Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

Tartar Hotel.

In the hall, Ah Mei drank bowl after bowl of broth, and finally asked Tar: "I feel like someone is listening to our conversation."

"It doesn't matter, does it?" Dar said with a smile. "Under the effect of curse magic, what should happen will always happen. No one can change history."

The red god Ah Mei was taken aback. "Unfortunately, unlike you, I can stand outside of time and see all this."

Tar only said: "God is powerful, but it also bears a lot."

"You're right. I don't need to worry about that much. It's just... I don't know what your purpose is for taking them in." A Mei asked, "Why did you put the deserters here?"

"I listen to curses in the human world, of course I need the identity of a human being. As a human being, I always need money. It's all just business." Tar asked Amei, "But you, what is your attitude towards them? "

"I don't know now." A Mei said, "You know, my lover was executed. Before his head was cut off and hung on the tower, I begged someone to take me to see him. Thanks to these few With the help of the 'deserter', I saw the last side of his complete body...

"I am grateful to them, but I also reminded them of the ban. I have done enough. Although they can't change everything that happens here, they came to this unnamed village after all to help the villagers here... …if they continue, they will be my enemies too."

Tar nodded: "Understood."

At this moment, a commotion was suddenly heard in the distance.

"Dead!"

"Dead?!"

"It's not good, it's not good!"

Dar said in surprise: "Ah, what's going on?"

Ah Mei smiled: "We outsiders didn't do anything. But here, the dead are not surprising. Humans just like to kill each other. Especially the people of these four major families, they love to lie and betray. "

Probably because as long as there are dead people in the village, Ah Mei will be happy. After saying this, she opened her mouth and quickly ate several large bowls of meat. "It's so fragrant. The food in this world is much more delicious than that in other worlds. Thank you."

Just as Ah Mei ate a few bowls of meat and finished off the soup inside, there was a knock on the door: "Are you all here? Come out quickly! Something happened!"

Ah Mei and Tar looked at each other, said "What a disappointment", then walked out through the wall and left the hotel from another direction.

Dar stepped forward and opened the door.

At this moment, the players upstairs and Tar heard the words from the outsider: "He's dead, everyone come out and have a look. Dar, are you there?"

Tar yawned lazily, and already spoke in a human voice when he spoke. "It's so dangerous outside, who dares to go out?"

The people outside said: "Don't worry, the white dogs have been guarding outside, saying that the outsiders have quickly finished the sacrifices on the square and left!"

"What happened to the dead man?" Dar asked.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of a weapon being revealed came from outside the door.

The voices of the people outside the door were also a little more alert.He said: "This is a man-made disaster, not someone from another world!"

"How?" Dar asked again.

The man said: "The murderer used a special scimitar. It is a unique weapon in the Kingdom of Silence. So the murderer must be one of the deserters. Tar, if you are not with them, you'd better open the door quickly , hand them over!!!"

1:20 am.

Under the call, all the villagers came to the square again.

0 o'clock is the moment when Samhain comes, and the time around this point is considered the most dangerous.

Now the most dangerous time has passed, the sacrifices on the square have been eaten clean, and the outsiders have gone away, the degree of danger has been greatly reduced.According to the past rules, after 1 o'clock, only a few sporadic outsiders who are alone will continue to wander, but if everyone gathers together, there is nothing to be afraid of.

As a result, when the village chief Abu called, everyone gathered together again.

On the square, everyone's expressions were very dignified.

But this time it wasn't because they were tabooing ghosts, but because they were tabooing murderers.

Seven of the village chief's subordinates stood up and formed a circle with various weapons in their hands.

Surrounded by it at the moment, there are seven players except Bai Zhou.

As for the so-called victim, he was lying near the center of the square at the moment.

It was a very young man, and he was still wearing a ghostly costume with sporadic animal blood on it, which looked very bloody and terrifying.

It's just that the blood on his chest is no longer animal blood, but real blood flowing from his heart.

This man is a member of the Yue family, named Qi Yunsi.

Since Ah Wei of the Yue family won the boxing match and then managed to escape after throwing a handkerchief to He Xiaowei, the members of the Yue family do not have to participate in the vigil this year.

After the young man of the Yue family left the square earlier, he returned home directly.

About 10 minutes ago, his neighbor heard the sound of fighting and screaming, went to his home to check, and saw him lying in a pool of blood.

Neighbors were worried that the murderer would continue to kill, so they went out with friends and companions.The most dangerous time for Samhain has passed, which gave them the courage to go out together.

