Unnamed guild base, in the office of Frog Hospital.
The newly purchased large screen hangs in front of the desk, showing the progress of completing the "Colosseum" copy from Lin Ye's perspective.
Lin Ye, like all the players, was watching the movements of Nian Fu and Chang Xu broadcast through the slate.
As the number one newcomer on the list, Chang Xu has gained a lot of fans. At this moment, a large number of people poured into Lin Ye's live broadcast room and started barraging.
“I’m new here, what are you doing? Why is it so black and rumbling?”
"Chang Xu is chasing a massacre player named 'Qis'. This person seems to be the Si Qi in the copy of "Hopeless Sea". It's not simple."
"Yes, everyone activates [Darkness" The effect of "Judge" has made killing him the main task. It is not easy to survive until now with all the enemies in the world."
"Am I the only one who thinks that Chang Xu is wrong this time? Have you ever thought that it might be a misunderstanding to target someone like this? "
"I think Chang Xu himself is guilty and doesn't even dare to broadcast live. Is this the legendary identity card really effective? Horrible..."
Ignore the idiotic barrage of idiots, there are still some relatively objective and calm contents, which can roughly reflect the players' views on Chang Xu's behavior.
Regardless of whether Qisi is massacring players or not, Chang Xu's persistent pursuit is enough to make most players feel insecure. Who knows if you will kill other players in the same way?
What's more, there is such a big killer as the [Dark Judge] card, which is basically equivalent to killing whoever you want...
Some players have already quit the game and are preparing to I posted a post on the forum criticizing the Kyushu Guild for its tyranny.
Lin Chen sat behind his desk, ignoring the messy barrages and paying attention to Qisi's situation through Nian Fu's eyes.
He heard Qisi confessing to Nian Fu the fact that he was dead, and saw Qisi lying in a pool of blood, his life passing by intuitively and tangibly with the blood.
The young man in the red suit smiled calmly and looked at the dome with half-closed eyes. The color of his scarlet eyes faded as they spread, and the sharpness under his eyes faded away, leaving only a calmness without joy or sorrow.
The rat people took the blood to lift the curse and then prostrated devoutly. The rich colors gave the scene a sacredness like a religious painting.
Lin Chen suddenly felt that Qisi looked very much like the devoured god in the mural.
"Brother Qi, what are your next plans? Is there anything I can help you with?" Lin Chen asked again.
He didn't know Qiss's plan, but he felt from the bottom of his heart that Qiss might already know the way to clear the level.
That would be great, otherwise why go to all the trouble of lifting the Curse of the Skaven?
Think about it, from the time he met until now, Qiss has always tried his best. How could he die in the dungeon so easily?
The situation in "Frog Hospital" is equally dangerous. Can't he still save the day?
"The plan..."
Qisi had long known from Lin Chen's description that Nian Fu's perspective was broadcast on the stone slab, so all words and deeds had meaning, enough to Mislead other players to some extent.
He wants to use half-truths and half-false information to induce players - more precisely, Chang Xu - to make a certain choice, which will be one of the key factors that determine whether he can return from the dead.
But in addition, it is not enough. On top of the extremely low probability, you have to bet on an even lower probability.
This can no longer be said to be a "plan", but a gamble. If you are not careful, you will lose all your money. The benefits are not proportional to the effort, but you have to make a desperate gamble.
Chisi thinks that he has been quite unlucky since he was a child. Although lucky things happen occasionally, they are not the norm after all.
What's more... he doesn't think that Li, who is in charge of destiny, will be fair and just.
"My plan is... when I die, you will inherit my legacy and live a good life, and when you think of it, give me a stick of incense during the holidays." Qisi narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Lin Chen thought to himself, "Brother Qi still likes to joke so much." He was about to continue, but heard the young man continue: "Lin Chen, count the time, I only have ten minutes left to live. In the end During this time, please talk to me for a while..."
What do you mean? Isn't it a joke?
But how? He clearly seemed to have arranged everything...
Lin Chen was stunned. He suddenly remembered that Qisi had told him about the characteristics of the [Immortal] long ago——
Unable to heal itself after being injured, it will fall into eternal sleep as soon as the blood runs out.
In other words, as long as Qiss is injured in the dungeon, he will be sentenced to death!
Yes, no matter how well Qisi strategizes, as a human being, there will always be omissions, negligence, and death...
