It's time, it's time to switch to the cranial doctor

Fred was operated by the housekeeper, and the two opened cards at the same time. Zhou Zhuo's cards were K and A, while Fred's cards were A, 8, 2.

Neither is lying, the same blackjack, but Zhou Zhuo is blackjack, so the player wins.

"Please pay the bet." The steward reminded.

"It's in my coat pocket." After saying this, Fred and Zhou Zhuo looked at each other and said with emotion, "You're really lucky, this can't kill you."

"My luck has never been bad. If you want to kill me, there are still many opportunities."

"I will take the next bet seriously."

"It's really exciting."

After the two exchanged a few words, Zhou Zhuo got the structure diagram of the cruise ship given by the steward, and took a look at it casually.

The reason why it is casual is not because it is not serious, but laymen with this kind of professional drawings can't understand what's going on at all. After scanning around, the only feeling is that they can't see any special problems, and there are no fancy things.

Taking a closer look, Zhou Zhuo found some interesting things. The whole ship, except the last engine room, is divided into three parts. These three structures are marked in the corners of the drawing, in order from bottom to top. Are: Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso.

The system didn’t translate the blueprints. I don’t know if it’s a bug or it’s a taboo. Fortunately, although Zhou Zhuo doesn’t like to read books, he still has basic literary literacy, and he can recognize the meanings of these three Latin words at a glance.

They are Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, from bottom to top, exactly the three parts of the Divine Comedy created by Alighieri Dante.

The place where Run Kuai Kuai is located should be Hell, where a large number of "ghosts" as the housekeeper called it gathered, and Zhou Zhuo's location should be Purgatory.

The word purgatory comes from the Latin verb purgare, which means to refine.

In the tradition of the Christian church, purgatory refers to the process of refining after death, which is to purify the sins of the person. It also fits the theme of this ship - cleansing house.

Although not enough evidence has been collected, Zhou Zhuo already knew what to do next. He glanced down at his watch with a gloomy expression.

"If you're waiting for someone, you're going to be disappointed," said Fred.

"Really?" Zhou Zhuo didn't raise his head, "Many people have said that, but it seems that their fate is not good. What do you think?"

"I choose not to watch it. No one will succeed forever, but at least I can reduce the trouble caused by failure to me, and start the next gamble."

The butler who received the order nodded and made the scene on the big screen move. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Zhou Zhuo suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted: "Abstain."

Not only the gamblers who didn't understand what happened, even Fred was dumbfounded.

Didn't you just say "I really look forward to the next game" and "The opponent's end is usually not good", and now you abstained before the scene even came out? !

Fred abstained in order to avoid the probability risks brought by the game of blackjack, but Zhou Zhuo's abstention was full of inexplicable meaning, which made people puzzled.

"Why, everyone has three chances, oh no, to be precise, there are only two chances, you used them all, wouldn't it be a pity that I don't use them?"

Zhou Zhuo snapped his fingers: "Not only this time, but also the next scene, I will also abstain, so please trouble the housekeeper to abolish the corresponding scene, thank you."

"Okay." The butler nodded.

The gamblers behind him still don't know what happened, but Fred has come to his senses, reversed and traced back from this tiny detail, and quickly understood the ins and outs of the whole process, marveling at Zhou Zhuo's ability to control the field, even Such a person couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"You... already prepared?"

"of course."

Zhou Zhuo didn't hide anymore, he put one leg on the gaming table, and clasped his fingers against the handrail, as if he didn't want to fight.

"I have been calculating from the very beginning, deliberately losing to you, interfering with and misleading your way of thinking, instilling my thoughts through arguments, and establishing a behavior pattern in your mind that I want you to see, then It’s much easier to come down.”

"Closing the gap between the two sides, emptying each other's bright chips, increasing the pressure on the game, and then using the number of abstentions from each person to eliminate high-risk scenarios, there are a total of eight scenarios, four of which set up the game, one is abstained by you, and two I was abstained, and the used scene has already produced results, which cannot be traced back, so the final tiebreaker can be decided."

