"Fortunately, I am strong enough. After receiving the treatment, I quickly walked out of the shadow he brought to me..." The woman in blue went on chattering, "And managed to have a strong and sunny smile, smiling to live in the dungeon …”
"And what's even more gratifying is that that person no longer exists in the dungeon. It is estimated that there will be no more chances of fraudulent resurrection in the future. Thinking of this, my heart is filled with sunshine." Blue The woman in clothes said with a smile on her face, "Although I feel that I missed the opportunity to avenge him, it's a pity..."
Qiu Ran: "...don't use such strange quantifiers."
For some reason, the more she walked with this person, the more she felt that this person's temperament was somewhat dangerous.
This kind of danger is an intuitive perception—Qiu Ran knows that her IQ is not good, so she especially believes in her intuition.
... Besides, even if she didn't have intuition, she still felt that a person who could laugh and say that his joints were smashed was already perverted enough.
... But it's hard to judge, whether the person who laughs and knocks other people's joints with a hammer accompanied by Beethoven's symphony is more perverted, or the person who can tell people about this past with a smile many years later is more perverted.
"We seem to have arrived somewhere." The woman in blue said.
She brushed aside a clump of trees and whistled when she saw the street in front of her.
"Look at the map." She leaned over to look at the map in Qiu Ran's hand, and frowned, "Huh? This doesn't seem to be the kingdom of the Mirror Witch..."
It is a foggy and humid street with an obvious British style.
A carriage passed by in the street, and the wheels rolled on the stone bricks, making a "da da" sound. A few hundred meters away, they could hear the chill and damp sound.
until-
"what!!!"
The woman's miserable wailing sounded in the distance. At the moment the sound sounded, several people subconsciously buried themselves in the grass.
The screams lasted for a while, and the sound seemed to seep blood. The victim's pain was continuous, sharp and deep. Slowly, the screaming finally stopped.
— That sound doesn't sound like a stop, it's like...
Died of exhaustion.
"The dungeon player of the Lustful Witch has died." The system's cold notification sounded in everyone's minds, "Players, please carefully plan your next itinerary."
Everyone: ...
dead... dead
Was the scream in the foggy city just now the last sound the dead player made during his lifetime
"You don't have to be so nervous. Although that player is dead, we are still alive." The woman in blue said carelessly, "And maybe she wasn't killed by the big copy of the Lustful Witch, but just by the plot of her birth point." Killed. Anyway, we only need to pass through the copy of the key of the Lustful Witch, and we don't need to go through the birth point story... "
"... But it's a storyline." Qiu Ran hesitated to speak.
No matter what the plot of the birth point is, it is closely related to the witch plot that the player is about to encounter next. It is even said that it is a kind of plot and plot given to the player by the system before the player steps into the next more difficult plot of the witch key. Clue hints.
Just as Qiuran's birth point plot is ice coffin, apple and crow, so the witch plot she corresponds to is the culprit who caused her to be killed by the poisonous apple—the queen in the castle, and the image that reflects people's hearts. Jealousy and ugly mirrors.
And Lin Huai's birth point plot is Little Red Riding Hood. Among all the players, he is the only one who appears in the game in the form of a loli (maybe this is the game for him, an intermediate-level player who came to the high-end game with his boyfriend. field player protection). The purpose of the wolf was to eat him, and in the original story, Little Red Riding Hood was indeed eaten by the wolf—she entered his stomach, and was finally rescued by the hunter. Therefore, the witch plot he corresponds to is also in the forest, the same is the lost little girl and the food, and it is also related to the same important organ—hunger and stomach.
And the plot of Chu Tianshu's birth point is a sealed coffin full of thorns... and a "prince" who wants to kiss him with evil intentions. Of course, Chu Tianshu kicked the prince into the well with a tingling scalp, and carefully concealed this matter from Lin Huai. Therefore, the witch plot he corresponds to is also related to the "kiss of true love", stories related to dreams and the sleeping city, and spinning cones.
And now... the only player who can tell them what happened in that "city" is dead. If they arrived in the city at this moment, all they could see... was a strange and purposeless world.
How can they know who the real witch is in this city
"That city-state looks very dangerous." After a long time, Qiu Ran whispered, "Let's leave here first, and come back after finishing the copy of the Envious Witch..."
