MTL - Half Immortal-Chapter 128 Puppet Castle (End)
Yan Wei was noncommittal.
He gave up the method of seeking stability instead of winning, and instead took risks to make the man in black robe stronger and fearless. Perhaps in Xu Miaomiao's eyes, his choice is indeed? It's crazy of. But he didn't think he was crazy.
On the contrary, he is very calm at the moment.
The next moment, another evil puppet showed the smile of the man in black robe.
Even if Yu Hua had tried Yan Wei's idea before, Yan Mingguang and others would still help Yu Hua and others after Yan Wei's suggestion.
After all, in the current situation, the result of qualifying has been determined, and going out alive has become a more important thing.
Shan Puppet Yanwei was still standing in front, when Yan Mingguang turned around and swung the whip, the evil puppet that the man in black robe was attached to suddenly rushed towards Shan Puppet Yanwei, sharp fingertips Only take Shan Yanwei's heart. But at the moment when that fingertip was about to pierce Shan Puppet Yanwei's chest, it suddenly stagnated and could no longer move forward.
In this moment, Yan Mingguang turned around, and in a blink of an eye, the long whip shattered this evil puppet's body.
The voice of the man in black robe immediately came from another evil puppet: "Why? I can't kill you?"
Shan Yanwei smiled and said, "Guess."
Before the projection of the competitive copy.
All players who have watched this competitive dungeon from start to finish know that unless there is something now? But they basically did not leave the scene, but they watched more seriously than before.
This time, Qi Xingxing? The leader looked at Xue Wan, who was still fighting alone with the evil puppets in another part of the castle, and sighed: "This time Xuanniao is crazy enough, we lost. It's not wrong. Is this game-breaking method really? It's too extreme..."
Another player was obviously not very happy about Yan Wei taking their first place, and sneered: "Also? I don't know if it was playing with fire. Lost my life."
"Although saying this is a bit more ambitious, I think..." The man shook his head, "Those who can do this kind of thing should not play with fire. At the extreme, he seems to be eager for success, maybe he wants the benefits of this dungeon. I've only heard of such crazy gameplay before? The one who went missing from Xuan Niao, if not the super high-level ones, all said That one is likely to die on the top floor, I almost thought that this Yan Wei was the apprentice who brought him out by hand."
"How can Xuanniao clean up this kind of thing? They are all extreme lunatics. They should be dead headmaster, Lin Qingye, and his younger brother Lin Zhenye. , and this newcomer Yan Wei too."
"It's a pity that our head and Lin Qing have already entered the dungeon. Otherwise, we can really come and see if this may be the apprentice that Xuanniao brought before he disappeared."
"Impossible, right? The time is not right, the mysterious bird has long disappeared."
“…”
Under the approach of the evil puppet, the players on the star observation platform have shrunk round and round.
Xu Miaomiao was not a player who was good at fighting, so she simply dodged behind Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou during a few back and forth. She and I, Yan Wei, stood at the innermost side, her brows furrowed, as if she was thinking about something?
"How are you thinking about breaking the game?" Yan Wei asked her, "Why, don't you believe me?"
Xu Miaomiao just said: "I only believe in myself, I just cooperate with you? Not rely on you."
"Little sister has some ideas."
Yan Wei ignored her.
Xu Miaomiao may have her own ideas, and so does he.
The outside of the castle is surrounded by a labyrinth with man-eating crows hovering above the labyrinth, and only guests who reach the castle safely before midnight can enter the castle alive.
The man in black robe—perhaps her name is Ace, she likes to play with human nature, likes to hide in puppets, and likes to make puppets of arriving guests.
She is not a normal "person", she is keen on destruction, and is also keen on games.
So she made the rules of the game, that is, the rules of this competitive copy. While she was a referee, in order to achieve what she said was fair, she herself was a participant in the game, and she also had the points for catching the puppets. That's how Yan Wei got the highest points.
