Chapter 115 The Fifth Round Ends
But Lu Jiamu kept talking.
The servants waiting outside the flower sea were quiet for a moment, as if they had endured it again and again, and finally walked into the wasteland.
After a night of burning, a large part of the wasteland had been reduced to ashes. They could see each other directly.
But as soon as the servant entered the wasteland, he suddenly disappeared, and a moment later a sharp scream was heard from the distance.
It was teleported away, but the spatial chaos in the wasteland did not end because part of the grassland was burned or the abnormality here was discovered by the new owner's family.
They still couldn't go anywhere.
The four of them stood still, so as long as they didn't move, they wouldn't get lost. But if the monster wanted to come in from the outside, it had to walk.
Lu Jiamu laughed: "Ha."
There was untold contempt in it, as if mocking their vulnerability.
But the servants outside the wasteland ignored it, remained quiet, and waited.
Seeing that they were not moving, Lu Jiamu raised his hand and pointed at the sky: "It's getting light, the sun is coming out, isn't it time for you to go back, poor underground creatures?"
Several servants shook twice, but remained still.
Time passed little by little, but unfortunately, although the sky showed signs of getting brighter, it did not completely light up.
It's an exceptionally cloudy day today and the sun won't be out for a while.
The continuous flames had burned a large area of weeds. The four people standing in the middle of the circle saw Johnny suddenly teleported out from somewhere and landed on a piece of ground that had already stopped burning.
Although the fire that had been burning all night had made the area no longer cold, it was still a bit surprising that Johnny had survived by himself and had been running around without falling into the fire once.
Even though Coleman had created an isolation zone of several meters in advance, the smoke from the burning flames still made them covered in dust, coughing and lacking oxygen.
Johnny is in surprisingly good condition.
Johnny saw them looking at him, looked up and sneered.
Now that everyone has completely fallen out, there is no need to pretend to be friendly anymore. He said without disguising, "You have been here for so long, don't you know? Those who prevent their companions from interfering with the mission and help the rule book maintain the rules will be rewarded!"
Yes, the anomalies in this area were created by the rule book itself, and the rule book can of course decide where to jump to.
If they want you to die, they can let you jump directly to a place where you will die as long as you come in. If they want you to live, they can let you cross in the safe area all the time.
Lu Jiamu pinched his chin and suddenly said, "I have always been puzzled as to why you are chasing us... There are so many new people in the manor, and there are better choices, and there is no conflict between us, but you are chasing us. But I suddenly figured it out just now."
As if they knew that he would not say anything nice next, the servants standing outside opened their mouths and blurted out one word: "Childish!"
Lu Jiamu continued loudly, "It's because we saw your true appearance. You were replicating the castle on the ground underground, and manipulating your dolls on the ground. You hid there to conceal your deformities, but we still saw it. That's why you want us to die, right?"
All the servants opened their mouths and cried out at once: "Childish! Childish!"
Although they were saying that Lu Jiamu was childish, the maid climbed out from the window of the semi-basement again.
"Am I right? Hunter Vincent and Mary Vincent were inbred, and their deformities were strengthened from generation to generation, and eventually became what you are today. I sympathize with you, but it's useless to hide it blindly."
Mating? What a vulgar language!
These two Vincents were their ancestors. In the underground castle, they were mounted in the largest picture frame and hung at the highest point, giving people a sense of honor at a glance.
And as the saying goes, you are not a fish, humans think monsters are ugly only because they do not meet their own aesthetic standards. But maybe monsters think each other is beautiful.
What is considered deformed in the eyes of normal people may be pure blood and a symbol of honor in their eyes.
Any family with severe deformities, or even those that actively mutate their bloodlines to purify their deformities, will be affected to some extent.
Although Lu Jiamu's face was full of "I'm doing this for your own good", everyone knew that he was just relying on the fact that he was standing in a chaotic space to wantonly insult the monsters' family honor. Such words were far more terrifying than directly cursing someone's parents.
Coleman didn't understand why he took the initiative to provoke him, so he pulled him back.
A hoarse gasp came from the window of the semi-basement: "Hmm..."
That small piece of darkness was already filled with densely packed eyes, all staring out viciously.
