Chapter 115: The Cave of Sorrow (24) The Wall of Ghosts
Video title: "Blood dyed into red wedding dress, life is as light as paper"
In the desolate old house of Wu Xiang, Qin Xishuang's singing could be heard intermittently. He sang a cheerful song, but no one listened or applauded. The notes were like little elves out of place, amusing themselves in the midst of the desolation.
Xiuhong was sitting in the yard in a daze. When she saw the blind man coming in, she immediately rushed over and said, "You must save Brother Shuang!"
: Shuang~Brother~Brother~, you call me so intimately, could it be that you have fallen in love with Qin Xishuang?
: Qin Xishuang's charm can be used on everyone, regardless of gender, age, player or NPC.
: People who fall in love with him will have a hard time, so light the candle for the girl.
The group entered the secret room and stole the self-portrait of Xu Le. The blind man frowned and said, "If the Great Witch finds out, won't Xiu Hong be in great trouble?"
Master of Purification: "...Please put away your compassionate heart."
Several people tried to tear the painting apart, but the painting remained intact. Even Pegana paddled it with a dog paddle, but nothing happened. During this time, the blind man stood by and watched.
The camera moves, and Qin Xishuang and others rush in to cause trouble.
The ball of paper fell to the ground. Gao Mengtang accidentally pulled it, and with a crackling sound, the messy back room fell into silence in an instant.
The painting was torn into pieces.
: What happened? The painting broke when the blind man pulled it?
: Wow! The person coming out of the painting is so beautiful!
: Limo. Appeared in the secret realm that Wei Wei experienced.
: Ice-white hair, dusty eyes. Could this be Fu Ling?
: It seems to be true, he still remembers Wei Wei, and he is so handsome [花痴]
: If you don’t meet someone too amazing when you are young, then the rest of your life, when you see others, they will be just so-so. After seeing the beauty of a blind person, when you look at other people, they will not be good enough.
Fuling's radiance illuminates the walls, like a full moon falling into the mortal world. The painting is floating, and Fuling's upper body emerges from the paper, with broad shoulders and a thin waist wrapped in thin muscles, and skin as clear and flawless as white porcelain.
"It really makes me sad."
"Play a game with me. Maybe I'll feel better."
The male and female voices overlapped, eerie and ghostly. Before the sound faded, their figures disappeared and the paper ball fell to the ground.
With a loud rumble, the earth shook. The sky was clear a few seconds ago, but now it was completely dark. Purple lightning struck down, and the devilishly evil purple light illuminated the profile of every player.
They were still in a daze, not realizing what had happened, when they saw the Wu Xiang's house collapse with a loud bang. It was a large building, but after the collapse, not even bricks or broken beams were left. All of it turned into vast yellow sand, which floated up, got wet by the rain, and fell down, turning into mud all over the ground.
Under the fierce scouring of the rainstorm, white smoke came out of the ground and the players were soaked from head to toe, with their clothes sticking to their bodies.
: The system has given benefits!
: Wet head style! I lick it.
: The figure is more prominent! The shoulders are flat and straight.
: Zoom in and take a closer look. The blind man's abdominal muscles are a whole piece of doge
: You guys! Not serious! Where are you focusing on?
: The blind man is...crying?
In the pouring rain, Gao Mengtang wiped his eyes because water had dripped into them. In fact, others were also wiping the water off their faces, but their actions were very bold. Gao Mengtang was used to being elegant, so he wiped his face slowly and took out a small handkerchief.
: She seemed to be really crying. Woohoo, I can’t bear to see a beautiful woman cry!
: Baby, don't cry! I'll cry for you!
: Bad copy, how can you make our virtuous princess cry.
There were heartbreaking voices in the barrage, "Maybe it was just the rain that blinded my eyes." This kind of truth is only in the hands of a few people.
Others discussed why the blind man cried, was it because the scroll was torn into pieces, or for some other reason.
The clip of a blind man wiping tears, with various camera angles, close-ups and long shots, close-ups of hand movements and details of the eyes, just a few seconds of wiping tears made the system add a full minute to the duration.
A doomsday-like rainstorm, dark clouds pressing down on the mountaintops. The players were in shock and bewilderment. At this moment, a cry shattered the picture of "beauty crying silently".
The Great Wu Xiang cried and fell to his knees, knelt down and kowtowed vigorously: "My Queen, please let my old bones go!"
"When the Wu Xiang residence collapses, Chang Ming Village will be destroyed!"
"No one in this village, including you, can escape, and no one can survive!"
: Huh? Is this the rhythm of the whole group being wiped out?
: Have you never been to a dungeon before? Just listen to the prophecies and curses that the NPCs say. This is a fifth-level difficulty dungeon. All the players who enter are high-level players. How could the whole team be wiped out?
:srds, the survival rate of the fifth level difficulty is less than 60%, so it is normal for a few people to die.
