"It's over."
Li raised his left hand, and the figure in black turned into a translucent stream of light. Golden vine shadows stretched out from all corners, and the golden light dispersed the gloomy shadows.
The steaming mist in the corridors, the ghosts in the forest, the flesh and blood floating on the water, the mildew scratched on the walls, all the stains that symbolize weirdness, decay and death are gently brushed by the vines Go, leaving behind a clean and blank whiteness.
Lin Chen leaned against the cold stone wall of the pond, tightly holding the handle of the black umbrella and protecting the huge umbrella in front of him.
A vine-like golden light fell from the sky, and all living creatures fell into silence for an instant, and the heaven and earth also left a moment of silence.
The heavily armed caregiver who was one step away from Lin Chen was frozen on the spot, his outstretched claws frozen in the air. His outline flickered like a poorly connected TV screen, and disappeared after two or three clicks.
Not only the nurse, but other NPCs dressed as medical staff and ghosts that looked like patients all flashed together as if they were electrocuted, and then disappeared in an instant, as if someone had turned off the holographic projection switch.
Lin Chen felt that the earth was shaking violently. First it rose rapidly, then moved left and right, and then settled rapidly after reaching a certain node.
The feeling of weightlessness is dizzying, the earth-shattering dust is flying in the air, gravel and wood chips are sputtering in all directions, and they will not settle for a long time.
Across the gray void, Lin Chen saw a corpse in a white coat that was no longer humanoid. Except for the upper body, which remained intact, the lower body was completely replaced by liquid tentacles.
The corpse's cheeks were covered with tiny eyes, and the corners of its mouth were lined with fine fangs. With its less severely deformed facial features, one could barely identify its identity -
Cheng Ping!
"Cheng Ping seems to have turned into a monster...but he is already dead. I don't know who killed him." Lin Chen calmly reported to Qisi.
He took a step forward, and the foot he took was pushed back to its original position the next second, as if he had never moved from beginning to end.
The hospital is shrinking, and the originally spacious flat ground has shrunk to only three or four people standing next to each other. The already crowded trees are pressing in like walls, forming a half ring around the pond. shaped fence.
Lin Chen was caught between the fence and the pond, unable to move.
He turned his head with difficulty and saw a pile of unrecognizable gravel scattered on the stone platform in the center of the pool, which seemed to be part of a complete statue.
There is a scepter-like prop stuck diagonally on the gravel. After looking at it for two seconds, a large number of words with difficult to decipher the meaning emerge. It is not because of lack of knowledge, but because the words themselves are wrong. It turns out that Some strokes were disrupted and reorganized, and could no longer be read.
Lin Chen suddenly felt a great sadness, but it was difficult to understand its origin. He seemed to be wearing a water-proof raincoat and soaked in a sea of emotions. He could only watch but could not intervene.
After an unknown amount of time, the golden vines covering the entire space shattered into specks of light, falling to the ground and melting like snowflakes.
The shock subsided, and Lin Chen looked back. The wide-open hospital door was behind him, embedded in the gap in the fence surrounded by trees.
Behind the door is no longer a dark staircase, but a bright and long hospital corridor, with the morgue, kitchen, operating room, archives, office, duty room and No. 404 distributed from near to far. Ward.
And sitting closest to the door was a dying bloody man.
It’s Zeiss!
……
In the Blue Frog Hospital, Zeiss leaned against the wall and sat limply.
Smoke-like thin blood seeped out from the wound, evenly dyeing the white shirt a uniform blood red. The folds of the fabric stick to each other, like flesh that has been turned out after being cut with a knife.
Chis saw himself in the reflection of the iron door. Two pure black scalpels were nailed to his left shoulder and right palm respectively. They were wrinkled and miserable, and he looked like he was going to die soon.
He thought for a moment, and if he insisted on raising his left hand to pull out the knife nailed to his right palm, he should be able to succeed.
But it’s not necessary. There’s nothing to do, so it’s fine to just sit like this.
