Chapter 23 Princess Castle Rules (3) You use the touch of the ancient god...
When I returned to the bedroom, Gao Geng was not in the room. But the bathtub was filled with hot water and flower petals, and the fragrance and hot air wafted out, making me feel happy.
The lighting was adjusted to a warm ambient light, and a few pillows were placed beside the bed to serve as a nest for the rabbits. There was also a handful of alfalfa and timothy grass that rabbits love to eat.
For safety reasons, Gao Mengtang, Wei Wei and He Lun decided to live in one bedroom.
Anyway, the rules don't prohibit multiple people from living in one room.
He Lun said, "Brother, he has prepared tea for you. What an exquisite tea set. It's on the bedside table. I'll help you over there."
Gao Mengtang was supported by him and walked over, with one hand on the lid of the teapot, but did not open it immediately.
"What's wrong, bro?"
After a few seconds, Gao Mengtang opened the teapot, and a rich and mellow aroma of black tea wafted out.
Gao Mengtang doesn't drink any flavored beverages, including black tea. My brother should know this.
It seems that Gao Geng really forgot about him.
Gao Mengtang placed the teapot lid on the tray and lay on his back on the bed, staring at the ceiling with misty eyes.
In the "Monster Book", some relevant information about Gao Geng was unlocked, but there was almost no useful information.
Name: No. 13-1028
Background story: He has been in an uninhabited area for many years. We know very little about him. The corrosion state of the mechanical arm and wires seems to prove that he comes from the bottom of the sea.
Note: No. 13-1028 can be liberated.
That's it. It's just a few lines, and it takes only a few seconds to read.
The higher the favorability, the more contacts you have, and the more detailed the introduction in the Monster Book. Gao Mengtang has been in contact with her brother for several hours, and her favorability has risen to the maximum. Logically speaking, all that can be unlocked should have been unlocked.
This means that all the information known by the Monster Book is just these three lines.
The prerequisite for the supernatural power is also strange: Help 13-1028 find his brain (unfinished)
He Lun actively offered suggestions: "Could it be that finding the brain is a hint? The actual meaning is that 1028 is stupid and we need to help him improve his intelligence. Let's feed him a few bottles of inspiration potion and see."
Gao Mengtang: "My brother won the gold medal in a competition when he was 15 and was admitted to Zhongzhou University. He took the college entrance examination without reviewing and his total score was 722."
He Lun immediately shut up.
Wei Wei took a shower and came out wrapped in a white towel, smelling fragrant and surrounded by steam and smoke. "System tasks won't play word puzzles with players. I guess that finding the brain means finding the brain of 13-1028."
If you want to verify your guess, the easiest way is to call Gao Geng over to verify it.
Gao Mengtang rang the bell, and soon Gao Geng appeared at the door.
"I'm going to flick your forehead." Gao Mengtang said.
Faced with such a nonsensical request, Gao Geng's face remained calm: "Why? Are you in a bad mood?"
Gao Mengtang: "Don't ask. I'm going to flick your forehead, do you agree or not?"
"Of course I agree." Gao Geng maintained a calm and composed expression and walked into the room.
Perhaps because his body had been mechanically modified, Gao Geng was taller than before, estimated to be over 190cm tall. Gao Mengtang led him to sit on the bed, stood between his legs, and pulled his hair.
In real life, Gao Geng always had the same buzz cut as the academic master. Now his hair has grown a lot longer, and he combed it into a side-parted slicked back style with hairspray. His hair feels stiff.
My hair is dry and smells like sea salt.
Half of it is a normal skull covered with skin. The other half is an exposed mechanical skull. When it is joined at the top of the head, a clear gap can be felt.
Gao Mengtang knocked on the metal skull.
Boom. A hollow sound.
It sounds like there's nothing underneath the skull.
But he was not sure, so he made a circle with his index finger and thumb and flicked it all over Gao Geng's head.
He Lun watched from the side, not even daring to breathe.
Although the NPC's favorability rises slowly, it drops quickly! These brains are not vague at all, and they bounce back with full strength.
Each hit was like a bullet hitting He Lun's heart, frightening him to death, fearing that the favorability of the Prince of No Man's Land would decrease.
But above his head, the big words "Dancing Partner of 000 Blind Men" remained motionless, as solid as a rock.
Is this brotherhood?
