Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

"The water you've drank is the sweetest, sweetie."

"I want your son."

……

Not far away lay the motionless Zhang Yanjun on the big bed. Looking at him with a big belly, Zhou Qian kept thinking about what he had said. His face, body, and even every word he said was extremely disgusting.

Suddenly, Zhou Qian's memory overlapped with the fantasy scene.

He saw Zhang Yanjun covered in blood.The bloody red was like a fire that ignited his blood at once.His whole being became angry and irritable.Every cell in him is clamoring - let him kill Zhang Yanjun.

But at the moment Zhou Qian clenched the tip of the knife, the color of blood suddenly overlapped with the setting sun again.

He seemed to have come to a certain ward suddenly. When he opened his eyes, he could see the setting sun outside the window fading into the night.

Hearing some movement, he turned his head, and immediately saw Bai Zhou beside the hospital bed.

Bai Zhou was peeling an apple.

The aroma of the apple covered up all the smell of blood, and slowly soothed Zhou Qian's restless emotions.

In this faint fragrance, Zhou Qian heard Bai Zhou's voice - he said in a somewhat emphatic tone: "The two of us have been together since this morning."

The two of us are always together.

Zhou Qian deeply remembered this sentence after experiencing great panic and worry when he was a child.

Once the incident is revealed, he will tell everyone this sentence.

Bai Zhou was his alibi.

But now when Zhou Qian recalled that memory again, he realized that, looking at this sentence from another angle, can it be understood as——

In fact, Bai Zhou was letting himself be his alibi?

Yan Ya once said something like this: "Bai Zhou called this morning...and said he wanted to send homework to Xiaoqian...I told him the address..."

After Zhou Qian ran out of the villa where Zhang Yanjun lived, only 5 minutes later, Bai Zhou found him.

So... maybe Bai Zhou had already noticed what happened?

Now recalling the past, Zhou Qian realized that his knife was indeed very shallow.

Generally speaking, it is very difficult to kill someone with broken glass without protecting yourself. If you really want to cut someone else with such force, your palm will definitely be cut.

All the memory details that were deliberately blurred by the brain because of too much pain appeared in Zhou Qian's mind very clearly at this moment.

Zhou Qian clearly remembered that he was not injured at that time.

Then, in the case that his palm was not cut at all, the wound he made should not be fatal.

After all, he had limited cognition when he was a child, and he thought that Zhang Yanjun's body was drained of blood.

Now through his memories, he found that Zhang Yanjun didn't bleed much at all, so he definitely didn't cut his abdominal artery.

In other words, the current Zhou Qian is basically certain that he did not kill Zhang Yanjun.

But Zhang Yanjun died in the end.

Who did it?

——Will it be Bai Zhou?

The distance from the hospital to Ziyan Villa is just a few minutes of running.

While he was comatose in the hospital, he could have done it completely.

But Bai Zhou...why didn't you tell me?

You who are clean and flawless, why should you be stained with this?

Closing his eyes and opening them again, Zhou Qian found that the environment in front of him had changed again.

He hooked the corners of his lips, but without hesitation, he made a movement of clenching the knife in his hand, and took a big step forward.

On the tree not far away, seeing Zhou Qian stepped into the quagmire step by step, and he didn't seem to be struggling at all, Zhu Qiang was excited——Zhou Qian had completely fallen into a dream!He is hopeless!Hopeless! !

Zhu Qiang was so excited that he even gasped for breath.

Then he watched with his own eyes when half of Zhou Qian's body fell into the quagmire, and then he struggled with his eyes wide open as if he had just woken up from a dream.

How can people struggle in the swamp?

The more Zhou Qian struggled, the faster he sank.

The endless sand is like countless ghost hands growing from the depths of hell, trying to drag him into the underworld!

Zhou Qian was hopeless.

He's dead...he's finally dead!

Zhu Qiang let out a long breath and couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Qian is dead.

Zhou Qian, who seemed to be omnipotent in heaven and earth, is dead!

Who did all this?

It's me!only myself!

Many people wanted to kill Zhou Qian, but they all failed!Only oneself succeeded!

This is certainly something to celebrate!

The pink army will also give me a lot of rewards!Maybe I can mix into the management in the future!

