Chapter 90: The Wise King [726 Drowned Wrathful Soul]
With the small inner world space created by [Ice Bowl Bubble], Enemy Rabbit can go back to replenish his strength at any time, and he can exist in human form for a longer period of time.
Duan Song did book a bridal shop. Gao Mengtang didn't wear one, but Enemy Rabbit wore one happily.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the bed, facing the floor-length mirror, trying on a veil.
Gao Mengtang hugged the chained book and threw himself on the bed: "I'll ask you a few questions about the other world."
"After I was injured, I almost forgot everything about the other world." Su Ji Meng said. He seemed to be touched when he saw the chain book. He was stunned for a moment and put down his veil. "What is this? Where did it come from?"
"The black tower in the other world." Gao Mengtang repeated his experience.
Su Ji took the chained book, flipped through it, and didn't speak for a long time.
"Do you recognize this book?" Gao Mengtang asked, raising his head.
Su Ji Meng drooped his eyelashes, his gray-white eyelashes seemed covered with frost, and his pair of light blue, almost colorless, transparent eyes were cold and emotionless.
The angle of his jaw was tense, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down. Su Ji raised his eyes, and pushed aside his bangs. His smooth silver hair shone with a cold, hard metallic luster. He stared at Gao Mengtang for a moment, with no expression on his face.
At this moment, Gao Mengtang suddenly realized that although the Enemy Rabbit looked soft, cute and liked to act coquettishly, he was actually a terrifying existence from the other world. His pressure was stronger than that of Wei Wei, Duan Song, or even any butcher in the copy.
"You, why are you staring at me?" Gao Mengtang shrank his neck.
Su Ji withdrew his gaze and closed the chain book.
"What's in the book?"
"Tangtang, I don't want to talk about it."
Gao Mengtang wanted to take the chained book back, but Su Ji Meng held his arm. He was thin and beautiful, so beautiful that it was difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman, but his strength was amazing.
"Don't hold me down," Gao Mengtang said, acting like a master. "I won't give you any strawberries."
Suddenly, the world spun around and Gao Mengtang was pinned down by Su Ji.
Su Ji was half a head taller than Gao Mengtang and had a larger frame. His whole body covered Gao Mengtang, his nose rubbing against his chest, and his silver hair rustling against the fabric of his clothes.
"What are you doing?" Gao Mengtang pushed his shoulder, but failed.
Su Ji rested his head on Gao Mengtang's chest, one hand tightly pressing the chained book: "Tangtang, this is my diary. It records why I committed a serious crime and was exiled. This is a secret I want to keep."
Wasn't he demoted because he had intercourse with the Deathborn and gave birth to a [Feaster] with half Moon Clan blood and half Deathborn blood?
Is there any hidden story behind this?
The pushing and rejecting action paused for a moment.
As for the diary, it would be a bit troublesome. No one wants to show the diary to others, and Gao Mengtang doesn't want to pry into other people's privacy.
"I just want to know what the ghost lantern is." Gao Mengtang said carefully, "In my charm aura, there are 12 ghost lanterns. I saw 7 ghost sculptures in the black tower..."
"Ghosts are a curse." Su Ji said, "That's what I wrote in my diary. They will make us lose the joy of life and become puppets. That's what I wrote in my diary."
The pictures came to my mind again.
…
Gao Mengtang: "Who are you and why did you save me?"
"It's not salvation, it's a curse." The ghost's voice was ethereal.
"You can't escape. Just like us."
"Suicide... is useless."
"We are just puppets. We have no power to choose... including... choosing death."
…
Gao Mengtang came to his senses and found Su Ji still pressing on him.
"I'm cursed?" Gao Mengtang asked, "What about you? Are you cursed too?"
"I don't know." Su Ji said in a sullen voice, "Tangtang, I really don't know."
Gao Mengtang: "Then let me take a look at the diary. I can't understand the words in the other world anyway."
There was a flash of hesitation in Su Ji's eyes. When the two of them were in a stalemate, a cold voice came down.
"What are you doing, you bastard?"
At the door, Gao Geng was holding a plate of freshly washed fruit and a glass of warm water, his expression was so cold that he looked like he wanted to kill someone: "Get off my brother."
Without waiting for Su Ji to speak, he pulled Su Ji Meng away with one hand.
Although he had terrifying strength, Su Ji pretended to be weak and fell to the ground, crying out "Tangtang, look at my brother-in-law, he's hitting me!"
"..." Don't pretend.
