If the new life in this twisted tower world can be compared to a journey.
So the beginning of the journey, before reaching the Bridge of the Dead today, Bai Wu always believed that it started from when he was awakened by the high temperature outside the tower on a street in Food City.
But now, this guy who was shot through by a bullet is likely from the "farm", which means...
The two worlds are actually not that far apart
One time travel is a coincidence, but two time travels must have some connection. What is this connection
Or maybe what we see on the Bridge of the Dead is just the ghosts’ exaggerated imagination
"If you have a lot of doubts, just ask me. You can want to know anything. I will tell you everything I know. Although the fact that you can get here shows that you can see through my true nature, as a being who has lived here for hundreds of years, my abilities are much greater than you think. I am playing the role of the person you think of. Although I am not him, I can give you the information he knows!"
Ten of spades.
He revealed the tattoo on his sleeve and the Ten of Spades mark on his wrist, allowing Bai Wu to confirm his thoughts.
Countless questions popped up in an instant, but Bai Wu didn't speak. After experiencing Bai's father, he was able to suppress his overflowing desire for knowledge.
He even made an expression that said, "I'm about to speak, please say more."
The "Ten of Spades" waited for seven hundred years. For them, passing through the Bridge of the Dead area on the entire island was the easiest, but for pure living people, this area was the most difficult to pass through.
But there are very few living people here. There have been a group of people over the past seven hundred years, but they basically died in the first two areas, or were kidnapped by the undead who were further ahead.
Finally someone came here, and he didn't want to let Bai Wu go:
"Aren't you curious about how I did it? Ask me now! Let me tell you the whole story! I can sense your thirst for knowledge."
Many clues were connected in Bai Wu's mind. His father's words were not just a casual remark.
Death is just the beginning of the next journey...
He had heard this sentence many times, and Bai Wu suddenly felt... Maybe his father was not just a perpetrator
Is the father aware of today's twisted and perverted world
Bai Wu shouldn't have expected anything from this idea. The pain he experienced in his childhood made him hate his father. But deep down, he still hoped that everything could have a reasonable explanation.
Coming back to his senses, he sorted out the various clues he had learned so far:
"The Masked Monster's Fusion Disease will cause space-time fluctuations. From the words "before the end of time" mentioned by the Masked Monster before, it is enough to prove that the Masked Monster has experienced more than one Fusion Disease outbreak."
"And he mentioned an old enemy, and Cain was the disciple of that old enemy."
"If the person in front of me is not deliberately trying to confuse me, then the Ten of Spades tattoo on his wrist is enough to prove that he is the Ten of Spades."
"It turns out that what I said when I mistakenly entered the farm really made him escape from the farm..."
"But why did the Ten of Spades go to another world? And why did the Ten of Spades transform into a serial killer and send me to another world?"
The distance between the two worlds may not be as far as you think.
"At least he's not Cain."
This answer surprised Bai Wu. If the Ten of Spades was Cain, then Cain had seen himself, so he couldn't have failed to recognize him.
Because of this face of mine, the difference between my two lives is not that big.
Even Yin Shuang could tell at a glance... that her face was somewhat similar to her father's.
So the Ten of Spades and Cain are two people.
At this moment, "Ten of Spades" also realized that Bai Wu's focus was here:
"Don't you want to know what's outside the wall? Don't you want to know the deepest secrets of this world? Aren't you curious about the relationship between you and me? Does the justice you pursue fail to stand the test?"
Bai Wu took three steps back, and with every step he took, the fear in Spade Ten's eyes grew more intense.
This evil spirit was so eager to make Bai Wu speak.
But Bai Wu was sure of one thing: the evil spirit knew very limited information.
When the white fog was about to leave the Two of Clubs area, the expression of the Ten of Spades turned resentful:
"If you miss me, many secrets will never be solved! Don't go! Don't go!"
Gunshots rang out continuously, and the evil spirit tried to retain the white mist, but the bullets had no effect at all.
Bai Wu was unmoved. If he took another step back, he would be able to leave the area.
His current location is the intersection of four areas: Two of Clubs, Three of Clubs, Two of Hearts, and Three of Hearts.
Looking at the calm expression on Bai Wu's face and the distance that allowed him to leave the area in one step, the evil spirit finally admitted defeat.
"If you can save me, if you have any other way to save me, please help me... I don't want to... I don't want to stay here any longer! Please... Please..."
The black hand stretched out from the dirty earth again, and the "Ten of Spades" was dragged into the ground bit by bit.
"The dead can only become dead... The people you see in this area are all dead... I can tell you more information... Please come back... Save me!"
