Chosen Prophet [Unlimited]

The desert is boundless, with thousands of miles of yellow sand.

The gravel glows in the sun and looks like a burning flame when blown by the wind.

Duan Yi turned his head and noticed that the players in the prison had all come out by themselves.

Including Duan Yi himself, the nine players looked at each other in the desert, obviously they still hadn't recovered.

Especially the No. 10 girl and No. 6 Hu Jin who entered the prison first, they don't even have a half-knowledge of the plot of the dungeon.After coming out of the prison, they were directly brought into this desert by the system. Now the expressions of the two of them are similar to those of sleepwalking.

After sizing up the players, Duan Yi quickly rummaged around.

Dongfang Yu asked him first: "Do you want to find that painting?"

If everyone was still guessing before, now the system has clearly stated that the truth of the matter is indeed related to a painting.

Twelve souls are trapped in the picture scroll and suppressed by the Buddha statue.The picture scroll has traveled through 4000 years, and the twelve souls have also traveled through 4000 years.The three souls died with the player's death. Now after breaking the Buddha statue, there are only nine souls left who can walk out of the picture scroll.

——So, what does that painting look like now?

Hearing Dongfang Yu ask this question, Duan Yi sighed again that this girl is really smart.

Nodding to her, Duan Yi lowered his head and began to rummage in the sand.

After a while, he did find a painting.

This painting looks unremarkable, with a few strokes outlining three rooms, which look like a Buddhist hall, a tomb room, and a wedding hall. Some utensils are vaguely placed in it, but the whole is gray and lumpy, and it is impossible to tell that the painting is What.

Duan Yi lived in the world in the painting before he knew which piece was the coffin and which piece was the bone road.

Dongfang Yu walked up to Duan Yi, stretched out his hand and tried to touch the scroll, then frowned and said, "I don't feel anything. It stands to reason... those people in the real world should have touched the scroll before entering the painting of the world. Now this..."

"Our current setting is still the soul, and we haven't possessed the businessman according to the requirements of the system. Maybe after possessing the body, we have a physical body, and when we touch this painting again, what we see will be different." Duan Yi said. Then, put away the painting, "Let's wait and see, anyway, save this painting first, maybe it will be useful later."

As soon as Duan Yi finished speaking, the radio sounded again.

"There are still nine players alive now, and the system will arrange for another three players to join the caravan. In other words, there are 12 people in the caravan going to the capital, three of whom were not possessed, and nine of them were taken from 4000 years ago. Possessed by the undead that came through time.

"Just now the system gave the players a certain amount of time to rest. Please stay still, the system will update the player's outfit and body data, and adjust the time until nightfall."

When Duan Yi heard this, he didn't have a positive system this time, so he chose to stand still.

Afterwards he felt unconscious, as if he had been injected with a narcotic.

And when he regained consciousness, he saw that he had changed into an old cloth.

It was already night, there was a bonfire in front of him, and several pitched tents behind him.

After resting here for the night, they are about to leave for the capital.

"Three newly joined players, the number cards you need to draw are outside the camp, please select them immediately."

In this way, after another 10 minutes, the system said again: "The number plates have been drawn. Please enter the camp and join the other nine players."

"Twelve players officially loaded the copy of "Skull Wall". You need to find your own mission and complete it before you can pass the level.

"Four of the players were bewitched by evil forces to prevent you from completing the mission, including three ordinary werewolves and one [Shadow of Nightmare].

"The priesthood of the good camp includes prophet, witch, hunter, [dream catcher]; and four civilians.

"For details about the skills of each character, please check the tablet."

"The difficulty of the copy of "Skull Wall": Level 250. If you pass the level successfully, you can get [-] gold coins.

"Because there is no resort in the middle of this dungeon, an item store is specially placed in the caravan camp. At dawn tomorrow morning, when the caravan departs for the capital, the item store will disappear. Players can buy as needed, and pay attention to buying time.

"Have a nice game everyone!"

·

As soon as Duan Yi finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice. "Oh my God, isn't this Xiaolan! Xiaolan, my Xiaolan, woooooo, I finally see you!"

This, is Peng Cheng's voice?

Duan Yi turned around and saw a rather dramatic scene.