: I understand! The blind man can predict the future, and he is crying for the players who are about to die!
: Looking at the system title, life is as light as paper. Isn't it just hinting that someone is going to die?
Few people questioned it. They were all wise kings (I don’t know what that is but it sounds impressive), so it’s normal for them to be able to predict the future, right?
It is even more normal that players will die in the dungeon and the blind will cry.
: No one should die! Everyone should be alive!
: Who will die? Who will die? I bet on Qin Xishuang. The blind men came just for Qin Xishuang.
: Butterfly was my ex, he died from taking medicine!
: Qin Xishuang died, and the blind cried? Could it be one of Wei Wei and Xiao Canglan?
: I bet on Qin Xishuang [click the link to join the bet]. The blind man is compassionate and will be sad for anyone who dies, even if they are his former enemies.
: I agree. Don’t use the narrow-mindedness of ordinary people to judge the blind.
: Open the bet, buy and leave. Who will die in this copy? Wei Wei or Qin Xishuang, I bet on Wei Wei!
: I bet on Qin Xishuang!
: I bet that everyone except the blind man will be wiped out!
Nanzhou. A single-family villa in the rainforest. Inside the attic.
There were all kinds of scented candles lit in the attic, the fragrance mixed together, so strong that it made people dizzy. The sun was shining brightly outside, but the curtains were not drawn in the room, half-covered, and the light was dim.
The deputy leader of the Dark Flash Butterfly, [777 Fortune Teller] Lin Li, was also watching the clearance video.
"The leader... is dead..." Lin Li repeated like a sleepwalker, "Dead... the leader..."
She stared at the screen with a dull look in her eyes, but her hands moved so fast that there were afterimages as she shuffled, drew, and arranged the cards skillfully.
"Blind people...divination...can't...impossible."
Divination is a specialization category, and it is always ranked second in the list of "specializations not recommended".
The first one is of course [Super Specialization]
The level of metaphysics of divination expertise is second only to salvation expertise. Practicing with all your might is no better than having a god pat your head in your sleep.
People in this industry pay a lot of attention to "magnetic field". Some people's magnetic field is particularly compatible with divination, and every prediction is accurate. Some people are blind and cannot see through the fog of the future.
Lin Li is a person with a strong magnetic field, which is why she can become the deputy leader of the five major camps.
The cards were arranged, but Lin Li's eyes were still fixed on the screen. His heavy vase-bottom glasses had slid to the tip of his nose. His head was motionless, but his hands were flipping the cards quickly.
A message scrolled across the barrage: “Qin Xishuang must die.”
"Liar... there is no magnetic field on the blind."
The card in the middle was turned over, and Lin Li lowered his head to take a look.
The glasses fell to the ground and broke into four pieces.
Lin Li's already pale complexion instantly turned into a dead white color, as if he had been soaked in the river for three days. His light brown eyes were filled with fear: "Major Arcana, Reversed Chariot, Three of Cups, Five of Pentacles... Tower."
"Death... a sign of death!"
She stood up with such force that she knocked over the table. She ran to the crystal altar in a panic, put her nose close to it, and stared at the package in the crystal ball with her eyes that hardly moved.
The cracks inside the crystal were colorful, and at one moment, a chilling blood-red flashed.
Lin Li screamed, pushed over the table, and the crystal ball shattered.
She felt as if struck by lightning, she stood there in a daze, shaking all over. After five minutes, she took out her cell phone tremblingly and sent a message to the group: I predicted the leader's death.
: Nonsense.
: Nonsense +1
: You also predicted that the leader would meet true love this month, and it’s already the end of the month.
This has always been the case within the Blue Camp. Most people do not trust Lin Li, the mysterious deputy leader.
After Lin Li sent the message, he threw his phone on the carpet, and opened Gao Mengtang's clearance video again, as if he had lost his soul. He sent a comment.
Secret in the Forest (Linli ID): I foresaw the death of the leader.
: Isn’t this the deputy leader of the Blue Camp? ?
: Damn, her ID card looks like she's a fortune teller!
: What is there to say? The blind can predict the future.
:@Why are you telling me the secret of the forest? We are still placing bets here!
: She has been abnormal for a long time. What kind of deputy leader would spread the news that the leader is going to die?
Lin Li turned a blind eye to all the slander, sat on the cushion, and said in a daze: "How could he know that the leader would die..."
"Magnetic field... a natural prophet... He is not blind, but has a pair of eyes that can see through the fog of the future..."
"I should get to know him." Lin Li muttered to himself nervously, looking up the contact information of the Moon Banner leader. "His magnetic field can help me see the future more accurately..."
When the video played to the last part, Bo Yao was so anxious that he almost cried: "Blind man, is what he said true? We will all die? What should we do?"
The blind man looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and the camera zoomed out. A violent thunderstorm enveloped the ruins of the old house, and in the vast mist, it seemed that everything would be washed away.
