficial to you, in fact, you can compare. The only thing I can promise is—"

Taking a step forward, Yun Xiangrong looked into Situ Qing's eyes and said, "During the time I'm working with you, I will never turn against you. I will arrange my revenge steps very carefully."

Having said that, Yun Xiangrong walked directly towards the mass grave. "Let's also find tools to dig. Xiaolong probably missed something too. Maybe there are other clues here."

·

On the other side, He Xiaowei listened to what the two of them said while walking away from Zhou Qian.

"Fuck, you're talking about conspiracy. They're going to mess with you!"

Zhou Qian said casually, "Then will you continue to team up with me, or with them?"

He Xiaowei said decisively: "Follow you. Women... I can't handle any of them. A woman's heart is a needle in the sea... But then again, Qianer, your mind is harder to guess than a woman's. Your heart is a needle in the Pacific Ocean... "

Out of the corner of his eye, he felt a murderous gaze glance over, He Xiaowei quickly changed the subject. "Oh, Miss Zhang, my heart has already been given to Miss Zhang..."

Zhou Qian ignored his irrelevant words, thinking that it was almost time to stay away from Situ Qing, he stopped and took out the clues Xiaolong had found. "Maybe among these clues is the story of your beloved girl from the Zhang family."

Using the flashlight, the first thing they saw was a black and white photo.

The person in the photo is easy to recognize - it's a group photo of Dongshui and Zhang's girl.

Both of them are wearing school uniforms, it seems that they were taken when they were students.

This couple is really a childhood sweetheart, and they hit it off.

After Zhou Qian saw this photo, He Xiaowei quickly took it, holding a treasure in his hands, as if he really regarded himself as Dong Shui.

Zhou Qian then looked at another photo.

It was a group photo of six people, and it said "Falcon Squad Commemorative Group Photo, December XX36."

When He Xiaowei saw it, he couldn't help but let out a "huh". "There are only six people here? Eh? There is no Jiang Yuqing!"

Zhou Qian pinched the photo and thought for a while: "Jiang Yuqing doesn't seem to be fighting at all. He should be a physicist."

He Xiaowei thought about it for a while, and said: "Jiang Yuqing and we are both members of the Seventh Army, and the seven of us are comrades-in-arms. However, Jiang Yuqing is not a soldier on the front line, but a scientific researcher, and does not belong to the Falcon Squad. Only the six of us The individual is the squad member."

"Well. It should be like this." Zhou Qian put away the photo, and then found a letter.

The letter was signed "Dong Shui", and it should be a letter he wrote to the girl of the Zhang family.

"Ah Hua, the Falcon team received a very important task, so I left Baicheng temporarily. A doctor named Jiang just came back from studying abroad. He has very important knowledge and may be able to completely change our country now. Passive fate. But because of this, he was targeted by the S Army. I heard that the people of the S Army will either capture him alive and let him serve the S country, or they will kill him.

"The Falcon team needs to escort him to Nancheng. It's going to be difficult and dangerous, and I really can't guarantee that I can come back alive. The marriage contract between us was originally a joke of our parents, so it can't be true. I have gone north to meet with the rest of the team. The members meet. If you don't see me back in a year, you can find a good man to marry. Don't delay because of me."

After reading this letter, a part of the buried historical truth was truly revealed.

That Dr. Jiang must be referring to Jiang Yuqing.

It seems that he is indeed not a member of the Falcon team.He and the Falcon team belong to the Seventh Army and are very important researchers.In order to protect him from being captured by the enemy, the task of the Falcon team is to escort him to Nancheng.

Zhou Qian couldn't help but think - Yun Xiangrong said, Jiang Yuqing likes Beihe.Could it be that he fell in love with Beihe while the Falcon team was protecting him while fleeing?Does Beihe like him?

On the side, after receiving the letter, He Xiaowei carefully read it three times, and asked Zhou Qian: "If I understand correctly, this... this..."

Zhou Qian said: "You understand correctly. Dong Shui never married a girl from the Zhang family, nor did the Falcon Squad and even Jiang Yuqing come to Baicheng to attend the wedding banquet. Judging from the meaning at the beginning of this letter, Dongshui only married after leaving Baicheng. He wrote this letter. When he wrote the letter, Jiang Yuqing was probably by his side. So deep in his consciousness, he has the memory of this letter."

