Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

The studio was brightly lit, and the tattoo master Chang Shu started working soon.

When he saw the needles piercing Zhou Qian's arm densely, He Xiaowei watched and clicked his tongue twice: "Fuck, does it hurt Qian'er? It's a pity that the dungeon is special, I can't milk you, otherwise I will give it to you right away." You have added blood."

"It's okay." Zhou Qian spoke to He Xiaowei, but looked at Bai Zhou next to him, "It's much better than when I ate apples. Brother Zhou is so cruel."

Before Bai Zhou could speak, He Xiaowei interrupted curiously. "What apple? Will eating apples make you feel uncomfortable?"

Zhou Qian, Bai Zhou, and Yin Dao: "..."

Bai Zhou seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by He Xiaowei.

After looking at Zhou Qian for a while, he just turned around and looked at Chang Shu, and stretched out his hand to him, asking him to carve a "Z" for himself.

Seeing this, He Xiaowei was even more surprised. "I can understand Qianer engraved 'Z', hey, what does that 'Z' mean, big guy? Don't follow Qianer to learn non-mainstream. That——"

"Say less." Yindao covered He Xiaowei's mouth, and hurriedly dragged him to the door, looking at the situation in the lobby of the tattoo shop outside.

In the hall, a man and a woman went to the door of the store as doormen.

The four invincible men hid in a corner and chatted in low voices.

Their voices are indeed very low, but the five senses of god-level players are very keen, Yindao can actually hear what they are saying.

Rice: "Boss, what do you think?"

Dudan: "I just went to the door to take a look and listened to it. They really carved '卐' on their hands. This can't be faked."

Batufei sighed: "Hey, in fact, the newcomer our army recruited not long ago, the one named Wen Bin, is quite smart. It would be great if he was here, and he can give me an idea. It's a pity...it's a pity that he died. .”

Of course Wen Bin was there, but now he is using the identity of "Liu Wansan".

Without revealing his identity, Wen Bin said in Liu Wansan's tone at this moment: "Actually, I think Zhou Qian can listen to him. He finally took me and Er Dan to pass the customs. As long as we don't mess with him, we decided to make peace with him." , he won't do anything to us."

Batufei immediately said angrily: "You asked me to ask him for peace? What the hell have I become?! Maloro probably died at his hands! I want to avenge Maloro!"

Liu Wansan persuaded: "We have to bow our heads now. Boss, you think, this trial book was originally used for matching trials between god-level players and ordinary players. We made mistakes here. I think the system will give preferential treatment. God level player.

"Why did the tattoo artist only take a fancy to two god-level players? This was designed! So, there is no way, who let Zhou Qian rely on god-level players?"

"Damn it. It's really a mistake." Batufei's face was extremely ugly, "But he is too arrogant, right?!"

Liu Wansan: "Let's hand over the props that can be sent out to friends outside the dungeon for safekeeping, so as to reduce losses. The same goes for gold coins. Besides, let's bargain with him again and try our best to get it."

"Yeah. You reminded me. Damn, who am I going to give the props to? My only brother, Marolo, died just like that. If I give it to others, they may not be able to return it to me!

"Damn it... I'm going to sell it on the exchange, but I may not be able to buy it back! Besides, the gold coins sold are still only for Zhou Qian! I might as well not do useless work!"

Batufei was cursing all the way, his face pale.

As for Wen Bin, who bears the name of Liu Wansan, the only thing he is thankful for is that he has already used up his secret camera.

The camera was small and made no sound when the shutter was pressed. He quietly took two photos of the people around Zhou Qian in advance, and threw away the useless camera after finishing the paperwork.

A while later, Zhou Qian came out after getting his tattoo done, and after discussing with the four people, he agreed to give them a [-]% discount.

In this way, Zhou Qian successfully took away 80% of their gold coins and all the props they handed over.

"I know that you don't want to give me some precious props because you gave them away just now. I didn't bother with you at all. See, I'm actually not greedy. I want as much as I can, and I'm always happy."

The four people who heard this: "..."

In the end, Zhou Qian fed each of them a "I can only tell the truth" pill, and asked: "I just want to ask you one thing, is it true that you will give away 80% of the gold coins and all the props you can hand in now?" Handed it over?"

Everyone answered: "Yes."

None have since been convicted of lying.

Zhou Qian looked at everyone one by one with scrutiny, and didn't make things difficult for them any more. After returning to the workshop and asking the tattoo artist to engrave swastikas on them, he walked to the door of the shop and waited.

