Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

"Alian, what's wrong with you?"

Someone from the Japanese family in the east stood up and asked loudly.

"I, I don't know what happened, the handkerchief is gone! It was still in my hand just now!"

This is the response of the little girl named Alian.

At this time, the last ray of the setting sun was about to burn out.

A faint crescent moon has appeared on the horizon.

There were many people gathered in the center and the periphery of the square, but because of a sudden accident, there was no sound in the surrounding area, and everything was completely silent.Only the crying of the little girl in the middle of the field was really heart-piercing and pitiful.

But in fact, no one seemed to take pity on her.

The members of the Beiquan Yun family who were closest to her all showed relieved smiles.

As for the East Circle where her family was located, they either showed fear on their faces, or stood up with fists clenched, and looked at A-Lian angrily and disappointedly, as if she was the devil who would kill them.

Zhou Qian sat calmly at his original position, looking around and scanning everyone. He first focused on the inn proprietress Tarr who was standing by the iron bowl of meat not far away. She quietly watched what happened in the middle of the field. Everything, with a mysterious smile on his face.

Afterwards, Zhou Qian looked at Abu, the village head in the middle of the square. He rarely left the side of the sacrifice, walked to the Yun family in the north, and came all the way behind Zhou Qian—that was the little girl Alian crying. place.

Walking to A-Lian, Village Chief Abu asked her a few words in a low voice, and then asked his subordinate to say something, and that subordinate went to invite a woman from the outside of the square.

The woman was obviously Alian's mother.

The moment she saw her, A-Lian immediately knelt down. "Mother, I'm sorry. I, I failed the family..."

The woman sighed deeply, walked up to her, stretched out her hand to check her body carefully several times, and found that the handkerchief did not fall into her dress, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Then she also knelt down, but unlike the child, she was facing the direction of the village chief.

"Lord Abu, I beg you. This... this game is just beginning, this is not worth it! I implore you to replace the handkerchief with something else. I, we..."

"This is what Master Menghui Divination left behind! Only this handkerchief can select a true warrior for us! It is the sacred handkerchief of judgment! Now that it is gone, there is actually no point in continuing this game... ..."

After the village chief said these words sternly and mercilessly, he turned to the rest of the people and said, "The game is over. Now I will announce the candidates for tonight's vigil—"

"The East Day family has the lowest score in the game, and all 16 people participating in the game need to participate in the vigil.

"Of course, these 16 people are not enough. We need to go back to the stage of guessing fists at the beginning of the game. Awei and He Xiaowei participated in the decisive round. They are from the Yun family in the north and the Yue family in the south. Participate in the vigil. But the losers will participate. Among them, the eastern Sun family has decided to participate, and in addition, the Western Star family, which also lost, will also participate in the vigil!"

In this game, the Nebula Alliance, originally formed by the two circles in the northwest, fought against the Sun-Moon Alliance formed in the southeast.

Zhou Qian terminated the game early at this point, which directly led to the instant disintegration of the two alliances——

The nebula was dismantled, and the sun and the moon were also dismantled.

Now Xing and Sun have become losers and need to participate in the vigil.

And the two sides that won became the originally hostile Yun family and the Yue family.

As soon as the village chief announced the result, a man with stars on his clothes ran to the Yun family in the square, grabbed an elder of the Yun family and punched him hard.

"It was you who did it! The loss of the sacred handkerchief must have been done by you! You clearly knew that we were behind in the boxing game, and would probably be sent directly to watch the night... You actually did this kind of thing! You betrayed us!" betrayed us! betrayed our alliance!"

"Really..." The elder of the Yun family wiped the blood on his face, but laughed mockingly, "The deserters from the kingdom of silence... are said to be the eight who are the last to fight on the battlefield. We strongly oppose it." They join us and oppose them to fight with us, but everyone thinks that they can participate. When voting...you Star Family, you voted for it. So——

"Will your Star Family really keep fighting with us? Not necessarily. The fact that the little girl named Alian is a master, and the fact that she was secretly trained... You all already knew why the competition started, and you didn't tell us why the competition started. What about us?"

"This, this, this is not..." The member of the Xing family was speechless for a moment.

The elder of the Yun family punched him hard, as revenge for himself, and then he said: "Can't you speak? Ha... It's your own fault for things to turn out like this!

"Our deserter from the Kingdom of Silence named He Xiaowei thought that the girl was the youngest and should be the weakest, so he chose her. If you had told us earlier that she was the strongest, we would have asked him to throw the handkerchief Behind her? If we don't throw her a handkerchief, will she drop it again?

"So, it was your Xing family who concealed it first and had the intention of betrayal! How dare you come to question me?!"

