How Did It Become a River Crab?

At the moment when the memory backtracking ended, Mo Lan's first reaction was to look around to make sure that the gardener brother hadn't come to set up an ambush in the underworld, followed the example of Murakami Ichiro, opened the darkness, and saw a key.

The data showed that it was the key to the gardener's servant's room. He recalled the area behind the mansion he saw when he landed. There were indeed several back doors, and one of them was probably the gardener's room. Otherwise, Mo Lan would have no way to go back.

There's nothing else here, time to retreat to the mansion and see what's in the gardener's room.

Picking up the key, Mo Lan turned around, not in a hurry to leave again, but turned around and began to look around the entire hedge maze.

Even though he stunned the gardener with a villain-style charge in the men's toilet, Mo Lan didn't think he could repeat the same trick 100% safely, and continued to use this move to return to the original position. He compared it first and found A road that was different from before, without any weird hedge statues, took a deep breath, activated the rampant cloak again, and rushed over.

the first wall...

The second wall...

The third wall...

fourth……

The moment Mo Lan rushed out of the fourth wall, Mo Lan felt a strange pull from the cloak behind him. Seeing this, he rushed forward without hesitation, and the grafting knife passed behind him. There was a scratch on the cloak.

Behind Mo Lan, the tall gardener took a step forward and swung a knife towards Mo Lan's chest!

Mo Lan rolled along the trend and got up. After avoiding the blow, he did not fire the last bullet in the shotgun. Instead, he activated his cloak again, picked the nearest direction and moved sideways at full speed, piercing two holes in succession. The hedge wall, there are still a few last steps to break out of the maze.

But at this moment, Mo Lan realized that his operation was rough.

Eager to avoid the attack of the grafting knife, Mo Lan didn't have time to judge the best path. The path he chose had a statue of a hedge raising his hands high, looking like he was about to smash it.

Although he has never really seen the effect of these statues, Mo Lan knows that these things are definitely not decorations.

Mo Lan, who realized this, flew forward the moment he passed through the wall. Behind him, the statue with arms raised high suddenly turned into a gardener stabbing down with a grafting knife. If Mo Lan continued to sprint, He is likely to be directly nailed to the ground by this knife.

Even so, Mo Lan couldn't escape the knife unscathed. The knife cut on his right shoulder, pierced through the shoulder armor, and left a shallow scar on his shoulder.

This scar is not fatal, but the purpose of the gardener in the first place seems not to cause this scar, but to cut this knife on Mo Lan's cloak.

The [Rampaging Cloak], which had already been slashed before, was slashed nearly half of it cleanly by this slash, and the blue cloth fell to the ground, stained with a trace of blood.

A system prompt will follow.

"The item [Cloak of Rampage] that you brought into the game through [Inheritance Virtual Image] is destroyed, you will lose the effect of crossing obstacles, lose the effect of reducing damage from rampage, and the acceleration effect will be reduced by 50%. When you leave this instance, [Cloak of Rampage] will It will be fixed automatically."

Hearing this prompt, Mo Lan gave a slight "tsk".

Pretty smart, gardener boy.

Chapter 520 Gardener, you know...

Losing the barrier-penetrating effect of [Rampaging Cloak], Mo Lan had no way to go straight through the last two walls, and had to stay in the hedge maze, facing the gardener's pursuit.

Mo Lan didn't panic because of this, but it just changed from speedrunning with equipment to regular gameplay. If you can't do anything without the cloak, then Mo Lan hastened to sell the game and give it away. After visually checking the direction, Mo Lan suddenly raised the double-barreled shotgun and pointed it at the gardener's head.

The gardener, who had suffered three headshots in a row, reacted very quickly, and immediately covered his face with his hands, trying to block the blow.

A second passed, and the gardener who didn't hear the gunfire put down his hands in a daze, only to find that Mo Lan had already used the remaining acceleration effect of the rampage cloak, turned around and disappeared...

