Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

In real life, the rules of the game of kings are very simple -

A dozen people form a circle and draw playing cards. Whoever has the highest number is the king of that round. He can say two numbers at will and ask them to do one thing together.Those who draw these two numbers must obey the king's instructions.

Now this special edition game of kings is undoubtedly very different.

According to the meaning of the system, the two people drawn by the king must be from the killer and the player respectively.The phrase it mentions "finishing kills one-on-one" most likely refers to the fact that the killer will slaughter the player.

It is likely that the killer and the player will be dealt number cards separately, with numbers "1" to "55" on the killer's side and "1" to "81" on the player's side.

As a king, you probably need to choose a number from each of these two intervals.

But in this case... how was the king elected?

In addition, if the killer really kills the player, how will the clues that the player had before help him, so that he can survive this kind of killing game?

After thinking about the whole game carefully, Zhou Qian felt that there was something very inconsistent in it.

When he tested Ruan Mei before, Ruan Mei's reaction was very unusual, and then think about the hidden clues of the worldview hidden in the murder exhibition hall...

Zhou Qian vaguely caught something, but he was not completely sure yet.

After the system read out part of the rules of the king game, it began to urge the yellow side to choose the representative who could obtain additional important information.

Undoubtedly, Zhou Qian became such a representative, and soon came to a corner of the chessboard under the guidance of the system.

Several iron pillars retracted into the ground one by one, and a door of the cage opened, and only Zhou Qian was allowed to go out.

Behind Zhou Qian, there were the expectant eyes of his teammates, as well as the resentful eyes of Xu Yang, Ke Yuxiao and others.

As for him, across a prison door, were the gazes of the killers looking at the rare food.

After Zhou Qian took a step outside, all the killers stepped forward a few steps, almost completely surrounding him, but due to certain rules, they barely managed to squeeze in front of Zhou Qian and kill him.

Even so, their eyes are already extremely uncomfortable.It's as if Zhou Qian is their snack.

"Zhou Qian—"

Zhou Qian heard Bai Zhou's voice behind him.

As soon as he turned his head, Zhou Qian saw his focused, serious and worried eyes.

Zhou Qian smiled and waved to him, then turned around without hesitation, and stepped into the situation as if surrounded by wolves.

Under the control of some unknown force, the killers barely made way.

Not long after Zhou Qian walked this path, he saw a man with an ax among them.

The man didn't know if he had the habit of chopping and cannibalizing human flesh. After Zhou Qian passed by him, he couldn't control himself and rushed towards him, lying on all fours like a dog on the ground behind Zhou Qian , his eyes fixed on his back, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help drooling.

Restricted by certain rules, he reluctantly stepped forward, went to Zhou Qian's side, and then ate his flesh and blood.

Seeing this situation, He Xiaowei in the cage couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

He has always been afraid of ghosts.But now he realizes that these killers are much scarier than ghosts.

Zhou Qian was able to walk over without changing his face.

But if it was me, I'm afraid I would kneel down if I couldn't walk halfway.

Along the way, Zhou Qian turned a blind eye to the greedy gazes of the killers, just kept moving forward, and walked to the end of the road according to the instructions sent by the system.

To his surprise, there was a door at the end of the road.

The door is transparent, the texture is between glass and crystal, and there are fine lines on it, making it impossible for Zhou Qian to see what is outside the door at a glance.

Both sides of the door are full of miasma and other things, which completely cover the mountains and fields. The system's prompt for this is: "Do not pass through the foggy area, you will get lost in it, and then die."

In this way, Zhou Qian ignored the miasma, but walked directly to the door.

After approaching the door, Zhou Qian stared outside the door for a long time through the transparent medium, and finally saw what was there—it turned out to be a balance.

To the naked eye, there is nothing at both ends of the balance, but it is not balanced, and now it is clearly tilting in one direction.

What would happen if the balance were tipped the other way?

What can the player do to tip the scales?

What is the function of this scale?

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke.

Zhou Qian noticed that the voice came from the translucent door in front of him.

"Hello, Zhou Qian."

——It was a voice full of youthfulness.

"What are you? Door God?" Zhou Qian was blunt.

"I am the world spirit of this world. I appear in the form of a door because I think that in this way, you may understand me better. I have always guarded the border of this world."

Zhou Qian asked again: "The spirit of the world? You made the world like this?"

The Spirit of the World sighed: "Look, we just want to escape. Soon our plan will be successful... All of us can get out."

