Xiaojiu died 13 times in a few days, all of them were stabbed to death by the soldiers.
When Ren Suo asked Xiao Jiu to go to sleep, Xiao Jiu reluctantly said: "Xiao Jiu has memorized the locations of those monsters. Next time, I just need to lure them out one by one and kill them, and I will definitely be able to defeat them..."
"Alright, alright, go to bed now kid, you have to study for an extra 65 minutes tomorrow."
"Big brother, Xiaojiu can't sleep, let me play for another half an hour...
15 minutes!
5 minutes!
Let me call first!
I know how to fight now. When I lay down, I remembered that I should throw the fire pot on the second floor to kill the dog first, then raise the shield and stab the axeman from behind..."
"Hey!? Xiaojiu, look, I don't think I cut my nails!"
After Xiaojiu fell asleep slowly with a look of reluctance on her face, Ren Suo went out to cut her nails and then continued his journey in "The Upside-Down World".
In the game, the maid Xiaosuo and Mr. Mu saved a girl who was almost drowned by a water ghost. After the girl woke up, she seemed very scared. Then the maid Xiaosuo approached her.
"The maid Xiao Suo used 'Calm' on the girl, and she gradually calmed down."
"Due to special reasons, Mr. Mu's mood has been slightly affected."
Now was the time when a special plot was triggered. As long as Master Mu's mood did not drop, Ren Suo did not bother to care. He just wanted to advance the plot quickly.
After some questioning, the player learned that the girl was just a civilian passing by. When she passed by the river, she suddenly looked dazed and was attracted by the sparkling river surface reflecting the moon. Then she walked down inexplicably. When she reached the middle of the river, she was grabbed by the feet by a water ghost and almost drowned.
The overall clue level did not increase at all, but Master Mu continued to ask: "Then do you know the villain who was killed by the Soul Palace here a few days ago?"
The girl actually knew something - she was even one of the bystanders who saw the villain being killed.
“It was one evening, when I was going home, I saw the villain being blocked by a group of Soul Palace warriors.
Although he was surrounded by Soul Palace warriors, he was not afraid at all.
He was a rather ferocious-looking young man, with narrowed eyes, pimples on his face, and a very receding hairline...
Although he ran away, he did not surrender after he had no way to escape. Instead, he charged at the Soul Hall warriors, and after one of his hands was broken, he bit the blade of the kitchen knife and attacked. Very, very..."
Here, the girl used a strange adjective: "brave."
Mr. Mu was also puzzled: "Brave?"
“Yes, he was very brave. His clothes were soaked in blood. He was surrounded by people chasing him, but he never begged for mercy. He charged forward bravely even when he was seriously injured. Later, when his limbs were cut off and he was subdued, he bit the throat of a Soul Palace warrior with his mouth, forcing the Soul Palace warrior to kill him directly…”
From the girl's description, Ren Suo also roughly pictured the villain's image: he was of medium build, with sparse hair, squinting eyes that made people feel uncomfortable, and the pockmarks on his face meant that he was destined to have no luck with the opposite sex...
At the riverside covered with dim light, he was surrounded by dozens of Soul Palace warriors while fleeing, and his way to survival was completely cut off.
So he turned around, took out his weapon and faced the Soul Palace warriors.
There was a dead end behind him, no companions beside him, and in front of him was an enemy he could not match, but he still launched a desperate charge.
He didn't beg for mercy, didn't howl, and didn't fall to the ground. As long as he was still breathing, he hadn't been defeated. Even if his limbs were cut off, he killed an enemy with his mouth...
"Thug" is indeed not enough to describe him. Perhaps only "brave" is more suitable - a gangster is cruel to others, while a brave person can be cruel to others and to himself.
"But he deserved to die. It is said that in addition to the Soul Palace warriors, he also killed 19 ordinary people." The girl finally summarized the villain's life.
After the girl left, the night investigation was not over yet, so Ren Suo controlled Master Mu to open the "Magic Eye" and walk around to see if he could find other clues.
It seemed that it was because of the girl’s previous remarks that after Master Mu opened his “Magic Eyes” this time, he saw a large pool of pink traces by the river - traces of blood flowing.
As Master Mu searched along the way, some scenes from the past flashed back in his mind. He thought to himself, "When this villain went to die, he didn't seem to have any fear at all, and although his attack methods were very immature, he always remained rational.
He killed nineteen people for no reason. Shouldn't he be a villain who was possessed by evil and whose sanity collapsed? He had no combat experience at all, but he had a fighting heart of steel.
Before he died in battle, he seemed to have said something like 'the day when the Demon Lord descends'.
