Chapter 109: The Cave of Sorrow (18) The only player who answered the questions seriously
: Meet the wise king!
: Meet the wise king!
: Meet the wise king!
…
The first frame of the video was dominated by these four words, and some people also said strange things like "I am late", "The Knights greet His Majesty the King", and "Congratulations to Princess Tangtang for ascending the throne".
Duan Song's living room was packed with people. Guns N' Roses leader Xu Xingchen and his daughter Xu Xingyun were also there to watch the video projection together.
Seeing the words "Xian Wang", the enemy rabbit paused while chewing the dried vegetables and said, "Xian Wang?"
He doesn't hang out on forums, so he didn't know that netizens had snatched the title of Wise King for Gao Mengtang.
"What's wrong?" Gao Geng was typing on the computer keyboard and didn't even look at him.
The feeling of resistance rose from his stomach, stirring his internal organs and making them feel uncomfortable. Su Ji Meng's good mood for the day was ruined by these two words.
Even he himself could not explain why he was so resistant to the word "virtuous king".
He forgot too much. In the diary he found, the words "virtuous king" were avoided as if it were a taboo. It was like a dead seed that had been buried for too long and had grown evil roots.
In the corner of the living room, Gao Geng and Su Ji Meng were chattering.
Gao Geng turned his head, his hands still on the keyboard: "Su Ji Meng, do you think my brother is a wise king?"
Su Ji Meng frowned, and said in a rare cold tone: "Tangtang is not something that people would hate."
"You mentioned the Xian Wang in your diary." Gao Geng asked, "Is the Xian Wang my brother?"
"I avoid these two words like a taboo and only mention them when I have no choice. I have no record of what the Wise King is. Why are you bringing up something else?" Su Ji Meng lowered his voice, and the left half of his face dissolved, turning into the appearance of a scarlet undead, with misty white pupils waiting for him.
"Secret Keeper 13-1028, I come from the other side of the world. In my eyes, you are no harder than a carrot."
Gao Geng stared at him for a moment, then calmly withdrew his gaze, with the red light of a chip flashing in his eyes.
Micro-expression analysis: Anxiety 43%, uneasiness 26%, anger 11%, fear 19%.
The remaining emotions, including panic, concealment, and lies, accounted for less than 1%
Enemy Rabbit had not lied to them, he himself did not know that he was once the crown prince of the Wise King and should have ascended the throne to become the Seventh Wise King.
After coming to this conclusion, Gao Geng cleared "Test Su Ji Meng" from the to-do list in his mind and continued typing.
“Hahahahahahahahahahaha!” He Lun’s barbell-like, destructive laughter broke the ice in the corner, “As expected of Brother Mengtang, I encountered a ghost, but I still have to go to sleep.”
The video shows Gao Mengtang almost being chopped by a ghost. After being out of danger, he lies down next to the axe mark, wrapped in a quilt and ready to sleep.
Xu Xingchen clapped his hands repeatedly: "Relaxation, relaxation."
: It’s okay to be haunted, but don’t disturb my sleep.
: The blind man, the husband in the horror movie.
: Ghost Life Suffers Waterloo
: It's normal for a blind person not to be afraid since he can't see clearly. A blessing in disguise, hahaha.
: Who says the blind can't see clearly? His visual cells are different from those of humans, so his vision is very good. Isn't this a well-known fact?
Well, it’s “well-known” that even I don’t know.
When the video reached the part where Qin Xishuang and the other two went to the Forest of Steles together, Qin Xishuang suddenly disappeared.
Bai Jie jumped up anxiously: "Oh no! He is definitely going to do something bad!"
A strange nursery rhyme sounded, with a simple melody and bloody lyrics, coming from the grove in the dark night, making people shudder.
The camera slowly moves towards the woods on the east side, and Gao Mengtang and the other two are approaching here.
Then, the camera turned and filmed from behind the woods on the west side. Wolanbei turned his back to the camera, raised his sniper rifle and aimed at the back of their heads.
"There's an ambush, there's an ambush!" the people outside the screen shouted.