But he has never ignored this. At one point, he was accustomed to relying on Qisi to survive crises. Even though he knew that Qisi was in a desperate situation, he took it for granted that the latter could turn danger into a disaster by his own ability...
"Lin Chen, after I die, You should stop wearing the human skin mask and let the identity of 'Lin Crow' disappear completely. At present, you have not revealed many clues. As long as you no longer appear in their sight, they will not be able to know about you and the unnamed guild. relationship.
"At that time, you can join the Kyushu Guild as 'Lin Chen'. Chang Xu has a good impression of you in "Rose Manor", and you often post free guides on the game forum. Then you only need to say that you are in "The Ghost" If you were used by me in the dungeon, they will be willing to believe you.
“The final dungeon is approaching and the situation is uncertain. It is better to join a big guild than to fight alone. ”
Lin Chen opened his mouth, but was speechless.
He suddenly realized that although he was the nominal president of the guild, he relied on Qisi for everything, from the establishment of the guild to When negotiating with various forces, he was like a child who had not grown up, asking Qiss to handle it personally.
When Qiss needed his help, he could do nothing but find some information. He was even stupid enough to ask Chiss what he needed before he could remember what to do.
Qisi said that he had invested in him, but he had paid for him unilaterally from the beginning to the end, and he could not help him in any way...
Up to this moment, Qisi still had to consider him, even at the expense of Using his own reputation as a stepping stone...
"Well, time flies so fast, there are only the last ten seconds left." Qisi's voice was as light as a dream, "Ten, nine, eight, seven ...Three, two, one..."
The last whisper drifted in my ears, and all the sounds fell silent.
Lin Chen clenched and unclenched his fists as he listened to Qi Siyun calmly announcing his death.
Everything in front of him was like a nightmare that dragged and entangled a lost traveler. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to believe that Chiss was dead, and wanted to deceive himself that this was just a joke played by Chiss on him.
But the live broadcast clearly showed Qisi’s voiceless body, and the connection deep in his soul was gently broken, just like a thread slipping through his fingers.
For the first time, Lin Chen truly realized that Qisi was not a god, but a human being, a person who could be injured and die...
There were various materials on the desk, including Past clearance records, related books and academic documents are all those that may be related to copies of "Colosseum" by spending points in exchange for weird games.
Papers full of text are spread messily on the desk, and open books are piled up randomly. Potentially useful paragraphs are drawn on them with black and red pen circles. The draft paper was covered haphazardly, and the deduction process was filled with messy notes.
But everything seems to be just a pretense of self-comfort, which is in vain and useless. It can't even delay Qisi's death...
Lin Chen's mind went blank and he stared blankly. Watching the scenes played in Lin Ye's live broadcast room.
The rat people regarded Qisi as their god, took his body away and hid it, and said they would protect Nian Fu.
The players in the Colosseum deduced Qisi’s purpose one by one...
Lin Chen knew from this that Qisi knew that he would die, so he was willing to Accelerating his own death and using his blood to lift the rat man's curse are just paving the way for Nian Fu.
Qisi is such a person, always making plans for his companions, whether it is him whom he has known for a long time, or Nian Fu, whom he met for the first time in the dungeon...
But why? He doesn't deserve it... Lin Chen's nails dug deeply into his palms.
He is an extremely mediocre person. He is ranked 30th on the rookie list. His force value is not strong enough, his reaction is not sensitive enough, and his knowledge is not sufficient. Apart from being lucky, he is not good enough. Nothing special.
Being able to survive the novice pool dungeon is already a fluke. What virtue can he have to make those veteran players who are destined to stand at the top of the weird game pay so much for him?
‘Maybe it’s because your name is very similar to the protagonist of the novel, so I think it’s not a bad investment. ’
Chis’s words are still in his ears. He once made up his mind to make himself more valuable and prove that Chiss did not invest in the wrong person.
But does a waste like him really have the value that Chiss needs? No matter how hard he tried, he seemed to be unable to match Chiss...
"The gods said to keep his body, and he will be resurrected in the future." The rat people relayed the oracle in a pious tone.
Lin Chen caught the word "resurrection", and a flash of lightning flashed in his mind.
His identity card is [Doctor Beak], which can resurrect a dead person in the dungeon.
But he soon fell into despair.
After the dungeon started, there was no way he could join the dungeon where Zeiss was in midway...
The black-robed doctor holding a crow mask in the upper left corner of his sight was walking among thousands of undead. , as if to sarcastically imply that no one can save him.
