Chapter 41 Princess Castle Rules Weird Stories (21) [Don’t Leave, Don’t…
"Kuaiwei, you are really a crow that can't be shaken off. Do the black gulls treat you well?"
"Don't worry about it."
Gao Mengtang couldn't see clearly, he only heard the two people arguing with each other. His head hurt from the collision, and the world was spinning. A hand was holding his arm.
"It's okay, don't worry. In terms of combat power alone, Qin Xishuang is inferior to me." Wei Wei said.
"The Black Tower game is not a boxing ring. Fighting power alone is not enough." Qin Xishuang said.
There was a whoosh sound, like an arrow leaving a bow, followed by a crisp "pop" sound.
"Fighting ability is still useful. I can give you a slap and make me feel good."
Qin Xishuang laughed softly.
"Is this what you asked the blind man to sign?" There was a rustling sound, and Wei Wei should have picked up the yellowed paper, "Skill Scroll [Never Leave, Never Abandon]."
"Put it down."
Wei Wei said slowly: "The skill effect of [Never Leave, Never Abandon] is that after the players voluntarily sign it, both parties will live and die together and share life points. If one party dies and the other survives, the deceased will be resurrected quickly. Duration: permanent."
Qin Xishuang: “…”
Wei Wei sneered: "Chief Qin, you want the blind man to be your mine clearer."
The skill scroll only said that the dead would be "resurrected", but it did not say whether they would be resurrected healthy and complete, or resurrected with missing limbs. Signing a skill scroll was probably not a good thing.
No matter what, Gao Mengtang was unwilling to stay with Qin Xishuang.
"I don't like the name of deminer. I prefer to call them lovers who share life and death."
"There's no need to put on makeup when you follow me. As fellow beta testers, how can we not be familiar with each other's little tricks? We're all thousand-year-old foxes, why are we playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?"
Gao Mengtang wanted to use the eye-protecting blueberry, but Wei Wei seemed very nervous. His tentacles tightly wrapped around his arms, making him unable to move.
"Excuse me, please let me go first..."
There was a sound of fighting, and the two exchanged a few moves silently. The skill scroll [Never Leave, Never Abandon] was snatched back by Qin Xishuang.
"What exactly are you going to do to the blind man? If I'm not mistaken, what you are going to do is life-threatening, and you want to use the blind man to block the knife."
"Wei Wei, if I were you, I would take the blind man away immediately. You should know that Yu Le and the other three have been bewitched by me. The two loyal dogs downstairs are no match for Yu Le."
He Lun and Bai Jie were still working in the castle hall. Without Wei Wei's protection, they could easily run into danger.
After a moment of silence, Wei Wei took Gao Mengtang's wrist and said, "Let's go."
"That skill scroll..." Gao Mengtang was halfway through his words when he was led by Wei Wei and stumbled down the stairs. As a blind man, the speed of going down the stairs was a bit too fast for him, and he almost fell several times.
Back in the hall, He Lun and Bai Jie were safe and sound, blowing up balloons. Wei Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you all right?"
"It's okay. What happened?" He Lun said, "I was blowing up the balloon. Why did you leave suddenly?"
Wei Wei did not answer. He pulled Gao Mengtang back to the bedroom and stuffed a skill scroll into his hand.
"This is [War and Peace]. If Qin Xishuang tries to hurt you, use it to protect yourself."
Skill Scroll Description: Turn hostility into friendship, a control scroll that instantly eliminates a person's hostility. During the duration of the control effect, the player's attack power and movement speed will be greatly reduced and then slowly recovered. The mana value will be instantly emptied and then slowly recovered.
: Duration depends on the situation
Rarity: Sequence 3
Use times: One-time skill
Gao Mengtang finally took out his eye-protecting blueberries, threw them into his mouth, and chewed them.
The skill scroll was tied with a red ribbon, with four golden characters "搶漢禪嗎" floating above it.
When I opened it, I saw the scroll was densely covered with unfamiliar words.
It looks a lot like Xixia script, and its shape is similar to Chinese characters, but I don't recognize any of them. There are also a lot of strange symbols mixed in.
"What's written in the scroll?" Gao Mengtang asked.
