Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

Zhu Qiang, whose legs were weak, could hardly stand anymore. Like grabbing a life-saving straw, he tightly grasped the rib of God in Zhou Qian's hand, and the other hand grabbed Zhou Qian's shoulder, so that he could barely support it. with the body.

"You, what are you talking about? What have I overlooked?"

Zhou Qian smiled and said to him: "You said it yourself just now, you have read my analysis in "Apple Paradise" on how game designers like to play with people's hearts - the most dangerous place can often bring the biggest turning point to the player .

"Then why do you think that I can really be trapped by these grasses?"

Zhu Qiang: "You...you..."

"Actually, if you use your brain more, you can also find the problem. But when you entered this dungeon, you thought you had obtained enough information. It was collected by the Pink Legion with great effort, which is very important and very reliable. So, coming in with such a presupposition, you lose the motivation to think proactively.

"You put all your thoughts on dealing with me, but ignored the information of the dungeon itself. In fact, this is the most important thing. After all, our real purpose is to clear the level, not to use the so-called dungeon trap to kill each other."

Zhu Qiang's face became paler and paler, and Zhou Qian smiled more and more cheerfully.

"Now, let me tell you the answer to the problem."

"'Ordinary tourists can't survive here... maybe there will be some changes in you to adapt to the environment here.'——this is what the system told us from the very beginning.

"A key message revealed by this sentence is that the changes in us are produced by adapting to the environment."

"In addition, before entering the high wall, Mayor Ryan's words are also worth studying. He said that we are a gift from God, and we can adapt to 'evil spirits'.

"So in my opinion, 'evil spirit' refers to some kind of radiation that ordinary people in this copy cannot adapt to. Ryan's words imply that we can coexist with this kind of radiation, and our life forms may break away from the routine and cause huge changes. The change.

"The last is all the clues related to the 'gene' given by the dungeon from the beginning to the present."

"Brother Qiang, you might as well open your mind a little bigger. What do you think species or forms of life exist?"

Zhu Qiang couldn't answer Zhou Qian's question at all.

He didn't even understand the meaning of the question itself.

Zhou Qian said to himself: "Wu Ren's body grows leaves, the texture is very special, like marble patterns. We have seen such leaves before - when we first went to Mount Weier, there were many of them. Tree.

"Wu Ren has the lowest number of life points and is the first to attack. And when he started to mutate, he happened to be surrounded by that kind of tree."

"It's the same for Ke Yuxiao. He has a very special black-colored grass growing on his arm, just like the grass around us now. I calculated the time and found that when he started to mutate, it was almost exactly from this black-colored grass. Pass by the edge of the grass area.

"Therefore, I began to suspect at that time that the mutation of our body was related to the environment we were in at that time.

"Facts have proved that my guess was right. You see, I mutated in this place, and black grass grew on my body."

"Now we can conclude that when we start to mutate, the 'mirror' in the copy will implant the genetic code fragments of the plants near where we were at that time into our body, allowing our own genetic code to change, And quickly mutate. But then?

"This 'mutation' must be meaningful, right?

"After the black grass grows on my body, what will I become and what can I do?"

At this point, Zhou Qian glanced at the position of his left wrist, then looked at Zhu Qiang and said, "After getting out of the swamp, I received a message from Wu Ren. He briefly said that Yin Jiujiu wants The killing of Situ Qing. In addition, he also provided me with an important piece of news——

"He said that he felt a little cold during the sprint just now, and then the leaves that looked very similar to him ran over and surrounded him, as if to keep him warm."

After a short pause, Zhou Qian said again: "His words undoubtedly confirmed some of my guesses. So I came over and tried it. Sure enough, I guessed it right."

Zhu Qiang's voice was hoarse to the point of being powerless: "Zhou Qian, you, don't be a fucking fool, you—"

"Brother Qiang, take a look. If the time can be repeated, when you get the first money from this game, you should find someone to learn from and supplement your knowledge, instead of being brainwashed all day Crying, beating, and killing. You can't do things alone, just relying on your cleverness, you still have to weigh yourself first. Especially for technical tasks such as killing.

"Look, I've talked to this point, why don't you understand?"