The pain felt like it was separated by a layer of gauze, light and distant.
Zith easily ignored the slight discomfort and began to think about the information the puppet master was telling him.
The first is the role of identity cards.
The Puppet Master claims that it is the ticket to enter the final copy, and it is also a historical fragment that contains the authority of the gods.
The former cannot be verified, and the latter has also been Qis's speculation all along.
The puppet master also said that the final dungeon is not a separate dungeon as most players think, but more like a world where all players compete on the same stage, and it is related to the closed black tower in the center of Sunset Ruins. .
There is also no way to verify it.
What Chiss cares more about is the "cooperation" mentioned by the puppet master. The terms are too false and empty. They are nothing more than not deliberately infringing on each other's interests. In the dungeon, he will give priority to forming an alliance with Xila, so that he can make more alliances in the future. Clichés such as the members of Xila forming a team to enter a dungeon.
This level of "cooperation" will definitely not be the true purpose of the puppet master.
“He obviously controls enough puppets and can easily gain the numerical advantage in each copy, but he still needs to find collaborators; he can easily kill all threats, but still leaves many behind. Potential players...are they related to the final copy?”
Qisi twisted his left arm with difficulty, put his left hand into his trouser pocket, and took out two team rings.
The blood-colored rings were of a simple style. They were the two rings he had picked off from the fingers of Huang Xiaofei and Lu Zimo. Their origins could be said to be clean.
"In the final copy, are you going to form a team to participate?"
The space suddenly vibrated violently, and the floor flew upwards after settling for a few meters.
The scattered dust and stones flew around in the space, and a few particles got into Qisi's nasal cavity, causing bursts of coughing.
At the bottom of his mind, Cheng An's voice sounded excitedly: "The director is dead, Cheng Ping is dead... Frog Hospital will be mine from now on..."
Qisi has long known that Cheng An is not a good person either. They trade things with players in a high-sounding way, but they just want to use the players to get rid of the dean.
Even so, he still asked with great interest: "In your transaction with Weird Games, did you say that after Cheng Ping's death, the Green Frog Hospital would belong to you?"
Cheng An was stunned. Lived.
Two seconds later, he said with a stern expression: "In the Frog Hospital, I am the only one besides frogs. When you return your body to me, everything Cheng Ping leaves behind will be mine."
Qisi raised the corners of his lips, and in the consciousness space, his spirit body bent over and laughed.
“Comrade Cheng An, when have you ever seen a scene where a ghost takes away a body and returns the body to its original owner?”
Under Cheng An’s wary eyes, a man in red clothes The young man's fingers moved slightly, and the bloody pendulum flew back from the door, wrapped around the young man's wrist, and the sharp pendulum plunged heavily, sucking the gurgling blood.
[Effect 1: After seeing blood, the injured person will randomly obtain one of the following states: amnesia, hallucination, high fever, etc.]
The random effect is hallucination.
Qisi, who was already a ghost, looked at the phantom of his mother that appeared in front of him, and smiled calmly: "If you want, I can prick you a few more times, and you can always get a more serious effect like amnesia randomly."
< br>"It's your body anyway, I don't feel bad."
The boundary as far as the eye can see is approaching, and in just a few seconds, the door at the bottom of the flat floor is in front of you.
Outside the open door is no longer a mist filled with figures, but a pond shaded by trees. The statue in the center has been broken into pieces, and the Poseidon's scepter is stuck diagonally in the gravel, quiet and solemn.
When Qisi saw Lin Chen standing by the pond, he immediately changed his expression and became as weak as a sick person who was about to die.
He ordered through his conscious connection: "Lin Chen, the scepter on the stone platform is my prop. Can you get it for me?"
Qisi was covered in blood, and he couldn't move even if he looked at it. It’s tough, so there’s nothing wrong with asking someone to help with the errands.
Lin Chen did not doubt that he was there, turned around and stepped into the pond, pulled out the Poseidon's scepter inserted into the stone platform, and stood it beside him.
