Yan Wei was noncommittal.
He gave up the method of seeking stability rather than victory, and instead took risks to make the man in black stronger and more fearless. Perhaps in Xu Miaomiao's eyes, his choice was really crazy. But he himself didn't think he was crazy.
On the contrary, he is very calm at the moment.
He looked at the puppet attached to the black-robed man who was nailed to death by Yan Mingguang and Lin Zhen again, thinking about the clues and possible guesses of the entire dungeon so far.
The next moment, another villain showed the black-robed man's smile.
The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the players had no choice but to form a circle on the observatory to resist the swarming puppets, no longer caring about the idea of catching Yan Wei to get points. Even though Yu Hua had called Yan Wei's idea before, under Yan Wei's signal, Yan Mingguang and the others would still give Yu Hua and the others a helping hand.
After all, in the current situation, the result of the qualifying match is already determined, and getting out alive has become a more important thing.
The good puppet Yan Wei was still standing in front, and when Yan Mingguang turned around and swung his whip, the evil puppet that the black-robed man was attached to suddenly rushed towards the good puppet Yan Wei, and his sharp fingertips only took the heart of the good puppet Yan Wei . But the moment the fingertip was about to pierce the chest of the good puppet Yanwei, it suddenly stopped, and could no longer move forward.
In this moment, Yan Mingguang had already turned around, and in a blink of an eye the whip smashed the evil puppet's body into pieces.
The voice of the man in black immediately came from another villain: "Why? I can't kill you?"
The good puppet Yan Wei smiled and said: "You guess."
Before the projection of the competitive dungeon.
All players who have watched this competitive dungeon from beginning to end know, unless there is something now? The organization is wiped out, otherwise, the ranking outcome of the competitive dungeon has been decided. But almost none of them left the scene, and instead watched more seriously than before.
Qixing this time? The leader looked at Xue Wan, who was still fighting with the villains alone in another part of the castle, and sighed: "Xuanniao this time? It's crazy enough, our loss is not wronged. This is the way to break the game It's too extreme..."
The other player was obviously not happy that Yan Wei took their first place, so he sneered: "Yeah? I don't know if it's playing with fire or not. In the end, the bamboo basket fetched water in vain, and I lost my life."
"Although it's a bit embarrassing to say that, but I think..." this person shook his head, "A person who can do this kind of thing should not play with fire and guns. It's just that this method is really extreme, and he seems to be in a hurry Seeking success, maybe I want the benefits of this dungeon. I have only heard of such a crazy gameplay before. If it is not the super high-level person, those who say that he is likely to die on the top floor, I almost thought that Yan Wei was the apprentice who brought him out by hand."
"How does Xuanniao do this? The desperate fights are all extreme lunatics. Their leader who should be dead is Lin Qing, his younger brother Lin Zhen is, and so is this newcomer Yan Wei."
"It's a pity that our head and Lin Qing have already entered the dungeon, otherwise we can really see if this is the apprentice that Xuanniao took before he disappeared."
"Impossible, right? The time is not right, that Xuanniao has long since disappeared."
"..."
Under the approach of the evil puppet, the players on the observatory have shrunk by one circle after another.
Xu Miaomiao was not a player who was good at fighting, so she simply dodged and hid behind Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou after a few back and forth. She stood at the innermost side with my self, Yan Wei, her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
"Are you thinking about how to break the situation?" Yan Wei asked her, "Why, don't you believe me?"
Xu Miaomiao just said: "I only believe in myself, I just cooperate with you, I don't rely on you."
"Little sister is quite thoughtful."
Yan Wei ignored her.
Xu Miaomiao may have his own ideas, and he also has his own ideas.
This puppet castle was built by the black-robed man who is proficient in puppet art. His most exquisite skills are condensed here, and the puppet he is proud of is also stored here. Surrounded by a labyrinth on the outside of the castle, man-eating crows hover above the maze, and only guests who reach the castle safely before midnight can enter the castle alive.
The man in black—maybe her name is Ace. She likes to play with human nature, hide among puppets, and like to make puppets of incoming guests.
She's not a normal "person", she's into destruction, and also? into games.
So she formulated the rules of the game, that is, the rules of this competitive dungeon. While she was the referee, in order to achieve what she said was fair, she was also a participant in the game, and she also had the points for catching the puppets, which is how Yan Wei got the highest points.
But now, because they broke the rules of the game, the black-robed man felt that the fairness had been violated, ended the game early, and attacked all the players present indiscriminately.
From the beginning to the end, the players have always thought that the three indispensable elements of "the man in black robe, the coin, and the meat grinder" are all pretense. Coins are not necessary, and the meat grinder can't kill the black-robed man. These are just the black-robed man's tricks. She stayed at the observatory at the beginning, easily getting every point, and then pretended to be the mother of the man in black, "inducing" Yan Wei and others to throw her into the meat grinder, letting her escape from her dying body.