Wei Wei smoked one cigarette after another, his green eyes covered by layers of smoke: "The skill scrolls need to be translated by players with [Translation Expertise] first. This bundle of scrolls is Black Owl's year-end bonus. They only translated the skill names of this bundle of scrolls. But it's not a big problem. I have used [War and Peace] many times, and it works very well."
But looking at the rarity of [Sequence 3], it is also known that this bundle of skill scrolls is very useful. Gao Mengtang carefully put it away: "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"And about Qin Xishuang's incident today, thank you for coming in time, I was almost in trouble in one second."
"That's what I should do."
After his eyesight was restored, he found that Wei Wei was fidgeting and looked very anxious. Gao Mengtang asked him what was wrong, but Wei Wei kept smoking.
"I am very worried about Qin Xishuang. He...he won't be content."
Gao Mengtang felt a little regretful that he couldn't see the skill scroll [Never Leave, Never Abandon] with his own eyes. He rubbed his blue and purple arm and thought for a moment: "Is there any way to destroy the skill scroll?"
"Why, do you want to destroy [Never Leave, Never Abandon]?"
"Yeah. I feel that the existence of this skill scroll is a threat to me." Gao Mengtang replied.
"For ordinary scrolls, you can just tear them up. I heard that the rarity of [Never Leave, Never Abandon] is Sequence 1, and it cannot be destroyed by ordinary methods, but..."
Gao Mengtang listened patiently.
"However, there is a Sequence 0 item called the Secret Keeper's Quill. It can contaminate any text and destroy any bundle of skill scrolls."
Gao Mengtang sighed and said, "Sequence 0. It sounds very difficult to obtain."
"Yes. This quill pen is only in the hands of the [Secret Keeper]. As for who the Secret Keepers are... I am not good at history, so I don't know."
A layer of smoke floated in the air. Wei Wei filled his cigarette with new leaves and left the bedroom. Before closing the door, he suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and said, "Oh, right. I have to kill the athlete and the scoundrel first. Please use the mind link to inform He Lun and Bai Jie, don't let them get in my way."
Gao Mengtang was surprised: "So sudden?"
"They are crazy about Qin Xishuang, how can we not kill them? Please don't leave the bedroom, I am very worried that Qin Xishuang will meet you again."
Gao Mengtang nodded: "They are a problem."
Wei Wei closed the door and left. He turned the corner of the corridor and looked down at the hall from the second floor.
The pipe fell at his feet, and He Luo's tentacles twisted twice and crawled out of the pipe. A group of dark green tentacles twisted and stretched, vaguely in the shape of a human.
Octopuses are good at mimicry. He Luo is an advanced version of the octopus, and his mimicry function is also advanced.
A few seconds later, He Luo turned into Gao Mengtang and stood beside Wei Wei.
"Go, kill them using your most cruel method." Wei Wei didn't even look at He Luo. He took a bottle of physical strength potion and a bottle of mental recovery potion and poured them into his mouth like drinking water.
The hall was filled with ribbons and balloons, and the aroma of cream and sugar filled the air. The lights shone on Wei Wei and He Luo, making them look even colder.
"Wei... Wei."
"go."
He Luo was depressed and lost. He walked past the kitchen and took a table knife. His skin dissolved and wrapped the knife in his arm.
In the dance hall, the athletes and the scoundrels were idly applying double-sided tape to the ribbons. A shadow covered them.
Looking back, Gao Mengtang's face as bright as the moon appeared behind them.
"Excuse me, could you please help me with a little favor?"
If it were anyone else, the athletes and the scoundrels would definitely respond with one word: "Get lost."
But this was "Gao Mengtang". He was so handsome that he couldn't say the word "get out" no matter what. It turned twice in his throat and became the word "OK".
"Let's go to the basement. Okay?" He Luo asked.
The basement was dangerous, and a fight had taken place there. The athlete and the hoodlum looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.
"Please, I can't see clearly..." He Luo said, took two steps forward, and was tripped by a pile of holly branches. The athlete subconsciously supported him.
The athlete stared at the delicate white fingers that rested on his dark, rough, hairy arm. He raised his head and saw Gao Mengtang's thin and pointed inner corners of the eyes and his clear eyes like glass beads.
His cheekbones and apples were full, his skin was tight, and under the light, the flowing luster on his face was particularly charming. The athlete was stunned for several seconds.
