Chapter 574: Crazy Fire, You Have It, I Have It All
【Sick Village】
A name that strikes fear into the hearts of the undead.
This word will trigger a special attack on Dark Souls players, because that dark map simply embodies the deepest malice of the game maker, and it is disgusting everywhere.
So much so that the word "sick village" has gone beyond its general meaning and is more like an interpretation of the word "malicious map"!
Fortunately, Gong Qiying's Sen Dungeon has not yet expanded its business to the Soul One map, and the majority of adventurers have not yet been able to appreciate the beauty of the sick village.
But if you are one of the earliest adventurers in the Sen Dungeon, you can also experience a map designed after the sick village in the upper level of the Sen Dungeon, which was then divided into upper, middle and lower levels.
It was then that it was really disgusting and difficult to survive. The design of the traps in the underworld and the feces and toxins everywhere made it hard to guard against, and everyone who passed through it would vomit violently.
Take Stellan for example. She was fortunate enough to experience those earliest things and enjoyed a lot of blessings.
However, the new area of the Elden Circle in the current Thayne dungeon, the "Sick Village", is different from the one in Dark Souls 1. To put it simply, only the name is the same, but the interior is completely different.
If the Hunyi Sick Village is a malicious collective, then the Fahuan Sick Village is really just a small village where a group of sick people gather.
No one would like to see the place where they live transformed into a dark underworld filled with poisonous water, dirt and darkness, right?
Therefore, the Sick Village in the Circle of Death even looks a bit peaceful during the day, not eerie or scary at all. It is just like a small village that can be seen everywhere in the outside world. It feels like the kind that can be completely destroyed by a wave of monsters, and the threat level is very low.
However, the above impression is based on the premise that "no one knows what disease the patients in the village have."
If people knew what disease these villagers had, they would probably scream and scratch their heads and run away.
Because the symptoms of the villagers' infection are called——
Crazy fire!
The jumping and burning yellow "tears" in the eyes are proof of infection!
A large number of villagers infected with epilepsy gathered in the village.
They are the lowest level of Mad Fire Infected, so naturally they don't have much imposing presence, and any adventurer passing by can see them.
But because of this, they [epilepsy patients] are the most widespread source of infection.
In terms of communication media, Dianhuo is quite friendly to the people.
"What's this?"
"what the hell?"
"This guy is as skinny as my grandfather."
Almost half of the onlookers in the city looked at the large projection magic screen covering the sky and asked all kinds of questions.
However, when Luluwo pressed an epileptic patient whose eye sockets were completely filled with yellow flames in front of the camera, the yellow light entered everyone's eyes.
All the sounds disappeared at this moment.
Under the magnifying effect of the projection magic, the epileptic patient's eyes were like two yellow suns, hanging quietly in the sky and burning without blinking. This was mainly due to Tammy holding the other's eyelids tightly.
Whether it was the people on the stage or the people gathered on the ground, everyone was staring at the projected image.
Everyone's expression was different, some were curious, some were puzzled, and some were disgusted. All kinds of life were displayed vividly at this moment.
However, after staring into those eyes that were consumed by insanity for more than a few seconds, these varied emotions began to change.
"Clang!" The wine glass in Lan Le's hand fell to the ground, and he stood up subconsciously.
Except for him, everyone else's expressions gradually became distorted and hideous.
“Wow—”
The shrill cries of children pierced the sky, as if listening to a series of horror stories about the big monkey, the old lady with a cat face, Zhang Liao, etc. at the same time. The darkest fear in the heart suddenly broke out at this moment!
The children with the weakest ability to withstand the tears were the first to cry out, and along with this cry, the adults' mental defenses were also destroyed in an instant like a dam broken by the Yellow River, and they didn't even have time to make a sound!
"ah!"
Finally, an adult uttered the first howl of pain, and the owner of this voice was far away from the ground, on the big stage.
It was Edgar!
His expression was extremely ferocious, and he was crouching on the ground like a kneeling tiger. His body was shaking violently as if he was enduring intense pain, and his fists were unconsciously hitting the ground with great force, and he finally let out a scream that was neither human nor animal.
If the children's screams were because they saw something ugly and scary, then Edgar's screams were like he actually felt the pain, the extreme pain that his whole body could not bear.
It was as if he was recalling some unpleasant memories, and they were related to epilepsy. But he had never come into contact with epilepsy before?
The clear sky seemed to change along with his screams, but no one paid attention at the moment. Except for Edgar who was the first to scream, the symptoms of others also became more severe!
“Hmm!”
Lanler groaned, feeling as if his head was hit hard by a sledgehammer. The aftermath of the hammer quickly spread throughout his body, making him feel dizzy. He stepped back repeatedly and finally fell back into his seat.
The necklace with unique texture on his neck and a number of magical equipment that looked like accessories but were actually life-saving props emitted a bright green light that enveloped him and continuously provided healing to his spirit. He seemed to still have some independent consciousness and quickly closed his eyes and stopped looking at the projection.
Others were not as lucky as him to have a large number of magic props for self-defense. The influence brought by the epileptic patient erupted at this moment.
"Ahhhh!" The performers on the stage covered their eyes and screamed. Those who could not withstand it anymore fell to their knees with a thud, while those who could withstand it more felt dizzy and their spirits suffered a huge shock, their brains were occupied by chaotic thoughts for a while.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey?"
"Gah, go to hell!"
Some people laughed for no apparent reason, some were filled with anger for no apparent reason, and some were crying due to pessimism. The scene was a riot of life.
But whether it is crying, laughing or getting angry, it is something that only adventurers with a certain level of strength and power can experience.
Among the crowd watching nearby, more than 90% were ordinary people. Considering the pitiful mental strength of ordinary people that was not even enough to be packaged and sent to the Sean Dungeon, their reactions after making eye contact with the epileptic patient were surprisingly consistent.