Gao Geng's head kept ringing, but his expression didn't change at all. He sat on the edge of the bed, looked up at Gao Mengtang's face, and put his arms around his brother's waist.
After knocking more than twenty times, Gao Mengtang was sure that Gao Geng's head was empty. He had no brain.
Finding the brain is really just finding the brain.
After playing enough, Gao Mengtang thought that this was his brother, so he touched his head and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Gao Geng tightened his arms and placed them on Gao Mengtang's lower back: "It doesn't hurt. How about you?"
"What hurts me?"
"Does your hand hurt?"
Gao Mengtang: “…”
"I only drink mineral water and purified water. No tea, no drinks at all."
"Yeah. I remember that."
Gao Geng stood up and brushed Gao Mengtang's curly hair behind her ears with one hand: "Now that you've had enough fun, let's go to sleep."
Before leaving, Gao Geng suddenly stopped. He seemed to remember something and half turned around to look at Gao Mengtang: "Your eyes."
Gao Mengtang was looking in another direction. Gao Geng's hand almost touched his eyeballs, but he didn't blink. His long, straight eyelashes drooped, and his eyes had an inorganic, ethereal beauty.
Although Gao Mengtang knew that the monster in the dungeon was not his brother, he still didn't want to make the "Prince of No Man's Land" worry, so he said, "It doesn't matter. I don't need to see it clearly."
Anyway, his spirit value is 999, so he can eat the eye-protecting blueberries of the Hundred-Eyed Wizard to gain temporary vision. He also has the care of He Lun and the protection of Wei Wei.
The system prompt sounded: [0000 Blind's game highlights have reached the required length and have been edited and uploaded to the platform]
*
The dungeons in the Black Tower vary in length. For example, it only takes 4 or 5 hours to complete the entire 8th floor, while it takes at least 7 days to complete the Princess Castle Rules and Tales.
Because of the dense plot, short-term dungeons can often gather enough exciting clips every hour, while the one-hour long dungeon may be mediocre, and the players may even be sleeping.
At this time, the interval between video releases will increase by hours, and will be uploaded only when the length is sufficient.
Gao Mengtang was the first one to upload the second video.
The audience flocked to the scene.
The game video of the [8th Floor] copy made some players suspect that Gao Mengtang was an ancient god, but the first video uploaded by [Princess Castle Rules Weird Stories] made most players certain that Gao Mengtang was an ancient god.
There is no other player in the entire server who can max out the NPC's favorability within one second.
That video doubled Gao Mengtang's popularity and put him on the top of the hot recommendation list. As soon as the video was released, the number of real-time viewers reached 2,000+
The video title is "Dangerous behavior, non-professionals please do not imitate"
As soon as I clicked on it, the barrage filled the screen.
: The blind man has released his second video! Faster than 207 Butterfly Fairy.
: There are so many people. Blind man, you are really famous.
: I started following it since the first copy of Blind Man. I’m an old fan hehehe.
The video starts from unlocking rules 6 to 12. The player is at the butler's place, choosing a dress and a waist ornament.
: Was there a toll payment process in the previous instance? Why don't I remember it?
: Back to the front, no. I compared the [Princess Castle Rules Strange Stories] where the blind man is, and the book that other players have cleared, the similarity is only 20%, almost all the rules are different, but the main task is the same, both are to invite dance partners to the dance.
: Wei Wei is a miser who is unwilling to spend even a few hundred dollars!
: What does the waist ornament symbolize? Why is it important to wear a waist ornament?
Gao Geng walked over from behind the camera, the silver-embroidered cape on his shoulders flashing, creating a circle of glare in front of the camera. When he appeared, the entire screen lit up.
He put a diamond waist chain on Gao Mengtang from behind: "I hope you like the dress I prepared for you."
The gorgeous dress shone brightly, making other dresses look pale in comparison. However, Gao Mengtang casually nudged the NPC with his elbow and told him to send it to the room, amid the envious gazes of others.
: Hmm??? What kind of attitude is this?
: The blind man was really calm, he was not surprised at all! If it were any other player, being flattered by the NPC in the guide book would be a bit flattered!
: ID is the big guy who did the research. Now I believe your analysis.
Research and study is Yan Tao's ID. He believes that Gao Geng is a believer of the blind.