The water ghost that appeared here seemed to be somewhat related to his death in battle here...it seemed that it was because his blood flowed into the river.
The doubts are increasing.”
Although Mr. Mu said so, the total clue rate has actually risen to 7.9%, which is a great progress!
Ren Suo was not giving up and asked Master Mu to turn over all the grass here. However, the long period of fruitless investigation made Master Mu's mood slightly affected. He had to reload the game and let Master Mu end the investigation after investigating the bloodstains.
This game once again refreshed Ren Suo's views. In other games, he had no problem letting the protagonist rummage through boxes and cabinets, ransack homes and exterminate families. Things like slaughtering an entire village for a chicken, and barbecuing meat in the bloody storm of monsters were all basic operations.
But this game doesn't work like that. Ren Suo has to cater to the mood of the protagonist. The maid Xiaosuo takes the initiative to do all the dirty work. Now, even during the investigation, the protagonist cannot turn over all the grass - Ren Suo also knows that this must be a very stupid thing for the protagonist, but all the protagonists in the world have to do such stupid things...
Then the two of them went back to Musashi. Ayane was relieved to see them back and told them that there were frequent murders in Edo recently, so no one was paying attention to the poisonous man who was burned to death by Mr. Mu last night and kept saying "**". Everyone was safe for the time being.
Lingyin didn't know that Master Mu was the wanted demon king by the six major sects, so she said this. She felt relieved because she temporarily put aside the murder case.
, and even said with interest: "There are many hot springs in Musashi, from Oku-Musashi to Chichibu, why don't we find a day to relax in a hot spring?"
Oh, is this the traditional welfare session?
Mr. Mu asked, "Is it mixed bathing?"
Oh, the protagonist really understands!
Ayane smiled and said, "Very rarely, unless it's in some small bathhouses... and those bathhouses will probably have additional female baths, and most of the people who go to mixed baths are only old ladies..."
Then Ayane and Master Mu discussed the hot spring issue for a while. The maid Xiaosuo remained silent the whole time and the second day of the escape passed quietly.
Game Tips: "Because of today's play and the smooth investigation at night, the Demon Lord rested very well today and was in a very good mood, but after all, it was just a short rest, so only a part of the resentment was purified.
The Demon Lord's mood changes from 'quite happy' to 'quite happy', and the amount of resentment purified this round is 13,000. "
The amount of resentment purification has increased by another 3000!
The total number of clues increased rapidly, and the speed of resentment purification became faster and faster. Ren Suo breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he had always been a little panicked because he rarely played this kind of suspense puzzle game, especially since this game had a time limit (the number of rounds was definitely not infinite).
Therefore, Ren Suo was always very cautious when playing "Upside Down", because for this kind of game, if there is no strategy, the player will not be able to get through it by force - if you get stuck, you get stuck, you have the guts to blow up the game console.
Ren Suo had no choice but to carefully grasp all the details and reload the game countless times, in the hope of completing the game successfully. He didn't want to have to play the game again because he was just one round short or lacked a clue. That would not only waste time, but would also make it difficult for Ren Suo to concentrate on playing the game seriously.
This feeling, as if all the previous saves have lost their meaning, can make people feel very lost. Occasionally, when Rensuo is playing the game and forgets to save the game, and the game character suddenly dies, and he has to go through the story all over again, he always thinks, "Forget it, it's stupid to go through the story again."
Now two days have passed in the game, and Ren Suo feels that he has made a good start. If he proceeds according to the game plot, he should be able to pass it smoothly.
Then, it was the day of the third day of the escape.
"When he woke up in the morning, Master Mu felt that endless sin and resentment were like a heavy burden pressing on his shoulders, causing his mind to deteriorate rapidly. His mood changed from 'quite happy' to 'extremely irritable', and he even fell into a coma for a short time."
"Current amount of filth and hatred: 732220"
"The maid Xiaosuo noticed the change in Master Mu and tried to comfort him, but was kicked out of the room by him."
"Due to his mood, Master Mu cannot move during the day."
After a series of plots, Ren Suo was unable to do anything, and then the difficulty of the game doubled!
The previous filthy resentment was only more than 300,000, but now it has doubled, and Master Mu’s mood has deteriorated to the extreme, and he will even cancel the daytime round of actions.
Ren Suo was confused. What happened?
But after playing this game for more than ten hours, Ren Suo already knew the nature of this game. He immediately quit the game and opened "Xiaosuo's Secret Diary", only to see a few lines of bloody ink at the bottom:
"Could it be that the mastermind behind this is creating another disaster to slander the young master? But the young master has already fled to Yingzhou and has shut himself up in martial arts, so he can't be harmed by any trivial grudges..."