Zhu Qiang didn't want to hide at all.

Jumping off the tree, he couldn't help laughing, and walked to the edge of the swamp step by step.

At this moment, he couldn't help but want to show off, to walk up to Zhou Qian triumphantly, and to say to him condescendingly and imposingly—look, I killed you!So I am stronger than you! ! !

After a while, Zhu Qiang walked to the edge of the swamp.

Facing Zhou Qian's back, he yelled directly. "Zhou Qian! Didn't you expect that he would die in my hands?! Hahaha..."

In the swamp, Zhou Qian turned his head when he heard the words, and looked at him in shock, his eyes seemed to be full of disbelief: "You, you...why? Li Buhui...I have no grievances with you. Wait...just because Do you want my card? No—”

"Of course it's not just for cards. Haha, there are times when you can't figure it out, right?"

Zhu Qiang said in a mocking tone: "Oh, what Li Buhui? You haven't recognized me yet?! Hahaha! You have been deceiving others all the way. Now you are finally deceived by me, right?

"Tell you! My name is Zhu Qiang! Because of you, I was involved in this game! Yu Xian...Yu Xian was also killed by you! Today I want to avenge him and myself! I killed you... I will be the king of this game!!"

"Oh. So it's Zhu Qiang."

Suddenly, the shock and fear on Zhou Qian's face faded away, and he looked very calm.

Zhu Qiang is too familiar with his appearance - it is the expression of someone who has succeeded in scheming.

But this is impossible!

Where did he come from? !

Zhu Qiang swallowed, and continued to mock: "I know, you are very capable. Your ordinary skill is to create illusions. Last time, you relied on this to subdue Situ Qing. But did you never expect that this It was you who got caught?! You died in your own demons and dreams!"

Immediately afterwards Zhu Qiang heard Zhou Qian actually say: "Yeah, I pretended to be recruited. I don't pretend...how can I lure you out of your complacency? If you can bear it, then my bitter plan will be in vain." I acted. Thank you, you have lived up to my acting skills."

"You, you... what did you say?" Zhu Qiang's hand trembled subconsciously.

During the conversation between the two, Zhou Qian did not struggle, so his body sank very slowly.

At this moment, both of his hands were still exposed, and Zhu Qiang could see him quickly take out a mirror from the luggage.

——It was actually [The Great Teleportation Mirror of the Universe]!

impossible.

impossible……

Zhu Qiang's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

——Of course, everything today was not designed by him alone, but planned by the priest of the Pink Legion.

The pastor made a very thorough plan in advance, and from a very early stage, he intends to acquire the [Great Teleportation Mirror] in the trading house.

Therefore, in Zhu Qiang's perception, once this kind of mirror is listed in the trading house, it will be bought by the people of the Pink Army immediately. How could Zhou Qian have it? !

In addition, this is a very rare item, and the chance of opening the treasure chest is very small.

Every time the player clears the video, it can also be seen by S-level people. The priest who watched the video told him exactly that Zhou Qian did not open this kind of mirror from the box.

So how could he...

Just as I was surprised, Zhu Qiang heard Zhou Qian say: "From your expression, I can see the obvious surprise. So... the mirror in the trading house disappears as soon as it appears. It really is you who did it." .

"But you shouldn't have so much money. Um... so this matter has something to do with the Pink Legion? They actually found you. Why, high-level players can't enter the low-level dungeon, so they can only send you?"

"Where did you get the mirror?" Zhu Qiang couldn't help asking.

"My master gave it to me." Zhou Qian smiled, then took a deep breath, and sank into the swamp with the mirror.

But his body didn't enter the swamp. With this mirror, he instantly went to another place.

At the edge of the swamp, seeing this scene, Zhu Qiang almost crushed his back molars.

But fortunately, he still has a back move!

The scope of action of the Universe Teleporting Mirror is only 500 meters, so it is impossible for Zhou Qian to escape too far.Continue to the south, there is still a wetland, maybe the land is still a swamp, and even more dangerous things appear, Zhou Qian will not go there.He can only turn around and head north!

After taking out a mask and putting it on, Zhu Qiang quickly turned and walked towards the north, which is the direction they came from.

Zhu Qiang feels that he has the chance to win, because the Pink Legion has obtained part of the dungeon information.

