Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

Myths and legends related to the flood widely exist in the stories and legends handed down from various civilizations.

In the oriental mythology, Nuwa mends the sky, and there are also stories related to Xiangliu with the body of a hydra.Xiangliu "Wherever he goes, he will become a country", and he helps the water god Gonggong to launch a flood to harm the people.In the end, Dayu, who was good at water control, built a high platform in the north of Kunlun to suppress it.

As for the western region, there are many related myths. In many stories, before the flood came, a certain person received instructions from the gods to build a boat in advance, and then escaped the disaster.For example, Zu Sudra in Sumerian mythology, or Manu in Indian legend.

The "Bible" also records stories related to the flood, of which Noah's Ark is probably the most well-known.

In fact, the story background of this dungeon is very similar to the story of Noah's Ark——

After the creation of the world was completed, God was very angry when he saw human beings killing each other, and decided to destroy all human beings and other creatures in the world.

He thought that there was a person named Noah who was different from other human beings and was a perfect righteous person, so he decided to let Noah live.

Before the catastrophe came, God asked Noah to build a ship according to his instructions, and let his family enter.

In addition, God also let Gaia have one male and one female of all kinds of birds and beasts.

In this way, after the catastrophe, all things can continue to reproduce.

There are different theories as to where Noah's Ark ended up.But according to all stories, it eventually ran aground on a mountain.

Coincidentally, there is also a mountain here in the Promised Land.

Coincidentally, the ark that Gao Shan saw happened to be docked at the top of the mountain.

In this way, the background of the story of all beings guilty and the gods sending floods to extinguish the water is similar. The people of the Jin tribe who "have never committed any crimes and are devout to the gods" can also correspond to the righteous Noah. Now the ark has also appeared on the mountain...

Based on these factors, we can of course start to associate, the ark in the background of the dungeon is called Noah's Ark.

However, this will lead to other problems——

First, in the ending of the story of Noah's Ark, after Noah came out of the ark, God decided that no matter how evil humans would become, he would never bring similar disasters again.

But judging from the "ghosts" killing people in the Promised Land, and from the Jin clan's warning words to "foreign visitors", the gods are still observing human beings and will punish them when necessary.

Second, so far, players have been told that the Promised Land is directly blessed by the gods.

Tragedies such as the collapse of the sky, the backflow of sea water, and the continuous rainstorm day and night only occurred in areas other than the Promised Land.This land is blessed, never without disaster.

In this case, the Jin clan living in the Promised Land did not need an ark to save them.

In fact, whether it is from the story background prompts that the player received from the system at the beginning, or from the information received from the Jin family, there is no information related to Ark at all.

Then, from these perspectives, this story seems to be completely different from Noah's Ark.

But Gao Shan clearly saw another ark.

What's going on here?

Zhou Qian speculates that there are three reasons behind this——

The first possibility is that the "Ark" that Gao Shan saw was just a simple building, similar to a sculpture or a work of art. It is even possible that the Jin people just built museums, government places and other places into the shape of an ark.But that's not a functional ark, it doesn't protect everyone.

The second possibility is that the ark can indeed play a practical role. When the flood comes, it can carry many people to escape.It's just that the ark in the Promised Land has not been used yet.It was just made by the Jin people to prevent problems before they happen.

Perhaps the people of the Jin clan are not sure whether they will offend the gods one day because of something.Taking advantage of the advanced technology, they built such an ark with powerful functions as soon as possible, just to seek a chance to save themselves when the crisis came.

As for the third possibility...

That is, this ark has already been used, and it is indeed the veritable Noah's Ark.It is because of its protection that the Jin clan can survive.

In this case, the existence of the Ark can only represent one thing——

Regarding the truth about the Promised Land, the people of the Jin clan have lied from beginning to end.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Qian had already caught something, and then asked Gao Shan: "What about the road? Did you see anything else?"

These players were all arranged in the eggshell apartment.The conclusion that can be easily drawn is that whether the players or NPCs in this apartment arrived earlier or later, they all belong to newcomers who have not passed the initial stage of the exam.

Only through preliminary brainwashing and passing the exam can they truly enter the Promised Land.

The number of players in this instance is unknown.

It can be reasonably speculated that some players have entered the game earlier, have passed the test, and are closer to the core of the game than their own team.They are no longer new here.

Zhou Qian's buildings here, except for the eggshell apartment, are all buildings used for various studies, and there are no other players or NPCs who have passed the exam to live here.

What Zhou Qian wants to know now is whether Gao Shan has seen other players and other similar apartments.

Gao Shan's answer is no.

At least in the halfway up the mountain where he could go, he couldn't see anyone else.

This also means that the places below the mountainside are only those people living in the eggshell apartment.

This is indeed a bit strange.This mountain is really too big, and dozens of eggshell apartments can be built around the mountain.Why is it all empty here?

Is it just because there are very few Jin people and outsiders?

Gao Shan said: "However, I also saw some other things. There are many places where foundations are being laid, like apartments are going to be built... But there is an obvious pattern between them.

"Like our side, the eggshell apartment, various training grounds, classrooms, including farms and vegetable fields for everyone to eat and drink, are all concentrated, like a small town. Over there too... the group owners are all piled up in piles of."

Zhou Qian understood what he meant. "So, there may be many other similar 'eggshell towns'."

"Yes." Gao Shan said, "They give me the feeling that they are doing some kind of experiment in this small town. Now the experiment is mature and can be promoted. So they started to replicate this model."

Zhou Qian nodded: "Well. I feel the same as you. It's just that I can be more specific about the experiment - after several experiments, they felt that the brainwashing routine was very successful, so they decided to expand the scale and introduce more outsiders."

"Besides that, I also found other abnormalities." Gao Shan said, "One thing, I think is very important. I saw Guina."

Zhou Qian was interested. "Tell me in detail."

Three kilometers to the east of Eggshell Apartment is the so-called cemetery.

Two kilometers east of the cemetery, there is a high platform.

Gao Shan saw with his own eyes that Guina and the others disappeared out of thin air after walking onto the high platform.

It was probably a teleportation device, similar to the round platform elevator in the eggshell apartment, allowing them to reach the core of the Promised Land directly from the foot of the mountain.

Gina is very beautiful, with long brown hair slightly curly.Her hair was thick and thick, flowing down her temples and covering her ears perfectly.

As a result, Zhou Qian failed to see her ears when he saw her twice.

But Takayama accidentally saw——

When walking on the round stage, Guina looked around habitually, then took out a rubber band, gathered up her hair, and tied it back into a ponytail.

It was at this time that Gao Shan saw that she had pierced ears.

"It's really interesting." Zhou Qian said, "You can't dress up or wear any decorations. It's obviously the people of the Jin clan who said it themselves. Now it seems that they only allow state officials to set fires, and they don't allow people to light lamps...

"Every word the Jin people say may be a lie."
