Chapter 19 [Ace - Gray Joker]
After a few breaths of gunshots, Chujiu came back to his senses from the shock of falling from the clouds.
She has never had such an exciting experience.
At this moment, she seemed to see a clown walking on a tightrope in her eyes. Not only did he have no fear, but he grinned at the God of Death in the abyss, full of mockery.
This guy played with Death!
Go crazy.
No matter how calm he was on Chujiu, he couldn't contain his excitement and curiosity at this moment. He asked very quickly: "You, you. Did you already know that there was something wrong with this gun?"
She watched two people die under this gun with her own eyes, but was there something wrong with the one in their cage?
Ji Xun smiled and shook his head, denying this statement: "No. The gun is not a problem."
Chu Jiu also felt that it was not the gun's problem, "Then. Why can you Six shots?”
"The rules of the game are that you can only shoot one person at others, but they don't say you can only shoot once at yourself."
The corners of Ji Xun's mouth raised slightly, as if he was still immersed in the thrill of gambling on his life in the roulette game. in the aftertaste.
"And I have said before that the factors that influence the level are not just the space rules themselves."
As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at the iron thorn above his head.
Time has passed, but the iron thorn has not fallen.
That means they passed the level.
Both of them passed the level alive.
He also passed the level in a way that neither of the other two cage players chose.
In a blink of an eye, he glanced at the pair of eyes full of curiosity on the opposite side of Chujiu. Ji Xun turned to look at the mechanical clown who was standing there, and asked meaningfully: "Really, Mr. Clown?"
But the clown did not respond and watched quietly, but it seemed that the smile on its face was getting more and more weird.
At this moment, endless question marks popped up in Chujiu, and they just wanted to know what happened.
Ji Xun had a very good impression of his teammate, so Ji Xun was naturally not stingy with his words.
Now that he has cleared the level, he has understood everything.
He talked eloquently: "If it were just a simple roulette killing game, how boring it would be. This would make the planner very incompetent. How could such a sophisticated layout have such an ordinary ending. ”
“.”
Chujiu heard this and agreed.
This extra-dimensional space is the most exquisite extra-dimensional space she has ever experienced.
If the last level is just about killing people to get out, it seems that the level has dropped instantly, and it is not worthy of the previous brilliant layout.
This is what the guy opposite said before.
But how did he know about the problem with this gun?
Ji Xun smiled mysteriously and slowly revealed the truth: "Do you still remember that sentence, "When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you"? This is actually an obvious enough reminder that when you stare at the evil of human nature, the evil will in turn stare into your heart and reveal your truest self. "
Chujiu suddenly said: "You mean that card? ”
It suddenly dawned on her that they had killed the [Shadow Demon] before and revealed a card.
They all guessed that this was a clue to the last level.
Use it now
Hey, no, it’s useless!
What do these two incomprehensible words have to do with customs clearance?
This guy shot himself six times in the head!
He must have discovered something else to dare to bet like this.
Ji Xun explained: "When I entered the mirror room before, I had a rough guess. So when I entered the iron cage and saw the layout, I guessed some more. After listening to the rules of the roulette game, I I totally guessed what the planner was thinking.”
As he spoke, he grinned, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm: "So what I really want to test in this final level has never been roulette luck. Nothing is tested more profoundly than testing human nature."
Chu Nine: "."
I heard all these words, but I didn't think she understood them.
She didn't say anything, otherwise it would make her feel stupid.
After a pause, Ji Xuncai continued: "The essence of the extradimensional space is to pass the test and get a reward. The purpose of the level is to screen some people who meet the designer's directional characteristics, and then you can get The final reward. From the previous [Break], [Witch], [Gambler], [Shadow Demon], to the current clown game. In the end, you will find that those who pass must have some of the following characteristics: Desire Restraint , courage, wisdom, firm belief, and maybe kindness. Of course, this space is special because it also tests some special things, such as: gambler mentality, cunning, madness, and paranoia. Only adventures that meet all the above characteristics. Only then can you get the final recognition.”
After a pause, he continued: "And another sentence: "Before dawn comes, someone must illuminate the darkness." The designer gave the final reminder that the person who screens the space should be the person who can make people see the light in the endless darkness. So from the very beginning, the moment whoever raises his gun and aims at his companions, he is actually out. Teammates cannot die, so there is only one choice left."
Shoot yourself!
Only at this time did Chujiu realize the profound meaning of these two sentences.
