The Game Show of Death: Demons of Reason

The sound of the lake hitting the cliff could be heard clearly from afar. The smell of ink and old paper from the library that used to fill it was gone now. Nian Weiji suspected that his sense of smell had not recovered. He raised his head and took a deep breath. , smell all the smell of dust.

"After you fell into a coma, Chen Luyao continued to quarrel with Marquis Jin, but time was running out. They could only rush to the ballroom. Carmichael's new play will be performed in the ballroom. They want to go there first to see what's next. manage."

Wei Zixu stood beside Nian Weiji and told him what happened after he fell into a coma. Nian Weiji listened to Wei Zixu while observing the environment.The courtyard around the two of them was located on the edge of the cliff. The corridors and columns in the courtyard were weathered, and the rubble was scattered all over the place. The only thing still in shape was the fountain sculpture in the middle of the courtyard.The sculpture stood not far from Nian Weiji, about five meters high, and stuck in the dry fountain pool.The sculpture should be in the shape of a water-spraying beast, but the shape is weird. It seems to be a reptile with wings. It has a large mouth and feathers and horns on the top of its head. Its head looks like a dragon or a falcon. , but there are layers of shriveled scales on his body.

The lower jaw of the statue is decayed, and there is no visible color.This shape is different from any one I have seen before, like some kind of mythical creature, and there is a faint evil atmosphere.

"Where's Mick? How is he?" Nian Weiji asked Wei Zixu.

"Mick was left behind, and Jin was standing next to him, but when I saw you fell down, I ran to your side and didn't care about Mick's condition." Wei Zixu said, pinching his chin and thinking for a while, Continued: "But he stood up later, and was supported by Jin and walked out. I didn't pay attention at the time, and only vaguely heard Mick say 'lover'..."

"'Lover'? Ni Shang's skill card?" Nian Weiji responded immediately.

Wei Zixu: "Yes, the skill of 'Lover' is to share the damage. If Mick uses 'Lover' to share the damage with Jin, then it is possible to remove the temporary madness in advance."

"But 'Lover' is Ni Shang's skill card, can this be snatched?" Nian Weiji asked: "The skill card is the data stored in the terminal, and I can get Zhou Tong's skill because' The tower's skill is to give props, and she told me how to use it. But Ni Shang's skill card can't be snatched from her, and her corpse has turned into meat sauce..."

"Don't just think about how to grab the skill cards, this is not the only place where Mick is abnormal." Wei Zixu interjected, "Do you still remember the escape room on the third day? The Mick team only took 5 minutes to come out, Even if it is easy difficulty, it is impossible to be so fast, but if you have Song He's "temperance" card skill and use "perspective" to understand the rules of the puzzle, then it is not difficult to get out of trouble quickly. And you don't think Mick's close Have your fighting skills improved a lot? When he was beaten by Xu Qixiang on the first day, he didn't have the ability to fight back at all."

When they were discussing Mick on the cliff, the light gradually dimmed. At the end of the year, they looked back and saw two suns in the sky, one of which hung directly above the steeple, exuding a gray-red halo, illuminating most of the sky. This light is not much redder than gray, it looks like a puddle of water splashed in the sky.Another round of the sun has already set in half of the spire, much smaller than the gray-red sun, and it is emitting a dazzling green light.When Nian Wei looked up at it, it seemed to sense it, and quickly fell from the sky.Now the sky was stirred by the light and swirled above their heads.The dark clouds gathered into one ball, like a big stupid mouth devouring the stars.The dark sky and the oily water of the lake were joined together, churning together, heavy and damp, like a swollen blue color made of a thousand strange oil paints.

"You mean, Mick may have the ability of everyone else's skill cards? This is too much cheating!" Nian Weiyi said, looking at Wei Zixu, but Wei Zixu didn't look at him, but turned his head towards the cliff What is listening below.The blue-gray light fell on Wei Zixu's body, turning his skin as gray as bone ashes.

"Shh, we'll discuss it later when we get out." Wei Zixu raised a finger in front of his lips, guiding Nian Weiji towards the edge of the cliff.The two of them approached the edge of the cliff, Wei Zi leaned forward and pointed to a place below the cliff: "Look there."

