Chapter 115 Tarot Continent Calamity

Two corpses lay across the street, with the ax sunk deep into their faces, leaving no trace of their appearance.Cheng Xingshi walked over and squatted down to check it roughly. There were no other wounds, and the shape and size of the two axes were exactly the same.

In the team column, the portraits of Kong Yang and Yan Youqing also turned black and white.

The residents were not surprised by the death, and no one even stopped. They only glanced at the corpse from the corner of their eyes, and walked away indifferently.

Pei Yi gradually calmed down, and explained to Cheng Xingshi and the others what happened just now.

She and Kong Yang, Yan Youqing were walking on the street, looking for the room number that matched the number on the piece of paper. , the two of them fell down at the same time and died on the spot.

The death happened so suddenly, not only was it completely unpredictable, it was even impossible to defend and escape.At a glance, the street is full of residents, even if they are all violent residents, but it is not easy to be accurate and slash at the faces of two players at the same time, because Yan Youqing was talking to her at the time, and Yan Youqing's face Facing her, Kong Yang was looking at the room number on the other side of the street, almost in the opposite direction of Yan Youqing's line of sight.

Who the hell killed the player with such a weird method, and what is his purpose.

It can be said that the game mode before this, except for the survival mode at the beginning, has always been an exploration mode. Players are waiting for a certain opportunity, such as the system prompting an "event" to occur, or collectively moving into a certain residence to give an early warning Players, who are about to face the death test of game release.

However, this time, the player's death was too sudden and without warning. No matter who it is, it is probably hard to imagine that just walking on a crowded street will encounter a fatal attack. To myself, no chance to think about it was left to the victimized player.

At times like this, it can only be attributed to the fact that the original victims were too unlucky, and luck was not on their side.

Combining Pei Yi's words, Zhou Yan squatted on the ground and thought for a while. He seemed to have thought of something, stood up and said quickly, "I remember when I first entered the capital, I saw a pattern of rose flowers on the city gate. Just now I After thinking about it carefully, the rose petals are not six or seven petals, but five petals. The five-petal rose... is the pattern on the banner of the god of death! The reason why the five-petal rose appeared on the city gate is to remind us , this is different from the previous area, it is the range of activities of the god of death. In addition to the two cards mentioned by Simon, there should be another card in the capital, which is the god of death card! It is not one or two residents who kill the player, but grim Reaper."

Maybe this statement can explain why the faces of the two dead players are facing in different directions, but the strange incident that the faces can be hit at the same time happened. Figure what.

This is not an ordinary violent event at all, taking away the lives of innocent players in the form of sudden disasters, but a special event related to the main or branch line of the game, and it is the death test that players face.

"Reaper..." Pei Yi's lips trembled, "I, how should we hide, that's the god of death." The concept of the god of death is equivalent to the king of hell in China. Dare to keep you until the fifth watch, if the god of death wants to accept someone, who can stop him, and how should he stop him.

"Zhou Yan, what you said makes sense." Cheng Xingshi also noticed the rose flower on the city gate a long time ago. The god of death in the death card holds a plague flag in his hand. The pattern of the flag is a five-petal rose, and the death card in the Tarot card The number is 13. The number 13 is an unlucky symbol in the West, and there are not too many players, exactly 13 of them.

Zhou Yan's explanation was relatively perfect, and he also hooked up the branch line, pointing out the way for players to survive - collecting death cards.

That's right, what Pei Yi is worried about is actually not difficult to solve. Death is just a tarot card here. Since the side mission is to collect all 22 major arcana cards, it means that there is always a way to get rid of this card. The tricky god of death card is in the player's bag, and then there is no need to worry about the god of death plundering the player's life.

And the process must be difficult.The five-petal rose flag of the God of Death is actually called the Plague Banner, and there is no life in the places it passes by. Anyone who sees the God of Death will die.

"However, I always felt that their deaths had to do with the numbers."

It's not just the association of seeing Kong Yang and Yan Youqing's palm pieces of paper, but the fact that the two of them died at the same time must mean something.