Gao Mengtang returned to the bedroom, he opened the lid of the teapot and took a look. The camera zoomed in and gave a close-up of the black tea.
Then, Gao Mengtang rang the bell and called the Prince of No Man's Land over...
Started hitting his head.
：Wait a minute, I can’t keep up, let me watch it again.
: He flicked the NPC's head?! You think the favorability is too high, right? It's quite a lot.
: Now I understand why the title of the video is "Dangerous behavior, non-professionals please do not imitate."
: The system is reliable and no one dares to imitate it.
: This is so funny, professionals, you mean full-time ancient gods, right?
: The prince of no man's land was hit on the head, but his arms were still around the blind man's waist. Hahaha, why does he look a little doting?
The NPC's noble head kept buzzing. The blind man finally finished playing the piano, and the NPC still asked, "Does your hand hurt?"
: Crazy, can you give me one tenth of the kindness that NPCs show to the blind? I spent half my life trying to get through this walkthrough last time!
: Anyway, why did the blind man bully the prince? Just because he was in a bad mood?
The next second, the video gives the answer.
Gao Mengtang stood beside the bed, his chin raised and his eyes slightly lowered: "I only drink purified water or mineral water, not tea. I don't drink any beverages."
Gao Geng: "Yes. I remember it."
：I have the following six points to say…
: Oh no, the blind man called the NPC to give him a beating on the head just because Red Tea was in a bad mood?! That's too indulgent.
: Prince, just pamper him.
: The blind man is an ancient god! He does not need to be pampered, he only needs to be obedient, pious, and unswerving.
: Yes! This is not pampering, this is contempt for everything and doing whatever one wants. He wanted to punish his followers because he didn't drink the pure water.
Before leaving the room, the No Man's Land Prince turned around and said, "Your eyes."
Gao Mengtang looked in a certain direction with an arrogant and indifferent expression (actually he couldn't see clearly and his eyes were weak): "It doesn't matter, I don't need to see clearly."
The last shot is a close-up of Gao Mengtang’s eyes. In those glass-like eyes, there is only desolation.
：This sentence is quite informative. The blind man said he "does not need" to see clearly. Is vision dispensable to him?
: It suddenly occurred to me that gods are indescribable and beyond our comprehension. How could their senses be the same as those of ordinary people like us? A blind man cannot see, but he can sense with the tentacles of the ancient gods!
: In other words, a blind person cannot see clearly, but his world is not completely dark. He can "see" what is happening around him in another way?
: The blind man is so sensitive to the smell of blood, just like a shark. He said he has a good sense of smell, but it's actually the tentacles of the ancient god that sense it!
: What's even more terrifying is that what the ancient god's tentacles sense is very likely different from what we see. What we see is a hanging corpse with a strange head, and what the blind man's tentacles sense is a balloon.
: I broke out in a cold sweat. The visual world of the blind is different from ours. They are always hiding!
Behind the screen, Yan Tao opened his eyes wide.
In the [8th Floor] dungeon, the blind man mistook the corpse of the Hundred-Eyed Wizard for a cute little thing.
Things that are extremely terrifying to humans should be as cute as kittens and puppies to ancient gods!
There are also those deformed, twisted, and strange-headed hanging corpses. The blind man thought they were decorative balloons. Perhaps the ancient god's missionary black tower used these barbaric and bloody things as decorations.
Yan Tao had already imagined a dark temple and a feast of decadence. Corpses were used as balloons, internal organs as ribbons, and eyeballs as jewels. The servants who came and went were deformed monsters summoned by Him, and the little pet at His feet might be a puppy with its head split into eight pieces.
The blind man was surrounded by terror and toasted to celebrate. His face, as perfect as the bright moon, was the only touch of beauty in the picture of hell.
Yan Tao shuddered suddenly.
: Wow, the blind man is an ancient god, so his true form should be very ugly (ancient gods, please forgive me), my handsome husband is gone!
Thinking of the blind man's true form, which might be a bloated, wriggling mass of flesh covered with eyeballs, some people were silent for a moment.
: The weird shape of the body... makes me even more excited. It would be best if it had tentacles, and it would curl up shyly when poked.
: The best among men! A pile of meat, a mountain of meat. I can bury myself in it and roll around.
: XP is free, but in this case I recommend going to the hospital.
