Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

in-game.A semi-open copy of number zero.

Holding the invitation letter sent by Shao Chuan himself, Zhou Qian was able to come here. He was led by Bai Zhou to the lake, when he saw the back of a man fishing.

It was as if a group of people outside were killing him for him, but he remained steadfast.

Bai Zhou was profitable for him, so he was imprisoned for so many years.Thinking of this, Zhou Qian was angry.In addition, thinking that he might be inseparable from Shao Chuan for being chased and killed, Zhou Qian couldn't show a good face, and was about to speak up to give someone a blow, but Shao Chuan spoke first.

"Can you fish?"

Zhou Qian: "I know everything."

Shao Chuan didn't look back at them, he just smiled and said, "That's not false. If you just talk about the first impression, Bai Zhou can calm down and sit down to fish. You definitely don't look like you. But in the end you might You can still sit still than Bai Zhou. You have a tough heart."

"You have good eyesight and you will praise me. That doesn't mean I don't blame you. Tell me—" Zhou Qian walked to him and sat down, "What's going on?"

Shao Chuan gently put down the fishing rod in his hand, and said, "Bai Zhou, avoid it for a while, I'll talk to him alone."

Bai Zhou frowned slightly, then looked at Zhou Qian.

Zhou Qian nodded towards him. "Then I'll find you later?"

"I'll pick you up directly later." Bai Zhou took Zhou Qian's hand and squeezed it, then turned and left.

Zhou Qian glanced at Bai Zhou's back, walked to the lake and sat down, and saw Shao Chuan finally turn towards him.

The color of the lake and water here is just right, making Shao Chuan's eyebrows and eyes picturesque.He has a gentle temperament, like a banished immortal walking out of an ancient painting, untouched by the world of mortals.

But he is by no means the kind of cold and desolate exile who is unattainable and unapproachable. On the contrary, he is more like the kind of hermit who lives in the city, living in a hut in a human environment, and does not hear the noise of cars and horses.

Shao Chuan is an old-fashioned person from appearance to temperament, and it is easy to get close to him at first glance.

Zhou Qian prided himself on being able to see through the warmth and coldness of human beings since he was a child, and he was always more wary when he saw strangers.

But this time when he saw Shao Chuan, he still felt a little close to him. The hostility and anger in his heart before coming here disappeared invisible in his eyes that were as soft as water and tolerant of everything.

"I opened the semi-open dungeon No. 0. At that time, I created a very early legion." Shao Chuan said.

"The number one Tiger Legion?" Zhou Qian said.

"Yes. You can see that there are no people in the territory of the Huben Army now. Guess why it is still ranked first?" Shao Chuan asked again.

Zhou Qian thought for a while: "Shouldn't the year be included in the calculation?"

"That's right. The system's algorithm for calculating the rank of the legion is very complicated, and the calculations are weighted by various indicators. The year accounts for a lot of weight. The system believes that the longest time the legion has been established, the greater the prestige. I established the Huben Army... It was 200 years ago. I was the only one in the whole army back then."

Shao Chuan smiled at Zhou Qian, "Do you think I'm an old monster?"

"It would be strange if you had accumulated so much wealth and power at a young age, and still managed so many secret institutions in the real world without anyone noticing."

Zhou Qian said, "You said that you lived more than 200 years, but it is reasonable. So——

"Are you the one who started the game?"

"I can only say that I am the one who opened the game this time." Shao Chuan said, "When I entered the game, the content in it was already very rich. All kinds of clues show that many people have opened this game in history. It's just that Every once in a while, the game shuts down."

"According to what you mean, some of the myths and legends are indeed true in the thousands of years from ancient times to the present. Asking for immortality, ascension to immortality, does exist, and people can realize it through games. It's just based on the game system Those who become immortals in this way cannot tell the truth. To the outside world, they can only say that they suddenly realized."

Zhou Qian said, "If you put it in a modern way...that is, they have some kind of special superpower through some kind of testing and training system left by aliens. Then——

"What about you? Have you become a god?"

"If having certain 'superpowers' is defined as becoming a god, then I might be one of them." Shao Chuan said with a smile, "But Bai Zhou's true transformation into a god is almost unprecedented."

Zhou Qian: "Tell me specifically?"

Shao Chuan said: "Where do we start? Let's start with the opportunity to open the game.

"When I was young, I liked rubbing inscriptions. I took a lot of risks and went to the imperial tombs of the Ming Dynasty. I had the audacity to secretly rubbing inscriptions in the imperial tombs."

"Where is Nanjing Xiaolingwei?" Zhou Qian asked.

