Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

2301, Linekong City, in the matching test center.

Zhou Qian and Bai Zhou, Yindao and He Xiaowei, the four players were divided into groups of two, and all received dungeon suggestions from the machine.

Among the dungeons that can be brushed together by the two groups and will be released in Linekong City in the near future, the most suitable dungeon is the one called "Red God Banquet".

"Red God Banquet" will open in two days.

After the four were selected, they received such news——

[The dungeon in the game also knows how to find someone who is destined, you chose it, and it also chose you.Your act of selecting a copy in the testing center has fully demonstrated your trust in the system, and the system hereby attaches a reminder]

[Prohibition to be observed: 1. It is not allowed to walk around Tara counterclockwise; 2. You cannot spend the night in a house where the fire can still be seen from the window after sunset (Note)]

[For more prohibitions, please explore in the dungeon]

The four did not leave after that, they went to the rest area of ​​the testing center.There are lounge chair swings and automated merchandisers, which are, of course, as outrageously expensive as the ones in the homicide exhibit.

Ever since his life was saved by Zhou Qian, He Xiaowei, who was usually a bit picky, became extra generous to him.

Seeing Zhou Qian sitting on the recliner at this moment, he took the initiative to ask courteously: "Qian'er, do you want to drink Coke? With ice? Or at room temperature?"

Zhou Qian shook his head resolutely: "I don't drink this kind of fat house happy water. You should drink less too. I haven't seen you for a day, and you're getting fat again."

He Xiaowei curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "Qian'er, don't bring such a thing. Didn't I score higher than you once? As for hurting me like this? You've always treated me badly! Are we still brothers?"

Zhou Qian looked at him seriously: "I didn't hurt you, I did it for your own good. My college roommate had three bottles of Coke a day, and he became diabetic after a month."

He Xiaowei: "..."

After a long while, He Xiaowei still poured down a bottle of coke with his head up, and said comfortingly after finishing, "I don't drink it every day. Besides, Qian'er, you don't drink this one, you don't eat that one, and you refuse all the barbecue fried chicken. , how can life be interesting?"

"Really? I find it very interesting to play with villains, NPCs, or teammates occasionally. Besides—" Zhou Qian smiled and looked at Bai Zhou beside him, "What's the matter if you don't drink Coke? I have a boyfriend."

Firstly, He Xiaowei didn't understand the logic of Zhou Qian's words, and secondly, he was so shocked that he didn't react at all for a moment.

After a long while, he realized what Zhou Qian was talking about, and immediately spit out the unswallowed Coke from his mouth.

"What the hell? You like guys, Qian'er? Your boyfriend? Who? No, we're all reading books. Where did you find the time to fall in love?"

On the side, the hidden knife held his forehead.

He Xiaowei turned to look at him in surprise and asked, "Master, do you know?"

Hidden Knife: "..."

Zhou Qian didn't look at He Xiaowei again, but silently glanced at the gate.

They've been here for a long time, but they haven't seen the rest of the god-level players at all.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Qian looked at Bai Zhou beside him again, and asked, "I'll go to the single-player dungeon in a while?"

Bai Zhou took his hand. "Before you go, do one thing with me."

Zhou Qian asked him, "What's the matter?"

Bai Zhou didn't answer for the time being, but just pulled him to stand up.After that, the two left the testing center all the way and went back to the seaside villa.

After a long time, He Xiaowei glanced at the backs of the two of them, and asked Yindao in great surprise: "Ah? Oh! I see! The boyfriend Qianer mentioned, could it be him?"

Hidden Knife: "...otherwise?"

·

After walking for 20 minutes, the two returned to the seaside villa.

Bai Zhou squeezed a glass of orange juice for Zhou Qian, handed it to him, and asked, "The book you lost is quite dangerous. Did you see the clearance rate? It's only 15%."

"The customs clearance rate is low, but the return is high. Through this book, I can greatly improve the basic attributes. This saves time. I will finish the book quickly, and I will still have time to go to the "Red God Banquet" with you."

At this point, Zhou Qian smiled. After taking a sip of the juice, he raised his eyelids and looked at Bai Zhou who was opposite him. He asked in a drawn-out voice, "Brother Zhou, are you worried about me?"

Of course Zhou Qian also knew what he was asking was nonsense.

But he just fooled Bai Zhou to say something like he was really worried about himself.