Seeing that Wei Wei was about to attack the woods on the east side, Wolanbei's finger was on the trigger.
At the same moment the gunshot occurred, He Luo's tentacles, like dark green lightning, smashed into the woods on the west side, instantly severely injuring the two men.
The fight was swift and fierce. Before the audience could even finish their reaction time, Qin Xishuang was seriously injured.
"Your level of false pronunciation is very high, but it's still a little off. It's one degree lower than what I heard last night. There are also two words in the middle that are not caught, which is a whole tone lower."
Gao Mengtang pinched his index finger and thumb: "Just a little bit, try harder next time."
: Oh my god, you can even hear that!
: If it were me, I would definitely be dead now.
: Earlier, you said that a blind person cannot see clearly. Now, are you slapping him in the face? His five senses are so sharp!
: Hearing and vision are two completely different things!
The blind man is out of danger, and everyone breathes a sigh of relief. Next, there is a slow-paced clip. Xu Xingchen walks around to calm down.
He turned behind Gao Geng and saw that he was concentrating on typing on the keyboard with an Excel spreadsheet on the screen.
"Come and see how capable the members of Yuefan are!" Xu Xingchen called out to his men, "Watch the clearance video and remember to record the key points. You all should learn from them."
Seven or eight people gathered around. At this time, Xu Xingchen looked carefully and his smile froze.
Gao Geng did record some key points in the clearance video, but...
My younger brother’s hair is frizzy, so Wei Wei didn’t apply hair oil on him.
Pegana rubbed the dog hair on her brother.
No one covered my brother with a blanket when he went to sleep.
Freesia had a bad sleeping posture and kicked her brother twice.
There are nearly a hundred records classified into different categories.
Look at the file name again: "Baby Brother's Memo"
Xu Xingchen: “…”
The others who were called over by Xu Xingchen and were ready to study: "..."
Gao Geng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He turned the computer around and let them see it openly.
After a long period of embarrassment, Xu Xingchen laughed dryly: "Brother Excel...ah no, Brother Leader, this, this is called brotherly love!"
Others: "Ah, yes, yes, brothers working together can accomplish anything! Hahaha!"
There was a lot of noise on the other side.
"Oh, it's the butcher! The butcher appeared in the bathroom!"
In the video, Gao Mengtang kept the water running for a long time, but it was getting colder and colder. He sighed, "Is it haunted again? Can't you come back later? At least let me finish my shower."
: A classic reappears.
: Ghost sister, please be more sensible next time. Come on stage after the blind man has taken a bath.
: System, your mosaic hits your neck? ?
: Is there anything that our noble followers cannot see?
: The real disappointment is not caused by making a big noise.
: I’m convinced hahahaha, the blind man said “there’s a butcher in the bathroom” in the tone of “there’s a mosquito in the bathroom”!
: Look at the expression of the body wash master, he is confused○
: The feeling of relaxation you have been pursuing all your life
The video progress bar reached the end and the audience was reluctant to leave. Suddenly, someone discovered the blind spot.
When a player enters a different dimension (such as a branch dungeon space, [The Hanging Lake of the Past], [The Proverbs of the Past], [The Ebb and Flow of the Past], and other spaces independent of the dungeon), the entry time and exit time will be marked on the progress bar.
Generally speaking, when editing a video, these two time points will be far apart, often with a video in between.
But this time, there was only one minute between the two time points.
: The blind man entered the secret realm [Past·Reflow]!
: What’s going on, extreme speed vortex?
Players all know how difficult secret realms like [Past·Island] are.
If the ending required by the system is not reached, it will start from the beginning in an infinite loop with no save points in between.
During this period, the player's status is constantly consumed. In this kind of secret realm, the player will not die directly, but will be driven crazy. Edited into a video, it is also more than 10 minutes long.
: Did the blind man force his way out?
：I think you guessed it right.
The audience stared intently, their nerves tense, ready to watch the blind man kill everyone.
However, the video has a slowed-down pace, with long shots, beautiful compositions, and soothing background music.
Gao Mengtang set up the tent and started camping.
