Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

One month later, on the 8th floor of Area X, in Ward 6.

Zhou Qian had a dream, and it turned out to be Yi Bo.

Unlike the official dungeon that Zhou Qian entered for the first time, this time he is the only one here.

The canopy of the tree is like a cover, the sky is covered by greenery, Yi Bo is in front of a lake, and he still looks like he is tied to the tree by countless branches.

He is obviously a powerful god, but he is deliberately showing weakness and attracting people to hurt him.

Zhou Qian was the only one who walked up the bridge alone to meet Yibo this time.

Yi Bo opened his eyes quietly, without speaking.

Zhou Qian heard a sentence he once said: "The light of the fireflies, how can you dream of standing side by side with the sun and the moon?"

The gods do not allow mere human beings to possess divine power.Those who wish to become gods will be punished by the gods.

Is this some kind of warning?

What will happen to Bai Zhou after becoming a god?

In the dream, Zhou Qian walked across the long crystal bridge and walked up to God Yibo, and saw him open those clear water-like eyes.

Those eyes were extremely deep, implying a warning, but also seemed to hide some kind of temptation and expectation.

Zhou Qian couldn't read, and when he wanted to ask something, he suddenly woke up.

Sitting up from the bed all at once, Zhou Qian immediately opened the system panel after thinking of something.

After clearing the collapsed Blueport City, the system panel now has the icon "God Searching Journey", and it is highlighted, obviously reminding the player to click it as soon as possible.

After coming out of the collapsed Linekong City, Zhou Qian hasn't entered the system to read it carefully. Until now, he has been staring at these four words for a long time.

Zhou Qian clicked on this icon, and immediately a line of prompts popped up——

[Click the "Confirm" button to officially start the "Journey of God Search".After starting this journey, you will find real gods in the game one after another, and even have the opportunity to go to the world of gods]

At this moment Zhou Qian couldn't help thinking of Shao Chuan.

Although on the surface, Shao Chuan picked up a game box by accident, it was pure accident that he was able to start the game.

But the game happened to be opened to him, and it allowed him to realize so many wishes, probably it was indeed the will of some kind of god——

The gods chose Shao Chuan, opened a game for him that only belonged to him, and soon met him in the game, and fulfilled his wishes one by one.

That was the favor bestowed upon Shao Chuan by the gods.It belongs to Shao Chuan's privilege.

But Shao Chuan didn't want this privilege. He didn't want to occupy the goodwill of the gods alone, but wanted to bestow the blessings of the gods to all living beings.

It took a hundred years in reality before Shao Chuan was able to open the game to others.

If this is the time in the game... It is hard to imagine how much effort he has spent to achieve his goal.

But the direction of the matter completely deviated from Shao Chuan's original intention.

The gods are not that generous.

Others are not as easy to see the gods as Shao Chuan.As the number of players increases, the difficulty of the dungeon becomes higher and higher, and the chances of players seeing the gods become increasingly slim.Fulfilling wishes, or acquiring superpowers, is becoming harder and harder for everyone.

Because of this, Shao Chuan wanted to close the game, but it turned out to be an extremely extravagant thing. Not only would it take him a longer time, but he would also have to pay his own life.

Today, although according to Shao Chuan, Zhou Qian collects props related to the creation myth very quickly, but he also completed many dangerous and dangerous hidden missions before he came to this step and had the "God Search Journey" function.

Zhou Qian didn't think for too long, reached out and clicked [OK].

All the menus and colors on the system panel disappeared, leaving only a pitch black screen.

After a while, a cloud of fog appeared.

The shadow of some kind of creature can be vaguely seen in the fog, but it is difficult to see clearly.

This is the first time Zhou Qian heard people in the system speak in the real world.

Although relying on the intermediary of the system panel, this is quite a strange experience, as if he is directly talking to the gods.

"Zhou Qian, welcome to the journey of searching for gods. The system has carefully selected the next suggested dungeon "Promised Land" for you. In a sense, this is a dungeon specially opened by the system for you. You can bring the teammates you need Let's go together."

Zhou Qian asked directly: "Are you the god in this system? When the gods left this land, they only left you here? In other words, are you a particularly powerful AI left by aliens?"

A voice continued to come from the fog: "Where I came from, who I am. It doesn't matter. You just need to know that I stay here because the gods want to help humans. They are still teaching technology for humans." , civilization, and philosophy. Although the gods are far away from this land, they have never really cut off their connection with this land. If necessary, people with predestined relationship can go to the world of the gods."

"You're right, no matter if you're an AI or something, you can think, you even have your own personality, you have the style of making games... I should treat you as a living thing."

Zhou Qian asked him, "You just said that those who are destined can go to the world of gods. Is it true that, as the rumors say, after collecting all the seven props, you can get the path to your place?"

"Zhou Qian, in fact, you and I are really destined. I know you have a lot of questions. If you successfully clear "The Promised Land", you will see me. At that time, I will know everything and say everything."

The white mist disappeared.

The system panel also returned to normal.

Zhou Qian clicked on "God Search Journey" again, and the gods hiding behind the mist disappeared, and only a list popped up on the system panel, waiting for Zhou Qian to fill in the time he wanted to open the dungeon.