Bai Zhou asked Zhou Qian, "Where's your previous scale?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qian took out the scale that could be used as a medium to enter Bai Zhou's spiritual realm, he was so stupid, and asked, "By the way, didn't you say before that there is a scale in the testing center?" Is it a formal ceremony?"

"Yes. 30% is the minimum matching degree requirement. If it is higher than 30%, god-level players and shepherds can enter the running-in period, but until the matching degree reaches 65%, a formal ceremony can be held to completely complete the binding."

Bai Zhou pointed to the scale that Zhou Qian just took out, "After the ceremony, this scale can enter the inside of your forehead, and at that time, you can use your skills to enter my spiritual domain."

Zhou Qian: "So, we can't hold the ceremony yet."

Bai Zhou: "Yes. After finishing "Red God Banquet", it should be almost 65%."

"I understand. Before that, I can't enter and leave your mental domain at will. I have to take out this medium scale and put it on my forehead every time."

Zhou Qian asked again, "Then you asked me to take out this scale now, do you want to...?"

Bai Zhou: "Now, enter my spiritual domain."

Putting the scales on his forehead, Zhou Qian took Bai Zhou's hand and entered his spiritual realm again.

The last time he came here, there was darkness as far as he could see, and there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood everywhere.

It was okay this time, as soon as he came in, he arrived at a clean and warm room.

Zhou Qian quickly recognized where it was - Bai Zhou's bedroom.

Back then, Bai Zhou left without saying goodbye, and Zhou Qian went to find him when he had lost his temper. At that time, his bedroom was gone, and it was used by his mother to decorate a new baby room.

But before that, Zhou Qian and Bai Zhou often stayed in this bedroom together, playing games, doing homework, making noise, this bedroom recorded a lot of their past.

Bai Zhou's parents are busy and are often not at home, so in a sense, Bai Zhou's home is also another small world for the two of them to be alone.At that time, Bai Zhou often cooked Zhou Qian his favorite food at home.

"It's nice to see this bedroom again."

At that moment, after Zhou Qian sat on Bai Zhou's bed, he only said this, and didn't say too much about the fact that this bedroom has been transformed into a baby's room in reality.

But Bai Zhou already understood something from his words.

However, Bai Zhou didn't ask much about his parents' current situation.He just spread his hands, and a dark blue scale formed out of the palm of his hand a moment later.

Zhou Qian was curious: "This is?"

Bai Zhou: "I got this by sharing some of my spiritual power. Do you still remember those three little dragons?"

Zhou Qian blinked: "Huh? I remember! So this—"

Bai Zhou took Zhou Qian's hand, and put his palm on the scale.

In this way, the two people's fingers intertwined, and what was tightly clamped in the middle was a dark blue flood scale.

Bai Zhou said: "I'm still not at ease if you go alone. This scale can be brought in by you as a prop. Now it is absorbing the spiritual power of both of us. At that time, as the product of the fusion of our spiritual power, it can Take shape."

"I originally thought that you were going to make a clone for me. Well, now it seems that according to what you said... you will make our child come out?"

After Zhou Qian said this without hesitation, he continued to tease Bai Zhou and said, "Brother Zhou, what did you do to me last night? Why am I about to have a baby?"

After being silent for a while, Bai Zhou leaned forward and asked in Zhou Qian's ear, "Really? Between the two of us, who is the one with extraordinary talent?"

He, what he said is not implying that he just let himself... with his fingers?

Zhou Qian turned his head and asked instead: "When will Xiaolong come out?"

Bai Zhou glanced at him indifferently: "Wait a little longer."

Zhou Qian: "Oh."

Bai Zhou: "Don't worry."

Zhou Qian: "I'm not in a hurry. How can you be in a hurry about having a baby?"

Bai Zhou: "..."

"Zhou Qian?"

"Ok?"

"Concentrate. That's not going to work."

"I know, I know."

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Qian held a scale that could summon dragons, and he and Bai Zhou came out of the spiritual realm, and walked towards a place called "Purple Mist Mountain".

It took about another 20 minutes, and the two came to the foot of the mountain.

The mountain was covered by clouds and mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

A small road was built before the foot of the mountain.

The path extends to the side of the road, and wooden fences and gates are built on the side. There is a notice board on the gate: "There are monsters coming and going in Ziwu Mountain recently. Citizens, please be careful and don't enter here at will!"