"You don't need me to tell you the principle of ten bets and ten losses, right? No serious person will play probability with you. When you are still thinking about winning methods, my winning formula has been constructed. Now my winning rate is... 1000 %!"

Zhou Zhuo raised his middle finger to Fred with a bitter expression.

"Frankly speaking, I will be all in whatever you want to propose in this game. No matter how many chips, whether it is life or soul, I will bet. Do you dare to abstain? Dare to set up a probability game outside the scene, let me first Bets?"

Fred was silent for a long time, and he had to admit that the other party perfectly grasped every one of his psychological weaknesses. He seemed to be so high-spirited in the past, but in just a moment, all his years were gone.

Of course, Fred wasn't ready to admit defeat. The other party used such beautiful means to create a scene, so he had to add a perfect curtain call by himself.

"Then the proposition is to choose the arena and let the opponent enter the final round." Fred said.

The footage of the big screen switched back to the empty room, and the sound from the bug returned to normal.

"Who's the next opponent?" Pao Kuai asked on the other end.

Zhou Zhuo couldn't answer him because he didn't know it himself.

Soon, the gate of the arena was opened, and a huge mass of turbid flesh rolled into the room. Run Kuai was stunned on the spot, his eyes went dark, and he sat on the ground directly.

Not to mention the parties involved, even Zhou Zhuo, who just ridiculed him, was completely dumbfounded, what the hell, how many secrets are there on this ship, and the arena has already dispatched a small mountain of corpses in the third round?

"Since it's the last game, let's go back to the first proposition." Fred said, "You can bet on him surviving this attack."

"Of course I can." Zhou Zhuo smiled, "You already knew it in your heart, why bother?"

"Then I will stick to the previous choice, please start."

While the two sides were communicating at the gambling table, Pa Kuai Kuai was also trying to communicate with Zhou Zhuo. The scene in front of him not only brought the ultimate sense of horror, but also reminded him of the humiliation and pain he had suffered.

But fortunately, in the process of growing up, you always have to face those enemies who have defeated you. At this stage, he is probably not the opponent of the Great Demon King Zhou Zhuo, but at least with the help of the studio, he has the ability to independently kill the mountain of corpses. Ability.

"What is this round of gambling?" Pao Kuai gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, I've had enough, how long will it take to solve it, 5 seconds? Or 10 seconds? The hint is the same as before."

Zhou Zhuo over there didn't answer, but shook his head at the big screen, showing his integrity in front of everyone.

Seeing this scene, Ran Kuai Kuai couldn't help but be taken aback: "You don't mean to let me lose, right? Is this something that a human can say?"

Zhou Zhuo silently nodded...

Running quickly and silent for a long time, tears still fell down.

It turns out that no amount of equipment can change the established fact—how proud I can be, how vulnerable I am, okay?

"After you go out, remember to make it up to me!"

Run quickly and yell at the camera, and then rush to the mountain of corpses without hesitation.

Zhou Zhuo still nodded silently, expressionless, and even compared him with scissors hands to show encouragement.

-------------------------------------

The new month is here, have your monthly passes and blades been refreshed?In the last step, don't let the buddies reach for it by themselves, so much has been added.

Tomorrow, the Horror Cruise instance will be completed, and then the next instance will be announced.

Chapter 111 Hell, Purgatory, Heaven (End of Horror Cruise Ship Chapter)

After receiving Zhou Zhuo's order, he ran quickly and launched a suicide charge towards the mountain of corpses.

No matter how unwilling he is, he is still number one in the game after all. This is the quality that a professional player should have. The matter of eating is not shabby, but a little wronged...

After a few steps, the two sides collided. The small mountain of corpses in front of them was probably a fusion of seven or eight corpses. It was incomparable to the monsters of that level that day, but the sense of horror and nausea was still unavoidable.

If you need to deal with your opponent, then Run Kuaikuai will take out the high-efficiency corpse water specially purchased by the studio from the backpack to melt the skin and flesh. Although it has little effect on the bones, the disassembled corpse is much easier to deal with.