When looking at Zhu Qiang, Zhou Qian's eyes were full of undisguised mockery.

"Just now I asked you, do you know that there may be many forms of life. Now let me tell you a fact - in this copy, after we mutate, we can become a special kind of life together with the corresponding plants body.

"Take me and this black grass as an example.

"I have their genes, and a part of my body has indeed become them. Just now you verified that I don't even have blood. But at the same time, these grasses can't think. I have brain nerves."

"The mask on your head is supposed to protect your brain nerves from being affected, so that you don't let yourself fall into a dream.

"Besides, you didn't have any mutations because of the additional effect of this mask. You thought it saved you. But in fact, it also completely prevented you from discovering the truth of this copy."

"The truth is that after the mutation, I have completely completed the symbiosis with these black grasses, and we have formed a common life form, which is a very special form of species existence. They have no brain nerves, and they will share a brain with me .In other words...they will follow my orders."

Zhou Qian's gaze became meaningful, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became extremely joyful.

"So, the reason you can see me getting tangled in grass is because I directed them to do so.

"As for the chickens who were looking for their way just now... Ha, I'm sorry, which chickens will be trapped by the grass and which chickens can walk to me safely are all under my temporary command."

"Brother Qiang... there is no such thing as a trap here.

"From the beginning to the end, you are just being played by me!"

At this point, Zhu Qiang finally understood.

Not long ago, he thought that Zhou Qian's limbs were trapped and he couldn't even move his fingers because there was a trap hidden in the ink grass!It was Zhou Qian who got off his horse in a panic and stumbled, so he fell into the trap and trapped himself!

He even thought that Zhou Qian used the "provoking method" to provoke himself into a trap, and let himself be trapped here to die with him.

So, in order to show that he dared to kill Zhou Qian, dared to break these traps, and dared to walk into the ink grass field, he used the little chicken props that can explore the way, and used them to avoid the ink grass traps, so as not to be entangled in the grass...

He was complacent, thinking that every time Zhou Qian used a trick, he could easily see through and break it.

Even just now, he found out that he had been duped by copying cards, even though he knew that he would die immediately, he just thought that he just lost at this last step!

But he was wrong!He was dead wrong from start to finish!

Only now did he know that all of this was Zhou Qian's performance!

Zhou Qian was never arrested from the beginning to the end!He can actually control these ink grasses, making each one obey his orders!

Zhu Qiang vomited a few mouthfuls of blood again, and the depression in his heart could no longer be described in words.

All his self-satisfaction, all his step-by-step calculations... turned out to be a complete joke!

He threw a knife to test the grass, carefully held the lighter, and sent chickens to explore the way...

The actions I made at that time... In Zhou Qian's opinion, it was like watching a monkey show, right? !

Zhou Qian was teasing himself from the beginning! ! !

If, if I don't wear such a mask, I will also mutate!I am in this black grass, and I will also have their genes, and become a community of life with them!

That way, he can find out the clues!He'll find he can command them too! !

But he just... wears a mask again.

Suddenly, Zhu Qiang remembered the pastor who appeared in front of him before entering the dungeon.

"All the props are ready for you. Especially the mask, which was specially made by a blacksmith who can make props among high-level players. Our purpose is to lure Zhou Qian into a fantasy dream. This mask can prevent you from that wetland. The effect of swamps.

"Let's go. We will kill Zhou Qian successfully."

The confidence in the past has been completely reduced to a joke now.

The mask that can protect his brain nerves, the mask that protects him from the erosion of the so-called fantasy... but it also prevents him from discovering the truth, making him completely reduced to Zhou Qian's toy.

After being stunned for a moment, Zhu Qiang suddenly thought of something, and immediately raised his left wrist to take a look.

But the message menu on the system panel is empty, nothing.

No message from his gambler priest.

Zhu Qiang actually believed in the ability of the pastor.

Before Zhu Qiang entered the dungeon, the pastor's guess about the gene was almost the same as what Zhou Qian said.

He didn't know the real secret of this dungeon beforehand because he didn't see it with his own eyes after all.But now, after looking at the situation of Wu Ren and others from his own perspective, he should be able to make a guess!

He should have guessed the same as Zhou Qian that after a human mutates, he can form a life community with the corresponding plants, and then control their...

