Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

Shao Chuan didn't answer Zhou Qian's question right away, he just said: "This game originally belonged to me only, and not long after I started it, I already regretted it.

"Opening the game is a very difficult thing. It took me so many years to do it. Then I found out that it is even more difficult to stop the game from being open to other people. In a short period of time, I simply cannot do it."

Zhou Qian interrupted him suddenly: "When you decided to start this game, did you have any selfish intentions?

"You said that you liked Xie Huai very much back then. Then, when you watch him grow old, do you feel... If he joins the game, he can gain longevity like you, and even other abilities, which is very important to him How about a good thing?"

Zhou Qian's question was too blunt and a bit rude.

Shao Chuan still didn't mind, but just asked with a smile: "If I don't want him to grow old or die, why don't I just make a wish and let him stay young forever? Isn't that much easier?"

Zhou Qian didn't answer, Shao Chuan said: "Actually, shortly after entering the game, when I was brushing the dungeon alone, I experienced a very special dungeon story in the early days, and that story was related to cause and effect. I got admonition through that dungeon ——

"This game came to me. In my opinion, the god who left this game summoned me. The moment the god interfered in my life, I was out of the shackles of this ordinary law of cause and effect. So, whether it is I personally gain longevity, wealth, or something else, and I don’t affect the karma of other people. But other people are different. They are still alive in this world, and I can’t just interfere with other people’s karma, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.”

After listening, Zhou Qian also smiled: "According to what you mean, you have 'jumped out of the three realms, not in the five elements'?"

Shao Chuan asked again: "Are you still in the 'Three Realms'?"

Zhou Qian raised his eyebrows, and said again: "According to the pastor, if I die, the king of hell will not accept me, so the pastor wants to be the king of hell who surrenders me. From this point of view, it seems that I am indeed in the middle of the three realms." It's gone. But what's a priest to do?"

Shao Chuan smiled softly, looked at Zhou Qian quietly for a moment, and then said: "I got married when I was 15 years old, um... According to the current view, it is marriage. It was the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. I had never seen the bride before hijab, and I didn't know how to get along with her at first, but later on, I respected each other like a guest. We also had a child.

"When my wife was seriously ill, I thought about making a wish through the game. But the hints and warnings given to me by the gods, as well as the tragedy of the dungeon story are vivid in my mind. Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. Forces interfering with my wife's karma have dire consequences.

"So after she died of illness, I buried her with my own hands. Later, in order to prevent the child from finding out that I would not grow old, I also left his side early."

Sighing for the second time, Shao Chuan said: "Since then, I have learned not to have too much involvement with anyone in the world, and I don't want to experience the pain of watching the death of a loved one with my own eyes.

"Later... I didn't leave Xie Huai's side early when he was 18 years old. It was indeed a mistake on my part. I never thought that I would have such a deep relationship and bond with a person in the future."

"Zhou Qian, for Xie Huai, I have been reluctant and indulged, which is why these tragedies later happened. But I have never had any selfishness towards him."

Shao Chuan answered Zhou Qian's words head-on, "I chose to open the game. At first, I really wanted many people to have extraordinary power. In ancient times, there was a 'Fengshen Bang' in the legend. How could I know that such a game never existed at that time?" How can a game make many people become gods through experience?"

Zhou Qian seemed to have realized something. "You have no selfishness towards him. Because when you met him, you had already lived to be 80 years old. You have already seen the love and hatred in the world very lightly. You know how to pick it up and let it go.

"But he was only 8 years old when he met you, and he has been with you since childhood...he has selfishness towards you.

"I'm afraid it's because you protected him so well that he only knew how to pick it up and own it, but didn't know how to let it go. That's why he became like this later."

Shao Chuan smiled wryly. "Zhou Qian, you are really transparent. So you see, I am not as good as you, and now I have to pay the price."

"No, from another point of view, you are cruel enough and ruthless enough to let go of your wife." Zhou Qian said, "But if I met Bai Zhou who was sick and dying, I would save him at all costs. He. You know that I am a person who never cares about the consequences. "

"No, you don't care about the consequences...you always have the ability to find a very comprehensive way."

Shao Chuan looked at him appreciatively, "If you interfere with cause and effect but dare not bear the price, then you are reckless. But I think, if it were you, you would not be afraid to bear the price."

"Stop it. Don't continue to praise me. You praise me because you want to dig a hole for me. How can there be praise for no reason?"

Zhou Qian stretched his waist, "Tell me about you and Xie Huai. You haven't answered my question just now."

Shao Chuan continued to tell the story.

Soon after opening the game to others, he regretted it.

On the one hand, he overestimated the generosity of the gods.

