Chapter 47: Princess Castle Rules Strange Stories (End) The second copy is finished...
Gao Mengtang became wary after the fight in the basement.
That morning, the athletes and the hooligans played the good guys, while the diners and the gardeners played the bad guys. The two groups of people bewitched by Qin Xishuang cooperated very well and finally started fighting.
The only consequence of the battle was that Wei Wei was pierced through the abdomen by the trident and was in critical condition. He was forced to summon He Luo to heal his wounds and his spirit value dropped below 50.
It was probably at that time that Qin Xishuang took advantage of the opportunity and seduced Wei Wei.
That day, Gao Mengtang was worried that Qin Xishuang might take action, so he asked Bai Jie to stay with Wei Wei, but Qin Xishuang's ability to seduce was perfect, and her tricks were pervasive.
A whiff of fragrance, a butterfly, can conquer a weak person, and Qin Xishuang doesn't even need to show up in person.
If He Lun and Bai Jie were not Gao Mengtang's followers, they would probably be bewitched by Qin Xishuang.
From that day on, Wei Wei no longer stayed by his 100,000 yuan piggy bank's side and often left Gao Mengtang alone.
Qin Xishuang became suspicious when Gao Mengtang was tricked into the bedroom and held his hand down, trying to pierce the back of his hand with a feather pen. At that time, Qin Xishuang counted down to 5.
Wei Wei happened to rush into the bedroom at the last second.
It was such a coincidence, as if Wei Wei was counting the seconds and deliberately waited until the last second before coming in.
The suspicion increased because it was Wei Wei who killed the athlete and the gangster.
Wei Wei is a cautious person who can endure humiliation. On the day of the fight in the basement, the gangsters pointed at Wei Wei's nose and called him a eunuch, but Wei Wei could endure it and just observed them calmly.
But he said without warning that he wanted to kill the athlete and the scoundrel. Obviously, as Qin Xishuang's "pursuers", Wei Wei and them were rivals in love, which made him want to kill them.
The way to kill them is to let He Luo disguise himself as Gao Mengtang.
As a beta tester, Wei Wei must have known that killing teammates would ruin his popularity. Fortunately, some viewers used their imagination to describe the killing as "transcendence" or "sacrifice", otherwise Gao Mengtang would have lost his reputation.
Wei Wei used Gao Mengtang's face to kill people, which seemed like a frame-up.
Because Wei Wei "loves" Qin Xishuang, and Qin Xishuang treats Gao Mengtang more specially, this makes Wei Wei jealous, so he deliberately uses this underhanded trick.
At this point, Gao Mengtang was just suspicious.
After the main mission was completed, Wei Wei had more doubts.
First of all, after the party is over, Gao Mengtang and others can leave the copy.
When Qin Xishuang flew towards the side quest, Wei Wei didn't even try to persuade Gao Mengtang to leave. He led them to chase after him, being more active than anyone else.
Secondly, before Bai Jie was tripped, he said "There is an octopus". Isn't He Luo an octopus?
Yu Le kidnapped Bai Jie and fled in the opposite direction of Qin Xishuang. Wei Wei's choice was to chase Yu Le himself and leave Gao Mengtang to He Lun and Gao Geng.
Wei Wei's purpose of entering [Princess Castle Rules and Weird Stories] is to protect Gao Mengtang and get out alive. The blind man goes to Heiou to report so that he can get the 100,000 bonus.
How was it possible that Gao Mengtang would be handed over to a novice and an NPC at the last minute?
Apart from this, there are many doubts.
For example, when Wei Wei slapped Qin Xishuang for the first time, he was very nervous, fidgeting and smoking non-stop, because Wei Wei hurt his "beloved" person and felt pain in his heart.
For example, at the dance, Wei Wei actually danced with Qin Xishuang, wearing a mask. He must have been worried that his expression of admiration for Qin Xishuang would be seen by others.
Bai Jie believes that Wei Wei and Qin Xishuang danced to unlock the achievement [Charming Moment], but this speculation is untenable.