But why didn't he tell me or remind me?

No matter how doubtful he was, Zhu Qiang could no longer wait for the pastor's answer.

He raised his head and looked at Zhou Qian in despair and exhaustion.

"So... what do you mean? You lowered your life to the lowest... just to see me think I'm self-righteous... and perform a monkey show in front of you, right? Why don't you just direct these idiots to kill me?"

"For a person like you, how boring is it to kill him directly?

"Your expression now is interesting."

"Okay. It's almost time to see you on your way."

When Zhou Qian said this, all the ink grass like shackles on his body faded away by itself.

Under Zhu Qiang's extremely desperate eyes, Zhou Qian only made a very simple movement—holding the divine bone, he pulled it out of Zhu Qiang's hand, which was exhausted from fear, and then gave him a slight push. .

Zhou Qian used the divine bone to freeze the time in this small area.

But outside this area, time moves forward at normal speed.

If Zhu Qiang returns from the area where time is still to the area where time flows normally, it is equivalent to traveling to nearly 2 minutes later.

The reason why Zhu Qiang dared to walk into this area where time was frozen before was because he felt that he could spend more time torturing Zhou Qian because he had picked up four cards with a total of 24 health points.

But it was a fake card that was copied, without any practicality.

Therefore, when Zhou Qian pulled away the divine bone and pushed Zhu Qiang away from the area where time was still, Zhu Qiang returned to the normal time point, his life value was instantly cleared, and he fell to the ground and stopped. took a breath.

·

The number of life points is a special setting given to the player in the dungeon.

The higher the radiation, the faster they will decrease.When it is low to a certain level, the player will face the possibility of death at any time, in the most dangerous state.

But it was precisely at this time that the players were able to discover an extremely critical hidden setting in the dungeon.

Players will absorb the genetic information of the animals and plants in the environment when they mutate, and quickly begin to mutate.

If there are particularly many animals and plants in this environment, the player can obtain its genetic code first, and it is most likely to be the first to have a mutation reaction related to it.

Zhou Qian walked into the black grass area, where his life points dropped rapidly, and he was able to mutate, and his body grew black grass.

Whether it is a person, a plant, or an animal, they will all be affected by the "mirror" in the dungeon.

Therefore, when Zhou Qian was influenced by Cao, Cao was also influenced by him.

Thus, in a sense, Zhou Qian lived in symbiosis with these grasses, and the grasses could receive the signals from his brain nerves and understand his commands.

Everything that happened now confirmed Zhou Qian's conjecture.

He just has one more confusion.

If the game setting simplifies the very complicated sci-fi setting, then Zhou Qian can predict the follow-up direction-everyone's transformation direction is fixed, and now Zhou Qian is mutating under the influence of ink grass Yes, ink grass will grow all over his body, and he can direct the ink grass, but that's all.

But if the game setting is not simplified, but developed according to a more realistic sci-fi setting, things will be very complicated.

Now when Zhou Qian mutated, he was surrounded by ink grass, so he lived in symbiosis with the grass; when he replenished his life points, then lowered them and mutated again, if there were fish beside him, would he be able to live in symbiosis with the fish?

Even... if things get more complicated, in the end, the six players will be able to absorb each other's genetic code.At that time, in form, everyone will still be an independent individual, but in fact, everyone will actually become the same person.

First exclude Zhu Qiang.Suppose only six players walk into the high wall.Their genes affect and change the environment, but they are also changed by the influence of the environment...

In the end, will all the animals, plants, and people inside this high wall form a living body together in the end?

At that time, this life experience will be the god here, every blade of grass, every drop of water, every butterfly...all will obey his command, because they are actually only a part of his life, and he will be the real master of all things .

If things really get to that point...

With the brains of six players, who will play the leading role?

·

While Zhou Qian's brain was spinning rapidly, he quickly walked out of the black grass area.

Now he only has 1 minute left, after he sent a message to Wu Ren, he moved quickly in the direction he sent it from.

Earlier, Wu Ren sent Zhou Qian a third message, which he did not tell Zhu Qiang—"I have arrived at the clearing station, and two cards can be 'recharged' at the same time."

