Xie Chi pursed his lips.
It is obviously not his style to conclude that Elysium does not exist based on just one painting. After all, art is too subjective. How to interpret it is a matter of opinion. He can understand that painting as the artist destroying himself for unrealistic fantasies, of course. Artists who can understand that art is higher than life sacrificed themselves in order to leave masterpieces through the ages. Both of them make sense, but they are not even the same.
It's just that the flash of thought is really terrifying.
The condition given by the app to complete the copy is to "escape from heaven", that is, to escape from hell. One of the methods is obvious - they did not commit any more crimes during their sentence, and they were released back to the world after serving their sentence. But this is extremely difficult. Even if he is unwilling to kill, the harsh objective environment will force him to kill. After all, the premise of escape is to live, and everything is meaningless without life.
And others will kill him, even for self-protection, he is destined to be guilty of sin.
He and his brother both killed people. He thought he was the only one left to enter Elysium, but now this painting...
Xie Chi raised his head to look at Xie Xinglan, and pointedly said: "The requirement to complete the copy is just 'escape from life'."
Xie Xinglan's expression froze. This request is very abstract and very abstract. He didn't say how to escape. The specific escape method was deduced by them based on the information obtained, but in fact, the app only allows them to escape. It is their artificial thinking. Narrow down to the entry "Entering Elysium".
The concept was shrunk unconsciously, and Xie Chi was backtracking now, and they realized this.
"But the stone tablet does say that there is a world of bliss on the first floor of the hot hell, and the world of bliss can be entered." Xie Xinglan paused, "In addition to the movie poster, the poster shows that there is a lotus flower on the first floor of the hot hell. Chi Wonderland."
Xie Chi lowered his eyes: "I'm thinking about this too, but there is actually a jellyfish-shaped mirage. The current clues are all clearly saying that the world of bliss exists, and you can escape from hell when you enter the world of bliss, but the meaning of this painting is a little bit. Subtle…”
Xie Chi spread out the painting and glanced again.
Even if there is a 1 in 10,000 possibility that there is a problem with Elysium, he has to start thinking about other ways out, but obviously, they must now proceed according to the original plan, because there is no other way, the spider silk ladder must be opened, it is a The essential.
Xie Xinglan didn't like to be tangled either: "We'll wait until the spider silk ladder is opened."
Xie Chi nodded, that's the only way it can be right now. This painting just makes them pay more attention.
"By the way, Brother Xie, I just wanted to understand the exact definition of 'death' in hell."
Because he couldn't call his brother indiscriminately, the title of Brother Xie fell gloriously on Xie Xinglan's head.
Xie Xinglan looked at him: "Huh?"
Xie Chi said as he walked, "In fact, everything that happens here can basically be found in the real world. The energy corresponding to money is obviously money. A person who has no money will not die immediately, only when there is hunger, water shortage, disease. When objective conditions come into play, people die."
"It's like just now, I only left a small amount of energy on my body, but I'm fine, I fell into the blood pool, I haven't felt the pain of corrosion, you gave me the energy again, what I lost is the 'money' ', not life."
"So the prisoner can actually live without energy at all, as long as he is lucky enough to be born on the top floor."
"A person will not die immediately after being killed. He will die completely after the harsh environment has worn out his energy and life. So our initial killing is not actually killing..."
"Robbery." Xie Xinglan twitched the corner of his mouth and said the more appropriate word.
"Yes," Xie Chi smiled, "energy is actually currency. In order to make our own life comfortable, we robbed others, robbed them of money, and they won't die, unless you choose to kill him at this time, It's money that kills first, then life."
Xie Xinglan understood, and said after a moment of silence, "Xiaochi, I think all of this is implying something."
Xie Chi looked at the sky and said, "Maybe after the spider silk ladder is opened, we will have the answer."
Coming out of the blood pool hell, Xie Xinglan killed Xie Chi for the second time, but this time Xie Chi did not drop.
Xie Chi sighed when he woke up. Their luck is not very good, the blood pool hell is the bottom, and the sword mountain hell is not below, it is randomly on the top floor of the hot hell. So their message-trafficking plan has to be implemented.
"So disappointed, it will take a long time."
Xie Xinglan glanced at him: "Your expression doesn't say that."
"… "
[Hahahahaha, Chi Zai's expression is clearly an excited expression about building an empire]
[I don't understand the plot, I can finally speak at this time]
…
In the next two days, Xie Xinglan was forced to open for business. Because Xie Chi was already at the bottom, and the ones who fell were the weakest ones, Xie Xinglan was not worried that they would pose a threat to Xie Chi.
In the eighth floor of the cold hell, no one wants to come here, but Xie Chi is extremely safe. And apart from Ren Ze, no one knew that Xie Xinglan had come all the way down to find Xie Chi. He only thought that he had found some clues and wanted to go to a certain floor to find out, so no one would catch Xie Chi. Threatening Xie Xinglan to hand over his energy.
…
So there is a strange scene in the horror movie that is constantly fighting and fighting.
The eighth floor of the most difficult hot hell to conquer, Xie Xinglan raised his head and said: "I will give you one-eighth of the energy, you pull me up, I promise not to kill you."
The two who were standing at the entrance of the hot eight caves shook their heads again and again: "One eighth is too few, we are risking our lives to trade with you..."
Xie Xinglan narrowed his eyes dangerously: "One-seventh."
"One-fifth, you killed us before, why should we believe you."
Xie Xinglan clenched his sword tightly.
Xie Chi felt that Xie Xinglan might be thinking about the possibility of throwing a sword to kill the two of them, so he hurriedly held his hand and calmly began to bargain.
…
After that...
