Chapter 251 Elevator (4) The Stone of the End
This incident made the players in Group B forget their anger. Everyone looked at the players in Group A who appeared out of nowhere in surprise. Shang Yu and others followed behind Wei Wei, and looking at their expressions, they were also confused.
"This pair of glasses..." Wei Wei frowned, "You spent 5,000 yuan to buy them. I will never forget this waste of money."
Gao Mengtang: “…Hmm.”
Wei Wei looked familiar to Gao Mengtang, still wearing the dark green striped shirt he wore when he entered the dungeon, paired with a black casual suit. Shang Yu and the others were surrounded by black mist.
"Sister!" He Suozhi rushed over and hugged He Qi, "Why are you here?"
The members of Group A recounted their experiences.
After discovering the elevator's pattern, Wei Wei and Shang Yu wasted time on the 13th floor. But soon, the lights went out, blood oozed from the walls, and a strong stench of decay filled the air.
The exhibition hall, which was bright and tidy just now, quickly became dirty. Wei Wei and Shang Yu observed for a while and found that the spirit value was rapidly declining.
At this time, Gao Mengtang's points came, and they took the elevator down two floors and arrived at the 11th floor.
The ceiling and walls were still falling apart, with broken bricks falling with a crackling sound.
"The museums we saw were different," Gao Mengtang analyzed. "The museums we saw were gloomy and scary, but yours were not. But after a while, the museums in your stadium became the same as ours. When you passed by the 12th floor, what was the situation on the 12th floor like?"
Wei Wei: “There is no light.”
"Did the building collapse?" Gao Mengtang continued to ask, "Like the 11th floor."
Wei Wei: "Building collapsed? What does that mean? Everything is normal on the 11th floor."
It seems that the museum in Group A will not collapse, but the changes in the exhibition hall will accelerate the consumption of players' mental value. Moreover, there is a time difference between the two venues, and the museum in Group B will become "abnormal" earlier.
They can see each other, which is an incomplete overlap of two spaces.
"What about the black mist on Shang Yu's body?" Bai Jie asked.
Wei Wei looked back at Shang Yu in surprise: "I didn't see the black mist on her body."
Shang Yin: "In my eyes, it is Wei Wei who is wrapped in black mist. My sister is just wearing a black cloak."
Song Zhong: "Wei Wei, what do you think of us? Is there any black mist on us?"
Wei Wei shook his head.
After the two arenas do not completely overlap, members of Group B will see members of Group A of other teams marked by black fog. Members of Group A will see members of Group B as normal.
Gao Mengtang said to himself: "What's the point of designing the competition like this?"
"The scene you are in is very chaotic. What happened just now?" Wei Wei helped Gao Mengtang up.
Gao Mengtang shook his head: "It doesn't matter anymore. I want to know what will happen after the competition starts again..."
"Not important?!" the brown bear man roared, "You fooled us!"
He roared and rushed over. Just as Gao Mengtang tried to dodge, warm blood splashed on his face.
He Luo's tentacles crushed the brown bear man's chest, pulled it to both sides, and tore him in half.
The scene was quiet for a few seconds, and then the fox man screamed, "You killed my teammate! Group B members are forbidden to kill each other!!"
Wei Wei lit his pipe slowly: "That's right, 'Group B members' are forbidden to fight each other. Unfortunately, I am not a member of Group B."
The fox man was obsessed with revenge for his tragically killed teammate, and just as he was about to attack, Shang Yu's card cut his head in half.
In less than half a minute, two people died. The others who were looking for trouble immediately gave up and retreated in fear.
When grouping, most players put the people with the strongest combat effectiveness into Group A. The overall combat effectiveness of Group B was much lower, and they had no one to support them, so they dared not be too arrogant.
"Is everything okay here?" Wei Wei asked.
Gao Mengtang: "Well, it's all right now. The troublemaker was killed by you."
"We are safe too. There are only two groups of us on the 11th floor." He Suzhi hugged his sister tightly. "Don't worry about me. I'm not afraid." His voice was shaking badly.
He Qi: “…Oh.”
During the conversation, the building collapsed faster and faster. The first floor, which was originally 5 meters high, was only 3 meters high, and a golden barrier pressed down. Through the broken ceiling, it can be seen that only the elevator shaft has not collapsed.
Shang Yin was a little anxious: "I don't think we can stay on this floor for too long, we have to take the elevator down quickly. Gao Mengtang, how long are you going to hold hands with Wei Wei?"
"I don't want to leave you, I miss you so much! We've only been reunited for a short while..." Gao Mengtang grabbed Wei Wei's arm, refusing to leave with a wronged look on his face.