She just wants to kill all the players now and turn them into her collection. But Yan Wei needs to keep Xuanniao's first place, and end all of this, and the exchange puppet breaks the game and leaves.
Yan Mingguang mentioned it to him before? The puppet to be exchanged at the end of the dungeon is his own good puppet, and the exchange is not done with the man in black, but with Lou after the dungeon is over. From the beginning of the castle, where the real and the fake are intertwined inside and outside, to the point where the black-robed man can never be killed, the way to end all this is obviously a way to break the situation.
Either? Kill all the evil puppets, or? Kill the soul of this unkillable black-robed man.
Killing all the evil puppets is not necessarily feasible, not to mention whether the accumulation of evil puppets in the past few days will drag them to death, even if they really kill the evil puppets, the black-robed man may not necessarily die. The words of the man in black are not necessarily credible. What if it is just a cover? What if the black-robed man continues to attach to the good puppet after the evil puppet dies? So what can they do, they can't kill themselves, can they
Then there is only one way left - to kill the man in black.
But the man in black cannot be killed.
No, there must be something? The method—
Suddenly there was a loud noise in front of him, Yan Wei's thoughts were interrupted, he raised his eyes, and saw Lin Zhen, who was originally in front of him, was suddenly surrounded by Yan Mingguang's long whip and swung towards him.
Yan Mingguang's voice was calm and calm: "He was seriously injured and was almost caught by the puppet. I will throw him in first."
Lin Zhen was thrown in by Yan Mingguang, and Yu Feizhou hurriedly chased after him. The piece that Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou were in charge of originally became a gap, and five or six puppets rushed in in an instant.
Xu Miaomiao was thinking about it, but when she saw those puppets rushing, she had to pick up her long staff to block the puppets again.
She said angrily, "Are you reliable or not?"
The good puppet Yan Wei turned around and held up the moon wheel to cooperate with Xu Miaomiao, shouting: "Thank you!"
Xu Miaomiao: "..."
I, Yan Wei, helped Lin Zhen who was beside me, let him lean against the edge of the meat grinder, and took a look at Lin Zhen's injuries by the way.
Lin Zhen's face completely lost all color, and it seemed that he had spat out a big mouthful of blood just now, with blood foam all over his lips. He clearly couldn't see any injuries on his body, but he seemed to have suffered something? It was like a serious injury, and he leaned weakly all over his body.
Yan Wei frowned: "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so seriously injured?"
Although he was thinking just now, he was also staring at the surroundings with his perception. Lin Zhen had never been approached by the evil puppet from the beginning to the end. The injury came too suddenly, and Yan Mingguang threw him in the next moment.
Lin Zhen took a breath, and seemed to be recovering. He came a little bit, cursed weakly, and said, "...how did you lose the chain again? It was me."
The two Yu Feizhou squatted down beside him and Yan Wei, picked up the dagger and said in unison: "Let me help you move it first."
He raised the dagger, but there was a sudden stop in his movements.
Yan Wei also noticed something was wrong.
— Lin Zhen was not injured, how did Yu Feizhou transfer
The surrounding situation became even worse at this moment. There were a few less people on their side, and even though Xu Miaomiao and the kind puppet Yanwei supported them a little, the gap was opened, and in an instant more than half of the observatory was filled with puppets.
The man in black was among the villains, and his hoarse laughter resounded under the glass dome of the observatory.
"I can't figure it out!" Xu Miaomiao said, "Yan Wei, if you can't figure it out, I'll kill you first!"
The good puppet Yan Wei said: "Trust me."
In front of the meat grinder in the center, Lin Zhen slowly raised his hand, grabbed the wrist of a Yu Feizhou beside him, and pulled his dagger away. He also laughed, and said slowly: "...Don't try, you can't transfer my injury, you can't find the wound. The wound is not on me at all, it is my brother who was injured in the dungeon."
Yan Wei and Yu Feizhou were stunned at the same time, while Yan Mingguang paused, and glanced at Lin Zhen without any surprise, then withdrew his gaze and continued to fight against the evil puppets.
In a panic, Yan Wei noticed Yan Mingguang's insignificant pause—did Yan Mingguang have reserved for this moment a long time ago, that's why he did this? Did he find out that Lin Zhen had a problem in time
In front of him, Lin Zhen continued: "My brother transferred the injury to me. In fact, our two skills are not exactly the same. I can borrow his ability, and he can..."
Borrowing Lin Zhen's life.
Yan Weiming knew that Lin Qing might be his friend who had been fighting side by side since the first time he climbed the building, so at this moment, he couldn't help bursting into anger.
