Chapter 35 Battle Royale Recording (End)

Beep beep beep -

the health bar sounded the alarm again, dropping to the dangerous 2%.

Yu Wen let go of the dragon, took a step back, and took a deep breath slowly.

His eyelashes drooped slightly, and his eyes were like the rising and falling tides, moved and sad.

The evil dragon's memories were mostly in words, and the holographic projection was only an auxiliary. Even if he didn't open his eyes and just listened, he could still feel the fierce emotional impact.

Experiencing other people's experiences, living what others live...

Some souls have gorgeous gems buried in them, and interpreting these roles is the process of digging for gems.

Even if this is just a simple variety show script.

Even if the role of the hero may only have two or three pages.

Knowing the ending in advance, the reverse flashback that began with tragedy brought a greater shock to Yu Wen than Chu Zhiyao.

If a TV series is watched from the end, all the joy and happiness will be closely linked to the result. Every time you rejoice with the king, it will bring deeper regrets after the curtain falls.

The more regrets, the more you want to change.

Yu Wen turned around and looked back. The light curtain floated in the empty space, like scattered stars, wrapped in a moment of tenderness, and eternal with the Milky Way.

He scanned it all, like a lost traveler looking for traces of the past.

Finally, his eyes rested quietly on the dragon.

"I will win." He whispered.

Yu Wen picked up the sword and set out on the journey without looking back.

This time, he will win.

–The

residual thoughts of the devil linger in the castle, everywhere.

It took Tong Li and others a while to find the secret room that Yu Wen had entered before.

There were dark acrylic baffles on both sides. The NPC who played the devil floated back and forth, and occasionally came to kill the guests face to face, which scared the guests enough.

They pushed and shoved, and it took a while before a representative, Tong Li, came out to talk to the devil.

The NPC had an extremely terrifying makeup and hid behind the baffle, making it difficult to find his whereabouts. Tong Li was also frightened in his heart, and tremblingly said: "Devil...Devil..."

The NPC was very moved, and he wanted to laugh three times. The sense of accomplishment that was lost in Yu Wen was found in the people in front of him, and he was immediately scared even more.

There were screams one after another. Daniel Lee and Yi Ming, who were less courageous, sat on the ground and cried bitterly.

The director was very satisfied and pointed at the screen and said, "There are tears and laughter. Our first episode is complete!"

When the heat was almost right, the director used the intercom to remind the NPC to give information.

The devil repeated what he said to Yu Wen.

Several people fled from the corridor in a hurry. Tong Li lay on the ground and trembled as he took out the previous Whisper of the Dead.

Her body was about to pass out, but her mind was still clear. She swallowed and said in a hoarse voice, "The curse... There is a sentence in the curse, 'The castle of the devil becomes the most powerful cage in the world'. The dragon has occupied this castle, so the 'castle of the devil' does not exist, and the curse is invalid, right..."

"Wait!" She suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Just before she found this secret room, the radio had a prompt: The devil's remnant is lingering... He tricked naive travelers into becoming his blade...

The naive travelers refer to the bards?

The devil's remnant is lingering. If he wants to deal with someone, isn't it most likely the dragon that occupied his castle and caused the curse to fail?

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the other guests.

But...

"Xiao Jian is a bad guy?" Yi Ming said in surprise.

"That's not the point. The point is that if you get a bad character, you usually have some convenience in the setting. He may not need to find all the clues like us to pass the level. If he plays well, he can KO the whole audience." Fan Xiangyang is most familiar with the program team's routine and immediately answered. "

No wonder Xiao Jian didn't look for clues from the beginning." Li Daniel thought, "So... what is his convenience?"

-

His convenience is that as long as he kills the most hateful soul of the devil, he can escape directly.

From the beginning, Jian Heng woke up in the lobby, and his health bar dropped the fastest, which was arranged according to the character. Although he took the greatest risk and the most unfavorable starting place, as long as he found all the clues, his advantage is far greater than other guests. It's

a pity that Xiao Jian never returned on the road of running away.

He lifted the tablecloth and looked under the table, looking for his missing teacher Yu.

There was no teacher under the table, so he opened another cupboard.

Still no teacher. Jian Heng was about to burst out, "Where is our little Yu?! Who hid our little Yu?"

The director looked at him anxiously looking for Yu Wen like a mother who had lost her chick, wanting to say something but stopping.

The assistant director said, "Why don't you give him a little more hint..."

He was going off the track.

The director was very worried. "He won't watch it."

The initial information about all the guests was vague and even confusing, which was also to increase the difficulty. In the process of looking for clues, it is necessary to constantly overturn assumptions and reorganize them, but Jian Heng was sure that Yu Wen was the person he was looking for after he made the inference. The information that the director had deliberately given him along the way was like a wink to a blind man.