They walked around the victim Qi Yunsi's house several times, but they found no clues of the murderer. Then they went door to door to inform that there might be a murderer here, while walking through the village towards the square.

Then near the square, they bumped into more than [-] people including the village chief Abu who had returned from the night vigil.

When the village chief Abu saw them, he said, "We have already met the Red God. He didn't ask us to sacrifice this year. You see, we are all back. Great!"

After saying this, Abu saw that these people did not show any joy, so he asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Naturally, those people immediately told Abu about someone being killed.

Abu quickly went to the home of the victim Qi Yunsi with his men to investigate, and confirmed that his death was man-made and had nothing to do with gods and ghosts.And the person who killed him was one of the deserters.

The onlookers in the square were arguing about what happened tonight.

Relying on the keen sense of hearing of a god-level player, Yindao heard everything in his ears, and finally pieced together the complete story, and whispered it to everyone.

After that, he looked at Zhou Qian and asked worriedly: "Except for the boss, all the people who went to watch the night are back now. What's the situation with the boss? He won't—"

Zhou Qian shook his head, and looked thoughtfully at Abu who was standing in the square.

At this time, the fire of the White Bone Sacrifice was still burning, and Abu's face was illuminated with a strange blue color, making him look like a ghost.

Zhou Qian said in a low voice: "Out of 32 night watchmen, 31 came back. But the villagers who stayed at home honestly were killed... Yindao, do you have any other information about the deceased Qi Yunsi? For example, he When he was killed, did his family see anything?"

Yin Dao said: "He has no family. Everyone is lamenting the misfortune of their family. His parents died in a night watch mission a few years ago, and he is an orphan.

"Many people are still regretting, saying that he was a handsome young man with great martial arts skills. It is a pity that he died at such a young age."

"So there is no one in his family. When he was killed, there were no real witnesses present." Zhou Qian said coldly, "This is really an ideal victim."

"The ideal victim?" He Xiaowei asked behind Zhou Qian, "What do you mean?"

Before Zhou Qian could answer, he met the village chief Abu's gaze from afar.

His eyes stayed on Zhou Qian's face for a moment, then Abu looked at the seven players again, and when he was about to say something, he was interrupted - a very familiar loud cry sounded from the square.

This cry was exactly what Zhou Qian heard after taking the little girl's handkerchief. It came from the eight-year-old girl Alian.

Following the familiar voice, Zhou Qian saw Alian.

She rushed out of the crowd and rushed towards the center of the square, ran to Qi Yunsi's side, knelt down on her knees and began to cry bitterly.

It seems that she has a very good relationship with Qi Yunsi, seeing him dead now, it is really hard to hide her grief.

Not far away, Abu frowned, stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder to persuade her: "Alian, don't cry yet. I know he is your good friend. The most important thing for us now is to avenge him, yes wrong?"

The Sun Clan that Alian belonged to, and the Moon Clan that Qi Yunsi belonged to were originally the Sun-Moon Alliance.It is not surprising that two people from these two families can become friends.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Qian couldn't help thinking—if these players hadn't participated in the handkerchief throwing game, what would have happened to the outcome of the four major families?

If A-Lian still loses and Bai Zhou is not around, will she still go to watch the night by herself?

After a while, Alian was persuaded to leave, and Abu walked up to the seven players step by step.

Along with his movements, the seven people around him also gripped their weapons tighter.

"At least one of you is the murderer of Qi Yunsi. I advise you to hand him over." Village Chief Ab said, "Otherwise, you will be regarded as accomplices!"

Zhou Qian sneered and looked at Abu. "What will happen if you are regarded as an accomplice?"

Ab said: "You cannot leave here. You will all die."

He Xiaowei whispered in Zhou Qian's ear, "Qian'er, it seems that a tough battle is coming. What do you think is our chance of winning against all the villagers?"

Qi Liuxing was also quite serious at the moment: "Zhou Qian, I have a hunch that maybe the village head will set up a trap and let us kill each other. We can't be fooled, we can only force our way out!"

Sure enough, Abu said to the seven players: "I want to prepare for Qi Yunsi's funeral and lead the rest of the people to continue the night watch. The most dangerous time of the Samhain festival has passed, but after all, the sky has not yet dawned. Before the sun appears , Wuming Village is not completely safe. Therefore, I don't have time to waste here with you.

"Please identify the murderer to each other, and I will see the result in 5 minutes.

"Whoever you think is the murderer, just point to him."

"Vote to identify the murderer?" Zhou Qian looked at Abu with a smile, "You let us play a script to kill? Five minutes is not enough for us to discuss."