In this way, this notice board can be regarded as isolating ordinary NPCs who are citizens.

As soon as Bai Zhou walked to the notice board, he received a line of prompts——

[Continue to move forward to the dungeon area; god-level players with 137 levels are too high and cannot enter]

Zhou Qian walked all the way to the entrance unimpeded, then he turned his head and waved to Bai Zhou with a smile: "Don't worry. I'll be right out."

Bai Zhou: "After entering, immediately summon the little dragon. This is different from last time. You can cultivate it, train it, make it a powerful follower, and keep it with you all the time."

"it is good."

Zhou Qian waved to Bai Zhou again, turned around without any hesitation, and stepped into the entrance without hesitation.

As soon as he entered the entrance, Zhou Qian received a prompt to load the copy.

[Player Zhou Qian loads a single copy: Ziwu Mountain]

【Purple Mist Mountain has been occupied by strange monsters recently. When the citizens passed by this mountain, they were all killed. The citizens in the surrounding area were panic-stricken, and no one dared to come again.I hope that you, who are kind, can get rid of the monsters here and help Ziwu Mountain restore peace]

[According to the incomplete statistics of the "Anomaly Investigation Bureau" of Langang City, at least 30 people died here, and none survived; only one victim tried to escape from Ziwu Mountain and rushed to the hospital, but he was still unable to be rescued , also died.Before he died, he left a message - the monster here seems to be a father and son]

[Exploration is about to begin, kill the monsters in Ziwu Mountain to pass the level]

【Clear rate: 15%】

[Player Zhou Qian: I wish you a smooth game]

After seeing the prompt, Zhou Qian took out the scales from his luggage, and sure enough, he summoned a little dragon.

The little blue dragon landed on the ground with a "Peng", opened its round eyes, raised its tail high, then curled it up and stretched it out in front of its body, and gently rubbed against Zhou Qian, as if testing whether it could get close to its master.

Seeing this, Zhou Qian bent down, touched its head with a smile, and hugged it with one hand.

Feeling the closeness of his master, Xiaolong seemed very happy.

After a sound of "嘻", it leaned forward and touched Zhou Qian's neck affectionately, then jumped onto Zhou Qian's shoulder, and sat down in a well-behaved manner.

"I still feel that this is Brother Zhou's avatar. He must be worried about me and embarrassed to say." Touching Xiaolong's head, Zhou Qian asked, "Otherwise... Brother Zhou, can you see me?"

Xiaolong: "Huh?"

Zhou Qian patted it on the head, didn't say anything, just took out another thing and held it in his hand - his weapon, God's Rib.

This kind of weapon has a skill that Zhou Qian has never used before-cultivating bone spirits and summoning bone spirits.

When unlocking the skill, he tried it once, but failed.

He wondered if there were other hidden conditions for Yu to successfully cultivate bone spirits, which the system did not tell him.

After all, to cultivate bone spirits, players need to consume their own life points to raise them.

But Zhou Qian's current health is still very low, which belongs to the lowest level of S-level.

I don't know if he will be able to have a real bone spirit after finishing the book this time and after the various attributes have been greatly improved.

Sitting on his left shoulder was a little dragon, and holding the divine bone in his right hand, Zhou Qian walked towards Ziwu Mountain step by step.

Both sides of the path leading to the foot of the mountain were covered in fog. Zhou Qian checked the map and found that those places were all unexplorable areas.

It is estimated that there is really nothing to explore in this kind of place where monsters are spawned and upgraded. Players just follow the main road to fight the boss.

However, the clearance rate of this dungeon is only 15%, and it is estimated that there is still a little mystery behind it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qian didn't rush straight to where the Boss was, but observed while walking.

Until reaching the foot of the mountain, Zhou Qian finally found some information.

There was a bulletin board with a lot of newspapers on it.

Zhou Qian noticed that the latest newspaper was three months ago.It is estimated that three months ago was the time when the monsters appeared here, so that no staff dared to come here to post new information.

After reading the newspaper carefully, Zhou Qian grasped a key piece of information.

Here is a rather bizarre story that happened five years ago——

There used to be a very loving couple in Langang City. They fell in love, got married, and then the wife got pregnant naturally.An unfortunate thing happened suddenly. When his wife was four months pregnant, she was diagnosed with a serious illness. If she gave birth to a child, she would die. If she chose to remove the child, she might still have a chance.