In fact, the system originally had restrictions on this kind of thing.

If a player really knows how to pass all the levels in a dungeon, then the level of the monsters in the dungeon will increase several times at this time. In this way, even if the player knows the answer to the question, he will not be able to pass the level smoothly.

Common dungeons for killing monsters and leveling up don't matter, but dungeons involving decryption have such restrictions.

This is one of the ways the system avoids the "disclosure" of special dungeons with exploratory properties.

In addition, the player who has cleared the hidden dungeon cannot clearly provide the information, otherwise the hidden dungeon in the game will be completely closed to him from then on, and he will no longer be able to obtain the hidden achievement.

The people of the Pink Legion collected information about "Flower of Evil" everywhere, and only a few fragments were obtained from different populations. After piecing them together, there was probably a small part of information.This constitutes Zhu Qiang's current reliance.

This time, the seven of them were divided into three teams. Yin Jiujiu took the route to the west, Wu Ren and Situ Qing took the route to the east, and Zhou Qian took the southward route in the middle. dangerous.

The wetland just now is further south, and it is close to the core area of ​​the checkpoint.The information Zhu Qiang got was limited. He didn't know what was in the core area, but he was clear about the area from the checkpoint entrance to the wetland.

The player with the lowest combat power will draw the card with the highest life points.The pastor knew this information.

Yin Jiujiu, who had a grudge against Situ Qing, was of course also arranged by the pastor to deliberately attract this dungeon through Zhu Qiang.

When the players followed the witch to Mount Weier for the first time, Yin Jiujiu made a move and wanted to take the opportunity to kill Situ Qing, which was also expected by the priest.

Then, based on the conflict between the two girls, after entering this checkpoint, Zhou Qian intentionally separated the two of them and walked in the middle by himself, which was obviously within the calculation of the pastor.

Zhou Qian arranged for his teammates to split up, and he chose to walk in the middle, walked into the most dangerous area, and finally entered the swamp under the influence of hallucinations and died.

This is the result of the pastor's careful design and can be expected.

As for why the pastor was sure that Zhou Qian would have hallucinations, of course it was also because he had obtained the information.

According to the information held by the Pink Legion, the wetland has a wide range of influence. Almost all players who go directly south to the wetland will have a situation-seeing the most terrible nightmare in their memory.

The wetland is like a mirror. The looming water not only reflects the color of the sky, but also reflects people's memories.

The pictures and sounds of this memory can even be captured by plants.

It's like a lot of grass that can speak human language grows in the jungle near the wetland.

They should be thoughtless.But a certain person's fear memory was remembered by the wetland and "played" on a thunderstorm night, so the nearby plants also remembered it, and parrots would also cry for help.

"This is a very interesting dungeon. I feel that the inside of the high wall is simply a large... gene editing-related experiment. You also feel it. Sometimes we have memories of 'previous lives'. Why? Because it is very possible, Memories can actually be stored in genes and passed down from generation to generation.

"A certain device in the high wall has the function of reading genes and copying genes. When a person approaches, it reads his genes and at the same time reads his memory. It can even directly copy the person's gene Make a complete copy, and then implant it into the surrounding plants... In this way, the plants have part of the human genes and memories.

"From this point of view... the device inside the high wall seems to be the hand of God. What people, plants, animals... ultimately grow into is determined by genes. Now it smashes and reorganizes the genes of all species. What kind of world will it create?"

"Oh, I got off topic. Now let's get back to the main point. In short, a certain device inside the high wall can completely capture people's memories.

"As for the wetland, you can play the most frightening nightmare in memory to create a fantasy dream. Players will get lost in this fantasy dream, walk into the swamp, and finally die."

Zhu Qiang heard this passage from the pastor himself.

He didn't understand much about gene duplication.

But there is one thing he knows - as long as Zhou Qian faces south and approaches the wetland, he will see his most frightening memory.

Judging from what Zhu Qiang heard, many players did not escape, and all died in the swamp.

Occasionally, those who could escape, like Zhou Qian, used props that could teleport instantly after suddenly waking up.

This is why the Pink Legion will buy out all teleportation items.

It was unexpected that Zhou Qian could really obtain such a mirror.

