Chapter 38 Princess Castle Rules (18) Let them redeem...
A dozen NPCs surrounded them, with their backs hunched and fangs bared, like wild beasts lurking in the grass.
"Stand back! I'll protect you!" Heron descended from the sky, his red cape fluttering behind him. He swung his spear and shield, and the clanging sound spread in circles in the air.
Gao Geng subconsciously protected his brother. The 8-year-old child was held tightly in his arms, and his neck was almost broken.
"Who are you?" Gao Geng asked.
He Lun raised his spear and shield, charging left and right. In the intervals between defense and attack, he finally found time to reply: "Don't ask these questions, retreat first! Retreat!"
He provided cover, fought and retreated, and soon arrived at the door of a hotel building.
"Jia Ri Hotel, it's really Jia Ri Hotel." He Lun looked up at the hotel sign with a dazed look. 15 years ago, this hotel was the most popular business in his family.
The people fleeing had already smashed the door of the hotel. Some were running out, while others were hiding inside. He Lun followed the flow of people and came to the basement with ease. After turning several corners, he stopped in front of a metal door.
While entering the password, He Lun said, "My family's secret vault is very well protected. I didn't expect it to come in handy right now."
As the metal door opened, four frightened faces appeared: He Lun's parents, He Lun himself, and his little sister who had just turned five years old.
The two families stared at each other in embarrassment and confusion. After being stunned for half a minute, He Lun's father finally spoke: "How do you know the password to my safe?"
He Lun: "..."
There's nothing I can do about it. I'm your son after all.
A strange hissing sound came from behind me. I turned around and saw that those NPCs were chasing after me, staggering and mouthing blood, like strange zombies.
"Come in first." Wei Wei pushed them in and closed the door.
Gao Geng covered his brother with his whole body, hugged him with his arms like an iron hoop, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
"I'm not scared!" The 8-year-old Xiao Mengtang struggled to break free from his brother's arms. He showed half of his face from his brother's side and stared at Gao Mengtang, confused and curious.
"Big brother, who are you?" Xiao Mengtang asked.
Although Gao Mengtang grew up basically in the same proportion, no one dared to recognize a son who appeared out of nowhere fifteen years later.
Gao Mengtang's face was splattered with blood, and red light fell into his eyes, which were murderous. He looked at Xiao Mengtang, and then at the surveillance camera at the door.
Dozens of NPCs were banging on the door, and the ceiling was shaking so hard that dust was falling off.
"Their strength is too great. This wall will really be broken down." Wei Wei frowned worriedly.
The metal door kept banging, and a circle of cracks appeared on the wall outside the door frame. Every time it was hit, the wall trembled.
Hiding here is not a long-term solution.
"Let's fight our way out," said He Lun.
Wei Wei slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke: "I am just wondering, there are thousands of tourists with no hiding places and easy targets, why don't NPCs eat them, but block us instead."
In the monitor, several tourists were running past the NPC, who didn't even look back. As if possessed by a demon, he vowed to break open the vault door.
Gao Mengtang's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly raised his eyes: "What is your luck value?"
Heron: “0.”
Bai Jie: "0."
"What about you, Wei Wei?" Gao Mengtang asked.
"26." Wei Wei said with his head down.
Gao Mengtang: "My luck value is 50."
He Lun was stunned: "What does this have to do with the NPC blocking the door?"
Gao Mengtang didn't answer. He stared at one spot, thinking quietly, his fingers unconsciously pulling the hair on the back of the rabbit's neck. After a while, he changed the subject: "Bai Jie, is your skill cooldown over? I need [Screen Peeping]."

Meanwhile, the real world.
"It's the fifth day since we entered the Black Tower game, and I don't know what's happening with that bastard He Lun and our daughter-in-law." He Lun's father sighed.
He Lun's mother raised her eyebrows: "How can you talk like that?"
"Okay, okay, He Lun is not a bastard..."
"Mengtang didn't agree to be our daughter-in-law."
He Lun's father: "..."
The evening news was broadcast on TV: "Due to the storm at sea, the Frozen Rose will dock at Clear Sky Harbor at 20:30 this evening... The Frozen Rose departed from Nanzhou and its destination is Qingrong Port in Zhongzhou. The passengers include visiting scholars from Zhongzhou University..."
"Dad, Mom, look out the window!" Hei ran over shouting.
A large number of strange glowing symbols appeared in the air, from points to lines, from lines to surfaces, from the sea level down to the sky, forming a wall of light.
The symbols are mostly white, and appear much like the letters that pop up when you type. Occasionally, the symbols turn red, are deleted, and some new glowing white symbols replace them.
Like strings of code written in an unknown language.
The code light wall surrounded Clear Sky Harbor, a strong wind suddenly arose, the waves surged, and groups of black gas like kerosene with a lot of impurities floating in it were sent to the shore.
The poison gas spread, but did not cross the code light wall.
Several workers who were taking a walk were exposed to the poisonous gas, their skin developed gangrene, pus and blood oozed from their faces and organs. They fell to the ground and died suddenly before they could even scream.
The news on TV continued: "Infectious diseases are rampant recently. Experts have found that the germs are likely to come from the ocean. Residents are advised to stay away from coastal areas as much as possible..."
