Chapter 74 No Man, Only Gold (22) Narrow Gate. Key. …
Gao Mengtang quickly calmed down: "Duan Song and I will go to rescue Wei Wei. You two are easy to be discovered, so hide in the basement first."
"We want to go too!" said the pastor.
Gao Mengtang: "The butcher will find out that you are out of control. Hide in the basement."
"We can pretend to be controlled." Lucky took out two boxes of cosmetic contact lenses and showed them proudly, "Full black contact lenses, after putting them on, it's almost the same as if there were no whites in the eyes."
Duan Song thought it was feasible. He had rich experience in dungeons. He judged Xu Wei to be a low-IQ butcher who was easily deceived. He showed that he was controlled and he would not detect the breath.
It is very difficult to put on the full contact lenses, but the lucky one put them on more smoothly. She tried very hard and finally put the contact lenses into the pastor's eyes.
"What strange colored contact lenses! How did you get them?" the pastor asked.
Lucky used her bangs to hide the white of her eyes: "I like cosplay, I have a mountain of fake fur costumes and I also carry colored contact lenses with me."
The pastor glanced at the Bulgari three-circle snake bracelet on Lucky's wrist and said: "Well, he is a child from a rich family. No wonder he is called Lucky."
“No, my parents…”
Lucky stopped chatting and made a shushing gesture.
The two climbed the stairs and unexpectedly ran into Xu Wei. He had become even bigger, almost twice as big as when they first met. His head was touching the ceiling, and his neck was thicker than their waists.
The girls immediately became expressionless.
Xu Wei: “Ho ho, ah.”
"Boss, we," Lucky spoke haltingly, "will be buried with him. But, Ms. Bu, there are still some items that have not been thrown down. We are here to get them."
Xu Wei tilted his head and thought for a while, then let them go.
The butcher left, and Lucky and the priest immediately dropped their disguises: "It's really stupid."
At the corner of the corridor, He Lun, Bai Jie, Shengun and Wei Wei lined up in a row and walked out as if they had lost their souls.
Two dark shadows, Lucky and the Pastor, approached silently from behind. One of them covered Wei Wei's mouth, and the other held his waist and dragged him back.
Gao Mengtang chose a door that he liked, pushed it open with all his strength, and Wei Wei was thrown in.
Wei Wei staggered a few times, stood firm, and stared at Lucky and the pastor for a few seconds with his eyes without whites: "Maid, you actually betrayed Boss Xu."
He found that the two players were out of Xu Wei's control.
"Oh, you are much smarter than the butcher." The pastor praised.
Gao Mengtang held onto the edge of her white lace apron and quietly poked her head out.
Unexpectedly, Wei Wei was quick-witted and agile. His expression changed and he grabbed Gao Mengtang in his hand with lightning speed, slowly exerting force.
"Mrs. Bu, you were buried with the dead. Why weren't you burned to death?" Wei Wei asked in a deep voice.
He also knew that the doll possessed by Gao Mengtang was buried with Bu Xiaoting? This should be the information instilled in him by the copy.
There must be a key clue on this doll.
Right now, there was no time to think about these things. Gao Mengtang kicked his legs in vain: "Wei Wei, wake up, it's me."
"The doll can move?" The darkness in Wei Wei's eyes dissipated a little, and soon recovered. His slender fingers slowly exerted force, "Buried with her. Die with her..."
His palm suddenly clenched, Gao Mengtang couldn't catch his breath, and he held onto one of Wei Wei's fingers with both hands, struggling hard: "Do you have any props, healing or purification? I'm going to be crushed to death!"
Lucky was so anxious that he turned around and around: "No, they are all used up. You can't buy things in the system mall in the copy!"
Wei Wei was still trying hard. Gao Mengtang was having trouble breathing and tried to wake him up with fierce words: "Wei Wei, I'm going to deduct your salary and bonus. If you kill me, your two hundred thousand will go down the drain!"