It is a pity that now he needs to deliberately create a situation of failure, that is, to be swallowed by the mountain of corpses and become a part of it.

The body collided with the soft and cold flesh wall, seven or eight arms hugged him passionately, a black seam split outward from the fused skin, and quickly swallowed a living person in, after a short resistance , There was no more movement, and then the face of running quickly protruded from a piece of intact skin, without any expression.

Seeing this unexpected result, Fred was speechless for a while.

"Are you surprised?" Zhou Zhuo did not forget to provoke his opponent, "I thought you understood after the speech just now, even my thinking can't keep up, no wonder you have been trapped in this ghost place all your life."

"You got complacent too early."

Fred, who was ridiculed by the jumping face, still had a calm expression and no fluctuations, but he did not have the joy of being the winner of the game, because it was something that was given to him by others and was not wanted.

"Ten bets and ten losses are not just the law of casinos. The same is true in life. If you take risks like this, even if you succeed a hundred times, so what? Just one failure is enough to make you fall to the bottom."

"So I'm all lucky. Do you think I'm you? The winner of the game is all outside the gambling table. Next time, don't be so stupid and be led away by someone."

"So I should thank you?"

"I deserve it."

The two ended the curtain call performance of the ghost gambling game in the cleansing institute with a cloudy dialogue, but the dungeon is probably not over yet.

"Since I have lost my life and soul, should I be sent to hell?" Zhou Zhuo turned to ask the butler beside the gaming table.

"According to the rules—" the butler nodded as expected, "yes, then I wish you good luck."

"Wish me luck."

Zhou Zhuo closed his eyes and felt his consciousness drift away as before, but this time his experience was very real, without the trance feeling when he died. He clearly noticed that the black cloth that had been covering his eyes disappeared.

When he opened his eyes again, both Zhou Zhuo and the gambler came to an empty room with a lot of blood on the ground, but the two corpses had disappeared, replaced by a huge pile of corpses, he found Zhou Zhuo and the gambler The existence of it, but did not approach, and stayed in the corner as if in a daze.

This thing frightened the gambler directly, he sat down on the ground and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

"It's actually not complicated. Before I explain, I want to make a deal with you." Zhou Zhuo squatted in front of him.

"What deal?" The gambler didn't understand what happened at all.

"A deal about personal freedom. In order to protect your personal safety, I need you to promise me one thing and become my employee."

"Become an employee..." The gambler recalled the feeling of being a colleague with the skull crushing doctor in the hospital, and couldn't help but get terrified, "What do you do?"

"You don't need to do anything. It's very easy to be my employee. On the contrary, I will provide you with shelter. Even if you die, I can use props to bring you back to life. Do you want to do it?"

Hearing such generous treatment, the gambler seemed a little apprehensive: "I always feel that I can't do anything, and I don't deserve these help..."

"Not qualified? No, no, no." Zhou Zhuo said with a smile, "Don't forget that you saved me when I lost the bet. Without you, there would be no present."

Zhou Zhuo did not deceive him. The employees in the employee handbook can be resurrected, but they need to pay the corresponding price. The two employees who disappeared from the roster were not erased because of death, but because they merged with the mountain of corpses. Afterwards, he was eaten clean by centipedes, so he could not be revived.

As for why he wanted to protect the gamblers, the reason was even simpler. He wanted to help Lin fulfill that impossible wish slowly. No matter what the relationship between the two parties was, since he could do what he could, he would naturally help if he could.

It is very difficult to find someone in a world by luck, and the best way is to keep the person with you and bring her with you.

"All right……"

Although he felt that the other party was completely nonsense, and the premise of saving people was that he killed people, the gambler was still persuaded by Zhou Zhuo. Can confess.

"Give me a drop of your blood."

Zhou Zhuo took a drop of blood from the gambler's finger and added it to the blank page of the employee handbook. After a while, all his personal information appeared in the handbook, which can be stored in the handbook at any time and packed away.

A big goal has been achieved, and then it is time to complete the small goals in the dungeon.