In the past, he had only seen her from a distance, with He Lun and the others blocking her view. Now that he had gotten closer, he realized that the blind woman was even more beautiful than he had imagined.
The medium-length black curly hair brushed across her cheeks, softening her facial features. There was a faint... fishy smell between the hair.
The athlete shook his head, thinking he must have smelled it wrong. The blind man should have smelled the scent of flowers.
Looking more closely, the hand on his arm seemed to be a little green?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. He must have been shocked by her beauty and had hallucinations.
"Let's go and see what can he do, he's a blind man, what can he do?" said the gangster.
The athlete thought for a moment and nodded. They each supported one arm and went to the basement.
"Well. Let's stop here." He Luo said.
The stone wall beside him was splattered with a row of black blood. The athlete and the scoundrel glanced to the side, their expressions somewhat unnatural.
That was the blood that spurted out when Wei Wei was injured.
“I was heartbroken.”
"Gao Mengtang"'s hand gently stroked the bloodstains on the wall.
The athlete sensed something was wrong: "Can you see?!"
"Of course."
These four words were deep and deep, totally not Gao Mengtang's voice. He turned his head, his pupils had become vertical, his sclera were scarlet. His eyes were looking in different directions, turning to both sides.
Keep one eye on the slackers and the other on the athletes.
The two men were shocked, and the color on their faces instantly faded: "You, what's wrong with you!"
The next second, a sharp knife appeared in He Luo's hand. It was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, the blade pierced into the temples of the two men and went through their skulls horizontally.
They were immediately paralyzed.
"The most cruel method..." He Luo muttered softly, pointing the knife at them.
The player has been strengthened by the system, and his vitality is far beyond that of ordinary people. He is not dead yet. His limbs are constantly twitching.
That's good. Death is too quick and not cruel enough.
He Luo positioned them in a dislocated position, stretched out his arms, and nailed their wrists with the broken blade.
This posture is very similar to the suffering Jesus.
Cut open the skin and flesh to expose the abdominal cavity. The person is not dead yet, and the internal organs are still beating. Then carefully crack their skulls and take out the two relatively intact brains.
He Luo licked the blood on his fingertips and made two "Pah" sounds.
Unpalatable.
"That's it."
He left the basement and went up the stairs, then turned into a small octopus the size of a palm and happily crawled to Wei Wei's side.
System: "Players [353 Athlete] and [044 Asshole] have died."
"Remaining players, 6 people."
Gao Mengtang was taking a nap in bed when the system notification sound woke him up.
“The highlights have been edited and uploaded to the platform.”
Gao Mengtang slowly asked:?
What's so interesting? He was just sleeping!

New video title: "What you see, is it the real blind person?"
On the cover, "Gao Mengtang" has his back to the camera, and opposite him, the gangster and the athlete look terrified.
At the beginning of the video, Gao Mengtang was taken to the bedroom, where Qin Xishuang pressed him down on a chair and forced him to sign a contract. When the pen tip was about to pierce the back of his hand, Wei Wei broke in.
: What a close call! Wei Wei arrived just in time.
: If I was a second later, the feather pen would have pierced my body, and I was so scared that I couldn't breathe.
: Actually, the battle-damaged blind are also quite fragrant. His face is pale, his brows are furrowed, his breathing is subtle, and he might even moan. Hehehe.
: I will fight with you in front!
: I give a thumbs up to Wei Wei’s timing. He has developed a good skill in timing in Heiou. [doge]
"The effect of the skill [Never Leave, Never Abandon]..." Wei Wei's voice came from outside the screen, and he read slowly.
: Is this the skill effect of [Never Leave, Never Abandon]? Can someone check the information?
: It feels a bit like the scroll [Live and Die Together].
: No need to check, [Never Leave, Never Abandon] is the exclusive scroll obtained after the identity card 741 evolves to the Butterfly Fairy, and Qin Xishuang only has this one.
: I have been a fan of Qin for three years, but I didn't even know he had this scroll. (Now I have become a blind man)
: It seems to be Qin’s most precious treasure.
: Wei Wei actually knows the effect of the skill [Never Leave, Never Abandon]. He is indeed a high-level player.
