Chapter 446: Meeting the Lie Hunter Again
Night.
Zhuge Jun stretched himself and prepared to go back to the dormitory to rest.
Today’s results are great!
After getting through the previous painful period, Zhuge Jun felt that his gaming experience seemed to be getting better.
After defeating the Furnace Craftsman, coupled with Ni Tiantian's new handle, he felt that his mastery of Transformation Slash had reached a higher level.
Next, he began to attack the cathedral for the first time.
The reason why I say this is the first time is because according to the flow of the game, you will have to return to the cathedral from other entrances later and conquer it again.
According to the plot, after sweeping the workshop area, the protagonist has basically unlocked all the basic functions, including prosthetic hands and body parts modifications.
The workshop area failed to investigate the cause of the disaster, so the next step is to enter the cathedral to find the archbishop and survivors.
Judging from the situation of this disaster, the cathedral is the area hardest hit by lycanthropy. It is filled with a large number of monsters, mutants and madmen, as well as a small number of corrupted dolls.
After players finish exploring the cathedral for the first time, they will go to other areas to continue exploring, and return to the cathedral after a certain process.
Zhuge Jun originally thought that the difficulty of the cathedral would suddenly increase by a level, but it did not.
It even feels lower!
In terms of numerical values, the monsters in the cathedral do have thicker blood and stronger desire to attack, which also caused a lot of trouble for Zhuge Jun.
But these beastly monsters are basically really weak to fire. After Zhuge Jun used his prosthetic hand to enchant the weapon with fire, it can be said that it is easy and enjoyable to kill these mobs restrained by fire.
In addition, in the church area, Zhuge Jun also found some rituals.
As long as the corresponding attributes of knowledge, belief, and mystery are clicked on the threshold, these rituals can be used.
Since Zhuge Jun himself has been lying all the time, his spiritual vision is relatively high. Just click on the corresponding attribute to meet the requirements for using the ritual.
He doesn't have much mana, so he basically doesn't use those powerful offensive rituals, but some auxiliary rituals are still very useful.
For example, enchanting weapons with blue god's flames, or adding spiritual attacks to weapons, etc. are all quite delicious.
After some twists and turns, he arrived at the door of the first boss in the church area.
“Is there an archbishop behind this?
“Probably not. Judging from the approximate size of the church area, there will be at least two bosses arranged for the first time. At present, I still have more than half of it unexplored, so it should be the first gatekeeper boss, followed by the archbishop.
“Go in and take a look, the experience store will close in one hour, try to get it within an hour!”
Zhuge Jun opened the door in front of him confidently.
“Hey, isn’t this an old acquaintance?”
Zhuge Jun was almost happy when he saw the cutscene CG, because he knew this person, the one he fought in the prologue with weapons all over his body. A hunter of lies like a hedgehog.
At that time, Zhuge Jun had many fierce battles with him, but basically he didn't get stuck very much. In my impression, he was a boss that was not too difficult to deal with.
The main reason is that although he has many weapons and various moves, his attacks are basically the same, and the attack movements coincide with the player's Transform Slash GP, so it is very easy to GP.
"Although the GP of the official chapter is a little more strict than the prologue, it doesn't matter, I have grown up too!"
Zhuge Jun rushed forward with confidence, and he also knew that he would definitely not be able to kill Lies in this battle. After all, the hunter will have to come to the cathedral to fight again later, but it shouldn't be a problem to score a plot kill quickly.
Soon, the battle begins!
The battle at the beginning is quite normal. Although the GP judgment is indeed much stricter than in the prologue, the moves are still the same and the weapons are still the same, even slightly less types than in the prologue. A little bit.
After practicing with the trigger back button, Zhuge Jun has initially mastered GP. Every time he seizes the opportunity, GP can knock out a large amount of the opponent's health.
Judging from this situation, defeating this boss should be just around the corner.
However, a quarter of his health was lost, and he suddenly entered a real-time cutscene.
I saw the lie hunter holding a scythe, suddenly rushed over and seamlessly performed a throwing skill, trying to lock Zhuge Jun; while the character controlled by Zhuge Jun hurriedly blocked it with weapons, and the two sides were temporarily trapped in " The stalemate of fighting with swords.
“I smell ‘lies’ on you...
“Tell me, in front of that bridge, did you say you were a doll or a human being? ”
At this time, the screen temporarily entered a time-stop state, and a countdown similar to the previous lie appeared on the screen, as well as two different options of "Doll" and "Human".
“Oh my god, what the hell is this!”
Zhuge Jun was stunned. This was the first time he encountered a boss who suddenly had to answer questions in the middle of the battle.
How should I answer?
Zhuge Jun's brain is running rapidly. If he follows his previous habits, he will definitely continue to lie at this time, but this boss is called "Lie Hunter", and the line also says "smells the smell of lies", then this Isn't it bad to lie at this time?
But is it possible that the other party is bluffing?
Are you playing psychological warfare? You want to deliberately induce me to tell the truth?
Maybe he can't accurately determine whether I lied? After all, I have lied so many times, and my spiritual vision attribute is not low, so I won’t necessarily be exposed, right?