There seemed to be two cards hidden among the gravel, and Lin Chen took them out.
The first card is black and white.
On the card, a figure wearing a white robe and a white turban holds a white scepter, leading the way leisurely and casually, followed by a team of black shadows.
[Identity Card: Undead Shepherd]
[Effect: You will be able to control any undead or ghost in the copy]
The second card is mainly black.
The figure in black robe holds a crow mask in his hand, standing solemnly and silently, with dense black faces floating behind him, as if crying or frightened.
[Identity card: Doctor Beak]
[Effect: When in the upright position, you can resurrect a dead person in the copy; when in the reverse position, you will become a dead person and fall into the abyss forever]
If the first identity card gives people a sense of tranquility and tranquility, then the second identity card is full of ominousness.
Lin Chen’s ears echoed with the female teacher’s words: “The ‘door’ has been opened, and the opening of the ‘tower’ will not be too far away. If there is a ‘card’, it is better to form a new force from scratch. ."
——Is this the "card" she calls?
"Lin Chen, come here." Qisi urged him lukewarmly, looking at Lin Chen who was standing there blankly.
Lin Chen came to his senses and quickly walked a few steps to reach Qisi.
The strong smell of blood filled his nose, and he saw clearly the scalpel nailed to Qiss's body, and he was immediately aroused to empathize with pain.
He reached forward with his hand, but did not dare to pull out the scalpel. He just placed the Poseidon Scepter in Qis's hand.
Looking at the bloody Qisi, even though he knew that leaving the dungeon would restore him to his original state, his voice still had a nasal sound: "Brother Qi, please hold on a little longer. Now the system prompts that I don't know why it is stuck. Stay, wait a moment...it will be fine soon..."
Qisi was almost killed by the Poseidon's remnant soul in the Poseidon's scepter, so he "kindly" lent it to Cheng Ping.
In this way, Poseidon has a body, Cheng Ping has a godhead, and he obtains a safe Poseidon Scepter, a win-win-win situation.
Lin Chen safely took back the Poseidon's scepter, while Cheng Ping died into a pile of grotesque tentacle monsters. Although Poseidon's whereabouts was unknown, it was enough to show that his plan was successful.
[Name: Poseidon Scepter] [Type: Prop]
[Effect: Gives you the ability to play god. (The more sins absorbed, the stronger the effect)]
After absorbing all the sins in the Frog Hospital, the effect of the Poseidon Scepter has changed.
Qisi stared at the black wave pattern on the head of the scepter, and the meaning behind it was automatically generated in his mind.
He learned from this that in the future, establishing an anchor point no longer requires specific weird props. He only needs to let the scepter fully absorb the evil in a certain area to establish a connection with that area.
For example, now, he has established an anchor point at the Frog Hospital through the scepter and has initially taken control of the place.
Qisi did not immediately put the Poseidon Scepter back into the toolbar, but turned his head slightly to look at the two identity cards held by Lin Chen in his right hand.
Lin Chen understood, squatted down, and placed the identity card on Qisi's left hand.
The blood stain automatically reverses direction when it is about to touch the card, without infecting the card surface at all.
Qisi looked over the effect of the identity card and said softly: "The identity card is a historical fragment that contains the authority of the gods. Each player can only choose one to bind. Unbinding is very troublesome."
"Undead Shepherd is a card that focuses on force. Since it can control the undead, its self-protection ability is not too weak. If I remember correctly, you are ranked 85th on the newcomer list, plus this card The effect of the card may reach the top fifty.”
"Doctor Beak's positive effects are very strong, but the negative effects are fatal enough that he cannot be used until the last moment. If you have the power to resurrect the dead, you will definitely become the target of competition among the big guilds. At that time, your fate will not be controlled by you, and it is very likely that you will Forced to take risks..."
Zis paused for a moment and said in a joking tone: "If you bind the card Undead Shepherd, if I can still leave this copy, you will meet me again in the future. , you will have the opportunity to control me, just enough to offset the soul contract I signed with you."