"Yes. At that time, I picked up a palm-sized box. It was really only the size of a palm. It was shaped like a figure of eight formations. At first glance, I thought it was a tortoise shell. Anyway, it is actually inconspicuous .”

With a self-deprecating smile, Shao Chuan said, "I don't know why, I just saw that this thing is destined, and I hugged it every night to sleep. One night, I felt that I heard the voice of the god living in the box. After that , and I'm in the game.

"In the game, the first wish I made to the system was to have the ability to make money. You also know what era I came from. Later, I was injured and broke my leg, and I asked the system for health. When I found out I will age, and I made a wish for a long life to the system."

Zhou Qian said: "Is the system satisfying you? It seems that you are destined for the system. I have been in this game for a long time. The god search system has just been opened to me, and I haven't had the chance to make a wish to the gods yet."

"I was able to realize so many wishes, in fact, it was only because I spent too much time in the game." Shao Chuan said, "At that time, there was no one else in the game. All I played were single-player copies. I was born in a high-ranking The powerful family of officials often do good deeds to help the poor...

"As you said, when I was young and naive, I really felt that God gave me this game, because I felt that I had done good people and good deeds, and I was giving me back.

"Later, when the national destiny declined, I even thought about making a wish directly to the system to save the country. But how can I change the national destiny through a game alone? I can't do the conditions put forward by the game. I can only... be able to save the country. One person counts as one.

"So I proposed to the system that more people should join in. I thought that the system would save more people in need."

Hearing this, Zhou Qian's expression has become very serious.

Shao Chuan is still telling his story——

Shao Chuan used to be a young, enthusiastic person, full of great kindness and love in his heart, and held the idea that wealth can benefit the world.

He thought that his kindness touched God, so God gave him a game that can experience people and make wishes.He felt that if more and more people joined the game and everyone had extraordinary abilities... how wonderful would that be?

Especially when the country fell into war, he became more determined in this idea.If soldiers can possess extraordinary power, why should the country be afraid of foreign enemies?

It's just that this wish is not simple, and the system has given Shao Chuan quite a lot of tests.By the time he finally passed the test, the war was over.

At that time Shao Chuan felt that it was all right.It is not a bad thing for ordinary people to have some supernatural power.

So he decided to continue with his plan.

He is not afraid of being lonely by himself, he hopes that everyone can live a long life like him, not be afraid of diseases, and even possess superpowers when necessary.We don't ask everyone to be a savior, but at least they have the ability to save themselves in the face of sudden natural disasters.

Later Shao Chuan succeeded.

The game is no longer just open to him alone, but like a god, he can hear the desires of the people, and take the initiative to find them and attract them to join the game.

Shao Chuan said: "However, the system reminded me that not everyone's brain waves can sense the existence of this game, and then join in. Many mental patients have lesions in the frontal lobe of the brain, and the brain waves are special, but they are easy to receive. The message of the game. Inspired by this, I set up many mental hospitals one after another.

"My ancestors have the right to be rich, and I have lived for so long, and I have received so many rewards... Although it was not easy to do all this, I did it anyway. Not to mention that I had a long time, not to mention that at that time, I was more I got a good help."

When Zhou Qian heard this, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, Shao Chuan said: "When I was 80 years old, I looked about the same age as I am now. I picked up an 8-year-old child, his name is Xie Huai."

When Xie Huai was mentioned, Zhou Qian deliberately looked at Shao Chuan a few more times, but did not see any change in his expression.

I don't know if it's because he has lived so long that he has learned the ability to not easily feel joy, sadness, and anger, or it's just easier for him to hide his true emotions.

During the war-torn era, Shao Chuan picked up many homeless and abandoned children.

Xie Huai is one of them, he is the most beautiful, the most sensible, and the smartest one.

Getting along with people is also about fate.Among the many children he picked up, Shao Chuan liked Xie Huai the most, and he really loved him as if he were his own flesh and blood.

Shao Chuan still remembers the first time he saw Xie Huai——

He was listening to an opera in a teahouse, and was hit by a little beggar, who took his purse away.

Shao Chuan chased him out, and with the ability he brought out from the game, he easily caught the little beggar.

The dirty child stared at him with wide eyes, full of vigilance, but bright like stars.

Shao Chuan felt that the child was not a mortal at almost a glance.

His eyes are so radiant, and his face looks like a big universe.

For the rest of the children picked up, Shao Chuan raised them uniformly until they were 18 years old, and he almost stopped contacting them.He has done his best, what will happen to the individual in the future depends on the fate of the individual.

After all, his appearance will not change, if he stays with them for a long time, his secret will be exposed.