"What a solution..."
The video ends.
: Has the blind man thought of a way to break the deadlock?
: He is looking up at the sky. Is he reading the stars?
: It’s possible!
: Maybe it’s a rainy day and it’s broad daylight, where are the stars?
: The vision of a blind person can penetrate the atmosphere and reach the universe. Are you surprised?
*
The copy of the Cave of Sorrow.
Gao Mengtang's original words: "...There is nothing I can do"
Bo Yao was just a child after all, and he had completed less than 10 copies. He was so anxious that he started crying: "There is no other way! We won't die here, will we?"
Daydreaming is useless. Instead of standing here and waiting for disaster to come, it is better to take action first. When they walked out of the ruins of the old house, they saw a stone tablet in front of them.
The words on the stone tablet appear dynamically.
: You are about to enter the Forest of Steles maze.
: The game is considered successful if you escape from the maze. There is no time limit.
: The Stele Forest Labyrinth adopts a point system. Each time you destroy a stele, you will get 100 points. The higher the points, the richer the reward.
: The stone tablet in the maze will provide you with two or more choices. You can destroy the stone tablet only after making a choice.
: Please make the first choice. After the choice is made, the game officially begins.
[A: Sacrifice a stranger and obtain a permanent burial beetle]
[B: If you don’t sacrifice any outsiders, you won’t be able to obtain the permanent existence of the burial beetle]
[Note: In the Stele Forest Labyrinth, it is strictly forbidden for outsiders to harm each other. Those who violate this will be punished.]
System: "The branch dungeon [Stele Forest Maze] has been opened. Participating players: All."
The six of them looked at each other in confusion.
Outsiders, apparently referring to six players.
But what is the origin of the maze? Changming Village is right in front of us, and the roads are not complicated, so how can it become a maze?
Also, what is the function of burial beetles?
"Hey, who are you planning to sacrifice? Let me make it clear in advance that I don't have the mindset to sacrifice myself for others." Wolanbei wiped his sniper rifle.
"I sacrifice myself!" Qin Xishuang suddenly rushed out. The exaggerated makeup on his face had been washed away by the rain. He looked much pleasing to the eye, but still looked crazy.
Bo Yao tried his best to pull him back: "Chief, stop making trouble!" Without Qin Xishuang, who could help him get Xiao Canglan's ID card back?
Players confront each other, undercurrents surge, and tensions are high.
Wu Xiang stopped crying and kowtowing, and shouted to the six players in a stern voice: "As soon as you came to Changming Village, this happened. If you are not the jinx, then who is? Quickly choose someone to sacrifice!"
No one paid any attention to him. In the eyes of players, an NPC without combat power was like air.
The witch minister felt ignored and became even more angry. He raised his cane and was about to hit Xiao Canglan on the head, but he was knocked down instead. The scene became chaotic again, with foul language and fists and kicks.
"Everyone, be gentle!" Gao Mengtang raised his voice to suppress the noisy crowd, "Why don't we choose option B and not sacrifice anyone."
Xiuhong: "But what is this burial beetle?"
Gao Mengtang tucked her wet hair behind her ears and smiled brightly: "Yes, I don't know what a burial beetle is. The name sounds unlucky, what if it is something bad?"
It was almost impossible to push a Black Tower player out to sacrifice, and a fight would only cost him his status. So they both took a step back and chose option "B".
[Game officially launched]
[Enter the Forest of Steles Labyrinth from here]
A silver-white guiding arrow appeared, showing everyone the direction.
"Hurry up, hurry up, we have to escape from Changming Village as soon as possible." The Great Witch said, leaning on his crutches and moving quickly.
Gao Mengtang: "Old man, please draw a map first. This is a maze."
Wu Xiang didn't even turn his head. His back became smaller and smaller, and his voice became distant: "What kind of maze is this! I've lived here for 70 years, and I don't recognize the way to Changming Village!"
He left in such a hurry, obviously wanting to get rid of these ominous outsiders.
The other players didn't know the way and weren't as confident as Wu Xiang. They stood on the top of the hill, overlooking the village, and quickly drew a sketch before entering the maze.
"Go straight first, then turn left." Wei Wei wiped the rain off the map, "It's almost here. There should be a stone tablet."
Everyone looked up and saw no stone tablet, but Wu Feng and Xin Tong.
The two men were facing each other. Wu Feng looked like a demon after being disfigured. Xin Tong was so scared that her face turned pale and she kept crying, but she still held an umbrella for him.
"Why are you here?" Wei Wei asked.
Xin Tong sobbed and said, "I... I heard about Xiao Wu's situation and wanted to come and see him, but I didn't expect to be trapped in the village."
Gao Mengtang: "Trapped in the village?"
Xin Tong nodded with tears in her eyes: "There's something wrong with this village. No matter how hard I try, I can't get out. It seems like... it's... a ghost wall."