At this time, tour guide Hua has come to urge everyone to get on the bus, saying that he just answered the call from Wang's reception desk at the reception desk, and the police urged them to go back and question them.

The four of Zhou Qian took the skinny man from Hall D and boarded the bus first.

While waiting for Batufei and others, Zhou Qian looked out the bus window, as if he was paying attention to the people passing by.

His eyes were a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

During the process, the tattooed parts of his two forearms felt a little tingling and itchy. When he unconsciously raised his hand to scratch it, Bai Zhou held it down in time. "Don't grab it, I'll help you apply ice when you get back to the hotel."

Zhou Qian looked at him sideways and asked, "Why are you applying ice to me? You don't live in the same room as me."

Bai Zhou turned his head and looked directly at He Xiaowei in the back seat. "Let's change rooms tonight."

He Xiaowei: "...Oh."

——Although I don't know what you guys are doing from the beginning to the end, but it's okay, as long as I don't let me meet ghosts.

Patting Zhou Qian on the shoulder, He Xiaowei asked him: "Qian'er, you have been staring out the window just now, do you think the murderer might be there?"

"Not really. Didn't I say before that whether the victim will be killed or not has absolutely nothing to do with tattoos?" Zhou Qian said in a low voice, "Actually, this killer...I suspect it's the hotel staff, or boss."

"Indeed." He Xiaowei echoed, "The human skin tattoos in the tattoo parlor don't have swastikas on them. But those in the hotel have them on it. This means that the ones in the hotel were not bought from the tattoo parlor, but After murder, the murderer peeled the skin and made it himself, and then engraved it with swastikas.

"Hey wait... not quite right, since the murderer likes tattoo art, it is also possible that he bought ordinary human skin tattoo accessories from a tattoo shop, and added an extra swastika at the end.

"But no matter what, since the murderer has the power to decorate the room, there is a high probability that he is a staff member!"

"Well. In addition to the reason you said, there is another reason. We can infer from why the two players died."

Zhou Qian said, "The 'risk of death' they encountered should be - the killer was thinking about who to kill tonight, and when he learned that there were new tourists staying today, he had an idea and decided to try to attack them.

"If there are two people in the room, it may not trigger a real risk of death. The killer is one against two, so it may not be sure. But once someone is alone, perhaps according to the personality of the killer, he will not stop doing two things. Those two tourists who came out of hall D happened to live separately, one in 1101 and one in 1102, so it hit the gun.”

"Then why did the murderer know that a group of newcomers were staying on the 11th floor of the hotel? From this perspective, there is a high probability that he is a staff member.

"The front desk may be; the cleaners who need to do cleaning in advance may be; the lobby manager and waiter may help tourists with luggage; the hotel owner is also particularly likely."

"So, the characteristics of this killer are likely to be first, tall and mighty, and extremely powerful in combat. When fighting one-on-one, no one is his opponent; second, he is a hotel staff."

At the end of the conversation, Zhou Qian thought of something, and said seriously: "Of course, this is just my preliminary judgment."

"Hiss. Then we have to live together at night, never apart." He Xiaowei looked sideways at Yindao who said nothing, and said in a very earnest tone, "Master, we must protect each other."

Hidden Knife: "..."

"Ahem, I feel that it's almost done. Now that we have found the characteristics of the killer...we should be able to find out who he is soon. Then can we find a way to kill him? Anyway, in this instance, everyone is an ordinary person , everyone just use ordinary killing methods.”

After saying this, He Xiaowei pushed his head from the back of the seat to the front, and placed it between the gazes of Bai Zhou and Zhou Qian.

Then he turned his head to look at Zhou Qian, and pointed the back of his head at Bai Zhou. "Huh? Qian'er, why don't you answer me?"

Zhou Qian pushed his head away, and said with a serious face: "Not necessarily."

He Xiaowei: "You're scaring me again!"

"No. It's not necessarily true." Zhou Qian said seriously, "If you were a gamer, would you design a similar dungeon plot?"

He Xiaowei: "Ah, this..."

Zhou Qian said: "Me and 137, you and Yin Dao, and the people in Hall D, the three groups of us have gone to different exhibition halls, but we have only been to that one. Those three exhibition halls are of parallel difficulty. The risk is about the same as the crack method.

"But this time the system intentionally guided the three groups of us to come here together, and the difficulty has obviously increased.

"Don't forget, this is a virtual game in the exhibition hall. Linekong City may indeed be biased towards reality, but in the virtual game, of course, anything can happen. This time the scene may not be completely realistic. Behind the wall Maybe it's a ghost."

