Chapter 113: Horror Nursery Rhymes
The gates of the castle opened again, but the outside was dark, like an asphalt curtain wall.
This is clearly not an exit from the castle, more like a gate to hell.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and their eyes are full of caution. Although they all knew that this was a "game" prepared for them by the owner of the castle, no one wanted to let people lead them by the nose. If there is a chance to find a flaw, they will definitely choose to kill the owner of the castle first.
"You see, the boy has passed..."
While everyone was hesitating, they were surprised to find Raymond walking calmly and directly towards the gate.
Although there were doubts, these people didn't stop them.
They also wanted to see if it would be dangerous to walk out of the door.
Nothing happened, and Raymond's figure melted into the darkness outside the door and disappeared.
Morlock frowned and said, "I can't sense his presence anymore..."
The fat man Fergao also looked solemn and said: "Now it seems that we have no other choice but to go out from this gate." ”
"That's the trend."
The pirate Jaedra said with a gloomy face, "I've got a bit of a knack for traps, here... Tsk, the technological level of this castle is already a bit exaggerated, and many of the mechanisms are designs that I have only seen in ancient books... I'm sure of one thing, the ancient castle here is definitely not a super-level level that any force in the Black Sea can forge! If we want to break out, let's break this thought. ”
As a notorious "aristocratic thief", Jaedra once had the "brilliant" experience of successfully escaping from Tianlan Royal Prison. Since he said so, everyone was naturally somewhat convinced.
At this time, Jaedra's gaze fell on the black crystal table, and he said, "I seem to have seen this magic pattern somewhere... It seems to be the style of the Knicks civilization period..."
"In that case, don't think about it so much..."
Mary saw that Raymond actually went out of the gate without worry, and a strange color flashed in her crystal eyes.
She smiled lightly, and walked towards the door, "Don't you know if you go and see?" I can't get out if I stay here anyway..."
......
Raymond walked through the gate, and behind the shady scenes, it was naturally not the same as before he came.
It was as if he had entered the gate of another castle, although it was not as gorgeous as the Hidden Moon Castle, but the decoration was also a rich and noble family.
And at this moment, there is obviously a "murder scene" in front of him.
The cashmere carpet beneath his feet was covered with blood, and the corpses of the servants lay strewn to the ground.
The blood had not yet clotted and looked like it had not been long dead.
"The case of the destruction of the Viscount Garcia's mansion?"
As soon as Raymond saw this familiar scene, he guessed which dungeon plot he was about to face.
He looked at the system prompt, and sure enough, it showed that he had entered a special scene, that is, an illusion created by spiritual power.
The bloody scene in front of him didn't make him worry at all,
Because he knows exactly what will happen next.
Thinking of this, he didn't rush to explore the plot,
Instead, I chose to make some small attempts.
"The contents of the package will work as well..."
Raymond took out a musket and fired a shot casually, the tongue of fire, ballistics, and the smell of gunpowder were normal.
He was curious about the principle of this false scene created by mental power. The scene was obviously made by the owner of the castle, and the musket that he took out of the package in his hand was definitely not a physical object, but a conscious one.
Although this situation is the same as in the game, the game is just a setting, and in the real world, existence must have a principle of existence.
"So... The essence of illusion is to create something that can be understood within one's own cognitive range? Think about it, it's real? I know there's a musket in the package, so can I take it out? ”
He frowned and pondered for a moment, probably having some conjectures, and muttered mentally, "What if there is none?" Like what... Turning into an apple? ”
Raymond imagined that he could conjure an apple out of his fantasy... But it seems to have failed.
Perhaps, the wrong way to open?
He pondered for a moment, deciding to confirm an idea.
He took out a piece of paper and wrote a paragraph on it: "Self-hypnosis for the first time, trying to convince myself that I have an apple in my hand..."
After Raymond finished writing, he put the note in his pocket, then took out a silver glittering pocket watch, used a hypnotic suggestion on himself, and said in a mysterious mouth: "I have an apple in my package, red, overflowing with an enticing aroma..."
He wanted to try to see if this spiritual illusion was the same as the dream, and he was the creator.
