I Rely On Poverty To Sweep Through Survival Games

Xiao Lan regretfully gave up the plan to let her boyfriend have extra meals.

What a non-human being, but unfortunately a picky eater.

He turned to the light of the bishop's burning fire and began to look for the [Stone of Forgiveness] mentioned by Wang Teddy.

Xiao Lan had noticed before that there were some shimmering red stones scattered around the altar. These stones looked different from the surrounding ones, and they were probably their targets.

Relying on memory, Xiao Lan picked up a stone.

[Name: Stone of Forgiveness]

[Ability: Used in the Forest of Conversion, can escape from the Song of Sarah, the pardon rate is 20% (this item is only effective in the Song of Sarah)]

【Explanation: Sarah will forgive you the sin of breaking into His territory】

"20%?" Xiao Lan frowned, "Why is this thing starting to play with probability?"

As an African chief, he protested.The last [Emperor's New Clothes Version 20] with a trigger effect of 2.0% was still fresh in his memory. After taking it for so long, it only triggered one damage reduction. It could be called a counterfeit product.

At this time, Luo also came over and handed him a stone.

Xiao Lan took it and saw that it was also a [Stone of Forgiveness], but the pardon rate was as high as 98%...

Well, it turned out that the halo of the African chief shrouded his head.

Relying on Luo's European emperor physique, the two found a few more reliable [Stones of Forgiveness] around.

Xiao Lan put away all the stones, and at the same time she was a little confused: "Where is the refuge forest? If you are not in this refuge forest, the players will not be able to leave."

"Perhaps the things here can bring some clues." Luo pointed to the wall on one side.

Xiao Lan walked over to take a look, and found that there were many patterns drawn on this wall. Because of the remote location and the light, he didn't notice it for a while.

The pattern is drawn in dark red.

It only uses lines to draw and outlines a simple picture, without even coloring, it can be seen that the drawing is very sloppy.

But even so, this level of painting can beat a soul artist.

In the first part of the mural, a forest was drawn.

There is a group of ragged people advancing in the forest. If you look carefully, you can tell that they have many disabilities and alienated parts like the residents in the small town.

These people are all walking in the same direction, as if they have some goal.

They looked intoxicated, as if they had heard some wonderful music.

Xiao Lan said, "Are they... making a pilgrimage?"

Luo nodded: "It looks very similar. Look at their expressions, don't they look like those people in the small town who said Sarah's singing is beautiful?"

Xiao Lan recalled for a moment: "Perhaps they heard Sarah's call, so they went to a certain place together."

Luo: "I think so."

Going forward, you can still see these people kneeling down.

That posture was the same as the crowd that Xiao Lan and the others saw not long ago, it looked stiff and weird.

Not only did they kneel down, but some people sat down on the spot and started cutting their own limbs with sharp tools.

There are even those who directly take up weapons and attack the companions around them.

Blood spattered out, but there was no pain or fear on their faces, they were still full of fanaticism.

Although the picture is just simple lines, thanks to the painter's superb skills, he depicted this weird scene very vividly. Just looking at it seems to be able to smell the bloody smell at that time, and the feeling of madness lingering in the crowd.

"..." Xiao Lan frowned and continued walking forward.

There is a mural in the middle that seems to have peeled off due to age and lack of protection, leaving only a bare wall.

The debris on the ground has long since disappeared after years of trampling.

As a result, I am afraid that only those who drew it at that time will know what is painted in this section.

To the very end of the mural.

The picture above is a wall, which is very long and twists and turns like a maze.

On the wall are human bodies in various poses, their movements twisted, their limbs struggling, as if in pain.

But the expressions on their faces were indeed joyful. Looking at their exaggerated smiles, it could even be called ecstasy.

Xiao Lan roughly counted, and the number of people on the wall was obviously much less than the previous pilgrims.

Something must have happened on the way to make them downsize.

The missing piece of mural in the middle probably describes this link, but unfortunately it cannot be seen.