With no remaining ammunition supply, Mo Lan would not easily use up this last shot. He also hoped to use this bullet to hit terrain kills or environment kills. He raised the gun just to see the gardener's intelligence. Will he cheat himself in turn, and the final result is quite successful.

Mo Lan, who temporarily escaped from the pursuit of the gardener, walked around the maze by the light of the street lamps, looking for a possible way out. He took a rough look at the shape of the maze when he was in the bedroom on the second floor. Exit, and there is more than one way to reach each exit. As long as you make more distinctions and remember more, the chance of running out is not low.

The footsteps of the gardener behind him are quite hurried, and it is often impossible to tell which direction it is heading. After losing the substantial acceleration and not reducing the energy consumption of the rampage, Mo Lan can only use the rampage as an explosive acceleration method. And use ordinary running to escape.

At this time, the disadvantages of the armor that helped me block two damages were revealed. It will not affect Mo Lan's movement speed too much, but it will increase energy consumption. The energy bar on the top of Mo Lan's head will decrease steadily over time. Not too optimistic.

What's more troublesome is that Mo Lan was stabbed on the shoulder by the gardener, and bloody branches began to grow in the wound, as if a plant was growing wildly with Mo Lan's flesh and blood as the soil.

Mo Lan glanced at the blood bar on the top of her head. As the bloody branches grew, her HP also dropped at a constant speed. Obviously, the more wounds she received from the grafting knife, the faster her HP would drop.

Seeing this scene, Mo Lan first further confirmed that the time was running out, and then, she felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart.

This knife seems to be very useful...

As a player who has tried dark deception without a map, his wild thoughts did not affect Mo Lan's ability to find a way. During the period, the gardener also caught up with him once or twice, but Mo Lan relied on armor and body skills to kick his legs with a revolver (no Damage but with knockback effect) to evade, and finally, Mo Lan found the way to the exit after throwing the gardener away again.

The problem is, there are TM three hedge statues on this road that gardeners can use to teleport.

Detours are not impossible, but there is a risk of lack of physical strength if you delay for too long. The best way is to rush out of the maze here.

Mo Lan narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, took out the half bottle of high-alcohol vodka from the inventory, held the bottle upside down, smashed the bottom of the bottle on the lamp post next to it, and took off the long-burning kerosene lamp , shattered the glass lampshade, then grabbed two items and ran rampantly towards the first statue.

The movement of this statue swept from front to back. When Mo Lan approached the statue, it was replaced by a gardener who was holding a grafting knife and swung the knife at Mo Lan's neck. Mo Lan, who had been prepared for a long time, squatted down. , while dodging the knife, he poured all the spirits in his right hand on the gardener's head.

The gardener was stunned by this action, but when he turned around, he saw Mo Lan raised the oil lamp, making a gesture to throw it at him.

"Gardener, do you know the Gagarin era, why didn't you allow wine to go into space?"

Mo Lan chuckled and threw out the oil lamp in her hand.

Naturally, the gardener couldn't understand what Mo Lan was playing, but the next moment, he understood it personally.

The shattered flames licked his body and ignited high-strength alcohol in an instant. The fiery flames covered the gardener's entire upper body, turning him from a gardener into a high-level revenge flame soul Brand COSer in an instant.

"Woooooooooo!!"

The gardener let out that ear-piercing roar again. He raised his head and screamed, his body began to struggle crazily, and he fell back on the ground, writhing in despair on the ground, as powerless as all victims of the fire.

Seeing this, Mo Lan knew that she had guessed right.

As the saying goes, if a ghost dies because of a factor, either it will use this factor as part of its ability, or... it must be particularly afraid of it.

Since Wilson Kerry, Shanna Kerry and Ichiro Murakami, the three [Gardener] candidates, were all swallowed by flames, and [Gardener]'s ability does not include flames, then in all likelihood, flames are his Nemesis, this is also the reason why the system specially arranged so many bottles of spirits.