But now, because they broke the rules of the game, the black robes felt that the fairness was broken, ended the game early, and made no difference to all the players present.
From beginning to end, players have always thought that the three essential elements of "black robe, coins, and meat grinder" are all pretense. Coins are not necessary, and the meat grinder can't kill the black-robed man. These are just tricks for the black-robed man. She stayed at the star-gazing platform at first, easily getting every point, and then pretended to be the mother of the black-robed man, "inducing" Yan Wei and others to throw her into the meat grinder, so that she could break away from her dying body.
She just wants to kill all the players now and make them into her collection. But Yan Wei needs to keep Xuanniao's first place, and end all this, and exchange the puppet to break the game and leave.
Yan Mingguang mentioned to him before that the puppet to be exchanged at the end of the dungeon is his own good puppet. From the very beginning, the real and the fake were intertwined with the inside and outside of the castle, and now the black-robed man can never be killed. To end all this is obviously the way to break the game.
Either? Kill all the evil puppets, or? Kill the soul of this undead black-robed man.
People don't have to die. The words of the black-robed man are not necessarily credible. What if this is a pretense? If the evil puppet dies, what if the black-robed man continues to be attached to the good puppet? So what can they do, they can't kill themselves, right?
There is only one way left—kill the man in black robe.
But the man in black robe cannot be killed.
No, there must be something? How—
There was a loud noise in front of him, Yan Wei's thoughts were interrupted, he looked up, and saw that Lin Zhen, who was originally in front, was suddenly wrapped around 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 a puppet. I'll 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 originally responsible for became a gap, and five or six puppets rushed in instantly.
Xu Miaomiao was thinking, when she saw the puppets rushing towards her, she had to pick up her long staff to block the puppets.
She said angrily, "How reliable are you!"
Shan Yanwei turned around and picked up the moon wheel and cooperated with Xu Miaomiao, shouting, "Thank you!"
Xu Miaomiao: "…"
I Yanwei helped Lin Zhen up beside him, let him lean on the edge of the meat grinder, and took a look at Lin Zhen's injury.
Lin Zhen's face completely lost its blood color, and he seemed to have vomited a big mouthful of blood, and there was blood on his lips. He couldn't see any injuries on his body, but it seemed like he had suffered something? Serious injuries, and he was leaning weakly all over.
Yan Wei frowned: "What's wrong with you? Why did you suffer such a serious injury all of a sudden?"
Although he was thinking just now, he was also staring at the surroundings with his perception. Lin Zhen was clearly never approached by the evil puppet from beginning to end. People are thrown in.
Lin Zhen took a breath and seemed to have eased? After a while, he weakly scolded and said, "...Why did the chain fall again? It's me."
Two Yu Feizhou squatted down beside him and Yan Wei, picked up the daggers and said in unison, "I'll help you move first."
He raised his dagger, but his movements suddenly stopped.
Yan Wei also found something wrong.
—Lin Zhen is not injured, how can Yu Feizhou move?
The situation around me just got worse at this moment. There were a few less people on their side, and even though Xu Miaomiao and Shan Yanwei were slightly supported, the gap was opened, and in an instant, most of the star-viewing platform was filled with puppets.
The man in black robe was in the midst of evil puppets, 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!"
Shan Yanwei said: "Trust me."
In front of the meat grinder in the center, Lin Zhen slowly raised his hand, grabbed the wrist of a fish flying boat beside him, and pulled away his dagger. 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 was my brother who was injured in the copy."
Yan Wei and Yu Feizhou were stunned for a moment at the same time. Yan Mingguang, who was beside him, moved for a while, and glanced at Lin Zhen without any surprise, then withdrew his gaze and continued to fight against the evil puppets.
Yan Wei noticed Yan Mingguang's insignificant pause in a panic - did Yan Mingguang have reserved for this moment, so that's why he found out that there was something wrong with Lin Zhen?
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, he can..."
Borrow Lin Zhen's life.