On the other hand, he thought that if other people joined the game, they would be able to break away from the ordinary causal rules like him, but he didn't expect that the gods actually compromised in this regard.

The gods in the game are not willing to help so many people realize their wishes easily. As the number of people increases, the difficulty of the game increases.

Many critically ill patients who are dying hope to gain a new life with the help of games.But they often still die in the game.

At that time, the gods will return them to the world, that is, restore the cause and effect that belonged to them and return them to the world.

It is also for this reason that there are so many people who enter the game, but there are very few who can easily see the gods like Shao Chuan.

After the player reaches the S level, many times they will be at a loss, not knowing where to go next.Countless people told them that they would see gods in the game.But where the gods are hidden, few people know.

"For some kind-hearted players who were accidentally involved in the game and were killed by other players, maybe if it wasn't for this game, they shouldn't have died so early. I think their deaths were all caused by me... So I made a wish later and built many cities like Blue Harbor City.

"Because of this, many of the NPCs you see in semi-open dungeons like Line Harbor City are actually transformed from players after death. They just don't remember. This is a way to temporarily keep these lives alive."

"I didn't do this to completely trap them in the game, but it was just a stopgap measure. I'm still thinking about how to deal with these people. It's a pity...

"This can be regarded as another mistake of mine. It was my fault to release the game. I wanted to make up for it under guilt, and left these lives. It was my fault and my fault."

At this point, Shao Chuan sighed for the third time. "It probably started when I built Blue Harbor City, and after discovering that I really left so many lives behind and didn't let them die, Xie Huai had another idea——

"He discovered that he could control the entire world through this game. The dimension to which this game belongs is separated from the three realms of reality, so he believes that he can become the master of this space, in charge of the lives of people here, as well as the lives of people here. die."

"Xie Huai wants to build heaven, earth, and hell here. What the priest has to do is to be the master of hell. Blue Harbor City is one of their plundering targets.

"Do you still remember Shan Sheng? I sent him to the Taohong Legion as an undercover agent very early on. In order to prevent the entire Blue Harbor City from falling into the territory of Taohong, and to prevent so many lives from being sucked into the so-called 'hell', he was in the I sacrificed myself in the last dungeon."

People like Shao Chuan finally showed regret in his eyes.

"In short, shortly after the birth of Linekong City, I gradually discovered that Xie Huai's thoughts were different from mine. At the beginning, he hid it very well. But one day, I made up my mind to completely close this game. At that time, he couldn't hide it.

"I raised him, the two supported each other, and walked side by side in the game for so many years... In the end, we finally embarked on two completely different paths."

"Before the genetic modification experiment was completely successful, Xie Huai hid it from me and conspired with a few radical researchers to quickly transform himself into a so-called god.

"Bai Zhou's steps to become a god are perfect. When he succeeded in becoming a god, he was guided by you, but Xie Huai is different.

"He didn't pass the complete test and inspection. After transforming into a god, his character became extraordinarily brutal. He completely became... a person I don't know at all."

Shao Chuan said, "Let such a tyrant dominate the game, what will be the consequences?

"Xie Huai is a monster I raised with my own hands. I must kill him and close this game."

At this point, Shao Chuan stood up.

A leisurely person suddenly became extremely serious. Zhou Qian raised his eyes and glanced at him, but he also stood up. Seeing him facing himself, he said solemnly: "Zhou Qian, I make a wish to the gods to close the game, and the gods will shut down the game." They gave me conditions again. There are two conditions, one is Xie Huai's life, and the other is my own life.

"It was my wrong steps that caused almost irreparable consequences. But fortunately, there is still a chance to recover from the overwhelmed water. I have been lingering until now, just waiting for someone who can replace me to appear.

"And you are that person."

Zhou Qian asked him, "Why do you see that?"

Shao Chuan said: "Gods selectively open copies for players. In a short period of time, you have collected five kinds of props related to God's creation. But do you know how much time I spent in order to obtain them? I It took ten years. It took me ten years even if the difficulty of the game didn’t increase and I brushed the book alone. But how many months have you been in the game?

"I am the one chosen by the gods to start the game. But the most important destiny is not on me. You are the one chosen by the gods. You have the right to end this game."

"When you collect all seven creation-related props, you can get the coordinates of the gods' whereabouts after leaving the earth. Therefore, unless you are truly regarded as the same kind by the gods, you will not get such coordinates.

"Priest and Xie Huai are also very good at clearing dungeons. But they have never been awarded creation props so intensively.

"The only one chosen by the gods is you.

"So Zhou Qian, you have to kill Xie Huai and end this game."