The scene was in chaos, Lucky and the priest struggled to pry Wei Wei's arms, Duan Song jumped up and bit Wei Wei's calf. The three people and the two dolls were in a tangle.
Seeing Gao Mengtang's face flushed red, he could only shout "deduct salary" in vain. Lucky was so angry that he raised his hand high.
Pah. A slap.
Wei Wei turned his face away and turned his head back after a long while.
Snap. Another slap.
Suddenly, Gao Mengtang stopped shouting "deduct wages". Everyone fell silent and stared at Wei Wei blankly.
"Are you crazy? He is a castrator!" The pastor was shocked and quickly grabbed the lucky man's hand.
"I'm not afraid! My parents will protect me." The lucky guy shouted at the top of his lungs and tried to rush forward, but was held down by the pastor.
Wei Wei slowly turned his head and stared at Gao Mengtang, who was tightly held by him. For a few seconds, there was a chilling silence.
"Are you serious?" Wei Wei suddenly asked.
Gao Mengtang stopped kicking his legs: "Ah?"
"Deduction from salary."
Gao Mengtang: "Are you awake?"
Wei Wei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly.
Physical exorcism, the tools are simple, convenient and effective.
Duan Song held his pipe high in both hands and presented it like a treasure. Lucky and the priest breathed a sigh of relief and began to apologize, receiving the magnanimous forgiveness of Wei Wei. Gao Mengtang was placed on the cushion of the bedside table.
After a narrow escape, Wei Wei recounted some key information he obtained after being controlled.
One of the characteristics of Xu Wei, the butcher [Yanhuake] is that if you get close to him, you will be strongly spiritually polluted by [Tao follows nature], gradually losing your mind, and only thinking about pleasure, decadence, and mating. From human nature, you degenerate into bestiality, and become an animal with only instincts left.
The second characteristic of the Fireworks Man: As more people escape his influence, the Fireworks Man's combat power will increase. At the beginning of the dungeon, there are 6 people under his control. For every person who escapes, the combat power increases by 30%.
Once all are out of control, the Fireworks Man will enter a frenzy.
Wei Wei, Lucky and the priest have already escaped from Xu Wei's influence, but Xu Wei has not yet discovered it. His current combat power has increased by 90%.
Just now when Gao Mengtang met Xu Wei, his body became twice as large as it was originally, which was an outward manifestation of his improved combat power.
After entering the dungeon, Duan Song turned into a little kid, lost his fighting power, and this state could not be removed. Among the remaining players, only Wei Wei had the strength to fight the butcher head-on.
What was even more difficult was that it was not feasible to leave Helun, Baijie and Shengun alone. After becoming puppets, their mental values gradually decreased. Wei Wei estimated that after 20 minutes, they would go crazy and be lost in the dungeon forever.
"What are you going to do?" Gao Mengtang asked.
Wei Wei frowned and thought for a moment: "The battle cannot be avoided. I cannot abandon the three of them. But my spiritual value is only 125, which is not enough to fight against the butcher. Mr. Blind, have you found the spiritual value recovery potion?"
"No..." Gao Mengtang sighed.
There were 35 minutes left in the hatching countdown. Xu Wei hadn't discovered that the evil baby was still alive.
The mission of the side quest is to ensure the successful hatching of the evil infant. It is impossible to set a mission that is easy for a Sequence 4 side quest.
In the remaining time, there will inevitably be an accident and the evil baby will be in danger.
The villa has three floors above ground and two floors underground. The remaining half an hour or so is spent searching the villa, but it is not certain that the spirit value recovery potion can be found unless there are indicative clues.
clue……
Gao Mengtang looked down at the hem of her skirt.
The doll he possessed should contain important information.
Not caring about her image at the moment, Gao Mengtang lifted up her skirt and searched everywhere. Fortunately, the doll was still wearing a pair of white flower shorts.
I searched all over my body but couldn't find anything useful.
"This room seems to be Bu Xiaoting's bedroom." Duan Song looked around.