: There are many branches of the ancient gods, and some of them are in human form. Maybe what we see is the real body of the blind man.
Yan Tao watched the video of the blind man's clearance again, analyzing it frame by frame. He also looked through his notes from reading the Black Tower files. Two hours later, he posted on the forum.
"Let's discuss which ancient god the 000 blind man is"
The author: Most of the players on the forum have reached a consensus that the Blind Man is an Ancient God. However, there are many branches of Ancient Gods, and it is still uncertain which branch, class, or order of Ancient Gods he belongs to. This post combines the existing information to propose several guesses.
Information 1: The blind man wants to hide his identity as an ancient god. I won’t elaborate on this. He always emphasizes that he is an ordinary person.
Information 2: The blind man is stunningly beautiful. If this beautiful face is a fantasy, then it contradicts Information 1. He wants to pretend to be an ordinary person, so he won't make himself look too conspicuous. The most pleasing way is to make himself look ordinary.
Thus we get information 3: The blind man we see is most likely the blind man himself. The blind man is an ancient god in human form. And for unknown reasons, the blind man will not disguise himself (otherwise he would make himself look a little more ordinary).
So we get information 4: The blind man is likely to have suffered a serious injury, his abilities have been sealed, and he can't even disguise himself (poor thing).
The other ancient gods are butchers who can easily destroy the dungeon, and the blind man is a player. This also shows that the blind man's ability is limited and can only play a small part of his strength (and then crush other players)
Information 4: The blind have average combat capability, but their ability of mind control is amazing.
Information 5: The blind are vegetarians with a light taste, which is very different from most of the ancient gods who eat raw meat and drink blood.
Information 6: The blind man has a high artistic talent. I did some research a few days ago. The blind man graduated from a top art school. The following is his portfolio [screenshot][screenshot]. The author does not understand art, but the reviews are very good. The blind man also has a good musical talent, absolute pitch, and he used his skull to play "Liang Liang" and "Good Luck Comes"
Author of the post (research and discussion): Based on the above information, I looked through the Black Tower files again, and actually found an ancient god that fits the characteristics of the blind very well: the Reveler.
The revelers used screams and wails as notes, blood and brains as paint, and broken entrails as mud to make music, paint, and build statues all night long, without stopping.
The joy and singing are endless, and the world is heaven.
Yan Tao continued to write: The Revelers, a branch of the ancient gods, are humanoid, beautiful, have strong mental control, and average combat power. They are vegetarians. Most importantly, the Revelers have been stranded on Earth for many years. I even found a wizard family that has worshipped the Revelers for generations.
Regarding the Revelers, there is another sentence in the Secret History of the Black Tower: "They are the dirtiest mistakes made by the [Fuling], and the mud that cannot be washed away in the other world."
The author: The revelers should be the descendants of a certain [Fu Ling]. The mistake made may refer to the [Fu Ling] having sex with an unknown creature and giving birth to a mixed-blood reveler. I looked up what [Fu Ling] is and only found four words: now annihilated. Probably the ancestors of the ancient gods, but they all disappeared, leaving only the ancient gods in the inner world.
This is the end of my analysis. Conclusion: The Blind are the revelers in the lineage of the Ancient Gods.
: I believe it, let me applaud you!
: Brother Research is pretty good. The Black Tower Files and "Secret History" are long and boring, and the timeline is even more scattered than the central idea of my college entrance examination essay, but he was able to patiently finish reading them.
: Why was the blind man seriously injured? I feel so bad for my ancient god baby.
: I don’t know. Mortals should not ask about the grudges between gods.
: I've heard of the Revelers! They are worshipped by the Bai family of wizards [Ghost in the Lake]. I have played dungeons with their children. Those with the surname Bai are devout followers of the Revelers. They even imitate the Revelers and eat vegetarian food regularly.
: The Bai family is rich, and spent a lot of money to copy a large number of [726 Water Elf] identity cards for their own family members. This card has great potential and has the potential to evolve to the T1 level [726 Lake Ghost]
: Upstairs, which one did you meet?
: Bai Anzhi? Bai Mingzhi? I forgot, their names are too similar. Both have a grass radical, I can't remember.
: I hope Mr. Bai can see a blind person in real life. I’m so envious.
: Damn, I get angry just by mentioning it. Last time I had a quarrel with 099 Knight, he said that he was with the blind man day and night in real life, and he broke my defense.
