Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

Generally speaking, the crucible needs to be used under heating, so for the raw materials in it, people cannot directly touch it with hands, but need some tools for assistance.

Even if you think about it from a magical point of view, after adding raw materials to the crucible, you probably need a utensil to stir it.

So the crucible probably doesn't exist independently.When the wizard builds it, there is a high probability that he will create a matching tool.

What will this instrument be?

Zhou Qian asked Wu Ren: "When I came, did I see you holding a big spoon?"

"Yes. I picked it up next to the crucible. It's very convenient to fiddle with the corpse." Wu Ren said, "Could it be..."

Before Wu Ren finished speaking, Zhou Qian asked again: "Have you used both ends of the spoon?"

"I've used it. But it doesn't seem to have any additional purpose." Wu Ren said, "At least I didn't feel it."

"Yeah." Zhou Qian said, "I'll go out later to confirm. But this spoon probably doesn't have any effect. Because I have already guessed what the real utensil is—"

Turning the subject, looking at Wu Ren, Zhou Qian asked with a smile: "Angkor, give me a correct sentence. You failed to be an emperor in the dungeon. After I take you out of here, will you consider whether you take the exam... huh? "

Wu Ren: "..."

Zhou Qian: "This is the third time I've asked you. You can't refuse."

After 3 minutes, Wu Ren seemed to have finally given up struggling, and looked at Zhou Qian helplessly: "To be honest, I am really convinced of you. You have only been here for a few minutes...and you have already found it." So much key information. So I just want to ask you one thing——

"Wait a minute, do I still have to move 50 corpses by myself?"

Zhou Qian immediately said: "My son and I can help you."

"...?" Wu Ren was very surprised, and three question marks appeared on his forehead almost out of thin air.

"You, your son? Oh... Where did you owe the romantic debt?

"That's right, as the saying goes, men are not bad and women don't love them. Maybe some girls like a bad boy like you. I just didn't expect you to even have a son. Is it a girl in the game, or a girl outside the game?" ?

"You didn't abandon him, did you? If you abandon him from beginning to end, I won't join the gang!"

Zhou Qian asked in surprise: "I look like the kind who would disappoint others if I am not serious?"

Wu Ren nodded very positively.

Zhou Qian: "..."

"Let's get back to business." Wu Ren said: "In short, I have promised you now. I am not as slippery as you. Either I will not agree. But as long as I promise, my promise will definitely be counted. So now ——

"What do you think is the answer to customs clearance?"

Looking around the inside of the crucible again, Zhou Qian said: "In order to help the emperor and provide him with a steady stream of soldiers, the wizard created a magic crucible, as well as a device that can activate the crucible.

"Now, you have not been successfully resurrected, and you cannot return to the real world to help the emperor. But at the same time, you did not go to the real hell, but were just trapped in the 'crucible world', in a state of neither life nor death .

"So in fact the crucible has played a role, but its role has only been played halfway. Then the truth of the matter is now very clear——"

Looking at Wu Ren, Zhou Qian said: "I think the utensil that activates the crucible has been swapped. Someone stole this utensil and replaced it with a giant spoon.

"Unbeknownst to the emperor, after the death of 51 soldiers, he put their corpses into the cauldron and tried to activate the cauldron with this spoon.

"Of course, the swapped spoon can't make the other half of the crucible play a role. So you can't go back. So what we have to do now is to get that real utensil back."

"Then...who, and for what purpose, would steal such a device?

"And what kind of tool can help that person reach the 'Crucible World'?"

Zhou Qian didn't need to explain, Wu Ren already knew the answer.

In the limited dungeon information, there can only be one answer - the person who stole the crucible device that can activate it can only be the "god" who opposed the "last emperor".

Wu Ren immediately said: "I know! It's the scepter!

"The equipment that matches the crucible can only be the scepter in the hands of the gods! It is also because the power of the scepter and the crucible is interlinked, so the gods can enter the world of the crucible through the scepter!"

The scepter was enormous, as long as the diameter of the cauldron.In addition, whether it is red rain or light beams, they are all emitted by the scepter.The key to the problem is undoubtedly the scepter.