If it is said that their death was not the result of random selection by the god of death, but died according to a certain law, then what is the method to find this law.

As Qian Xiaotong said, the parchment scroll is part of the wheel of fortune, and the numbers dropped in it are the guidance given to the player by the wheel of fortune. Now it seems that this is not a guide.

The opening statement given to them by the wheel of fortune is that everything is guided by fate.

The Wheel of Fortune card is guiding them to find gold, using the alchemy on the parchment to enlighten them on alchemy, helping them achieve the king's wish, and dropping a small piece of paper at the same time.

In fact, fate does not just bring gifts to people, it sometimes brings people good luck and harvest, and sometimes it brings doomed disasters.

Think back to the original game prompt.

[Are you sure you want to open the parchment? ]

[If you confirm to open, you will receive your number first.If you don't want to claim the numbers, don't open the parchment, put it back in its place. ]

The real alchemy written on the parchment is good luck and harvest, and the numbers on the paper are disasters.

The principle of alchemy is equal exchange.True alchemy can only be achieved if one is willing to accept the risk of death.

The wheel of fortune pushes prosperity and death to the player at the same time, allowing the player to accept the test of fate.

Cheng Xingshi pondered silently in his mind. If his idea was valid, he would have to see the rules from these three-digit numbers. Maybe from the rules, he could find a way to fight against the god of death.

The numbers of Kong Yang and Yan Youqing are "322" and "401" respectively.

Cheng Xingshi frowned slightly. Compared with other players, the numbers of the two were relatively close, but based on this alone, he still couldn't see what the pattern was.

His number is very close to Zhou Yan, only one difference, "113" and "112".Will he and Zhou Yan face sudden death at the same time like Kong Yangyan Youqing?

"Numbers...Maybe, hey, by the way, don't look for that room number, there's no rush, let's collect tarot cards together, whoever wins will get it, how about it?"

Judging from Zhou Yan's tone, it seems that the Tarot cards in his mouth are very difficult to deal with.

Other players also noticed the changes in the team column one after another. The teammate died, and two silver players died at once. Everyone was somewhat panicked. They were not at the scene and didn't know what happened.However, they are scattered all over the place now, and it is useless to be anxious. After exploring the room first, and then go to the appointed place to gather, they will naturally know what is going on.

Rong Xiu and the other three level 40 players quickly calmed down and continued to explore.

Bronze players are especially anxious.

The moment Yun Li and Tang Jie saw someone die, their palms turned cold, and Tang Jie's cold sweat broke out.

Yun Li tremblingly said: "What to do, even the Silver players are dead, we Bronze are already cannon fodder, the next wave will be..." Isn't it us.The second half of her sentence stuck in her throat, her throat was astringent, and she swallowed it back.

Tang Jie is also anxious. He feels that his strength is not bad in the Bronze rank. If it wasn't for a momentary mistake that caused the points to be cleared, it would be impossible to enter the Silver dungeon in the form of punishment, but to be steadily promoted to the Silver rank. , once the rank is improved, it will not be worthwhile to pretend to be a grandson with other players in this dungeon, and be humble and cautious.

Then again, what's wrong with bronze? Bronze is always stronger than black iron. Isn't their silver player also promoted from bronze? He shouldn't think himself so weak. After crossing the hurdle of the first wave of random deaths, the survival rate of the bronze player has been greatly improved. This is a good thing. It is his luck, so he has to grasp it.

Hearing Yun Li sobbing softly out of fear of death, he clicked his tongue, "Don't cry, it makes me a little messed up again."

Even though there were almost no one around, Tang Jie lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Our bronze players think differently from their silver players. They have to find ways to improve their grades, compete for the top rankings, get coupons and draw items. We are guaranteeing the bottom line, as long as we don’t die, we can achieve our goal by earning another point or two, don’t you think so?”

Yun Li listened attentively, raised the back of her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and nodded in agreement.