Bai Wu still did not express his opinion.
This evil spirit is not like the one who plays the role of his father. It has a strong will to survive. Obviously, being in this area is a torture for them.
After the undead completely sank into the ground, the white mist stepped into the Three of Hearts area.
At this moment, all the scenes on the filthy land disappeared.
It was as if he had just walked through a barren land with nothing in it. What surprised him a little was that Yin Shuang and Lin Wu Rou were also there.
They actually walked faster than me.
The Hongtao area is a stone forest.
There are jagged rocks and various strange-shaped stone tablets are irregularly arranged among them. The huge stone tablet in the middle is very similar to the stone tablet in the tower.
You made it across the Bridge of the Dead, which was a pretty fun place to visit I must say, but a new storm has appeared so let's move on to the next area.
Finally they reached the safe area, and the values on Lin Wurou and Yin Shuang's emotion watches dropped below twenty-five.
In this area, besides Bai Wu and his two companions, there were more than ten evil spirits.
Because they are so close, you don't even need to sense them; the foul smell on their bodies is enough to indicate their presence.
The three of them acted in unison; they were observing these evil and perverted behaviors.
"What are they doing?" Lin Wu Rou said.
"Pay attention to their eyes." Yin Shuang reminded.
She found that when the evil creatures touched the stone tablet, their eyes became much more lively.
Bai Wu added the truth:
"The cards can be exchanged for initial resources. They have recovered some of their memories and also completed some of their wisdom."
Lin Wurou widened her eyes, pointed at one of the evil ones, and said:
"You see, this evil has more than one card."
Next to a strange rock shaped like a harpy, an evil creature was holding four cards in his hand.
As its cards disappeared one by one, Bai Wu noticed that the power of this evil creature was increasing, and its skin color was also changing...
After a while, the stench of the originally dirty and smelly body began to disappear, and the skin color turned into that of a normal human.
Bai Wu looked at the stone tablet:
Each stone tablet hides many goods that can be exchanged. You have fifteen minutes to prepare. After preparing all this, you can go to the next area through the middle stone tablet. No one knows what kind of survival test the next area will be, but what is certain is that you are gradually discovering the truth.
Finally, I, the Observer, must remind you that you are very lucky not to have triggered 100% difficulty +1, but if you continue to play this game, the risk factor may gradually get out of control, but... I already know your choice. Kekekekeke, I am laughing so hard that I have become a weird uncle.
I see.
Bai Wu gave Lin Wurou three cards and Yin Shuang three cards. After briefly explaining the functions of the cards, he led the two of them to select various "trophies".
During this time, Lin Wurou, who had been holding back her words for a long time, began to babble again:
"By the way, what did you hear just now? I met some people who asked me all kinds of weird questions, like, have you seen my cat? And one person asked me what kind of rope I should buy for hanging myself, is that a disease?"
Sometimes Yin Shuang really envied Lin Wu Rou, who was so pretty but simple-minded and had fewer worries.
She already knew that all the people she met in this area were committing suicide, but Lin Wu Rou didn't realize it.
"Oh, and also, I ran into my grandma. I almost spoke at that time! But then I thought, that's not right, my grandma has been dead for many years! I covered my ears and closed my eyes, and rushed forward. Hey, good guy, when I came out, you two were still lingering in the middle."
Listening to Lin Wu Rou's proud boasting, Bai Wu also envied Lin Wu Rou's brains. Wang Shi still had self-awareness, but Lin Wu Rou didn't even have self-awareness.
Simply by following instructions, Lin Wu Rou was able to be the first to pass the most difficult area.
But it’s also a good thing. Bai Wu is relieved that his two teammates were able to walk out of the Bridge of the Dead before him.
As for the appearance of his father and the Ten of Spades in the Bridge of the Dead, he quickly filtered them out.
Although we have obtained some clues, there are also more doubts.
And if what the evil spirit said at the end was true... This means that both the Ten of Spades and his father are already dead.
They are truly dead, and no matter what they did in their lifetime, they are just mysteries buried in history. Even in this era, perhaps no one knows about them except themselves.
Bai Wu had a hunch that he had inherited the masked man's legacy by accident, and Cain seemed to have also inherited the Ten of Spades' legacy in some way.
His intuition has always been accurate, but this time it was really just an intuition.
The Ten of Spades, the masked man, might belong to the previous generation like his father. I and Cain belong to this generation.
Bai Wu doesn't care too much about Spade Ten and the masked monster, at least compared to his father.
He really wanted to know whether the bizarre adventure he was experiencing now was related to his father.
But these questions are destined to remain unanswered.