: The shooting method of this video is very novel. It was shot from the perspective of a blind person. It confuses me.
At that time, Gao Mengtang fell backwards from the chair, his head hit the ground, he felt dizzy and couldn't stand for a long time. Probably to show the blind man's dizziness, the camera kept shaking and the face couldn't be seen clearly.
The conversation between Qin Wei and the other person continued to be heard in the form of voice-over.
: Wei Wei slapped Qin Xishuang hahaha!
: The body-cleansing master was really brave. He was just a small person, but he dared to attack the leader of the Blue Camp.
: A small matter? You are so arrogant.
: For Wei Wei's ability, being a human being is really a waste of his talent. He used to be a priest of Ghost Bamboo. When he came to Heiou, even if he was not a priest, he should be a governor executioner or something.
: I heard that Wei Wei was a traitor who joined Heiou, so how could we dare to entrust him with such an important task?
In the video, the two returned to the bedroom. Wei Wei smoked anxiously, and the white smoke soon filled the whole room. They mentioned the "Secret Keeper's Quill"
: Has anyone read the background story and what is the Secret Keeper?
：Call the class representative.
The class representative arrived quickly and Yan Tao showed a post he had written before.
Secret Keepers: As the name suggests, they keep a secret. They come from the other world and serve the Black Tower Game. They are similar to the NSA agents lurking among ordinary people.
: According to the investigation, the Secret Keepers have no uniform characteristics. Their identities are diverse. They may be players or NPCs.
: Most of the secret keepers found so far are NPCs. They seem to be monitoring the players to prevent certain secrets from being leaked.
"Oh, by the way. I have to kill the athletes and the hooligans first." Wei Wei said while standing at the door.
Gao Mengtang nodded: "They are a problem."
Then, the "Gao Mengtang" in the video forced the athletes and gangsters to the basement, stabbed them to death with two knives, and nailed them to the cross.
The video ends in a flash of blood.
: What what what! The blind man killed someone!
: Cover appears! Take a screenshot and save!
: The blind man’s head is so cute with its round bulgy shape.
: The killing was so quick and clean that it gave me a fright.
: Well done! Well done! I've been displeased with them for a long time.
Behind the screen, Wu Li frowned.
Half a year ago, his ancestors' graves were filled with smoke. He became teammates with Qin Xishuang and was bewitched by him. Until now, the bewitching effect has not been lifted.
During this game, Wu Li discovered that Qin Xishuang treated the blind differently from other people. He was jealous.
He really hoped that bad luck would come to the Blind Man, so he said in the comment section: You guys are praising players who killed your teammates, do you have any brains?
Among the audience, some are players, and some want to be players. They all have a chance to meet the blind person in the game. In other words, the audience is the blind person's potential teammate.
A player who kills teammates at the slightest disagreement. No one wants to or likes to team up with him.
This is why, even if you kill your teammates, you will get all the dropped items, but few players still do this. This is too bad for the audience. Video revenue and rewards can account for one-third of the income.
However, the iron rule of "killing teammates ruins your popularity" was biased in the blind. Wu Li's comments were attacked.
: Are you blind too? The athlete in front and the scoundrels were causing trouble, and the blind man was almost killed. Why not kill him? Save him for the New Year?
: What we hate is people like the pharmacist who deliberately betray their teammates, not reasonable counterattacks, thank you.
: This wave falls under Article 20, self-defense.
: The blind man was so kind that he talked to them for a few words before killing them, and gave them the honor of touching his arm. Damn it, I feel unbalanced.
: The scoundrel has no dance partner yet. He is an unstable factor and will definitely die. If the blind man does not take action, others will.
: +1 for the blind man's kindness. He didn't leave the dirty work of killing people to his teammates, but took care of it himself. Touched.
: And risk being accused of being blind. The Blind is Really Kind +2
Wu Li was furious: You guys are using too much of a filter, it's murder anyway. The blind man almost died, but he didn't die yet? Those are two lives.
: Stop it. I don’t dare smoke around you for fear of exploding and leaving two relics.
: Go buy your plane ticket quickly, let the Leshan Giant Buddha stand up and you sit on it.
: Tell me your identity number. I will specifically pit you when it is your turn in the next group. No retaliation, living Bodhisattva.