One of the servants moved and walked straight into the wasteland.
This time it was not sent directly into the fire, but was sent to a distant location.
The servant collapsed to the ground.
This is the range limit!
When they encountered these puppets in the wasteland before, they were blocked by the grass and could not see each other clearly, and the whole space was chaotic. So they didn't know how far the puppets had gone.
But now I can see it clearly.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
Maybe he could have died later, but he had to die now.
The second servant entered, and this time was sent directly into the fire.
The third servant entered, and this time it neither entered the fire nor was sent too far away, but it kept jumping around in the area, and soon it became unclear where it was going.
After several servants came in one after another but failed to achieve their goal, the monsters finally stopped moving again and waited quietly.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, the fire in the wasteland was finally burning out.
Once again, servants entered, but they were still just jumping around randomly, visible to the naked eye, and every now and then they were sent too far away and lost control.
The monsters realized that as long as these four people stood still, it would be difficult for the puppet controllers to reach them.
The monsters had already crawled out from underground. Although the sky was covered with thick clouds, they could not block out all the sunlight.
The monsters quickly turned redder and softer, and squirmed on the ground as if they had melted.
It would be too costly to let them enter the wasteland area in their original form. If they got lost in the wasteland, they would die immediately once the cloud cover thinned.
But what Lu Jiamu had just said was too humiliating, and it undoubtedly deeply hurt this deformed and closed family. They wanted him to die immediately.
They require a perfect plan.
More monsters crowded out of the basement, and the group they had gathered together gradually dispersed, and a mud monster was sent out like the moon surrounded by stars.
The mud monster stared and took out an exquisite scepter from its body. The gem inlaid on the top was indeed red.
The slime monster's tentacles wrapped around the scepter and raised it high, then it muttered something incoherently and reverently.
It keeps repeating the same content, which seems to include words such as "reproduction", "value-added", "offspring", and "early birth".
After muttering for a long time, the mud monster raised his scepter high.
The gem on the top of the scepter flashed a red light, and the bright red flowers in the sea of flowers seemed to sense something and suddenly began to tremble, and the lower part of the flowers swelled up like a balloon.
At first the trembling was very slight, as if there was only a breeze.
Then a large number of flowers began to bounce, left and right, looking like a group of something twisting and struggling to try to break out of the eggs.
Those swollen flowers swelled to their maximum size and then burst with a "pop" sound, as if the amniotic fluid had broken.
A group of smaller mud monsters crawled out from it.
But they were obviously not born naturally. Perhaps because they were born prematurely, they looked even more deformed, some with only one eye, and some without any eyes at all.
The monster holding the scepter mumbled something loudly.
All the newly born little monsters turned their attention to the wasteland.
It seems that the cane is indeed the one with the unusual effect. I just didn't expect that its effect could actually induce childbirth.
The newly born little monster was probably ignorant and fearless, and crawled directly into the wasteland without any worries. As soon as it entered, it began to lose its way and was teleported to a different location.
But the following little monsters were huddled together and walked into the wasteland one by one.
The birthing process over there was still going on. Countless monsters were born at this moment, then entered the wasteland and began to move in chaos.
Lu Jiamu understood that this was a human wave tactic. As long as enough monsters were thrown in and kept crawling here, as long as the rule book was not 100% against them, as long as there was a real random factor here, there would always be monsters that successfully crawled to their area.
The whole area turned red as they spread out and crawled there, like woolen fabric.
Lu Jiamu looked at these "lines" carefully, trying to guess the rules of this chaotic space again. However, it seemed to be really chaotic and random.
Johnny was furious when he saw this scene. He questioned Lu Jiamu, "Why did you provoke them for no reason? We were doing fine in here, and they didn't dare to run around here!"
"Then why did you yell like that last night?" Lu Jiamu said with a fake smile, "Isn't this the scene you wanted to see? And you guessed right, we will be picked up today."
But you may have to stay here.
Johnny held his breath. A small monster without eyeballs randomly appeared in the area where he was standing, stretched out its tentacles with bared teeth and claws, grabbed his ankle, and began to twist it tightly, constantly secreting mucus.