Afterwards, the husband found a skilled doctor and installed an artificial uterus on his body.Through surgery, the doctor took the child out of the wife's womb and transferred it to the husband's body.In this way, the husband saved both his wife's life and his own children.

Thanks to the advanced technology of Linekong City, with the technology of artificial uterus, men can also conceive.For this reason, the husband was praised by many citizens of Blue Harbor City.

The reason everyone praises him is nothing more than that this technology is not mature enough, and few people have successfully tested it, but he dared to take the risk himself.

In addition, this technology will cause a series of side effects, which will make the pregnant man extremely painful, but he resolutely chose to try it, and he was praised as a courageous and responsible husband.

However, the good times didn't last long. Although the child was taken away, the wife was unable to cure her illness and died early.

In the end, this man started to conceive the child alone, and actually gave birth to him...

At first glance, the story sounds like a good one—everyone praises a husband for loving his wife.

But when Zhou Qian finished reading it, he felt something was wrong.

No matter how you look at it, this man seems to care more about that child than his wife.

In Zhou Qian's view, since his wife is so seriously ill, as a husband, no matter what, the first thing to do is to take care of his wife first.

Since the method of implanting an artificial uterus into the body is risky, why did the husband have to try it?

In case he fails and passes away, who will take care of his seriously ill wife?

What's more, even if the operation is successful, according to the news, the husband who is pregnant will be extremely painful. In that case, he probably doesn't have the extra energy to take care of his wife.

It can be seen that he really cares about children more.

He tried everything to keep this child, why?

This is a copy dedicated to spawning monsters. The clues to the plot and decryption should be very simple and direct.

Then Zhou Qian can basically confirm that the "father and son monster" in Ziwu Mountain is probably the father and son in this news.

This so-called husband probably regards his wife as a reproductive tool at all.But for some unknown reason, he and his son became monsters again.

For such a scumbag, of course Zhou Qian will kill him mercilessly.

After reading all the newspapers on the bulletin board, he ordered Xiaolong to tear down all the newspapers, and Zhou Qian didn't even miss the news on the back.

After that, he asked Xiaolong to tear down the entire bulletin board. After confirming that there was really no information here, he continued on.

On the way, Zhou Qian patted Xiaolong on the head. "Brother Zhou said, heck, your father said, you have the function of [Treasure Hunting]?"

Xiaolong nodded obediently: "Oh!"

Zhou Qian asked him again: "If there are any clues along the way that I missed, can you find them?"

"Hey!"

"My son is awesome!"

Zhou Qian strode forward very satisfied. "Then I don't need to be extra distracted looking for clues. Don't miss the grass on both sides of the mountain road, under the trees, and in the dirt."

"Ang~!"

The monster fighting book deserves to be an upgrade book for fighting monsters.

But after walking out dozens of steps, Zhou Qian came to a platform halfway up the mountain——

The father and son monsters are here!

[Target: Devil King Kid]

【Age: 4 years old】

【Grade: S+】

【Good at: crying children, phantom attacks, love slaps】

[Hint: When he cries, you have to be careful! 】

【Target: Demon King Dad】

【Age: 32 years old】

[Level: Unfathomable]

[Good at: giving birth, taking care of children, cooking food; the rest? ? ? 】

[Hint 1: The attack skills are unknown, the health value is unknown, the defense power is unknown, and the special skills are unknown, players need to explore by themselves]

[Tip 2: The attack power and defense value of the devil's father are unbelievably strong. When fighting against him, players must be extremely cautious]

[Hint 3: The devil's father has a deep sleep period of practice. Once he is disturbed until he wakes up, he will cause a super attack on the player]

[Attention players: The battle is about to start! 】

【Father Demon King is practicing.His practice needs to be carried out in deep sleep.He will wake up in 30 minutes; the devil boy will notice you in 1 minute, you have 1 minute to prepare]

Zhou Qian has already arranged all the props and small medicines that he needs on the front interface of the luggage, so that he can use them at any time.

So, taking advantage of this 1 minute, he could observe these two monsters carefully.

The bodies of the father and son were all purple, their ears were pointed, and there were many granules on the skin, the bigger ones even looked like meat bumps.