Lin Chen listened to Qisi's analysis in a daze, and keenly caught the heavy air of death in his words.
He hurriedly comforted: "Brother Qi, don't talk nonsense. We have completed the main mission, but we are stuck... You will definitely be able to leave this dungeon alive..."
" No chance." Qisi shook his head slightly, "Please touch my heart and see if it's still beating."
Lin Chen was horrified, and raised his hand to cover Qisi's heart - there was deathly silence, without any beating.
He withdrew his hand, and his fingertips touched Qisi's arm. It was too cold, as cold as ice, and blue-black burn marks appeared on the touched area within a few breaths.
"Qi...Brother Qi, what's going on?"
Qis laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's my skill. I miscalculated the number of times and used it one more time. I was hit by Backfired and transformed into a ghost."
Skills? Soul contract?
How could such a meticulous person as Qis make a miscalculation?
There was a flash of lightning in Lin Chen's mind, and Lin Chen's eyes flashed back to what happened when he asked Qiss for help after being controlled by the puppet master, and when Qiss signed a contract with him.
‘So this time, are you willing to risk your life? ’
At that time, Chiss said this in a helpless and pitiful tone.
He originally thought this was just asking him, but now it seems that this sentence is not Qisi asking himself?
It is impossible for Zeiss to make a simple mistake of miscalculating the number of times, unless the situation is urgent and sudden, and he has to forcefully activate the skill when the number of times is exhausted.
The answer is ready to come out.
It was because of him that Qisi forcibly activated the soul contract skill in order to help him get rid of the control of the puppet master, so that it suffered backlash...
Lin Chen opened his mouth, thinking for He apologized for not being vigilant, wanted to say that he wasn't worth it, wanted to say that if he couldn't get rid of control, he could die, and there was no need to take such a big risk for him...
But he couldn't say a word.
"You don't have to feel guilty. I'm not a good person. I've killed many innocent people. Now I'm just tired of playing and want to find a place to rest. You don't have to belittle yourself, compared with me, a scumbag who doesn't want to die. , it is obviously more valuable for you to survive.”
Qiss sighed: “Take the Poseidon Scepter away. It is related to the secrets of the god level. In the future, it may be able to help you clear the final copy. Provide help.
“I don’t have any relatives in reality. I’m afraid I won’t be discovered until it rots in the house... If you don’t mind the trouble, can you go to Jiangcheng Omi Community to collect a body for me? "
Qisi's words were as breathless as a silk thread, and he was completely explaining the aftermath.
Lin Chen squatted beside him in a daze, and casually wiped the blood on his body with the lapel of his clothes.
The back of his hand inadvertently touched an identity card, and in the phantom triggered by inspiration, the doctor in black robe slowly put the crow mask on his face, and the undead behind gave birth to living skin at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Chen held the identity card and his eyes lit up: "Brother Qi, as long as I bind the [Doctor Bird's Beak] card and pull out the correct position, I can revive you!"
< br>Qisi lowered his eyes and said: "If you pull out the reverse position, you will die. It's a shame to go from one dead to two dead."
Lin Chen didn't seem to hear, and put the [Bird in his hand] Mouth Doctor] card is pressed to the heart.
The huge black card loomed looming behind him, scattered into diamond-shaped black fragments and then submerged into his body.
Two upside-down cards were suspended between Lin Chen and Qisi.
Lin Chen flipped over one of the cards——
[Upright position].
Lin Chen had a smile on his face: "Brother Qi, my luck has always been very good."
The warm white light touched Qi Si's body, but no heat remained. Come down.
Ghosts are not necessarily dead, and the process of alienation into ghosts seems irreversible.
Qiss had expected it, and he controlled the cursed spirit hidden in his sleeve without leaving a trace and pricked his arm several times until the effect of a high fever randomly appeared, making his face a little rosy.
"Thank you, Lin Chen."
He looked at Lin Chen and smiled sincerely, as if his life had really just been saved.
