Chapter 34 Battle Royale Recording (V)
After reading these short stories, Yu Wen fell into a brief silence.
He still lacked a complete understanding of the character of the hero. The initial information focused on the event information. It was not until he saw these words that the outline of the hero's character gradually took shape in his mind.
Brave, brave.
Even without a sword, he must challenge the curse magic.
Even the rolling mountains cannot stop him from moving forward.
... This is a very charismatic character.
In the gaps between these words filled with rich emotions, the wanton and childish young man was laughing brightly.
Yu Wen thought that he was going to fall in love with these thin words and fictional stories.
Among all the people around him, Chu Han was the most devoted to acting. He once asked, since it was just a job, why should he take out the enthusiasm of a moth to a flame.
Chu Han answered like this:
"Being an actor is a job, but acting is not. Experiencing other people's experiences and living their lives is something that must be respected and is extremely exciting."
Yu Wen didn't understand before.
Now he understands a little.
Some characters have souls.
"... Let's go." After Jian Heng had almost finished reading the entire note, Yu Wen stood up and pulled the door handle, "I'm going to the lobby to take a look..."
He had a hunch that the final ending would be in the lobby.
"Oh. Okay..." Jian Heng quickly read the last few lines and was deeply impressed by the hero's personality charm. At the same time, he felt even more reluctant - he was about to attack the hero, he was really a beast.
I hope the audience will not scold him after reading it. If you want to scold, scold the bard, it has nothing to do with him, Jian Heng.
He carefully put the note and the small object back to their original place, and turned around again. There was nothing in front of him. Where was Yu Wen?
... Where was Teacher Yu, who was so big? !
The duck that was about to be in his mouth flew away? !
-
Teacher Yu was in a secret room separated by a wall, facing the wall speechlessly.
Just now, when he was about to open the door, two walls suddenly extended from the left and the front, tightly trapping him inside. Then the floor under his feet moved silently, separating him and Jian Heng in the blink of an eye and taking them to another space.
He knew that the hardcore information from the program team came again.
This time he was very calm and did not resist. When his feet were stable, he took two tentative steps forward, and after confirming that it was safe, he groped forward. It was
very dark.
It seemed to be another secret passage.
At the end was a narrow door. Yu Wen felt around on the wall and found a small depression.
Huh?
He thought hesitantly... It seemed to be the shape of a cross sword...
Feeling in the dark, he pressed the cross sword into the groove.
The narrow door moved in front of him and opened.
Yu Wen was stunned as he looked at everything in front of him.
-
"The letter with the most information now is the elf's self-report."
Yi Ming took out his own letter and placed it on the cold low table in the basement. "According to my self-report, the great magician blocked the attack of the ghost bird for me in a critical moment. He believed that I possessed precious healing magic and was the hope of everyone's survival. Later, he died because his magic power was exhausted and he could not control the wound. In other words, I was the indirect cause of his death. I should be able to hunt down the great magician."
Li Daniel immediately moved one meter away from her and said in surprise: "Why didn't you tell me when we formed an alliance?"
Yi Ming: "I didn't know it then."
Fan Xiangyang was amused by the two of them and said: "Okay, it's not too late to know now."
Tong Li was worried about the small copper box in front of him.
"The reason why the dead are still around... what does that mean?"
They had just snatched this small box from a room that was being attacked by ghost birds. There were no guests in that room, but the ghost birds attacked very vigorously, as if they had seen an enemy. Several people tried to lure the flock of birds away and took a look inside, and then took out this small box.
"The dead are still around... Xiao Jian also said before that there are dead souls among us. Could it be that the dead are referring to us?" Yi Ming said.
"Are you asking why we are still around?" Fan Xiangyang joked.
"The reason why the dead are not dispersed..." Tong Li thought, "If we are all dead, could it be asking why we are gathered here?"
Yi Ming: "It's possible!"
Li Daniel: "The password above is letters, could it be our names?"
Tong Li straightened the box and agreed: "It's possible, let's try them one by one."
The first time, the one with the least letters, dwarf.
Wrong.
Yi Ming: "Could it be not pinyin?"
Fan Xiangyang: "Is it English? Who is good at English? How do you say elf? How do you say hero?"
The second time, elf, English.
Wrong.
...
The fifth time, hero.
Correct.
Tong Li breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Daniel asked in confusion: "Hero? The hero is the reason why the dead are not dispersed? In other words, we have been here because of him?"
"Not sure, let's take a look first," Yi Ming said.
The thing in the box is called "Whisper of the Dead".
The Ghost's Whisper:
[Who am I... I don't remember clearly...
Why am I staying here... I don't know...
This is a gorgeous castle, exuding an atmosphere I don't like.
I don't understand why I stay here.
Every time I want to leave, a voice will echo in my mind: Wait, wait, wait for him to come out of the mountains.
Who is he?
What are the mountains?