Yan Weiming knew that Lin Qing might be a friend who had been fighting side by side since he first climbed the building. At this moment, he couldn't help but burst out with anger.
They entered the dungeon earlier than Lin Qing. Wouldn't Lin Qing have imagined that they were also at the moment? The black robe and the evil puppet were by his side, and he took a wrong step. If Yan Mingguang didn't react so quickly, Lin Zhen might be torn apart by the evil puppet in an instant due to this unexpected serious injury.
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 backup life still made Yan Wei furious.
Lin Zhen didn't care, just glanced at the stunned Yu Feizhou, raised his hand, wiped the blood from his mouth, and said softly, "What are you stunned for?? I thought you knew...after all...after all, my brother asked you to take care of me, just to let you keep me safe and use it when he needed it, lest I die if I don't use it."
"So have you figured out how to deal with this ghost?"
This is about Yan Wei.
Yan Wei shook his head: "I have a vague idea, I almost caught it just now."
Lin Zhen took a mouthful of the medicine from Yu Feizhou, and got up with his hands: "Then think about it quickly, Yu Feizhou and I will go for a while longer."
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, the little pet figured out what to do after a while, I'm still... still lying here, isn't that too much? Shame? Tsk, then my contribution to this dungeon isn't... ahem... isn't it just breaking the glass and catching a stupid crow?"
Yan Wei's expression slammed, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. He blinked in a daze, and whispered to himself in an insignificant voice: "...Catch the crow?"
Yu Feizhou's eyes were completely on Lin Zhen. He frowned: "But you're really not suitable for shooting."
Around, the evil puppet is getting closer and closer, and there are already a few players who are not strong enough to support, and the puppet grabs the heart in an instant, and the good puppet corresponding to the dead self is also? became a puppet.
The number of evil puppets is getting closer and closer.
Yan Wei slowly looked up at the glass dome overhead.
Puppets of good and evil, large and small castles, truth and lies.
Everything here has a corresponding side.
They hold coins, and crows are drawn on the coins; each player has a corresponding puppet of good and evil, and between the real and the fake, there are also hidden reality and illusory dreams...
These are all one-to-one correspondence, positive and negative, appearing in pairs.
Except…
Yan Wei slowly stood up and looked up at the glass dome.
The moonlight fell, and the flying crows blocked the scattered light and shadow, and cast a large scattered long shadow. The chaotic fighting sounds and the laughter of the people in black robes were vaguely mixed with the cries of crows outside the dome, which were hoarse and weak.
Following the direction of Yan Wei's gaze, Yan Mingguang and Shan Yanwei looked outside the dome at the same time.
Yan Wei spoke slowly, along with Yan Mingguang and Shan Yanwei: "Crow."
Everything is one-to-one, positive and negative, and paired.
Except the crow.
There are no crows in the small maze inside the castle. In other words, there was no crow in the castle anymore.
At this moment, Yan Mingguang had already taken a few steps forward without having to say anything from Yan Wei, picked up the longbow that Lin Zhen placed by his side, and said, "Borrow it."
Lin Zhen didn't forget to say in the rest room: "...you understand again."
The next moment, Yan Mingguang pulled the bowstring, and ten long arrows appeared on the longbow. The moment he let go, the long arrow headed towards the dome in all directions, and shot through the dome in an instant!
The rampant laughter of the man in black robe suddenly stopped.
The glass shattered, the self Yanwei and the good puppet Yanwei held the moon wheel at the same time. The moon wheel emits a faint white light, creating a separate space beside the players who are injured or have blood on their bodies, isolating the **** smell from their bodies.
As a large piece of glass fell, the crow hovering on the dome suddenly turned its direction, spread its wings, and flew into the star-gazing platform in an instant!
Go in one direction.
—that is the direction of the evil puppet attached to the man in black robe.
Her hoarse and gloomy voice let out a heart-wrenching roar: "How did you know! How did you - ah ah ah ah ah!!"
