Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

Zhou Qian sat on the top of the mountain, surrounded by green hills and overly tall green trees, the sound of the gurgling brook looming, the wind passing through the woods, and the leaves rustling.

Zhou Qian, who likes to be lively, seemed a bit out of place with the scenery in the mountains.

It was rare for him not to be surrounded by people, and it was also rare for him not to speak.

At this moment, he was very quiet, his expressionless face made his facial features show a little obedient, and his eyes were even a little innocent, just like when he was just admitted to the Spring Mountain Mental Hospital, he was lying on the bed after taking a sedative.

"Can I not wear a bondage suit? I will stop making trouble."

When he said that to the nurses with his bright eyes, no one didn't think he was a poor little girl.

Now he also looks like a poor little guy, without a single teammate by his side.

He looked very lonely.And what he fears most is this kind of loneliness.

Under the gaze of the pastor, Zhou Qian slowly raised his eyelids and looked over, his face still expressionless.Facing this person who was dealing with him secretly from the very beginning, he suppressed all the hatred and hostility in the deepest place.

This is actually very rare.

When facing the enemy, when did Zhou Qian really hide the malice and sarcasm in his eyes?

So the pastor laughed. "You are very wary of me."

Zhou Qian didn't speak, but just looked at the pastor.

The pastor said again: "Understandable. I have been observing everything about you in the dark. But you know nothing about me. Even you have fear, right?"

Zhou Qian finally smiled. "You think too highly of yourself."

The pastor smiled nonchalantly. "Let me ask you a question, have you ever thought that the time you stay in this game is getting longer and longer. You are addicted to virtual reality and don't want to return to reality, right?"

Zhou Qian leaned forward a little. "so what?"

"You are disappointed in human nature in the real world, but you are looking for the beauty of human nature in the virtual game world. You think you have found friendship and even love, so you become more and more addicted." The pastor asked him, "So don't be afraid, all this is just yellow. Liang Yimeng?"

"The game is fake, and the feelings and relationships between people in the game are real. So what do I have to be afraid of?" Zhou Qian asked him, "In order to kill me, even you came to this dungeon in person. .If I don't know about it, it may be more beneficial to you. What do you want to do when you come to see me now?"

Pastor: "Just chatting with you."

Hearing this, Zhou Qian laughed again.He remembered what Xu Yang said to him not long ago - in my eyes, you are already a dead person.

Looking at the pastor, Zhou Qian said: "You think I will die here, under your calculations, so you come here to declare victory? You can't wait to come and tell me that you beat me?"

"Zhou Qian—" the pastor said without changing his expression, "I'm really just here to chat with you. After all, if you really die...do you want to know where your soul will return?"

"I won't die." Zhou Qian stared into the pastor's eyes, "So I'm sorry, I don't want to know."

"It would be a pity if someone like you died completely. In fact, I really just want to talk to you about how you view the world. For example——"

The pastor changed the question, "Do you believe in the existence of hell?"

Zhou Qian glanced at him lazily, without answering.

The pastor narrowed his eyes, as if recalling some distant past. "When I was studying abroad, I met a very special person by chance. He claimed that he knew the existence of hell. He thought it was another dimension of life, and maybe he could know the real universe when he went there. .

"Later he really committed suicide. Tell me, did he find hell?"

The pastor said to himself: "That person has anti-social tendencies, but his IQ is unusually high. He must have found key evidence for doing such a thing. So at that time I assumed that hell really existed.

"I'm not as desperate as that person. I won't kill myself just to find hell. I've been using other methods to get in touch with the world of dimensions other than reality. Then I found this game."

"It's really interesting. You continue." Zhou Qian's demeanor really seemed interesting.

After watching Zhou Qian for a while, the pastor continued: "You have also seen the subtlety of this game. The time of each dungeon is different. One Linekong City can generate countless sub-dungeons, in other words, it is derived Countless subdimensions, or subspaces.