Firstly, he is a beta tester and may have unlocked the achievement long ago.
Secondly, even if Wei Wei hadn't unlocked the achievement, he shouldn't have danced with Qin Xishuang. Wei Wei was a pragmatic person, and he wouldn't get in touch with dangerous people just for a flashy halo.
Gao Mengtang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Being in love will reduce one's intelligence. Wei Wei, with your normal brain, you shouldn't have revealed your true colors."
Wei Wei was still crying. He looked at the wound on Qin Xishuang's broken arm from time to time, with deep pain in his eyes. He turned his head and glared at Gao Mengtang fiercely: "For you, I agreed to play a trick of self-torture and hurt my beloved Xishuang so badly."
Gao Mengtang: “…” Feeling a little uncomfortable.
He Lun's expression was indescribable. If the atmosphere hadn't been so inappropriate, he would have really laughed.
"You useless piece of shit! Why can't you even do such a simple thing!" Qin Xishuang wailed, rolling on the ground in pain with only one arm left.
Qin Xishuang went to great lengths to seduce Wei Wei, and her purpose was obvious: to take advantage of Gao Mengtang's trust in Wei Wei and lure Gao Mengtang into a trap.
What exactly is the trap... Gao Mengtang unfolded the skill scroll [Never Leave, Never Abandon] and glanced at it leisurely.
The characters above look like Xixia characters, and even the punctuation marks are incomprehensible.
"Chief Qin, your purpose is to make me sign this scroll 'voluntarily', right?" Gao Mengtang said.
He used a question mark, but his tone was very affirmative.
The time when Qin Xishuang took Gao Mengtang to the bedroom, she and Wei Wei acted out a drama, which conveyed two messages.
1. Qin Xishuang has a skill scroll that can be called a killer.
2. The effect of the skill scroll is to live and die together.
If the translation of the skill scroll is removed, no one can understand it, not to mention that Gao Mengtang is blind. The effect of the skill scroll depends on their mouths.
After entering the sunken ship, Wei Weixian cooperated with Yu Le and asked them to split their troops into two groups.
If Gao Mengtang had followed Wei Wei's arrangement and gone left to chase Qin Xishuang, then when he turned back and discovered the incubator, 13-1028's brain would have been severely contaminated, and Gao Geng's life would be in danger.
At that time, he would stage another scene of "the fierce battle between Wei Wei and Qin Xishuang", and finally use the skill scroll [Gang Ge Yu Bo] given by Wei Wei to complete the final kill, and grab the scroll [Never Leave, Never Abandon]
According to Qin Xishuang's idea, Gao Mengtang would be full of gratitude to Wei Wei. His brother's life was hanging by a thread, so he would have no time to think carefully. He would be eager to sign "Never Leave, Never Abandon" as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
He went through so much trouble just to force Gao Geng to death so that Gao Mengtang would sign the scroll.
Gao Mengtang tried to tear it, but it didn't work. He adjusted his expression and said, "The effect of [Never Leave, Never Abandon] is not about living and dying together, right? On the sixth day of the game, you and Wei Wei acted and deliberately conveyed the wrong information to me. Right?"
Qin Xishuang opened his eyes wide, his face turned as pale as paper due to excessive blood loss.
[Never Leave, Never Abandon] Skill Effect:
The two people who signed the scroll will become close friends, sharing skills, items, and basic stats.
Even the dead do not abandon. When one of the parties dies, the living will not abandon the dead, but will use the power of the scroll to refine the dead into a puppet, making them lose their self-awareness. The skills and props of the dead are retained and can still be shared.
Only usable by [207 Butterfly Fairy].
The effect cannot be erased and is permanent.
As long as Gao Mengtang signs, then, in life, I will be his person, in death, I will be his ghost. There is no escape.
Qin Xishuang can use Gao Mengtang's [Supernatural Expertise] and his Twelve Ghost Shadows' Charm Aura to gain 999 spirit value and possess super strong spirit resistance.