Lin Chen slumped down on the chair, his eyes distracted.
He couldn't save Qisi, he once again betrayed Qisi's trust. He owed Qisi too much, but he could never repay it...
A scarlet leaf suddenly appeared in the depths of his consciousness, gently sway.
Lin Chen's attention was drawn, and he intuitively felt that it was related to Qisi, and quickly controlled the tentacles of his consciousness to touch it.
A line of information came without emotion——
[Enter the copy of "Colosseum" and win the final victory, you will have the power to interfere in other time and space]
...
In a dark space, Qisi sat bored, waiting for the final result.
He believed that not only he was waiting, but Weird Games was also waiting.
The game he laid leaves room for discussion on the outcome of the game, and Weird Game cannot directly rule him out.
So he had to sit on the bench for a while in this place similar to the backstage, instead of being immediately kicked back to reality to use the last half hour to write a suicide note...
Of course, Qisi felt that he would not be able to write a suicide note, and would only use his last time to try to clear a few more rounds of Happy Fun.
He has neither love nor hatred for the human group, so he neither intends to leave anything behind, nor does he intend to retaliate against society and take away a few people at random...
"I am very curious. How do you know that winning the final copy of "Colosseum" will give you the power to interfere in other time and space?" Qi's figure appeared again and asked with interest.
Qisi almost knows where his plan has gone.
It seems that he sent the scheduled message to Lin Chen through the Poseidon Scepter. I believe that with Lin Chen’s IQ, he will definitely think that it is a prompt given to him by a strange game, and follow it with fear and fear. Well...
"You guessed it." Zeiss raised his eyelids and looked into Qi's eyes with a smile. "The copy of "Colosseum" is obviously the epitome of a weird game, or a place for testing, which involves a lot of authority over time and space. It Since other dungeons can be included, it must be easy to open up the gaps between various aspects of time and space.
"The core logic of this dungeon is 'desire', and the winner's wish to meet the gods is written in the rules. It's a matter of fact, even God can't disobey it. As the so-called 'Lord of Time and Space', it should not be difficult for Li to realize Lin Chen's wish to 'go to the time and space where Qis is'. "
Qi looked down at Qiss, with an inexplicable smile in his scarlet eyes: "You seem to be sure that your believer will be willing to take risks to save you and win the beast-fighting game. "
"It's just a gamble. "Qisi lowered his eyes and looked at his fingertips, "It's like you bet that I would win. ”
……
In the Ruins of the Sunset, Lin Chen came out of the guild base, stopped by the roots of a World Tree, and teleported back to the game space.
He stood in front of the rabbit hole as the entrance to the dungeon, and said word by word: "I want to enter the "Colosseum" dungeon."
[This dungeon is special, with a death rate as high as 95%, do you want to spend 10,000 points to enter this instance? 】
Lin Chen said: "Yes."
He touched the human skin mask still on his face. From the day of the guild meeting to now, this mask is no longer there. Picked it off.
He thought he would never take it off again.
[After entering the selected dungeon, you will be able to experience the full dungeon process, but you will not be able to obtain point rewards, unlock endings and achievements]
Lin Chen said: "I know."
He jumped into the hole.
[Copy loading...Loading completed...]
[Copy Name: "Colosseum"]
[Copy Type: Multiplayer Survival]
[Pre-tip: Humans are also beasts. We are not born to be beasts. 】
Lin Chen opened his eyes in the stone room. The host Goat opened the iron door and led him to the high platform.
The copy process proceeds in an orderly manner.
During the self-introduction session, a young female player said with an arrogant look: "I am a member of the Jiuzhou Guild. This dungeon seems to be confrontational and competitive, but I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to pass it with minimal casualties. "
Lin Chen had been silent before. Now he looked at the female player and asked: "You are from Kyushu, so you have started a live broadcast, right?"
" Of course." The female player's tone was very proud, "We can all sit upright, there is nothing to hide."
"That's good," Lin Chen said three words and left. Go to the female player.
So all the players watching the live broadcast saw the face that belonged to the "Lin Crow", as gloomy as a ghost and cold and stern.
"I am Lin Crow, the president of the unnamed guild." He said, his voice low and gloomy. "Not long ago, the Kyushu Guild deceived our members into the dungeon in the name of cooperation to commit murder and persecution.
“So, I personally entered this instance to save my vice president. "(End of this chapter)