Jian Heng pulled away the paintings hanging on the wall to see if the program crew had hidden his little Yu on the wall. In the afterglow,

a dark shadow flashed, and the figure he had been searching for came out from the corner of the second floor.

Jian Heng cried with joy, "It's not lost, it's not lost, damn program crew, I think our little Yu can't even eat because he missed him so much..."

Yu Wen had long been accustomed to his acting everywhere, and Jian Heng was born to be a comedian.

"Wait." Yu Wen raised his hand towards him who was rushing towards him, pushed the man away, walked to the long dining table, and groped on the ground.

Jian Heng asked curiously, "Xiao Yu, what are you looking for?"

Yu Wen: "The mechanism."

So Jian Heng followed him like Voldemort walking on the ground.

After touching for a while, Jian Heng realized belatedly and said, "What does the mechanism look like?"

Yu Wen's muffled voice came from the other side of the dining table, "I don't know."

Jian Heng: ...touching hard?

Whether it was the clue "You are the center of the incident" or the dragon statue directly above, it indicated that there would be an organization in this area. Yu Wen had skipped many levels in the middle, and some information was not fully understood. Now he could only use stupid methods.

After searching for more than 20 minutes, Yu Wen found the switch under the carpet.

The two of them retreated together, and the floor under the dining table slowly moved horizontally. The ground seemed to crack, revealing a ten-meter square hole, and wisps of black mist gradually rose.

A chanting radio voice sounded.

"Brave man, have you completed all the explorations?"

Yu Wen nodded.

"Wow! Xiao Yu, you figured it out so quickly?!" Jian Heng clapped his hands for a while and praised, "Great."

Yu Wen rubbed the back of his right hand with his fingertips - there was a square scarf tied on the back of his hand. If it was untied at this moment, the dangerous 1% flashing red would be exposed.

He didn't have time.

Converted into minutes, 1% is about fourteen minutes, and this 1% is not full.

He had to verify his story line first. If the story line is correct, then his guess about the hunting target will also be correct.

"Brave man, in front of you are the mountains. Please prove to me that you have awakened."

Yu Wen thought for a while and drew out the sword in his hand.

This was the first time that the Holy Cross Sword was drawn.

The sharp edge of the snow-white sword was exposed, reflecting the cold light. Yu Wen gently stroked it with his fingers, and felt the cold touch from his fingertips.

Jian Heng didn't know what his action meant, but just watching from the side, he couldn't help holding his breath.

This was just like a... coronation.

Yu Wen rarely had such a serious expression on his face. He was just calm at most, but the scene before him made Jian Heng see a kind of unyielding determination from this old friend.

It seemed that at this moment, he was a hero.

Yu Wen casually made a sword flower.

Thanks to the training of the "Xianmen" crew, he has some experience with sword props. Chu Zhiyao's weapon is the sword, and he has learned a lot of sword flowers and sword moves. Although there is a wall between fantasy and Western fantasy, this casual sword flower, combined with Yu Wen's calm expression, has a strange and wonderful fit.

After flexing his wrist, Yu Wen suddenly knelt on one knee and inserted the long sword steadily into the black mist in front of him.

The first thing a brave man who wakes up should do is to draw his sword and break the evil curse magic.

"Handsome!" Jian Heng exclaimed subconsciously, and then realized that his voice was a little loud. He was afraid of affecting Yu Wen, so he whispered: "Super handsome..."

Yu Wen's appearance has always been difficult to associate with heroic spirit. He is pure, beautiful and popular with the audience, but his body shape does not match his face. He is 179 cm tall, which is not tall or short in the entertainment industry, but he has a slender neck and straight shoulders. Wearing a straight suit like a brave man, if his expression is a little lighter, his affinity will be infinitely weakened, and he will become a kind of pure handsomeness.

Especially at this moment, he was calm and composed, yet he had the force of thunder and lightning, and he stabbed the sword steadily into the ground.

This set of smooth movements was so handsome that it made people dizzy!

Jian Heng couldn't help but sigh just watching from the side, not to mention the results after rendering and accompaniment...

The radio announced:

"Brave man, the exploration is over."

This means that the story line has been successfully certified.

Yu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he put down the sword, Jian Heng rushed up and gave him a warm hug, "Xiao Yu, you are so handsome! It's great to see you."

His quick pass key and health bar recovery package.

Yu Wen was stunned for a moment, and also hugged him back with emotion, "It's great to see you, I think so too."

What a coincidence, in my eyes, you are also a health bar recovery package.

It was mentioned in the memory of the evil dragon that the despicable bard was killed by the evil dragon who held the holy sword. The evil dragon was not a guest and was not in their closed circle. If the hero could definitely hunt someone, the bard who died under the holy sword would be the most likely.

Yu Wen was just speculating at first, but now it is almost 90% certain.

"Give me the lute. I'll play it for you."