The style of the vlog changed from high-energy excitement, suspense and thriller to ordinary daily vlog, and the audience was collectively confused.
It must be that you first suppress and then promote, and then you reach a climax!
They waited nervously, and found that in the next video, the blind man was really camping. Washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, barbecuing, playing with the dog... It was peaceful, warm and leisurely.
With soothing and melodious background music, the drunkard drowned in the river.
Time-lapse photography of the rising and setting of the sun and the setting of the moon. On the second night, a small cargo ship came on the river. Gao Mengtang stuffed a gold ingot pendant into the ship and boarded it.
In the last scene, before leaving the secret realm, Gao Mengtang changes back into his own body.
On the deck, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, the night wind blew into his loose white shirt, like a small paper can being blown up, leaving behind a plain but reassuring back. Above his head, the stars were shining.
The secret realm [Past Events·Reflow] ends. The video also ends here.
: Cleared the level? ? Really cleared the level? ?
: What is relaxation? (Tactical retreat)
: Just showing off your camp will clear the level with one life? That shouldn't be the case. This is a secret realm created by the butcher.
: Um, I'm not being bashful, I'm just simply raising a small question based on what I saw. Did the blind man do anything? ?
：This secret realm is so simple.
: A true win without any effort, you don’t even need teammates, just lie down and win.
Someone came over from another channel and said: Go watch the clearance videos of the Purifier and the Drowned Ghost, this secret realm is not easy at all!
Duan Song first found the video of Freesia, dragged the progress bar to enter the secret realm, and watched it on projection.
In the video, Freesia appears alone in the barren mountains, wandering around aimlessly.
After strolling around for a while, she lowered her head and touched her belly.
Not far away, a drowning drunk was struggling hard.
Freesia immediately jumped into the river and dragged the drunk to shore.
: Wow, what a kind little girl.
: A small body holding heavy kindness.
: My sister is so great!
The next second, with a click, Freesia broke the drunk's neck, sucked his blood, ate his flesh, and burped.
: Good guy, good appetite, good teeth.
: What a little girl with a nuclear hernia.
: Throw the leftovers into the river to feed the fish. Don’t waste food. What a good baby.
After eating the person, Xiao Canglan's belly was full, but she didn't go back to Changming Village. She walked and stopped along the way, wandering around without direction.
During the trip, they encountered bandits, forest rangers, and herbalists from Changming Village. Some of them were armed with long knives, and some were armed with guns.
Freesia's tactics are simple: kill first and eat later.
During the process, she was shot twice. After she was resurrected, she learned from her experience, took a detour, and launched a sneak attack.
In the last cycle, Freesia spent seven days and seven nights to get out of the mountains and escape from Changming Village. The secret realm ended.
: The way is very wild, but only Freesia can do it. She has the blood of the dead and has a strong physical fitness.
: In Xing'er's secret realm, you cannot use props, skills, and weapons, and players are just like ordinary people. How can ordinary players be so good at fighting and tearing people apart with bare hands?
: Eat raw meat, drink fresh blood, and never get stomach problems. Envy.
: The focus is on raw meat, the focus is on human flesh!
: Hannibal Freesia Lecter
: Crazy, really crazy.
He Lun held the tablet in his hand and jumped up from the sofa: "Go watch Brother Wei's clearance video, this is the correct way to solve the problem!"
*
Wei Wei also encountered a drunk man drowning.
After thinking for a while, he decided to help her. It was not because he was kind, but because he wanted to find out what Xing'er had been through.
Unable to use weapons, He Luo was sealed. Wei Wei's swimming buff disappeared, and he struggled to drag the drunk to shore, shivering with cold.
Even with the strengthening effect on his body still there, it was still so difficult. I couldn't imagine how much courage and perseverance it took for an ordinary girl like Xing'er to rescue the drunkard.
The situation did not improve. The drunkard had lost consciousness due to lack of oxygen.
What should be done? How did Xing Er save him?
The medical book hidden in his sleeve fell out at this moment. Wei Wei opened it and saw that the bookmark was on the page about cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Wei Wei: ...No way.
