Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

It took less than a minute for Zhou Qian to change his clothes.

After the two left Gate 1107, although they already knew that there was a high probability that there was no one there, they forcefully opened the doors of all the rooms on the 11th floor and checked the situation inside before leaving this floor.

After entering the elevator, they pressed the number "12".

When the elevator door opened and went out, as expected, all the house numbers still showed numbers starting with 11.

They came to a new time and space in the geographic location of the 11th floor.

As usual, they saw the two murder scenes of Xiong Fei and Li Yuan first.This time the room where the accident happened was changed to Room 1111, and the deceased was still a couple.The murderer's killing method is similar to the previous few times, but there is no new trick at all.

After killing the couple with ease, Xiong Fei and Li Yuan left.

Next, according to the rules, it was time to play the animation of the second story—that is, the story about the handsome man and the woman in the red dress.

But this time Zhou Qian and Bai Zhou did not wait for it.

Neither the woman nor the man came out from 1103 or 1104.

Zhou Qian was not in a hurry, and continued to wait in the corridor with Bai Zhou for about 5 minutes, when something strange happened - suddenly there was a smell of burning things in the corridor.After careful identification, you will find that it came from Room 1103.

Zhou Qian leaned his legs on the corridor, unconsciously raised his feet on the floor, and stepped on them again.

After repeated several times, he looked at Bai Zhou who was standing opposite, raised his chin towards 1103, and finally spoke to him on his own initiative: "Brother Zhou, I'll leave it to you."

Hearing this, Bai Zhou looked at Zhou Qian a few more times, as if to confirm his current mood.

Soon he nodded, without asking any other questions, he just walked to Zhou Qian's side silently.Turning sideways, Bai Zhou turned his leg and kicked hard, and it really broke the door lock.

"It might not be safe inside. Do you want to go in now?" Bai Zhou glanced at the situation inside the room, turned his head and asked Zhou Qian.

"Is it safe or not? You won't know until you go in." Zhou Qian walked up to him and asked pointedly, "Huh? You didn't kick the door open this time and take me directly to the bed?"

"Zhou Qian..." Bai Zhou frowned slightly, raised his hand and reached out to Zhou Qian.

Zhou Qian didn't let him hold his wrist, turned sideways in time, and entered the room first.

Frowning tightly, Bai Zhou stepped forward to follow, but Zhou Qian stopped him immediately.

"Don't go in yet, I'll check the situation. Don't fall down together." Zhou Qian said.

Bai Zhou shook his head: "I know what you want to try. You go out and replace me."

"No need." Zhou Qian glanced at him, raised his hand and pushed Bai Zhou to the corridor, and then closed the door.

The situation in the house was exactly as Zhou Qian expected.

In the room full of pentagrams, the doors and windows were all closed. A man and a woman were lying side by side on the bed. Next to the bed was a pot of burning charcoal.

—The two of them were committing suicide by burning charcoal.

Zhou Qian didn't let Bai Zhou come in with him, because he was worried that both of them would fall here due to carbon monoxide poisoning.He wasn't sure if all the scenes where the man and the woman appeared were pure animation.

So he had to try it out for himself.

After shutting Bai Zhou out of the door alone, Zhou Qian walked slowly to the man and woman.

They opened their eyes and both looked at Zhou Qian.

At this time Zhou Qian asked them a word: "Did you kill those people?"

The man was the first to answer: "Yes"

Zhou Qian asked: "I guess you won't feel guilty. But are you really not afraid of death?"

This time it was the woman who answered.Her voice was weak when she spoke, but she still replied with a smile: "Of course not! Others are afraid of death because they will have nothing when they go to hell. We are different!

"Those who die at our hands will be our slaves! They will serve us in hell! Death will bring us real prosperity!"

The man immediately added: "I am filled with endless joy now. I am about to meet Lord Satan! This world is full of sins, betrayals, and useless desires. Only Satan can give me... I think The kind of joy and security you want!"

"Since death can make you happy. Then don't die at all." Zhou Qian smiled, picked up an unfinished bottle of mineral water on the table next to him, and poured it into the charcoal stove.

"What are you going to do?"

"Stop! Stop your useless and stupid behavior!"

"Actually, I think that what I did is probably useless. But it's worth it to see you all so angry, hideous and unstable before you die."