It's OK, let Gao Mengtang get that item... Black Tower Key
Even if Gao Mengtang died when obtaining the Black Tower Key, it would not affect anything, as the items and skills would still be shared.
What a wonderful idea, but unfortunately, it failed.
Qin Xishuang refused to give up, with a desperate and cruel light in her eyes: "Mengtang, after the skill scroll is activated, my charm skill will be ineffective. For the rest of our lives, we will be each other's only one, and live together forever."
"Sign it," Qin Xishuang coughed up blood, "I will be your most loyal partner."
No one was listening to his sentimental speech. He Lun was holding a spear and stabbing Qin Xishuang again and again.
It is a good habit to make timely last-hit.
Top players like Qin Xishuang, whose physical fitness has reached the level of metaphysics, were still gasping for breath even though their hearts were stabbed into a pool of flesh. He stretched out his left hand with three rings on it and grabbed Gao Mengtang's feet.
His tender eyes were filled with heartbreaking tears: "Mengtang, I am not a playboy. Whether I seduced Wei Wei or Yu Le, I was just using them and never had any true heart..."
Hearing this, Wei Wei and Yu Le showed hurt expressions, and they looked incredulous: "Xi Shuang, what are you talking about."
"I have true feelings for you." Qin Xishuang's voice was weak and broken, "Promise me, Mengtang."
Gao Mengtang took a step back, and the blood-stained hand fell down weakly.
A flash of bitter hatred flashed across Qin Xishuang's eyes, and blood oozed from his gums: "What are you waiting for, Wei Wei, kill Gao Mengtang."
The dark green tentacles attacked Gao Mengtang's face, and Wei Wei's scream of pain was the first to sound.
[Sniper Knife] pierced through Wei Wei's scapula, and the blade sank deeply into the wall.
Wei Wei's tool is really useful. It is quick and silent, and has great killing power. Unfortunately, he used it on his own people.
We also have to thank Gao Mengtang for his profound artistic accomplishments. He has a thorough understanding of the body structure and can accurately locate the scapula.
"I'm sorry, Wei Wei." Gao Mengtang was still hit by the tentacles, and his nose was bleeding. He stood up staggeringly, "Also, you are really not suitable to follow Qin Xishuang."
Wei Wei had suffered a fatal injury, his spirit value dropped sharply, and the nail pierced his scapula. He was sweating all over his head in pain, and he didn't even have the strength to pull out the knife. He Luo also shrank into a small ball of green jelly, hiding in the corner, not daring to say a word.
Even so, Wei Wei still said with tears in his eyes: "Don't hurt Xi Shuang, Gao Mengtang, come to me."
The white light of [Gong Ge Yu Bo] faded away, and the fragrance of flowers burst out again. Qin Xishuang recovered his strength, propped up his body with his one arm, and wiped the blood off his face.
He casually grabbed Heron's spear and squeezed it with one hand. The spear shaft broke into pieces like a finger biscuit.
Then he punched He Lun in the face. He Lun fell to the ground without a sound.
"Oh my, the last capable follower has also fallen." Qin Xishuang stretched out her long legs and stepped over the unconscious He Lun. "Gao Mengtang, how long can you continue to struggle? Do you think you can kill me?"
Qin Xishuang approached step by step, blocked Gao Mengtang in the corner, held the back of his neck, and made his head lean over, with their noses touching.
"I'll give you one last chance to choose, death or signing the contract?"
She whispered softly and tenderly, but there was a cold murderous intent in Qin Xishuang's eyes.
Bai Jie was unconscious, He Lun's gun and shield were shattered, his brother was corroded by pollutants, and Wei Wei was bewitched.
Gao Mengtang was the only one left, confronting Qin Xishuang, the leader of the four major camps who was consistently ranked in the top 10 of the honor list. Behind him, there was Yu Le, who had always wanted to kill Gao Mengtang.
The enemy rabbit was still jumping around innocently. It approached the corpse in the center of the exhibition hall and sniffed left and right.