Also, what kind of brother-in-law is this?
When Su Ji fell off the bed, he was still holding the chained book in his hand. Gao Geng glanced at it and reached out to grab it.
The chained book was pressed to the floor by Su Ji, and Gao Geng could not move it even with all his strength. The two of them were secretly competing, and Su Ji had the upper hand, but he still pretended to be pitiful and wiped his tears.
"What book is this?" Gao Geng asked.
"If you hit me, I won't tell you!" Su Ji pretended to cry.
The spread out page was filled with dense words. When writing this diary, Su Ji seemed to be avoiding something, and many words were crossed out.
Gao Geng stared at the open page for a while and read a line of words: "I am very afraid of ■■. He is the supreme being, the only true God, but I don't want to..."
Swish. The book slammed shut. Su Ji's expression suddenly became serious: "Do you know the language of the other world?"
Gao Geng glanced at him and was too lazy to speak.
Before being saved by Gao Mengtang, Gao Geng was the keeper of the Black Tower dungeon. The keeper must be proficient in the language of the other world, but after being saved, Gao Geng had basically forgotten all the language of the other world.
Perhaps it was because Gao Geng was too angry when he saw this bastard pressing on his younger brother, and in his emotional state, he was able to understand some of it.
"What are those two words you crossed out?" Gao Geng asked.
"It's all painted over. I can't even see clearly myself!" Su Ji shouted with his neck stiffened.
The fruit plate and water were gently placed on the table. Gao Geng sat by the bed and hugged his brother with one arm. He looked down at him and said, "Rabbit, you'd better understand that now you are the one who depends on my brother. Without him, you will only be poisoned by the air of the surface world again and again."
Su Ji's expression changed.
The offensive and defensive situations were very different. Now, Su Ji needed to return to the bubble world to replenish his energy at any time. Just as Gao Geng said, he couldn't leave Gao Mengtang.
Moreover, Su Ji read a shocking piece of information in the diary... He needed a lot of time to investigate the truth...
"Okay, I'll only answer this last question." Su Ji said, opening the diary and looking at the black square again and again.
Two characters were blacked out, but some were not blacked out, and the strokes could be vaguely recognized. Su Ji turned to every page with "■■" and read it again and again in the black mass.
"You all bullied me," Su Ji muttered aggrievedly while identifying the strokes, "you bullied me, a poor single mother who had a child out of wedlock. My son was killed by you, and you have no mercy on me at all..."
The Gao brothers pretended not to hear.
Finally, Su Ji found two squares that were not fully painted and spent a while identifying them.
"A wise king."
The two words that were blackened were "Xian Wang". Gao Geng confirmed again: "It looks like it is indeed [Xian Wang]."
"Who is the wise king?" Gao Mengtang asked.
Obviously, there is no answer to this question. Su Ji is very taboo about "Xian Wang" and even blacks out these two words. In his diary, he will definitely not record any detailed information about Xian Wang.
"I really don't know," Su Ji replied, "In my diary, I just mentioned repeatedly that I was afraid of the Wise King and wanted to stay away from Him."
The three people in the room were silent for a moment. Gao Mengtang sighed softly: "Mengmeng, we are all related, and we share the same honor and disgrace. You——"
"I know, Tangtang," Su Ji said sincerely, "but the secret I want to keep is only about myself."
After leaving the room, Su Ji found a quiet and deserted room and opened the diary again. There was no one around, and he completely took off his disguise, his expression as cold as a glacier in March.
"Deadborn...why would I do this?"
Also, who is that wise king that he is so afraid of?
*
At the same time, in another room, Gao Mengtang was eating fruit, thinking about the words "virtuous king" in his heart.
Wise king.
king.
Suddenly, Gao Mengtang remembered his sculpture: a man lying under the throne.
He rushed to the first floor and examined the sculpture again, from beginning to end, not missing any detail. The more he looked, the colder he felt.
The man lying under the throne had his head lowered, and his long hair and arms resting on the armrests of the throne blocked his face, so his features could not be seen clearly.
Wise King. throne.
Is it a coincidence? Who is the person he carved?
*
Gao Mengtang and others obtained an identity card in [No People, Only Gold]. Gao Mengtang wanted to give the identity card to his brother, but there was a problem: Gao Geng was the keeper of the secret.
The keeper was originally the administrator appointed by the system. To steal the keeper away quietly was a big taboo in hacking the game. If the brother binds his ID card and becomes a player, he will be monitored by the system.