Johnny screamed in pain, but he reacted quickly and used a lighter to burn the monster before it continued to climb up.
The monster was afraid of fire and retreated directly.
A large area of skin on Johnny's leg had turned red and ulcerated. It didn't look like it was twisted, but more like it was burned.
Johnny started running, but he was teleported away again after only a few steps. He didn't know where he went or whether he was dead or alive.
It seems that there is a difference between the larvae and adults of the monster. The adult monster secretes a tough preservative film, while the larvae secrete digestive fluid.
Once there are too many of these little monsters gathering and crawling all over people, people will be corroded by them, making the situation very tricky.
It was already past noon, and the frequency of the little monsters wriggling through their circle was increasing. Although Coleman would throw the monsters away every time she saw them, she was gradually becoming overwhelmed.
Occasionally, one or two monsters would take advantage of the opportunity and crawl onto Yu Leng and Wei Xiaoyan, causing large areas of skin ulcers.
Being overwhelmed by these monsters and being corroded and devoured seems to be their fate.
A malicious smile slowly appeared on the faces of the maid and the adult monster guarding outside.
Anyone who insults the honor of the Vincent family must die.
Suddenly, the text prompts seemed to be stimulated by something and began to appear abnormally frequently, with several of them even overlapping.
The world rule book once again focused more of its attention on them, constantly writing new rules and restrictions around them. Some of them could be understood and some could not, but when they overlapped with each other, there was only chaos left, which looked like some extremely messy pattern.
But a "creaky" sound of a door opening was still heard in the space.
Lu Jiamu looked up at the monsters and imitated them by showing a malicious smile.
In the four people's vision, in the wasteland area, on the ground covered by layers of bright red monsters, they could see a door that appeared out of thin air in the distance, opening a small gap towards them. Inside the door was an endless bright light.
The eight days they had to survive in this world had come to an end, and the Wheel of Time was about to come and take them away from here.
The text prompts continued to overlap with unknown rules, and the entire space became more distorted, as if many invisible shackles were entangled in the void, tying everyone firmly in place at various levels.
It is the world's rule book that prevents outsiders from leaving.
The monsters stopped laughing. They didn't know what was happening, but they felt that something had changed.
The little monsters that were originally stacked up and crawling forward stopped all movements, hugged each other, opened their little eyes, and looked straight at the situation here.
The clear light behind the Wheel of Time and Space door became even brighter, and something seemed to be swung out from the door, causing the air flow to surge gently.
It was as if something huge was breathing slowly at that door, inhaling and exhaling, becoming more and more obvious.
The shackles of rules created by the rule book in this area collapsed in an instant.
The little monsters lying on the ground noticed that the lost buff suddenly disappeared, and they became agitated and squirmed chaotically without direction on the ground.
Some wanted to crawl out of the wasteland and return to the sea of flowers, while others went deeper into the wasteland, heading towards the direction of the four people who were still standing there.
For a moment, the little monsters trampled and collided with each other, and chaos broke out.
Lu Jiamu also moved, but not in the direction of the Wheel of Time and Space.
He stepped on the little monsters on the ground and ran straight towards the castle.
The other three people had originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that the lost buff was broken and immediately walk towards the door and leave this world.
Suddenly seeing Lu Jiamu still running back, Kou Man immediately asked loudly: "What are you doing?"
She hesitated for a moment, worried that if she ran back she would be entangled by the group of mud monsters and unable to escape, so she hesitated and did not go over.
Seeing the human running towards it, the slime monster holding the scepter immediately retracted its tentacles, swallowed the scepter into its stomach, and then tried to retreat into the protection of the other slime monsters.
But Lu Jiamu's hand had already penetrated its slimy body and grabbed the scepter that it had just swallowed.
The mud monster did not spit out the scepter, but held on to it tightly, and Lu Jiamu did not let go either. The man and the monster were entangled with each other for a while, and it was difficult to separate them.
As if it realized that Lu Jiamu had grasped the scepter tightly, the light gate that had originally opened a crack to them suddenly opened wide, changing its previous breathing rhythm, as if the huge thing inside took a deep breath.
The three people standing closest to the light gate were sucked in directly.