Many times in life, just like the Bridge of the Dead that we just crossed, we must choose between satisfying our curiosity and survival.
When it is impossible to have both, Bai Wu always chooses the latter.
"By the way, what did you experience? I saw you walking slower than the white fog at the beginning, but suddenly you speeded up later?" Lin Wu Rou looked at Yin Shuang.
"It's none of your business." Yin Shuang glared at Lin Wu Rou.
"Stingy woman." Lin Wu Rou asked casually, not really curious.
Bai Wu roughly understood Yin Shuang's experience from this sentence.
Presumably, Yin Shuang also encountered an obsession, which almost made her stop where she was, but after overcoming the obsession, other undead could no longer hinder her.
The Avengers' obsession must be seeing a deceased person whom they cherished very much.
Bai Wu said:
"Don't bring up this topic anymore. Let's quickly touch the stone tablet and pick out the things you think are useful. By the way, I'll say it again, if you want to go back, you can go back early. The next game will be more difficult."
Yin Shuang did not try to be brave, mainly because she knew better than anyone else the gap between Bai Wu and her group:
"If I feel tired, I will leave on my own initiative."
Bai Wu nodded. He had no idea what the next game was. There was no pattern in the arrangement and distribution of these rocks.
The shapes are also very strange. Some look like two-headed lions, some look like harpies, and some look like people doing specific actions, such as climbing or praying.
They are similar only in outline; the rest of the parts are not as finely carved as sculptures. There are no details to be discerned, and it is impossible to confirm what the strange rocks symbolize based on the outlines alone. These strange stone tablets give people the feeling that is between natural decoration and artificial chiseling.
But Bai Wu's imagination was first-rate. These outlines automatically made him imagine all kinds of strange totems.
He came to a stone tablet with goat horns that looked like a succubus.
Also touching the stone tablet was a foul-smelling creature that looked like a woman.
Evil creatures have no gender, but they do have sexual characteristics.
Once you touch the stone tablet, it means that you have accepted the second round of the game. When the game fails, all your belongings will be taken away by these stone tablets. Of course, except for me~ Each stone tablet here retains some of the items, sequences, powers, or special props of the people who failed in the previous round of the game. And this stone tablet hides an item that you are interested in - Cangfeng.
Talent sequence 936—Hide the Edge.
Being able to hide one's own sequence so that others cannot observe it seems meaningless. At least for most people, it is difficult to obtain and is of no help in combat.
After all, in a real battle, the sequence must be exposed.
However, Bai Wu still spent three cards to replace it.
"This place is somewhat similar to a casino, but the participants are very special. They seem to be all deceased people... The person just now used the card to return to normal from the corpse state, right?"
Bai Wu now speculates that this island, which was said to have solved all problems seven hundred years ago, is probably also an area under the jurisdiction of some super evil person.
Maybe it will involve unknown big forces, but he is not afraid. At least this place is more generous than the casino, and the first reward for passing the level is permanent.
The first level of the game, Corpse Island Escape, seems very simple, it is one of those rare blue areas of normal difficulty. Bai Wu is looking forward to the later scenes, if the risk is proportional to the difficulty.
There was only one card left. Bai Wu looked at many stone tablets and found that they either obtained basic combat attributes or sequences that he could not redeem. Moreover, the sequences were basically useless and were all very late sequences. The combat attributes were also very bad and could only be used by Evil Fall.
What remains are numbered memories of life.
These things are very important to these filthy and evil creatures, because without some of their memories of their previous lives, they will never be able to use their wisdom to solve problems in the next game. They will just follow their instincts like in the first round of the game, and then be tricked and killed by the white fog.
Bai Wu, Yin Shuang and Lin Wu Rou are participating in this game as living people, and they do not need these memories.
In the end, Bai Wu chose a card with two mouths drawn on it, with the big mouth swallowing the small mouth:
Take away someone else's right to act in one round and let you speak.
He doesn't know what the next game will be, but he has always been fond of this kind of functional props.
Yin Shuang chose a fireproof suit that could make one immune to fire for thirty seconds and a mirror that could reflect invisible objects.
Lin Wu Rou chose a bottle of potion that could randomly remove a negative attribute, as well as a clown card with a taped mouth.
Looking at the strange props, Bai Wu began to ponder, if the casino had a series of trading items because of the legendary entries, then what was the reason for the Corpse Island
This is also a question that cannot be answered for the time being, so he can only continue to collect more clues.
After choosing the props, the three of them and a group of evildoers came to the central stone tablet.
The moment their hands touched the stone tablet, all the strange rocks seemed to come alive and twisted strangely, and the next round of survival game officially began.