Could it be that... He slowly moved his gaze to the drunkard, and a terrible thought popped up in his mind.
Could it be that silly girl Xing'er performed CPR on him?
The first time around, Wei Wei didn't get in. He threw the drunk on the shore and left alone.
The drunkard died, and the villagers found his body on the shore, thinking that he was murdered. The drunkard's parents started to make a fuss, and the whole village helped to find the murderer.
They found Xing'er's footprints on the river bank and caught the fleeing Wei Wei in the forest and beat him to death.
In the second cycle, Wei Wei chose not to rescue the drunkard, and the drunkard's body sank into the lake and would not be found within a week. He, like Xiao Canglan, fled directly into the mountains.
However, without the support of weapons, skills and props, Wei Wei's physical strength is far inferior to that of Freesia, and he cannot eat raw meat.
Wei Wei became more cautious. He noticed that the river was wide and the water was deep, and there would be ships passing by, so he walked along the river bank.
The next night, they encountered the cargo ship again, but the captain saw that Xing'er's face was so ugly, she had no money, props were prohibited, and Wei Wei could not produce anything. The captain was too lazy to pay attention to her and left, leaving only two water marks.
: You are not invited.
: Mr. Wei, work hard to make money. Money is always money, hahaha!
Renxin Valley was damp and foggy, with poisonous insects everywhere. Fortunately, Wei Wei loved to eat insects and knew how to eat them. He survived for three days by roasting spiders, centipedes, and grasshoppers.
: Help! I'm eating!
: Master, you look fair and clean, how can you eat roasted spider without changing your expression?
: You forgot what happened earlier. What does Gu Kang do?
: Wei Wei can't hold on for long. It took Xiao Canglan seven days and seven nights to get out. Wei Wei's speed is much slower than hers. I guess it will take him at least 12 days to get out.
As expected, on the fifth day, after walking only one-third of the distance, Wei Wei fell ill in the mountains.
In the third cycle, Wei Wei's mental value was 550 points, which left him with little room for trial and error.
Returning to the river bank again, Wei Wei sat on the hillside, sighed, and said to himself: "There is no shortcut, I still have to complete the plot step by step..."
: There are shortcuts, but they are not for you [doge]
: After Wei Wei went out, he would be very dissatisfied when he saw that the blind man and the drowned ghost passed the level more easily than him, right?
: It was not easy for Freesia to clear the game. I counted that she had 11 bloody battles in seven days. If it weren’t for her physical fitness being at a bug level, she would definitely not have been able to make it.
: The only ones who are relaxed are the blind.
In the third cycle, Wei Wei still did not save the drowning drunk. He went straight back to Changming Village, wanting to take some money and take a bus to the town to leave.
The arrangement of fate was hasty and absurd. The drunkard got lost and his family couldn't find their son, so they went crazy and threw a tantrum. The drunkard's family lived close to Xingzi's family, and the two families had been at odds for a long time. Before that, the drunkard had bullied Xing'er a lot.
The drunken parents bit people like crazy, insisting that Xingzi had a grudge against their son and killed him. They cried, made a scene, and threatened to hang themselves, which alerted the witch and the police, who took Xing'er to the police station and interrogated her.
Li Xing was put on the focus list. Wei Wei stole the money, bought a ticket, and was caught on the way.
Everyone was more convinced that Xing'er had fled for fear of punishment. As a result, he was sentenced without knowing why and failed to escape.
The third cycle took half a month, and the remaining spiritual value was 490 points.
The fourth time he appeared at the river bank, Wei Wei held his forehead in distress and said, "This drunkard must be saved."
: Wei Wei said, I was forced to do good things.
: Hahaha, looking at Wei Wei’s expression, it’s obvious that he wants to strangle him to death.
: The drunkard had been drowning for so long, it was not enough to drag him to shore. He also needed CPR.
: This, this, this, how can you eat this?
: I feel sorry for Wei Wei.
: Judging from his expression, Wei Wei is the one who looks like he is about to die.
Wei Wei's face was ashen, and he performed several sets of standard artificial respiration. The drunkard's chest trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of water. His scattered eyes gradually gathered. After waking up, the first scene he saw was Xing'er propping up his head with her knees, lying on his face...