Zhou Qian narrowed his eyes and said, "Unfortunately, this is much lighter than what you did to other victims.

"I guess you're never going to get what you want, though.

"You're just brainwashed by a cult. There's never been Satan in hell."

The man and woman could no longer speak.

Because they have gradually lost consciousness.

Zhou Qian poured out the whole bottle of mineral water, but the charcoal fire was not affected at all, the smoke billowed up, mixed with incompletely burned harmful gas, continued to fill the entire room.

After about 3 minutes, the man and woman were dead.

Zhou Qian was unscathed, and didn't even feel any discomfort.

He could see the man and woman, smell the burning charcoal, and seemed to be in the same space as them.

But it turns out that's not the case.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and it was Bai Zhou who walked in.

His steps were rare and hurried. After entering the room, he didn't let Zhou Qian hide this time, he stepped forward and grabbed his wrist without any doubt, and dragged him all the way to the door. "Is there any discomfort?"

"No. Nothing."

Zhou Qian looked straight ahead, looking at a man and a woman holding hands on the big bed——

Their bodies were both becoming transparent, and then disappeared into this room.

At the same time, the charcoal fire and even the pentagrams all over the room disappeared.

The house was brand new, as if nothing had ever happened.

Zhou Qian thought of something, reached into the bag and looked for it.

A moment later he saw something—

[props: useless paper]

[Instructions for use: It has no effect; it is transformed from some kind of phantom, and its existence time is very limited. If it is not put into the luggage, it will have disappeared]

[Remarks: Keeping it in the luggage will only take up space and is of no practical use. It is recommended that players take it out as soon as possible; take it out of the luggage, and it will disappear immediately]

Seeing this line of writing, Zhou Qian still took out that thing.

That was the errand fee that the man gave him when he first met the man who lived in 1103.

Sure enough, as the system said, the money disappeared shortly after leaving the bag, just like the man and woman who suddenly disappeared and the marks they left all over the room.

"So, it wasn't that something went wrong after we went to the lobby to buy things and returned to the 11th floor. The alien space was born very early. When the two of us first met the man and woman, they were already 'virtual images' ', and not really anymore.

"They can see us and talk to us, but in fact, at that time, the two of them were completely unable to interact with us. They have long since died in 'history' and do not exist in this time and space."

At this point, Zhou Qian suddenly smiled.

He turned around to look at Bai Zhou, took out another object and lifted it up.

——That was the set they bought from the front desk in the lobby downstairs.

"So after buying this thing, I can't give it to them at all."

Zhou Qian walked towards the trash can while talking, and threw it away. "Unfortunately, it's useless."

After throwing things away, Zhou Qian stared at the trash can for a moment.Sure enough, there was no response.

Some messy thoughts flashed through his mind—how does the system cultivate god-level players?Those who don't know think that Bai Zhou has been practicing some kind of ruthless way these years.

So does he mean that to me?

Obviously kidnapping people and biting ears... What is he doing?

Exhaling secretly, and yawning again, Zhou Qian turned his head and found Bai Zhou leaning against the door, as if he was thinking about something.

After noticing Zhou Qian's gaze moved over, Bai Zhou looked at him and said, "Actually, what we saw is also like a revolving lantern."

There is a rumor that before death, people will go through important memories of their lifetime in their minds, similar to flashbacks of past fragments in the mind at the end of life.

So is it possible that the virtual images or animations that the players saw were actually flashback memories of the two murderers before committing suicide?

Zhou Qian also turned serious, walked out of the room first, and walked to the other side of the corridor.

"Remind me. Let's go to Room 1111 again."

Room 1111 was exactly another murder they had witnessed when they first came to this floor.

The traces of the "charcoal-burning suicide case" in room 1103 will disappear, so what about the murder cases in other rooms?

Also, are there any other clues there that have been missed?

Leaving Room 1103, Zhou Qian and Bai Zhou quickly walked towards Room 1111.

As soon as they approached the room, they could smell a strong smell of blood.

It seems that the murder here has not "disappeared".

And that's exactly what happened——

Everything in the house was as it was, the two corpses were tied up, nylon bags were put on their heads, and the sign of the inverted pentagram was everywhere in the house.

The related story of a man and a woman is indeed some kind of phantom, an existence similar to animation.

This story may come from revolving memories, or it may be the phantom of history projected through time and space to the present.

