Chapter 44 Third Global Video

"The escape game process is short enough, which is both a blessing and a pity."

Fortunately, I can get out of this dangerous environment as soon as possible.

It is a pity that there is no way to further understand the inside story of this illusory world, and there is no additional benefit from it.

Shaking his head, Zhou Ze groped along the narrow stone wall and soon found the blood-stained note that said 'Don't go down'. Then he touched a stone brick with a corner raised in the stone seam.

Remove the stone bricks to reveal the dark passage hidden behind.

The way of life is in front of you, and the most difficult and most difficult part of escaping the castle is easily solved.

It is cool to have a strategy in advance.

Call out the clone and let it guard the door, tell it to try its best to hold the root monster, and then wake up the three explorers.

In reality, there is one more step of explanation than in the game.

It's not too complicated. Zhou Ze simply told them that this place is very dangerous, there are monsters outside, and they must climb out of the secret passage to be rescued. After being translated by a woman who understands Chinese, the explorers who were trapped here for nearly a day could only choose to believe him.

The next step is the same bridge as in the game.

The avatar dragged the root monster, and he led the explorers to crawl around the dark passage, back to the castle of reality, and fled to the gate where the sound of raindrops became more and more dense...

In the game, it is time to pop up the evaluation settlement at this time.

But reality doesn't.

The three adventurers disappeared into the rain like dots of light, leaving him still in place. The rain fell through his 'body' and fell to the ground, as if he was just an intangible phantom.

"Is it true that the soul is out of the body?"

Zhou Ze had expected it a long time ago and shrugged his shoulders: "So, how should I go back? The world game shouldn't just kill but not bury, right?"

Behind him in the old castle, a huge figure glowing red came out from the basement step by step, scrambling the ground, staring at Zhou Ze outside the castle door, but did not use its roots to attack.

"You ruined my plan, you will die! I will wait for you in the nether world..."

A violent idea roared deep in Zhou Ze's mind.

"Plan? Is there any dark story behind this?"

Zhou Ze was puzzled, but the game was over and he had no chance to learn the inside story.

Zhou Ze wasn't particularly afraid of the root beard monster face to face. Since the opponent didn't attack him, he definitely couldn't attack him. Otherwise, with the lethality of this monster in the game, he would be gone if he met him face to face. Why would he need to stand so far away? Say harsh words?

Analyzed from various angles.

I stood outside the gate of the old castle, and the monster stood inside the gate of the old castle.

Could it be that it can't come out?
Since there was no danger, he was not in a hurry to leave, and switched to the 'inquiry' skill on the portable interface: "What are you? Why do you want to trap them in the castle? What is your plan?"

If you think about it carefully, there are actually many doubts about the whole incident.

According to his speculation, the three explorers may have strayed into a forbidden room in the castle, most likely the utility room in the basement, so their souls were imprisoned in the illusory world of the ghost castle.

According to the existing information, the following hypotheses can be made: ① Monsters cannot move during the day; ② Monsters cannot leave the castle, even if it is an illusory castle; ③ The outside world of the castle is safe during the day; ④ Rain passes in the illusory world after dark To the nether world.

But here is the problem.

It rained after dark, Zhou Ze and the three explorers ran into the castle to avoid the rain, why didn't the monster show up and kill them all?
From this a guess can be drawn.

Killing them isn't the monster's greatest purpose.

Its purpose may be to trap them... or it may be to trick them into voluntarily escaping behind the gate of the illusory castle?
"I will wait for you in the Netherworld..."

The root monster's sanity doesn't seem to be particularly clear, it just repeats this sentence, its mummy-like face is full of resentment and malice, coupled with the constantly wriggling roots around its body, it can scare people to do it at night. nightmare.

"Go to your uncle's Netherworld, I am a cultivator, and I will live forever!"

Zhou Ze raised his middle finger at it angrily. This guy can't get out anyway, so he has the ability to bite me?
It's not sure whether the root monster understood the meaning of the middle finger, but it must have heard Zhou Ze's expected taunt, and it manically threw out its dark roots and slapped it. However, the moment these roots came into contact with the door, they were hit by an invisible force. The air wall blocks it.

I was startled, I thought it was going to be cold.

Zhou Ze became more and more determined not to stay near the castle.

Just in the state of the soul, you can go to explore nearby to see which country and place it is.

As soon as he left the boundary of the ancient castle and walked towards the forest, his body suddenly became light and uncontrollable, suspended in the air, and his vision fell into gloom and darkness...

Waking up again, a ray of sunlight outside the window shone on his face.

Zhou Ze looked out the window in surprise: "A dream? No, it's not a dream."

My body and spirit are in excellent condition, and I don't feel tired. It can be seen that I really vomited all night last night.

He still retains the memory of going to the castle in his soul state, but the memory has become blurred, like an unreal dream.

I picked up my phone and looked at the time. It was only about seven o'clock in the morning.

"My soul was thrown by World Games to save people last night? I didn't expect that there would be such an operation."

Zhou Ze was going to get up and take a shower, but by accident, he picked up his phone and opened the browser.

Sure enough, this time the game was made into a video and announced to the world, and this time he was no stranger to it.

The mobile browser forcibly jumps to the mysterious website, and automatically plays a video called "Escape from the Castle"... This time the video is more than 30 minutes long, which is longer than the previous two videos combined!
At the beginning of the video, there is 'Help! Anyone? ! ''s cry for help has a sense of déjà vu in a Hollywood thriller.

Immediately afterwards, from the perspective of three adventurers, a mysterious knight in a black jacket appeared from the depths of the forest with a flashlight, and said 'follow me' (translation: follow me) in a mysterious and low voice.

The conversation behind the few people was skipped, and it was directly switched to the silent raindrops falling from the sky. The four of them ran into the utility room of the castle to avoid the rain. The wind was strong, the wooden door was slammed shut, and the picture fell into darkness.

The perspective switches to the mysterious knight.

Ignoring the three unconscious explorers in the utility room, he carefully opened the door and went downstairs to explore the third and second floors of the dilapidated castle. wandering...

"Eh? That's not right, I don't have this paragraph in my file, right?"

Zhou Ze showed a surprised expression.

His last save was not such a complicated process, but he took the correct route directly, without wasting a minute.

But what happened in the video?
The world game fills in to make the video look better?Or did it actually happen even if the save file was not uploaded in the game?
It doesn't matter if it's the former, but if it's the latter... then it's a bit interesting.