That's why this guy shot himself six times!
There must be some other factors involved. She didn't think about it for a while, but thought of something else, and wanted to ask: " Before that"
Ji Xun didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and said directly: "You want to ask the old servant before if he could pass even if he shot you several times?"
He asked and answered himself: "No, neither It's possible. He can get out alive, but he doesn't clear it. The greatest respect for the planner is to clear the game according to the rules. Although we skipped some small levels along the way, it doesn't matter. The two of them appeared here directly, obviously taking a shortcut. They should have brought in some special information from outside, rather than finding it by themselves in the space. He took it anyway. It’s not as good as the final reward.”
It’s okay to play through the game card bug, but you will lose some necessary clues and game experience.
You can get some clearance rewards, but not all.
This is inevitable.
"."
Chu Jiu was thoughtful.
Ji Xun also agreed: "That guy is actually very smart, and he obviously realized this, so he never took the gun and left it until the last moment. But even if he guessed it, he is a majestic young man He doesn't dare to gamble. If he dies, everything will be lost. After all, power and status are also shackles in some aspects, which will make people lose their sense of adventure. This is destined by fate, it has nothing to do with wisdom or anything."
Listening to Ji Xun explaining all the plots of the levels, Chujiu felt that the mixed thoughts in his mind became clear. However, how could a normal person shoot himself six times based on these two clues?
Chujiu couldn't help but ask: "This is all your speculation. What if you made a wrong bet just now?"
"If you lose the bet, you will die."
Ji Xun responded lightly.
The tone was calm, as if the conversation was not about his own life or death.
Immediately, the face under the gas mask smiled brightly.
He looked at the mechanical clown, as if he saw himself in the mirror.
After a moment of pause, Ji Xuncai added in a low voice: "To me, the outcome of this kind of gamble is more attractive than death."
These exquisite things The level allowed him to experience the long-lost, morbid, ultimate pleasure of reaching intracranial climax!
“.”
Having seen him twice, Chujiu was used to it. She knew that this guy seemed to be in that conceited and crazy state again.
"For it, the same is true."
As if he noticed some eyes looking over from the darkness, Ji Xun said again: "I made a wrong bet, I die! But it loses! If I It’s not dead, we haven’t won!”
Chu Jiu didn’t know why: “It?”
Ji Xuncan smiled: “That’s right. Is it the designer of the space? Or the big boss of the final level? "
Ji Xun asked again: "Do you know why I am saying this now?" br>
Chujiu originally wanted to say: Didn’t you tell it to me?
But she immediately understood what this meant and asked, "Why?"
Ji Xun smiled slightly: "Because, that guy has been snooping in the shadows."< br>
Chu Jiu was slightly startled and looked around: "But... if you say it like this, will it know it?"
Ji Xun shook his head: "I just told it to listen to it. Explanation Opening a perfect puzzle is a pleasurable experience, and as a level designer, if someone praises his level and understands the subtlety of the design, this is better than killing and playing with those who don't feel the pleasure of the level at all. Players feel a hundred times more accomplished.”
On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, my head was filled with black threads, and I automatically realized in my heart: Why do you feel like the stupid player you are talking about is me?
There was a pause.
Ji Xun looked at the weird mechanical clown again and asked for the second time: "Really, Mr. Clown?"
This time, the clown responded, "Yes. Yes, adventurer."
The corners of its already exaggerated mouth raised a smile that seemed to separate its entire face, and then said: "Congratulations, you have completed the test."
Ji Xun also seemed to have met his opponent and responded: "Thank you. It was a very pleasant experience."
The iron cage slowly opened.
The clown smiled slightly.
Smiling and smiling, the smile gradually solidified.
The already colorful paint color quickly dimmed, as if a person lost his life when he was about to die, suddenly eclipsed.
The mission of the mechanical clown ends here.
At the last moment, it said the second sentence on the card: "Before the dawn comes, someone must illuminate the darkness."
It was as if it heard a whisper from ancient times.
Ji Xun listened silently and thought about it seriously.
He looked at the dead mechanical clown without moving for a long time.
At this time, enlightenment reappeared.
"You heard the description of darkness in the whisper from the abyss, and you touched the 'miracle'."
Ji Xun was thoughtful, looking at the piece of paper he had received before. An ordinary black card.
At this time, it has changed.
It turns out that the catastrophic objects recorded in the file were already in his hands.
This is a gray playing card.