"The same is true for the areas that legions can occupy. Each legion can open a separate space in the game. Those spaces exist completely independent of other areas and have their own time flow. Even the space will expand with the power of the legion. Expansion, Zhou Qian, you said——

"Does this look like the ever-expanding universe after the Big Bang?"

After looking at Zhou Qian thoughtfully for a while, the pastor said again: "The gods left a game box in the world, humans discovered it, opened it, and then started the game in a dimension different from reality.

"In a sense, this is not just a game. The box that carries the game itself is a universe, and it can transform into thousands of different spaces. Then you say...

"Similar to the dimension where the real world is, can we create a hell in this 'game' universe?"

Zhou Qian raised his eyes and met the priest's gaze, and heard him say, "Instead of looking for hell, why don't I just create one?"

The wind picked up a bit, and dust and sand came across the mountains and across the sea, blowing Zhou Qian's hair a little messy.

Facing the wind, the corners of his mouth curled up even more. "I thought that in this game, the players were all rushing to become gods or to ask God to realize their wishes. I didn't expect that you wanted to be the king of Hades. Are there any kings of Hades in hell? Don't you be afraid that they will blame you for stealing their jobs? ah?"

The pastor said: "Zhou Qian, I'm here to tell you this to tell you that you can become a ghost after death, and you can go to the hell I built in this game. You can make some requests about the afterlife in advance, and I will Be as satisfied as possible.”

"I'm curious, what is your purpose in building this world?" Zhou Qian asked him suddenly, "Do you want to be like the legendary Hades, who has the power of life and death?"

"People have to go through too many sufferings in life, birth, old age, sickness, death, parting from love, resentment and resentment, not getting what they want... If I am in charge of hell, I can reunite with the people I care about in another way, naturally Don't be afraid of life and death anymore."

The pastor looked at Zhou Qian, with a little regret in his eyes, "You have also experienced the most painful parting in the world. I thought you should understand me very well. But I seem to have forgotten one thing just now——

"You are sick. You have a limited sense of pain. You have no obsession with matters of life and death. Bai Zhou should know about this. Will he feel sad?

"A person like you, Zhou Qian, actually has no heart."

"Really?" Zhou Qian didn't seem to be irritated by his words at all, he just smiled and said, "I know what feelings I have for Brother Zhou, and I will gradually make him believe and feel it. Between us The feelings of an outsider like you can't affect anything, and I don't have to explain anything to a stranger like you. I just feel——

"You envy me instead, don't you? You can't accept someone's departure, you feel very painful. Are you wondering why I don't suffer?"

"Actually, pastor, it's not because I don't care that I'm not in pain. It's because I always have a belief that one day, I will find Bai Zhou and bring him back to the real world. You are different."

Zhou Qian's eyes were cold, and he said lightly, "Priest, you are actually just a coward.

"You want to create hell because you can't accept someone's departure? But have you ever thought about a question—since you have enough confidence that hell does exist, why don't you dare to go to hell to find him? What? You can kill yourself like that friend you knew."

Zhou Qian's eyes became full of sarcasm, "If it were me, if Bai Zhou really died, I would find him back if he went to the poor and fell to the underworld. Otherwise, you think I entered this game and wanted to go to this What is one of the wishes of the game exchange?"

The pastor was called a coward, but he was also not angry.Even his facial expression is still very gentle.

He said to Zhou Qian: "No, you misunderstood. What I said about life and death has nothing to do with love and affection. Maybe you can't understand, but I did it because I... pity all beings.

"I heard that the real hell is full of all kinds of horrible punishments. The flow of time there is very slow, and many people will be punished there for thousands of years.

"But the hell I created doesn't have that kind of fear. To put it another way...the world I created can also be called heaven. It is a paradise where people can go after death."

"Zhou Qian, goodbye. The next time we meet, we will be in the hell I created. I hope you will like it."

After the pastor finished speaking, he turned around with the lamp, and immediately disappeared without a trace along with the light.

All of this is like the end of a movie, and the curtain suddenly becomes pitch black.

