"What's in the church?" Luo Jian asked Duan Li curiously.
Duan Li shook his head: "I don't remember, I vaguely feel that there is a big empty room, there seems to be a big statue inside, I can't remember the rest, when I regained my senses, I was already outside the church, Instead of going inside the church, I went outside, and at this moment, something bad happened."
"what happened?"
"They all came around me."
"who are they?"
Duan Li recalled with difficulty: "Those people, those people on the street, those people in the house, those people who ignored my existence, seemed to have suddenly discovered my existence collectively. Everywhere, they would gather towards me, with all kinds of weapons in their hands, plastic cans, steel pipes, or knives picked up on the ground, or even garbage... They threw these things at me, and they chased me.”
Duan Li's words made Luo Jian feel a little secretive. In Duan Li's description, the people in that strange city seem to be controlled by something. They repeat the previous day's events every day, repeating one or more things every day, as if ... as if in reincarnation.
Yes, reincarnation, this cycle goes on and on. Luo Jian couldn't help recalling the incident in the punishment room that he had experienced. The secret room stringed all the conspiracies and tricks on a ring, and it put the players into this ring, and it made the players surround This dreadful ring goes round and round and round and round and round and round.
So players are trapped in the 'ring', as if they are completely isolated from the outside world, they can't go out, and they can't get around this ring, they are locked in the shackles of the secret room, and they can't escape for life , the soul moves forward endlessly in reincarnation, regardless of pain or happiness.
Duan Li was still talking, he said: "Those people are ordinary people."
"Ordinary people?"
"Yes, those ordinary people who surrounded me without the slightest combat power and would be easily knocked down, when I tried to use my weapon to attack them, I realized this, so I didn't choose to continue fighting with these people to fight, because there's no point in that, they're just living corpses."
Duan Li said, "But these people are everywhere, and they will follow wherever I go. When I was surrounded by these people, they spoke to me."
"What did they say?"
"You can't be here." When Duan Li said this, he pulled out a weird smile, and he said: "Those people said this sentence word by word, and they all had no expression on their faces. ’, some people said ‘can’t’, some people said ‘here’, and then the whole sentence was connected—you can’t be here.”
"This sentence was repeated countless times by them, and I ran away in a panic. I didn't know where I should go, but I had a very strange feeling at the time, it was like a premonition. I felt that if I continued to If I stay in this weird city, I will also become one of those people, and I will also be like them, repeating some meaningless things, doing hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands to countless times, just Like a puppet on a perpetual wind-up."
Duan Li's gaze was horrifying, he kept staring in Luo Jian's direction, even though he couldn't see Luo Jian's appearance at all, he seemed to have realized that Luo Jian was standing there, they were facing each other, separated by an hour distance.
"I ran around until I came to the same place, which was the door that I entered the city in the first place. I went back to the door, and when the people were frantically surrounding me, I opened the door and walked back. Then , I returned to the secret room with countless doors at the beginning."
Duan Li looked confused, and he said, "That's weird. Because I didn't realize that I hadn't really escaped from the secret room until I returned to the secret room. I entered the secret room because I opened the wrong door. 'Lawless City', but why I was able to enter that city by such a coincidence is still unknown."
Listening to the experience Duan Li told him, Luo Jian felt that there was something in this story that he was very concerned about, and he couldn't help asking Duan Li: "Did you only find out later that the city you went to was Wulu City? "
"Yes, after I heard the rumors about Wulu City, I suddenly felt that the city I had been to might have some relationship with Wulu City." Duan Li said.
"Then why, you told me before that you are still asking for help from others? Since you have successfully escaped from this weird city, why do you still ask for help from others?" Luo Jian said.
Duan Li shook his head, "No, I didn't come out of that city at all, I feel like a part of me was left there."
Luo Jian couldn't understand: "What does this mean?"
Duan Li insisted on shaking his head, he suddenly became crazy and excited, he stood up, picked up his own weapon, that Tang Dao! He pulled his knife out of the scabbard, and the sharp blade was exposed to the air. His blade was fast and could cut everything quickly. Luo Jian had seen the power of this man before, and he knew that Duan Li would be very strong, even though that It's a matter of the future.
But Duan Li at this moment is very immature, he can't hide his restlessness and anger, he said to Luo Jian: "You can't understand my feelings, right?! As long as you have been to that city, you can understand! That terrible I feel like the city is taking my soul, a part of my body is left there, and they are aware of my presence! The group! They want to take me back!"
"Calm down, Duan Li." Luo Jian felt Duan Li's madness. He approached Duan Li, lowered his tone, and tried to make himself gentle. Luo Jian knew that this was very effective. His red umbrella combined with hypnosis It will give Luo Jian a miraculous power to appease others. He has tried this trick time and again in the Shura field.
Duan Li calmed down for a while, but he still held up his blade, and said to Luo Jian, "Don't approach me again!"
Luo Jian said gently as always: "Of course, I will not approach you, nor will I hurt you."
Luo Jian emphasized her tone: "I just want to help you."
"You can't help me!" Duan Li's hand holding the knife was trembling, Luo Jian didn't quite understand his sudden anger and anxiety, but he could understand the feeling of being alone and helpless, and he knew that Duan Li felt like this at the moment , he is alone, no one can help him, everything must be on his own, and all this will crush this young man, he is far from being as mature as Luo Jian imagined—at least not mature enough for him now.
"I can help you, absolutely." Luo Jian said in an affirmative tone, his self-confidence would give Duan Li the same feeling of confidence, it would make Duan Li feel his strength, and it would make Duan Li believe in him.