"Oh, uh. Ugh!" The drunk pushed Xingzi away, his brows furrowed, his facial features shrunken into a ball.
Wei Wei thought he was in pain and went over to check his injuries. As soon as he put his hand on the drunk's chest, he was slapped away with a loud bang.
"Are your ribs broken?" Wei Wei asked. CPR often breaks ribs. "Don't worry, you are out of danger..."
"Get away from me!" the man yelled.
Wei Wei:?
No matter how you look at it, I am your savior, who are you asking to go away?
"You fucking kissed me when I was unconscious?!" He rubbed his mouth hard, wishing he could peel off a layer of skin, "Damn it, I'm so unlucky to be favored by a thing like you!"
Wei Wei frowned and patiently explained, "I was giving you artificial respiration just now. If I hadn't saved you, you would have drowned."
"Bullshit, you just fell in love with me. No one wants an ugly bastard, so I'm just horny!" The drunk picked up a stone and smashed it directly at Wei Wei's face, "Get out, get out now!"
Wei Wei was completely stunned. He never expected that the person whose life was saved would despise his savior for being ugly and not give him a romantic encounter.
When this incident happened to Wei Wei, he just felt that it really opened his eyes, and he did not feel sad or grief.
Firstly, the drunkard disliked Xing Er's appearance, not his own. Secondly, Wei Wei was a mature person and would not be easily swayed by other people's comments.
But Xing Er is still a little girl, she loves medicine so much and hopes to save lives...
The drunk man left Wei Wei behind and staggered towards Changming Village.
On the river bank, Xing'er was the only one left, all alone.
A ghostly, complaining voice rang in Wei Wei's ears: "I don't deserve to be a good person."
"I don't deserve it..."
Wei Wei saw the shadow of Xing'er, squatting on the river bank, looking at his own shadow.
She was not good-looking to begin with, and the undulating river made her figure distorted and even more bizarre. Xing'er squatted by the river for a long time. She had thick limbs and was a bit fat, and her squatting posture was also clumsy and ridiculous.
The medical book was thrown into the wet mud. Before leaving, the drunkard stepped on it hard, leaving a dirty shoe print covering the three beautiful characters "Li Xing'er".
That was the name she wrote carefully, stroke by stroke.
Xing'er reached out and touched the water. When ripples appeared, her emotions suddenly burst out. She burst into tears, and the whole valley echoed with her sad voice: "Just because I'm ugly, I'm not even worthy of being a good person!"
: I am an obstetrician and gynecologist, and this is the first birth.
: The fist is hard, in this case sashimi is recommended.
: It is recommended to eat it raw with freesia to prevent high blood pressure.
: Although, being bitten by an ugly girl like Xing'er is really disgusting for half a month.
: Please don’t delete the previous one. I want to see how Freesia arranges the dish for you.
The shadow left the shore and walked more than ten meters in the direction of Changming Village before disappearing with a bang. Wei Wei took two deep breaths, adjusted his state, and followed back to Changming Village.
In the village, the drunk's friends found him and helped him to the old house of Wu Xiang for treatment. As luck would have it, Wei Wei overheard their conversation.
"When I woke up, I saw Li Xing hugging my face and kissing me. It was more disgusting than if she was dead."
"Fuck, that ugly bastard, she can't get married, but she can't control herself when she sees a man."
"You've suffered, brother. She looks dirty, with big buck teeth and a foul smell in her mouth. Ugh!"
The drunkard shouted, "I will report her and tell the great witch about her shameless deeds! Let the whole village see clearly that she is an ugly, slutty bitch!"
Wei Wei was soaked all over and was shivering with cold. Hearing these words, he felt even colder.
As I was walking towards home, I saw the Ghost Doctor Temple under the banyan tree from afar.
Xing'er's shadow appeared again, and she walked and cried as she entered the temple.
This was not "crying with joy", it was clearly crying bitterly. Wei Wei sighed and followed him into the temple.