Once discovered by the system, there is no telling what terrible things will happen. Wei Wei said that there is a type of identity card with strong basic performance, and the debuff is [Black Household]. Players with the Black Household debuff will get fewer props and will not be able to post clearance videos.
There is no clearance video, and there will be no hidden camera tracking. The system is very busy, and there are many bugs to deal with. It will not be idle to click on the player's homepage to check the status. The black account debuff can greatly reduce the probability of the brother being discovered by the system.
The process of binding the ID card to my brother had to be slowed down. Fortunately, as the keeper of secrets, Gao Geng had a special identity and was also Gao Mengtang's brother, so they were highly compatible. When he was free to move, he would not consume Gao Mengtang's spiritual value.
Gao Mengtang released his brother and let him move freely.
That night, everyone held a meeting.
There are two issues to be resolved at the meeting.
1. Dungeon loot distribution
2. There is only one spot left to anchor Qin Xishuang and enter the dungeon with her. Who wants to go together?
The second problem is difficult to solve because everyone is clamoring to "stand by the leader", so let's solve the first problem first.
The internal relationship of Yue Fan is harmonious, and the spoils are easy to distribute. There will be no fighting over who has more or less. Ancestral remains, broken bones, common props, potion bottles and other items are quickly distributed.
There is one [Mysterious Gem] left, which is more difficult to deal with.
[Mysterious Gem] can evolve the player's identity card, making the player's strength increase by leaps and bounds.
By using a mysterious gem, the ID card may evolve once or even multiple times, or it may fail to evolve.
No one rushed to get it, but everyone looked at the mysterious gem with eager eyes.
Wei Wei and Duan Song gave up the competition for the mysterious gem because their identity cards had already evolved many times and needed more advanced props to evolve again, so it would be a waste to give them the gem.
Gao Mengtang also gave up the gems. Because the identity card [000 Blind] was the most useless Sequence 10, the internal test players had done experiments and fed the [000 Blind] identity card with a lot of natural treasures, but all failed to evolve.
The beta test players concluded that the [000 Blind] identity card cannot evolve.
Giving the only gem to Gao Mengtang might be wasted.
The remaining candidates are He Lun, Bai Jie and Xiao Canglan.
"Fingers or drawing lots." Wei Wei crossed his fingers and placed them on the table.
Bai Jie stared at the [Mysterious Gem] and swallowed: "Anything is fine."
Wei Wei put the gem aside, took out a piece of paper, and tore it up slowly: "Let's draw lots. Freesia doesn't know how to play finger-guessing yet."
As he lowered his head to make marks on the scraps of paper, there was an exclamation from the table.
"Freesia, you!"
“Oh my god!”
Freesia grabbed the [mysterious gem] and played with it for a while. She thought it was because the gem was warm and transparent, like a piece of juicy jelly. She actually stuffed the gem directly into her mouth and chewed it up!
Everyone stared at him, and Freesia's face scrunched up, "It tastes awful, hard. Gege, jelly."
She pounced on Gao Mengtang and asked for jelly in a coquettish manner.
Gao Mengtang: "... Gems, can I eat them?"
Wei Wei blinked: "Theoretically, yes."
The little girl, who was searching her pockets for jelly, suddenly screamed and rolled on the floor. Her skin quickly turned blue, shark teeth pierced her lips, and her eyes were red enough to drip blood.
"The evolution has begun, hurry up, painkillers! Spiritual value recovery potions!" Duan Song shouted.
The others took out a bunch of auxiliary potions and used them all on Freesia. Freesia rolled over and screamed, roaring like a beast, and she smashed several holes in the marble floor.
Bai Jie was extremely anxious: "What's going on? Is there any danger to his life?"
"I don't know. The evolution process of each player is different," Wei Wei said solemnly, "It is also possible that the evolution may fail."
The screams were heart-wrenching, and the pain seemed to be transmitted to every player through the sound. Xiao Canglan threw herself into Gao Mengtang's arms, screaming: "Gege! Gege!"
Gao Mengtang hugged her tightly, wishing he could take her place.
"Evolution was successful!" Wei Wei said in surprise.
Above Freesia's head, there was originally a line of words [726 Water Spirit], but with a scream, it gradually broke into pieces and turned into [726 Water Monster]
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, I realized something was not right.
It seems that evolution has not stopped yet. Freesia's screams became more and more shrill, so miserable that it made people cry.
【726 Water Monster】A few words shattered and turned into 【726 Water Monster】
Second evolution!