He Xiaowei couldn't help saying: "According to your opinion... Maybe all of this is Jiang Yuqing's wish?"

"He should have been to Baicheng when he was young. Otherwise, in the depths of his consciousness, there would not be such a realistic urban environment. Then, what we see now... can be regarded as half true and false. What is going on? Gotta look back."

After Zhou Qian said this, he looked at the last two clues that Xiaolong had found.

The first was a piece of red cloth, like a piece torn from a red wedding dress.

The other thing is a red embroidered shoe, which also looks like it was worn at a wedding.

When he saw these two things, He Xiaowei's hands couldn't help trembling. "This, this will not be..."

Zhou Qian didn't say much, just handed him these two things, and then walked towards the long street. "Go to the next exclamation point. By the way, where is the military uniform you took off before? Didn't it fall into that family's house?"

"No! I put it in the bag." He Xiaowei said.

"very good."

"The military uniform... useful?"

"It's useful. Just wait. After laying the groundwork for so long... the big show is probably coming soon."

·

A while later, Zhou Qian and He Xiaowei arrived at the exclamation point first, while Situ Qing and Yun Xiangrong arrived late.

It was near sunset when they first came to this long street.

But now the whole street is shrouded in darkness.

A crescent moon hung high, illuminating the road white.Two rows of street lamps stand quietly on this long street, looking like twinkling stars from a distance, echoing the moon in the sky.

With the light of the crescent moon, Zhou Qian saw the beggar he had seen by chance through Xiaolong's eyes before.

The little girl was still squatting on the corner of the street holding a tattered bowl.

But different from being alone before, this time she has many children behind her.These children were male and female, tall, short, fat, and thin. Some looked older, maybe sixteen or seventeen years old, but some seemed to be only six or seven years old.

What they have in common is obvious, their faces are all dirty and their clothes are very tattered.

Of course, they all have no feet.

This group of children originally stayed in place and did their own things.

But after Zhou Qian and his party arrived, their eyes immediately looked over.

Under the moonlight, the eyes of these children were all faintly shining.It was the eyes of a hungry wolf seeing food.

He Xiaowei was the first to retreat.

Ghosts are already scary to him.The ghost bride and ghost doll are the scariest among them, after all they are the protagonists of countless horror stories.

He Xiaowei really didn't expect that in such a short period of time, he would bump into both of them.

He Xiaowei was the first to retreat, but he was also the first to be noticed by the kid.

A child about eight years old jumped at him first.

He Xiaowei screamed immediately, and was surrounded by seven or eight little ghosts in an instant.

In a short while, not only him, everyone was completely surrounded by seven or eight little ghosts.

He Xiaowei didn't scream anymore, because a kid directly blocked his mouth, and he almost felt that he couldn't breathe anymore.

At this moment, even Situ Qing came out with the bell and used a trick to summon Feng Xue, trying to deal with the kid.

But it doesn't help at all.I am afraid that these ghosts are not afraid of swords and guns, nor are they afraid of severe cold.

Zhou Qian glanced at the situation of the other three players, and then at the children surrounding him.

A very young child jumped onto his shoulders and touched his neck. The cold breath directly hit his ears. Zhou Qian felt that it was even colder than Situ Qing's ice and snow.

The other child was hanging upside down with his legs crossed around his neck, and his hands were hanging down, flapping on his top.

The clothes and pants on Zhou Qian's waist and thighs were not spared either, and countless pairs of ghost hands quickly slid over those places.

But soon Zhou Qian found out—they were just looking for hidden pockets in their clothes and trousers.

Their purpose seems to be only money, not to hurt everyone.

In this way, Zhou Qian stood very calmly, and divided his fascination into two directions of the long street to wait and see.

Soon he saw the scene he wanted to see - Fatty and Thin appeared.They held a lot of things in their hands, probably like blood and spells.

Of course they came to exorcise ghosts again.

Hiding behind the street lights, they looked at Zhou Qian and the others curiously, and seemed to be thinking about the best way to act.