"Brother Limo, if there is an afterlife, please bless me to be as beautiful as you," Xing'er knelt on the futon, sobbing softly, "Well, I don't have to be particularly beautiful. Just a little whiter, with straighter teeth and smoother hair..."
Li Xing imagined what she would look like in her next life. What would be considered beautiful? She thought that except for her, all the girls in the village were beautiful.
"I like a small nose with delicate skin." Myolie Lee picked out her favorite feature, "It would be best if it has dimples, so that it looks cute when you smile."
She pleaded devoutly, made a wish, lit three incense sticks, and began to kowtow.
After knocking his head for 10 minutes, his forehead was bruised. He found a hemp rope, threw it onto the beam, and brought over a wooden stool. The shadow disappeared.
Without a pipe, Wei Wei held a stick of incense between his index and middle fingers and sat alone in the dark temple, in a daze.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Meditating?" A girl stepped over the threshold. It was a familiar face, the same one who cursed Gao Mengtang for a bad death.
Before Wei Wei could say anything, the girl asked again: "Why are you wet? It didn't rain today."
Turning her head, the girl caught a glimpse of the beam. The shadow disappeared, but the hemp rope she had thrown was still hanging on the beam.
The girl screamed: "You want to commit suicide??!"
Wei Wei: “I…”
The girl's words were even more vicious than Wei Wei had imagined: "The beams in your house are not enough for you to hang yourself? You have to run to the temple to commit suicide? What, do you also fantasize about marrying the ghost doctor and becoming a queen after ascending to heaven?"
...Li Xing was so unlucky. She was ready to hang herself, but she ran into such a little devil.
Although the devil girl said this, she cared more about Li Xing's suicide than Li Xing did. She kicked the stool over, pulled the rope off the beam, took a pair of scissors, and cut it viciously.
Wei Wei: "What about you? Why did you enter the temple?"
"Come whenever you want." The girl raised her chin, as if it was a matter of course.
Wei Wei: "Which family are you from?"
"It's the town," the girl said. "What does it have to do with you? Are you going to die or not?"
Many people in Changming Village have accents, and they can't tell n from l. Listening to the girl's speech, she really doesn't sound like a local, but rather has a bit of a Central Plains accent. She dresses well, too, with branded clothes and shoes.
The disembodied voice of the butcher, Li Xing'er, rang in my ears. She said, "Sorry, I won't hang myself here. I'll go hang myself somewhere else."
Wei Wei repeated the sentence exactly as it was, and the girl was so angry that she cried out, "What is so hard to get over that you have to die?"
"Sister, you live in the town. I'm only telling you this. Don't spread it. It's too embarrassing..."
Wei Wei followed the instructions and recounted his experience that night. After listening, the girl laughed angrily: "You saved him, and he still thinks you are ugly? What kind of fairy does he look like? I want to see it. Come on, tell me where he lives!"
Xing Er hurriedly tried to calm things down and continued, "That drunkard will definitely tell others about this. I haven't even married yet, but I kissed a man. This is too shameful. I can either die or leave. I definitely can't stay in Changming Village anymore..."
"Then just run away. It would be really shameful to die because of this." The girl screamed at the top of her lungs.
Xing Er: "I...I don't have any money."
The girl searched her body thoroughly and found 15 yuan of pocket money, which she stuffed into Xing'er's hands: "This is all I have. I'll see if I can find some more money for you. Wait for me these few days."
Xing Er refused: "No, no, it's not easy for your parents to earn money."
"Where are my parents? I'm an orphan." The girl said indifferently.
Hearing this, Wei Wei was slightly surprised. The girl was an orphan, and judging from her clothes, she was very elegant. Where did she get the money?
Xing'er was sobbing, and the devilish little girl looked impatient and rubbed her face with her sleeve: "Stop, stop crying!"
"Thank you, sister. What's your name?"
"Xing Zhe." The little girl said, and stuffed something into Wei Wei's hand. "I just picked it up. It looks valuable. It should be worth some money for the trip. Take it."
Wei Wei looked down and saw that the thing in his palm was actually the black jade pendant from the Yin-Yang Pisces pendant!