They entered the dungeon earlier than Lin Qing, wouldn't Lin Qing think that they were also in the nick of time? The black-robed man and the evil puppet were right beside him, and he took a wrong step. If Yan Mingguang hadn't reacted so quickly, Lin Zhen might have been torn apart by the evil puppet in an instant due to the serious injury he was caught off guard.
Lin Qing is already a player in the 80s, don't you know
Even though Lin Qing might be in a more critical situation, this act of treating Lin Zhen as a spare life still made Yan Wei furious.
Lin Zhen didn't care, just glanced at the bewildered Yu Feizhou, raised his hand, wiped off the blood froth around his mouth, and said softly, "Why are you so dazed? I thought you knew... After all... After all, I Brother asked you to take care of me at the beginning, just to let you ensure my safety, so that he can use it when he needs it, lest I die if I don’t need it.”
"So have you figured out how to deal with this ghost thing?"
It was Yan Wei who asked this question.
Yan Wei shook his head: "Had a clue, I almost caught it just now."
Lin Zhen took a mouthful of the medicine that Yu Feizhou sent, and tried to get up with his hands: "Then think about it quickly, Yu Feizhou and I will go and support for a while."
Yu Feizhou immediately held him down: "You stay here with Yan Wei, I'll just go."
"Don't..." Lin Zhen coughed, and hurriedly said, "Don't, what will the little pet figure out at that time, I'm still... still lying here, wouldn't that be too embarrassing? Tsk, then I'm here The contribution of this dungeon, isn't it...cough...isn't it just breaking the glass and catching a stupid crow?"
Yan Wei's expression suddenly paused, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his eyes. He blinked in a daze, and muttered softly with an insignificant voice: "...to catch crows?"
Yu Feizhou's gaze was entirely on Lin Zhen. He frowned: "But you are really not suitable for shooting."
All around, the evil puppets are getting closer and closer. A few weak players couldn't hold on, and their hearts were instantly scratched by the puppets. The good puppets corresponding to the dead self also turned into evil puppets at that moment.
There are more and more villains, and they are getting closer, and the rampant laughter of the black-robed man is getting louder and louder.
Yan Wei slowly raised his head to look at the glass dome above his head.
Good and evil puppets, big and small castles, truth and lies.
Everything here has a corresponding side.
A castle stands in the maze, and a small maze is hidden in the castle, and a small castle is hidden in the small maze; the castle is a coin, and inside the coin is a terrain with a crow pattern. The players in the terrain hold coins, and the coins are painted Each player has a corresponding good and evil puppet, between the intertwined truth and falsehood, there are also hidden dreams of reality and illusion...
These are all in one-to-one correspondence, positive and negative, and appear in pairs.
Apart from…
Yan Wei stood up slowly, raised her eyes and looked beyond the glass dome.
The stars and the moon hang high in the night sky, and crows hover above the castle and the maze, flying over from time to time? This is the only dome covered by a large piece of glass. The moonlight shines, and the crows flying over block the scattered light and shadow, casting a large scattered long shadow. The chaotic sounds of fighting and the laughter of the man in black were vaguely mixed with the crowing of crows outside the dome, which entered the heart dumbly and weakly.
Following the direction of Yan Wei's gaze, Yan Mingguang and the good puppet Yan Wei looked at the dome...outside at the same time.
Yan Wei opened his mouth slowly, and together with Yan Mingguang and the good puppet Yan Wei said: "The crow."
Everything is one-to-one correspondence, pros and cons, and pairs.
Except crows.
The small maze inside the castle has no crows. In other words, there was no more crows in the castle? No crows appeared.
At this moment, without Yan Wei saying anything, Yan Mingguang had already taken a few steps forward, picked up the longbow that Lin Zhen had placed by his side and said, "Borrow it."
During Lin Zhen's break, he still didn't forget to say: "...you understand again."
The next moment, Yan Mingguang fully drew the bowstring, and ten long arrows appeared on the longbow. The moment the long arrow let go, it headed towards all directions of the dome, and shot through the dome in an instant!
The rampant laughter of the man in black stopped suddenly.
The glass shattered, and Yan Wei, the self, and Yan Wei, the good puppet, held up the moon wheel at the same time. The moon wheel emitted a faint bright white light, creating a separate space beside those injured or blood-stained players, isolating the bloody smell emanating from them.
As a large piece of glass fell, the crow hovering on the dome suddenly turned its direction, spread its wings, and flew into the observatory in an instant!
Swarms of crows poured from the cracked glass dome like black water, crashed into the barriers erected by Yan Wei, and the black current bypassed all the players, heading in the same direction.
——That is the direction where the evil puppet attached by the man in black is.