It's a very simple logic. If Jian Heng attacks him and the hunt fails, Jian Heng will be eliminated. Indirectly, it is caused by him, which can be summarized as the hero's hunting.

This is equivalent to the hunting target, who originally required him to spend time to approach and gain his trust, coming to him on his own initiative, and coming to him impatiently, feeling pity for him because he only had fourteen minutes left, and cutting his own neck cleanly.

Yu Wen can only say, thank you.

If it weren't for Jian Heng, after unlocking the memory of the evil dragon and his health bar dropped to 2%, he would not have been so sure of escaping successfully.

However, it is not clear whether the brave's hunting requires a ritual, so it is better to replenish it with the holy sword later.

I didn't expect him to be so proactive. Jian Heng was moved, but also a little surprised and self-blaming.

"Start now? You just finished the authentication, why don't you wait a little longer..."

Yu Wen sighed, "If I wait any longer, my health bar will be gone. "

"It doesn't matter." Yu Wen smiled, "I have nothing else to do now anyway."

Jian Heng: "Nothing else? Is your health bar enough?"

Yu Wen said calmly: "Not enough, but I haven't found my hunting target, so I decided to lie down."

Jian Heng looked at him with pity in his eyes.

He believed Yu Wen, just like Yu Wen once said that he had a metaphysical physique, and wherever he went, he would catch melons. Teacher Jian believed it again. He

looked at Yu Wen with a moving look in his eyes, and thought to himself, good brother, I will give you half of the gold I get.

The members who successfully escaped can get gold. The shape of each issue is different, and the craftsmanship is complicated. Jian Heng has been coveting that thing for a long time.

He handed the lute to Yu Wen.

Yu Wen tried playing twice. He hadn't played for a long time, so his technique was a little rusty, but the notes that flowed out were still low and smooth.

Greensleeves is an English folk song that is widely spread. The melody is classical and elegant. It is matched with the lute, which has its own low resonance, and it has a unique artistic conception.

Yu Wen held the lute and sat down on the steps.

The middle step faced the long table of the banquet hall. Yu Wen only needed to raise his eyes to see the dragon on the dome.

"...What's wrong?" Jian Heng asked.

Yu Wen shook his head. He could not help but feel sad when he thought that the evil dragon was left with only one soul.

The brave team was broken up, separated by life and death, and the promise to travel together became an inscription on the tombstone... This was a grand feast of sorrow. But Yu Wen still wanted to leave a little hope in this feast of sorrow.

At least, the brave man and the evil dragon should be reunited.

He plucked the strings.

The white knuckles danced on the strings, Yu Wen lowered his eyes slightly, focused and immersed, and the smooth and pleasant melody echoed in the hall in an instant.

The lute and the Middle Ages are a perfect match.

Jian Heng seemed to see a tavern in a trance, with dim light, the brave team laughing and talking, drinking together, tasting malt liquor, the bard in the corner reciting his travels, the tavern owner raised his glass from a distance, celebrating the safe return of the team...

After thinking about it, he felt a little guilty.

I'm going to kill the brave man soon.

I deserve to die.

-Tong

Li and the other four frantically scrambled for the remaining information.

Time is running out, and the story lines they have are still missing.

For example, Tong Li, how did the princess die? What is the so-called attempt before death...

For example, Yi Ming, what kind of person is an elf? What is the mentality behind using up all the healing magic to save the dwarves...

For example, how did the great magician Li Daniel die...

For example, Fan Xiangyang...

There are so many things.

It has only been about five hours since the start of recording, which is not slow compared to the previous two seasons, but the ghost bird at the beginning of the third season really caught them off guard. The health bar dropped much faster than before, and even the experienced Fan Xiangyang couldn't help but become anxious.

There was a radio broadcast outside the door, which was vague and unclear. It seemed to come from the hall. Several people didn't look up, but after a while, a melody came from outside again.

Yi Ming, who was concentrating on piecing together clues, could not help but be stunned for a moment, "Who has so much free time?"

"Oh no." Fan Xiangyang slapped his head, "There is only one chance to escape. If someone gathers all the clues and leaves early, then the rest of us will be eliminated directly."

Yi Ming cursed in an ungraceful manner and rushed out.

Tong Li, holding her big princess dress, panted and chased after her.

By the time Li Daniel turned around to get his wand, there was no one left in the room.

He: "..."

Wait for me a moment!

-The

deep and beautiful music continued. Jian Heng had somehow circled behind Yu Wen and sat on a step higher than him. He sighed softly and pressed his shoulder.

"Xiao Yu..."

Yu Wen pretended not to hear and continued to play.

Jian Heng could tell that the song was about to end.

He made a gesture to the camera in the corner - a hunting gesture.

When the last note fell, Jian Heng leaned over slightly, close to Yu Wen's ear, with guilt and grief in his tone.

"I'm sorry, my friend."

Yu Wen held the zither and sat there quietly.