This castle is the most powerful prison in the world...
But it does not imprison the dead.
So, why am I trapped
here? Who am I?
It seems that someone once called me... the greatest magician in human history...
I can't remember. 】
The second whisper of the dead:
【I used healing magic to save my companions - this is the most proud thing in my cowardly life.
I hid behind them, and this time, I stood up.
Well... but I don't remember who my companions are, nor do I remember why I saved him.
I am an undead.
I should leave here, go to the underworld, and gain eternal life in the sunlit reed fields.
But I stay here, why?
Ah... I remember, I still have a companion, he seems to be alive.
He is lost in the mountains.
I want to wait for him to wake up.
The third whisper of the dead:
【Evil dragon? Evil dragon? Why is there an evil dragon here? Damn!
I can't explain it, but I hate it. When I see it, I feel like I'm hungry and locked up in a dark place!
When I see it! I want to give it a bath!
How can I do that? I
'm a princess! Eh... am I a princess?
So noble? !
Hahaha, great!
Why does a noble princess stay here...
Why don't you go back to the palace or turn into a bird with wings?
I seem to have a friend...
He went to fight against a very powerful magic...
I don't know if he's dead or alive.
But the evil dragon is entrenched here, so he must be alive.
The dragon's sense of smell is more sensitive than all of ours.
Then I will also wait for him to wake up...】
The fourth ghost's whisper:
【The evil dragon is coming, the evil dragon is coming...
It finally came.
It held the holy sword in its mouth, and the despicable bard died under the sword.
It occupied the castle, and the devil's curse failed...
But it did not leave...
Why? Who is it waiting for?
... And who am I?
Together with it, I gazed at this place forever.
Waiting for someone to return...
"Occupied the castle?!" Yi Ming grasped the main point and pointed to the line 'Occupied the castle, the devil's curse is invalid', "In other words, the information released by the program team before was all smoke/bombs. This is indeed the devil's castle, and it was the devil who abducted the princess. The dragon occupied the castle, and the curse is invalid... What is the curse?"
Tong Li counted, "Four undead, it seems to be exactly the four of us."
"The first one is the great magician, the second one is the elf, the third one is the princess, the fourth one..." Fan Xiangyang deduced based on the information revealed in the chatter, and hesitated at the last one, "Dwarf or hero..."
"Dwarf." Tong Li said firmly, "Don't forget the code on the box. The reason why the dead spirits are still here is because of the brave man. If any of us are still alive, it must be the brave man."
Everyone sorted out their own story lines. Ten minutes later, Tong Li drew two timelines, the past and the present, with the arrival at the castle as the dividing line.
She unfolded the timeline of "this place" to everyone, pointing to the empty part in the middle, "The only thing missing now is the part about the demon king, the demon king's curse, and the reason for the demon king's death... As long as the demon king's part is filled in, the whole story will be complete."
-Yu
Wen looked at the huge dragon shape in front of him with a cold light... and was stunned.
This is a dragon, exactly the same dragon as the one on the dome of the hall. If the dome glass is like a soul sealed in the center of the castle, then this is the dragon's shell. It is roughly estimated that the volume is six or seven times that of the glass dome, and it exudes a silent sense of oppression.
The program group is really generous.
Yu Wen walked forward. The dragon's body is like cold iron, reflecting the cold color under the incandescent light. The scales are clearly visible, and even the dragon's whiskers are lifelike. If it weren't for the eyes being tightly closed, it would be almost the same as a living creature.
The entire body of the circling dragon is at least two meters long. When he got closer, Yu Wen had to crane his neck and look up.
The dragon's head was drooping, and the silent dragon was sleeping here.
All around the dragon, there were various small light spots floating. Looking closely, those light spots seemed to be palm-sized holographic projections, freezing countless pictures.
The radio sounded at this time:
"The collection hut of the brave... It has been listed as a forbidden area by the castle owner. Reckless outsider, you should not come here... Put down the holy sword that does not belong to you, and the dragon may forgive your recklessness."
Yu Wen stared at the sleeping cold dragon, and somehow reached out to touch the scales on the dragon's neck.
He remembered that the dwarf's notes said that the evil dragon once took off the soft scales on its neck and gave them to the dwarf for safekeeping, asking the latter to inlay them on the scabbard when the sword was completed...
Beep beep beep -
the health bar suddenly issued a dangerous reminder. Just a touch, the already poor health bar was further aggravated, almost pressing on the edge of the safety line, with only 21% left.
However, the next second he noticed that the holographic projections around him began to move, like a video with the play button pressed, flowing...
He heard the dragon's sad cry and saw it hovering over the castle, its figure blending with the rainy night, like a miserable cry.
The flow of these images was fleeting, and after he withdrew his hand, it was soon paused again.
Yu Wen stared at the precarious health bar in silence.
He realized that he had to touch it to see the dragon's "memory".