Gao Mengtang's gaze passed Qin Xishuang, looked around the messy exhibition hall, and lingered on Yu Le's face for a few seconds.
Somehow, Yu Le's heart beat two beats faster.
The mental pollution in [Slant Shadow World] is several times stronger than that in the game world. Less than a quarter of an hour after entering, Gao Mengtang's mental value dropped from 999 to 890.
"Do you really like me?" Gao Mengtang withdrew his gaze.
Qin Xishuang's eyes lit up with hope: "Of course."
Gao Mengtang: "What about Yu Le? Who is he?"
Qin Xishuang frowned impatiently: "Just a chess piece."
"No! Xishuang, how could you hurt my heart like this!" Yu Le wailed, his excessive grief loosening something in his heart. His spirit value had dropped below 40, he felt dizzy, and the whole world seemed to collapse.
Last night, Bai Jie's words came to my mind again.
"The control effect of charm is very unstable. If the person being charmed has excessive mood swings or low spirits, they may be out of the charm's control."
"To put it another way, the person being charmed may lose his head at some point."
…
Gao Mengtang prepared himself for a few seconds, and endured the discomfort: "Then I want to hear you tell me in person."
"say what?"
"You know." Gao Mengtang raised his hand and gently stroked Qin Xishuang's cheek. "You are a butterfly. If you don't express your feelings to me, how can I dare to give you my true feelings?"
"I only love you!" Qin Xishuang said excitedly. He pushed Gao Mengtang's hand down, slid it across his neck, and gently pressed his shoulder. "From the beginning to the end, I have never been moved by any chess piece. I have never even had a relationship. What I yearn for is to be together as a couple for the rest of my life."
Yu Le looked at the two inseparable figures with a confused expression, muttering: "Qin Xishuang, you..."
The mental value drops to 25, the body begins to undergo alienation, scales grow on the skin, and webbed fingers appear.
"Mengtang, you are the one I want to be with for the rest of my life!" Qin Xishuang shouted. He must have acted in a drama, his behavior was exaggerated and his expression was vivid.
Gao Mengtang glanced at Yu Le again, then frowned, looking a little worried: "Have you really never been sincere to Yu Le for even a second?"
Qin Xishuang reacted strongly: "I didn't! Never! I only love you, and I have never been attracted to him for even a second..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the trident pierced through Qin Xishuang's abdomen from behind. Yu Le stabbed him, swung him in a semicircle in the air, and smashed him hard on the floor.
Qin Xishuang's head hit the ground first, and her cervical vertebrae made a cracking sound.
The one who attacked Qin Xishuang was Yu Le. Because his mental value was too low and he was hurt by Qin Jueqing's words, the double blow broke free from the charm control.
How strong the love was in the past is how strong the hatred is now.
"How dare you seduce me and treat me like a dog, tell me to get out. Qin Xishuang." Yu Le grabbed Qin Xishuang's long hair, pressed his head, and slammed it against the floor again and again.
When the spirit value is below 20, the alienation speeds up. Yu Le's eyes turn red, his eyelids disappear, and the fin on his back pierces his clothes. He beats Qin Xishuang like crazy, cursing as he beats.
"Who the hell are you calling disgusting!"
"Who are you telling to get out of here!"
Yu Le had gone mad and was mentally ill. He had no other intentions except to beat Qin Xishuang violently to vent his anger. His fighting ability was high, and his alienation had strengthened his attack. With his fists and feet, Qin Xishuang was beaten to death.
But it soon revived.
[207 Butterfly Fairy] Identity Skill: [Transform into a Butterfly]
After death, it will turn into a cocoon. If the cocoon is not broken, the butterfly fairy will be resurrected after 30 minutes.
The cocoon silk wrapped around Qin Xishuang's bloody body, the shell was as hard as reinforced concrete. Yu Le was still fighting, his attacks were disorganized, like scraping.
Finally getting a moment of safety, Gao Mengtang squatted beside his brother.