Lu Jiamu also felt the suction coming from the light gate, and because he held the scepter tightly, the mud monster was also pulled by the force.
When the other mud monsters saw this scene, they used their tentacles to pull it one by one, trying to fix it in place under this huge force.
But their ability to stick to the ground is ultimately limited.
Lu Jiamu slowly revealed a malicious smile like the maids: "Monster."
He was sucked up along with a long list of monsters and rushed towards the Wheel of Time and Space in the wasteland.
Lu Jiamu disappeared in the light gate in an instant, but the monsters seemed to have encountered a transparent wall out of nowhere and were left behind.
The light gate closed and everything returned to normal, but the four people were gone.
The slimy belly of the sludge monster was torn open and was slowly healing. It collapsed on the ground, anxiously searching around, crawling around looking for the scepter that had disappeared from its belly.
But no, nothing.
The mud was so angry that its tentacles began to tremble wildly, showing their fangs and claws.
All the monsters began to wriggle angrily, creating a turbulent situation.
Johnny, who was hiding in the corner, suddenly saw a long string of text prompts: [You stole the most important treasure of the Vincent family, but it cannot be kept as a souvenir of your adventure. Because it is lost.
Johnny is free to leave, but his four companions have suddenly vanished, perhaps dead. Johnny feels alone.
But Johnny still thinks today's adventure is not enough, so he decides to go online to recruit new partners.]
Johnny breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he could leave, and while the group of monsters were still in chaos, he immediately ran out of the manor.
He didn't care what happened to the others or how they left, because the disappearance and death of his companions were common and it didn't matter. What mattered was that he could continue to live here.
Maybe he can have a longer break this time while recruiting teammates.
In the castle, the new owner and his family looked at this incredible scene and the waves of flesh in the wasteland in disbelief. They even suspected that they were hallucinating due to lack of oxygen.
Everything had been so strange since the grass caught fire. Their servants rushed into the grass one by one, but suddenly appeared somewhere else, jumping back and forth.
There were also many strangers crawling out from the basement of their manor, many strange pulpy monsters...
At this time, everyone received a text prompt: [The sun is about to rise, and all Vincents have to return to their castles]
[The Vincents rely on their underground castle. Although they came out today, it was all just an impulse. They still cannot leave the Vincent Castle. All Vincents who crossed the border died.]
The monsters that were surging angrily on the ground suddenly became quiet.
The little monsters that had been wandering around in the wasteland screamed, and then suddenly began to wither, leaving only a thin layer of skin.
The text prompts are still constantly issuing guidelines, and they are self-verifying as they are issued.
The surviving mud monsters quietly and hurriedly crawled towards the castle, and soon no one knew where they were going.
Before the family could react, a cell phone suddenly rang on the table. It was the phone that the middleman, Mr. John, had left behind. There was a message.
The man told his wife and daughter not to be afraid and walked over to pick up the phone.
The message came from David. The host thought about it and then remembered that this seemed to be the name of another agent.
[We wanted you to find out later.]
[After all, not knowing anything is more conducive to our cooperation and can also allow you to live longer. After all, the less you know, the less burden you have]
The man was confused: What does this mean? Why would Mr. David send such a message to Mr. John?
[It's a pity that you have already seen it. But the contract between us still exists, and our contract is very binding. You must abide by it.]
Before the male host had much time to think, the female host's cell phone rang.
She took it out and took a look, and found that many people had sent her messages at the same time.
They were the distant relatives they had just hired, and the middle-aged man who had been missing for a day.
They just sent the same message:
[You must comply]
[You must comply]
[You must comply]
[Abide by our agreement, otherwise you will have to compensate with yourselves]
[But Fang Xin, we won't hurt you. We want to coexist peacefully with you. As long as you abide by the agreement, we will even protect you]
[Looking forward to our cohabitation life]
All the hired people had died in front of them. Except for the middle-aged couple, everyone else had just run into the fire and burned to death.
Who are they now? Who is sending the message?
After seeing these contents, the male host took Mr. John's mobile phone and showed it to her with a serious expression.
The new owner and his family felt fear from the bottom of their hearts, as if something horrible and evil had already infiltrated everything they were familiar with and was replacing their family and friends.