"Go out? Where are you going?" Zhou Qian asked curiously.

"Of course it's a normal world. Who wants to be a shadow, who wants to live by others? We just want to go out and be the real masters of the world." The youthful voice of the spirit of the world seemed very innocent.

Zhou Qian asked: "What game will we play with the killer? Are they going to kill us?"

A pair of sly eyes appeared on the glass door, it winked playfully at Zhou Qian, and then said: "They won't kill smart people, they won't kill people who know too much information, and they won't kill...it's useless People! Hahahaha. Otherwise... things won’t work.”

"'Things can't be done'? You mean... about the 'going out'?" Zhou Qian asked him.

"Haha, you won the game of checkers. You are really smart! You can see through! Then don't worry, the killer really doesn't like people who are too smart. You and your team may be very safe! They will come from The other side chose someone to kill!"

The World Spirit smiled, and asked again expectantly, "Okay, that's it!"

"Wait, I still have a question." Zhou Qian looked at the mysterious balance again through the door, "You have been there before, right? Do you know how to open the balance?"

"The movement of the balance, of course, requires the sacrifice of life. To continue, a sacrifice is required; to end, a new sacrifice is still required."

The spirit of the world smiled, but said this sentence without any scruples, and then it said to Zhou Qian, "But you can't make it through."

"Why?" Zhou Qian asked.

"I said, I am guarding the border of the world." The spirit of the world said.

"So, when will you take everyone to the world you want to go?"

"Twelve midnight in five hours."

"If I pass through the area over there with the misty fog, can I reach the position of the balance?"

"You will only fall into the lost space crack."

A certain guess is gradually taking shape, Zhou Qian asked: "Where will the people who were killed go?"

This time, the spirit of the world did not answer him.

Zhou Qian asked again: "Where are the players who survived? Will they go out with you?"

At this time, the eyes of the World Spirit suddenly became unpredictable.He replied with a very thought-provoking sentence: "You don't really belong here, right? I didn't have you in my plan... But thank someone for making a gift and sending you here.

"I think you'll be back where you should be. Just wait five hours."

This sentence of the world spirit is really too crucial.

He was simply expressing the real clearance conditions—as long as he survived the next "Game of Kings", he would be able to spend these five hours safely.

When the time comes, the spirit of the world will lead the killers to where they want to go.

As for the players, they can clear the level and leave the instance, returning to the reality they should have brought.

But Zhou Qian still felt that... Maybe this is not the end.

In "Apple Paradise", there is a difference between ordinary customs clearance, general hidden achievements and ultimate hidden achievements.

According to the meaning of the spirit of this world, I am afraid that he can only get ordinary hidden achievements.

Only by really figuring out the meaning of the door, the spirit of the world, the homicide exhibition hall and that level, and trying to crack it, can you get the ultimate achievement.

Looking at the door in front of him, Zhou Qian still wanted to ask this world spirit with a young voice some questions, but he disappeared as if out of thin air, and never spoke again.Even the eyes on the door disappeared, and they could no longer be seen by Zhou Qian.

Zhou Qian looked at the door carefully up and down, and even reached out to touch it, but he didn't feel anything special, as if it was just an ordinary glass door.

The system's message sounded immediately, it was urging Zhou Qian to return to the position of the iron cage.

Before leaving, Zhou Qian took a last look outside through the glass door.

Sure enough, he found out—the scale tilted a little bit more.

·

When Zhou Qian returned to the prison, several iron pillars fell down again.

But this time they did not rise again.

A door connecting the inside and outside of the prison stood just like this in the grass.

Seeing this, everyone knew in their hearts that the game of kings was about to begin.

Although the prison door is always open, under the constraints of the rules of the game, no player dares to leave without permission.

When entering the door, Zhou Qian met the earnest eyes of his teammates, as well as the dark eyes of Ke Yuxiao and others in the distance.

At this moment Xu Yang happened to be next to Ke Yuxiao: "What the hell is going on here? Why did the pastor leave by himself? He...he didn't know that we were doomed, and left us here to die?!"

The pastor's departure for no reason, in the eyes of the uninformed players of the Pink Legion, is indeed a huge negative signal - did the pastor lose the game and think that if he stays, he will die, so he will leave?

There was a sick look in Ke Yuxiao's eyes, but he quickly covered it up and did not let Xu Yang see it.Then he said: "How could it be? Do you know how much the Pink Army spent to train me?"