Zhou Qian ignored it for the time being, and was about to get up to go to Bai Zhou, when he received another system message, which was an invitation ticket from Shao Chuan——

He invited Zhou Qian to copy number 0 again.

Zhou Qian frowned when he heard a knock on the door.

The person who came was naturally Bai Zhou.

When Zhou Qian went to open the door to welcome him into the room, he heard him say, "Go together?"

"Yeah." Zhou Qian nodded, "Let's go together."

At this moment, Zhou Qian's mood is also a little strange.

It was because he was actually going to witness Shao Chuan's death.

The battle with Xie Huai seven years ago almost cost Shao Chuan his life.He has almost no strength to maintain the operation of the experiment in reality, nor does he have any force value for fighting in the game.

He refused to die and lingered until now, just trying his best to wait for a suitable successor to appear.

Now that he has waited until Zhou Qian, the moment has come when he can completely surrender his life.

This is the first step he has taken to completely close the game.

In the game, the transfer of props and gold coins is very simple. The reason why it was delayed for a month is because Shao Chuan's influence in the real world is too complicated and too large.Zhou Qian needs to meet with his legal team, management team, scientific research team and other personnel one by one to handle various handover matters.It took a month to complete all the matters, which can be regarded as Zhou Qian's efficient completion.

After dealing with all the affairs, Shao Chuan is finally about to usher in his long-awaited death.

Before this moment came, Shao Chuan was also dreaming.

He dreamed back to when he was young.

Although he is only 15 years old, Shao Chuan already has his own ideas. He aspires to study and make great contributions to the country, but he is not interested in family or love.

But being born in such a family, his parents were simply irresistible, so he had to marry a wife.

In the dream, after paying homage to the guests, Shao Chuan is about to usher in the moment of festivities in the bridal chamber.

Slightly drunk after drinking, he walked into the house and came to the bride with a red hijab.The voices of the old mothers and maids around him were always separated by a layer of fog, so he couldn't hear clearly at all.

Looking at the bride with the phoenix crown and Xiapei in front of him, Shao Chuan's heart sank, and he suddenly felt a great panic.

There is a voice telling him - can't take off the hijab!Never!

Shao Chuan's subconscious told him to escape, but his body seemed to be manipulated, and he still walked up to his wife in red.

On the side, the maid handed Yu Ruyi and told him to use Yu Ruyi to lift the hijab.

Shao Chuan looked at the servant girl, only to see that her face was so complete that she didn't even have any facial features.

Shao Chuan immediately took a step back, unwilling to accept this Ruyi at all.

But he could only take one step back.

The next moment he was pushed forward by a force he knew where it came from, and he took Yu Ruyi with his right hand uncontrollably, and then lifted the hijab.

Once the phoenix crown is picked off, there are no girls as beautiful as flowers and jade below, and some are actually snake heads.

"hiss!!!"--

It was a snake spitting out a letter, and opened its mouth to attack Shao Chuan.

The red in the room suddenly faded, all the maids and mothers disappeared, and the sound of guests changing glasses and pushing cups went away. Shao Chuan found himself in a cold and dark cave.

And the bride in red turned into a huge red snake!

Inside the cave, something cold and sticky wrapped around his body, it was the red snake!

The memories of the past and the future suddenly overlapped, and Shao Chuan found that his hands and feet had become longer.In the dream, he actually returned to his adult appearance.

Staring at the red snake close at hand, he pressed his lips tightly, and Shao Chuan's words almost came out from between his teeth. "Xie Huai?"

"Hiss—hiss—!"

The huge red snake kept spitting out the letter beside Shao Chuan's ear and in front of his neck, and the highly poisonous venom had condensed between his lips and teeth.The slippery tongue lightly brushed against Xie Huai's neck, as if it would bite off a piece of flesh from his neck at any moment.

Then Shao Chuan heard his voice, which was more sinister than a poisonous snake.

"I'm also curious, how could your dream be like this?

"My dear master, Master, when I was very young, I once mentioned to you that I want to follow your surname, do you still remember?"

Shao Chuan naturally remembered this.

Xie Huai brought up this matter at the time, probably because he wanted to be Shao Chuan's adoptive son, so that he could die in retirement by changing his name in a legitimate way.

But Shao Chuan didn't want to be fettered with anyone in the world anymore, so he rejected Xie Huai.

After that, Xie Huai did what he should do every day, but he talked a lot less.Seven days later, Shao Chuan saw something and talked to Xie Huai for a long time.

Xie Huai was depressed and sad, because of course he thought that Shao Chuan didn't like him, didn't want him to be his relative, and even felt that he wasn't worthy to be his adopted son.

Shao Chuan's answer to him was that a name is just a title, and it doesn't actually have much meaning. People living in this world will often fall into confusion and don't know where to go.Then maybe the meaning of the surname just tells us where we come from.

"I still don't know why your parents abandoned you. But in this troubled world...it's easy for no one to live. They must have their own difficulties. The fate that you can live together may be gone. Leave a surname, Just to let you remember where you came from, this is the only connection between you and them."