But fortunately the pastor had a backup plan.

After all, countless people have died on this dangerous road, far more than the trap in the swamp.

Now that Qi Liuxing and Ke Yuxiao are gone, they probably also had some kind of hallucination.They didn't go into the swamp, but they must have walked into some other trap and got entangled.

With no one to help Zhou Qian, he can only be a turtle in an urn.

With the idea that he must win, Zhu Qiang wore a mask to protect himself from the influence of the wetland, and searched inch by inch to the north.

About 3 minutes later, he found Zhou Qian.

It was a place where dark green grass grew everywhere.

Zhu Qiang immediately recognized the situation of this place.

——According to the information provided by the Pink Legion, once the player enters this place, the life points will drop extremely fast.

So Zhu Qiang stopped immediately, not daring to take another step inside.

Taking a deep breath, standing outside this area, he looked up and saw Zhou Qian's condition, he couldn't help laughing again.

The dark green grass can speed up the loss of health. If the player finds this out quickly and leaves this area as soon as possible, nothing will happen.In a sense, this can also be regarded as a reminder given by the dungeon level - there are traps inside, so don't go any further.

Zhu Qiangxin said that if it was normal, Zhou Qian would definitely find out what was wrong in this area in time and leave in time.

But Zhou Qian fell into the swamp just now. When he used the teleportation tool to transfer, he must have had no time to adjust the coordinates, so he set up a random place in the north, but unfortunately, he accidentally landed here.

Or he landed nearby, and in order to avoid being caught up, he ran all the way in a hurry, so he didn't bother to check the points of life...

In short, Zhou Qian accidentally went deep into this dark green grass, and finally fell into a trap.

Zhou Qian's limbs were all entangled in the dark green grass, and he couldn't move at all.

At the same time, his health must be decreasing rapidly.

Zhu Qiang found that he didn't even have to do anything now, Zhou Qian was about to die.

"Zhou Qian, ha...you can't get out, right? What else do you have to say?" Zhu Qiang asked him.

Zhou Qian raised his expressionless, somewhat pale face.After a while, he said softly: "Before I was completely entangled in the grass, I took out the card and took a look. At the current countdown speed... I may not survive 5 minutes."

Zhu Qiang smiled as if relieved, and sat directly on the grass. "Five minutes... That's actually enough for us to chat."

"Chat?" Zhou Qian raised his eyelids to look at Zhu Qiang, and suddenly said, "Well, I really want to chat with you. Do you know, I have already suspected you."

"How is it possible?" Zhu Qiang sneered.

Zhou Qian said: "Actually, you have exposed your flaws a long time ago. I just didn't know where you came from, so I made such a test just now. Unexpectedly, you turned out to be Brother Qiang."

Zhu Qiang frowned, and asked him through the dark green grass: "Which of my words is flawed? I don't believe it."

Zhou Qian said: "When the mayor of Ryan captured Situ Qing and Yin Jiujiu, what you said - you had the chance to enter this book only by hugging Yin Jiujiu's thigh. You have to do whatever she asks of you. Listen. You're just trying to survive.

"What you want to express is that you just want to be a dungeon, and you don't want to do anything. If you don't enter the dungeon on time, you will die. You are just completing the task. But if this is the case...why do you let Yin Jiujiu bring you here A hidden copy? How risky is it.

"Into the hidden dungeon, either you want to collect achievements, quickly level up, get a lot of gold coins, meet the so-called god in this game, and let him fulfill your wish; or you have other plans. But it shouldn't be' You just want to survive'. So—

"That's when I knew you were lying."

"Cough...Okay. So?" Zhu Qiang shrugged meaninglessly, "You knew I was lying at that time, so what? You know I have other schemes. You can see that I am 'ordinary' from beginning to end. You look down on me like you can't do big things, don't you? Zhou Qian——

"Don't be second-guessing. Never mind the process. Here's the result—you've already lost!"

"...Oh, yes, I lost. I admit defeat. But what are you proud of? Could it be you who defeated me?"

Zhou Qian smiled coldly, and looked at Zhu Qiang with sarcasm in his eyes, "Just now you thought I was really caught in a trick and I was about to die, but you couldn't wait to show up right away, and even took the initiative to report your family name——

"What? Are you afraid that I will be a ghost without knowing who hurt me? Brother Qiang, you are really proud. But...