Scrawled below the mural read——

"Pious people will be guided, pass the test of the conversion forest, and get the glory of being integrated with Sara on the wall of sacrifice."

"We must be not pious enough to be rejected by Sarah."

"One day Sarah will see our loyalty."

Xiao Lan looked at the mural: "Is this the 'integrate with Sarah' mentioned by the hotel owner before?"

The final destination of these people who crazily believe in Sarah is this wall of sacrifice.

They wanted to offer themselves to Sarah as sacrifices to him.

Luo propped his chin with one hand: "I didn't expect it to be literally 'integrated into one'."

Xiao Lan said: "This is basically a 'martyrs' wall..."

He didn't want to go up at all.

Judging from the text left behind, these people in the altar probably belong to the kind of "unqualified sacrifices".

They then returned to town, determined to prove their devotion to Sara by holding a bloody sacrifice.

But in the end, Sarah didn't guide them to the Wall of Sacrifice again, but they turned into such immortal monsters.

And the murals that recorded the selection process of the offerings had peeled off, making it impossible for Xiao Lan to know what happened in the Forest of Refuge.

What is the standard for judging the qualification of the sacrifice is not recorded in the murals.

Xiao Lan always felt that Wang Ke's whereabouts might be related to this sacrificial wall.

Because even the [Stone of Forgiveness] that allows players to leave the game field must be used in the forest of conversion. Perhaps this is also a way to guide players to the wall of sacrifice.

Where is the convertible forest?

According to the murals, only devout believers will be guided.

But they are not religious at all, and even want to beat each other violently. Will Sarah really guide them?

Now that the bishop was almost burned, the light dimmed again.

At this moment, the voice heard before sounded again.

Xiao Lan's consciousness was confused for a moment, and there seemed to be many pictures flashing before his eyes.

A happy childhood, Xiao Chengyan's wine glass, Luo's Adam's apple, Tie Hanhan gnawing on the vegetable field, Father Michael's butt...

"..." Xiao Lan covered her head, what kind of mess is this?

Still, Sarah's song seemed to have a growing influence on him.

It was just a trance before, but now there is a picture, and perhaps it will directly become a hallucination to a certain extent.

That would be troublesome.

Thinking of the crazy player he met before, Xiao Lan felt that it would be better to leave this game field as soon as possible.

He didn't want to be a self-harming lunatic.

"Sir?" Luo walked over worried.

Xiao Lan shook her head: "I'm fine, the clues here are almost there, let's leave here first."

Xiao Lan took two steps forward and found that Luo hadn't followed.

Looking back, Luo's brows were still frowning.

He suddenly laughed, walked over and touched the other person's face, and said jokingly: "Sir, don't be unhappy that you are so handsome."

Luo held his wrist and smiled helplessly: "You know what I'm worried about."

Xiao Lan looked at him: "Don't worry, I want to accompany you to turn the Advent World upside down so that I won't fall down here. Wouldn't it be better if we rescued Wang Ke earlier and left here?"

Luo's dark eyes were like deep pools, and he looked at Xiao Lan as if he wanted to imprint him in his eyes.

Suddenly Luo turned his head and gently kissed the palm of Xiao Lan who was caught.

His lips were soft, with a scorching temperature, as if a brand had landed on Xiao Lan's heart.

Xiao Lan's heart trembled suddenly, and he couldn't help but recall the feeling of kissing those lips...

With a sudden force in Luo's hand, he pulled Xiao Lan to his side.

Surrounded by warm embraces, Luo's arms firmly encircled the person in his arms.

He put his lips close to Xiao Lan's ear, and his warm breath swept over his ear, causing a burst of numbness: "I will also be with you, sir."

Xiao Lan stretched out her hand and hugged him back: "Then let's talk about it."

"Well, it's done." Luo said softly.

After speaking, his lips fell on Xiao Lan's earlobe, and he bit it lightly.