"As I said, there is at least one murderer, but in fact there may be many people. Qi Yunsi is very skilled. You deserters, single-handedly, can't beat him, and most of you are cooperating in the crime. Therefore—"

Abu ignored Zhou Qian's words at all, and only said, "As long as anyone is identified, they will all be regarded as murderers!"

After announcing the simple and crude "voting rules", Abu called some of his men to carry Qi Yunsi away, saying that he was going to be buried in the cemetery.

Soon, two people pushed a unicycle over and put the body on it.Abu whispered to the two of them, as if explaining some precautions.

Zhou Qian glanced at his movements, turned his head, looked at everyone one by one, and finally fell on Yun Xiangrong.

He walked towards her and said, "When we first met, the game we played was similar to this time. The rules at that time were much more complicated than now, but the essence is the same, except last time They were looking for 'false believers', this time they were looking for 'murderers'."

Qi Liuxing also participated in that game.

Not only did he participate, but he was also deceived enough by Zhou Qian.

But he didn't know what was going on, he helped Zhou Qian all the way to the end, until he cleared the level and got the hidden achievement.

At that moment, Qi Liuxing also felt a little worried, stepped forward to look at Yun Xiangrong and said, "You blame Zhou Qian... In fact, you might as well blame me. I didn't check the information in time, and I didn't have time to send the ticking clock over. Gao Shan's death , I have a responsibility too. I—"

Exhaling a breath, Qi Liuxing said again: "The rule of the game this time is that anyone who is identified will be regarded as a murderer. But as long as we all do not identify anyone, no one will be regarded as a murderer!

"We are no better than we were back then. At that time, we had no defense against those two goddesses and could only follow the rules. But for these villagers, we have a chance to fight our way!"

Looking at Qi Liuxing, Yun Xiangrong said: "The life and death of another most powerful god-level player is uncertain, we only have seven people here. Seven people, if you want to beat hundreds of people in the whole village, how can you beat them? They have all been trained The soldiers trained are not real ordinary villagers. Even if there is a god-level player among us, his ability is greatly limited, so don't I need to remind you again?

"Also, leaving that aside, remember we have a fourth prohibition? We're not allowed to kill birds."

Glancing at the villagers, Yun Xiangrong said again: "This is a world full of magic. People can turn into animals, and animals can turn into people. Have you ever wondered why these villagers can communicate with dogs without barriers?" ?Is it possible that the ancestors of the Sun, Moon and Nebula are all birds? In this case, once we kill them, we will die for violating the prohibition.

"So if we really want to fight, there is not only a huge gap between the enemy and us, but also there is no fairness at all. We dare not really kill them, we have some scruples. But they are different, they can kill us without any scruples."

"After all, do you really want to identify Zhou Qian as the murderer?"

Qi Liuxing directly pulled out a sword, and pointed in Yun Xiangrong's direction with quite a deterrent force. "I really can't tell now, are you brainwashed by that side, you—"

Then a hand with distinct knuckles stretched out in front of him.

That was Zhou Qian reaching out to him and making a stop motion.

Zhou Qian looked at Yun Xiangrong with his usual malicious smile on his face. "If you identify me, I will definitely identify you too. Don't you like Brother Shan? Why do you want to die with me?"

"Don't use this kind of words to provoke me. Zhou Qian, you see, you are so bad. In order to achieve your goal, you not only use your words without choice, but also do everything you can. I will always despise people like you."

"When "The Bucket List" just ended, I really just wanted to kill you for revenge. As for now... I have more reasons to kill you."

Eye sockets became a little red, Yun Xiangrong continued: "Zhou Qian, I gave you a chance. I asked you for Brother Guoshan's soul, but you refused. I asked you to find a way to release him and let him return You won't even come to me!

"You keep saying that you can resurrect Brother Shan, but I can only believe what I see with my eyes. I only see that you have trapped him and made him a slave and tool to serve you!

"This is your usual style! Zhou Qian, you pretend to be nice to the people around you, but you actually just want to use them. Including the god-level player next to you, I think it makes sense."

"The 'resurrection' you mentioned is unfounded. I will not let Brother Shan become your slave. But the Pink Army has a way to resurrect him. I have seen it with my own eyes. They promised me that as long as I kill you, They will have a way to take away your divine bones and truly revive Brother Shan. Even if...

"Even if they won't revive him. As long as you die, Brother Shan's soul will at least be free."

Speaking of this, Yun Xiangrong seemed to have exhausted his words.