That was the same scream as the players who died under the ravages of the jungle maze on the first night of the dungeon.
Large crows poured down, and the black tide with intertwined hoarse cries mixed with the tearing screams, torturing people's eardrums.
[Congratulations to the player for solving the final puzzle of the puppet castle, ending the tragic root of the puppet castle, and getting the following rewards: …. 】
It didn't take long for it to go downhill sharply, but at this moment it turned around, and the dungeon ended in the tide of the black crow. Everyone was stunned, and Xu Miaomiao was dumbfounded.
Lin Zhen was lifted up by Yu Feizhou, his face was pale, and he did not forget to joke: "Little pet's little sister, we are very reliable."
"To be devoured by crows is complete death... How did you think of it?"
In front of her eyes, the black crow devoured the black-robed man completely, and all those evil puppets lost control, standing there dumbfounded, letting the black crow nibble away. Some crows hit the barrier cut by the moon wheel, Yan Wei's face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "Why? Only the star observation deck is full of glass? This game is fair."
The game starts from the player entering the jungle maze, the crow is also the executor of the game, the crow is fair to all the participants of the game. They will cannibalize players, and naturally they will also cannibalize the black-robed people.
To break glass, you must be 100 percent sure.
The crow must be the key to breaking the game.
To break the situation where truth and false are intertwined, good and evil are relatively nested inside and outside, only to find out the only thing in the relative that does not want to be right. In this copy, all the images, only the crow is not repeated. They only lingered on the outside of the castle, and the black-robed people in the castle couldn't touch them at all.
Why? To completely isolate the crows?
The crow will gnaw at the injured player, wouldn't it add more chaos and blood?
In the small maze, when the crow caught by Lin Zhen alone appeared, the woman was speechless on the spot, not because of Yan Weiliu's first move, but because of the sudden appearance crow. The game is fair, players are afraid of crows, and so are the people in black robes. She can even enter the meat grinder at will, can't kill, what? She's not afraid, but she's just afraid of crows, there can only be one reason.
The raven restrains her immortality.
The answer was told 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 a jungle maze because of blood loss. The blood stained the ground, the surrounding vegetation was corroded, and his mother was devoured by crows He died of flesh and blood. But he wept on the grass for three days, the crows croaked for him, and the jungle withered for him."
Birth is unknown, the black-robed man has no mother at all, this story is just a broken image, which symbolizes the black-robed man who calls himself "Ace's mother".
"Devouring flesh and blood by swarms of crows" is the way to break the game.
In front of her eyes, an invisible black staircase spread down from the starry night, passed through the broken glass dome, and extended in front of the players.
All players hurried up the stairs.
Seeing a figure disappearing above the long black steps, Yan Wei turned to look at Yan Mingguang.
He said, "If I go up, everything will be different."
"I'll be waiting for you in the world inside the building."
Yan Wei has been thinking about the memory for so long, but she suddenly does not want to move forward. He said, "I used to go upstairs, is it like now?"
"Exactly the same."
"What was my purpose??"
"Walk up and you'll know."
"But I want to hear from you. Now, my goal is just to climb the building. When I think of those in the past, I don't seem to have much purpose. Is it because my previous goals failed?"
In the shadow of the moon and the crow, Yan Mingguang paused.
"You want to destroy the order of the building, so that all this no longer exists."
But the building is still in good condition, maintaining all the operation.
Yan Wei spreads his hands: "It seems that I failed."
There was no one around them. In the thick smell of blood, the moonlight sprinkled, and the black crows lingered around, hitting the sides of Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang.
Yan Wei walked in front of Yan Mingguang and lifted his chin lightly.
This time the kiss was violent and quick.
Yan Wei just felt this person's warmth, but he didn't react? Yan Mingguang restrained him and let go of him, took a step back and said, "Go up."
Yan Wei raised his hand subconsciously, and 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 and look in my memory, Mr. Yan, were you such a hypocrite when you were in bed before."