The woman in blue was very cheerful: "Okay, you have the final say."
Before leaving this street, Qiu Ran saw the city-state controlled by the lust witch for the last time. The city-state is always filled with fog—either wet rain and fog, or gray smoke. The whole city seems to be soaked by rain and gunpowder smoke. Even if people walk in it, they can’t see the way inside clearly. .
In this blurred vision, Qiu Ran saw the faded English letters written on the city's rusty golden sign.
She read the six letters clearly.
"london".
"Don't worry," the woman in blue said behind her, "It's just a copy. Do you know what is more terrifying than ghosts and gods?"
Qiu Ran asked her, "What is it?"
The woman in blue smiled inscrutablely.
"Hahahaha, of course it's the human heart. No matter how cruel ghosts are, they are not as scary as perverted humans." She said with a smile, "As long as you don't meet weird and terrifying perverts like 'Crow', these things are nothing serious."
Qiuran: ...
…
The weird and scary pervert is in the mirror maze.
He was wearing a wine-red cloak, with jet-black bangs hanging down on his forehead, his eyes were dark, and he was holding a long-handled ax as long as his entire calf in his hand.
His side is surrounded by mirrors. In the mirror, his figure and that of Chu Tianshu were reflected.
The place separated from him by a piece of glass is Chu Tianshu.
"The new guests have been arranged, let's start again." The blood-red witch returned to the glass, smiling.
then she...
"What is that one behind you?!" The Scarlet Witch screamed.
Lin Huai looked back and saw the bloody female ghost lying on the ground pitifully following him. He looked at the Scarlet Witch and said sincerely, "A road sign."
Scarlet Witch: …
Lin Huai: "The kind that can mark the path you have traveled, and draw out a long, long line of blood."
Scarlet Witch: …
She snorted coldly and said, "No one is allowed to enter here."
Lin Huai: "This is not a human, but a ghost..."
He was just about to argue for his tool ghost, when he swept his eyes, he suddenly discovered a very wonderful thing.
—In all the mirrors, the figure of the female ghost is not reflected
He let out a little "huh", intending to take out the ghost mirror in the package, use it to use the control variable method to find the female ghost, and find out whether there is something wrong with the mirror or the female ghost. However, before he could do any further work, the blood-red witch sneered and snapped her fingers.
The tool-man female ghost summoned by him was wiped out in a snap of fingers without any resistance.
Lin Huai: ...
Seeing Lin Huai's increasingly gloomy face, the Scarlet Witch smiled triumphantly and said, "What? You're scared? I've already said that in front of my strength, you can't resist at all..."
Lin Huai said, "You just destroyed my private property."
Scarlet Witch:?
What about being angry
"I spent an A-level branch plot to buy this radio." Lin Huai lifted the radio in the package to his hand, and said coldly to the blood-red witch in the glass, "This radio has a total of dozens of stations. The ghosts on the radio are all my precious private property... "
Scarlet Witch: …
… wait, private wealth? Why do you so naturally regard the ghosts on the radio as your private property
"And you... destroyed her so easily. She is worth at least a B-level plot." Lin Huai said softly, "Let's do it."
He smiled at the Mirror Witch: "This B-level side plot, I will earn it from you."
Scarlet Witch: ... ?
... She decided to give up communicating with this player with a weird brain circuit.
"Just now, I overlooked a problem when dividing the compartments. It turns out that the two gamers are lovers who are in love with each other—" The Envious Witch laughed, "It just so happens that the couple is my favorite in this dungeon."
As she spoke, the glass that originally stood between the two disappeared.
Lin Huai and Chu Tianshu returned to the same room again. Lin Huai opened his mouth. Just as he was about to talk to Chu Tianshu, he found...
My own voice was actually blocked!
He couldn't make a sound.
"Considering excluding possible cheating factors between the two, I specifically silenced the voice of the person who answered the question." The blood-red witch appeared in a mirror and smiled, "Next, I will ask the person named 'Lin Huai's player asks a question, and when the real answer emerges in his mind, one of the six mirrors will also show his real thoughts on this question. Then—”
"The player surnamed Chu needs to find out the correct side, walk in, and bring the player surnamed Lin in together. Next, the player surnamed Chu will be shut up and answer my question." Question." The Scarlet Witch gave her game rules in detail, "Next, do you understand?"