"The mastermind behind the scenes created a catastrophe comparable to the reversal of an earth dragon, and used the name of the young master, so that the huge hatred could cross a thousand miles and be attracted by the young master's body of the demon lord..."
"What should I do?"
Unexpectedly, this time the situation was obviously very serious, but Ren Suo only needed to spend 1 merit point to let the maid Xiaosuo come up with a solution - for him, this was basically no cost at all.
A line of heavy ink appeared in the diary: "We can only ask other seniors in the sect to help prevent the disaster and prevent it from happening. Then naturally no resentment will befall you, young master."
Master?
Did Master Mu have a master? Ren Suo thought he was the only one in the lineage.
But soon another line of ink appeared: "The seniors of our sect are now famous heroes in the martial arts world. Although they have no connection with you on the surface, I have been working hard to cultivate this relationship in secret. Why not let them guarantee you in their name? Maybe it can directly deter the six major sects and force them to conduct an in-depth investigation to clear your name!"
Ren Suo was stunned - you actually have such a powerful backer! ?
The seniors who can intimidate the six major sects!? And they are the "seniors", is your Demon Sect so prosperous? And the seniors have become great heroes, each of them is a fraud who can deceive the world!
Since you have such a powerful backer, then you should display it earlier and make the six major sects tremble under your feet!
Ren Suo quickly clicked on the line of ink, and was shocked to find that he had to earn another 5 merit points.
However, this seemed to be the simplest ending, so Ren Suo didn't care about it anymore. After spending the money, Fu Mo changed his mind quietly: "Okay, then I will send a letter by carrier pigeon, and pay a heavy price to let Senior take action!"
Ren Suo quickly loaded the game, thinking that this time he might be able to get the simplest ending, and the clearance rating might only be 60 points. However, a guaranteed rating of 60 points was not bad, at least Ren Suo had some confidence - this game had a limit of 20 days to clear the game.
After loading the file, 'The third day of escape, daytime'——
"At midnight, the maid Xiaosuo paid a heavy price and notified the seniors of the sect to take action to prevent the impending disaster."
"When he woke up in the morning, Master Mu felt that endless sin and resentment were like a vast ocean that had overwhelmed him, causing his mind to deteriorate rapidly. His mood changed from 'quite happy' to 'boiling with resentment', and he fell into a deep sleep."
「目前污秽怨恨量：18936540」
"The maid Xiaosuo noticed the change in Master Mu and went into the room to take care of him, but soon several blue-armored warriors broke in. In order to protect Master Mu, the maid Xiaosuo fought with them. While she was fighting, she saw Ayane looking at her with fear outside the door."
"The blue-armored warrior shouted 'Go to hell, you lackey of the devil', and severely injured the maid Xiaosuo one after another."
"Just when the maid Xiaosuo was about to give up, Master Mu woke up."
The screen was dark red, and Ren Suo saw Master Mu getting up from the bed by himself, but he had no way of controlling him.
All the skills in the skill bar are burning with dark red flames, the "Resentment" bar in the upper left corner is emitting a dazzling purple light, and the amount of resentment is still rising.
Master Mu looked at the maid Xiaosuo who was fighting bloody in front of him, stretched out his hand to push her away, and then successively activated the "Demonic Flame Fierce Sky", "Armor-Breaking Invisible Magic Sword", "Earth Demon Beheading" and other skills. The power was extremely terrifying, and instantly overturned the entire house, crushed all living things within a hundred meters, and destroyed all buildings within sight!
Only the maid Xiaosuo stood there blankly, looking at everything around her in a daze.
Mr. Mu glanced at her, walked over, hugged her and kissed her deeply.
The maid Xiaosuo's face became redder and redder as she was kissed, while Master Mu's face became paler and paler. After a moment, he pushed the maid Xiaosuo away and said, "Heal your wounds well."
After saying that, Master Mu stepped on the ground and rushed towards the warrior army that was galloping in the distance. The picture was also completely polluted by the dark red, and gradually fell into the turbid darkness...
"Ending: The whole game collapses: Master Mu eventually falls into the vortex of evil and completely transforms into the Demon Lord, bringing terror and despair to hundreds of millions of people and suppressing the coalition forces of the six major sects. In the bloody storm, thanks to the help of the hidden great hero, Master Mu was killed..."
After reading this ending, Ren Suo rubbed his temples, wondering what went wrong.
No, something went wrong right from the start.