Everyone felt sorry for Freesia, but was also a little surprised. Using an item once and evolving it twice was something only a very few talented players could do.
"The next level of [726 Water Monster] is [726 Water Ghost]," Bai Jie said, unable to hide his joy, "Xiao Canglan is doing really well, only a little bit behind Bo Yao!"
The screaming hasn't stopped yet.
The logo on Freesia's head shattered for the third time and became [726 Water Ghost]
"Fuck, three consecutive evolutions!" He Lun jumped for joy. "Duan Song, your best record is probably three consecutive evolutions!"
Duan Song stared at Xiao Canglan with his mouth wide open, and said slowly: "Young people are to be feared."
With only one gem, he was on the same level as Bo Yao, who was known as the "chosen one of heaven". The players were extremely glad that they got Xiao Canglan back.
The screams gradually stopped. Xiao Canglan's face was covered with blood and tears. She hugged Gao Mengtang tightly and refused to let go. Her sharp nails were like scimitars, scratching Gao Mengtang's arm until it was bloody.
Gao Mengtang endured the pain and gently stroked her shoulders: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's over. Don't eat anything carelessly in the future."
However, it’s not over yet.
Xiao Canglan stopped screaming and struggling, and quietly leaned in Gao Mengtang's arms. The words above her head shattered for the fourth time, changing from [726 Water Ghost] to [726 Drowned Ghost]
"Four, four consecutive evolutions..." Bai Jie's face turned pale, "There has never been anyone in our family who can evolve four times in a row, Xiao Canglan... Oh my God... Ancient God bless you."
Wei Wei was so surprised that he suddenly laughed: "She broke my record. She has a bright future."
The evolution was over. Xiao Canglan was half-conscious in Gao Mengtang's arms, sobbing.
[726 Drowned Wrathful Soul]'s identity skill: [Sinking Together in the Dead Water]
Skill Description: If I'm drowning, I'll drag everyone down with me.
[726 Drowned Ghost] can release two types of chains, black and white, to connect up to 12 people and sink to the dead water with them.
Players connected by white chains can avoid all damage after sinking into the dead water. Players connected by black chains will continue to receive damage after sinking into the lake.
Skill duration: 10 minutes.
Bai Jie cheered after seeing the skill description. The 726 series identity cards mainly focus on attack and defense, while the identity cards such as Water Spirit, Water Monster, Water Fairy, and Water Ghost do not have attack skills.
Evolving to [Drowning Soul] is a leap forward, which can not only help friendly units to be immune to damage, but also reduce the enemy's health.
Xiao Canglan cried for a while, then her wounds healed and she ran around like nothing happened. Gao Mengtang was in a terrible state, his two arms were scratched and torn, and Gao Geng was bandaging them for him.
The others cheered, and Wei Wei tapped the table with his pipe: "The meeting is not over yet. The second question is, who will accompany the leader and me into the dungeon?"
"Me!" He Lun raised his hand, "I started from the rookie copy with Brother Meng Tang."
Bai Jie also raised his hand: "I come from a wizard family, I know a lot, let me go!"
Duan Song smiled lazily: "I am ranked in the top 50 of the honor list, and I am the strongest. I will go."
"Princess, princess." Freesia came running over, "Go. Go." Meaning she wanted to go too.
Wei Wei frowned and thought for a long time, then lighted the freesia with his pipe and said, "She'll go."
"Why?" Duan Song protested, "She has only evolved 4 times, and I have evolved 6 times, which makes me two orders of magnitude stronger than her."
"You have outstanding attack power, but you can't add defense to your teammates. To deal with Qin Xishuang, the attack power of the next person is more than enough. You have to consider teamwork. Besides..." Wei Wei took a puff of cigarette and coldly stabbed, "You are so unlucky. With you around, nothing good will happen."
Duan Song was so angry that he choked: "Wei Wei, you are making a personal attack! How come you are so unlucky! Come here, let's fight!"
The meeting was over and the dust had settled. He Lun and Bai Jie were slightly disappointed, Duan Song and Wei Wei were arguing fiercely. Xiao Canglan was still in Gao Mengtang's arms, asking for jelly.
A spotlight on the ceiling was shining brightly on the throne sculpture. Gao Mengtang's eyes drifted towards the sculpture, then quietly looked away.
On the second floor, Su Ji Meng rested one hand on the railing and looked down at the noisy living room. He stood with his back to the light, half of his body shrouded in shadow.