"Are you the one who defeated me? I'm afraid not. I'm curious, who is the person behind you directly directing you?"

"It was I who defeated you!"

Zhu Qiang was furious.

——Zhou Qian is simply too hateful this time, he is deliberately angry with himself when he is about to die!

But soon, after suddenly realizing Zhou Qian's purpose, Zhu Qiang laughed angrily.

After reminding himself that he couldn't fall into the trap, Zhu Qiang took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down. After a while, he even imitated Zhou Qian's usual calm expression and asked him softly: "In short, I defeated you, are you not convinced?"

"Brother Qiang, you and I know exactly who defeated me. It is the power of an army. They can deal with me like this... who knows what will happen to you in the future? Look at Situ Qing's fate.

"Why did Yin Jiujiu show up? The Legion is using her hand to kill Situ Qing. Look at Situ Qing's end, do you think you will be better off in the future?"

Hearing what Zhou Qian said, Zhu Qiang held back for a while, but he seemed unable to hold back in the end, so he burst out laughing. "Zhou Qian, sure enough, that's the purpose of what you said just now! You have no choice but to say such sobering words, right?

"Such a trick...I saw you use it on Situ Qing with my own eyes. She has a problem with her gambler, so you can succeed. As for me? Could I have fallen for it? Don't be funny, hahaha... Seriously of……

"I didn't expect to see this scene one day—you, who are at the end of the road, can use such a funny trick.

"Zhou Qian, what else do you want to say, you can say whatever you want... whatever, I won't save you! Hahaha!"

Zhu Qiang spread his hands: "Okay, I admit it. It's not that I personally defeated you. But you don't have to hit me. I can still continue to be proud. Even if the legion helped me design too much, after all, it was successfully implemented in the end. The person who has done all this is me!

"I want to defeat you and be extremely proud of it...

"You see through this, so in addition to sowing discord, you also want to disgust me one last time before you die, making me uncomfortable, right? Hahaha, unfortunately I won't. Zhou Qian, seeing you dead, as long as You die...I am happier than anyone else!"

"What's more, this proves the strength of the legion, right?

"Before, killing you in this game? I didn't even dare to think about it. But now I actually did it!!

"The pink army is really strong. They can make me kill you. Later... it will bring me, more and more.

"Zhou Qian, you will die. And I will get what I want most!"

After that, Zhou Qian fell into a long silence.

It was as if Zhu Qiang had predicted every word of his calculations.

Now even he is completely gone.He can only accept his fate.

After a long time, Zhou Qian seemed to have finally given up struggling, and he really chose to accept his fate.

His face was pale, and there was no light in his eyes.

Zhu Qiang looked up at him and heard him ask himself. "Oh? What do you want from this game?"

Zhu Qiang immediately said: "After getting close to the gods, you can grant any wish. I can even let Yu Xian come back. Right?

"Killing him at that time... I had no choice. I will let him come back!"

Hearing this, Zhou Qian smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhu Qiang asked.

——He is going to die, why is he laughing? !

But I heard Zhou Qian ask: "I laugh because...you never thought that I can be resurrected?"

"Who will bring you back to life?" Zhu Qiang smiled coldly, "Just relying on Qi Liu to go to them? They were fooled by you and became members of your team, and they will all be targeted by the legion!

"Now we are all in low-level dungeons, there are restrictions, and high-level players cannot enter, but it will be different in the future! Everyone will be promoted to S-level soon! At that time...they will meet people from the legion at any time!

"Only relying on them, can they defeat the Pink Army?"

Zhu Qiang made a conclusion with a cold voice. "Zhou Qian, everyone will die because of you!"

"I misunderstood Brother Qiang. I'm not talking about these children." Zhou Qian said, "You forgot, I just said that I have a master."

"Master? Who is your master?" Zhu Qiang narrowed his eyes.

"My master is a god-level player." Zhou Qian smiled, "So I figured it out, since I can be resurrected, what am I afraid of. My master will definitely save me. Hmm... your expression has become funny again That's it. You want to ask me who my master is, don't you?"

Zhu Qiang clenched his fists, his expression became serious.