Zhou Zhuo picked up the hammer, jumped up violently, and smashed the small mountain of corpses into pieces in two or three hits, but it was too late for the opponent to notice the attack.

Zhou Zhuo, who received the boost of blood, was like a god of war. He became more and more courageous as he fought. With a sledgehammer, he dismantled the entire mountain of corpses into pieces. Unfortunately, Pao Kuai Kuai had been completely assimilated, and only his backpack was found inside.

The backpack setting of Scream Feast is also different from other online games. It can be opened by NPCs or even other players, but it is extremely tough and difficult to destroy under normal circumstances.

If important props are lost in the dungeon, it is really missing, so the thief profession has become the choice of many people, because it can steal teammates' props.

In this way, running fast will not lose too much, as long as he can pass the level, the player who fails can also get a small amount of rewards.

Zhou Zhuo found the gate of the arena, violently destroyed the lock, and left towards the passage. He had the structure diagram of the cruise ship on his body. Although he couldn't understand it, he at least knew where he could leave.

There are a lot of wandering ghosts on the road, but most of them don't have any strength, and they all become Zhou Zhuo's boosting buff continuation products. He just broke through the siege while explaining to the gamblers.

"Actually, this game is not complicated, it's just that the whole process is supported by a brain environment, which seems to be full of fog. Let me start with the cleansing house itself."

"Purgatory is a religious concept. Catholic doctrine believes that all people are sinful. Only after being baptized by the church and redeeming their sins can they enter heaven, which is equivalent to the ancient meaning of 'purgatory'."

"The purgatory meter described in Dante's "Divine Comedy" has 9 floors. The souls that have committed sins during their lifetime but can be forgiven, according to the seven major sins of human beings, are there to confess their sins and cleanse their souls. I still remember the scene provided by the cruise ship. Of the ten passengers who got off the bus with me, two died, and there were eight remaining. Except for the Hell Arena at the bottom, all the cases corresponded to a sin in Catholic doctrine."

"The first boy with bulimia nervosa corresponds to gluttony, the second group president who despises his peers corresponds to arrogance, the third young boy who kills his parents corresponds to rage, and the fourth unrepentant The gambler corresponds to greed... so it is conceivable that the rest is lust, sloth and jealousy."

"We entered a cruise ship called Purgatory and worked hard for indulgences. In the gambling game, we judged other people's sins from a condescending perspective. Do you think of anything from this?"

The gambler shook his head blankly: "I didn't think of anything."

"It's okay, I didn't tell you."

Zhou Zhuo smiled slightly, and did not stop his performance because of this.

"Everyone is a mirror, reflecting the sins of others, and also examining oneself. The existence of cleansing sins is to wash away sins. In the process of gambling, Fred and I continued to raise the stakes and gradually peeled off. All extraneous things, that's 'washing' in the religious sense, but it's far from over."

"I asked Fred and the butler many times in the middle. From their answers, it is not difficult to deduce a simple conclusion. Losing all external objects will not end the game, including life and soul. Foreign objects on the gaming table, why? Because the real 'purification' has not yet begun."

"I realized this problem when I found out that Fred was only annoyed by the failure, not nervous, so I set up a gamble to extract further information from Fred at a unequal cost, and obtained the purgatory. Structural diagram."

"If all the sinners are in hell and we are in purgatory, there is no heaven, then of course I will try my best to win the game, get indulgences, and escape from purgatory, but there are three layers of structure in the picture, in our There is also a cabin above the head, which is called heaven."

Zhou Zhuo pointed to the ceiling with his index finger, and reminded: "Don't forget where Fred came out at the beginning, it was the VIP room. During the process, I also used my detective ability to extract an important sentence from Fred's mouth clues."

【I'm not interested in winning or losing, and winning or losing won't change anything for me. I just want to enjoy the fun that belongs to human beings, that's all. I don't know if this answer will satisfy you? 】

Speaking of his field of expertise, the gambler finally realized: "Winning the game does not end the game, it just defeats a person who is eliminated and gets a higher-level admission ticket. The heaven that the indulgence leads to is not the outside world. It’s a higher-level gamble.”
