The pace of the corpse rushing over, the blood gushing from his chest, the wounds that are constantly healing... Everything became slow.
Cui Zuojing adjusted his body in the air. He threw the boning knife behind him with his backhand. The long and narrow blade slanted into the floor. The boy's feet landed first. The huge force made him keep sliding backwards, and the soles and the floor rubbed violently. It made a sharp sound, and it was not until his heel touched the handle of the knife that he stopped the retreat.
The young man's figure seemed to be frozen at this moment, and the next moment, he suddenly stepped on the handle of the knife and rushed towards the corpse who was holding an iron rod and wanted to give him a fatal blow!
With the addition of time and power, all the movements of the opponent became as slow as a century old lady. Cui Zuojing rushed past him, and he only swung a knife and landed heavily behind the corpse.
Cui Zuojing stood up, sighed heavily, and threw away the blood from the blade.
He didn't look back. Behind him, the head of the corpse fell from his neck. His headless corpse stood there, and after a few seconds, it fell to the ground with a bang.
Cui Zuojing turned around, but unexpectedly a cold light flashed in front of him, he quickly retreated, the iron rod rubbed his cheek and flew past, leaving a blood line.
After losing his head and falling down, the ghoul is still alive!
The headless body crawled towards the young man, and just as he took a step, his body suddenly froze.
Rudolph thrust the knife in harder.
After confirming that the other party was indeed unable to get up, Rudolph hurried away from the terrifying corpse and asked, "Are you alright!"
"It's okay." Cui Zuojing was amazed at Rudolph's awakening in this short period of time. He didn't say much. He bent down and took out the sharp knife stuck in the corpse's heart and handed it back to Rudolph, "Let's go."
Rudolph held the bloody knife in his hand with a complicated expression.
Cui Zuojing accidentally saw a bloody handprint on the wall when he was flung away by the corpse thief just now.
"This way." The bloodstain appeared again, and the two walked hurriedly along. Rudolph turned his head and saw that the head of the corpse man seemed to be affected by some mysterious force, and he automatically moved towards the headless corpse. Go away.
It was so resurrected!
Then Rudolph thought that Cui Zuojing seemed to have chopped this person into pieces in the confinement room before, and the corpse robber could still catch up. He shuddered, and accelerated his pace and followed closely behind Cui Zuojing.
God knows what the hell this asylum is!
He actually stayed here safely for three years!
The bloodstains gradually became clear again, indicating the direction for the two of them. There was the sound of ghostly footsteps behind them. Cui Zuojing and Rudolph ran quickly. They ran up to the third floor, where the patients lived.
All the doors were locked, and behind each door lived various patients. The bloodstains disappeared at the end of the corridor, and there, there was a door.
"How come there is a door?!" Rudolph was shocked. This is the road he walks every day when he goes in and out of the ward and goes downstairs. He has long been familiar with the road. He is very sure that there should be a wall in that place!
"This is the exit." Cui Zuojing turned to him and said, "Only through this door can you truly escape from the madhouse, Rudolph, you are willing to abandon everything in the past, leave with me, and see what happens in this world. Is it the truth?"
"What?" Rudolph didn't understand what he meant for a while. Cui Zuojing saw the figure chasing after the corpse from the other side of the corridor. He no longer hesitated to cut the door lock with a knife, pushed the door and walked in, shouting to Rudolph. Said: "Follow me!"
The door was distorted and chaotic, and the moment Cui Zuojing stepped into it, the chaotic scene became clear. The door separates the two corridors, and the corridors of the insane asylum are dark and filthy with filthy walls, but this one is neat and lavish, with velvet carpets.
The soft light illuminated the entire corridor, but the light couldn't pass through the door to illuminate the other side, as if the door was an enchantment.
The moment Cui Zuojing walked in completely, the door suddenly closed without warning, but before Rudolph came in, Cui Zuojing put the kitchen knife between the door panel and the door frame with his backhand, and successfully stopped it the second it was closed.
Cui Zuojing opened the door abruptly, and he stretched out his hand to Rudolph: "Come in!"
Rudolph put his hand in his palm, full of sweat, Cui Zuojing tried hard to pull him over, leave the madhouse, and pull him into the next scene.
But just as light can't shine into a lunatic asylum, Rudolph slammed into the invisible barrier, and with a groan, he found in horror that he couldn't get in at all.
He could clearly see the bright corridor with velvet carpet on the other side of the door, and the slightly anxious face of the boy, but he couldn't take a step!
A mysterious force is stopping him!
what is this? !
At this time, the corpse had already arrived behind Rudolph, and he roared furiously, and the iron rod he swung was about to smash Rudolph's brains out!
Let go and let the door close and go straight to the next scene, or save Rudolph
Rudolph is just an ordinary NPC in the box, and if he returns to the lunatic asylum, he may not be able to come out through this door!