Only Xie Huai, Shao Chuan kept him by his side regardless of the consequences.

Later, Xie Huai really discovered the problem with him.

Xie Huai grew up from 8 years old to 18 years old. He asked Shao Chuan: "Master, why don't you grow old? You are still the same as before."

Restricted by the rules of the system, Shao Chuan could not say much, and only half-jokingly said: "I am asking immortals."

Xie Huai is 28 years old.Shao Chuan remained unchanged.This seems a little unreasonable.

Xie Huai asked that question again, and Shao Chuan replied, "Of course it's because I succeeded in cultivating immortals."

So Xie Huai said to him firmly: "Master, then I also want to cultivate immortality."

"Not everyone has this fate." Shao Chuan said with a smile.

Xie Huai's complexion was unprecedentedly serious.

At that time, Shao Chuan was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, and Xie Huai half-kneeled to help him beat his legs. While doing the beating, he lowered his head and said, "If there is really the art of cultivating immortals, I must practice it."

Shao Chuan was amazed at Xie Huai's persistence, and asked, "Why?"

Xie Huai has always been mild-tempered, well-behaved and sensible.

It was the first time that Shao Chuan saw other characteristics in him, such as paranoia.

Back then, Xie Huai raised his head and looked at him with those bright eyes: "Because I want to be with you all the time. I am not afraid that I will become older and uglier than you, but I am afraid that I will leave you first.

"I want to give you an old age and take care of your aftermath, and then go to hell to accompany you. You have taken care of me all your life, and I don't want you to worry about these things for me after I die. I want...

"I just want to be with you all the time."

When Shao Chuan heard this, he felt very heartwarming.

At an octogenarian age, he still met such a good boy, it was impossible not to be moved.At that time, how could he have thought that the two of them would come to where they are now.

At this moment, with a sigh, Shao Chuan said to Zhou Qian again: "After I successfully made a wish and made the game open to other people, Xie Huai soon received the call from the system. When he found me, I was finally able to give everything to him. Tell him the whole story. In fact, at that time, from the outside, he was already much older than me... I took him to read books, practice, and taught him all the experience, but he still called me master, and sometimes he called me master."

"Later, Xie Huai also regained his youth. He was really smart, and sometimes faced with some experiences, he was much stronger than me. In short, in the game, we jointly developed dungeons and completed one test after another; in reality, in order to help more people Joining the game, we have to do a lot of work. We cooperate with each other tacitly, it can be said that we are invincible, and all difficulties can be easily solved.

"I didn't expect that my actions...actually opened Pandora's box. The development of the game has reached a point beyond my control."

Zhou Qian glanced at him and said, "So, the Holy Mother cannot be."

Although Shao Chuan has the heart to benefit the world, he made this decision at that time, but it was not due to the heart of the Holy Mother.

It is really because he has experienced the scene of the country being destroyed and the family being destroyed, and he has also seen the situation where the country is occupied inch by inch.

The corpse wrapped in horse leather, the blood flowing on the scull... Seeing everything, Shao Chuan was helpless.

At that time, he couldn't help thinking that whether the box was a game of cultivating immortals left by the gods, or a high-tech left by some advanced civilization descending on the earth...as long as the people of the country can become powerful through this kind of game, they can no longer be affected by it in the future. Bullying, then, it might be a good thing to participate in game experience, as long as they are willing.

At this time, Shao Chuan was not angry at all with Zhou Qian's words that seemed too ridiculous.

He just continued: "Slowly, the game has changed from a single-player dungeon to a multi-player dungeon, and the system has also made a new division of player levels.

"Later, players after S rank started thinking about recruiting apprentices, hoping to help promote newcomers through mentoring and apprenticeship, so as to form cliques and build their own network of relationships.

"But they can't accept apprentices casually, it depends on the player's potential and character, so they made a wish to the system, established a master-apprentice system, and also established a virtual game hall. As a result, the game videos of players below the S level can be viewed by S Players above level can see it. Of course, the system will make strict regulations on confidentiality.

"Later, someone made a wish to the system and established a gambler mechanism...

"The game is becoming more and more complicated. Many people get lost in the complicated network of relationships and power, and have long forgotten their original intentions."

Hearing this, Zhou Qian understood.

In the beginning, this game was just a pure upgrade game including fighting monsters and deciphering. As long as the player reaches a certain level, he can meet the gods and make a wish.

The god's wish is conditional, and if its requirements are met, the player will be able to realize the wish.

The rules of this game were originally so simple.

When more and more people joined the game, everything changed.