"You?" Xu Yang sneered and shook his head, and said in an accusatory tone, "If you weren't stupid, we would have lost at all! Why did Taohong train you?"

"Of course it's because of my special skills."

"I don't see any special skills in you."

Ke Yuxiao didn't look at Xu Yang, but glanced at Zhou Qian from a distance, then turned around and walked to the corner to sit down. "It's okay if you don't see it. This is what makes me special. My skills are unique magic weapons."

·

There are 10 minutes left before the game of kings officially starts.

Inside the cage, a card appeared in each of the 81 players' hands.

Looking outside the cage, the killers also have one in their hands.

The cards are digital, and numbers appear randomly each round.The system is arranged in this way to avoid the inconvenience caused by dealing cards to a full 81 people.

Afterwards, the system sent further rules.

As for the number problem, the player's number is indeed "1" to "81"; the killer's number is "82" to "136".The king needs to take a number from each of these two intervals each time.

The most important thing is the selection of the king——

Only then did the players know that the system will provide a mechanical dice, and the dice will automatically produce random numbers. Whichever number it appears, the one who gets this number is the king of this round.

[Please note that the king is born from the players in the first round, and from the killers in the second round; since the number of killers is much smaller than the number of players, it is unfair for each side to have one round, so the king is still born from the killers in the third round Birth, and so on...]

"Fuck, can this system know mathematics? It's not fair to us like this!"

It was He Xiaowei who complained.

He couldn't help complaining, and asked Zhou Qian in a low voice: "Qian'er, how are you going there?"

Zhou Qian told him through private chat props: "There are three hints about this game - 1. The killer may not kill smart people, especially those who win the game of checkers; 2. The killer will not kill people who know too much about him." 3. Don’t kill people who are too useless.”

He Xiaowei: "Ah, what kind of charade is this?"

Zhou Qian said: "I already understand what he means, and I will explain it to you later. You tell me first, and I will let you and Yindao collect the exploration information obtained by everyone. Is there any story related to Saiyan Hotel on our side? ?”

He Xiaowei: "Saiyan Hotel? Is it the swastika killer related to Hall C, and the case where a man and a woman collaborated to commit the crime? Are you looking for these three murderers?"

Zhou Qian shook his head seriously: "None."

"What do you mean?" He Xiaowei asked.

Zhou Qian said: "In exhibition hall C, the killer related to tattooing the swastika is very simple; but the other case is more complicated, involving collaborative crimes. After entering the virtual game, we went to the Saiya Hotel, and we did see a man and a woman who committed the crime. situation, but do you remember one thing—that man and woman, and those cases, are not true."

"I remember!" He Xiaowei suddenly wanted to understand something, "I'm going... Could it be..."

"Yes. There was one thing in that dungeon that I didn't understand. After we went to the Saiyan Hotel, we did meet the swastika killer. He was a staff member of the hotel and killed two of our teammates. This killer It can correspond to the tattoo murder case in the exhibition hall.

"But what we entered at night was the world of manuscripts. The appearance of the male and female murderers, the appearances of all the dead, their characters, and related stories are all materials compiled by the writer Luo Yu. Those are not real murders. We are in the manuscript world. The dead people I saw couldn't be compared with the corpses in Exhibition Hall C at all.

"In other words, those corpses in Hall C whose heads were smashed and bodies tied up, who are the murderers? Have we ever met that murderer?"

The dead body of the baby in Hall A pointed to Ruan Mei as the murderer.

Players progress to the virtual game in the exhibition hall and see Ruan Mei in the game

There are two types of corpses in Hall C.

The tattoo is related to the hotel staff, and the players also saw him after entering the virtual game.

But another kind of corpse, after the player enters the virtual game, has never actually encountered it.

——Where did the real murderer hide?

He Xiaowei: "We, we haven't seen anyone else. Only... the tour guide? But that tour guide is not like that, he is so weak. Or... Or Luo Yu? But he is a writer! He just went to the hotel to find inspiration Right? How did he kill people?"

Zhou Qian said: "So, finding information about the Saiyan Hotel is very important for us to pass the game. When we absorb newcomers first, they may not believe me, so they hide something. Please help me and ask again. Be sure to tell me the relevant information .”

At this point, Zhou Qian thought for a while, and simply untied the private chat tool, and asked loudly: "I'll ask again, has anyone explored Saiyan Hotel after coming to this instance?"

After a while of silence, someone finally answered.

——That's Mengbie.