Her hoarse and gloomy voice let out a heart-piercing roar: "How do you know! How do you-ahhh!!!"
That was the same scream as the players who died under the crows in the jungle maze on the first night of the dungeon.
A large number of crows poured down, and the black current was intertwined with hoarse cries, which mixed with the tearing screams, torturing people's eardrums.
But? After a while, the flesh and blood of that evil puppet was torn clean, and there were bloodstains spread on the ground.
But this time, there was no other black-robed man's voice, and Lou's notification sound was used instead.
[Congratulations to the player for solving the final puzzle of the puppet castle, ending the tragedy of the puppet castle, and getting the following rewards: … ]
It didn't take long before it took a sharp turn, but at this moment it turned around? The dungeon ended in the tide of black crows. Everyone was taken aback, Xu Miaomiao was dumbfounded.
Lin Zhen was helped up by Yu Feizhou, with a pale face, he still joked: "Little pet sister, we are very reliable."
"Being eaten by crows is complete death... how did you think of it?"
Right in front of him, the black crow devoured the black-robed man, and all those evil puppets lost control and stood there blankly, letting the black crow devour them. Some crows hit the barrier cut by the moon, Yan Wei turned pale, and said in a deep voice, "Why? Only the observatory is made of glass? This game is fair."
The game starts when the player enters the jungle maze, and the crow is also the executor of the game. The crow is fair to all game participants. They cannibalize players, and naturally they cannibalize people in black robes as well.
But breaking the glass, if the crow hadn't attacked the man in black, it would have made things worse for them who were already fighting with the villains. To break the glass, you have to be 100% sure.
The crow must be the key to breaking the game.
In order to break the nested situation where true and false are intertwined, good and evil are relatively nested inside and outside, the only way is to find the only thing that is not right in the relative. In this dungeon, all the images, only the crow did not appear repeatedly. They only hovered around the outside of the castle, and the black-robed men in the castle couldn't touch them at all.
Why? To keep the crows completely out
Crows will gnaw on injured players, wouldn't putting them in would add more chaos and bloodshed
Back in the small maze, when the crow that Lin Zhen caught alone appeared, the woman was speechless on the spot, not because of Yan Weiliu's first move, but because of the sudden appearance of the crow. The game is fair, the players are afraid of crows, and so are the men in black. She can even enter the meat grinder at will, can't kill, what? She is not afraid, but she is only afraid of crows. There can only be one reason.
Raven restrains her undeath.
The answer was told to them as early as the moment the copy started.
— "He is a man of unknown birth."
——"His mother gave birth to him in the wilderness, and was unconscious in the jungle maze due to excessive blood loss. The blood stained the land, and the surrounding vegetation corroded. His mother was devoured by crows and died. But he died in the grass For three days he wept, and the crows cried out for him, and the forest withered for him."
The birth is unknown, and the man in black has no mother at all. This story is just a broken image, symbolizing the man in black who calls himself "Ace's mother".
"Being devoured by crows to death" is the way to break the situation.
In front of the eyes, an invisible black staircase spread down from the starry night, passed through the broken glass dome, and extended to the players.
All players hurried up the ladder.
Seeing a figure disappear above the long black steps, Yan Wei turned to look at Yan Mingguang.
"I walked up there and everything was different," he said.
"I'll wait for you in the world inside the building."
Yan Wei thought about the memory for so long, but suddenly he didn't want to move forward. He said, "I went upstairs before, is it the same as now?"
"Exactly the same."
"What was my previous purpose??"
"Go up and you will know."
"But I want to hear from you. Now my goal is to climb the stairs. Thinking about the past, I don't seem to have much purpose. Is it because my previous goal failed?"
In the shadow of crows under the moonlight, Yan Mingguang paused.
"You want to destroy the order of the building, so that all this no longer exists."
But the building is still fine now, keeping everything running.
Yan Wei spread his hands: "It seems that I have failed."
There was no one around them at all. Amidst the strong smell of blood, the moonlight shone, and black crows lingered around, bumping against the sides of Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang.
Yan Wei walked in front of Yan Mingguang, raised his chin lightly.
Just as his lips touched Yan Mingguang's chin, the man seemed to froze for a moment, and the next moment he pulled his shoulders uncontrollably, pulling him into his arms.
This time the kiss was fierce and quick.
Yan Wei only felt the warmth of this man, but before he could react, Yan Mingguang released him restrainedly, took a step back and said, "Go up."
Yan Wei raised his hand subconsciously, and lightly touched the slightly moist corner of his mouth with his fingertips, and the tips of his ears suddenly turned red.
He blushed and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go up, go to my memory and see if you were such a hypocrite when you were in bed, Mr. Yan."
He turned around, and under the watchful eyes of Yan Mingguang, he stepped on the long black steps without hesitation.