—— Wu Junlan happened to be standing at the gate of the camp, looking at the three new players.So Peng Cheng was the first to see her, and immediately shed two lines of tears as if seeing an old friend, and rushed towards Wu Junlan.

Wu Junlan dodged sideways in time, and with a "slap", Peng Cheng fell on his back into the yellow sand.

He lit a piece of wax for Peng Cheng in his heart, and Duan Yi walked towards him. Before he could say hello, he saw Peng Cheng get up from the ground and shouted to himself: "Oh my God! Brother Duan! This is My brother Duan!! I finally saw you, woo woo woo!"

Duan Yi opened his eyes wide, and soon after, Peng Cheng, who was covered in yellow sand, gave him a bear hug.

At that moment, he felt like he had eaten a mouthful of sand.

"I don't have the heart to let you fall into the mud again...Brother, you don't have to be so enthusiastic." Patting the visitor on the shoulder, Duan Yi wiped his sand-stained face and saw the sign hanging on Peng Cheng's chest It has the number "8" written on it.

Peng Cheng continued to "woo hoo" and said: "It's not too much enthusiasm, I'm too miserable! Seeing you and Xiaolan makes me feel at ease!"

The "Xiaolan" in his mouth came over now, and shook his head a little bit unbearably, "You big, tall, burly man is pulling Duan Yi to act like a baby... This style of painting is really weird."

Peng Cheng quickly retorted: "I'm tall on the outside, but I'm delicate on the inside! Xiaolan, have you always misunderstood me?!"

Duan Yi smiled and said nothing, then looked at the other two players.

One of them was actually an acquaintance - Bai Sinian whom he met in "The Labyrinth".I think he played pretty well.Last time he was number 5, this time he is still number 5.

Following Duan Yi's gaze, Peng Cheng hooked Duan Yi's neck and said in a low voice, "I didn't dare to take the number 5, and I snatched an '8' first. Hey, I didn't expect that kid to take it. We can wax him now."

In fact, Duan Yi thinks that the so-called "unlucky number 5" is not a real metaphysical incident.

The mechanism of this game is like this - if one player is missing, the system will fill in one; if two are missing, two will be filled.

Tomorrow in the first dungeon, the knife will be aimed at No. 5, and the people who enter later will be arranged by him, so the probability that the scum who enters later will get No. 5 and be attacked tomorrow is very high .

As for Gu Liang and Yang Ye, it was purely for acting needs, and they deliberately faked their deaths.

Combining these reasons, everyone has the illusion that "player No. 5 is easy to die".

So Duan Yi said something to Peng Cheng: "He won the number 5 last time. So you have to believe in science and not superstition."

"Fuck, we came to this weird world, you told me not to be superstitious?" Peng Cheng was shocked.

"Yes, I believe this is a world full of science." Duan Yi said quietly.

Peng Cheng was stunned: "Really? This couldn't be a game designed by aliens! What is it going to do to us earthlings? Brother Duan, I'm afraid, I'm really afraid...you say it's a metaphysics force Horrible? Or are aliens scary?"

Duan Yi thought for a while, and replied seriously: "Everything boils down to metaphysics. Maybe the gods in our myths and legends are aliens. Don't you study history? Think about it..."

Peng Cheng hugged Duan Yi's arm in horror: "Hey, there's a bonfire here, let's get some wine and have a good chat?"

Duan Yi struggled to pull out his hand and walked deep into the camp. "There are item stores and so many tents in this camp. In fact, it can barely be regarded as a resort area for us to rest for a day. Although the status will still be drawn at 10 o'clock in a while-but it doesn't prevent me from taking a shower now. Stay in the tomb After so many days, I have to take a bath. I will find you later to catch up with you!"

Duan Yi was right.This system is not too perverted.Although the time is set 4000 years ago and the location is in the desert, the tents are numbered, and the furnishings in the camp are similar to those of standard hotel rooms. Most importantly, there are bathrooms.

Usually Duan Yi is a person who takes a bath very quickly.But this time he climbed the stinky bone cave, stayed in the dusty tomb for so many days, and fought several times. The smell on his body is really hard to describe. He took a bath this time for an extra long time.

After taking a bath for almost an hour, and rubbing off a layer of skin on his body, Duan Yi finally felt that he had to rub his body clean.