On the beach in the distance, a crooked figure rushed towards the city of the minaret, dancing with hands and feet at the same time, and the strange singing sound even drifted into their ears.It was the hunchbacked gentleman they had seen at the ball.

"Oh, he's heading for Carcosa." Nian Weiji said behind Wei Zixu: "We should follow him, he is the envoy of the King in Yellow, and he should take us to the King in Yellow. "

After hearing this, Wei Zixu looked back at him strangely and asked, "Carcosa?"

The end of the year: "It's the city in the distance, the steeple, the lakeshore, the twin suns...there is exactly the same as Carcosa's description."

Wei Zixu said, "Where is the description of Carcosa?"

"In the book..." Nian Weiji said, and suddenly found that he was the only one who had finished reading "The King in Yellow", and he was the only one who knew the information about Calcosa and Lake Harry.

[The "Cthulhu Mythos" check is automatically successful, and a mark is obtained. 】

At the end of the year, a lavender spot appeared on his right hand.

"It seems that you have a lot of information that you haven't shared with me." Wei Zixu glanced at the facula, and said, "I really want to use a 'lover' on you too."

"Hmm!" Nian Weiji heard Wei Zixu say the word "lover", and his tongue suddenly got a little knotted, only to realize that Wei Zixu was referring to the information-sharing function of the "lover" skill card.ALS has paralyzed his tongue to this day, how abominable, I can't help but think about it at the end of the year.

"You don't need a skill card. If you want to know anything, just ask me, and I'll tell you. I didn't have time because of time constraints." Nian Wei stopped looking at Wei Zixu, and said, "By the way, you haven't told us yet." How did you get here?"

"After Mick left, there were only the two of us left in the library. I was busy with first aid and you didn't move. A fog rose in the library soon, and then the scene was cut. The long-range and close-range projections were completed, and we were left in the new scene. I'm inside, and I don't know how to get back."

Nian Weiji nodded and took the lead in finding the way down the cliff. If the king in yellow was the culprit, then their destination should be Carcosa.

The cliff was not as high as it seemed, and they walked cautiously down the path, and they were on the beach in no time.Because the venue is limited, the depth of field is mainly created by projection, and the player's actual feeling may be a little narrower than what he sees, which means that the spire of Carcosa is not as far away as it seems.

As they walked down the cliff, black stars rose one by one above their heads, casting a sickly gray light. The water of Lake Harry was tumbling and roaring. It seemed that something huge had awakened at the bottom of the lake, making the surface of the lake and even the beach tremble. The vibrations continued.The hunchbacked gentleman walked in front of them, his tattered clothes fluttered like wings, no matter how hard they chased, they couldn't shorten the distance between them and the hunchbacked gentleman.

The gray-red light gradually dimmed, the sun had already set, and the light from the black star was only enough for them to see the ground clearly.At this moment, a dazzling blue light flashed by, and Nian Wei followed the light to see the past. On the top floor of the tallest spire in Carcosa, a dazzling and weird blue light flashed, which was the only sign of life here.

After chasing for a while, Nian Wei was out of breath, and they had come to the edge of Carcosa city.In front of them, the city gate about 100 meters high was wide open, and the walls on both sides were so high that the top could hardly be seen, making Nian Weiji and Wei Zixu look like lice.Looking in from the gate, the streets and buildings in the city are crooked and made of pitted black stones, and a warm wind with a rotten smell blows from the depths of the street.At the end of the year, he was so tired that he leaned against a wall and gasped for breath. The wall felt sticky, as if it was stained with some kind of bodily fluid.

"Don't rest, we've lost the hunchbacked gentleman!" Wei Zixu picked up Nian Weiji and forced him to walk into the city.

At the end of the year, he hummed as he walked: "I can't, there must be a lack of oxygen in here, I can't breathe."

"Be patient for now. I think the streets here are winding and up and down. In addition, the projection can be changed. If we don't follow the hunchbacked gentleman, we will easily get lost."

"If we get lost, will we be stuck here forever?" Nian Weiji recalled how he was trapped in the symptoms of ALS, and felt that this is also very possible: "But the projection will change, even if you make a mark, it is useless Well, how is your sense of direction?"