Sometimes it doesn't take even a second to make a decision, and time stagnated in an instant. Cui Zuojing strode back to the lunatic asylum. He grabbed the iron rod that was only ten centimeters from the back of Rudolph's head, and waved the knife to deal with the corpse again.
Then he cracked the lock on the door of the nurse's station next to him and pulled Rudolph into the room.
There was no one in the nurse's station. After closing the door, Cui Zuojing recovered time. Rudolph was completely speechless in shock. He remembered what Cui Zuojing said when they first tried each other out—
"What would you do if everything in this world was an illusion?"
It turned out that everything he had experienced, his forty years of life, those rich and glorious pasts, and the hardships he had endured in the three years in the lunatic asylum, were all false
This world... is fake
The moment he hit the unknown barrier in the door, he touched the edge of this world, and the memory that had been washed by kether finally returned to Rudolph's mind intermittently, and he remembered his name, Alden, Luke , Mila Yang, Ji Haobin, Chen Meng... These are all his names.
These are all "he".
He had countless identities, countless pasts, and countless endings, but never had a future.
Rudolph opened his mouth, and his throat was almost speechless: "… what the hell is this place?"
"We call this place a 'box'. Each box is a small space that exists alone. I need to travel among many boxes to complete my task." Cui Zuojing explained softly, "And you are an NPC, not a The player characters are programmed to work with those who enter the box to complete tasks."
"So what I've been through, it's all fake, right?" Rudolph's voice trembled. "Even me is fake? You want to take me out of this place, but because I'm not with you. Same, so you can go, but I can't?"
"Yes."
The night was desolate, and even the night crow stopped calling.
"Let me get out of here."
After a long time, Rudolph seemed to calm down, no one knew what kind of struggle he went through in his heart, he looked at Cui Zuojing with tears in his eyes, and said hoarsely, "This is what I have been working hard for for three years. ."
"Okay." Cui Zuojing said, "I said, I will do my best to help you leave."
"Will it hurt?"
"Trust me, my technique is very good. I hope you will have a good life when I see you next time."
The teenager stood up and gave Rudolph a big hug.
The other party also hugged him tightly. Rudolph's eyes widened, as if he wanted to take a last look at the world that had given him a lot of pain. Is his mother still waiting for him to escape from the madhouse and go home
The tip of the knife sank into the back of his head instantly.
The knife directly damaged Rudolph's nervous system. He lost all sense of his entire body in an instant, and then the knife was pulled out, piercing the heart from behind without error.
The blood was gushing out, hot.
Just like Rudolph is a real, no different from him.
Cui Zuojing took a step back and released Rudolph's body.
Placing the other party on the nurse's bed, Cui Zuojing forced his eyelids to close, finally glanced at Rudolph, and turned away decisively.
Outside the door, the corpse has been resurrected again.
Cui Zuojing directly delayed the time and did not waste any more energy on this thing. He pushed open the door at the end of the corridor and found that it was still connected to the other side.
Great, Cui Zuojing breathed a sigh of relief and walked in.
The door slams behind him, banging off the connection between the two scenes, and this time, he can never go back to the madhouse.
[Quest Update: Find Yourself]
What kind of strange mission is this... Cui Zuojing complained, but he was a little relieved. Now he can finally be sure that he has not traveled outside the box plot.
I don't know if I can find Dong Zheng and others this time.
To calm down the inevitable low mood, Cui Zuojing took a deep breath, no longer thinking about Rudolph who had been "released" from the box, he slowly walked forward, this looks like a European-style hotel, the velvet carpet will make the sound of footsteps Absorption, a quiet space without air circulation can easily give people a sense of depression and fear, and it is also very easy to cause people's claustrophobia.
The corridor is not too long. There are only five rooms in total. It is completely closed.
Cui Zuojing leaned in to take a closer look. He found a small exposed corner on the edge of the frame. He pinched it and pulled it out to find that it was a note. The notes were light brown, as if they had been hurriedly written with an eyebrow pencil. Still pretty.
[vincent campbell]
This should be a personal name, translated as Vincent Campbell.
Cui Zuojing put away the note, and at this moment, he suddenly felt a heat wave rolling up from behind him, almost burning the tiny hairs on the back of his neck.
The teenager turned around and suddenly found that the corridor had changed for some time.
A fire engulfed everything in an instant. After burning, the luxurious carpets turned into black pieces and soot, the wallpaper peeled off in large areas, revealing the dark walls behind, the doors were scorched and deformed, and the ceiling was a mess. Even the chandelier exploded directly, leaving glass fragments all over the floor, melted by high temperature, and condensed into different shapes after cooling.
Cui Zuojing was not surprised. He stood there and waited for a while to make sure that nothing else had happened. The young man turned around and the painting was still hanging on the wall, but there was only one frame left. When he touched it with his hand, The charred half is directly smashed into powder.