“Ahhh——”
It seemed as if ten thousand Tom cats were beaten up by Jerry mouse at the same time. The exaggerated and funny screams of pain echoed throughout the city in an instant!
When the eyes of the epileptic man appeared above Black Rock City, half of the city was suddenly plunged into a sea of "joy"!
The loud noise here naturally could not be ignored by other residents, so the normal people who had been staying out of the matter followed the sound and looked over, then looked up at the projection in the sky.
“Ahhh——”
Soon, this ordeal turned into a major public event that engulfed the entire city!
Anyone who looks up at the sky will not be spared, the disaster spreads at a devilish speed!
"What happened? What's in the sky? Ouch—"
"What are you yelling about? Aww—"
"What's wrong with everyone, you guys——"
Chaos and disorder are raging.
I'm afraid this will be a major event worth recording in the history of Black Rock City!
Standing among a group of people who were doing all kinds of strange things due to mental pain, Gong Qiying sighed as if nothing had happened.
He looked around, thought again and again, and finally slowly found a corner and squatted down.
Well, this way I will seem less conspicuous.
"What a pity that so much mental energy is wasted."
Epilepsy fire is a terrifying thing that resides in people's eyes. Its external manifestation is yellow flames, but its transmission method is similar to that of infectious diseases.
Contact with an epileptic patient can cause a healthy person to be infected, but this "contact" also has different degrees.
Just like shaking hands with an AIDS patient normally will not cause you to be infected, normal contact with an epilepsy patient is most likely fine and will not cause normal people to be infected.
Looking directly at a powerful maniac fire can lead to mental pollution and infection, such as a maniac fire lighthouse.
After being caught by an epilepsy infected person, a superficial eye contact with the epilepsy can also cause infection.
If the staff of the Forbidden Old Man pierces your body, you will be infected like Midra, the Lord of Madness and Fire.
It can be said that one of the most important ways of transmission of epilepsy is "direct contact".
So, will looking directly into the eyes of an epileptic patient like we are doing now cause infection?
As long as Gong Qiying doesn't want to destroy the world, the answer is definitely "no".
What's more, the probability of an ordinary person contracting epilepsy by looking at a person with epilepsy is extremely low. Even if it is as strong as the old man who is forbidden to touch, a normal person will not be infected if he just looks at it without touching it.
Moreover, the epilepsy fire in the epilepsy patients was originally very weak, and was further weakened by the shadow transmission. Want to rely on direct vision to be infected with epilepsy fire? At least you have to see the stronger epilepsy fire directly like the demon priests in the Great Demon City.
However, this also shows one thing from the side -
It seems feasible to spread the epidemic through live broadcast.
But if Gong Qiying doesn't add anything to the epileptic patient, then the epileptic patient will not be too dangerous to the adventurers. If you look into his eyes, it will only cause a certain degree of shock to your spirit.
Just like the performers just now, their minds went crazy for a moment, their emotions were abnormal, and then a large amount of mental power exploded. That was almost the entire impact.
However, there were not only adventurers watching the show in Blackrock City, but more ordinary people.
This results in the "moderate" mental shock for adventurers being fed back to ordinary people and becoming an unbearable burden on life.
Even if the eyes of epileptic patients are further distorted by the image transmission, weakening the mental impact, it still causes considerable mental pressure on ordinary people!
Hiss, how horrible! Dianhuo is indeed a dirty thing!
Just when Gong Qiying was thinking about whether he should quietly go over and turn off the live broadcast to do a good deed, Lan Le had already taken action.
Lan Le walked towards the live broadcast equipment with a serious face, his eyes tightly closed and he absolutely did not look at the projection. Even so, he still felt a strong mental pressure.
He couldn't describe his current mood. Anger, irritation and other emotions surged up at once. He just wanted to lock up the big guy Luluwo had done and then see whether to sentence this group of people to life imprisonment or exile them directly.
Even if Luluwo and his group of geniuses didn't do it on purpose, we can't let them stay in the Warrior Kingdom!
Lanler's emotions haven't been so intense in a long time. He's probably going to remember Luluwo for the rest of his life.
"This is it, I remember the switch is here."
While His Royal Highness was groping, Luluwo's voice was heard again through the projection, and it sounded as if she was standing in the distance and chatting with someone else.
"Are you sure you can laugh after looking into the eyes of this thing, Aisi, Em?"
"Yeah! It's so comfortable after looking into each other's eyes. That feeling really makes me want to laugh~"
"I always feel that the words of you two masochists are not credible. Forget it, let's just leave it at that. It's been so long now, and the people outside should have seen it, right?"
Luluwo's tone revealed a happy mood as she said:
"Do you think the prince will give us any extra rewards after he smiles? Although we are not short of money now, I am still very interested in the treasure of the Warrior Kingdom."
"Maybe he'll give us a peerless sword from an ancient warrior?" Tammy's voice was full of anticipation.
"It would be enough if you could give me a pair of enchanted glasses." Berto said quite contentedly.
It sounds like these guys in the Skyrim Raiders group think they are doing something quite interesting, and are looking forward to receiving a warm welcome from people when they return to Blackrock City. It would be best if on the way back to the city there were a hundred handsome men and beautiful women shouting thank you for your hard work while offering them all kinds of good things.
After hearing this, Lanler froze in place, as if petrified and unable to move.
After a moment, his body began to tremble, and the corners of his mouth were no longer stiff, but kept rising.
“Ha, ha ha ha”
His laughter rang out, but it was not hearty at all.
No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like it is filled with bad emotions. If the servants were still sober, they would probably exclaim:
He laughed. Luluwo’s actions really made the prince laugh!
Although, it's funny.