"Fuck, Qian'er, don't scare me!" He Xiaowei cried.

Yin Dao couldn't take it anymore. "Okay. I'll protect you. Among all your brothers and sisters, you don't cry so much! Don't embarrass me!"

He Xiaowei: "..."

·

After the swastikas were tattooed on the other four, all nine players boarded the bus and returned to the Saiyan Hotel.

The area around the Saiyan Hotel was very lively, with many policemen coming in and out, investigating the two corpses.

Receptionist Wang had been waiting at the hotel gate for a long time, and when everyone got off the bus, he immediately ushered everyone into the sofa in the waiting area on the side of the lobby and sat down.

Immediately, two policemen came to ask questions, probably asking them what they did today, where they went, and whether they knew the deceased.

Everyone's answers were basically the same, and they also said to the two deceased: "It just happened to be in a tour group. I don't know each other well, and I don't have any hatred."

During the process, Zhou Qian listened to the conversation of two little policemen not far away, probably saying that this hotel is not good for old people or something.

After thinking about it, Zhou Qian asked the policeman in front of him. "Comrade police officer, can I ask how they were killed? This... If the murderer is not caught, we can't afford to live in other places. If we live here and haven't been killed... Tell us, Whether he used a knife or a gun, or something else, we should take precautions!"

"Knife kill." The policeman said, "cut the throat with a knife, but after cutting the throat, the murderer stabbed the person again as if venting his anger. So, don't worry. He probably has a grudge against those two people. You Don't worry."

Judging from the police's answer, there is no restriction in the dungeon that the police cannot reveal any clues to the murder.

So Zhou Qian asked again: "Is there any symbol left at the scene?"

Hearing this, the two policemen immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously suspicious of Zhou Qian.

Zhou Qian hurriedly said: "I'm afraid of being haunted, police officer. I just went to the tattoo shop to draw amulets to ensure safety under the introduction of Tour Guide Hua, so I asked a few more questions. I don't have time to commit crimes. I was in the tattoo shop when the crime happened. "

After a moment of silence, the policeman still spoke: "Yes, swastikas were drawn on the scene."

After saying this, the policemen went to the front desk to ask the front desk surnamed Wang for questioning.

Glancing at their backs, Zhou Qian looked at the four members of the Invincible Legion, and suddenly said maliciously: "I suddenly discovered the real way to pass the customs. Go to the police and surrender, and if you are arrested and imprisoned, you will definitely be able to Mix up these four days. The killer should not go to the police station to kill."

"Are you sick? Why don't you go?" Batufei asked first.

Zhou Qian said: "Because I want to clear the hidden mission. How can I go to the bureau to read the plot, and how to deal with the conspiracy behind the exhibition hall?

"But I advise you, when you have the opportunity to do it, do it in time, and don't learn from me."

Holding the arms of the people around him, and showing off Bai Zhou again like showing off a mascot, Zhou Qian said arrogantly: "After all, I have the blessing of a god-level player, you don't!"

Batufei was so angry that his old blood was about to spurt out.

Wen Bin, who was pretending to be Liu Wansan, hurried forward and slapped him on the back several times, and then he came along in one breath.

Next, something that many people did not expect happened——

Er Dan turned around and quickly ran towards the police, shouting, "I am the murderer! Catch me!"

Glad to hear, he was actually handcuffed and escorted into a police car.

After sighing that the "Egg Fried Rice" combination hadn't formed yet, and actually parted ways, Zhou Qian saw the police leaving in a file, and the hotel gate had been completely sealed off.

Erdan's sudden move stunned the other three members of the army, Chen Dami, Wen Bin, and Batufei, probably no one expected him to make such a move.

In the end, it was Wen Bin who spoke first, and he looked at Zhou Qian with indescribable eyes: "It seems that after the last dungeon, he quite believed what you said."

"You see, compared to him, you are far behind. I don't want to hurt innocent people."

Having said that, Zhou Qian walked towards the elevator with Bai Zhou on his arm. "The chance of dying is fleeting. Let's raise our spirits. The killing is about to begin."

While standing in the elevator, Zhou Qian's gaze gradually became cold and serious. Through the elevator door that was closing in the middle, he looked at the glass door in front of the lobby.

The police surrounded the hotel with a cordon.

——If the place is full of tourists, why is there a cordon here?

The story started to go against the grain.

The bad premonition in Zhou Qian's heart seemed to be even more fulfilled.

·

11 pm.

After Zhou Qian took a shower, he stood at the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out.

The whole city was still shrouded in fog, and nothing could be seen clearly.

