Chapter 250 Elevator (3) King of Clowns
Shang Yin finished the art appreciation early and went to work with a cold face. Gao Mengtang was still obsessed with the sculpture of Xian Wang Shiyi, wiping his glasses over and over again with his sleeve.
"Is there something wrong with this sculpture?" Bai Jie asked.
Gao Mengtang: "Xiaobai, you have come into contact with many believers of ancient gods. What do the sculptures you worship usually look like?"
"Uh, mysterious, scary, and full of oppression?" Bai Jie recalled with great effort, "The temperament of this sculpture is indeed unique."
Gao Mengtang nodded: "That's right. This is very wrong."
This is a museum, and all the exhibits are from the other world, and this sculpture is no exception. The virtuous king is highly respected, and the statue of the virtuous king should show his noble and majestic side.
Sculpting a dead king was a crime that was highly unacceptable to the world. Moreover, the eleventh wise king had a tyrannical side to his character, and those who served him had to gouge out their own eyes.
For such a cruel person, they made a statue of him with his body crookedly lying on the throne? How many lives did the sculptor have to dare to do such a thing?
Unless...Wise King Eleven himself instructed that He want such a sculpture.
Then the question arises again, why did the Eleventh Wise King want a sculpture of his own corpse?
The description of the exhibit is brief: Sculpture of the Eleventh Wise King (authentic).
Just these eight words, that’s all.
Gao Mengtang couldn't think of a reasonable explanation for the time being, so he continued to read the descriptions of other exhibits. When he turned around, he saw more than 20 players standing in a row behind him, staring at him with unfriendly faces.
Oh, do you want to know how to "find the rabbit"? Gao Mengtang found an exhibit, ignored the eyes of others, and read the explanation.
【Crown of the Wise King XI (genuine)】
"The crown of the wise king was passed down from generation to generation. The first wise king, the tenth wise king, and the twelfth wise king all used the same crown when they ascended the throne [Picture]"
: The Supreme Order admires the Eleventh Wise King the most. "
: As the "purest" and "immaculate" lives, the external environment will pollute their souls. From birth to death, the Wise Kings will leave the Black Tower for life.
: With such a fate, it is difficult to cultivate a healthy soul. The wise king will hate the Supreme Order and even rebel against it. Because the Supreme Order created them and made them prisoners for life.
: Therefore, the wise kings will inevitably go mad and die. They will gradually lose their sanity and their lifespan will not exceed 300 years.
: And the eleventh wise king reigned for 526 years. He never disobeyed the Supreme Order and performed well in all aspects. In the 500th year of his reign, the Supreme Order bestowed a crown that must belong exclusively to the eleventh wise king. "
: The Eleventh Wise King not only reigned the longest, but also made the greatest contribution. The Secret of the Moon compiled by him is known as the encyclopedia of magic in the inner world. He sent his subordinates to visit the outer world many times to explore more secrets of the world.
“…”
The long list in the middle was all the achievements of the Eleventh Wise King, covering all aspects. Gao Mengtang glanced at it and started to read the end.
: The greatest contribution of the Eleventh Wise King is the Twelfth Wise King. He personally carved the soul of the Twelfth Wise King, creating a person who is infinitely close to "perfection" in all aspects. This is also the true Wise King that the Supreme Order has always wanted to find. "
：However, what happened later showed that the 12th wise king was not perfect. He was arrogant, cruel, and evil.
"Slander! Slander!" Gao Mengtang shouted angrily, "How can I be so bad!"
The parrots in the forest also shouted: "Slander! Slander!"
: The twelfth wise king eventually became the destroyer of the world. According to later research, the eleventh wise king was not as obedient to the Supreme Order as recorded in the "Monthly Calendar".
: The resistance of the Eleventh Wise King was hidden. He knew very well that he could not destroy the Supreme Order with his own strength, so he deliberately planted the root of "arrogance" in the soul of the Twelfth Wise King, allowing this disaster to eventually destroy the entire world.
: But this is just a guess.
: In any case, Wise King Twelve is a sinner in the underworld, while Wise King Eleven brings a peaceful, harmonious, and dreamlike era to the underworld.
Gao Mengtang laughed out of anger. Either both of them should praise each other together, or they should slap each other. How could it be considered such an obvious devaluation of the twelfth virtuous king?