A voice came from the radio, echoing throughout the castle.

"Bardin, the hunt has failed, the time limit for the undead has come, and they will perish..."

Jian Heng: "?"

Yu Wen stared at the void in a daze, and heard this expected result, but still smiled.

"I'm sorry, my friend." He turned around, changed his gentleman's salute, and said the same words to Jian Heng again.

Then he stood up and prepared to make a gesture to the camera.

As long as his health bar recovered more than 20%, he would have met all the conditions for escape -

"Wait a minute, brave man!" Yi Ming ran out breathlessly, holding onto the railing on the second floor, and waved to Yu Wen vigorously.

Yu Wen turned around in confusion, and saw Tong Li following closely behind him, and he understood instantly - yes, there is only one chance to escape.

He thought for a while.

Yi Ming was panting upstairs, and her mind was quickly organizing her words. Before she could speak, she heard Yu Wen say: "I'll wait for you, but we have to make a quick decision, I probably still have..." As

she said that, she took off the square scarf on the back of her hand, and the red light representing the last three minutes flashed in front of everyone.

Yu Wen was silent, raised his head and said seriously: "Can you finish the search in three minutes?"

Yi Ming's heart sank.

"Forget it." Tong Li suddenly said.

She gave Yu Wen a light smile and spread her hands, "There is still a lot missing in our story line. If you give up escaping and give us enough time, we may all escape, but don't forget that the ghosts linger for a long time just to wait for you to wake up. The rest of us escaped, and in the end you were trapped here. I think this is not the ending that this story deserves. If it's her, she must want you to leave."

Tong Li didn't elaborate on the "she" in her words, but in just a moment, everyone understood who she was referring to.

If it's the princess, she must want you to leave.

"The ghosts linger for a long time..." Yu Wen murmured these words.

He didn't know this part of the information, but when Tong Li said it, he immediately understood it, and at the same time understood why his clue was that you were the center of the incident.

Because these undead, the dragon in the dome, all stayed because of him.

He is the core of this castle.

Yi Ming was silent for two seconds, and suddenly laughed, his wig stuck to his sweaty forehead, and waved to Yu Wen, "I'll follow you in the next round, and I will definitely win the gold. Let's forget about this one. The elves wish you a safe journey. Teacher Yu, let's go."

Li Daniel stood at the entrance of the stairs with a magic wand in his hand, smiling slightly. The calm and calm great magician seemed to be personified at this moment.

He said, "Brave man, there is no need to stop, just move forward."

"Let's go, Xiao Yu, the three minutes are almost up." The voice came from behind. Yu Wen turned around and saw Fan Xiangyang sitting on the steps. The voice of the veteran MC was smiling and had a reassuring power, "Keep moving forward, no need to look back."

Yu Wen suddenly didn't know what to say.

For a moment, he thought of a screenshot that his boss had posted in the group. It was a selected comment under one of his trending searches, "Even if you are not familiar with the entertainment industry, please shine."

This comment surprised him at the time. Although he did not devote himself wholeheartedly, he asked himself that he had never been vague about his work. Unexpectedly, someone could see at a glance that he was unfamiliar with and alienated from the entertainment industry.

He thought he was serious enough about this job.

But perhaps... the real charm of the entertainment industry is only now unfolding before his eyes.

After a long silence, Yu Wen said nothing, but raised the sword in his hand and smiled brightly.

It was like a brave man promising - I will continue to move forward, please rest in peace.

The guests also waved back at him.

Jian Heng was confused and didn't understand their interaction at all, but he felt it was quite touching, so he took a step forward and prepared to hug Yu Wen goodbye, "Teacher Yu..."

Yu Wen made a hunting gesture, picked up the long sword stuck in the ground, and slashed it across Jian Heng's waist.

The special fabric touched the sword blade, and a red liquid that looked like blood flowed out.

Jian Heng: "?"

"Brave man, the hunting was successful, and the health bar was restored."

Teacher Jian was going off track again, but he reacted at this moment.

He was very sorry, he felt that his last words before his death would be muted by the program team.

Because what he said was: "Fuck."

The broadcast continued:

"The brave man who awakened in the mountains, please carry on your journey with the will of your companions..."

The tightly closed castle gate slowly opened, and Yu Wen walked to the door. Light fell from the gaps, first a line, and then large patches of sunlight, covering him completely.

Yu Wen put on the scabbard, came to his senses, and pointed to the glass carvings on the dome.

"Please stay away from the hall, guests." The broadcast reminded.

Three minutes later, the glass shattered into pieces, and the fine and dense fragments fell from the air. The dragon soul sealed in the glass began to wake up, as ethereal as the morning mist.

The holographic black dragon came to Yu Wen, its head drooping towards him affectionately, as if waiting for a touch.

Yu Wen gently touched its dragon horn and smiled.

"My friend."