Now it seems that for those players who don't have rampage cloak, have bad luck and memory, and can't find their way, fire attack is their most powerful weapon in this maze.

Mo Lan glanced at the damage bar above her head. Although it said that the [Fearless] task had been completed, the cumulative damage bar was still operating. Mo Lan roughly estimated the fire and damage. Before these flames were extinguished, the gardener would be burned About 20% of the life value.

In other words, even if Mo Lan poured out all the rest of the wine, and the gardener didn't return blood within this period of time, Mo Lan would probably not be able to burn him to death. Mo Lan had the idea of ​​charging furiously.

Mo Lan immediately decided to give up the further fire attack, took down the oil lamp from another street lamp, turned around and rushed out of the maze at high speed, took out the gardener's key, tried several doors, found the correct one, and locked the door after entering , and began to check the situation of the maid's room.

The gardener's room was very plain, with nothing else but a bed, bedside table, table and chairs.

Compared with the bedroom with footprints, the gardener's room looks like no one has ever visited. The bed and the table are covered with a thick layer of dust. Mo Lan looked around and found a handful in the bedside table. The burnt and deformed revolver looks completely useless, and it is most likely a plot prop.

Seeing this, Mo Lan searched again, and found a box of two matches left under the bedside table. Seeing this, Mo Lan put it on the inner lining of the police uniform on her chest.

Next, Mo Lan thought for a moment and decided to find another way to return to the bedroom on the second floor.

Chapter 530 It's still a flower for rich people

Mo Lan feels that this revolver is most likely to be effective in the bedroom, and it is used to trigger memory recall as a plot prop.

As the core location of the whole story, the [bedroom] area should not only have the plot just now. No matter how you say it, the ins and outs of the gardener's revenge and the three people being burned to death in the bedroom should be shown. In the whole story, The only time I used this revolver was for the bedroom revenge.

Mo Lan put the revolver in the inventory, and did not hurry up to the second floor, but returned to the lobby on the first floor. After confirming that there was no change in the entire lobby, she took one from the armor stand that she hadn't taken before. Putting it in the inventory, he touched a small knife, pointed the blade at the fleshy branch growing on his shoulder, and slashed hard!

A dull pain flashed by the knife, and Mo Lan frowned slightly, watching the bloody fleshy branch fall to the ground, twisting and struggling like a living creature for a while, and then gradually withered, turning into a scorched black twisted branch .

Endless Space will weaken the player's pain perception to a maximum of 20% under any circumstances. According to the system's mental evaluation when entering the game, the corresponding reduction is made. Mo Lan's current pain perception ratio is 16%, which supports him to do various All kinds of macho and tough guy behaviors, without turning into monsters.

After cutting off the flesh and blood branches, Mo Lan looked at the blood bar above her head and confirmed that her blood volume had stopped dropping. Only after occasionally losing a little blood due to the wound, Mo Lan found the nearest small staircase and went upstairs.

Unlike the main staircase illuminated by the moonlight, these small stairwells were narrow and cramped, filled with the musty smell of rotting wood. Mo Lan walked steadily upwards with gentle steps. The moment he passed the corner, he heard a series of male screams.

Mo Lan turned her head expressionlessly, and looked towards another flight of stairs behind the corner. On the stairwell was a male corpse hanging upside down. It had already rotted and smelled, and the smell of the corpse was covered by the strong smell of rotting wood. Into the nasal cavity, the distance between the rotten face and Mo Lan was no more than 5 centimeters, and he could even see the white maggots crawling on the eye sockets of the corpse.

After a moment of silence, Mo Lan took down the white maggot, put it on the window sill, and waved goodbye.

"You are free, please go to your own distant place!"

The white maggot wandered around on the window sill in a daze. Mo Lan felt that the maggot was not ideal for living as a worm, which was really disappointing, so she simply turned her head and began to observe the corpse.