Silence returned to the top of the mountain, and Zhou Qian was left alone.

A pastor is a person who guides believers to communicate with God.

Now this pastor is interesting, he wants to dominate a "hell".

Staring coldly at the direction where the pastor disappeared, Zhou Qian spit out three words without hesitation: "Hypocrite."

——Create a hell world in the game, imprison their souls or spirits in it after killing people, and realize your so-called eternity?who do you think You Are?

Frowning and thinking for a while, Zhou Qian's pupils became deeper.

It seems that some kind of premonition and all kinds of guesses through clues have been answered through the pastor's words just now.

The pastor really thought he was going to die, so he couldn't help but talk a lot.

He didn't care if he showed his flaws, so he did.

Ignoring the pastor, Zhou Qian concentrated his energy and shared vision with Xiaolong.

Then Zhou Qian frowned——

In the form of a ghost, Gao Shan mingled next to an old manor, which was suspected to be the base camp of the purple team.

As soon as Gao Shan rushed to the vicinity with Xiaolong, he came across the scene of Qi Liuxing leaving with Ke Yuxiao.

What's the matter with Qiliuxing?He wants to follow his tricks and enter the Taohong camp to find out the depth?

But what did Ke Yuxiao want to bring him there?

Although now Gao Shan can bring Xiaolong to follow them, through this method, Zhou Qian may directly know how many people there are in the Taohong Army, which is very critical for the final decryption.

However, because Gao Shan didn't dare to bring Xiaolong too close, Zhou Qian couldn't see too clearly, let alone hear what they were talking about.

Therefore, Zhou Qian was still quite worried about Ke Yuxiao's actions.

·

On the other hand, Qi Liuxing's words really moved those two cronies.

Among the two cronies Xu Yang left behind, one was obviously a role similar to Xu Yang's deputy.

He probably felt that what Qi Liuxing said was very reasonable, not only decided to let him go, but also decided to personally send him to the Pink Army.

After a while, he really sent Ke Yuxiao and Qi Liuxing away from the purple camp.

Continuing to walk forward, Qi Liuxing clearly saw the person wearing the green wristband passing in front of him - he had come to the territory of the Pink Army circle.

After arriving here, he glanced at the situation on Taohong's side, and the deputy immediately turned and left.

Ke Yuxiao didn't pay much attention to it, but looked at Qi Liuxing thoughtfully. "What you said just now surprised me. I haven't seen you for a short time, and you have matured a lot."

Silently counting the heads of the green camp, and trying to use the system panel to read the number of players from the Pink Legion, Qi Liuxing asked without looking up: "So what do you want to bring me here for? "

"Don't you want to kill me? I'll give you a chance to cooperate with Zhou Qian to kill me." Ke Yuxiao said with a smile.

Qi Liuxing didn't pay any attention to his words, but continued to count the heads as he followed him forward.

Seeing his actions, Ke Yuxiao couldn't help but speak. "Are you wondering how many of us are here?"

In a blink of an eye, he understood something, and said again: "I know. Do you think the Pink Army can know such a detailed answer? No, it won't. You underestimate the system. You will never pass the number of the Pink Army. Quantity, get the 'maximum value' of the number of people that the copy can finally bear."

Qi Liuxing didn't answer, and Ke Yuxiao said again: "Look, I didn't stop you from counting. I can even take you around the entire territory now occupied by the green camp. You can count heads casually, and then...

"Well, of course what I said just now was to tease you. You won't cooperate with Zhou Qian inside and outside to kill me.

"You will only watch with your own eyes, watching Zhou Qian be surrounded by us and finally die. I will take you to witness this scene with your own eyes. It must be very wonderful."

The sword cry suddenly sounded, it was the sound made by the sword in Qi Liuxing's hand sensing his master's anger and killing intent.

But the sound of the sword cry quickly disappeared again.

That's because under the anger, Qi Liuxing suddenly felt something strange again.

Why did Ke Yuxiao's personality change so drastically?

