Bai Wu didn't think too much. When the answer was right in front of him, there was no need to waste time.
Spade Ten and Well Six are of no use now. Bai Wu is also very curious, will it be helpful to have two accompanying NPCs on this journey
When Lao Qian said that, was he referring to the Ten of Spades or someone else
He pushed open the door of the blacksmith shop, and saw several thick spider webs in the corners. This damn place seemed to have no distortion or danger at all, and the spiders became as cute as spider girls.
What came into view was the furnace and the forging table. The weapons placed on the forging table naturally did not catch Bai Wu's eye.
There are no clues like notes here.
He thought back and it seemed that he had always been able to find written records during his many explorations.
But not this time.
This time, Bai Wu's eyes fell on a blood-stained forging hammer.
Congratulations on finding the clue. Things are different now. You don’t need to look for written records. Now I can tell you the story.
There was once a blacksmith who specialized in making weapons for people. Because to open the door to the next level, one needed to pierce a heart with a weapon.
Does it seem strange? But that's the rule.
You, holding a divine weapon, naturally don't need these weapons, but you really need to pierce a heart. Whether with a weapon or a fist. This behavior can trigger the next game rules.
As for this town... you can think of it as a black spot on a white paper. The town is a place for outsiders to live.
But the people of the previous civilization have not appeared for a long time, causing this place to be deserted.
Bai Wu read the notes he saw to Jing Liu and Hei Spade Ten, intending to hear their opinions.
Although the eyes have pointed out the way to go to the next level, these two people are smart after all, so they should at least try it.
After hearing this, Spade Ten looked at Well Six:
"Lady first?"
Jing Liu had a blank expression on his face:
"First of all, I don't think the well is the other side of the world. Ten of Spades is a liar. Although to some extent, I am your enemy, liars are sometimes more terrifying than enemies."
"Tsk tsk, why don't you try to alienate the relationship between Xiaobai and me at this time?" Spade Ten just smiled.
Jing Liu continued:
"Now that we know what to do, the significance of analyzing this information is whether we can predict the next action."
"I didn't believe there could be such a pure place in the well, so I was always resistant to it until you described what I saw with my own eyes, and then I finally felt it was normal."
Jing Liu turned to Bai Wu:
"Through the heart, don't you think this behavior is out of tune with the atmosphere here?"
Bai Wu nodded. He had the same idea as Jing Liu.
It is such a pure place that even animals have no desire to kill.
Maybe these creatures are immortal, maybe they don't need to eat.
But Bai Wu still felt very uncomfortable that there was not even the slightest desire to attack.
"So I speculate that if there are really many levels here, then the way for each level to go to the next level may be killing, or some behavior that goes against the atmosphere of the area."
"So in your description, this is a black spot on a white paper, because no matter how big the blank part is, it is not as attractive as the focal point. The focal point is the disgusting thing here, which hints at the place that is coming and is related to killing."
Bai Wu agreed with Jing Liu's analysis.
Jing Liu looked at Spade Ten.
The Ten of Spades waves:
"That's very well said. I don't have much to add. The only thing I care about is, who is the blacksmith here?"
"You mentioned the people of the last civilization, and this civilization was obviously not human."
"I would like to reiterate that I insist that the connection between the well and the world is the connection between the inner world and the outer world."
"The inner world is different from the outer world. In the inner world, there are things that don't exist in the outer world. For example, if someone loses his mother, his mother may become eternal in the inner world."
"Of course, this is just an example. What I mean is that maybe in the lower levels, we can see a lot of... the existence of the previous civilization?"
The Ten of Spades's remarks are always wild and unrealistic. White Mist said:
"You think the last civilization died out on the surface, but therefore, they may be unprecedentedly prosperous in the inner world?"
"Correct answer." Ten of Spades clapped his hands.
Bai Wu asked again:
"So what was the last civilization...?"
"It's Alpha, the tower builder."
Jing Liu's body trembled. This guy really dared to think like that.
Bai Wu touched his chin:
"You mean... Alpha and the Tower Builder belonged to the previous civilization, and their civilization was destroyed, and they were the only survivors?"
"Yes, or rather, they were the two most powerful in the previous civilization. Everyone died, but these two strongest people survived."
It has a sense of twilight of the gods.
A civilization of gods, because of a catastrophe, all the gods died.
The two most powerful gods escaped this disaster, but later on they went into war because of their ideals.
One death, one seal.
In this gap, human civilization began to develop.
"You shouldn't be a liar, you should write stories. I reserve my opinion on your speculation. No, it can't be called speculation, it can only be called fantasy."
The Ten of Spades didn't care, but just pretended to be helpless:
"In fact, the boundless associations are the truest me. When I say something that is highly credible, it is actually a lie."
