"Spirit."
The back of the knife hanging on his waist was placed horizontally on his legs, and the deceased Ling who sat down spoke calmly.
"The alienation curse itself is a kind of mental pollution. The tougher the spirit, the longer it can persist in the face of the curse. You can try to increase the intelligence attribute, which is related to the spiritual aspect."
"Adding points increases intelligence...other than this?"
He wiped his face haphazardly with a towel, and there was obvious movement in Yanhuo Fengyue.
"Then you need to improve your mental resistance, so that the mountain can collapse without changing color. Let's do this. I recommend you to search for a video online and download it to see when you can do it while eating. If you watch that video without changing your mind, your mental resistance will be increased."
Bai Zhi made a very thoughtful suggestion.
"The name of the video is The Most Disturbed Man in the World. Please tell me your thoughts after watching it."
"Uh... Horror video? I'm not timid, I think..."
"Let's wait until you finish reading. It's better to get down to business now."
After curling his lips, Bai Zhi also sat down with a look of emotion on his face.
"Speaking of which, Squint Eyes is indeed a monster. That guy from the March Clan is so decisive. He wants to catch us all in one fell swoop, leaving no chance for me to make a comeback and the rhythm of time... This guy is really a rogue."
"What happened?"
Secretly writing down the name of the video, Yanhuo Fengyue couldn't help but ask.
"It's very simple, a crazy experiment, a daring ritual, a poor victim, and a sad ending."
Bai Zhi glanced at the other party with a noncommittal expression.
"There was once a crazy couple who wanted to complete a great ritual, so they chose their daughter and made her a test subject in their crazy experiment... Do you know Fullmetal Alchemist?"
"Uh... I know."
"Just like a crazy guy made his daughter and a dog into a synthetic beast, this crazy couple also turned their daughter into an inhuman existence."
Lifting his head and looking upward, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"[Doll Curse] and [Alienation Curse], these are the two core key factors that linger in this manor. Everything that ever happened in this manor revolved around these two curses. .”
"Are they crazy for actively turning their own daughters into monsters?"
Alone felt that recalling a certain "big brother", Yanhuo Fengyue couldn't help but cursed.
"It's not exactly a monster, but an inhuman existence... It should be said that it is a special alien between a monster and a human being."
Bai Zhi shook his head.
"They were probably trying to see if there was any way for humans to gain the power to use monsters, and their daughter was their experiment, but they failed."
"… Anna, the puppet master outside?"
Yanhuo Fengyue was slightly stunned.
"Judging from Anna's situation, it should be considered a success...?"
"No, they failed. I only know one weird story about being able to maintain a complete human consciousness. It is the only one, and it is an existence that cannot be copied... Maybe there should be others?"
Bai Zhi reached out and touched his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"All in all, let me make a summary. This is a black-hearted parent who tried to gain stronger power to sacrifice his daughter, but failed and caused Liangliang, which also turned his castle into a monster. The story. Of course, due to the lack of clues, this kind of thing can be interpreted in many ways."
"Is there any other interpretation of this?"
"Of course, for example, the reason why those black-hearted parents did this is just to sacrifice their daughter to control the spread of the curse. As the saying goes, sacrifice me and make millions of families happy, and use the [Doll Curse] to convert the [Alienation Curse] ] is firmly controlled within the scope of Rose Manor and cannot spread any further, thereby saving more people."
Bai Zhi spread his hands with a look of indifference on his face.
"It's just that although their plan was successful, the [Doll Curse] and the [Alienation Curse] were indeed firmly controlled within the scope of Rose Manor and could not spread. However, Anna, as the victim, will also be bound to the Rose Manor forever. Here, while tasting the taste of loneliness alone, I replay the past over and over again in my own spiritual world... What do you think, do you think my interpretation makes sense?"
"Which one of the two is correct?"
The deceased Zero suddenly asked.
"I don't know, who knows? Besides, is there any point in worrying about this now? It's pointless."
Bai Zhi curled his lips.
"Everything has happened. These are just things that have happened in the past. Does the truth matter so much?"
"So the bloody tentacle riot that happened before..."
Yanhuo Fengyue was suddenly stunned.
"Yes, the ceremony started early."
Bai Zhi raised his head and looked up, squinting his eyes.
"Just like there are people who are completely immune to the T virus, I think Anna herself should also be immune to the [Doll Curse]. When these two curses converge on Anna's body alone, at that time Maybe it’s…”
"So why are we still here now? Hurry up and save her!!"
Before Bai Zhi could finish his words, Yanhuo Fengyue stood up excitedly.
"How can you just watch something like this..."
"Didn't you understand what I said? This is what happened in the past."
Lifting his head and looking directly into the other person's eyes, Bai Zhi frowned slightly.
"This is Anna's spiritual world. It's the same whether it's outside or inside. So what if we can save Anna now?"
"What happened has happened and cannot be changed no matter what."
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 288 Chapter 284 The fifth victim, what must be done
A dull sound came from above through the soil layer, and sparse sounds were heard constantly. They were the sounds made by tentacles sliding on the ground.
"...So what are we going to do now? Are we going to wait here forever?"
After a moment of silence, Yanhuo Fengyue sat back down again with some dejection.
"Although I am not familiar with the other three people who died before, Feng Xizhigu is a good person. If he hadn't saved us before, he wouldn't have been rolled out of the window by those tentacles."
"So I don't understand why he didn't come to me on his own initiative? If we had united in advance... "
"Because you look more like a player from another world than Sanzuki."
Interrupting Bai Zhi's words, Yanhuo Fengyue spoke quietly.
"The strange story about Rose Manor comes from another world, but you are so familiar with Anna, and you are also called His Royal Highness. Among all players, you are obviously much more suspicious than the March family... He has been here before Watch out for you.”