Zhou Qian tried it out, and found that the grass could indeed listen to his command. While letting them entangle him, he reported his position to Wu Ren, asked him to return a card to him, and added: "Don't If you walk from the wetland, you will easily fall into illusion."

Therefore, after confirming that he would not die, Zhou Qian dared to quickly reduce his health and use his ability to control grass to act.

Wu Ren had already told him the location of the clearing station, but in order to help Zhou Qian as soon as possible, he had already rushed here with the "recharged" cards.

Now Zhou Qian is on his way to meet Wu Ren.

During this period, Zhou Qian's wrist kept flicking news.

【Zhou Qian, there was absolutely no need for you to do this just now, you just need to direct the grass to entangle Zhu Qiang, why are you playing with him? 】

[In order to tease Zhu Qiang, your approach is too risky!How do you know Wu Ren is reliable?What if he doesn't give you the card, or lies about the location of the clearing station?In order to punish Zhu Qiang, you reduced your time to only 1 minute, is it worth it? 】

[Forget it, things have already happened, so I won’t say anything.Then put on your speed shoes and find the clearing station quickly? !Why are you still walking slowly?What if Wu Ren regrets not giving you the card? 】

……

"Hiss..." Zhou Qian glanced quickly, then quickly looked away.

He looked up somewhere in the void.I don't know if Li Xuehai can see his face from this perspective.But he still said, "Dr. Li, who is cold and rigid, you talk too much."

Li Xuehai sent a sentence: 【………】

Zhou Qian smiled, and then said seriously: "Did you hear my conversation with Zhu Qiang? So actually I think... instead of worrying about Wu Ren, you should think about which of your colleagues have problems. This game is not easy .

"Also... where do you think Qi Liuxing and Ke Yuxiao went? When I saw the illusion, you didn't see it with me, did you? Have you noticed their positions?"

Li Xuehai: [They walked towards the east of the swamp. The distance between the front and the back was quite large, and they all fell into a dream, but they didn’t go south into the swamp, but went east. I don’t know yet what's on the east side]

Zhou Qian smiled politely: "Okay. Thank you doctor."

Zhou Qian stopped looking at the system and continued walking northwest.

Now he has less than 1 minute left, so he has to ensure that he survives before going to Qi Liuxing and the others.

In the end, he had to find Situ Qing and Yin Jiujiu.These two girls have good fighting power, and they will be very useful in the future.

·

at the same time.the other side.

In a dark corridor.

Situ Qing and Yin Jiujiu are still trapped in the [Heaven and Earth Net].

A moment ago, Situ Qing raised the flashlight to check and found that they were in a passageway under the ground.The passage is surrounded by very high-grade metal materials, and it is also quite wide, two people can stand up side by side and walk forward.

Now according to the normal reduction rate of life points, Situ Qing still has 120 minutes to live, and Yin Jiujiu has 140 minutes to live.

In the absence of contact with the outside world, the two had to try their best to save themselves, find out if there was a way out, or find props that could replenish life points.

"The scope of the Great Teleportation of the Universe is within 500 meters, so we won't be too far away from the No. A12 clearing station. We can return to the ground." Yin Jiujiu said, "In addition, the effect of the heaven and earth network is one hour. After one hour, we will I can leave here. When the time comes..."

"At that time, if Li Buhui kills Zhou Qian, do you think you can count on him to take you out?" Situ Qing choked on Yin Jiujiu's words.

Yin Jiujiu glared at her, but she also knew that now was not the time for internal fighting, so she could only endure her irritability, anger and hatred, and try to find a way out with Situ Qing.

The way the two of them move now is very strange—they stand side by side, with their legs holding each other, and both of them are covered with nets. With the help of flashlights, they move the nets step by step like snails in the corridor.

After asking the question, seeing that Yin Jiujiu didn't answer, Situ Qing glanced at her and asked again: "Seriously, how did Li Buhui fool you? I didn't mean to laugh at you. It's just that I came into contact with a terrible legion Yes. They said at the time that if I killed Zhou Qian, I would be able to join the legion. I killed Zhou Qian, failed, and instead decided to follow him from now on. So——

"Do you understand? If you are not from that legion, you are being used by them. Li Buhui must be related to that legion."