However, once touched, his health bar would inevitably fall below the safety line, and there would be no hope of escape.
The program crew really knows how to make things difficult.
Yu Wen exhaled deeply.
Intellectually, he knew that he should give up this part of the clues and cooperate with other guests with higher health bars, so that the loss would be the least and the benefit would be the greatest; emotionally, he felt that... the one who could unlock the memory of the evil dragon should be a brave man.
Not Yu Wen, but a brave man.
A brave man would touch an old friend without hesitation. Regardless of health bars, regardless of gains and losses.
"This sword is mine."
He said calmly to the radio that made the sound.
"Please tell me what happened to you; please tell me why you are lingering here..." Yu Wen stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the dragon's closed eyes, but after a hesitation, he suddenly took another step forward and pressed against the dragon's lowered forehead.
The forehead touched the cold iron, and it was icy.
"My friend." He whispered. The last word was vague, like a sigh.
-On
the screen, the young man and the evil dragon's foreheads were touching, and the tragic white light shone on them, outlining an unusually harmonious picture of light and dark.
Yu Wen closed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. It was hard to tell whether he was at ease or tranquil. However, the picture zoomed in and fell on the end of his eye. The tear mole was clear and moving, and with the shadow cast by the eyelashes, it seemed to be crying.
Who rushed thousands of miles to a reunion that ended in vain?
Old friends meet, either happy or sad.
The director and the assistant director were both silent for a long time, and the latter uttered two words with emotion:
"Fuck."
-
The evil dragon's memories are mostly about itself. It is easy to imagine that this dragon was synthesized by the program team with high technology. At that time, the identity card was not clear, and it was impossible to predict the future and synthesize a hero who looks like Yu Wen in advance.
However, a lot of the hero's voice appeared in these pictures. It should be that the program team hired a voice teacher.
[ "My friend, the people of your capital are very unfriendly." The evil dragon came to the hero with a head of rotten vegetable leaves and a dirty body, and stated calmly.
The hero looked at it and was silent for three seconds.
The dragon: "My friend, are you laughing?"
The hero: "Hahahahahahahahaha..."
On the seventh day of arriving in the capital, the dragon was warmly "received" by the people of the city. The hero picked up the leaves on its head and said firmly: "It must be because you are too sloppy. The people of our capital love to be clean."
The hero borrowed a large bathtub that could accommodate the dragon from his good friend, the princess.
Soaking in the warm water, the dragon hummed comfortably, and its tail slapped the water, splashing countless water.
The hero took a large brush to scrub its scales.
"My friend, I don't like the capital."
The dragon said indifferently, "The scenery here is not good, not as beautiful as my residence."
In fact, it was very depressed by the people of the capital, but it would not say this. A proud dragon would not say such a thing.
The hero rubbed his scales with a grunt. The dragon was really too dirty. He was sweating all over.
"Then I will tell the great magicians," the hero panted and laughed cheerfully, "Let's go to travel around the countries together!"
Travel around the countries, together.
Very happy.
The evil dragon: "Okay, I will endure it for a while."
Due to excessive excitement, it accidentally split the pond with its tail, and was angrily accused by the princess afterwards.
She has a bad temper, the dragon thought lazily. 】
【"The holy sword, the holy sword has not been successfully forged." The dragon lay on the grass in the sun, muttering to himself: "Let's go traveling together..."
It had agreed with the hero, to go traveling together. 】
【The demon king kidnapped the princess, and the brave team regrouped and set out to fight.
The people lined up to see them off.
The brave stroked the dragon's forehead and whispered: "Hey, my friend, please guard the capital for us."
The dragon nodded listlessly.
There was an evil dragon hovering over the palace every day to guard it. Hey, this is really a wonder.
The dragon fulfilled the promise and guarded the capital that it once disliked.
The flower language of wisteria is loyalty and friendship.
It is always remembered.
It's just that it's still thinking about another promise, maybe, it will be fulfilled when the hero returns this time.
Traveling together...】
The dragon's memories are mostly related to the hero, full of happy colors, but when thinking of their ending, this happiness becomes a gray tragedy.
In the devil's curse, there is a sentence "The devil's castle has become the most powerful cage in the world." The dragon finally occupied the castle, and the "devil's castle" no longer existed, so the curse could not take effect.
However, the curse itself still exists.
The hero is still lost in the curse, not knowing whether he is dead or alive.
And the dead companions turned into undead, wandering in the castle, waiting for someone to wake up.
So far, it is a complete story line.
But there is another scene that moved Yu Wen.
【Loyalty, friendship.
"My friend, the wisteria is engraved in my soul, and I remember the promise we made to you. When you come back, we will travel together.
"I don't know if you are still alive. If you die, I must stay here forever, so I will split my body and soul into two; if you die, my soul will accompany you to the peaceful reeds.
"Whether you are dead or alive, we can travel together.
"Even in the form of souls. "】