[Hahahaha Xingxing calm down, put down the sword! You can't buy or sell by force. To build credit, you are a businessman, not a killer! ]
[The buyer shivers, the seller could wipe his neck with a sword at any moment]
[Hahahaha, my daughter-in-law is forced to come out and show her face]
[This fucking seller talks to me like this, I'll be scared to death]
[What a loss, I can only earn so much from selling news, and it takes so much to be pulled up by someone]
…
[My God, the stars will sit on the ground and start bargaining to see the price of others]
[Isn't this normal? After fighting, the upper layer basically has more energy than the lower layer, so the upper layer is more expensive.]
…
When he got to the floor where Ren Ze was, Xie Xinglan told Ren Ze about the spider silk ladder. Ren Ze was originally killed on the first floor, and the original cellmates were separated, but his previous cellmates were weak and were killed, so they lived on the same floor again by fate.
After Ren Ze heard what he said, he only hesitated for a moment, then went to his cellmate, and both completed the mutual check mark.
The opening progress of the spider silk ladder on the app has quickly reached 2/3.
"Have you found Xie Chi?" Ren Ze stepped aside and asked.
Xie Xinglan said lightly: "Well, by the way, don't say anything about Xie Chi and I."
"Of course I know."
"By the way, what kind of landform is Reyi?" Ren Ze was curious and asked casually.
Xie Xinglan stretched out his hand conditioned reflexively.
Ren Ze looked blank: "What?"
Xie Xinglan glanced at him: "I'll tell you the energy, this news is not expensive, just give me one-twentieth of your own energy, and for the sake of your acquaintance, I'll give you a 20% discount. , no more."
"Eight... 20% off?!" Ren Ze's face was full of disbelief. Is this still the generous Xie Xinglan from before? "
"Didn't you come to see me?"
"Not quite. Having you and your fellow inmates look at each other's signs is only part of it."
"then you… "
Xie Xinglan glanced at him: "Is there any news you want to buy? It's more expensive to buy a single one, I'll give you a 10% discount for two, a 20% discount for three, and a 30% discount for all three or more, because you have less energy, and you can buy all the spree. Just give me half of the energy, this is more cost-effective, I recommend buying it."
"???" Ren Ze's face was full of disbelief.
"But," Ren Ze's face turned purple, "but isn't all my energy given by you? You..."
"I regret it." Xie Xinglan said without any psychological pressure.
Ren Ze: "..." He suddenly realized how good Xie Chi was.
…
[Hahahahahaha oh my god]
[Ren Ze doubts life series]
["I regret it because my wife thinks I'm a loser"]
[This is stingy, hahahahahaha]
…
Keep going, everything becomes easier. The prisoners themselves mastered a lot of information, and when they compared with Xie Xinglan's, they found that there were overlapping parts, and immediately gave their energy generously. The more powerful it is, the more active and generous it is to dig out energy. For them, earning energy is simple and easy, the big deal is another robbery, but the news is hard to come by.
Among them, the most generous actors are the powerful groups of actors.
Because Xie Xinglan had violently suppressed him before, he basically stopped thinking about doing something to him.
Everything went according to plan.
[Have you noticed, he seems to be more physical than before... He seems to be making money]
[I am too rich to rely on it]
[Is the news so valuable? ]
[Fuck, after Xie Xinglan left, they started to learn from him, jumping down to kill and save energy]
[The primitive accumulation of capital! They got inspiration from Xie Xinglan! ]
[Information gathering, energy gathering, trough... ]
Some subtle changes are happening in hell.
Xie Xinglan was not surprised. Before he went out to do business, Xie Chi and him deduced possible changes, and everything at the moment was expected.
People's ability to imitate and learn is very powerful. Once a method is proven to be effective, countless people who think they can do it will imitate it and want to benefit from it.
Xie Chi said that once these people started to kill, he would have to go back, because disputes among the upper class would lead to a sharp increase in the lower class. After all, for the upper class, killing people would be effortless.
And this situation will not ease, it will only intensify.
The exploitation begins, sooner or later.
Xie Xinglan, as the first person, got the most benefit from it.
Xie Xinglan went to the top floor with the fastest speed, and started to go down again.
…
A day and a half later, Xie Chi was sleepy in the cave when he heard familiar footsteps.
Xie Xinglan said lazily, "I came back from the Silk Road."
Xie Chi smiled and glanced at him. The energy in his body was more than twice as much as before.
It is more troublesome to go up, and you need to spend money to buy it. Down because you have changed jobs, you can no longer use the rude method before, but in fact, there is no change in essence.
Xie Xinglan killed all the way before, and now he is killing all the way, but he will repay the energy he took away and give him a part of the reward.
Along the way, Xie Xinglan discovered that as long as they have sufficient energy, no one cares which floor they are on. Compared with the ordinary quality of life, most people are more afraid of lack of energy.
Xie Xinglan was just about to distribute most of the energy to Xie Chi, Xie Chi shook his head: "I'm going to change layers soon, it's too ostentatious, it's all gone after being killed, blood loss, I'm enough for now."
Xie Xinglan nodded and said, "Ren Ze and the inmates have completed mutual viewing, and the other people have a bad relationship, so I didn't even mention it. As for Su Qing, it's a pity that he doesn't have any inmates, so it's still a couple of pairs before they can be opened. Spider silk ladder, we have to wait for the next reincarnation."
Xie Chi understood.
It was completely bright, and Xie Chi and Xie Xinglan's cell phones also rang. The app prompts that the next reincarnation will take place in one minute. Xie Chi stood up, walked to Xie Xinglan, looked up at him slightly, then turned slightly to his ear, and said softly in his ear: "I will use Kappa to go to Daoshan, waiting for you. , an hour."