This blow was not heavy, but it brought a burning sensation on the lips, accompanied by a slight pain, which seemed to reach people's heart more directly than a soft kiss.

Xiao Lan suddenly felt a burst of scalding heat coming from her earlobe, and instantly spread across her entire face like a prairie fire.

Xiao Lan froze.

Luo had already let go of him, and his tone returned to normal: "Let's go, sir."

Xiao Lan hurriedly took the opportunity to rub her face, trying to wipe off the heat of disobedience, and couldn't help but rejoice that the light was not good at the moment.

What did some non-human who felt he was still too young learn in all this time?

The two walked towards the outside of the altar area, and Luo also removed the black shadow barrier.

In the next moment, dense figures appeared in front of the two of them, almost face to face with them.

It's just too exciting.

As if sensing something, all the "people" at the altar came over.

They stood there like this, their faces were numb and stiff, and their empty eyes stared straight at the two of them, and those eyes sent chills down the spine.

The first thought that flashed through Xiao Lan's mind was——

Fuck!There are so many viewers!It was a public execution! !

Under the excessive shock, his face did not turn red at all.

However, these guys couldn't feel Xiao Lan's inner activities at the moment.

After all, Luo's black shadows are still very reliable in clearing the field. Even if they are indescribable inside, they will not be discovered by outsiders.

Even if they find out, these promising townspeople who are addicted to cults probably won't have any interest in the sour and smelly dog ​​food of the dog man.

They just sensed the movement of the altar, and raised their stiff arms one after another, attacking the two of them.

Unless you know the invisibility technique in this posture, you can't escape at all.

Although Xiao Lan does not know invisibility, he has mastered the traditional skill of physical invisibility.

In an instant, with the black blade in hand, Xiao Lan and Luo rushed towards the surrounding crowd.

-

In the small town of Mona, it was already dusk.

The old pastor John sat at the door of the abandoned church and prayed, hoping that the two strangers who entered could come out safely.

Suddenly, the ground shook for a while, as if some monster was destroying it recklessly underground.

Just when he didn't know why, two figures rushed out from the ruins of the church.

Against the light, John saw the figures of two strangers.

The person who talked to him seemed to be carrying something.

"I found this down below, maybe you will want to see it again." Xiao Lan handed the cross on his shoulder to John.

This is what he saw in the aisle when he came out. The cross fell on the ground, covered with dust and gravel, and was piled up with other rubbish.

When John saw the cross, tears welled up in his cloudy eyes.

He didn't mind that it was full of mud, and he carefully put his forehead on it and wept silently.

It's been too long, he hasn't seen anything related to the Lord for too long.

Xiao Lan squatted in front of him: "If you have a chance, you should leave here, I think God also wants his believers to live a better life."

John was in tears. He looked at the cross in his hand, rubbed it lightly with his skinny fingers, and nodded silently.

I don't know what he will do in the end.

-

Saying goodbye to John, Xiao Lan and the two returned to the hotel.

On the way, the town is still so dilapidated, and the residents are still polite and easy-going, asking them how long these foreigners can live.

Several people had made an appointment to exchange information at dusk.

At this moment, neither Wang Teddy nor Qi Ning came back, so Xiao Lan and Luo could only wait in the room first.

Looking at the sunset outside the window, Xiao Lan couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

This small town is full of weirdness and madness. Against the backdrop of the surrounding wildfires, even the sunset looks a little more hideous.

Is this the world or hell?

When it was almost dark, Wang Teddy finally came back.

He didn't look well, with a few scars and a little blood on his body, as if he had experienced some kind of battle.

"Did you fight someone?" Xiao Lan asked.

Wang Teddy nodded: "I found the bodies of several players today. They have been dead for a long time, but according to the traces, they should have died of cannibalism. Unfortunately, I didn't find any useful clues on them."

His face was a little heavy: "But I met... Liang Si'an, the traitor in my brother's team, he came in early. I chased him and moved a few times, but I still lost, this guy You can really hide."