After washing the clothes and digging out the clean clothes from the box for a change, he had to go and throw away his dirty clothes.And at the moment when he picked up the dirty clothes, Duan Yi couldn't help but let out a "vomit."

Then the only thought in his mind was - so smelly, Xiaotian can still hug me and kiss me, this child really loves me.In the future, I must love this child more.

After taking a shower, the time is 9 o'clock in the evening.

Duan Yi first went to the prop store to buy props.

He mainly bought anti-attack umbrellas, and after buying them, he put them all into a backpack and carried them on his back.

He likes the monsters and ghosts in the positive dungeon, and he is very self-aware about this.So after thinking about it, he still felt that the black umbrella was the most economical and useful for him.

After taking a shower and buying props, Duan Yi went to have dinner.

Next to the bonfire in the camp, there are NPCs roasting lamb legs.He was the cook in the caravan.In addition to lamb shank, he actually made yogurt for everyone.

Duan Yi came over and asked for a bowl of yogurt to taste, but he couldn't accept the taste, so he gave up.Fortunately, the lamb shank was okay.It was the best meal he had had in recent days.

The action lines of the other players are similar to Duan Yi's. They are basically gathering around the campfire and eating lamb legs.

During the few days in the tomb, no one had a good meal.At this moment, one by two are like hungry wolves pouncing on food, and most of the girls also let go of their restraint, and one by one is stronger than the other.

The only one who still nibbled on mutton was girl No. 10.She took a bite of the mutton and looked at Hong Xian affectionately.This situation made Duan Yi wonder whether Hong Xian had played a trick on her.

Taking advantage of dinner, Duan Yi finally got the names of all his teammates.

The tall girl No. 2 is the guard of the previous round. Her name is Dou Shuang.

No. 3 short witch named Tong Nian.

The girl on the 10th who is obsessed with Hong Xian is Tang Xiao.

Finally, among the three new players, the one that Duan Yi doesn't know is called Yun Hao, he is a business man, and he takes the number 9.

·

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Duan Yi returned to camp No. 7.

It's time to claim your identity again.

This time his identity is [Civilian].

After reading the ID card, Duan Yi was a little serious.

He always felt that this board was not particularly conducive to good people.

First of all, the werewolf camp's Nightmare Shadow's ability is indeed very strong.

Nightmare Shadow can scare a player every night, and the scared player cannot use skills that night.

A nightmare shadow that can sip the gods is so powerful that the priesthood of the prophet is likely to be reduced to a decoration.

Shadow of Nightmare has only two restrictions. First, he and his wolf teammates do not know each other's identities on the first night. If he intimidates the wolf teammates, then all werewolves cannot kill anyone that night; second, he cannot intimidate his teammates for two consecutive nights. a player.

Secondly, the dream catchers of the good camp are too skilled.

The dream-taker's skill is that he can select a player every night to put him in a "sleepwalking" state, immune to all damage during the night; but if the dream-taker is killed, the sleepwalker he chooses will die with him.

The dream catcher does have the function of protecting the prophet, but if he is unfortunate enough to be stabbed, it will be the death of two gods, which is very detrimental to good people.So one way to get the dream catcher is to attack and kill werewolves instead of defending and protecting good people.

The player who becomes a sleepwalker for two consecutive nights will die; the dreamer himself dies, and the sleepwalker will also die; therefore, in the online killing, the dreamer can use these two characteristics to kill the werewolf, he has the sleepwalking werewolf , not good people.

But in this game, is the dreamer willing to go to prison with the werewolf?This is not necessarily the case.

All in all, this card has rich and varied gameplay, but if the player is too good, the good player is likely to collapse quickly.

The overall situation is not good for good people, not to mention that Duan Yi himself is holding a civilian card.

After comprehensive analysis, he decided that it is better to explore the dungeon as soon as possible.

Regarding the clearance conditions of the copy, the system will not tell the player at the beginning.Then finding this clearance condition as soon as possible and holding this information in your hands alone is a good opportunity to take the initiative.

·

At [-]:[-] a.m. the next day, twelve players dressed as caravans and rode camels to the capital.

The one who led the way was the cooking NPC, his name was Aga.