If the seal is correct, then... He might have really figured out the nature of illusion!
......
Half an hour later,
"Huh? This apple is delicious..."
Raymond took a bite of the apple in his hand, he didn't even think about what to do, there was an apple in his hand, everything was taken for granted, as if he was not surprised at all why Eye suddenly appeared in this room full of corpses.
At this time, when he habitually put his hands in his pockets, he suddenly touched a few notes, his face instantly became very strange, and he vaguely remembered something...
"The second self-hypnosis, trying to convince myself that I had a banana in my hand..."
"I have a half-bitten banana in my hand right now. Second... Oh, wrong. After reading the note, it should be the third time... I try to hypnotize myself and imagine having a pear in my hand..."
"I have pears in my hand now... I tried to hypnotize myself, and a Mary with no clothes appeared in front of me... Hypnosis failed... The reasons for the failure of self-analysis 1, lack of mental strength, 2) lack of proficiency in hypnosis, 3, insufficient understanding of the feeling of 'Mary without clothes'... Next time, I'll try to hypnotize another magic musket in my hand... Apparently failed again..."
“...”
"The eighth failure... I have probably come to the conclusion that I can 'know' creation. But now I can only get cognition through hypnotic creation, and get something familiar enough within my cognitive range... It is roughly concluded that in the spiritual illusion, the level of creation is limited by the strength of mental power and cognition... Try the apple one last time, let yourself see the note, and stop being curious about doing this boring 'fruit' attempt... Because the plot is about to begin..."
Raymond carefully read the contents of the note, and then looked at the apple in his hand and immediately disappeared, his face suddenly became a little strange.
"Subconsciously believe that if you have an apple in your hand, you will exist... Once you realize it's illusory, disappear away? That's why I hypnotized myself like a secondary two disease before, in order to paralyze the subconscious mind and expiry myself? Gee... Is this the nature of illusion? ”
Sure enough, the highest level of deception is to even deceive yourself, and even believe it yourself!
Raymond suddenly seemed to have realized something, and his heart became more and more curious.
He felt that as long as he understood this, he would fall into other illusions in the future, and he would have a little means to resist.
However, he turned his head to look at the hands on the clock in the room, and looked a little strange.
"Sure enough, I still know myself best... If it weren't for the note I wrote to myself a few minutes ago, I guess I would have tried it a few times with curiosity..."Raymond pursed his mouth, but finally suppressed the burning curiosity in his heart.
......
If he doesn't know what this "Horror" plot is, it is estimated that he will be scared to death if he is not killed by the plot.
This is the top three decryption plots in the game, known as the "Top Ten Horror Plots of the Black Sea", with a danger index of eight stars and a horror index of ten stars!
At this moment, the old butler's voice sounded again, "Find out the real culprit of the destruction of the Viscount Garcia's mansion and successfully pass the test." ”
"The missions are the same as in the game..."
Raymond raised his eyebrows, looked at a room on the second floor, and then returned his gaze to the first floor.
It was a large castle with a man-made garden facing the sea in the backyard, a huge cherry tree with a severed doll tied to its branches.
These are all clues, which are related to the clearance evaluation of the entire plot, and the more carefully you observe, the easier it will be to clear the customs.
"There's no difference between the setting and the game... The location of the corpse, the traces, there is no deviation..."
Raymond wandered around the room roughly.
According to the normal procedure, players entering this scene will examine the wounds of these corpses one by one, and then find that they are all cut by a knife, and the player who is more careful can also infer from the location of the wounds that the murderer's height is not very high, and from the expression of the body of the fat maid in the kitchen, it can also be inferred that the murderer is an acquaintance...
Raymond also looked like a completely unaware detective, carefully looking through the corpse.
He already knew the follow-up development of the plot clearly, and it stands to reason that the real murderer could be exposed directly through the copy. However, he has suffered too much loss from changing the plot at will before, this kind of decryption of the supernatural copy, the best way is to follow the development of the plot to explore, and changing the plot indiscriminately may lead to unknown variables.