Facing Shao Chuan's words, Xie Huai said: "Actually, I don't care if I have fate with them. Master, since they have abandoned me, I cut off contact with them. I don't care where I come from. I only care about my my way home. I know my way home too—I will always be by your side.”

"Silly boy." Shao Chuan patted his head, "It's too difficult for a person to stay with another person forever in his whole life."

"What's so difficult about this?" Xie Huai stepped forward and grabbed Shao Chuan's wrist, "But... the master says whatever he wants. Now that you don't want me to change my surname because you dislike me, I can rest assured. "

At this moment, in a dream.

Shao Chuan raised his eyes to look at Xie Huai, with endless exhaustion in his eyes: "That matter... have you held grudges till now?"

"It's not about bearing grudges. It's just that you suddenly feel that you never put me in your eyes, right?"

While spitting out snake letters, Red Snake said: "You picked me up, raised me up, and showed me a way to become young and live forever when I was old. Then...then you want me Go to hell. Dear Master, how can there be such a reason in this world?"

"Don't call me Master."

No matter how the Red Snake moved, Shao Chuan didn't struggle, he just sat cross-legged in the cave like an old monk in meditation, he said, "I did have a master-student relationship and a master-servant relationship with Xie Huai, but that is Before he went against my instructions and accepted the transformation of God, you are completely different now, and you are no longer the Xie Huai I know."

Xie Huai seemed to have heard some joke, and the most sinister words came out of his mouth: "No, Master. Of course I am still me. The problem with you is that you always think that you are right. We have come to this day The situation is because you never believed me. But...

"It doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong now, right?"

"My dear master, without this game, there would not be such a deep hatred between us. But if there is no such game, we might not be able to meet at all. After all, in that era, you probably won't live to be 80 years old ah.

"So... I still have to thank this game. Your son and wife, all your closest relatives, failed to enter this game with you. Only I waited until that day, right?"

"I know what you want to do. You want to die. But you won't do it. Don't you wonder why I can enter your dream here?

"So, you don't want to get rid of me. Even if you really die, I will go to the underworld to drag your soul back. Not to mention...you just want to be that Zhou Qian's bone spirit now.

"I will bring you back to life. This time, I am the master, and you are the servant under my control. I want you to watch with your own eyes, how I can realize the long-cherished wish that I failed to realize seven years ago."

Zhou Qian and Bai Zhou had just entered the No. 0 instance, and met the Blood Demon and Gui Erxian who were waiting here.

After the two groups of people joined together, they walked towards the lake together, and soon found something strange——Shao ​​Chuan fell by the lake, soaked in sweat, and his face lost all blood, almost turning blue.

One of Zhou Qian's skills was related to creating illusions. He immediately saw that Shao Chuan seemed to be haunted by a nightmare, so he summoned God's Rib to use the illusion skill.

However, Shao Chuan coughed a few times and woke up.

Gorefiend and Guierxian hurried forward to help him sit by the lake, both of them looked a little heavy.

Obviously, even if they had already made preparations, it was still difficult for them to accept that today was the day Shao Chuan left.

"Master, master... you are now..." Gui'er Xian couldn't finish her words, she already shed tears.

The Gorefiends, who usually love to bicker and joke with each other, opened their mouths, but didn't say a word.

Shao Chuan sat down, and slowly calmed down his palpitations, his face was still calm, not the slightest bit sad or happy.

He looked at Guierxian, Blood Demon, Bai Zhou, and Zhou Qian one by one with gentle eyes, and said, "It's time, hang your life with props, and barely condense your vitality until now, I can't hold it anymore.

"You're all good boys and I know you're going to do well."

Finally, Shao Chuan set his sights on the bone in Zhou Qian's hand. "Zhou Qian, do it."

"Wait—" Bai Zhou interrupted him, "What happened to your dream just now? I sensed Xie Huai's aura. If you become Zhou Qian's bone spirit, will Xie Huai continue to influence you, even Zhou Qian? "

"This effect is mutual." Shao Chuan looked at Zhou Qian, "When your God's Rib is developing skills, the system suggests that you choose the control type, which is intentional. The gods really gave you the power to control dreams. So , if Xie Huai wants to use the dream to defeat you, you can just use the dream to kill him."

"Zhou Qian, Bai Zhou, Guierxian, and Blood Demon have all been with me for a long time. I'm afraid they won't be able to give me the last step. So I'll leave this matter to you.

"Even if I'm dead, the bone spirit is very powerful. If you want, I can add a lot of combat power to you, which happens to be what you currently lack.

"But if you care about it, just kill me instead of absorbing my bone spirit."

·

At the same moment, copy No. 3.

Xie Huai sat on the ice bed, when he was not happy or angry, his eyebrows and eyes looked a little demure.

It's just that when he turned the adult puppet in front of him, there was a frightening, vicious look like a poisonous snake in his eyes.

Gently stroking the puppet's bare back with his fingers, Xie Huai picked up a needle and dipped it in something like venom.

Then he made the last strokes of the writing on the puppet's back.

It was a name - "Xie Chuan."