"Then the matter is simple, no matter what the guidance of the wheel of fortune, we will do the main task, collect the sword and the other three materials, alchemy, and finish the job! As for the other tasks, slightly difficult, even particularly difficult tasks Let’s leave it to those [-] and [-] level guys to take care of things and events, it has nothing to do with us. Let’s go, let’s collect the swords, no matter what the broken room number is.”

Yun Li felt that what Tang Jie said was very reasonable, and Tang Jie's theory made her feel more at ease. As long as they wait a little longer, those silver-ranked people will figure out the answer, whether the room number has something to do with the number, What is death, how to avoid new deaths, etc., all these problems will be solved by more powerful people.

As for their bronze players, I'm sorry, when faced with difficult events, they really didn't have the extra strength to deal with them, just like she didn't have enough props and abilities at first, and she was almost swept away by the strong wind, but it was Rong Xiu who held her back.She is too weak here, can't take on anything, just do relatively simple tasks, just collect swords.

Bronze players also have tricks to collect swords. It was figured out by Tang Jie. He went to find a house in a remote location. When the owner of the house was not paying attention, he placed a trap in front of the door. Eyes, so as to avoid being locked by npc.

Players will not lock the npc to cause trouble for themselves, but go directly into the house to search for the sword. If they can't find it, they will force the npc to tell the whereabouts of the sword.

This trick can minimize the danger of the players. Tang Jie and Yun Li only tried it twice, and they each seized a sword, which is much easier than fighting head-on.

The third time the two of them ran near the cliff, Yun Li walked in front, and reminded Tang Jie behind him to be careful of his feet, the oily black stone was too slippery, if he didn't pay attention, he might fall to the bottom of the cliff.

Tang Jie was inattentive, and when he didn't pay attention, he really rolled over.Yun Li failed to catch him in time, and fell anxiously on the edge of the cliff, calling his name while clicking on the team bar, and was slightly relieved to see that his profile picture was still in color.

Under the cliff, Tang Jie struggled to get up from the soil. He looked at the sharp and hard branches stretching into the air, and he was lucky that he didn't touch them during the fall, otherwise he would have to wear a hole in his body.

The bones in his body were falling apart, and he couldn't use his legs. Tang Jie was so regretful that he couldn't think of going to this ghost place to get a sword. As he walked, he realized that something was wrong.

He quickly put down the strap to check the box, and his mind was blank for a moment.

His suitcase was smashed to pieces, and all that remained was a piece of the suitcase's material hanging from his back.

[The important prop "box" for completing the main mission has been destroyed and cannot be repaired. ]

[Main quest failed. ]

Tang Jie's cell phone notification said so.

He could hear the buzzing blood vessels in his ears, his hands and feet were cold, and he didn't care about the pain. Failure of the main task, and failure as a 0-point bronze player who was punished, meant...he had to die.

Next, he waits for the game to pronounce his death.

……

The muscles on Tang Jie's face twitched from time to time, not daring to accept such an ending, he closed his eyes tightly.

One second, two seconds... five seconds... half a minute passed, and he was still breathing, not dead.

His eyelashes fluttered violently, and some mucus dripped out of his eyes, and his lower eyelashes fainted.Realizing that the situation seemed unusual, he finally mustered up the courage and opened his eyes.

A strange npc stood in front of him, his face was completely covered, he had no feet, and his body was suspended, like a ghost.

[npc: Witch]

[A user of black magic.Another: Like players, they are also collectors of tarot cards. ]

Tang Jie's mentality was at a critical point. He only glanced at the introduction of the npc, and only cared about why he was still alive.

[The witch has sent you an invitation: sign a contract. ]

[Contract content: Sell your soul to the witch. ]

[What the witch will give you: new life. ]

[What you need to give to the witch: the Major Arcana. ]

[If you refuse to sign a contract with the witch, the game will immediately declare your mission failure and death.If you sign a contract with the witch, you will get the chance to continue the game.Ask the player to make a choice. ]
