These few people were not the only ones who lost their minds in the high pressure and despair. The extreme negative emotions, like a virus more destructive than Hypnos, quickly swept through the entire manor.

This originally peaceful and beautiful place quickly turned into a purgatory.

Under the catalysis of collapse and impulse, someone set fire to the granary. In order to compete for the remaining food, even those who had good intentions were forced to take up arms.

In the few hours from early morning to sunrise, things intensified, and finally it became a situation where everyone was in danger, and the first reaction to seeing someone was to attack and hide.

The entire dungeon has truly become a doomsday battle royale.

Lu Minyao, Yu Yunan, and Xiaojia all showed symptoms of ossification to varying degrees. The player who saved Yu Yunan claimed to be Cao Jiu. He said that he had received the news and wanted to attend the player meeting, but fell asleep after drinking too much.

He obviously looked like he was not sober, but for the sake of saving Yu Yunan, Mo Jue still believed him for the time being.

Since the launch of the Aksha game, obviously not everyone has faced it as positively as Shen Yongle and others, and there are still some people who are not firm enough and have chosen to muddle along from the very beginning.

Cao Jiu is obviously one of the representatives. He eats and waits for death every day, and spends his days in depression... He even got to the C level all the way.

Mo Jue brought them all back to Aphra's mansion, because the dungeon was in a special situation, the Lord deliberately asked them about their backgrounds on the way.

As expected, Lu Minyao was a firefighter.

Yu Yunan was a single mother with a successful career, but she didn't find anyone she wanted to spend her life with. She went for IVF to conceive simply because she wanted a child.

Her tone was a little sad: "If I knew I was going to bring her here, I shouldn't have let her come to this world to suffer..."

Lu Minyao obviously wanted to persuade her, but then she changed the subject, "But if there is no Xiaojia... I might not be able to persist here."

Mo Jue didn't say anything, he was already quite at ease with these two people, and the main thing he wanted to ask was Cao Jiu who appeared out of nowhere.

Cao Jiu scratched his head and said, "I'm a melancholy and handsome alcoholic."

The remaining three looked at him.

Cao Jiu seemed to know that he couldn't gain trust by saying this, but he didn't have any intention of joining the crowd, but seeing that the three of them looked at him, he thought about it again, then gave up and explained: "Hey, I'm just a The useless rich second generation, who can't do anything, can't learn anything, it's all because of dad's money that he can grow up so nonsense."

He spread his hands, "My dad came in before me, and then 'overstressed and jumped to his death', and after his death, he was in the newspapers for a week."

"I didn't know anything at the time. I thought he was being persecuted by a subordinate, and made a lot of jokes..."

After he said a few words, everyone could hear the bitterness and growth behind it. Cao Jiu had a clear self-awareness from the beginning, and it was obvious that he grew up overnight from that moment.

"Later, I came in too..."

He took a sip of his wine, paused before continuing, "I've always felt that even someone as good as my dad can't break through this shitty game, I'm still struggling!"

He said it casually, as if he had already seen it, and there was nothing sad about it, but after listening to it, Lu Minyao and Yu Yunan both showed some unbearable expressions.

The few people didn't delay too much. During the conversation, not only did they not stop, but they also made a lot of arrangements to block the way, and soon returned to the mansion to join Shen Yongle, and shared the information on both sides.

Only then did everyone know how much Le Shen and Sir Alex had done in the day when they disappeared.

Yu Yunan was quite surprised when he first saw Shen Yongle who was ill, and even couldn't help being a little pessimistic about the prospect of this dungeon.

Like many Aksha players, for some reason, Shen Yongle seems to have a different meaning in their hearts, as if as long as he is around, there is hope for clearing the level.

But now, even Leshen is about to fall...

Fortunately, Shen Yongle quickly helped her rebuild her confidence with a series of powerful discoveries.

After waiting for Shen Yongle to finish speaking, Lu Minyao told him and the Sir about the situation in the manor.

"Everyone's mood is already very bad," Lu Minyao said, "Xue Miaoxuan was taken away by them during the day, so it should have been..."

He didn't continue talking, but instead said, "Zhou Yang and Wu Xinyu seem to have developed ossification, and have already hid in Lin Jinyue's house before. We went around and knocked on the door just now, but no one came to open it."

Cao Jiu shrugged, as if not surprised: "Probably because I know I made a mistake and dare not meet people."

"Hey, this dungeon is still like this..."

He had never heard of Shen Yongle's conjecture, but it seemed that he had thought of something with Le Shen from the very beginning.

The decadent rich second generation shook his head and sighed, "Human nature really can't stand the test..."

Shen Yongle's complexion was a little gloomy, and he paused slightly upon hearing this.

Yu Yunan still didn't want to understand: "But if the ossification is caused by the pollution of the water source, why does it suddenly intensify?"

Lu Minyao thought for a while: "Could it be Aksha's manipulation? It knows that there are players who have cracked the main line, so it deliberately advances the progress?"

"No!" Shen Yongle seemed to have suddenly figured something out, came back to his senses, and interrupted them loudly.

He had some difficulty speaking, so he could only put it simply, "The chaos we are experiencing now is actually the main line."

Several people present were taken aback.

Shen Yongle looked up at Cao Jiu, "You just said - human nature."

Mo Jue paused suddenly, and reacted slowly.

Shen Yongle raised his eyes and exchanged a look with him.

He finally realized that they were still being tricked by Akesha.

What the name of the main line is from beginning to end is not about Aphra being quietly abused—it’s about this doomsday battle royale.