Bai Zhi: "..."
Speaking of which... it seems, right? No wonder I always felt like he was targeting me...
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
With a sigh, Yanhuo Fengyue took out a lollipop from his pocket, peeled it and put it in his mouth.
"Obviously, the ceremony should not start until evening, but why is it started early now?"
"Because we're all set up."
Bai Zhi felt sorry for Feng Xizhi's bones for half a second before he spoke.
"From the time I found that notebook in the library, that guy has been secretly planning it, one after another, one after another. Don't underestimate these players from another world. They are all from the same world after all. In the end, the elites are all masters among masters. If you underestimate them too much, you will suffer a loss."
"Plan...?"
"I have already talked about the layout before, and I don't want to repeat it again, so I will focus on the next one."
After a moment of pondering, Bai Zhi spoke.
"Because of the super combat power displayed by Dead Zero, coupled with my presence, the balance of victory and defeat has actually tilted, so if I were the other party, I would not give you any more time. There is a chance to search for clues and even turn the tables. So in this case, I will adopt two plans. One is to lure the deceased Zero to kill him, so that other people will not be able to cause too much trouble. If the deceased Zero If you are not lured over, then take the second plan and fast forward directly to overturning the table... When you fought him, did he act like he was evenly matched?"
"Uh... it seems like he's bleeding all over his body..."
After thinking about it for a while, Yanhuo Fengyue looked slightly uncertain.
"That's right, he lied to you. Even if he was restricted, there was absolutely no way he would be so embarrassed. This old scumbag deliberately let you go."
Bai Zhi curled his lips.
"Then, our side was already enough to give the two bosses a headache, and then suddenly there were two more new troops. In this case, in order to not interrupt the evening ceremony, they would naturally obey That old bastard suggested starting the ceremony in advance, otherwise why would he have saved Catherine before? He was full after eating... "
"So he did it on purpose... Wait, you knew he would do this at that time?"
Everyone was in a daze after hearing this, and Yanhuo Fengyue was a little confused.
"Nonsense, otherwise why would I come outside the castle? Isn't it just to find a way out for you?"
Bai Zhi rolled his eyes and spoke.
"Because my sanity is a billion points higher than all of yours, I can move freely around the outside of the castle, so I found a wooden stick, threw a stone, and successfully found this hidden underground shelter."
"...Can you stop saying it like it's a joke?"
"How much trouble would it take to find a shelter that might have existed here? It's just a matter of simple probability."
"Yes, yes, so you successfully found this place by observing the changes in soil quality, the sparsity of footprints, and the growth of nearby plants, right?"
Yanhuo Fengyue rolled her eyes slightly speechlessly.
"There's no need to show off like this, I know you..."
"No, I rely on skills."
"..."
"Okay, the time for solving puzzles is over. You all need to recover your status first. After the movement outside stops, we will enter the real core area."
After yawning and putting one hand on the ground to support his head, Bai Zhi also lay down against the rock wall.
"The core area may be more dangerous. It's better for you to wait and stay here. Then I will be with the deceased Zero... Wait a minute, what happened to your feet?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally glanced at the fireworks and wind and moon, and Bai Zhi sat up suddenly.
"Feet? Can I have... dolls on my feet?"
After lowering his head and taking a look, Yanhuo Fengyue suddenly froze there, and his whole face became stiff involuntarily.
"Eat this!!"
Bai Zhi came to the other party in a few steps without saying anything to him. He simply and roughly stuffed the [frozen ice cream] that the other party had given him as a thank you gift into the other party's mouth. However, despite his speed, Very quickly, but in just this moment, Yanhuo Yueyue's lower body had turned into a puppet.
"Ahem... are you going to choke me to death!? Put such a big thing directly into your mouth!?"
Holding her neck, Yanhuo Fengyue raised her head and glared at Bai Zhi after coughing violently.
"Next time, do you want me to try it instead? Something so thick can be so rough..."
"When did it happen? Why did the [Doll Curse] break out on you?"
He didn't bother too much with the other party on this matter. He knelt down and looked at the lower body of the other party that had completely turned into a doll. Bai Zhi frowned fiercely.
"Who knows... But it doesn't matter, I have invincible skills!!"
Asking for trouble, he waved his hand, Yan Huo Fengyue's face was full of confidence.
"As long as I hold my head and defend myself, the curse will also... eh?"
After trying it for a while, Yanhuo Fengyue sadly discovered that her half-length doll body could not support her standard defensive action of holding her head and squatting in defense...
"how?"
Bai Zhi frowned as he looked at the change of expression on Yanhuo Fengyue's face in front of him.
"...Okay, it looks like I'm going to get cold."
Sighing, he stretched out his hand and pinched the doll-like body of his unconscious lower body. Yan Huo Fengyue had a look of despair on his face.
"Perhaps when I helped Shanhaitiandi remove the tentacles on my body, I accidentally triggered some kind of taboo that caused the doll curse in my body to riot. It seems that I am really going to get cold... If I get really cold, I I want to ask you two things."
"… What's up?"
Bai Zhi turned around and glanced at Shanhaitiandi, who was still in a coma and had not woken up, and asked.
"It's just death. I've already been mentally prepared for it. After all, no one in this profession of a player can die well... Well, this is the address of where I live. If I turn into a doll by then, I'll really die. If you can't change it back anyway, please rush to this place, the key is under the carpet at the door."
While saying this, Yanhuo Fengyue took out a pre-written card from his backpack and put it in Bai Zhi's hand.
"Is there something you need me to bring to your family?"
After taking the card and looking at it, Bai Zhi spoke in a deep voice.