Pretending not to see anything, Zhou Qian withdrew his gaze, and then looked at the other three players.

They were all haunted by ghosts and tried to get them off of them, but the more they resisted, the more they became entangled.

Among them, Yun Xiangrong is the calmest.Probably after Gao Shan died, she felt a little more sad than heartbroken.But even so, facing such a scene, her face was still a little pale.

After all, it was different from the previous wedding scene, although there were many ghosts there, none of them would touch her.Now these ghosts wrapped her tightly, every finger, every breath brought a bone-chilling chill.

Beside her, the iceberg beauty Situ Qing couldn't help breaking her defense.

The underworld seems to have opened the door, and when every ghost hand slapped and slid past her body, she felt creepy, as if she was about to be dragged into hell...

Zhou Qian was distracted for a second, thinking about whether he would feel scared under normal circumstances.

He felt that he should be afraid.But it's a pity that his current emotional perception has obstacles, so that he is not afraid at all.

Recovering his senses, Zhou Qian was relieved when he saw the three players being entangled by the little ghost. Under the pull of the little ghost, he kept retreating back at a leisurely pace.

After a certain distance from the three of them, he spoke to the kid by his neck. "Want to steal something?"

A little ghost spoke very deftly: "If you want to pass by the West Wharf, you have to leave money to buy the road!"

"Yo. You are very small, but you are very skilled in doing bad things."

After Zhou Qian said this, he probably knew the background of these children.

This is an era of war, and there are too many people who don't have enough food and clothing.

And the coastal cities would be a little more prosperous in that era.

In places like the wharf, there are many dignitaries coming and going.As a result, homeless children gradually formed a small organization, often stealing or robbing in groups in this place.

In broad daylight, they would probably keep a low profile in consideration of the patrol, just beg for food obediently, or look for opportunities to steal things.

But at night when there are few people, they will grab it openly.

Zhou Qian couldn't help but think, this is Jiang Yuqing's conscious world, and everything is not fabricated out of thin air.

The wedding between Miss Zhang's family and Dongshui may not have actually happened, but it may be Jiang Yuqing's wish and imagination. He very much hopes that his comrade-in-arms Dongshui will get his wish and live a happy life, so Dongshui's wedding will be in his consciousness space. exist.

As for the robbery by the little beggars...

He would never have fantasized about being robbed, so the scene in front of him probably came from the personal experience of the elegant scholar Jiang Yuqing.

A person like him, surrounded by a bunch of little rascals, must not know what to do.

Thinking of him rushing to run errands while being entangled by hooligans, but facing a bunch of children who are not fed enough and not warm, he can't bear to be harsh and full of sympathy, Zhou Qian thinks that scene must be very interesting .

Of course, Zhou Qian analyzed this scene not to make fun of Jiang Yuqing.

He actually captured a very important point - the existence of these children in the conscious world must be because they have a deep influence on Jiang Yuqing.

Zhou Qian said in his heart, then what he will do next will depend on his own judgment through this incident.

A moment later, on the street with his back to his three teammates, Zhou Qian took out his military uniform from his bag.

He made a point of showing the area marked "7" and then gave the kids a "shh" finger.

The eyes of these little ghosts lit up all of a sudden, and they quickly laughed.

They all seemed to be very happy, and some of them had high-fives. They seemed to want to shout out loudly, but they were reluctant to lower their voices after being reminded by their companions.

"It belongs to the Seventh Army!"

"It's actually a member of the Seventh Army!"

"You are here to fight the S Army! I knew you would come! Beat them all away!"

"Great, I'm going to tell someone! I'm going to tell someone!"

"I'm going too! I want to tell everyone in the city!"

In an instant, the seven or eight little ghosts surrounding Zhou Qian disappeared.

He Xiaowei couldn't help but collapsed. After quickly pushing away a few little ghosts and being quickly entangled again, he could only shout hopelessly: "Qian'er! Qian'er, save me! My Qian'er! Oh, I'm going where have you been--"

Suddenly turning his head, He Xiaowei saw Zhou Qian who was alone under a street lamp not far away, not haunted by any ghosts.

He immediately opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Qian'er! How did you do that?! How did you let them leave! Teach me! Help me! I'm about to be eaten! Ahhhh, I'm going to the small Where do you touch the rabbit!