What "Rhythm Zero" reveals is that human nature is inherently evil.

This is the main thread of the copy.

The whole story is actually a step-by-step breakdown of the order of the manor.

The so-called "infection" of zombosis is simply because the people in the entire manor drank the water containing the Hypnos potion.

Because everyone's physique is different, and the amount of water they drink every day is also different, so the onset occurs successively.

Sir Alex probably had a relatively late onset because of his good physical fitness or a certain degree of drug resistance; Cao Jiu had no symptoms because he had never drank water and had been drinking all the time.

And schizophrenia...doesn't even need treatment.

——Aphra can recover her mobility a little bit, which means that as long as the drug is stopped, ossification can be recovered.

Shen Yongle raised her eyes and looked out the window: "The reason why ossification is getting worse now... is because the way it spreads is not just water."

Yu Yunan and the others haven't figured it out yet, but Mo Jue has already explained it.

"It's air."

The three of Lu Minyao were startled, and after a while they finally thought of something, and couldn't help but gasped.

Yu Yunan covered her mouth, and said with some unacceptable: "You mean... because Aphra was burned to death...?"

Shen Yongle blinked: "Yes."

If everyone calmed down and discovered the problem at that time, in fact, as long as they found a way to purify the water source, all diseases would recover naturally.

But because of the misunderstanding of hunting witches, everyone burned Aphra to death, and the burning of the body polluted the air...

People can stop drinking water for a while, but it is impossible not to breathe for a moment. This time, everyone finally started to get infected.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, a little unacceptable.

The barrage is also very embarrassing. If you ignore the elements of the game, this is completely the end of a human being going to destruction on its own.

Aphra's fate was changed because of the maid's mental illness. In the whole story, she is the only one who is completely innocent.

Afterwards, whether it was the villainous servants in the original story who bullied Aphra wantonly while Aphra was unable to move, or the Wanjia who acted preemptively for no reason because he was afraid of the boss's revenge... they were all self-inflicted.

There was never any other intentional poisoner.

It is they who make everyone sick.

"Then..." Yu Yunan covered his mouth, and looked at Shen Yongle tremblingly after a while, "Is it stuck now?"

"Are we... already hopeless?"

Shen Yongle frowned, but didn't speak for a while.

Suddenly there was a loud "bang" outside the window.

Mo Jue was taken aback, and turned his head to look in that direction instantly: "It's gunshots."

Lu Minyao also nodded: "Yes, there are shotguns in the manor, but there should not be many of them. They are used to drive away wild animals. During our discussion that night, we said that we should find a chance to get the shotgun first. It stands to reason that the gun has already been shot. It should all be in the player's hands..."

Yu Yunan frowned slightly: "Is that because some players are in danger?"

"It's not like that," Lu Minyao shook his head, "The dangers that can be solved with a single shot can usually be solved without firing a shot." After all, with a hot weapon in hand, it is already enough to deter these ordinary serfs.

What's more, everyone knows that shooting is tantamount to directly exposing one's position and hole cards. Others who need food and weapons will lock their targets here. As soon as the gunshots fall, they will instantly become the target of public criticism.

Cao Jiu glanced over there and shrugged, "Hey, that means some player committed suicide."

He seemed to be able to understand the other person very well, and said with empathy, "Playing this shitty game is stressful, if it wasn't for my coward who didn't dare to commit suicide, maybe I would have liberated myself a long time ago..."

Mo Jue has a good sense of direction, and quickly judged that it was the direction of Lin Jinyue's house before.

Well, if someone really couldn't bear the pressure and committed suicide, it was probably Wu Xinyu or Zhou Yang.

The two of them probably have already discovered the problem, knowing that they made the wrong choice, which may lead to a dead end in the entire dungeon. In addition, they found that they also started to get sick, and the pressure accumulated since entering the doomsday game finally completely collapsed their psychological defenses... …

The barrage on Shen Yongle's side also quickly discovered this point. The audience is a third-party perspective, and sometimes it is easier to understand the map than people in the game.

Knowing that the difficulty of the game has increased again, many people are scolding teammates, but they are silent for a while.

After all, everyone is an Aksha player. If some people put themselves in their shoes, they may not be able to do better than them...

Barrage: [Hey, it's not easy...]

But obviously there are still some bullet screens who hold different opinions: [No way, even if they didn't do it on purpose when they hunted the witch, they did it on purpose by not opening the door just now! ]

[Yes, I wanted to say that when these two drove Lin Jinyue away, it was obviously selfish...]

[It is reasonable to guess that when the Lord Sir and the others came looking for them just now, Wu Xinyu and Zhou Yang did not open the door because they had guns in their hands and thought they were safe. ]

[In other words... Wu Xinyu and Zhou Yang collapsed and committed suicide after they got sick because they didn't know that schizophrenia can heal itself as long as they isolate the source of pollution because they rejected Sir Alex and the others? ]

[Ah... Isn't that consistent with the story this dungeon wants to tell? ]

[I knew I would get to this point, why didn't I open the door before?If I knew that Hypnos would make everyone sick, why did I abuse Aphra before? ]

[It's all my own death. ]

[I always feel that in this dungeon, there is a feeling that AI is mocking human beings... All the doomsdays are caused by human beings. ]

Shen Yongle actually also felt this way.

Even because he is in it, his feelings will be stronger than the barrage.

Whether this dungeon or the Aksha game, are they all the same?

Is this story... really just a story?

Or is it actually alluding to reality?

Is the "doomsday" that mankind is encountering now also a kind of self-inflicted blame?