Wang Teddy suppressed his anxiety and uneasiness, trying to keep himself calm.

The appearance of this traitor made him feel extremely urgent.

However, he did not find any clues related to Wang Ke.

Xiao Lan told him about the clues she found today.

He also talked about his own analysis: "I suspect that Wang Ke may have been selected as a qualified sacrifice, and it was on the other side of the conversion forest or the sacrifice wall. After all, unqualified sacrifices will be returned to the town. In this case, we There's no reason we couldn't find him."

Wang Teddy clenched his fingers nervously: "Sacrifice..."

Xiao Lan comforted him: "With your skills, he must not be dead yet."

Wang Teddy nodded silently.

At this time, Xiao Lan took out the [Stone of Forgiveness] they found.

He threw two stones to Wang Teddy: "Take it, you and your brother."

Wang Teddy raised his hand to take it, showing a faint smile: "Thanks, without you, I would not be able to rescue my brother by myself."

Xiao Lan said, "But we still don't know where the refuge forest is."

Several people discussed for a while where the conversion forest might appear, but since there were no clues, everything could only be speculation.

After a while, it was already dark.

But the sky in the town is still red because of the wildfire.

Xiao Lan frowned slightly: "Hasn't Qi Ning come back yet?"

Wang Teddy said: "It's not right, he doesn't look like someone who is not punctual, could something have happened?"

A feeling of uneasiness enveloped their hearts.

Several people came to Qi Ning's room.

The room was as dilapidated as the others, but Qi Ning changed the bed sheet and quilt cover to white to make it look tidy.

There were no traces of fighting or blood in the room, as if he had never returned.

"Look at this." Xiao Lan found a piece of paper beside Qi Ning's bed.

There are many abstract wavy lines drawn on it, which seem to have some special meaning.

Wang Teddy also came over: "What is this? Password? Secret text? Qi Ning left us a clue?"

Xiao Lan thought about it: "Why did Qi Ning use such a complicated method to leave us a message? How could he be sure that we can understand the coded text?"

As he said that, Xiao Lan turned suspicious eyes to Wang Teddy, hoping that the other party would understand, but he got the same question mark expression on his face.

Wang Teddy said, "Hiss...it shouldn't be..."

Xiao Lan stared at the note for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "What do you think Qi Ning does?"

Wang Teddy was puzzled: "The little partner of justice, the person most wanted by the wanted criminals, the person who loves human anatomy, the mysterious man whose face is full of mosaics?"

Xiao Lan looked at her over-witty little friend: "...No, I mean his profession."

Wang Teddy suddenly realized: "Doctor!"

The two of them turned their attention back to the note again. You can see the lines full of vitality in the abstraction, the writing speed as if racing against the god of death, and the enthusiasm for life and unyielding spirit in each stroke. —Doctor’s word? !

But the problem came again.

Wang Teddy scratched the little curly hair: "Where are we going to find a doctor to interpret it?"

The two saw confusion in each other's eyes.

In this small town that doesn't shit, let alone a doctor, there may not even be a nurse.

They suspect that if someone here is sick, the townspeople will only actively and enthusiastically advise him-"Let's cut it."

Superstition is harmful!

At this time, Luo who was on the side said, "Maybe I can try."

Xiao Lan handed the note to him with some puzzlement.

Luo looked at it for a while, and then distinguished it with his artist's eyes.

His fingertips lightly tapped these lines: "It says 'Refuge Forest' and 'Exploration', and the scalpel-shaped one behind it is probably a mark."

"It should be that Qi Ning suddenly found some clues, but he couldn't wait for the appointed time, so he chased after him alone. At the same time, he also told us that he would leave such marks along the way to facilitate our search."

The whole process seems reasonable and convincing.

Wang Teddy quietly asked Xiao Lan: "How did he see this?"

Xiao Lan replied: "Probably... the soul writer and the soul painter have a tacit understanding?"