Duan Li still shook his head: "I can't trust you. I can't even see what you look like. How can I trust you?!"
"I don't want you to know my face, Duan Li." Luo Jian said, "Although it's easy for you to forget."
Luo Jian couldn't help sighing as he spoke, but he finally shook his red umbrella. He took off his disguise and exposed his figure in this small utility room, allowing the boy opposite to see him.
Duan Li looked a little surprised when he saw Luo Jian. He said in astonishment: "Is this really your true face? You didn't use some disguise or other props, did you?"
"It's not necessary. If I want to pretend, I'll just make it invisible to you like I did just now." Luo Jian was still shaking her umbrella.
"But you are still a child now." Duan Li looked at the child in front of him in disbelief, a ten-year-old boy, dressed in gray, holding a red umbrella that was bigger than himself. It's as if he could fall down when the wind blows, but at this age... it reminds Duan Li of A Lan.
"Do I sound like a child?" Luo Jian asked Duan Li.
Duan Li shook his head: "Not at all."
"Then don't treat me as a child, you can regard me as an adult, the kind bigger than you, even if I have such a face." Luo Jian said, "Actually, I don't have this face I like it so much."
"Can you really help me?" Duan Li still had doubts in his heart, "What good is it for you to help me? Maybe it's very powerful to think so, but I think that any human action...is driven by interests."
"Of course, I also came here for some purpose." Luo Jian blinked and said, "I want to go to that 'Lawless City' once."
"It doesn't matter where you go, you will only be targeted by those people."
Luo Jian asked: "Is the person who is eyeing you the so-called group?"
Duan Li also said that he didn't quite understand, "My information is limited, but in my opinion, everyone in Wulu City should be a member of the group, or... a member controlled by the group."
"After that, I investigated a lot of information about the Lawless City, and finally I found some interesting information." Duan Li continued, "I found out that the Lawless City actually existed in the real world, but this The city later disappeared from the eyes of people all over the world, but even if such a large city disappeared, it did not attract the attention of most people. Neither the country nor the people realized that a city had lost contact in front of them. But no one noticed."
"Then how do you know?"
Duan Lidao: "Although ordinary people didn't notice the disappearance of the city, some players noticed it, and some interested people also wanted to go to find the disappearing city, but they couldn't find a way to enter the city. What invisible power is completely isolated, it clearly exists in this world, but it seems to be isolated and put into another dimension."
Luo Jian suddenly understood that the only power in this world that has the ability to make the entire city disappear is probably only the secret room. The rumored 'Lawless City', but why did the Chamber of Secrets do this
In fact, the answer is also very simple.
The reason why the Chamber of Secrets makes the entire city disappear is because of the things in the city. The Chamber of Secrets wants to hide something in the city, and the things that can make the Chamber of Secrets hide at such a high price are probably already self-evident. .
The heart of the core of the Chamber of Secrets, that is, the 'lock', cannot be hidden by the will of the Chamber of Secrets into the space created by the Chamber of Secrets. The Chamber of Secrets can only put the lock in the real world, but the Chamber of Secrets will never be at ease in doing so, so Chamber of Secrets would be like a way to make its heart safe enough.
Lawless City is that safe place. The Chamber of Secrets erased the entire city from the world map, erasing all human beings' impression of this city, and everyone forgot that this city once existed. Then the Chamber of Secrets may have moved some hands and feet. It set up a place similar to an enchantment or a prohibition. It surrounded the entire Wulu City, so that although the city is still in the real world, there is no way or passage to enter in the real world. the city.
As for the people in Wulu City, they were all turned into puppets or puppets by the secret room. These people exist only to protect the heart of the Chamber of Secrets. The Chamber of Secrets is obviously easy to do such a thing, after all, the Chamber of Secrets has turned countless players into various monsters, stalkers, plotters, and even other strange things.
And at this moment in front of Luo Jian, Duan Li is also likely to be one of the people who was unfortunately involved in this incident. There is even a one in ten thousand probability that he miraculously entered the mysterious 'Lawless City' through a certain door.
But Duan Li's misfortune made the Chamber of Secrets notice Duan Li's existence, and Luo Jian could already foresee what kind of means the Chamber of Secrets would use to torture the poor boy.
"What did you encounter after you came out of Lawless City?"
When Duan Li heard Luo Jian's question, he suddenly showed Luo Jian the wound on his abdomen, and he said, "This is where I was cut by a passer-by for no reason while walking on the street."
"Passerby?"
"Yes, it's just a passer-by, an ordinary woman wearing a skirt and shopping with her companions, she took a knife from the butcher's stall next to her, and slashed at me, and the miracle is that even if this woman slashed It hurt me, but no one nearby noticed, no one called the police, no one looked at us, and the stall owner next to him who had his knife taken away didn't give any glances, as if this kind of thing happened on the street for granted of."
Luo Jian frowned and touched her chin when she heard the words, would the Chamber of Secrets use such despicable means? He originally thought that Duan Li would be killed by the will of the secret room, where the difficulty was instantly increased in the escape room.
"Don't doubt." Duan Li seemed to see Luo Jian's doubts, and he continued: "This kind of thing happens almost every day, no matter when and where, as long as I appear where there are people, someone will kill me with a knife, It's almost impossible to guard against... But I don't think those people really want to kill me, because they will say something to me."
"What did they say?"
"It's still the same sentence..." Duan Li sneered: "You can't be here."