In the beginning, the purpose of most people was the same as Shao Chuan's. They entered the game to seek health, longevity, wealth, or marriage and love...

But in the end, many of them were lost in the sense of accomplishment that the utopian world of the game brought them, which could not be achieved in real life.

They want to establish a legion, recruit disciples, have strong connections, call the wind and rain, occupy territory through the legion, and rule the world...

Even if they got to the point of meeting the gods, the wishes they made may have nothing to do with longevity and health. Almost all the wishes they made were to increase the rules of the game or increase the dungeon mode.

In this way, the game left by the gods was actually very simple at first.

It's only getting more complicated because more and more people are playing the game.

The complexity of the game is completely artificial.

Zhou Qian asked Shao Chuan: "What you are talking about now is the mode of ordinary players. Then what about the so-called god-level players, Bai Zhou who transforms people?"

Shao Chuan looked at the lake in front of him again, and after a long silence, he said, "That's right. The birth of the god-level player system is another wish I made to the system. On the road of cultivating immortality and becoming a god, I was also paranoid... It's too late to stop now. In order to deal with Xie Huai and save Bai Zhou's life, I have no choice but to continue the experiment of transforming gods."

Thinking of the fragmented appearance of Bai Zhou when he first saw him in Area X, Zhou Qian frowned and stared at Shao Chuan, naturally feeling a little angry again.

He would like to hear what Shao Chuan's reason was.

Shao Chuan said: "After walking in the game for so long, I have learned more and more about the story of the gods and the origin of the box. It is indeed an alien object.

"After a period of time, Xie Huai and I realized one thing at the same time. In fact, at that time, he and I never really succeeded in transforming into a god. Because our physique is human after all, we can't carry real divine power at all. So we Think about genetic modification.

"In ancient times, people didn't have the concept of the earth, how could they know aliens? So they collectively called those aliens with great wisdom, special abilities, and appearances different from humans on earth, as gods.

"Look, Zhou Qian, are the Fuxi and Nuwa in the rumors both human bodies and snake tails?"

Zhou Qian didn't say anything.

Shao Chuan said again: "The ancient gods have all left. I spent a lot of energy, financial and material resources, and finally found out that there is a god who stayed here. His name is Shihu.

"I first made a wish to the system, wanting to know the story of Shihu. Then I found out that he was originally a weed in Shihu Mountain, but was picked up by Nu Wa and transformed into a god.

"I can't help but think, what kind of technology is that that can turn ordinary grass into a god with great supernatural powers? Can I have a chance to get the genetic code of Shihu?

"From the system, I learned that Shihu was physically dead and was hidden by him. I made another wish to the system to find Shihu's body. I succeeded."

Zhou Qian's eyes were cold and expressionless. "Bai Zhou's 'dragon form' is half human, half snake. Is it the same as Fuxi and Nuwa? What about Shihu? Is he also half human and half snake?"

"Somewhat similar, but not quite." Shao Chuan said, "Bai Zhou still has a human part in his body. Anyway——

"After finding Shihu's body, I started to form a team, started experiments related to body genetic modification, and named it the 'God-making Project'."

"This plan is part of the system's participation. This is one of the wishing conditions given by the system. If the transformation is completed, the system needs to train god-level players through a special game mode. After all, they have special bodies, and their aptitude is also higher than that of ordinary players. Great cut. For the balance of the game, the system created a training system for them.

"At the same time, we found through some simulation experiments that god-level players will go berserk during the period of transforming into gods, or even in the later stage when using divine power. In order to solve this problem, in order to help them choose a suitable guide object, help They turned into gods, I made a wish to the system and established a 'training shepherd' system."

at this point.Zhou Qian basically understood everything he should know and what he shouldn't know.

He didn't look at Shao Chuan, but looked at the lake.

The buoy on the water quickly sank and floated, which meant that there were fish biting the bait.

Zhou Qian said, "The fish is hooked. Are you not moving?"

Shao Chuan said: "Let it go."

"Why pretend to be a good person at this time?" Zhou Qian said very bluntly, "Even if it escaped from the fishhook and its mouth was injured, it has a high probability of not living long."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shao Chuan to say anything else, Zhou Qian asked him again: "It seems that your relationship with Xie Huai is not so good. You raised him yourself, and you have built so many things together in and out of the game... How did they get to the point of killing each other? In addition—”

Zhou Qian asked the most important question: "Why did the pastor under Xie Huai insist on killing me? Why did you come to me and tell me so much?"

The author has something to say:

Dong Xiaoqi in the [-]th floor of hell shouted tearfully: Shao Chuan!Give me back Shihu's body! ! ! !