*
In the dungeon, Bai Jie used the skill [Steal Everything] for the third time.
After using this skill, you will roll options such as [Item], [Spirit], [Favorability], etc. After selecting, the skill will enter a 12-hour cooldown period. If you are not satisfied, you can roll the dice again, and the cooldown period is 30 minutes.
Bai Jie used the [Clock Potion] to speed up the cooling, and when he rolled the dice for the fourth time, the [Screen Peeping] option finally appeared.
The screen peek countdown is 15 minutes.
Gao Mengtang: "Take a look at the [Dark Side of the World] section."
The World Dark Side section mainly publishes content related to the impact of the Dark Tower game on reality. For example, the so-called "Wizard Family" is actually a group of peripheral believers of the ancient gods; the increasing number of vicious murders in recent years is actually players fighting each other to snatch identity cards.
Enter the keyword "Clear Sky Harbor" and more than 20 posts will pop up.
"Clear Sky Harbor is surrounded by a data wall. Does anyone know what's going on?"
"An infectious disease is raging in Clear Sky Harbor. Will the Black Tower game further invade reality?"
《The Black Tower has invaded Clear Sky Harbor. This time, it’s more serious than before...》
"The epidemic in Clear Sky Harbor is a bit strange, let a great person analyze it"
I clicked into the post and took a quick look.
: The code light wall and infectious disease must be the work of the Black Tower game.
: I found an interesting point. Some people are safe and sound when they encounter the black fog. Some people fall to the ground in a second when they encounter the black fog. There is almost no transition, either 100% resistance or 0% resistance.
: Will those with 100% resistance be selected by the Black Tower as the next batch of players?
: The [Princess Castle Rules Strange Stories] that the blind man is currently clearing is not located near Clear Sky Harbor.
: I am in Clear Sky Harbor and just logged out of the game. Personally tested, players will not be poisoned by the black fog.
: Have you noticed that the system mall has quietly launched a new item [Indulgence]
He entered the keyword "8th floor" again, and most of the posts that popped up this time were analysis of clearing ideas and collection of all anomalies. After flipping down two pages, Gao Mengtang found what he wanted.
"[8th Floor] Dungeon, the man who takes out the garbage in Room 4, his 20 years of life, three major events"
Main Building: [8th Floor] I believe everyone knows this dungeon (the novice dungeon selected by the Blind, if you haven't seen it, go read it). In fact, this dungeon was opened 3 times before the Blind. During two of these times, players opened the side dungeon and killed the uncle. The fourth time it was opened was during the public beta, when it was used as the novice dungeon for the Blind.
By this calculation, the uncle on the 8th floor has been killed by players three times. I found out that there is indeed such an uncle in reality. He lives in the old and dilapidated "Huimin Building". He was bitten by a wild dog 20 years ago, and he did not get vaccinated, so he suffered from rabies.
Then, his life took three miraculous turns.
The first time, the mortality rate of rabies was as high as 99%, but the uncle did not die. He survived the disease and only became cerebral palsy (not insulting, really cerebral palsy)
The second time, his cerebral palsy was cured! But his legs and feet were not working properly and he had to use a wheelchair.
The third time, shortly after the blind man "killed" him in the copy, he was suddenly able to stand up, walking briskly, and in great health!
Original poster: I work in a hospital, and this uncle is a patient of my hospital. He is now called "Three-time Miracle Uncle". Medical miracles happened to him three times in a row!
: However, after leaving the People's Hospital, this uncle became a frequent visitor to the Mental Health Center because he always had nightmares and was a little broken now.
After watching it, the four of them were silent. It seemed a little unfair that a scum like Room 4 could have a good ending.
He died three times in the copy, and in reality, he encountered three medical miracles.
Gao Mengtang pondered for a long time: "The dungeons in the Black Tower game are a 'crime and punishment' about reality. The resident of Room 4 will be killed by the player because he peeped and abused cats. The NPCs in the rule story will eat people because humans have dumped marine garbage and destroyed the living environment of fish."
"Sinners will be punished."
"However, just like the 18 levels of hell, sinners go through numerous hardships and eventually can write off their sins and be reborn."
Wei Wei stroked his silver-white hair and said, "You mean, dying in the game means accumulating virtue in reality?"
"What weird things are you talking about!" Gao Geng shouted at them.
The players ignored it, their expressions gradually becoming heavy.
In this case, not only should their families not be saved, but they should be... left to die and be eaten by NPCs.
Gao Mengtang exhaled: "The most important thing is that my luck value is 50, good things should happen to me, but look at you now."
He pointed at the monitor screen. Outside the metal door, a large group of NPCs were trying to break in.
"The NPC wanted to kill our family 15 years ago. They were particularly eager to attack us. It would be a bad thing if we were killed by them. That shouldn't happen. Since I have the highest luck value, they should have avoided us."
"So, being killed by an NPC should be a lucky event."
Gao Geng hugged Xiao Mengtang tightly, like an enraged lion: "Impossible, no one can hurt my brother."
"Open the door. Let them atone for their sins." Gao Mengtang said softly, like a verdict after the gavel fell.