When he squinted his eyes and thought about something, he heard footsteps behind him.

Turning his head, he saw Bai Zhou coming over after taking a shower.

"Did the tattoo touch the water when you took a shower?" Bai Zhou asked him.

"No. But it's just a little tattoo, it doesn't matter." Zhou Qian lowered his head and saw Bai Zhou bringing a bowl of ice cubes.

Bai Zhou found a towel, wrapped several ice cubes, and walked to Zhou Qian's side. "When you take a shower, I'll go downstairs and ask for it at the front desk. I'll apply it for you."

Zhou Qian smiled and handed over his hand, and saw Bai Zhou lowered his head, and carefully and meticulously helped him apply cold compresses to his still swollen and painful skin.

At that moment, Zhou Qian saw Yibo with countless knives in his body, Jiang Yuqing who was shot in the knee by the enemy with a gun, and Sarah who ran into the fire.

After a while, those images all disappeared.

All that was left in front of him was the same red and swollen skin on Bai Zhou's arms.

Zhou Qian asked, "You always ask me if it hurts. What about yourself?"

Bai Zhou had been helping Zhou Qian apply his right hand just now, now he took his left hand and put the ice towel on it.

Then he said: "Zhou Qian, no matter what I do, it's actually worth it."

"why?"

"If I hadn't chosen to take this path, I would have died long ago."

Zhou Qian understood what he said.

——If he hadn't come to Spring Hill Mental Hospital, he would have died of frostbite.

"That's not necessarily the case. Hawking had this disease, but he lived for that long, and it didn't actually delay him—"

At this point, Zhou Qian didn't continue talking.

He suddenly seemed to understand.

If it were me, I would certainly make the same choice as him.

Given the opportunity to walk independently, who would want to live their entire lives dependent on machines or other people?

There is only one thing that Zhou Qian still doesn't understand - why Bai Zhou didn't tell himself anything back then.

Was he worried about getting himself involved in the game, or was there something else behind that?

Opening his mouth, Zhou Qian was about to ask something, when suddenly there was a loud quarrel in the corridor outside the door.

The run-down hotel's sound insulation is very poor, Zhou Qian could clearly hear a female voice say: "I can see it, you are a waste!"

A male voice sounded immediately: "I gave you all the fucking money, what else do you want? After so many years of marriage, you will never be satisfied with me, right?"

The female voice said again: "Am I referring to money? Doesn't my mother know how to make money? I mean, you can't be considered a man at all!"

Both Zhou Qian and Bai Zhou put their ears on the door panel to listen to the sound from outside.

This movement made the bodies of the two of them infinitely closer, the tip of Zhou Qian's nose was very close to Bai Zhou's side face, he could even feel the heat of Bai Zhou's skin just after taking a bath, which could be clearly conveyed to himself.

Zhou Qian smiled, bent his legs and lightly touched Bai Zhou's leg with his knee. "Since it's not that she's dissatisfied with money, then she's dissatisfied with that aspect. It seems that her husband is not good."

Bai Zhou looked outside expressionlessly, but Zhou Qian noticed that his ears were obviously a little red.

Reaching out and pinching the cold towel wrapped in ice cubes in Bai Zhou's hand, Zhou Qian went to grab his ears again. "Hot? Let me cool you down?"

Bai Zhou grabbed Zhou Qian's hand, stopped his movements, and then lifted his chin outward.

Zhou Qian didn't tease him anymore, and put his ear against the door again, and heard what seemed to be the sound of a body being pushed hard and falling to the ground.

Then came the sound of the door being slammed shut.

It all sounds like two people were arguing with the door open, and now one of them pushes the other down in the hallway and closes the door.

At the same time, Zhou Qian saw a message from the system——

[Invite the two players in room 1107 to go to the corridor to watch the plot, this is a mandatory action]

[NPC will interact with the player partially, the player must meet the requirements of the NPC]

Zhou Qian and Bai Zhou looked at each other, opened the door, and walked into the corridor together.

They saw a woman lying on the ground.

She's wearing a red dress and stunning makeup.But her expression was ugly, with a very different gloomyness from her clothes.

She got up from the ground, took off the ring on her ring finger, and threw it away forcefully.

There were a few "dings", and the ring rolled to the corner of the corridor.

Without looking at it, she spat again at the door of 1103.

It seemed that she was pushed out of this room by her husband just now.Apparently she hated her husband to the extreme.

At this time, a man came out of room 1103 opposite to 1104.

The man was quite tall and handsome, and he quickly walked up to the woman, and he helped her to stand up.