The conversations of the villagers were all heard by the players.

He Xiaowei scratched his head, and said with emotion: "Throwing the handkerchief, throwing the handkerchief, the handkerchief is really 'lost', Qianer, is this caused by your time magic? I just saw that little girl crying so badly , I was quite sorry at first, I thought it was the two of us who harmed her, but now it seems..."

"If you don't do it for the sword, you can only be reduced to fish. What's more, they are just NPCs."

Zhou Qian stood up and looked in the direction of the other three families, "It seems that the alliance of the Xingyun family is very fragile. In fact, although the crisis of the night watch has been lifted in this way, we and the Yun family are bound to fight with the other three families." The family is an enemy. Plus the Vigil--"

Before Zhou Qian finished speaking, Bai Zhou shook his wrist.

Looking sideways at him, Zhou Qian said, "What?"

Bai Zhou said: "Someone needs to watch the movements of the three families. Besides, there must be a story on the side of the night watch. Leave it to me to investigate."

Hearing this, Zhou Qian held his hand instead, his expression was a little confusing for a moment.

Seeming to be able to see something from Zhou Qian's expression, Bai Zhou held his hand and asked him in a low voice through the private chat tool: "What are you stupid about?"

Zhou Qian said honestly, "I'm fooling you."

"Worried that I'm in danger?" Bai Zhou asked.

"Not only that." Zhou Qian said.

Bai Zhou asked again: "Then what else?"

Zhou Qian exhaled lightly: "Stop talking. It seems that I am hypocritical when I say it."

Bai Zhou: "?"

Zhou Qian took a deep look at him. "It's nothing. You go. This is still a sub-copy of Blue Harbor City. Your ability will be limited. So you have to pay attention to safety. If there is any danger, please contact me at any time through the intentional teammate function. I can use those butterfly wings Look for you."

On the side, the little girl named Alian was still crying on the ground.

Her status in the family was originally very high. After all, she was very talented. After training, she ran with an unparalleled speed, and was able to win a safe chance for everyone to survive.

Because of her talent and hard work, her parents' status in the family has also improved significantly.

But now her situation has undoubtedly taken a turn for the worse. She was held up high by the clansmen and then smashed down severely.

A few people from the Japanese family had already run over from the outside of the square, smashing vegetable leaves and verbally abusing her. Afterwards, the village chief sent his men to maintain order and managed to drag them away.

Finally, Alian's father also came.

Everyone probably recognized him as A-Lian's father, so no one stopped him when he walked over.

But no one was fooled that it was her father who hurt her the most.

He stepped forward and slapped her hard, knocking her to the ground.

Seeing this, her mother threw herself on the ground and hugged her husband's leg, trying to stop him from moving closer to her daughter. "It's not Alian's fault! What's wrong with her?!"

But the next moment, she was kicked away by her husband. "I was killed by you mother and daughter! From now on, I will never be able to hold my head up again in the clan!"

Zhou Qian was the closest to A-Lian, and walked over now, but sneered, "It's already a coward for a big man to push his eight-year-old daughter into this dangerous night watch backup team. Why don't you You still have face, blame her for making you unable to lift your head? Why don't you participate in this handkerchief throwing game by yourself?"

The man said: "You fucking deserter from the Kingdom of Silence, you will depend on us to live in the future! Show me some respect!"

At this moment, Zhou Qian was not in a hurry to retort, and after noticing the strange movement around him, he grabbed Bai Zhou's wrist in time, and then looked at the man.

What this man said just now exposed a rather crucial piece of information—deserters have to rely on the villagers to live.

Zhou Qian is very foolish to listen. When he is angry, will he continue to speak out any key information.

But soon this person stopped talking to Zhou Qian, probably because he knew he had made a slip of the tongue.

Then he turned to continue cursing at his wife and daughter.

"A man who scolds his wife and children is the most useless!" He Xiaowei couldn't hold back his curse, "Shame!"

The man ignored the player, and wanted to hit A-Lian again.

When the fist wind was about to hit Alian's face, his wrist was held down.

It was Bai Zhou's hand.

"You—" He was about to point at Bai Zhou's nose and yell, but Bai Zhou's palm was pulled down, his wrist was dislocated immediately, and a painful cry broke out from the whole person.

Bai Zhou ignored him and just let him fall to the ground. Then he walked up to the little girl, helped her up, patted her shoulder with one hand, and helped the little girl remove the vegetable leaves from her head with the other.

Looking at him from behind, Bai Zhou's every move was extremely gentle.

Seeing this, Zhou Qian elbowed He Xiaowei next to him: "Brother Xiao Wei, I haven't broken the window paper with Brother Zhou before. Do you know one of the reasons?"