Player A: I used some tricks to find out the real names of the players. Among the Blind's teammates, there is one named Bai. (I'm sorry, I really want to know what the Blind's real name is. His name is really nice, hehe, I won't tell you),
Player B: What's your name? Does it have a "grass" radical?
Player A: No. My ID card is [374 Thief]
Player B: They can't be the same family. The one starting with 726 is their family. Then send me a private message about whose name it is. I want to know it too [doge][drinking a rose].
He received a private message. The real name of [374 Thief] is Bai Jie.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Player B replied angrily: Hey! I asked you to tell me the real name of the blind man!
*
Copy. The time came to 7:30 in the evening.
The castle required us to go to bed at 9 o'clock, so there was still some time. Bai Jie finished washing up and lay down in bed with his eyes closed.
[374 Thief]'s personal skill [Steal Everything]
The cooldown time is 12 hours. You can steal items, broken bones, some useless garbage, or abstract favorability, trust, etc. It is completely random.
Baijie has a black face, and most of the time, what he shakes out are bad things.
It's time to sleep, so I use my skills. Sleeping is a good way to pass the cooldown time.
He activated the skill, and a line of Chinese characters quickly rolled before his eyes, finally stopping at the two big words "Peek Screen".
: You are sneaky and steal everything. When playing games, you will also take a peek at other players' discussions in the app.
Bai Jie Dang didn't see the sarcastic words. He didn't like this ID card very much because he considered himself to be an upright and righteous person.
But if you roll [Screen Peep], just take a look. Players cannot open forums, videos, etc. during the game. Most of the information is redundant, but often, the players' comments are really interesting.
Just treat it as eating melon.
Countdown 15 minutes.
When Bai Jie logged into the forum, the first thing he saw was a post titled "Let's discuss which ancient god the 000 blind man is."
15 minutes was just enough for him to read the main post from beginning to end, and then glance at the highly praised comments. After the countdown ended, Bai Jie stared into space, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
His teammate, the beauty that people dare not look directly at, is a reveler? !
Isn't this the god that the Bai family, who despises him, have worshipped for generations?
Bai Jie sat up from the bed and looked in the mirror opposite him, reflecting a tall, thin, strong boy with dark skin and a messy hair.
At first glance, he looks very sunny and cheerful, but if you look closely, you will find that Bai Jie's eyes are evasive and his shoulders are always hunched.
He is the abandoned son of the wizard family "Ghost in the Lake". Years of insults and neglect have become an indelible shadow in his character.
But his devotion and love for the revelers were no less than any other member of the Bai family.
Bai Jie quickly saved the post - since it was stolen, it belonged to him and could be kept. After being saved, it turned into a booklet.
Then she hurriedly put on the dress and waist ornament, ran to the blind man's bedroom door at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, paused for a few seconds, and ran back at the speed of a 100-meter sprint again.
Take away the roses in the bedroom.
Standing outside the blind man's bedroom door again, Bai Jie took a deep breath, holding a rose in his hand, and knocked on the door three times politely.
“Who is it?”
The voice was a little rough. Not a blind person. Bai Jie frowned.
The door opened and He Lun stood in front of him. Behind him, Gao Mengtang had just finished taking a shower and walked out wearing a white shower cap.
Bai Jie's eyes bounced back and forth between the two of them three times: "You guys are staying in the same room?"
"Any questions?" He Lun raised his chin and moved forward to block Bai Jie's view. His eyes were fixed on the rose for a few seconds, and then he looked up again, with more hostility.
"Who is it?" Gao Mengtang's clear voice came from the bedroom.
Hearing this voice, Bai Jie blushed slightly, which was surprising. He was so dark-skinned, but his face could still blush. Bai Jie looked around over He Lun's shoulder and finally saw the top of Gao Mengtang's head.
"I can peek at the screen. I see in the forum that you are an ancient god who can see. Or a feaster." Bai Jie stuttered, breaking his sentence into several pieces.
Gao Mengtang: "Feast, what?"
"I, I saved it. My Lord, no, do you want to use the ancient god's tentacles to sense it?" Bai Jie swallowed his saliva, "And this bouquet of roses, I offer it to you together."
Bai Jie placed the booklet among the roses and handed it over with great trepidation.