Yin Jiujiu frowned.She was extremely unwilling to chat with Situ Qing.

But she also knew that she was indeed being used.As a result, the existence of that legion also made her quite unhappy.

After hesitating for a while, Yin Jiujiu still said: "I ran the book quickly during that time, and I met Li Buhui. He is not good at everything, he is a bastard. He is willing to help me run errands, so I will take him to the bastard, and I will also help you." Nothing. I really don't see a problem with him at all.

"Well, thinking about it now, it seems that he really started hugging my thigh after he found out that I got the ticket for "Flower of Evil". In fact, I got the ticket for this hidden copy long ago, but I haven't Dare to come in. Because it is more difficult. Until Zhu Qiang pretended not to chat with me unintentionally, saying that he found out who came in this time, who are Zhou Qian and Situ Qing...

"I heard you were here, so I decided to come."

After a while, Situ Qing said, "I'm not a good person. One thing I particularly regret now is that I killed Gao Shan. But before that, I didn't kill people at will. , I just did it. For example, when five players can only survive four, we have to fight each other.

"If I have the wisdom of Zhou Qian, maybe I can find a way to pass the level without any injuries. Actually... Actually, the gambler I was at the time should also know that method. But he wants to see me kill people for him, so there is nothing wrong tell me……"

"I'm not saying this to whitewash myself. But I'm really not a born executioner. Especially after the first time I did it... I actually broke down for a long time.

"Anyway, in this game, I remember the names of everyone I have killed. But none of them are your friends.

"I think there's something else behind it. Anyway, you've been used from start to finish."

When the words reached here, the two of them had already walked a long way in the passage.

Situ Qing did not hear Yin Jiujiu's answer.

But inexplicably, a sentence suddenly popped up in her mind - 【Ghosts will believe her.She is just afraid that I will kill her again]

"You, what did you say?" Situ Qing asked Yin Jiujiu.

"What? I didn't say anything." Yin Jiujiu said immediately.

Situ Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You will believe me only if you say ghosts."

"I..." Yin Jiujiu's eyes widened, "Can you read my thoughts? I just thought about it..."

Then a sentence popped into Yin Jiujiu's mind—【I don't know if her IQ is lower than mine, but she still doesn't believe it when it comes to this point.Now that things have come to this, do I still need to lie to her? 】

"Situ Qing, you fucking taunt me once is enough. Who would take someone like Li Buhui seriously? I was fooled by accident. My IQ is fine!"

Yin Jiujiu roared angrily, and then saw Situ Qing's gaze became even more puzzled. "Can you, too, read my mind?"

The moment the two looked at each other, they both felt extremely puzzled.

At this moment, with two "slaps", the two of them lost their footing and fell to the ground together.

The moment their four palms supported the ground, they also caught the surface of the heaven and earth net at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, they tried to stand up again, but found that their legs were fighting uncoordinated, and they fell down again.

In the end, they both supported their upper bodies with their palms, and turned their heads to look at their legs together.

The female warrior Yin Jiujiu was obviously stronger physically. She supported herself with one hand, and raised the flashlight backward with the other hand.

The two girls, one with a grumpy temper and the other with a cold temper, have both experienced strong winds and waves, and can deal with any emergencies relatively calmly.

But at this time, after seeing the condition of the legs with the help of the flashlight, both of them became a little calm and incompetent.

——I don't know when, Situ Qing's left leg and Yin Jiujiu's right leg grew together.

The author has something to say:

Explain Zhou Qian's skills.

Zhou Qian’s skill is to slow down or even stop time. Take the distance when Gao Shan died. If he and Gao Shan were also in the area where time was stopped, they would not be able to talk, because when time is stopped, everything is still. , the sound cannot be moved, and the sound cannot be transmitted.

But this article has a setting that stands outside of time when holding the god bone.That is to say, the person holding the divine bone is equivalent to not being controlled by any time; in this way, when Zhou Qian stops the surrounding time, the others stop still, unable to hear or speak.But when he and Gao Shan meet the god bone at the same time, they can stand "outside time" to communicate.

The time returned to normal, and Gao Shan went to the normal time point-death.

Zhu Qiang here is similar.

Some people may not understand.So let me explain.