Looking at the clothes, they should belong to people of this era. They must be the young people who came here to explore and die. There is nothing to say. Mo Lan cut the rope, put down the corpse and checked it. After finding no props, he turned and went upstairs. , searched several other small stairs from top to bottom, and found similar jump scare settings.

These corpses hanging in the stairwell were all men without exception. Mo Lan put all the corpses down and searched aside, found a small flashlight, and found a double-barreled shotgun bullet on a window sill.

Looking from the window sill of the stairwell where one could see the hedge maze in the backyard, after confirming that the gardener had disappeared from the maze, Mo Lan turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

Mo Lan didn't turn on the small flashlight, walked steadily all the way to the door of the bedroom, and stepped into the dark bedroom with one foot.

...and quickly took it back.

At this moment, a grafting knife stretched out from behind the door, swiped downwards, and successfully sent a wave to the air in front of Mo Lan.

The gardener standing behind the door was stunned for a moment, stuck out his scorched head, and looked at Mo Lan silently across the threshold.

A second later, Mo Lan grinned.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Lan took out the long gun that he took down from the backpack in an instant, aimed at the gardener's neck and poked it, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, and forced it against the charred wardrobe behind him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mo Lan turned on the flashlight, checked the condition of the gardener's skin, and found that on his scorched skin, the deeper black marks burned by Mo Lan had not disappeared.

That is to say, the gardener cannot restore the health damage caused by the fire, and the burn is equivalent to burning the gardener's upper blood volume and blood volume together...

After confirming this, Mo Lan pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, aimed at the gardener's feet and pulled the trigger.

When he came here for the first time, Mo Lan had confirmed by stepping on it that the floor of the bedroom that had been burned was quite fragile. The place where Mo Lan's spear came out was the weakest area. If he hadn't guessed Wrong, just spray it with this twin tube sprayer...

"Oh!"

Accompanied by this gunshot, the floor under the gardener's feet shattered instantly. The gardener roared and wanted to reach out to grab Mo Lan, but he couldn't stop his fall and fell towards the room on the first floor.

At the last moment when he was about to disappear from the second floor, the gardener suddenly swung the grafting knife in his hand at Mo Lan, and the blade dropped out of his hand in an instant, whirled out, and slashed towards Mo Lan's neck!

But the moment Mo Lan swung the knife, he had already used the remaining acceleration effect of the [Rampaging Cloak] to move towards the side, narrowly dodging the knife.

The whirling blade stuck into the wall behind Mo Lan, and it dissipated naturally before Mo Lan reached out to grab it, and it must have returned to the owner's hand.

In the previous maze chasing battle, the gardener tried to throw Mo Lan's head with a throwing knife. Mo Lan, who was almost hit once, naturally wouldn't suffer a second time.

Dodging the knife, Mo Lan stretched out her head to take a look, and found that the gardener had fallen into a room on the first floor. After observing it, Mo Lan found that it was the study that Mo Lan had visited before.

The gardener stood up from the study room, just about to raise his head and roar at Mo Lan, but his gaze was fixed in one direction. The whole person seemed to be transformed into a sculpture. He stared for a long time, then roared a few times in a low voice, then turned his head and disappeared from Mo Lan's sight. middle.

From this angle, Mo Lan couldn't see what the gardener was looking at, but he recalled the layout of the study, and immediately remembered that there was only one thing worthy of attention in that direction, and that was Wilson Kerry and Mrs. Shanna Kerry's photo.

After sorting out her thoughts, Mo Lan turned to look at the bed area in the bedroom, and took out the broken revolver from the inventory.

At this moment, the pistol in Mo Lan's hand returned to an ordinary revolver, disappeared from Mo Lan's hand, and turned into a wisp of silver-black smoke and dust that floated behind Mo Lan. The phantom of the gardener was tightly held by his right hand behind his back.

At the same time, the surrounding environment became a normal bedroom after the lights were turned off. In Mo Lan's sight, the new wife Shanna Kerry was pulling the gardener into the bedroom quietly.