When Spade Ten said this, his eyes made brief contact with Bai Wu's.
At this moment, Bai Wu felt that the Ten of Spades seemed to be hinting at something.
"Why would he hint at that?"
"There's only Jing Liu here... Does that mean there are some things he can't say in front of Jing Liu?"
White Mist did not think deeply:
"Don't waste time here, let's get started and prepare to enter the next level."
"You can choose to pierce the heart of an animal—"
The Ten of Spades gave advice, but it was too late.
Bai Wu stretched out his hand directly to his heart.
"-Dirty." Just as the Ten of Spades finished his words.
Bai Wu touched his beating heart. Countless blood vessels were broken. He seemed like an immortal monster:
"It's not that I don't want to kill, I'm just too lazy to make the trip."
Well Six and Spade Ten looked at each other.
Jing Liu suddenly understood why Bai Wu dared to risk his life to launch a surprise attack and exile himself in front of his brother in that situation on the flight.
"He turned out to be a madman..."
It's reasonable for a smart person to lose to a madman.
Bai Wu held his heart, feeling as tragic as if his stomach was ripped open and his intestines were pulled out to show people how many bowls of flour he had.
But in fact... it's not tragic at all.
His heart was like a puzzle. When he took it out and put it back in, the puzzle was still complete, as if nothing had happened.
The white mist caused no killing, but it did complete the ritual.
The azure blue sky suddenly turned black.
A strange sequence of words appeared in the air like a defensive barrier of a high tower.
Bai Wu vaguely recognized that these sequences of text recorded history.
The long passages of sequence text were like a history book floating in the sky, and even Bai Wu could not understand many of the sequence texts.
It’s like a person who has learned modern Chinese suddenly sees the earlier small seal script.
However, Bai Wu still found the part that he understood, a revelation that was not history.
"The sub-civilization that holds the Seven Sins will use the scroll to enter the deep layer and complete the seal."
Bai Wu has only recently mastered the sequence text, so the translation is similar to machine translation.
When he read these words, he suddenly thought of something -
"When I was in the mine, I encountered the traveler who was before Nie Chongshan. From what I can see now, the traveler should be the guardian of Jing Er..."
"The traveler said at that time that there was a prophecy hidden in the well! Could this be the prophecy?"
This might be why Jing Er believed that he was a threat.
Could it be that Jing Er had also experienced this area
The white fog is not clear.
He looked at Jing Liu:
"What memories do you have from being in your shell?"
Jing Liu said:
"It's completely different from you. The well you see is completely different from the one we see."
Ten of Spades added:
"Maybe everyone sees it differently. Take the six siblings for example. Although they have a common memory, everyone has a different perspective."
“Maybe, you are more special than them?”
There are too many puzzles about this area, and now Bai Wu doesn’t know how to solve these puzzles.
As these sequences of words appeared... his consciousness fell into a daze.
Before completely losing consciousness, Bai Wu received a warning from his eyes—
Don't reveal your specialness. If you do, be sure to kill the person who knows it. Unless... you meet someone you can always trust.
A series of puzzles emerge, the first being the method of opening the strange lower level of the well, and the second being what the eyes mention - many choices involving the soul.
Finally, here is this incomprehensible note.
Bai Wu had no way to think, and had no time to ask Spade Ten and Well Six.
Because he had completely fallen into a coma.
…
…
The rapid knock on the door tore through the blankness in his mind. When Bai Wu woke up, he subconsciously patted his head.
As far as he could remember, he passed the interview yesterday afternoon, which was an interview with a venture capital company. He got a little too proud of himself and got drunk.
Fortunately, when he opened his eyes, Bai Wu looked at the time. There were still three hours before the interview. It was only five in the morning
The rapid knock on the door made Bai Wu regain consciousness a little.
"Please open the door. We are from the Order Group. A murder has occurred in the neighborhood. We suspect that it was done by a member of the Seven Sins Association. We would like to ask you some questions."
Order Group... sounds very familiar.
Bai Wu found that he had drunk too much last night and had not taken off his clothes, which was convenient, so he opened the door directly.
The house is rented, simply decorated, 65 square meters, with two bedrooms.
When he opened the door, he saw two people wearing neat suits, shiny leather shoes and sunglasses.
Both of them have the same face, a crew cut, a face full of flesh, tall and strong, and look quite similar.
Bai Wu felt something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what it was for a moment.
A normal person would feel scared when seeing someone from the Order Group, and Bai Wu also thought that he should be scared, but his first reaction was extremely calm.
He couldn't be afraid, as if he didn't have the ability to do so, so he complained:
"Why are you so fierce? You have such a stern face... It's only five o'clock now."