The last paragraph is: The same glorious era will appear again. The half-dead will select the truly "perfect" wise king fourteen and crown him with his life. At that time, the world will understand that the moment the half-dead came, love changed the world.
The players surrounded Gao Mengtang in three layers inside and three layers outside, staring at him with gloomy eyes, wanting to see how Gao Mengtang would get points.
When he read the last sentence, Gao Mengtang covered his mouth and pretended to cough, then read it out quickly.
Ding-dong, ding-dong. A familiar sound rang out, the wall painting appeared, and the crowd was in an uproar.
Gao Mengtang took a photo in front of everyone, got 20 points, and left leisurely. Others surrounded the crown of the Eleventh King and looked at it over and over again.
Some people covered their mouths and coughed, but the rabbit did not appear again.
"Hmph, you guys want to go then." Gao Mengtang thought to himself.
But he underestimated the players' desire to attack.
One hand pressed on the back of Gao Mengtang's neck, and the furry face came close to his ear. He opened his mouth and sprayed the smelly, warm breath of the beast on Gao Mengtang's face. He asked in the language of the other world:
"What did you just do, and why did that rabbit appear?"
Turning his head, he saw the half-beast fox man, with his slender eyes raised, staring at Gao Mengtang grimly. This was an Apulen.
"Guess what." Gao Mengtang said
The hand pressing on the neck gradually exerted more force, and the spine made a cracking sound.
"I'm not in the mood for riddles."
Gao Mengtang tried to pry his hands apart, but found that he was terribly strong. He calmed down instead: "I'm not in the mood for guessing, so just kill me. See if my corpse can speak."
Group B members are prohibited from killing each other. Violators will have their points cleared and will be expelled from the competition.
"It is forbidden to kill each other, but it is not forbidden to torture or abuse each other." The fox man said, "Do you want to try my claws or my teeth?"
The playing cards flew towards the fox man's eyes, but he was incredibly fast and dodged them with a swish.
Shang Yin maintained the posture of throwing cards and said coldly: "Beast, get out of here."
Seeing this, the other Apurun people gathered around silently. Their eyes were as ferocious as hunters, which was chilling.
"It's not wise to anger them," a little boy from the merchant said in a low voice, "We really can't beat them."
The fight between the Apurun people and the Black Tower players was like a fight between a beast and a human. Civilization had worn down the claws and teeth of humans, reducing their speed, strength, and endurance. If they fought head-on, even the strongest players in the Black Tower would not necessarily have the upper hand.
The brown bear grabbed Shang Yin by the collar and punched him in the face without saying a word. Shang Yin groaned, spat out a broken tooth, and covered his bleeding nose. The punch made him dizzy and he couldn't even stand.
"In our eyes, the white people are nothing but white maggots." The fox man's sharp claws brushed Gao Mengtang's cheek. "Now, can you speak?"
The brown bear man was about to throw a second punch, and Gao Mengtang quickly said, "Epiphany!"
The fist stopped in mid-air, and the fox man narrowed his eyes: "Speak clearly."
"It's an epiphany," Gao Mengtang lied calmly, "Staring at the collections in the other world, trying to establish a connection with your mind. It's like meditating or gaining enlightenment. At a certain moment, you will have an epiphany, and the rabbit will appear!"
The Apurun people are not very smart. Upon hearing this, some of the Apurun people ran to the collection, stared at the things in the display case, and began to have an epiphany.
"Really?" The fox man was quite clever.
Gao Mengtang nodded: "Of course, but this process is very dangerous. After the epiphany, the mind communicates with the inner world, which will consume a lot of mental energy and make you weak."
The lie became smoother and smoother. Gao Mengtang pushed his white-framed rabbit-ear glasses and said, "Look, I'm so weak that I'm going blind again. Otherwise, why would I wear glasses? It can't be for beauty."
If Gao Mengtang didn’t tell other players about this debuff, [The Only Death], other players wouldn’t know about it either.
The fox opened his long mouth and smiled: "You are smart."
You are not very smart.
There were several players standing next to each exhibit, staring at the things behind the glass with their sharp eyes. Gao Mengtang couldn't help but want to laugh.
"You must concentrate and not be distracted." Gao Mengtang said, "My comprehension is relatively high. After all, my spiritual value is 999. I don't know how long it will take for you to have an epiphany. Come on!"
The fox man shouted, "Shut up and don't bother me!"
Just shut up.