After He Xiaowei shouted loudly, Situ Qing and Yun Xiangrong also immediately looked towards where Zhou Qian was - how could he always find a solution so quickly?

But before the three could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw an even more terrifying scene.

——Those seven or eight little ghosts did leave, but soon, they jumped out from all the alleys connected to the long street.This time, not only did they come back by themselves, they also brought a group of ghosts.

Men, women, tall, short, old people, children, and even babies climbing on the ground... a large group of ghosts flocked to the player like a mountain.

Each ghost has a pale face, and together they seem to be brighter than moonlight.

They all have no feet, but they can float towards the group of players very quickly.

He Xiaowei's legs softened and he knelt down completely. "My mother, I have seen it... What is a ghost mountain and a ghost sea..."

And at this moment, he suddenly heard a child's voice behind him.

"Brother, sister, come, come with us. We can deal with these ghosts."

Looking back, He Xiaowei saw two children, one thin and one fat. They had normal faces and had feet.

Finally seeing someone, He Xiaowei heaved a long sigh of relief.

Immediately, the fat boy took out a bottle and spilled black blood around the three of them, and the thin man next to him followed closely and sprinkled a few talisman papers.

At this moment, the dozens of children surrounding the three of them disappeared in an instant.

Seeing how powerful the two children are, He Xiaowei immediately laughed. "Fuck, awesome! Hey wait, before Qian'er said that there were people exorcising ghosts outside the wedding, couldn't it be you?"

The two children nodded, and then urged them to leave quickly.

Xiaopang said: "There are too many ghosts here. We don't know if we can deal with them. In short, you go with my brother first. I will stay and seal them as much as possible, lest they catch up!"

Da Shou held Situ Qing's hand who was closest to him. "Yes. Sister, let's go."

The word "sister" seemed to make Situ Qing feel briefly dazed.

Then she nodded, raised her foot, and planned to run away with the two children.

Not far away, a large group of ghosts were swarming out of the alley and running towards this place.

If they wanted to harm someone, Zhou Qian would undoubtedly be the first victim.

However, the bright moon was shining in the sky, the street lamps were like stars, and a mountain of ghosts rushed over... Zhou Qian stood in front of such a background with a blank expression on his face, like a bystander who had nothing to do with himself.

He turned his back to the group of ghosts and looked at the two living children from a distance.

Big Shou took Situ Qing and his party to leave, while Little Fatty sprinkled dog blood and threw talisman papers along the road, both of them looked very nervous.

Squinting slightly, Zhou Qian held up his left hand, entered the system panel, and quickly sent two messages.

Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

——I was at the top of the branch level before, and I think it is more enjoyable to kill Situ Qing.Thanks to Yun Xiangrong for saving her life.Indeed, what's the use of killing a puppet?

Destroy all the beliefs of this puppet, let it be completely controlled by yourself...

In this way, the master behind her will really... feel angry.

At this moment, outside the instance, the game hall - A711.

In a box.

On the wheelchair, the pale and sickly boy was watching quietly with a tablet in his arms, but he hadn't sent any news for a long time.

Sitting next to him was a man with a calm face that was hard to see through.It was the pastor.

The pastor asked him: "Mu Sheng, you haven't sent messages for a long time, do you really ignore her?"

Mu Sheng pursed his lips tightly and did not answer.

The pastor said again: "Oh, I see. You want her to be in danger? After she is in danger, you will issue instructions to save her at a critical moment... so that she will appreciate you and can't do without you?"

Mu Sheng picked up his cup and took a sip without comment. "She really hasn't grown. She can't even see such an obvious trap."

The pastor smiled and said, "In my opinion, it's not that she hasn't grown up. I'm afraid it's the child's 'sister' that made her feel soft."

After saying that, he caught a glimpse of a smile in Mu Sheng's eyes, and the pastor said again: "So you see, she cares about you. And you still care about her. I advise you to send a message to remind you. Otherwise... I'm afraid You will be preceded by Zhou Qian."

"Zhou Qian..." Mu Sheng's eyes suddenly became extremely cold, "Even if such a thing is used, I... must let him die in this dungeon!"