Dark red liquid oozed out of the brain endlessly. Gao Geng had already broken free from the suppression and put the iron plate of the mechanical skull back.
He raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot.
Gao Mengtang was stunned. He saw... murderous intent in his brother's eyes.
The next second, Gao Geng turned over and jumped up, passing Gao Mengtang and pounced on the enemy rabbit.
...Why are you picking on a little rabbit?
The enemy rabbit was very skilled. It rushed left and right as if teasing Gao Geng, but he didn't touch a single hair of it. However, it kept circling around the corpse in the center of the exhibition hall.
The skin of Gao Geng's human half was ulcerated and blackened, with pus-filled lumps. They burst with a snap, and foul-smelling pus exploded.
He couldn't hold on for much longer. Gao Mengtang didn't know how to remove the pollution.
However, the thing called "dirty blood" was injected into her brother's body by Qin Xishuang, and they should know more about the treatment method.
Gao Mengtang picked up the spear that was broken into two pieces and walked towards Wei Wei.
Wei Wei's shoulder blade was pierced, affecting the brachial plexus, and he was completely unable to lift one arm. When he saw Gao Mengtang coming towards him, he glared at him fiercely.
"How to save my brother." Gao Mengtang weighed the broken blade in his hand.
Wei Wei sneered and did not answer.
Qin Xishuang must have been afraid of Wei Wei, so she used a more advanced charm technique on him, but Wei Wei showed no sign of getting out of control.
The sharp blade pressed against Wei Wei's chin, forcing him to look up. Gao Mengtang squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Speak."
Blood dripped slowly down the blade. Wei Wei laughed chillingly, "I don't know. Even if I know, I won't tell you. I won't betray Chief Qin."
Gao Mengtang stared at him for a long while, shook his head and sighed: "Wrong direction..."
The broken blade in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. Gao Mengtang held the handle of the sniper knife and said in an eerily calm voice: "I will count to five. If you don't tell me the answer, this knife will pierce into Qin Xishuang's cocoon."
"five."
Wei Wei's face changed. The sniper knife has strong penetrating power. Ordinary defense is useless in front of it. It will really threaten Qin Xishuang's safety.
"Four."
The flying knife was pulled out with a swish, and Wei Wei barely stood against the wall. The repeated serious injuries made him lose his ability to fight.
"three."
"two."
Before the last number fell, Wei Wei said in panic: "I say! I say! There is a prop in the left hand of the reveler, it can remove the curse!"
The revelers? Where?
Gao Mengtang looked back and saw only a charred corpse in the middle of the exhibition hall. The enemy rabbits were running around it, and Gao Geng tried his best to chase it.
That corpse, is that of the reveler?
Without time to think about these, Gao Mengtang rushed over and spread out the left hand of the charred corpse. In the palm of his hand was a mini full moon ball.
System: "Congratulations on obtaining the item [Black Tower Key], you can now open the Black Tower!"
What is the relationship between the key and decontamination? Gao Mengtang was about to ask, but when he looked up, he saw Wei Wei's cunning smile.
"The curse cannot be removed, but your brother's journey to the underworld will be smoother."
He Lun woke up at this time. He held his head and looked around unconsciously. He suddenly shouted: "Brother! Behind you!"
The carbonized and shrunken corpse gradually evaporated with black smoke. The mist condensed into dark red blood, which was all absorbed by the left arm of the reveler.
The moment he got the key to the Black Tower, Gao Geng suddenly stopped moving. He stood there in a daze. Strange dark red patterns appeared under his skin. The patterns surged and swam, turning into blood mist and seeping out from every pore.
The australia healed and the ulcerated skin was repaired.
The pollution in Gao Geng's body was also absorbed by the severed hand.
Only a pile of dry bones remained, but within a few breaths, the body became full of flesh and blood, and the skin became crystal clear.
Gao Mengtang saw his brother return to his original form, but before he could be happy, he saw the broken arm bounce up by itself, like a long snake dancing in the air, and its sharp five fingers grabbed Gao Geng.