The permanent population is 10 people, and 100 people are invited to the banquet every year, otherwise it will be considered a breach of contract.
Now all the servants have disappeared, and only their family of four is left in the manor.
If we really want to invite so many people every year, how can we do it?
In the municipal square, the dice suspended in the air are still spinning day and night.
On the illusory parchment book on the fountain, incomprehensible patterns and lines were still being written quickly. Those were words that did not belong to this world, and the limited lines contained a huge amount of information.
The overlapping message above reads: [xxx Adventure with an unknown ending
xxxAn adventure with an unknown ending...]
***
This time, the few people did not walk into the Wheel of Time and Space by themselves, but were sucked in by the huge suction force, which caused them to fall directly into the inside of the Wheel of Time and Space.
After landing, the three people immediately got up nervously and looked towards Gate No. 6 of the circular plaza again.
Fortunately, a moment later, Lu Jiamu was also thrown in with a cane and fell to the ground.
The ruby on the top of the cane had already begun to fall apart the moment it entered the Wheel of Time and Space, and eventually turned into a large pool of black star sand beside him.
The diary had seen this scene, or perhaps it had anticipated it, and immediately took advantage of Lu Jiamu's fall, opening and closing the pages, standing up, greedily rushing out of his pocket, crawling towards Xingsha. The pages licked the ground.
The other three people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he had returned safely.
Lu Jiamu stood up, patted his clothes, bent down, took out the diary and put it back in his pocket, then filled the star sand into a bottle.
Although he had spent eight days in the Gate No. 6 world, he still hadn't forgotten what they were doing before entering this world.
They were stuffing star sand into Yu Leng's mouth at that time.
The four of them simply exchanged greetings and nothing more was said. After Wang Biao left, no one took the lead, and the four of them no longer had the habit of summarizing and communicating.
Yu Leng had just laid down on the sofa in the center of the circular plaza when Lu Jiamu came over with a bottle.
He grinned after seeing it: "Are you in such a hurry? Can you at least let me rest for a while?"
Lu Jiamu nodded, indicating that he was that anxious.
The diary in his pocket opened and closed several times. Without even looking at it, he knew that the diary was complaining about this person's lack of ambition.
He waved his hand to signal Kou Man to hold Yu Leng down.
Yu Leng muttered to himself and tried to stand up, but because he was too weak, he was subdued in an instant.
Kouman held Yu Leng down, and Lu Jiamu pried open his mouth and stuffed star sand into it.
After Yu Leng's previous experience, his reaction was much milder. He didn't foam at the mouth or fall to the ground, but his whole body was shaking.
Seeing that he was in good condition, Lu Jiamu started stuffing star sand into his stomach again after a while.
After cramming like this for several times, Yu Leng was completely exhausted, so the two men let him go and sat back on the sofa.
Yu Leng lost his support and collapsed on the sofa, his eyes blank as if he had lost his intelligence.
His eyes looked aimlessly up into the distance. As he looked, besides the blinding light and something that looked like the hills and valleys of a brain, he seemed to see something new.
They were gently floating bands of light, like the dreamy tentacles of a jellyfish, hanging down from an unknown height.
No, not seeing, but feeling it now that his new senses were heightened.
“It’s really beautiful…”
Yu Leng muttered in a trance, and felt that he had stretched out his hand. But in fact, he had already lost all strength, and his hand was not raised at all. It was an illusion.
But he felt that he "reached out" and actually touched the tentacles directly.
Then, he saw countless illusory eyes opened above them, "looking" coldly at the people in the circular square.
Before Yu Leng had time to be surprised or scared, he felt as if endless information was trying to squeeze into his brain in an instant.
It's like someone trying to drag several gigabytes of files into a few megabytes of USB drive.
Yu Leng's wandering thoughts were suddenly shaken back to the ground.
At that moment, he lost all his senses and couldn't even tell whether he was still alive.
Then came a huge pain, as if a truck had repeatedly run over his head. Yu Leng rolled to the ground and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
His mind was filled with buzzing sounds, he could not hear any sound, his eyes were dark, he could not move, he was like a paralyzed patient trapped in his own brain, thinking over and over again: ... What is that? What is that?