He Xiaowei:? ?

Zhou Qian: "When he was in school, he was not as indifferent to other people as he is now. Generally speaking, he has a good relationship with his classmates. After all, he is the monitor.

"Although he should be special to me, he is also very friendly to other classmates. So I'm really not sure if he is so gentle to me alone..."

He Xiaowei was dumbfounded: "Oh, you're just saying... the game ruined him?"

Zhou Qian: "..."

He Xiaowei: "Qian'er, when you were playing charades, I really couldn't guess it. But I think the scene in front of me looks like you got into trouble and bullied the little girl, so the god-level boss went to clean up the mess for you."

"...? Me? Trouble? Little Viagra, did you make a mistake? Who just rescued you from the danger of the night watch?"

"Hey, no! I didn't mean that! I was just making a metaphor!"

"Ok?"

"Fuck, Qian'er, don't stare at me. I've decided to listen to my master and stop talking!" He Xiaowei quickly made a mouth shutting motion.

On the other side, Bai Zhou gave a bottle of ointment to Alian's mother, and another bottle to the little girl, and then took her to the center of the square where the village chief Abu was.

Seeing the village chief, Bai Zhou said: "Chairman Abu, I will watch the night for her."

He used declarative sentences directly.

Hearing this, Abu looked at him meaningfully, but didn't say no. "It's also good that you volunteer to watch the night and contribute to the village..."

Bai Zhou asked him, "What do you need to do for the night watch?"

Abu only said: "As the village head, I also have the duty of watching the night. You can follow me at night. Now you can move freely. One hour before midnight, please come here to gather."

"Then I'll take A-Lian home first." Bai Zhou nodded to Abu, and led A-Lian past the northern circle, and then continued to walk outside.

When he came to Zhou Qian's side, he stopped, and then looked at Yindao not far away: "I will leave the output position here to you."

"Don't worry." Yin Dao said, "I can still help everyone with my intuition."

Bai Zhou nodded, and asked again: "Are you willing to listen to Zhou Qian's arrangement?"

Yin Dao smiled: "You still don't trust me? Don't talk about my personal feelings and experiences in the last dungeon. I just said that I have watched his previous videos, and I have no problem. I can completely believe in his arrangement."

In fact, Yindao knew of course that Bai Zhou asked this question not because he doubted himself, but because he needed to express his willingness to support Zhou Qian in public, especially in front of Yun Yurong and Yin Jiujiu whose positions were uncertain.

In this way, even though Bai Zhou is not around, with the guarantee given to Zhou Qian by the god-level player Yindao, if others want to move Zhou Qian, they must carefully weigh it.

So Yindao looked in the direction of the two girls again, and emphasized a sentence: "I absolutely support every plan of Zhou Qian, and push him to the end!"

Zhou Qian glanced back and forth at the two, and shook Bai Zhou's hand with a smile. "Then be careful."

"Well, you too." Bai Zhou shook his hand back, then turned around and took the little girl out of the square.

In this regard, off-site gamblers expressed a little incomprehension.

[Are they really in love?I don't believe it]

[You say, it’s like an emperor who likes a general and must send this general to the battlefield, how does the emperor feel? ]

[The emperor will definitely be worried and entangled.If you were a general, you would have grudges, right?If it were me, if my beloved sent me the most dangerous task, then I would definitely be dissatisfied! ]

[So the situation of the two of them is not suitable for dating.Career belongs to career, feelings belong to feelings, they cannot be mixed together!If things go on like this, there must be conflicts, and it won't be long! ]

[My opinion is different from yours]

[How to say? ]

[In the current situation, only 137 is the most suitable for this task. If it is someone else, their ability cannot keep up, and it is easy to rush to the street.If Zhou Qian doesn't let 137 go, how can he convince the public? ]

[Yeah, other people will think that he is doing favoritism, which will lay a deep hidden danger for future teamwork! ]

[Not only that, other people will think that he is in love.How could he, such a sensible person, send other unsuitable people to participate in this task? ]

[Oh, so 137 not only doesn't mind, but also offered to go... In fact, he also meant to be afraid of brother Qian's embarrassment.I seem to understand what Brother Qian’s words mean]

[Fuck, so to speak, 137 is against Brother Qian... this is too good]

[Damn, who said otherwise.No wonder Brother Qian can bend.Mu Mu Mu]

[? ?Something is wrong with you upstairs? ]

·

In the game, some commotions inevitably occurred in the square, probably due to insults between those who were sent to watch the night and those who managed to return home.

In the end, the village head came forward to quell the commotion one by one.

Then he lit a sacrifice made of some animal bones, which is called bone sacrifice.