After listening to Shao Chuan's long narration, after a long silence, Zhou Qian smiled: "But why did I end this game? I like exciting adventures the most. I like this game. You should know about this."

"Really?" Shao Chuan asked him, "But I thought that Li Xuehai wanted you to go crazy, but actually healed you instead.

"Your previous illness is that you can't feel too much sadness and joy, or worry and fear. You have to force yourself to feel emotions through external stimuli. This is like a person who has no sense of taste and desperately wants to perceive food. The taste is the same. But you don’t need it anymore. You have released your emotions now, what you need is to reduce the stimulation, and slowly learn to control your emotions freely.”

"Zhou Qian, you call yourself a villain. But this game has been forcing you to be a hero. Didn't you just discover this? Haven't you thought about it, it actually has a deeper meaning? This is a hint from the gods to you.

"You swept back the S Army in Baicheng, you exposed the crimes of Sarah and Ryan, you prevented the world of the Red God from going to the end, and you also saved the collapse of Blue Harbor City...

"Now, you come to replace me, kill Xie Huai, and stop the game from continuing."

Zhou Qian looked at him thoughtfully and smiled: "But why should I promise you?"

"I can't easily judge the evil of the game itself, because I think its concept of good and evil cannot be seen from the perspective of human beings. But there is no doubt that this game will naturally stimulate the vicious and terrible side of human nature. Countless People are dying because of it, it really should stop.

"Also, if Xie Huai is really allowed to successfully take charge of the entire game, he will turn all players into his puppets in hell. How many lives are these? Can you really just watch them die and refuse to save them?

"Are you going to watch this game devour people all over the world and turn this world into a purgatory?"

Zhou Qian said: "I have always kidnapped others morally, and no one can kidnap me morally. Guess how convincing your words are?"

Shao Chuan smiled: "Since Xie Huai and his priests are targeting you so much, you will always be revenged, right?"

After a short pause, Shao Chuan said again: "By the way, you also asked me why the Taohong Army targeted you. I guess...they may have people like Guierxian who can tell fortunes, or they may be from the gods. Wishing there has acquired the ability to predict, and they think you will be their hindrance, so they always want to kill you. From this perspective, you must also kill them."

"Well, that's true, so of course I want to kill Xie Huai and the pastor, but that's just to avenge myself and get rid of future troubles. Don't give me a high hat for saving the world. I can't bear it .”

Zhou Qian thumped himself on the shoulder, "Is the talk over? After the talk, I'm going to find Brother Zhou. Why do you insist on talking to me behind his back?"

After asking this question, Zhou Qian smiled to himself again. "Could it be that he's usually unsmiling and doesn't get along well with you? That's true. He only talks nicely when he meets me."

Shao Chuan was amused by Zhou Qian again. "Zhou Qian, people like you... are too rare."

Zhou Qian said: "Well, I know too."

"Thank you."

"It's not necessary."

Shao Chuan: "When you return to reality, my lawyer will contact you. All my property in reality is in the hands of you and Bai Zhou. As for the game, copy number 0, the god-level players I own, I have I will also hand over all the items collected in the game to you."

"Hiss—" Zhou Qian said, "Then I'm afraid Xie Huai will really hate me."

Shao Chuan said, "My last request is that after I die, I will first turn myself into your bone spirit. I want to see with my own eyes the day I kill Xie Huai. Otherwise, I will die with regret."

Zhou Qian said: "You give me everything you have. This is not a gift, but a burden. The more you have, the more you have to bear. I will help you with many things. So I have conditions."

Shao Chuan: "What kind of conditions?"

Zhou Qian asked him: "Gao Shan and Wu Ren, can they come back? They have been inspired by the game to join the game, out of the order of the real world, and resurrecting them is not a random influence on cause and effect."

·

evening.Zhou Qian returned to reality, and had dinner with Bai Zhou in Room 7 of X District.

Looking at Bai Zhou, Zhou Qian said, "When will we go out on a date?"

Bai Zhou nodded: "Okay, where do you want to go?"

Zhou Qian said: "Stay far away. Otherwise, if your parents or relatives and friends see it, they will think you have hit a ghost."

Bai Zhou smiled, and quickly peeled a boiled shrimp.

In the past, when Bai Zhou peeled the shrimp, he would put them directly into Zhou Qian's bowl.This time he didn't, but directly held it to Zhou Qian's mouth with his hand.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the shrimp reached his mouth, Zhou Qian's conditioned reflex was to retch.

Bai Zhou immediately put down the shrimp and handed him a glass of water: "Zhou Qian? What's the matter?"

Zhou Qian looked up at Bai Zhou and smiled. "Maybe she's pregnant."