Riding a camel to his side, Duan Yi asked him for news. "Is there any news from the capital recently? For example, Princess Loulan, how is she?"

"Princess? I heard that she is going to get married? I don't know the details. I have been away from here for half a year. But..." Aga thought for a while, and then said, "There is one strange thing, do you listen? ?”

"Listen! Let's listen!" Players followed one after another, taking the time to find out the news.

Aga said: "I heard it from hearsay, and I don't know if it's true or not. It is said that our king has a magical painting that can see the future?"

Duan Yi pretended not to know, and asked, "How did you see it?"

"In the beginning, a boss picked it up and said it was dug out of the sand. I know that person, and I will introduce it to you later." Aga said, "He said that when he came across that painting, it seemed that a world appeared around him... That world is translucent and can overlap with the objects around him, which is very magical. He said that he can't see such a spectacle every time, only occasionally.

"Anyway, he could see people in the painting, and sometimes those people were moving. But when he wanted to look carefully, he couldn't see them again. Besides, when the world of the picture scroll unfolded in front of him, he found himself in a strange place. In his room, he said, there was a picture on the wall of a veiled girl passing the market, and a general looking at her.

"Later, guess what? He had forgotten about it at first, but once he was at the door of the store, he really saw that picture-in the market, a general fell in love with a veiled girl at first sight, and he was like the girl in the picture. Exactly the same!"

Isn’t the painting that Aga is talking about the first encounter between Princess Loulan and the general?

So, the boss who picked up this painting has ever seen the world in the painting?

It's just that the way he saw the painting didn't really enter the painting, he just felt the scroll unfold a new world in front of him by touching it.This new world is translucent, overlapping with the reality he is in, like a mirage, and also like an illusion that is half-real and half-fake, it is unattainable.

Duan Yi hurriedly asked: "What happened after that?"

"Later..." Aga scratched his head, "he told people everywhere that the painting could predict the future, and this matter spread to the palace. Our national teacher will practice witchcraft, I heard Wang asked someone to take away the painting and gave it to the National Teacher for further study. Ah, that's all I know!"

Aga has been away from the capital for a long time, and this time he is serving as a guide and cook to bring the caravan back. His mission this year will be considered complete.He's just a little guy running errands and doesn't know any more information.

After finding out nothing, Duan Yi rode the camel alone.

While Aga was not paying attention on the way, he took out the dusty scroll and covered it with his finger—nothing happened.

When he picked up this painting yesterday, Duan Yi's setting was soul. He thought it was because of this that he couldn't see the world in the painting.At that time, he thought that after being possessed, with flesh and blood, he might see something different when he touched the scroll again.

But now it seems that the world in the painting cannot be easily seen.As Aga said, at that time the boss could only occasionally let the world in the painting "unfold" before his eyes.

What is going on with this painting, and what is the condition that triggers the world in the painting, maybe we will not know until we go deep into the capital.

The road to the capital is not too far away. After riding a camel for about two hours, a group of people arrived at the gate of the capital.

The city wall is very simple, basically a row of earthen walls.

After walking in, Duan Yi found that the atmosphere in the city was very strange—everyone's expression was very sad.Other than that, they were all dressed in white, and some even wore white cloaks over their heads.

Duan Yi called Aga and asked him to help find out what happened.

Aga left as he said, and when he came back, he also cried.

While crying, he said, "The princess... actually died, and she died on the wedding night. Not only that, but her body was gone. This is too scary! I don't know if we have offended some god... ...Will the sky kill me, Loulan!"

Duan Yi turned over and got off the camel, and asked him, "Why did you say you offended the gods?"

Aga knelt down trembling all over his body, kowtowed several times to the sky and guessed: "They said... the gods sent a world. He hid the world in a painting. That world opened up in front of the general, Steal the princess' body! This is because we offended the gods, and he wants to punish us... He took away the princess who is so important to us. It's over, everything is over..."

"Don't scare me!"

A loud shout came suddenly.After saying this, someone kicked Aga to the ground. He pointed the spear in his hand at Duan Yi and the others, but he said to the surrounding people watching, "Anyone who spreads rumors indiscriminately , cut! The Loulan people did not offend the gods! This is obviously caused by a villain. He killed my Princess Loulan and robbed her body. Everyone has to punish him!