At the same time, he found that Zhou Qian's limbs were not only bound by dark green grass at this moment, but his whole body was turning dark green almost at a speed visible to the naked eye - a lot of black grass grew out of his body.

Wu Ren's health was the lowest, and his body was the first to show a mutation reaction.

Now that Zhou Qian is like this, it means that after his health dropped sharply, he also had a mutation reaction!

Zhou Qian is going to die soon!

It is impossible for him to live anymore!

Then what he just said is actually probably true.

After all, Zhu Qiang also heard about the related matter from the pastor - the gambler named Mu Sheng loaded himself into the game, but encountered a terrible attack from a god-level player!

"You want to know... who that person is, don't you?"

At this point, probably feeling a little uncomfortable, Zhou Qian glanced at his arm with dark green grass, the corners of his mouth curled up, his smile looked innocent. "Hiss, grass is so weird on me. I just hope my head doesn't turn green."

Zhu Qiang: "..."

Zhou Qian looked up at Zhu Qiang again: "Oh, let's get back to the topic. I still have about 3 minutes. Do you know why I woke up from that dream just now?

"Strange, isn't it? Logically, I should take that knife and chop Zhang Yanjun into pieces."

Zhu Qiang did find it strange.

He was stunned for a while, and then asked Zhou Qian: "Then why didn't you do that?"

Zhou Qian smiled, his eyes suddenly became very gentle, as if he remembered a good memory.

"If the matter is only related to myself, then of course I can do whatever I want and kill as much as I want. But this matter has something to do with Bai Zhou——

"Do you know that I do things based on principles?"

Zhu Qiang didn't know why Zhou Qian asked such a question, in fact, he didn't even want to talk to Zhou Qian.

But for some reason, when he saw Zhou Qian's eyes, he still shook his head at Zhou Qian.

Seeing Zhu Qiang shaking his head, Zhou Qian smiled quite satisfied.

Then he said in a very gentle tone: "Because there are too many bad people like you in this world. I have never met a few good people in my life. It can be seen that good people are rare animals in this world, so of course they have to be punished." Just protect it."

"Bai Zhou is a good person."

"He has good grades, is handsome, and has a good personality. He has been the class monitor since he was a child, and he even has good sports performance... How can he be a murderer when he is such a perfect person? So, if the time is repeated again, I would never do that."

"Now, I have ten thousand ways to make life worse than death for a scum like Zhang Yanjun, so why do I want my hands, especially Bai Zhou's, to be stained with blood?"

After hearing this for a while, Zhu Qiang raised his head to look at Zhou Qian, and suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling.

I don't know why, at this moment, all the fanaticism, elation, excitement, and complex emotions brought about by the thought of "I defeated Zhou Qian" suddenly disappeared.

It seems that it is me who is sick, and the person who can't feel emotions has also become me.

Zhou Qian's eyes seemed to have magic power.

In other words, the temperament in him that can make people empathize with him and be controlled by him is too strong.It was so strong that Zhu Qiang suddenly didn't dare to look him in the eyes.It was as if he was some kind of god with whom the world could not look at each other.

After realizing something, Zhu Qiang quickly looked away.

Then he said: "Well, yes. Zhou Qian, what you said makes sense. But——"

Taking a deep breath and adjusting for a while, Zhu Qiang dared to raise his head and look into Zhou Qian's eyes again.He said: "However, the re-choice you make can only happen in the illusion. What should happen has already happened, and time cannot be repeated. And you will die soon.

"I don't think you have a chance to be resurrected. Even if you have a so-called 'master', even if he is a god-level player. How can he fight against the entire pink army alone?"

"That's right. Let's not talk about my resurrection. Let's talk about my illusion. Then do you think... Zhang Yanjun deserves to die?"

Zhou Qian suddenly asked, "He is a scumbag, you have no doubts about this, do you?"

"Of course he is a scum." Zhu Qiang replied, "I admit that I am not a good person. I am selfish and greedy. But in my opinion, adults who prey on children are not fun!"

"Oh. That's right. Let me ask you one last question before I die."

Zhou Qian smiled softly, stared at Zhu Qiang's eyes with those dark pupils, and asked again, "Why do you know... who Zhang Yanjun is? Why do you know, what did he do?"