Wei Zixu frowned, just now he could vaguely see the tattered corners of the hunchbacked gentleman's clothes, but now there is no trace of the hunchbacked gentleman at all.The street deflected behind them, the stairs shot up into the sky, and shadowy shadows shifted shape and moved toward them.There were muffled snickers and running sounds across the wall, but they saw no one.

"Have you clicked [Tracking]? Now we can only try our luck." Wei Zixu asked the end of the year.

At the end of the year: "Of course not, how could I, a popular drama actor, [track]?"

Wei Zixu: "I didn't order it either, only the initial 10, but I'll give it a try, as long as it doesn't fail too much."

[Investigator Wells went through 'tracking', roll point result 1, great success, you found that the hunchbacked gentleman turned into the third fork from the left, and walked towards the tower in the center of the city. 】

"You're lucky!" Nian Weiji said pleasantly: "If it's a big success, at least we won't get lost, and we know that the steeple is called the Tower."

"Yeah." Wei Zixu also had a happy expression on his face, but the good mood of the two of them didn't last long, and the director's next speech made their hearts tighten.

[Staying in Karksari for half an hour, the investigator loses 1 sanity point. 】

"Tch," Wei Zixu seemed to hold back his swearing, and hurriedly ran to the third fork in the road: "It seems that staying in Carcosa City will continue to cause sanity, I'm fine, I can't save your san if you lose your san and become crazy with uncertainty, we have to find a way to get back as soon as possible."

They turned into the third fork, and sure enough, they found the back of the hunchbacked gentleman. He walked up the stairs madly, facing the blue lighted tower.

As they went deeper into Carcosa, the rotten smell around them became more obvious. Nian Wei had noticed that there were many downward stairs in the cracks of the building, and in the dark underground, it seemed that some broken bones were slowly wriggling. The city was like another tomb upon a tomb, full of death and decay.

"It would be nice if I continued to be trapped in madness, so I wouldn't have to see these horrible scenes."

At the end of the year, he heard someone talking in his ear, the voice was very similar to what he heard in ALS.He looked up and saw Wei Zixu walking in front of him holding his arm, Wei Zixu turned his back to him, but his face was facing Nian Weiyi, and his eyes were fixed on Nian Weiji. "Give me back my skin." The face opened slightly, the inside of the mouth was pitch black, and then his lower jaw fell off, tearing off a piece of Wei Zixu's skin, revealing the bloody flesh.

"Hmm!" Nian Weiji's whole body shook, but he suppressed it immediately. If he continued to lose sanity, the situation would be very unfavorable.

"What's wrong with you?" Wei Zixu turned around and asked, Nian Weiji looked at his face that looked exactly like a lunatic, and took a few deep breaths before calming down. "Director Wei, you said before that you sometimes see a vision of a woman in red, right? Can you still see it now?"

Wei Zixu thought for a while: "That's right, it's gone recently, it seems like it hasn't been since the third day."

After the third day of the new year, he didn't use "Demon" on Wei Zixu. It seems that the side effect of hallucinations was all transferred to him.

They followed the hunchbacked gentleman through increasingly crowded streets where space seemed to collapse, and sometimes they could see buildings they had just passed appear directly below them, as if they were walking along a wall.There was a neighing sound in the sky, and they looked up. Something in the night sky was flapping its wings above the city. They rushed out from the top of the tower and wandered around with strange screams.Nian Weiji squinted his eyes hard to see, but he still couldn't see the shape, he could only roughly see that it was something far beyond the size of a normal animal.A feather slowly fell on Nian Weiji's face, and he twirled it. It was a colorful feather shining with metallic luster.

"arrive."

Wei Zixu's words drew Nian Weiwei's attention back, the tower towered in front of their eyes, it was unimaginably high, and the top of the tower pointed directly at the black stars.The hunchbacked gentleman walked across the square in front of the tower, turned around and entered the narrow porch of the tower, his tattered clothes disappeared into the darkness.

Nian Weiji and Wei Zixu came to the gate of the tower, and now they are faced with two choices: one is to go into the tower to face the king in yellow and his envoy; the other is to stay outside the gate, forever in the city of Carcosa vagabond.