It doesn't matter if you become a ghost. The two dungeons of "Double Happiness Town" and "Dialectical Game" have proven that players who have become ghosts can also leave the dungeon.
All Qis' actions just now were just taking advantage of the situation to force Lin Chen to bind the [Beak Doctor] card and give up the [Undead Shepherd] card.
The ability to resurrect from the dead can be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations. Even if the risk is high, he is not the one who bears the price anyway.
At the same time, he does not want the ability that can control him unconditionally to exist in the world at all, and the [Undead Shepherd] card must be sealed.
If the [Soul Contract] skill had not been banned, Qisi would have controlled Lin Chen to directly bind [Doctor Beak] without hesitation, and there would be no need to spend so much time inducing him to make a choice on his own initiative.
However, the current development also has advantages. Lin Chen seems to be convinced from the bottom of his heart. In the future, he will not have to work hard to use contract control at all times, and he will not have to worry about complications when skills are blocked.
Lin Chen didn't know what Qisi was thinking, and worriedly looked at the scalpel nailed to the young man's wound: "Qi...Brother Qi, do you need to pull it out?"
Qisi knew that he was still a ghost. His state was revealed when he was touched by Lin Chen again. He refused without hesitation: "It's not necessary. It's almost over anyway, isn't it?"
He put a red ring in his hand towards Lin Chen's. The direction pushed and asked with a smile: "Are you interested in forming a team for future dungeons?"
Lin Chen picked up the ring and nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yeah! I'm interested. ! I do!”
At the same time, the system interface finally recovered from the lag, and the silver text was refreshed as scheduled.
[Congratulations to the player for clearing the team copy "Frog Hospital"]
[The world is painful, one day is life, the other day is death. Weep when we are alive, weep when we die, weep when we are alive and when we die. 】
On the black and white background of the old movie quality, pregnant women with big bellies but skinny bodies lined up in a queue, walking forward with dull eyes.
Skeleton-like babies fell from them one after another, followed behind them, and grew up at a speed visible to the naked eye, growing into the same skinny women.
Their bellies get bigger little by little, giving birth to hollow babies, and the cycle starts over and over again.
Bones gradually piled up on both sides of the road. Those piles of bones turned into mountains of gold and silver, and quickly got lower.
The buildings next to it changed from thatched houses to palaces, then to bungalows and high-rise buildings.
The queue of pregnant women is always walking numbly and slowly, endless...
[Mother hates her son, and her son bites her mother, year after year, generation after generation, without interruption. Suffering and suffering, hating and hating, but to whom? 】
【"Frog Hospital" TrueEnd-"Reincarnation of Suffering" has been included】
[The dungeon will be automatically transmitted after three minutes]
Outside the iron gate, a long-haired woman in white clothes stained with blood and dragging her umbilical cord walked out of the forest and walked softly to Cheng Ping's body, for fear of making any noise. He slowly squatted down beside him as if waking him up.
The woman gently hugged Cheng Ping's head covered with eyes and fangs, lowered her body and gently kissed the ugly corpse, feeling nostalgic and admiring.
Cheng Xiaoyu also appeared, throwing himself on the body and crying loudly. After a moment, he raised his head and glared at Chiss: "Bad guy! You are a bad guy!"
"Yes, I am a bad guy. "Qisi smiled crookedly, holding the lower handle of Poseidon's scepter with his left hand and leaning forward slightly.
Golden rain fell from the sky, hitting Cheng Xiaoyu's family of three like meteors and lava, igniting a raging fire.
Cheng Xiaoyu and the woman screamed in pain. Two figures, one large and one small, were fluttering like rags. They twisted, curled, and dwarfed in the firelight. In just half a minute, they turned into two piles. A small hill of ash.
Qisi watched the tragic situation of the two ghosts with great interest, and the index finger of his right hand tapped the rhythm on the ground.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lin Chen, who was stunned on the spot. There was a rare hint of compassion in his smile.
"Who says good people don't live long..." (End of this chapter)