He is perverse, naughty, and crazy now, and there is even some childishness in his words.

But the Ke Yuxiao that Qi Liuxing knew had always been a calm and mature gentleman like jade.

How could this person in front of him be completely disguised as another person?

After a brief trance, Qi Liuxing asked him: "Where's your flute? Why have you never used it before?"

In a daze, Ke Yuxiao said: "I know, you are looking for an answer. But I will never tell you."

Ke Yuxiao smiled mischievously, then he pointed the gun at Qi Liuxing's head, and led him all the way to a small wooden house in the countryside.

"Go in and stay. Don't walk around. Others are not as easy to talk to as I am. You still have a purple wristband on your wrist. If they see you, they will kill you directly. As for the flute——"

Squinting his eyes and smiling, Ke Yuxiao said, "When Zhou Qian dies, I will use it to play a sad song to send him on his way."

"It won't be Zhou Qian who died, but you."

Qi Liuxing's hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened and then loosened.

In the past, he might not be able to restrain himself from stepping up to beat Ke Yuxiao severely.

But now he endured it, and he didn't even show much emotion in his eyes.

But the hatred in his eyes was obvious.

Ke Yuxiao caught that hatred, raised the corner of his lower lip slightly, and said rather meaningfully: "Tsk, I don't know... If he finds out that you look at him with such eyes, will it be What kind of mood is it?"

Qi Liuxing frowned and asked, "Him? Who are you talking about?"

"Nothing. A man who... died long ago."

Ke Yuxiao was still smiling.

Afterwards, he looked Qi Liuxing up and down: "The golden feather has reborn you from the ashes, and your heart has been replaced with metal. You really have changed a lot. It's a pity... I didn't get to taste your flesh and blood stew at that time." It tastes like soup."

Being so stimulated by Ke Yuxiao, Qi Liuxing restrained himself after being angry briefly at the beginning.He could faintly feel that Ke Yuxiao was a very crazy person. In order to prevent him from shooting himself, Qi Liuxing didn't draw his sword, or even show any killing intent.

He just picked up the table in the cabin and threw it at Ke Yuxiao as if venting his anger.

Ke Yuxiao managed to avoid it, and let the wooden table be smashed to pieces behind him. With his back to the dust and sawdust, he took another look at Qi Liuxing: "The wooden houses here are connected, don't look at them. It's small, and there have been many murders. Let's investigate the case."

After finishing speaking, the door was closed with a "bang", and Ke Yuxiao left.

Before leaving, he called someone from the legion: "Take care of him."

The man glanced in through the window, and asked Ke Yuxiao with some unease: "Did you change his wristband?"

"You have a gun, so you're afraid you won't be able to deal with him?" Ke Yuxiao asked.

The man swallowed, hesitated for a moment, and said boldly: "Didn't the pastor explain to us that we worked hard to get those people to join our green camp, just in case?

"Although they don't have bullets, the various weapons on their bodies can still kill people, but they can't use skills... But they can still attack physically. It's hard to defend..."

"Your bullets must be stronger than his sword. What are you afraid of? Bullets are the key to defeating the enemy." Ke Yuxiao said.

The man said: "The number of bullets is limited..."

For the Pink Legion, the number of bullets must be saved. At the same time, they must spend the shortest time to recruit players under the premise of pursuing efficiency.

Killing a few people to make an example to others, and then forcing all players to change their wristbands, is the most effective way.

When the rest of the players changed their wristbands and joined the green camp, they couldn't attack the people of the green pink army. They could only follow the general trend to collect clues.

This is much more cost-effective than directly forcing those players of different colors to find clues with weapons.The latter is more risky. Once those players wearing wristbands of other colors are scheming, it will be hard to guard against. Even if the members of the Pink Legion react in time and draw their guns to kill those players before being killed, the Pink Legion will consume Bullets will also be much more than those used to kill chickens and monkeys at the beginning.

So at this moment, that person really didn't understand why Ke Yuxiao didn't let Qi Liuxing change his wristband, and also entrusted him with such a dangerous task of guarding him.