"As for the talk of a new world, it's pure nonsense! The so-called weird picture scrolls are all tricks created by evil people. They're illusions!"

Speaking of this, facing Duan Yi, the man said fiercely: "You foreign businessmen are very suspicious. Come back to the barracks with me now! Our general will interrogate you personally!"

Duan Yi and the other twelve players did not resist, and followed the lieutenant to the barracks outside the city.

The desert was scorched by the sun, and the taste of stepping on it was really bad, so Duan Yi had to endure it for the time being.

When he looked back, Wu Junlan's eyes were red, tears were shed on the 2nd and 3rd, and Peng Cheng even burst into tears.

Frowning, Duan Yi turned his head, thinking about the connection of these two dungeons.

At the beginning, he was still guessing whether it was possible that they traveled through 4000 years just to save Princess Loulan's life.

But now he finds out that the princess is not only dead, but her body has been stolen.

——From this point of view, this plot can indeed be connected with the previous dungeon plot.

Because the princess's body was indeed robbed, it was still robbed by him.

Without the suppression of the Buddha statue, the souls left the painting, but the princess's body and other things remained on the painting.

Therefore, everything that happened in the scroll is indeed related to the history of the real world.

Since there is a "boss" to pick up the painting.Then it can be assumed that when he picked up the painting, the scroll had already passed through.And at that point in time, twelve souls had already been sealed in the painting.

Later, he saw the picture of the veiled girl and the general falling in love at first sight, and found that the painting had a magical effect, so he told the story.This painting was presented to King Loulan.

Then it is reasonable to infer a timeline that connects all events together.

1. Twelve archaeologists died, and someone sealed their souls in the painting.

2. The picture scroll traveled back to 4000 years ago and was picked up by the boss.

3. When the general and princess met for the first time, the boss noticed that the painting was unusual, so the painting was dedicated to King Loulan.

4. The general made a marriage proposal. On the day of his proposal, a maid entered the magical world through the painting, and then chanted a spell to leave and return to reality.

5. The general married the princess, and the princess died.

6. During the burial of the princess, the body was snatched away by people from the world in the painting.

7. In the end, I don't know what happened, and the scroll was lost to the desert again.The souls in the painting get rid of the seal and come to reality, passing through a caravan of 12 people, nine souls possessed nine merchants, and followed them to the capital.

What is the secret of this 4000-year scroll, how the dead bride can guide the player, why she has no face... these things will only be known later.

Now Duan Yi is very curious about what kind of role this general plays in the story.

The author has something to say: Ah, I saw some comments saying that yesterday's chapter was a bit dizzy.

Then let me explain.

Yesterday's chapter was divided into two parts. One part is to interpret what happened to the archaeological team and how the painting came from from Baiqiu's perspective.

In the second part, there are several flashbacks from 4000 years ago, corresponding to the player's actions one by one.

For example, Duan Yi once wanted to pull the bride out of the painting, but Huangsha attacked him.

It was written in the last chapter that because the bride was afraid, she threw the painting in the desert and buried it, so the sand fell into it.

These fragments are only flashbacks, suggesting a correspondence, not fully restored.There is still half of the story that has not been restored, you have to read this copy.So if you don't understand here, please wait for this copy to be decrypted.

If you don’t understand the part about Baiqiu, let me sum it up again. A long time ago, Xiaohua picked up a pen similar to Ma Liang’s magic pen; then he sealed two holes with the pen and starved 9 teammates to death. ;Baiqiu knew that he had this pen and guessed his intention, so he missed the trick and didn't enter the hole, and he pulled a teammate casually and didn't let him in, so 9 people died in the hole; the other 3 people, Xiaohua , Baiqiu, the one rescued by Baiqiu is in Xitang.

Xiaohua reproduced many scenes on the scroll, and was killed by Baiqiu when he was about to paint the bride.The painting sucked away the soul, and Baiqiu repainted the Buddhist hall to suppress the soul; he also repainted the mechanism of the Buddhist hall, because only he knew what magic weapon each of the four kings should hold, and he wanted to be the only one who could be in the world in the painting. The person who walks around and can marry a princess.

The four paintings in the tomb were also painted by Baiqiu (the four pictures of first encounter, courtship, marriage, and burial).