The gods stole the rod that activated the cauldron and replaced it with a giant spoon.

As a result, the emperor's resurrection of soldiers failed.

But even so, the gods are still worried, so they use the scepter that matches the power of the crucible again and again to enter the "between life and death" world created by the crucible, trying to kill the general completely.

Wu Ren couldn't help but looked at Zhou Qian, and asked, "But, manipulated by the gods, this scepter will attack us! With its help, how can we really activate the crucible and help 51 of us return to the human world?!"

Zhou Qian said: "The crucible and giant spoon that exist in reality have their corresponding manifestations in this world of 'between life and death' to help players solve problems.

"Then there should be information about the scepter. It's just that you don't have time to find it. Every time you transport all the corpses back to the crucible, you will spend nearly an hour."

"I'm here to transport the corpse now. Go find it!" Wu Ren said.

"Actually, there is no need to look for it. At this time, we must realize the importance of off-site information."

Zhou Qian yawned and asked Wu Ren, "Do you know that there is a god named 'Dagda'?"

Wu Ren shook his head decisively.

Zhou Qian explained: "Dagda is a 'good god', who is said to be responsible for controlling the fertility of the Irish. So I said you misunderstood, I am not a prodigal son, Dagda is a prodigal son, and he has a series of lovers.

"Dagda possesses two very magical treasures, one of which is a rebirth crucible that continuously provides food, and the other is a giant stick.

"This giant stick of Dagda has a powerful effect. One end can make people die, and the other end can make people live."

After a few seconds, Wu Ren fully understood.

"The giant stick corresponds to this dungeon, which is what we thought was the scepter of the gods! The red rain and the light beam are all fired from one end of the scepter. We have to find a way to use the other end of the scepter?!! "

"Yes. But this is just the off-site information I thought of based on myths and legends. Logically speaking, there should be relevant clues in the dungeon. If you find them, you can further confirm your imagination. Then——

"Angkor, it's up to you to continue moving the corpse first, and I'll look for clues."

At this point, Zhou Qian muttered to himself. "My son should recover a little bit."

Stuck his hand into the bag, Zhou Qian took out a scale from it, rubbed it three times with his fingertips, and a dark blue dragon jumped out.

Jumping to Zhou Qian's side, Xiaolong tilted his head, rubbed his head against his trouser leg, and let out a cute voice: "Oh."

"Good boy." Zhou Qian patted Xiaolong's head: "Can you grow bigger and fly me? If so, let's go out and find something."

Hearing this, Xiaolong really quickly grew to the length of a person, swung his tail, lifted Zhou Qian up at once, then curled his tail again, and put him on his back.

Zhou Qian stroked its head again. "Use your ability to explore and hunt for treasure. Let's find the clues quickly, so we can go out and meet your father sooner. I still miss him a little bit."

Xiaolong: "Oh!"

Zhou Qian took out three small bottles of medicine from his luggage and threw them to Wu Ren who was beside him. "Angkor, get some blood. My son is still young, so I can only carry me alone. Climb out by yourself."

After Zhou Qian finished speaking, Xiaolong flicked his tail and carried him to the top of the crucible, and quickly disappeared in front of Wu Ren.

Wu Ren was stunned for a moment, but quickly took the medicine.After recovering a small amount of health, he quickly began to crawl out without stopping, and decided to seize the time to collect the corpses again.

He fought against "God" six times in a row, his life value was so low that the blood supply to his brain was insufficient, and he didn't react for a while.

It wasn't until he crawled out from the bottom of the crucible that Wu Ren realized something was wrong.

——Wait, why did Zhou Qian tell his "son" to go out to find "father"?

·

Xiaolong carried Zhou Qian and turned the whole world around at an extremely fast speed.

They flew all the way to the left and eventually came back to where they were.

The plane of this world is clearly a circle.

The surroundings of the circle are covered by an impenetrable red mist, and the dark red clouds on the top of the sky are also untouchable.

In this way, the results of the investigation seem to further prove that they are indeed in a pot, the sky is the mouth of the pot that cannot be jumped out, and the surrounding is the inner wall that cannot pass through.