Wei Wei: "...The last time we met was an hour ago."
"There is danger where you are, so leave quickly." Shang Yu was so disgusted by their cheesy behavior that he got goosebumps all over his body and rubbed his arms with both hands.
The other members of Group B noticed that something was wrong and had already left in the elevator. Only a few resentful Apurun people were left, wandering around and staring at Wei Wei gloomily.
The golden barrier was pressed down little by little. Gao Mengtang seized the opportunity to say, "Take a closer look at the exhibits, especially the Eleventh Sage King. I feel like there are many mysteries surrounding Him."
"Be careful of Zhong Lixing!" Shang Yin pressed the elevator door, "Zhong Lichen is in Group B, Zhong Lixing must be in Group A!"
"Wait for your brother to pick you up, be good." He Suozhi kissed the soft hair of He Qi, and then, with a hard heart, pushed her away. He Qi looked disgusted.
The elevator door gradually closed. Gao Mengtang pretended to cry and waved goodbye to Wei Wei through the retractable fence door.
Shang Yu was speechless for a moment: "Is your leader always so clingy?"
Wei Wei: “It’s none of your business.”
Shang Yu chuckled: "You're quite protective."
"You killed two of us, and now you want to leave?" A group of Apurun orcs approached Wei Wei, murderous, "I want you to pay with your lives!"
They jumped up, their claws flashed coldly, and then... nothing happened.
The orc hit the golden barrier that was descending slowly, and his upper body disappeared out of thin air. The half of his torso that was cut in half fell down with a thump.
Wei Wei blinked slightly in surprise and slowly put the pipe to his lips.
Gao Mengtang and others also saw this scene through the gap in the elevator shaft.
"If you had said farewell to each other a little longer, this would have been the ending," Shang Yin said.
The elevator completely descended, and Wei Wei's trouser legs and leather shoes disappeared from sight. Gao Mengtang lowered his eyelashes and glanced at his watch: "One hour, 13th and 12th floors, two floors."
"Um?"
"According to my understanding of the Black Tower game, the floors will collapse faster and faster." Gao Mengtang put down his watch.
Shang Yin said, "Thank the Ancient God," and smiled with relief, "You finally have a sense of urgency."
"Of course, 30 minutes is not enough to visit one floor of the museum, and the time after that will be even shorter." Gao Mengtang said sadly, "This is a special forces-style tour."
You should treat the dungeon as a trip!
*
In the Group A arena, Wei Wei also glanced at his watch: "After a while, the 11th floor will also show abnormalities. Let's catch up and go to see the exhibition hall of the Eleventh Sage King."
"I just told you to take a look at the exhibits, but you didn't listen. Gao Mengtang told you to listen." Shang Yu smiled, "Why, you don't trust my judgment?"
Wei Wei: "You don't pay me salary."
Shang Yu: "..."
Except for the two groups of Wei Wei and Shang Yu, everyone else was fighting on the 12th floor. There were only 10 of them on the 11th floor and they could watch calmly.
The first thing they saw when they entered the door was the sculpture of the Eleventh Wise King. They glanced at it, but didn't see anything special about it, so they continued to look at other exhibits.
"Just now your brother mentioned Zhong... Zhong what was that?" Duan Song yawned and wandered around, "Who is that person?"
Shang Yu read a description: "Zhongli Xing. The Zhongli family has two patriarchs, Zhongli Chen and Zhongli Xing, a pair of twin brothers, and their ID cards are both [525 Clown King].
"Are they strong?" Duan Song cracked his knuckles. "I want to meet them. I haven't fought in a long time. I miss it a little."
Shang Yu recalled some unpleasant memories: "They are not strong, but bad."
She introduced the identity and skills of the [Clown King] and continued, "After they die, their bodies will turn into building blocks. Once the building blocks are put together, they can be resurrected. You have to know that the children of the Zhongli family can restore the Rubik's Cube in 5 seconds. It only takes them about 10 seconds to put the building blocks of the corpse together."
He Suzhi was terrified, as if Zhongli Xing's sharp blade was on his neck: "Also, this skill has no cooldown time."
Duan Song was so shocked that he almost knocked over a set of cups. "How is this possible? Even if we use the resurrection coins, the resurrection time is about 10 seconds. Their unlimited resurrection... is too unbalanced!"
"It's not quite accurate to say 'resurrection'," Shang Yu said, "it should be called 'restoration of mobility'. The body of the Clown King has returned to normal, but his soul has not. During this time, they were clockwork puppets who only knew how to attack and kill. They had no sense of pain, no fear, and because of this, no mental value. You can't talk about mental pollution with a toy. During that time, they could fight in any extreme environment."