The room was turned upside down, all the drawers were opened, everything that could be moved was taken away, not even the bed sheets were left behind. On the wall, there was a photo of Bu Xiaoting alone.
Duan Song gave Gao Mengtang a thumbs up and said, "As expected, your luck value is 50. Just push open a door and you will find an important place."
There is a safe in the closet, with a six-digit combination lock, and the combination is in English letters. There is a circle of golden light around the box, indicating that the player cannot break it open with brute force.
"What should I do? Where can I find the password?" The pastor began to get nervous again. "Bu, Xiao, Ting. Nie, Ying...these words are not six pinyin letters."
Wei Wei squatted in front of the password box, thought for a moment, and turned the password dial.
"Unlocking success."
Lucky's eyes widened in surprise: "Master, how did you do it? What's the password?"
"I guessed it," Wei Wei opened the box, "the password is the pinyin of the two words 'Ephemeral Flower'."
To enter the room, one needs Bu Xiaoting's permission card, and on that permission card there is an Epiphyllum printed.
The contents of the box cast a layer of disappointment on the player's face.
There were no props, no spirit-restoring potions, but instead a pile of manuscripts and photos.
Wei Wei quickly flipped through the manuscripts and photos. A little doll appeared repeatedly.
Blue dress with bow, platform princess shoes. All the clothes were made by Bu Xiaoting herself, with detailed designs in the manuscript, from the pattern to every centimeter of pattern sewing.
It was the one possessed by Gao Mengtang. However, the doll was not as beautiful as Gao Mengtang. Her skin was blue, her eyes were red, and her eyes were as big as copper bells, revealing a brilliant smile with 24 shark teeth.
It's an evil baby.
Gao Mengtang sat in Wei Wei's palm, looking at the photos and then at the skirt she was wearing.
"It's different here." Gao Mengtang pointed to the doll's chest.
There was a faint, silvery-white, elongated arch-shaped pattern on Nie Ying's skirt, but not on Gao Mengtang's.
"In the Black Tower game, the arch generally symbolizes a narrow gate," Duan Song said.
The arch pattern disappeared.
Gao Mengtang checked her skirt again, and suddenly thought of something: "Duan Song, where is your knife?"
"What are you doing here?" Duan Song handed over the knife without any defense.
Gao Mengtang compared the photos, lowered his head and clenched the knife.
Unexpectedly, he pointed the blade at his chest, stabbed it directly, and slashed it vertically downwards!
"You are crazy!" Duan Song wanted to stop him, but he was a second too late, and Gao Mengtang's body had been cut open by himself.
Gao Mengtang continued to push: "Don't worry, it doesn't hurt. If the clue is not with me, then it can only be in my body."
The blade cut through the ribs and slashed the abdomen. The baby's abdominal cavity was empty, with only a warm white light. A shadow of a door appeared behind Gao Mengtang, and its outline gradually became clear.
Duan Song muttered to himself: "It really is the [Narrow Gate]. This doll is the key to open the narrow gate. Bu Xiaoting is related to the Black Tower game..."
Without having time to think about these things, Wei Wei was the first to reach his hand into the narrow door and pull out a bunch of props.
Gems, scrolls, and bones fell to the ground, along with several bottles of crystal clear, colorless, transparent potions. Lucky shouted in surprise, "Spirit value recovery potion!"
The five people treated the narrow door as a zero-dollar supermarket and scrambled for things in a panic.
A shrill scream suddenly rang out from behind the void shrouded in white light. A pale, skinny hand reached out, grabbed the door, and slammed it shut.
A pale face flashed before the door closed. Gao Mengtang was stunned for a moment, still holding a gem in his arms.
That face looks like Bu Xiaoting.
It was not the NPC Bu Xiaoting with a low ponytail in the 352nd year created by the Black Tower in the side quest. It was the real Bu Xiaoting with short hair in the 362nd year.
Gao Mengtang rubbed his eyes and said nothing.