The two big guys in the Order Group frowned at the same time; their expressions and movements were almost 100% synchronized.
"With a straight face? What do you mean? You can see our faces?"
Bai Wu was stunned. Isn't this nonsense? These two people didn't have socks on their heads or masks. How could he not see their faces
Bai Wu sensed something was wrong and became alert instinctively.
Would a normal person ask themselves the question "Can you see our faces?"
And... what's going on with this huge sense of disharmony
Am I the kind of person who would get drunk just to get through an interview
At this moment, one of the two members of the order team took a step back, as if he was about to take something out from his waist.
"If you kill them both, you will be exposed. Hurry! Otherwise you will be the one to die!" A voice came from behind.
At this moment, Bai Wu's intuition coincided with the meaning expressed by the owner of the voice.
Bai Wu, who has always been a good citizen, suddenly has memories of fighting in his mind.
Bai Wu's hand formed into an eagle claw shape and reached directly towards the throat of a big guy.
The moment the figure moved forward, with the help of inertia, the other hand made an elbow strike, swinging 135 degrees.
In the blink of an eye, he killed two members of the Order Group.
There was a crisp and pleasant sound of bones breaking, and the two big guys who were quite powerful a second ago became dead.
Bai Wu looked at his own hands and felt incredible, but he did not feel the fear that a normal person would feel after killing someone.
Then he turned around and saw the Ten of Spades and the Six of Wells.
“Ten of Spades… Six of Wells… Hiss…” Bai Wu’s head hurt a little.
Spade Ten narrowed his eyes, and Well Six said:
"Looking at you like this, it seems like you have lost your memory, but since you still remember our names, it means your memory loss is not that serious."
Bai Wu could hear that the one who asked him to kill someone just now was the Ten of Spades.
When he saw the Ten of Spades and the Six of Wells, the names of the two did come to his mind, but he couldn't remember who they were.
However, Bai Wu was sure that he was the only one who could see these two people.
Because Ten of Spades had been standing behind them, it was Ten of Spades who reminded them, but the two big guys did not respond.
"It seems that your memory has been modified. But it's okay. Your independent consciousness has awakened. Maybe it has something to do with your mastery of distortion. Maybe it's also related to the way you entered here, which was to pierce your own heart... Have you discovered? You are different from others."
"What do you mean?" Bai Wu was puzzled.
Jing Liu said:
"Can you see the faces of those two people just now?"
"Yes. Is that a problem?"
"Yes, it's a big problem. Although Jing Liu and I are still phantoms, we are already within the rules."
Jing Liu added:
"The two people we saw had no facial features."
In Bai Wu's subconscious, he felt that these two phantom-like existences were his own people.
But the words of Well Six and Spade Ten made him feel incredible.
Although these two big guys have ordinary faces, they are not shameless.
While Bai Wu was confused, some changes occurred in the real world outside the well.
…
…
Outside the well, unknown area.
With the advent of the Lord of Distortion, the concentration of distortion has increased significantly in all regions of the world.
It also causes the rules in many places to become strange.
The temperature in the extreme temperature zone is even more terrifying, and the laws of physics are distorted even more exaggeratedly.
Not long ago, in a pharmaceutical factory on Orlo Island, a dozen human survivors barely survived by relying on medicines, saline solution and other supplies in the factory.
Due to its remote location, this place did not attract the attention of evil.
But even if you can escape from evil, you may not be able to escape from the rules.
This is the extreme temperature zone, low temperature.
As the temperature continues to approach absolute zero, these people are in danger of freezing to death.
Not long ago, they were cuddling together, each on the verge of freezing to death. However, just when they were about to freeze to death... the temperature suddenly warmed up.
These people who were about to freeze to death were given a chance to live.
…
…
Well world.
Not long ago, a middle manager of an air conditioning company died. This middle manager lived next door to Bai Wu. This dead middle manager happened to be in charge of an air conditioning installation project in a residential area.
The air conditioning company was very nervous because the public security in Jing City had always been good. If someone suddenly died, it must be murder. So they called the police and asked the public security team to investigate.
However, the investigation into the case was suspended because the order group responsible for the investigation was killed by the white fog.
The air conditioning company believes that the crisis facing its company has not been resolved.
Therefore, the original air conditioning order contract with Fuyuan Community in the west district of Jingshi was signed.
But the project was shelved.
As a result, residents have been unable to move into the newly built Fuyuan community.
Because the temperature is too high in the summer, it is not suitable for living without air conditioning.
In the pharmaceutical factory outside the well, people were grateful for the warming temperature, which seemed like a miracle.
In the community within the well, residents complained that the houses were too hot and uninhabitable.
(I have been busy these past few nights, so the update will be temporarily moved to the daytime.)