The crucible of this world, and the constant death and rebirth of those 50 corpses, is like a reenactment of scenes in the real world.

These soldiers died for the emperor in reality, and in this "between life and death" world, they "died" again and again for their generals.

They together constitute an image, perhaps the real purpose is to evoke the memory of the general——

General, you have died in battle, but the emperor of the world is still waiting for your rescue.

Today, the gods are still trying to find a way to enter the "between life and death" and kill you completely.Because he even fears your undead!

Such a powerful general, please recall everything and lead us to regain the scepter and return to reality!Please fight for the emperor and avenge us all!

·

Ten minutes before the next arrival of the gods, Zhou Qian and Wu Ren stayed with a pile of corpses again.

Wu Ren asked Zhou Qian: "So, have you found any clues related to the scepter?"

"I found it." Zhou Qian handed Wu Ren a cowhide.

The edge of this cowhide has been scorched, and there is a lot of mud on it, which was dug out by Zhou Qian after Xiaolong smelled it.Fortunately, it was buried deep in the ground and was not burned by Hong Yu.

There are several paintings on the leather.

The first painting depicts the process of a wizard making a crucible. Above the picture, what is placed in the crucible is indeed not a spoon, but a huge stick, which is the scepter used by the "God".

The second painting on the cowhide is also more interesting. The wizard in the cloak raised his staff and aimed at a fish that was obviously dead and turned belly up on the water.

The next third painting is about the fish swimming in the water.

The cowhide is old and old, but the fish in the painting is still alive. It swings its tail and throws up countless water droplets. The water droplets seem to leave the water at any time and drip onto people's faces.

The latter two paintings have actually demonstrated the fact that one end of the scepter does have the power of resurrection.

"Phew... that's true. But it's too difficult for a single-player dungeon."

After quickly reading the painting, Wu Ren couldn't help but said, "There is no way for a person to collect so many corpses..."

"Yes. The mythical story of Dagda's system is relatively unknown to us. Without this off-site information, it is difficult for a single person to complete it alone."

Zhou Qian asked Wu Ren, "How difficult is your copy? Why didn't I meet it?"

When choosing a single-player dungeon for himself, Zhou Qian watched every optional dungeon several times, but he had never seen this "Magic Crucible".

Therefore, if Wu Ren didn't pull him, he wouldn't be able to come here.

Wu Rendao: "I did several dungeons in Linekong City, and once I opened a treasure chest, I got an item that can summon teammates. After that, I can see this dungeon. I... I am eager to complete some Things, so it is really a bit of a rush. The clearance rate of this dungeon is only 5%.”

Zhou Qian: "I have such a prop, but it is still not open to me. Because my attribute is too low?"

Wu Rendao: "If you don't leave any blood left, my output ability is three times that of yours under normal circumstances. In addition, there are defenses and so on..."

"Okay. Then the basic attribute is one hurdle to enter this dungeon. The summoning item is another hurdle."

Zhou Qian said, "Can it be understood that this is only open to you when you can call teammates. Then...

"Perhaps this can be seen as a hint."

"What hint? How to deceive the gods to resurrect us with the other end of the scepter. Do you have an idea?"

After Wu Ren asked this question, Zhou Qian's gaze suddenly became a little unpredictable.

Wu Ren's heart almost skipped a beat. "What do you mean?"

Zhou Qian said: "What I mean is that the system is actually treating the players kindly. It thinks that this dungeon is something you need a summon card to pass. You simply can't complete it on your own."

"You only have 5000 blood points left. But you said that the moment the god arrived in this world, the first move he made had a 8000% hit rate. Even if you dodged it completely, you would still lose [-] blood points."

Wu Rendao: "Xiaoyao's HP increase is small, but it's still barely—"

Zhou Qian: "But we seem to be unable to directly take the scepter from him. He has the strength to fight against an emperor with many soldiers, let alone the blessing of the scepter? What's more...he can leave this world at any time and return to reality .Can we hold off another hour?

"Once he finds out that we know the secret of the scepter, will he still dare to come?

"Maybe if we fail to snatch the scepter, we will be completely trapped here!"

By this time, Wu Ren had fully understood the meaning of Zhou Qian's words. "You want to... use my death to cheat his scepter."