The moment the woman leaned on his shoulder, the worry disappeared from her face, as if even her bones were softened, and she put all her weight on the man.

Zhou Qian watched the play with relish, and said to Bai Zhou: "I guess they got together before. Tsk, this green hat is worn. The door is opposite the door."

A few ambiguous voices sounded immediately, Zhou Qian looked up and found that the two kissed directly in the corridor.

After the kiss, the woman entered the room uncontrollably, while the man looked at Zhou Qian and Bai Zhou, handed them some money and said, "I'm out of money. Can you help me go to the lobby and find the front desk to buy some money?"

Zhou Qian said in his heart that he had checked the entire room 1107 where he lived, but he really didn't see that thing, so he couldn't find it from his room and give it to him.

Plus, they're poor tourists who do run errands for the money.

Therefore, the prompt from the system is also in line with the logic of the story - the player must complete the task assigned by the NPC.

The only problem is... This man is too impatient and exaggerated when it comes to intimacy, so others should buy this thing?

Raising his eyebrows, Zhou Qian quickly took the money from the man, and went downstairs with Bai Zhou.

Walking into the elevator, Zhou Qian smiled and asked Bai Zhou when the elevator went down, "It's quite fun. Hey, have you ever thought that one day we would take the elevator together to buy that kind of thing? "

"Ever? If I'm not mistaken, do you mean when you were in the freshman year of high school?"

Bai Zhou looked at him sideways, and asked quite seriously, "Have you thought about it?"

"That's not true." Zhou Qian said seriously, "I'm not like you, I receive love letters from girls all day long. Who should I buy it for? Blow up balloons by yourself?"

Bai Zhou: "...I haven't received a love letter."

Zhou Qian continued to be serious: "Besides, you are underage! Brother Zhou, what are you thinking all day long?"

Bai Zhou: "..."

After shopping in the lobby without changing expressions, Zhou Qian and Bai Zhou returned to the 11th floor via the elevator.

When he reached the end of the corridor, Zhou Qian noticed something was wrong.

Room 1107, where he and Bai Zhou lived, was originally facing a wall.

According to Tour Guide Hua, a family of three died there, and whoever lived here later committed suicide, so the room was completely blocked by cement.

But now the place has a door.The house number above reads "1108".

Suddenly, an extremely shrill scream sounded from 1108.

Then came the sound of a club hitting the head.

Zhou Qian heard a man's stern voice sounding through the door. "You who made a mistake, whose blessing do you want now?"

Under the extreme fear, a weak female voice almost started talking nonsense: "God, Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva... I don't know. Who come, save me, woo woo woo..."

There was a "bang", another sap.

The fierce male voice sounded again: "Wrong. You have to believe in Satan. You have to swear to Satan and be loyal to him forever!"

There was the sound of a few sticks, and blood flowed out along the door panel and landed on the carpet.

Zhou Qian frowned displeasedly and took a few steps back. After thinking of something, he turned around and looked towards a corner of the corridor.

——The discarded wedding ring, gone.

The author has something to say:

1. A mistake was corrected yesterday under the reminder of the little cutie. The swastika and the swastika are two symbols with different directions, and the Nazi is a "swastika".

When I first thought of this book, I thought about it for a while. I felt that human skin has pros and cons. From different perspectives, it is different anyway. Too many clues may appear cumbersome and redundant, so I thought it was okay. I only wrote one, and I didn’t think too much about it when I wrote it. I used whichever input method came first.

I read the comments last night and thought about it, only to find that something is wrong. For example, the direction of the symbol on the base of the lampshade must not be changed. In addition, if it is a tattoo on human skin, the two sides are indeed very different, so the text here is unified.卐~

(PS, I don’t know if it was because of the mention of NC, this comment was deleted. It makes me so worried about text 2333333)

2. Added some content to Chapter "19":

The term "Peach Red" in the Peach Red Legion is taken from the famous ancient poem: "Last year, today, in this gate, people's faces are red with peach blossoms."

The founder is a god-level player known as the "Peach Blossom God". When she "conferred the gods", she walked out of a crimson peach forest, and her skills are also related to peach blossoms, so she got such a title.

The peach blossom is still there, but the peach blossom fairy has been hidden for a long time, and no one knows her whereabouts.

It is exactly the sentence: "I don't know where the human face is going, but the peach blossoms are still smiling at the spring breeze."

The founder Peach Blossom God didn't know where to go, and the legion was also quiet for a while, but only recently became active, ranking among the top three in the legion.