"I heard that you still want to be promoted to the team leader." Ke Yuxiao looked at him and said, "If you guard this person with a gun, you can't do such a simple thing. How can you deserve to stay in the army?"

That person: "..."

"I just don't want to be on the same page with him. When I want to kill him, I can kill him at any time. Do you understand?" Ke Yuxiao said this coldly, and left.

That person: "..."

——It was said that Ke Yuxiao was a perverse and eccentric person, but looking at him now, he is really eccentric.

·

On the top of Ziwu Mountain, Zhou Qian shared the view with Xiaolong, and roughly counted the number of people who entered the dungeon from the Taohong Legion, and finally got the answer he wanted.

This answer was obtained by Qi Liuxing who went deep into the Pink Army regardless of the risk of his life.

Not long after the game started, when several people got together to analyze it, Zhou Qian had raised this idea—the number of the Pink Army means the answer.

How many of them come in is actually sending the answer to themselves.

This is indeed the case.

Especially when Zhou Qian found out that the pastor had come to this dungeon in person.

The current situation is very clear. The Pink Army sent so many people to kill him, and the one behind all this is this man called the pastor.

He is careful at every step, his scheming is deep, and he is well versed in the rules of the game.

Then the number of people he can bring must not be casual, but carefully calculated.

Sure enough, Qi Liuxing saw not only a lot of people from the Pink Legion along the way, but a lot of them.

In this way, Zhou Qian already had a clearer guess about the future direction of the dungeon, and immediately passed a message to Xiaolong through his mental power.

In a secluded place, Xiaolong nestled in Gao Shan's arms, grabbed the hem of his clothes, and said a few times: "Oh, woo, ah..."

Gao Shan also understood after it pointed fingers and feet, and left here temporarily, and began to race against time to complete the tasks assigned to him by Zhou Qian.

·

same moment.Purple base camp.

After leaving the office building, Xu Feiyu came here with Yindao and He Xiaowei.

An old manor house occupies a large area.After confirming the safety inside, this place temporarily became the base camp of the Fit Legion.

There weren't too many people here at the moment, so Xu Feiyu brought Yindao and the others into the manor all the way, and then led them directly to a bathroom on the third floor of the manor.

The manor has a medieval British style, with gardens and fountains.

It's just that due to the age and lack of maintenance, the flowers and plants in the garden have long since disappeared, and the fountain will no longer spray water.

But the strange thing is that after entering the room, the whole room was filled with a strong rose fragrance.

Furniture such as sofas, wooden stairs, and carpets are all covered with a thick layer of dust, but there are traces of cleaning on the first floor, which is probably the work of the Fit Legion.

From the second floor upwards, it was completely left unattended, thick dust could be seen on the floor and on the wooden stairs, and the messy footprints left by the members of the Fit Legion.

Before entering the bathroom, Yindao smelled a bloody smell from afar.

Xu Feiyu obviously came here to investigate, and when she walked into the bathroom, she stepped forward and opened the shower curtain.Immediately afterwards, Yin Dao and He Xiaowei saw the bright red blood in the bathtub.

Yin Dao immediately asked: "According to the logic, the people here have been dead for hundreds of years, how can there be blood of this color?"

"This is where you need to find the answer. We have checked everything up and down to ensure that it is safe enough. This place is huge, so we will temporarily use it as our assembly point, or base camp."

Xu Feiyu looked at Yindao and He Xiaowei and smiled, "The god-level player and his apprentice, please find out the secret here. How did the murderer commit the crime, and what are its characteristics?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Feiyu waved to the two of them, and Xu Feiyu walked towards the gate.

At this moment, only hearing the sound of "gurgling" water, Xu Feiyu immediately turned her head, and Yindao and He Xiaowei also looked in the same direction——

The blood in the bathtub seemed to be boiled, and suddenly boiled, small bubbles appeared on the surface, and some kind of black organs were faintly visible below, as if they were about to emerge.