It will be endless if you keep repeating the nesting of dolls like this.
Time is tight, and there is only about 10 seconds of thinking time in total, so Zhuge Jun doesn't care so much anymore and decides to try lying first.
It doesn’t matter if this option isn’t appropriate, right? After all, this is during a boss battle, so I should be able to choose again next time.
His answer on the bridge was "doll", so if he wanted to continue lying at this time, he should choose "human being", right?
『Humanity』.
"Lie!!" The lie hunter suddenly became more energetic, and the power on the scythe suddenly increased. In the cutscene, he directly broke through Zhuge Jun's defense and opened a huge wound on his body.
At this time, the game returned to the normal fighting state. Zhuge Jun took a closer look and saw that his blood volume had dropped a lot, and his torso was also slightly damaged.
And that's not the worst.
I saw that the Lie Hunter's scythe seemed to have some kind of special enchantment on it, and it faintly glowed with a different blood-red light than before.
Not only that, the lie hunter’s tactics have changed.
Not only the speed of the moves has changed, but also some fast and slow knives are mixed in. There are even new derivation of the originally fixed moves.
"Oh my god, why don't you show off your prologue when you are so awesome?"
Zhuge Jun was speechless. He quickly began to lose ground in the battle, and soon collapsed and was out of control.
Back to Gaslight, Zhuge Jun briefly summarized the reasons for his failure.
"Sure enough, my initial idea was right, I can't lie!
"If you lie, the boss will be strengthened, which is obviously a level stronger than the previous battle.
"Then let me tell the truth this time and give it a try?
"I just don't know if there is a chance to choose again in this game. ”
With a slightly uneasy mood, Zhuge Jun once again stepped into the boss battlefield.
Sure enough, Ni Tiantang still has some mercy, and this time his health still dropped by 4%. After one point, the Lie Hunter rushed up to release the throwing skill, and the two sides entered the sword fight screen.
It was still the same problem, and they still had ten seconds to make a choice.
This time Zhuge Jun understood and directly chose "Doll".
This time it was really true. He was indeed the "doll" who answered on the bridge.
However, the Lie Hunter suddenly became more energetic, and the scythe in his hand bounced Zhuge Jun away again, leaving a bloody opening.
“Lie!!”
Zhuge Jun was shocked: “Oh no! You don’t follow martial ethics! What I told this time is obviously the truth!
"You don't follow martial ethics. If you want to cheat, just cheat. Why are you still asking me hypocritically?"
The next battle became no suspense again, and the lie hunter still had a new look like last time. With his different moves, his strength was fully enhanced, and Zhuge Jun was defeated again.
Back to gaslighting, Zhuge Jun was very unconvinced.
"Is there a bug in this game? Why would he shout lies when I tell the truth? This is unfair... Hey, wait, something doesn't seem right..."
Zhuge Jungang I wanted to shout "This is not fair", but suddenly realized something.
He himself seems to be caught in a paradox!
If he answered "human beings", then he answered "dolls" on the bridge at that time, so this is a lie;
But if he answered "dolls", although at this time He told the truth, but since what he said on the bridge was a puppet and he was actually a human, what he said on the bridge was still a lie.
So, in fact, no matter what Zhuge Jun chooses, he cannot change the fact that he once lied on the bridge.
Both situations will be caught by the lie hunter’s special skills, and they will be able to see through them on the spot and strengthen themselves.
"Oh no, you can't afford it, can you!!"
Zhuge Jun was speechless. He thought for a moment, and it seems that there is only one solution to this situation to prevent the lie hunter from exploding.
That is to go back in time, stop lying on the bridge, and just say that you are human.
The price is that the giant beastly doll will turn into a form that is relatively restrained by humans, making the boss battle more difficult, but when it comes to fighting the lie hunter, the player can directly choose "human", double The truth directly leaves the lie hunters with nothing to say and no lies to hunt.
As for telling the truth, is the lie hunter simply not strengthened? Or will it be counterattacked or weakened?
This is unimaginable. After all, Zhuge Jun did not retain the manual archive at that time. Even if he did, he would not be able to retype the entire previous workshop process.
It’s so uncomfortable!
Now Zhuge Jun has only one last option left: fight hard!
"There is still one hour, I hope we can fight."
He calmed down and continued to fight.
Fortunately, after the boss has been strengthened, although it has more tricks, it is still within the acceptable range. Zhuge Jun tried three or four more times, and finally continued to lower the Lie Hunter's health and forced him to change weapons.
However, not long after changing weapons, the Lie Hunter, whose health had dropped to half, rushed over again and forced Zhuge Jun into a cutscene again.
“I smell more ‘lies’ on you...
“Tell me, at the entrance to the workshop area, did you say you were a human being or a doll? "
Zhuge Jun almost vomited blood on the spot: "Nima, are you still coming? ?
"What a sin!"
Obviously, the answer to this question is still the same as before. No matter what the choice is, it can only be a lie in the end.
This is purely the malicious intent of the designer!