Behind the screen, Wu Li's nose was crooked with anger: "Okay, let's take a step back and kill him. He nailed his wrists, took out his internal organs, and dug out his brain. Isn't this a brutal killing? Mercy? ! Where is the mercy? !
After a pause, Wu Li added secretly: Xi Shuang is kind-hearted. She didn't fight back when she was slapped by the blind men.
Dark Connoisseur: Go catch up on your studies. I've already said it. The Blind One doesn't want to pretend anymore.
: Look carefully, is this called murder?
: Uh... He did kill someone. This can't be washed.
Dark Connoisseur: They were disemboweled and their brains were taken out. But the Revelers are gods who paint with blood and brains!
: This is not a killing, but a salvation for the revelers.
Look at the postures of the athlete and the scoundrel. Their wrists are nailed through, and their legs are together. It looks like a cross. The two people form an overlapping cross.
Wu Li: It was clearly a massacre! The blind nails pierced their wrists and tortured them!
Dark Connoisseur: You are a dull person, surrounded by chaotic thoughts, and you can only see chaos. You cannot see true mercy beyond cruelty. Look at the posture of them being nailed by the wrists, what does it look like?
: The cross!
: You said crucifixion was a massacre, but we switch to a bird's-eye view, looking at the corridor from the sky. Why did the blind man place them one above the other, staggered, instead of sideways?
Netizen A: I feel that the corridor is so narrow that it cannot be opened horizontally.
Dark Connoisseur: Wrong. Anyone who has read [Transcendence Specialization] knows that the up-and-down misaligned cross is the symbol of Transcendence!
: In order to save themselves, the two had to die. But as a god, the blind man retained a mercy far beyond that of mortals. He placed the two people in an overlapping cross, which was a ritual for salvation!
Dark Connoisseur: As a wounded god, the Blind One retained a mercy far beyond that of ordinary people. On the surface, he killed two players. In fact, he had already sent their souls to a peaceful and harmonious world!
: Is there any more meaning...
Dark Connoisseur: Look at the cover again. I have said many times that the cover has multiple meanings.
Gao Mengtang had his back to the camera, and opposite him were the frightened faces of an athlete and a gangster.
Dark Connoisseur: This is the blind man’s playthrough video. Why is the blind man on the cover facing away from us, while the two supporting characters are facing the camera?
: It’s a hint! The blind man has his back to the world we live in. What he is looking at is another world, which is the world where the two will be liberated!
Netizen: But, after the salvation, shouldn’t they become the [relatives] of the blind person?
Mature audiences can come up with reasonable explanations: that is for NPCs or butchers. For players, they will go to a new world after salvation.
There is no way to verify this. After all, athletes and scoundrels cannot come back from the dead to fight against cheating.
Dark Connoisseur: Also, the cover combined with the title analysis, "What you see, is it the real blind man", what does it mean? This is an interaction with us! There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand audiences.
: Among all the "misreadings", which blind man in people's minds is closer to the real blind man? You see him killing people, you think he is cruel, but is this the real blind man?
: The title is guiding us to think! The title is suggesting that we see through the appearance and understand the real blind man. He is not killing people, but saving souls.
After saying all this, the dark connoisseur concluded: How kind the blind are!
This sentence quickly became popular in the comments. The blind man was probably the first person to be praised for killing someone (even though he didn't kill anyone).
The gift special effects keep flashing, and the number of likes and collections is increasing rapidly.
The audience was still immersed in the emotion of "How kind the blind are" and before they could come to their senses, the channel released another special video.
The video is two hours long, and the audience's eyes light up when they see its length.
When he clicked on it, he saw that it was Gao Mengtang who heard the system notification sound and frowned in confusion. He didn't understand how he had collected enough wonderful clips while staying in the bedroom.
His brows were furrowed, but he couldn't figure it out, so Gao Mengtang simply lay down and took a nap.
: Woohoo, I feel so sad. The blind man must be frowning and looking unhappy because he killed someone.
: Although it is salvation, it is still painful. The blind man sympathizes with them.
: The blind man is a great and kind god.
The next 1 hour and 57 minutes were Gao Mengtang's pure sleep.
: Who's still watching?
:……I.
: It’s really like a blind man sleeping.
: Shit, I actually finished reading it.