Hearing this, Bai Zhou's hand holding the water almost trembled.

Zhou Qian took a few sips of water from the water glass with a smile, then picked some hot vegetables from the pot and ate them.

Bai Zhou frowned and asked him, "What's going on?"

Zhou Qian glanced at Bai Zhou, and found that his eyebrows and eyes were extremely severe, and couldn't help but said: "You are really getting more and more fierce. You can't do this. It will affect your feelings."

Unmoved, Bai Zhou forced him to ask: "Our consciousness can communicate, but you have always kept that memory about Lixuehai hidden from me. What did he do to you to make you want to vomit when you smell shrimp? "

——Zhou Qian obviously liked shrimp so much before.

"He didn't do anything, he also peeled shrimps and crabs for me." Zhou Qian said, "I just hate him, and I hate food. Actually, I shouldn't."

Bai Zhou took off the disposable gloves, wiped them with paper, and held Zhou Qian's hand. "What's going on? The wound on your mouth...?"

"You insist on asking so clearly. I told you, didn't it make you feel bad?" Zhou Qian said, "Anyway, I will take revenge, and I will kill Li Xuehai with my own hands. Before he died, what he imposed on me, I also I will return it to him a thousand times and a hundred times. Don't worry, I will never let myself be wronged."

Bai Zhou squeezed his hand. "Then what do you want to eat?"

"This beef hot pot is pretty good. It's light." Zhou Qian helped Bai Zhou pick up a piece, "You can eat it too. After all this is done... let's go to the movies. Don't you know the current star actors? ? There are several new young actors who are very handsome."

At this point, Zhou Qian seriously added to Bai Zhou's inquisitive eyes: "But none of them are as handsome as you!"

·

In the semi-open copy on the 3rd.

The light in the basement is very dim, thanks to a peach blossom in a porcelain vase that brightens the tone of the whole room.

The peach blossoms were just sent in by Xie Huaying.

She felt that her master Xie Huai's face was too pale and his spirit was too weak.Maybe he needs something that looks a little alive.

Xie Huai stood still, wearing a thick robe, as quiet as a pile of snow.

However, his eyes revealed a sharpness that was completely different from the color of the snow.

Xie Huaying saw him take out an old and gorgeous pen in his hand, and there was obvious mockery in his eyes.

"Master, what is this?" Xie Huaying asked.

"When I was 9 years old, Shao Chuan gave me a birthday present. This was the first gift I received in my life. According to him, it was a foreign gadget bought by someone from England. My pen writing is He taught stroke by stroke."

Xie Huai said, "Look, how kind he pretended to be back then? But I should have known that people like him are the most heartless."

"In the early years, he ignored his wife's death from illness, and even abandoned his own son at will... I naively thought that it was because he married a wife and had children to fulfill the tasks assigned by his parents, and he didn't love them at all. I I also wishful thinking that only I am special to him. It's ridiculous, I would think that an old man who has been cruel for 80 years will change his sex after meeting me——

"But you see, seven years ago, he stabbed the sword into my heart with his own hands."

"You obviously just don't want him to die." Xie Huaying said, "If he wants to close this game, he needs to pay his own life. Not only that, he also wants your life. He saved you, but he wants to kill you. How can there be such a reason?"

"He regrets starting the game, and he can't see the players dying here. But this is obviously the player's own choice. If you want to have high returns, you have to take high risks. This is the eternal truth. Why does he feel compassion?

"But even so, I am willing to fulfill him. I have sworn to him that I will definitely find a way to get the best of both worlds. I will go to the end with him in this game. We can even go to the end together after we become gods." The end of the world. But he doesn't believe me.

"He felt that my choices were all greedy for what the game gave. He felt that I was greedy for divine power and power. Obviously I have been with him all the time, why doesn't he believe me?"

Xie Huaying sighed slightly. "Master, it's all over."

"Well. These years, you and the pastor have worked hard."

Xie Huai looked up at her.Xie Huaying finally saw his face.

No matter how many times you see him, his face will always be amazing.His eyes are like the stones at the bottom of an ancient well that have been washed and polished by water for thousands of years. They are beautiful, brilliant, and bright, but they can never be seen through.

In front of Xie Huaying, Xie Huai never tried to hide anything.

When he gripped it hard, the pen in his hand turned into powder and fell from the palm of his hand to the ground.

"Master..." Xie Huaying frowned.

"Shao Chuan is worthy of being my master. He also taught me one thing. To be a human being, you can't be too nostalgic." Xie Huai flicked his sleeves and walked towards the door, "Let's go to see the pastor together. I want to know, Langang City How did you lose it!"