She no longer looked at Zhou Qian, but directly called the village chief Abu by name. "Lord Abu, you don't have to wait for the 5 minutes to end, I will identify him as the murderer!"

Stretching out his hand, Yun Xiangrong pointed directly at Zhou Qian.

"Oh, but in my opinion, she is the murderer."

Zhou Qian pointed his finger back at Yun Xiangrong.

The two identified each other as the murderer. According to the rules, both of them were regarded as the murderer of Qi Yunsi.

The two of Abu glanced at each other, and the firelight almost reflected blue in his pupils.

Then he smiled, and he looked at the other players. "What about you? Is there anyone else to identify?"

Abu looked at Yin Dao, He Xiaowei, Qi Liuxing, Ke Yuxiao, and Yin Jiujiu one by one, but all five of them shook their heads with serious faces.

Abu raised his eyebrows, and he didn't know whether he felt sorry or felt that his wish had come true.

After that, he said: "Then, the five of you can go back to the hotel to rest. I'm sorry that you have encountered so many troubles when you first came to the village. But you have to believe that you will find happiness in Wuming Village in the future.

"As for the remaining two murderers—" his tone became cold again, he said, "Please stay in the square. You will be executed."

During this period, Zhou Qian did not look at Abu, but looked around.

His eyes paused for a few seconds on the proprietress Dar in the crowd.

I saw an expression on her face that was similar to regret, pity, and dissatisfaction.

Even though that expression was fleeting, Zhou Qian still caught it.

That demeanor seemed to reveal her evil nature.

At the same time, a pyramid-shaped building suddenly appeared in the farmland area not far away. The special material shone brightly in the night, as if covered with silvery-white light by the stars and moon.

Even though it was far away, Zhou Qian recognized it—it was the Temple of Prayer.

How did it suddenly appear here?

Some of the chaotic thoughts were suddenly cleared up in his mind at this moment.

Zhou Qian smiled, he looked away, then calmly met Abu's cold gaze, and approached him step by step.

"What?" Abby asked him.

Zhou Qian said loudly: "My companions will not leave. You want to kill me? It's not easy, they will fight with me."

"Really?" Abu threatened, "You don't know our true abilities! You have no chance of winning!"

Zhou Qian only said: "We don't necessarily have to defeat you. We just need to delay the time."

"You, what do you mean?" Abu frowned.

Behind Zhou Qian, He Xiaowei also asked curiously in a low voice. "Yes Qian'er, what do you mean?"

Zhou Qian looked at Abu and said, "My friend, oh yes, the one who went to watch the night with you. I received a message from him. The number 32 is the upper limit of the Red God's annual cannibalism. Not all 32 will die. I trust my friend, he won't die. But he hasn't come back yet, I guess...

"You wanted to kill my friend, didn't you? But he's too powerful. You couldn't. Maybe you couldn't find him, or maybe you didn't dare go to where he was to find him.

"In this case, you may have to hand over another person to the Red God as a sacrifice, so you returned to the village, killed a villager, and planned to sacrifice him to the Red God, using him alone in exchange for the whole village Years of peace."

Taking a look at Abu's face, Zhou Qian said with a smile: "Other villagers have families and houses, but there is a man named Qi Yunsi who lives alone, so he naturally becomes your best persecution target.

"After persecuting him, you need to exonerate yourselves. The most suitable murderers are of course foreigners who have just arrived here. It would be even better if they have the identity of fleeing from the enemy country.

"So, we became your scapegoat, village chief."

He Xiaowei couldn't help it: "Fuck."

Zhou Qian narrowed his eyes and looked at Abu: "You sent someone to pretend to transport Qi Yunsi's body to the cemetery just to deceive the villagers. But what you actually want to do is to send him to the mountain to sacrifice to the Red God, right?" ?

"It's a pity, I was prepared and sent someone to destroy all of this.

"Oh, what will happen if you don't sacrifice a man to the Red God on time? What will happen if your plot is revealed?"

After Zhou Qian finished speaking, a translucent rope suddenly appeared in front of him, wrapping around his wrists abruptly like a living thing, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't get rid of it.

Immediately afterwards, Abu took a step forward, grabbed Zhou Qian's skirt, looked at him fiercely, and whispered in his ear: "Even if you guessed it, we have to sacrifice one person to go out, so what? One day You are wrong about this matter. There is no strict time for sacrificing the Red God. It can be before dawn!

"Before the sun comes out, I will definitely kill you! So, you can't escape!"