Because there is a pile of wood and straw and other grains around as combustion-supporting materials, they wrap the bones, and the flames are still yellow.

The huge yellow fire echoes the torches around the square, and it looks quite heroic in the night.It seems that there will be a phoenix emerging from the ashes at any time.

"The fire here will burn all night, I hope people from different worlds will be satisfied with it..." The village head looked at the crowd, "Next, the night watchmen can leave temporarily, and just come here to gather an hour before midnight .

"As for the other people who can go home...every household, please line up to receive the distribution of sacrifices.

"Everyone, please remember, after receiving the things I distributed, please be sure to light them in the fireplace before 12 midnight when you get home. Otherwise, you may be swallowed by people from another world!

"In addition, I would like to remind everyone, don't draw the curtains at night, and don't block the windows with other things! I will send people to patrol. If the patrol people can't see the fire, they will think that something happened to you, and then run into the room. If you don't Isn't this just causing trouble? So everyone must pay attention!"

At the end, the village head looked at Zhou Qian and his party, and said again: "You people staying in the hotel are the same, join the queue, and each person will receive a sacrifice for tonight's burning."

The village chief's subordinates came forward again to maintain order. People seem to have gotten used to this annual routine, and are used to accepting death and the departure of their loved ones. Queues lined up in an orderly manner.

Looking closely at their faces, some of the villagers whose families were going to watch the night were weeping silently; the rest who were able to go home, especially the villagers of the Yun family, were all smiling.

The sacrifices that the village chief distributed to the villagers were mainly bones, as well as a little ordinary firewood and a small amount of grain.

Seeing He Xiaowei's seriousness from this action, he immediately moved to Zhou Qian's side and asked, "Qian'er, without you, I really think it's quite dangerous. Who knows what these animals eat? What if there are a lot of Lin in their bones? It happens to be a blue flame when it burns! The dungeon designer is too insidious!

"The village chief also said that we can't draw the curtains or block the windows, otherwise they will think we are in danger and break into the house directly, and even see the fire in the house, our tricks of coloring will be completely useless.

"Sure enough, the method I mentioned at the beginning is also ineffective... But if we are rash, we will either die at the hands of ghosts, or we will violate the prohibition, and I am afraid we will die too!"

"Indeed. There are only a few grains and ordinary firewood, and they will be burned quickly. But a large amount of bones can be burned for a long time. In fact, what we have to trace now is... who made these bans on us." Zhou Qian said , "I hope there will be results from Brother Zhou."

"Qian'er, you line up here, and Master is here to protect you."

He Xiaowei glanced at the long queue in front of him, rubbed his hands together and said, "I'll talk to other people, see if there's a quarry or something, I'll find some fuel of another color, the more the better. "

Here, a group of villagers lined up to receive flammable offerings from the village chief to prevent the invasion of ghosts at night.

On the other side, Bai Zhou asked A-Lian to take him to the past family gathering place.

At this moment, A-Lian had wiped away her tears, and her expression was dim in the night where she was facing away from the firelight.

"Actually, you don't have to send me back. You and the people from the Yun family somehow stole my handkerchief. You will get the hatred of the whole family. Once you send me home, they probably won't let you go .”

"If that's the case. In fact, they won't let you go. Right?" Bai Zhou said, "It seems that I should go."

"Why are you willing to help me?" A-Lian asked him, wiping away tears again.

Bai Zhou said in a deep voice: "You should have been fooled by a question, why are you so talented that you take on such an important role. When you are needed, everyone treats you like everyone. But once you let them down Now, everyone will hate you to the bone, trample on you, and even want to kill you."

Taking a deep breath, A-Lian said: "I was really stupid about the questions you just mentioned. It's not fair. Why did God impose such a fate on us? Why...

"I hardly slept in the past year. I practiced hard, just to protect the people in my family. I did it for them. I'm not stupid in the current result! I'm not stupid to lose. But, why? -"

The angry words stopped abruptly, and then A-Lian looked at Bai Zhou, "It sounds like you have the same experience as me? What about you, did you lose?"

Bai Zhou is very tall.

A-Lian had to raise her neck as hard as she could to see his face.

But in the night, his expression was so secretive that Alian couldn't tell anything.

She could only see the bone sacrifice fire burning in the square behind him. From a distance, the fire seemed to spread continuously, as if there was no limit, and it also outlined his figure very lonely and indifferent.

Bai Zhou looked down at her, and said lightly, "If you know the answer, let's make a deal."

Alian asked him: "What kind of deal?"

Bai Zhou said: "Tell me what you know about the secrets of this village. For example, what will happen during the night watch?"