Didn't the maid Xiaosuo already call on the seniors to take action? Why is it that if they don't take action, it will increase the resentment by more than 300,000, and if they take action, it will increase the resentment of Master Mu by more than 10 million! ?
Because of these more than 10 million resentments, Master Mu's sanity collapsed immediately, his humanity burned out, and he turned into a bloodless and tearless killing machine.
Although it is better than the previous "powerless" ending - in that ending he was beaten by the six major sects, and in this ending he beat the six major sects - he was still conquered in the end.
Ren Suo opened "Xiaosuo's Secret Diary" and spent 6 points of merit to help the maid Xiaosuo think about it, and then found the answer from it:
"The senior from our sect came out to defend me, and it seems that the mastermind behind this has been alerted."
"Because the young master's fundamental martial arts is the supreme magic that grabs the power of evil by wreaking havoc on the world, the six major sects have not actually released information about the young master, fearing that his martial arts skills will greatly increase, and no one in the world will be able to defeat him from now on."
"Except for those who died in the disaster, only a small number of warriors who know the inside story know that you are suspected of being a demon lord."
"But seeing that the six major sects were about to re-investigate the matter of the Demon Lord, the mastermind behind the scenes was afraid that he would be exposed, so he brazenly launched a back-up plan and spread the news that you are the Demon Lord who brought disaster to the world, causing all the resentment in the world to converge on you. Therefore, one wrong move ruined the whole game... You are irreversibly embarking on the path of the Demon Lord."
"The only solution now is to act in secret, find out the identity of the mastermind, cleanse the hatred in the young master, and then take down the mastermind in one fell swoop. Only then can we appear in front of the six major sects openly and honestly to clear the young master's grievances."
"I can only ask my seniors to save people, not protect them."
Ren Suo watched for a while, and slowly understood the plot setting of this game——
The protagonist is actually equivalent to a super bomb, but he himself does not want to explode, and the six major factions do not want him to explode either. The only one who wants him to explode is the mastermind, but it seems that the mastermind just wants him to be on the verge of exploding.
Then, because of the appearance of the senior master, the mastermind behind the scenes realized that his plan might be exposed, so he didn't care about anything and directly detonated the protagonist.
In this way, the protection of the senior master is naturally meaningless, and everyone can only work together to resolve the bomb of the protagonist, and there is naturally no possibility of his identity being exposed...
The mastermind behind this had made such thorough preparations that Ren Suo felt it would be unfair if he didn't succeed - these days, the real bad guys are indeed more dedicated.
I loaded the game for the third time, and this time nothing happened.
Ren Suo watched the maid Xiaosuo chatting with Master Mu in the morning and couldn't help but secretly shook his head: Master Mu, Master Mu, you don't know that your peaceful daily life is actually made up of countless miracles...
I don't know what kind of heavy price the maid Xiaosuo paid to make the senior master take action, and how she usually maintains a relationship with the senior master...
For a moment, Ren Suo was lost in thought, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.
Suddenly, the naked clone came into the room, patted him on the shoulder, indicated that his time was up, pointed to the living room outside, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Ren Suo blinked and immediately remembered something. He went to the living room and saw three sets of women's clothes that had been ironed and neatly placed on the sofa, including underwear.
These clothes were naturally not worn by him, nor by his clone, but by——
Ren Suo put on the "Clear Spring Flowing Sound" and snapped his fingers, and the seeker quietly came in from the balcony outside.
Time was precious, and the two looked at each other in tacit understanding. Then the seeker took the clothes and turned away, disappearing into the air.
After summoning the Seeker last time, the Seeker made another request to Ren Suo, asking for more clothes. Ren Suo accepted the request, but he didn't dare to copy other friends' clothing combinations this time - Dong Chengling became suspicious.
So he went online to look for some popular outfits. After all, a seeker with a good figure and good looks would look good in anything, so she shouldn't mind.
However, these clothes had to be washed and ironed before they could be given to her. Ren Suo couldn't hang women's clothes out to dry, so he had to ask his clone to take the time to wash and iron them one by one, and it was not done until today.
Ren Suo summoned the seeker to give her three sets of clothes. The whole process took only 5 seconds, and her star level was very stable.
Although it was a bit of a waste to spend the time available for summoning here, Ren Suo didn't mind at all - let alone the seeker, he would also try his best to fulfill the requests of other game characters.
After they developed their own thoughts, Ren Suo no longer viewed them as playthings, but as friends with whom he could communicate on an equal footing, or even as predecessors who could serve as his teachers.
If spending a little bit of important summoning time can maintain or even improve their relationship, Ren Suo will naturally not be stingy. 8)