With a "whoosh", the broken arm pierced through the chest.
Gao Mengtang stood in front of his brother. He coughed up blood, lowered his head, and saw the severed hand of the reveler piercing his left chest. His heart must have been broken, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.
The severed hand rolled violently in the chest like a dehydrated fish, stirring up blood foam and bone fragments.
Gao Mengtang used his remaining strength to grasp the left wrist of his broken arm and pressed it into his body.
The broken arm melted again and turned into a dark red sticky liquid, which spread along the wound and to all parts of the body.
All the pollution was transferred into Gao Mengtang's body.
"younger brother!"
"elder brother!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, and Gao Geng and He Lun rushed towards Gao Mengtang together.
It felt as if the magma of hell was rolling in his body, and every breath caused muscles all over his body to swell and ache. Gao Mengtang himself was surprised that he still had the strength to speak.
"Book of the Past Life... Helun... You take my brother away."
The words were spoken in a voice as quiet as a mosquito, but they were like a bolt of thunder. He Lun suddenly opened his eyes wide and his pupils shrank sharply.
On the crescent boat in the sea cave, Gao Mengtang asked Wei Wei for the Book of the Afterlife, and then he and He Lun leaned shoulder to shoulder and whispered, "Four books of the Afterlife, take them."
"Brother, what do I do with this?"
"Take it, in case it's useful."
"Okay, I'll take it."
"I'll teach you a few tricks to help you achieve a higher success rate..."
…
Gao Mengtang guessed that he might not be able to get out alive. He came to the [Book of the Past Life] just to ask He Lun to help him save his brother and leave the dungeon.
"Brother..." He Lun said in a crying voice.
Gao Mengtang breathed weakly: "Hurry."
The pollution had spread throughout his body. He was like a cooked shrimp, with a hunched back and a red body.
Gao Geng hugged his brother tightly in his arms, with the wounds on their chests touching each other.
He Lun wiped his tears and took out a book of the afterlife. Just as he was about to use it, the air around him suddenly became quiet. It was so quiet that it made people wonder if they had lost their hearing.
The sound of explosions in the distance, the rumble of the ceiling falling, the sobbing of Wei Wei lying on the cocoon, Yu Le's angry curses... were all extinguished in an instant.
The black quagmire spread, and twelve ghostly lanterns appeared. Twelve black tower lanterns emitted a faint cold light.
They were standing in a circle with their backs to Gao Mengtang. At this moment, they slowly rotated clockwise at the same time, raising their lanterns with the same movements and amplitude.
During the entire process, not a single sound was made.
Twelve lanterns were hanging above Gao Mengtang's head. The dirty blood that had been colliding in his body calmed down in an instant. The blood mist was evaporating quietly, and when it touched the lantern, it quietly turned into white mist and dissipated without a trace.
The curse was lifted.
Bai Jie, who had been unconscious, was buried in the black swamp. He suddenly sat up with renewed energy. Helun's tattered armor, broken shield and spear were also reshaped in a miraculous way and looked brand new.
Wei Wei was kneeling beside the cocoon, calling "Xi Shuang" "Xi Shuang". The mud was up to his thighs. He raised his head in confusion while crying.
"Brother." Gao Geng held Gao Mengtang's shoulders tightly and lifted his chin with one hand. "How are you?"
The severe pain in his body seemed to be cooled by ice. Gao Mengtang smiled and said, "Brother?"
"Yes. It's my brother. My brother is here." They hugged each other even tighter. The wounds on their chests, pressed tightly together, healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gao Mengtang chose the [Supernatural] skill, and a white light enveloped them.
"The salvation was successful."
With a loud splash, the silence was broken, and the quagmire instantly dissipated. A chaotic cacophony of noises appeared at the same time. Amid the noise, the system prompt came like the gospel of salvation:
"Congratulations on completing the hidden side quest [Curse of the Dead Birth]."
"The copy will be forcibly closed in 10 seconds."
“The rewards are being settled.”