"Yes." Zhou Qian said, "This is what I mean by dungeon hints - you need someone to help you pass this level. Otherwise, you will definitely die.

"This actually means that after you die, the gods will relax their vigilance. This is a plot that will definitely happen.

"Then, if your teammates take that opportunity, they can grab the scepter and use the other end of it to revive you, along with 50 other soldiers.

"Now the teammate you call is me. I'm the only one who can help you."

"But it's also possible..."

Wu Ren smiled wryly, and sat down against the inner wall of the crucible, with two charred corpses under him.

The light was dim, and his usually gloomy little eyes narrowed for a moment, the pupils were too black to see the bottom.

"It's also possible that after I die, the gods will leave after killing me, the god of war. You don't belong to the people in the story. Maybe you can leave naturally.

"You said it yourself, we can talk... This does not conform to the setting, this is the logic outside the story."

"Angkor, if you still think this way now, then I will really get angry.

"First, your idea is fundamentally wrong. If you die, if I leave you alone, I'm afraid I'll be trapped to death here too. Although the fact that we can talk to each other is related to summoning props. But in this story , since I can enter the crucible world, it means that I am probably dead too. The second—"

Staring into Wu Ren's eyes, Zhou Qian's expression was unprecedentedly serious, "I haven't met many good people before. But when I entered this game, I met many good people one after another. You are one of them. So Wu Ren ——

"I have come to save you, not to kill you. I will not leave my king alone.

"Are you willing to trust me?"

After staring into Wu Ren's eyes for 30 seconds, Zhou Qian stood up and said, "If you believe me, use death to trick the gods into 'loose plot'.

"You in the story are actually a dead person, so you will never really die.

"Under the setting of the story, I will use the scepter to bring you back to reality from the 'between life and death'. You will return to the world as a 'knight' to fight for your emperor."

Pausing for a moment, Zhou Qian raised his god's ribs, trying to make Xiaolong spit out a little purple mist, and white smoke suddenly appeared from the god's ribs.

The white smoke condensed into a human form and dispersed after a while.

After that, Zhou Qian clearly saw the surprise in Wu Ren's eyes.

Zhou Qian said: "If you believe me, help me get two more corpses out now."

Wu Ren quickly understood what Zhou Qian meant. "Are you worried that the Crucible can only resurrect 51 people at a time?"

The war is likely to be large-scale, so there may be countless casualties, not just what Zhou Qian and Wu Ren saw.

The reason why there are only 51 people in this world is probably because the crucible can only resurrect 51 people, so the emperor only put 51 corpses into the crucible to try to resurrect them.After all, there are only 51 soldiers carved on the inner wall of the crucible.

Seeing Zhou Qian nod his head, Wu Ren hurriedly asked again: "I can understand what you mean, you were summoned by the props, after you entered this dungeon, whether you have an identity or not is actually something that cannot be confirmed. ...

"Then, if you are counted as a character in the story and have died in reality like me...you need to replace a soldier's resurrection qualification. Then we can return to reality together.

"But if that's the case, I only need to throw out one corpse. Why two?"

"Did you see the white smoke just now?"

Zhou Qian looked at the bones in his eyes, and smiled at Wu Ren, "He used to be my teammate, but he died in someone else's design. He has temporarily become my bone spirit, and he may be one step away from resurrection.

"Therefore, I want to try to see if this crucible with the power of rebirth can also resurrect his undead in a certain sense. Maybe the resurrection crucible is just a dungeon setting, and it won't play a big role. But I'll try my best. So Oh In--"

Putting away his smile, Zhou Qian became serious again. "You are right, I let you be the so-called 'king' to use you, because I need your ability.

"But in this game, shouldn't teammates who form a team be complementary, cooperative, or in other words, 'mutually exploitable'?

"You have to believe that I will take you out alive.

"For scum, I will not let go. But for teammates who are not bad, I will not give up. I have such confidence."

"Angkor, maybe I will use you in the future. But now, it's time for you to use me. You must seize the opportunity."

The author has something to say:

The crucible, the giant stick, and Dagda's "good god" are all related to the Celtic mythology system~