Gao Mengtang quickly ran to the other exhibits and checked every description. It was only a matter of time before they discovered the pattern of the rabbits. They had to find more rabbits before them.
For a moment, the exhibition hall of Xian Wang 11 was silent, with only the clicking sounds of the shutters of Gao Mengtang and others.
The points increased by +10 +10 +10 +10. There were many exhibits and trigger points in the 11th Exhibition Hall of the Wise King. After a while, Gao Mengtang, Shang Yin and 14 other people found 15 rabbits, with a total of 150 points, which were all deposited into Group A's account.
"You can fool them, but you can't fool me." The glass of the exhibit reflected the shadow of the player. Behind Gao Mengtang, a pale man appeared silently. "I have been observing you for a long time. Only by reading the sentence 'At this moment when the half-dead descended, love changed the world' can you find the rabbit, hehe."
The pale-faced man took a photo of the rabbit he found and said, "I am looking forward to what will happen if I tell the people of Apurun about this."
Shang Yin said in a deep voice: "Zhongli Chen, think it through. The trigger points are limited. The fewer people who know about it, the better."
“There are only a limited number of places for sacrifices,” Zhong Lichen’s tone gradually became weird and sharper, “I’ll be happy if I can bring bad luck to the pretty boys and gamblers, hahahahahahahaha.”
Zhong Lichen laughed wildly, and his pale face turned into a red-nosed, white-faced clown. He flipped over and jumped onto the thin steel wire above the exhibition hall, where the scroll was hung, leaving a trick box in its place.
He was a grown man, but he could stand on that thin wire without letting it bend. He could even jump around lightly like an acrobat.
"It's annoying. Why is Zhongli Chen in Group B instead of Group A to slaughter other players?" Shang Yin cursed.
Zhongli Chen's ID card: [525 King of Clowns]
Personal Skills [Ridiculous Doll]
Skill Description: A clown that exists to make others laugh, a funny and pathetic doll.
: [525 Clown King] can make his body as light as a doll. In addition, the Clown King has extremely fast movement speed and excellent flexibility. It can also set up a variety of trick boxes.
: [525 Clown King] After death, the body will turn into building blocks and will be resurrected after being reassembled.
With a bang, the box exploded and the clown jumped out, screaming: "Gao Mengtang lied to you! Gao Mengtang lied to you! The way to find the rabbit is actually... Gao Mengtang lied to you!"
The player, who had been "enlightened" for 10 minutes without any results, suddenly came to his senses and walked towards Gao Mengtang and Shang Yin angrily.
Gao Mengtang was startled: "Run, run!"
They rushed over and pressed the elevator button, while Zhong Lichen walked over on a balloon: "The liar can't run away! The liar can't run away!" He threw down a prank box, and smoke quickly spread with the explosion. A [Chaos] status was added to the player's status bar, which lasted for 5 seconds.
Gao Mengtang wanted to move forward, but his body was moving backwards and he bumped directly into the brown bear man's arms.
The golden shield separated the brown bear man and Gao Mengtang. He Lun's red cloak brushed Gao Mengtang's face: "Move your dirty claws away!"
With a bang, the brown bear smashed a big hole in Helun's shield. This muffled sound was also the impact horn of the battle between the two sides. Shang Yin and others threw out hundreds of cards, and explosions sounded one after another.
Gao Mengtang pulled them and wanted to leave the chaotic battlefield, and ran to the elevator door again. Through the retractable fence door of the elevator, he saw Zhong Lichen's neurotic smile.
"Goodbye, liar." He waved and the elevator went down.
"Don't fight them. Zhong Lichen just wants to use them to delay us and give himself time to find the rabbit." Gao Mengtang said quickly, "Quick, take the elevator downstairs!"
Before he could finish his words, there was a rumbling sound from the roof and the whole museum was shaking.
Earthquake?
"Is this also a skill of the clown?" Song Zhong shrank into the corner in fear.
The rumbling sound that came without any warning actually quieted the crowd. Shang Yin looked at the ceiling and shook his head: "The King of Clowns is difficult to deal with, but he doesn't have such strong destructive power."
The ceiling gradually disintegrated, and a piece of it fell down, revealing a dark starry sky. The players looked at this scene in amazement, and even forgot to take the elevator downstairs.
After a while, a familiar voice brought Gao Mengtang back to his senses.
"Mr. Blind?"
Gao Mengtang turned around in surprise and saw Wei Wei standing at the end of the corridor.