Lin Huai and Chu Tianshu looked at each other and nodded.
There are different meanings in their eyes.
Lin Huai: ... You won't miss it (doubt).
Chu Tianshu: ...Don't worry, I can do it.
Lin Huai: ... I can't even guess what I'm thinking.
Chu Tianshu: I don't want you to think, I want me to think.
"Okay, now is the first question." The blood-red witch floated in the mirror and said softly, "Lin Huai."
"For the past twenty years, you have been an ordinary college student who loves learning and pretends to be a completely enthusiastic normal person in your life, but in reality, you are a complete lunatic and Pervert..." The blood-red witch read her lines.
Before she finished speaking, Chu Tianshu threateningly tapped the glass where she was with pliers.
"Hey," the handsome young man with fluffy chestnut hair squatted in front of the mirror where she was, and casually tapped the mirror with the pliers, making a few crisp sounds, "Keep your mouth clean."
Scarlet Witch: …
Lin Huai on the other side is very cooperative with her work. He tried his best to compare the shape of his mouth to Chu Tianshu, but found that his mouth was completely sealed, and he couldn't even make a mouth shape. In the end, he could only make a few gestures of spreading his hands and turning his head, expressing it personally with his body language—
'Oh, she's right, don't be mad, I like that comment. '
Chu Tianshu: ...
"All right, little madman." He retracted the wrench and stood up.
Scarlet Witch: …
The blood-red witch's mood is a bit complicated.
Unlike other witches, as a jealous witch, one of the deadliest moves in this mirror copy she created was to provoke conflicts between players.
After a few players enter the Mirror Labyrinth, no matter what their previous relationship is or what kind of temporary cooperative relationship they have reached, the only thing that is inevitable is their concealment from each other.
It is human nature to hide things from others. Whether it's the distribution of benefits, the acquisition of the final props, or the way to deal with crises... Mirror Witch's favorite thing to do is to intensify conflicts and magnify the antagonistic emotions between players through each question.
Sometimes, it only takes a small opportunity for players to kill each other. For example, when one person was asked "He just got a very useful item in the previous city-state, what did you think when you followed him in the corridor?" Ask the scene where the man was killed by smashing his head from behind with a sickle in his hand.
Or, when asked about the interests of the core of the team, the leader player who is full of benevolence, morality and friendship appeared in the mirror, but when the ghosts attacked, he left the other players and ran away by himself, even... The scene where the player who wants to protect pushes into the pile of ghosts and escapes by himself.
Or, one of the players appeared in the mirror, and when the other players were not paying attention, he secretly hid the props that exploded from other witches, stuffed them into his sleeves, and turned his head to tell the other party that he did not find the props, even when the other players were not paying attention. At the time of life and death, this secret scene was not revealed.
... Even she sometimes creates a situation where all the answers in the mirrors in the room are wrong, she made up the answers.
And the more players who have a relationship between the two in the past, the more welcome the Scarlet Witch. Since the two are old acquaintances, many stories must have happened between them. It is much easier to find the breaking point of the relationship between the two.
—The one who can easily kill other players is always another player. Ghosts are restricted by the rules and cannot kill, but players do not.
——especially, the most fragile, the most betrayal, and the most intolerant of deceit and lies.
... However, looking at the two people in front of her, the Scarlet Witch suddenly became a little confused.
— These two people are so abnormal, can she really let them kill each other, or go into the wrong option
She stopped thinking about it and looked at the two of them again...
Scarlet Witch: …
She watched the man named Chu Tianshu walk towards Lin Huai, and touched the corner of his mouth. After he confirmed that Lin Huai couldn't open his mouth to speak and could only make a humming sound, Chu Tianshu actually laughed.
Laughed.
Scarlet Witch:? ?
Then she saw Chu Tianshu stretch out her index finger and middle finger...
The side-by-side kind.
Touched each other's lips.
Pinch each other's lips.
Then he touched the seam of the other's mouth ambiguously.
The Scarlet Witch: ?
Wait, what are you guys doing
Chu Tianshu: "Hey, hey, come and bite me, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah—"
Lin Huai withdrew the kick that was given to him expressionlessly.