Although there is no strange shape growing on the body, it is not surprising that they are called "monsters" in such a shape.

As the system said, the devil's father temporarily fell into a deep sleep.He was lying on his back on the edge of the platform, it didn't look like he was practicing at all, and there were even bursts of snoring from his mouth.

What was rather weird was his belly—he was shirtless, and his belly was exposed, with a big meaty ball growing on it, as if he was still pregnant at the moment.

Is that the "artificial womb" mentioned in the report?

Why hasn't he taken that thing off yet?

On the other side, the Devil King kid was crawling on the ground. Even though he was four years old, he still seemed unable to walk.

He hasn't turned around yet, so he hasn't found Zhou Qian yet.

According to the system prompt, he will attack the player after 1 minute.

As for his father, Daddy the Devil, he will wake up after 30 minutes.

In this case, there is an optimal solution for the order of killing monsters——

In the next 30 minutes, the devil father will be in a "sleeping" state. Once disturbed, he will wake up and then attack the player.

Given his super defensive ability, there is basically no way for players to kill him in one move.

This means that if the player attacks Daddy Boss first, it will wake him up and trigger his attack in advance.At the same time, the devil boy is still alive.Players then face a dire situation of one-on-two.

Then, the player's optimal strategy is, of course, to kill the devil's kid within the first 30 minutes without disturbing the devil's father.

After 30 minutes, the player will have a one-on-one duel with the devil's father.

In this way, the unfavorable situation of one-to-two can be avoided by breaking the father and son one by one.

This kind of strategy can be fooled by anyone who is not stupid.

But why only 15% of players successfully pass the level?

Could it be that the devil's father, whose attack power is unknown, is so powerful that he cannot be killed?

1 minute later.

The four-year-old devil boy turned around, raised his head, and looked at Zhou Qian.

Suddenly, he cried "Wow", and activated the [Baby Crying] skill on Zhou Qian.

A double image suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Qian's eyes, and then he felt the ground tremble, the tree shadows swayed endlessly, and even the blue sky seemed to be broken into countless pieces at once.

At that moment, it seemed that countless devil boys were born, and they were walking towards him from all directions.

Guessing that this trick was related to some kind of illusion, Zhou Qian frowned, and then saw countless devil boys rushing towards him.

Due to the high speed of movement, the toddler, who already had many double images by means of illusion, seemed to have transformed into countless clones in an instant.

Zhou Qian was immediately surrounded by countless devil boys.And every kid has raised his hand, and will release [Slap of Love] on him.

If he really took this slap, his life value would be cut in half immediately.

Yudao here, Zhou Qian immediately clenched his bones, consumed a little blue bars, and slightly slowed down the flow of time.

Afterwards, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Qian's hallucinations caused by crying had disappeared, all kinds of double images disappeared, and there was only a fast-moving devil kid running towards him from one direction.

The devil kid's attack power may not be very high, but he really has too fast movement speed, which is probably his greatest magic weapon to win against the enemy.

Fortunately, one of Zhou Qian's trump card skills is to control time, which naturally slowed down the speed of this little boss in disguise.

Immediately, Zhou Qian hooked the corners of his lips and taunted him, "That's it?"

The next moment, the child jumped up, and the slap on Zhou Qian's forehead was within reach.

Putting the divine bone in his left hand, Zhou Qian further slowed down the time. After turning sideways, he pulled out a short knife that Bai Zhou had given him, and slashed fiercely at the child's neck with his backhand.

The light of Xue Liang's knife, which was wrapped in killing intent, disappeared in a flash, and purple blood gushed out from the child's neck in an instant.

Zhou Qian turned sideways in time, barely avoiding these disgusting demon blood.

In order to save mana, he quickly stopped slowing down time.

On the platform, under the blue sky, the Devil King fell motionless in a pool of purple blood and stopped breathing.

Through the system panel, Zhou Qian read that his health has been cleared.

It stands to reason that he should be dead.

But at this moment, Zhou Qian caught a glimpse of golden light from the corner of his eye.

Turning around, he saw that the golden light actually came from the big fleshy ball on the stomach of the sleeping Demon King's father.

The golden light flickered on and off, and after a few flashes, the devil boy on the ground suddenly jumped up.

The wound on his neck was gone.

At the same time, Zhou Qian saw that his blood volume had recovered to 100% again!