A long sword floated past Wei Xiangchen's body, and he said seriously, "That doesn't count as life. The soul is much more important than the body, or rather, only the soul is important."
Shang Yu glanced at him and said, "You are really weird. Is there another ghost in the world who has been dead for more than 500 years and still lingers? I have believed in the ancient gods for more than 20 years and have never heard of a situation like yours."
Another Shang family member asked, "How did you die? Why did your soul last so long?"
Wei Xiangchen's answer was to pass through their bodies and float away quietly. Shang Yu looked at Wei Wei inquiringly, hoping to get an answer.
"I don't know. I resurrected him, and I always thought it was a miracle," Wei Wei replied, "and Wei Xiangchen is very secretive about his past."
After 10 minutes, they had finished viewing most of the exhibits and summarized four (perhaps) important messages:
1. During his lifetime, the Eleventh Wise King was deeply trusted by the Supreme Order, who rewarded him with many treasures and privileges, such as a specially made crown, orb, scepter, and allowed him to choose slaves for himself, etc.
2. The eleventh wise king had outstanding achievements.
3. After the death of the Eleventh Wise King, his soul disappeared.
4. The Eleventh Wise King personally carved the soul of the Twelfth Wise King. This is also one of the privileges of the Eleventh Wise King, because other Wise Kings had to be made under the supervision of the Supreme Order. When the Eleventh Wise King was in power, the Supreme Order had existed for too long and was relatively weak, so it rested for a long time.
Thirdly, Wei Wei already knew the reason. The soul of the eleventh wise king had turned into the only [101] identity card, which was the one in his body.
They also knew why the Eleventh Wise King did this.
The Supreme Order is equivalent to the "World Will" of the other world, an existence in a different dimension from all life. The Supreme Order is omnipotent and invincible.
For example, the souls of the fallen wise kings are all integrated into the Supreme Order. By gathering the souls of all the wise kings, the Supreme Order can use the skill [Return to Heaven] to trace the timeline of the entire world back to any point.
If we compare the entire inner world to a single-player game, then the Supreme Order is the player, and He can replay the game at any time.
The escape of the soul of the Wise King Eleven was equivalent to tampering with the code. An important NPC in the game disappeared, causing a series of bugs and the rewind button became ineffective.
Duan Song couldn't understand Esperanto and had already been yawning: "What's so special about Old Eleven? Why did the senior let us read these? I hate history."
Wei Xiangchen sighed, "Isn't He special? Without Him, the inner world would not have been destroyed. Rather than saying that the twelfth Wise King is a disaster star, it is better to say that the eleventh Wise King is the first lightning when the end of the world comes."
"Hey, here is a portrait of the Eleventh Sage King." Shang Yu said in another corner of the exhibition hall, "Come and see, the Eleventh Sage King is quite handsome, worthy of being a member of the Moon Clan."
They gathered around to admire it. In the painting, the Eleventh Wise King was wearing a white classical shirt, with waist-length silver straight hair falling on his shoulders. He had his legs crossed and his scepter placed across his knees.
Anyone who knows a little about gems from the other world will feel that something is wrong with this scepter. The gem on the top looks like the most common moon ore, which is usually used to carve the souls of moon creatures. It is uncut, roughly shaped, and not beautiful at all.
The title of this painting is simple and straightforward: "The Eleventh Wise King and the Scepter"
: The Supreme Order rewards the Eleventh Wise King with a specially made scepter. The gem on the top of the scepter is the [Stone of the End]. The power contained in this gem can tear open all space.
: Once the barrier between the inner and outer worlds is completely torn apart, the energy of the surface world will flow back into the inner world, and the environment of the inner world will be completely destroyed.
: You should know that the life in the inner world is not a higher-dimensional creature. They are just stronger, but can hardly survive in the surface world.
: That was the end of the other world and the Supreme Order.
: Handing the Stone of the End to the Eleventh King shows the Supreme Order's trust in the Eleventh King. The Eleventh King uses this scepter to exile people who have committed serious crimes.
: It is just "trust", not "complete trust", because the [Saprophytic Stone] that can suppress the [Stone of the End] is still controlled by the Supreme Order.
After reading the last sentence, Wei Wei opened his eyes wide.
The Saprophytic Stone, isn't that the stone that helped him restore his body after he was chopped into pieces!
The origin of this stone is so great. Wei Wei subconsciously touched his heart. Looking at the portrait of Xian Wang Eleven again, he vaguely felt that this face was a little familiar.
The elevator made a sound. Shang Yu turned around quickly: "Be careful! A player is coming down."