In any case, they don't really exist on this plane, nor do they have any real impact on the player.

But now it can be basically confirmed that the cases committed by Xiong Fei and Li Yuan are not necessarily the same.

Suppressing disgust and looking at the blood in the room, Zhou Qian said: "The behavior of Xiong and Li is indeed closely related to a man and a woman. Their behavior is completely a replica of the cheating killer group.

"The fake He Xiaowei said before that the existence of Xiong and Li was caused by the ghosts of the man and woman who died and possessed their corpses.

"But this statement is completely untenable. He said that at the time just to clear himself of the suspicion and make me think he is the real He Xiaowei."

"Therefore, the question I raised earlier remains unresolved—

"Why do Xiong and Li appear like 'resurrected from the dead'?

"It can now be confirmed that, unlike the situation of the man and the woman, these dead people have not disappeared, they are not phantoms, and they are not animations that will disappear when the playback ends. Then, where did these dead people come from? False He Xiaowei, Fake you, where did you come from?"

At this point, Zhou Qian heard the sound of a sharp blade unsheathing, turned his head and saw Bai Zhou holding the extremely sharp Tang Dao in his hand.

Tang Dao is long and straight, much narrower than ordinary swords, and thicker and stronger than double-edged swords.

At the same time, its handle is very long, and it can be held with both hands to attack flexibly.But the use of it cannot be practiced in three or two days.

The light entering the room from the corridor seemed very dim, casting two long and narrow shadows on Bai Zhou and the Tang knife in his hand.

Looking away from the shadow on the ground, Zhou Qian raised his eyes to look at Bai Zhou, and he could see him holding up the Tang knife.His pair of bright black eyes were just reflected on the narrow snow-white knife.

After a while, Zhou Qian heard him say: "For a long time, I didn't do anything, and I was practicing swords all the time. During that time, all the dungeons I went to were related to swordsmanship. To have the current Ability, it took me several years to achieve."

Zhou Qian knew what he meant by saying this, and said, "Well. I was curious before. How could that fake have been with you for so long?"

Bai Zhou said again: "This knife is called [Breaking Dawn], and it was given by the system when I became a god. I killed the strongest boss in the dungeon at that time. The system has emphasized that it is unique in the entire game."

Zhou Qian thought of something, and asked Bai Zhou: "When I attacked you, you didn't even touch my weapon. What? Are you worried that my weapon will be damaged? Your 'Dawn' is so sharp that it can even touch the bones of a god. Easily chopped into pieces?"

"Yes, it is indestructible."

Bai Zhou said, "So, according to common sense, there should never be an identical knife here.

"It can be seen that this copy has copied me and the knife in some way."

After the word "copy" came out of Bai Zhou's mouth, Zhou Qian rearranged everything in his mind based on the word.

The 11th floor of the Saiyan Hotel seems to be a very ominous floor, and many people were killed here.

The murderer is a combination of a man and a woman.Their relationship began with an affair, and finally died of charcoal suicide together.

Years later, eleven poor tourists lived on the 11th floor of this hotel.

There is also a killer hidden in this hotel, probably the staff here.

He killed Xiong Fei and Li Yuan, two tourists.

After that, a different dimension appeared.

The birth of a phantom of a man and a woman heralds the beginning of a different dimension.

At this time, the whole hotel became strange.

On the 11th floor, it seems that many different time and space are superimposed at once.

At this time, two killers appeared.

Their appearances were copied from Xiong Fei and Li Yuan, and their actions were copied from the cheating killer combination.

At the same time, the other nine tourists were copied, so another Bai Zhou and He Xiaowei would appear.

In the end, the victims who were killed by the affair killer group and should have died at different times were also copied, and all of them appeared in this hotel, repeating the tragedy of that year.

"So... the countless 11th floors, are they also some kind of 'replication' or 're-enactment'?"

After Zhou Qian said this, he noticed something with his eyes, walked into the room, and went to the bedside table.

They didn't find any other clues about the deceased before, they could only speculate that they all had "derailment traits", so that Zhou Qian didn't check carefully when he entered this room for the first time this time.

It wasn't until the second time he walked into this room that he realized that he had missed one thing.

——It was a signed photo with two words written on it: "Luo Yu."

Behind the signed photo, there are words written in another font——

"I finally saw you in Blue Harbor City! You are my idol!"