In the game, in order to prevent players from taking shortcuts directly because they are familiar with the script, they set up a very perverted program.
The difficulty of the game decreases as the story progresses... This means that as soon as the player enters the dungeon and directly creates the real murderer, then the difficulty of this boss is several levels higher than the player's current level, which directly triggers the mortal plot.
If you obediently go through the horror process set up by these "directors", then the difficulty of the final boss will be reduced to the level of almost the same as yourself.
Raymond guessed that in reality it should be similar.
"Knock knock..."
At that moment, there was a strange sound in the kitchen, as if someone had been locked in the cellar and was smashing the cellar door with an axe or something.
"Bang dang!" The wooden cellar door was smashed, like someone was about to burst out of it.
The abrupt sound made the atmosphere suddenly urgent.
In the game, players now have two options, the first is to face a bloodied maniac with an axe who looks like a murderer, and kill him or get killed.
The second option is to go upstairs and find a room to hide, and then it will trigger another plot direction...
Raymond chose the second option.
In order not to show himself too calm, he gradually entered the role and ran up to the second floor in a panic. Knowing that the doors were locked, he still pretended to be nervous and twisted the doorknobs one by one.
Finally, he opened a room, rushed in, and locked the brass handle of the door with his backhand.
The room was covered with pink curtains, and the dressing table was full of dolls, and it looked like a girl's boudoir.
In the middle of the room was a large pink bed, on which was a shivering little girl, blonde and blue-eyed, looking petite and pitiful. She hugged her legs and curled up at the head of the bed, looking terrified.
When Raymond saw this little girl, his eyelids jumped unconsciously, and he said in his heart: "I said that the rampaging Lori outside is so familiar, it's really this little girl... It seems that this 'murder' scene was created based on her horrific memories..."
Little girl: "Uncle... I'm so scared..."
"Little girl, don't be afraid! With your uncle here, no one can hurt you..."
He walked over and said the most plausifying dialogue the game had ever tried to appease the player.
For a generally cautious player, you would definitely think that such a little girl, seeing a stranger is not cautious, but asking for help, may be suspicious...
Of course, it's not wrong in the first place, this girl is the murderer.
But when you pick up your weapon and head at the little girl, congratulations, the boss's enraged state is triggered, and the battle begins...
However, you'll be forced to find that Lori, the boss two ranks higher than you, can't kill you at all, and she won't kill you right away... Instead, the "chase mode" is activated, and then there is a repeated cycle of hide and fright... When you go to the bathroom, you will reach out a hand to wipe your buttocks, hide in the cupboard and your wet hair will entangle you, and when you look in the mirror, you will see a ghost behind you...
This little girl is just too bored, she wants to find someone to play with her, and then watch them scare to death, this is her greatest pleasure.
Raymond sat next to the little girl as soon as he sat on the buttocks, patted her shoulder, and said with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Don't be afraid, uncle protects you..."
Then, he asked the key words that drove the plot, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Woo woo woo woo ...," the little girl cried, telling a story that Raymond had known to be a lie.
Of course, the game is more intuitive, and it also comes with a horror nursery rhyme.
"Once upon a time I had a home,
And dear mom and dad,
One day Daddy was drunk,
Picked up the axe and walked to Mom,
Daddy, Daddy cut a lot,
Red blood stained the walls red,
Mommy's head rolls under the bed..."
The little girl finished telling the story, and then the sound of an axe slamming the door came from outside the door...
Then the little girl threw herself into Raymond's arms, trembling and said, "Uncle... I'm afraid..."
"Don't be afraid..."
"Uncle, I feel like something is moving under the bed..."
"What? I'll see..."
Raymond lowered his head and lifted the sheets and poked his head under the bed.
It stands to reason that people who don't know about it must have been nervous to the limit at the moment, and they will think that they will see a bloody thing with a human head or something, and then... Without a head, they will breathe a sigh of relief.
Still, they would see a little girl curled up and shivering under the bed. Of course, exactly the same as the one on the bed.
Then the expression tensed again, because the little girl on the bed had already climbed up her back.
Sure enough, Raymond saw the little girl under the bed, she pointed to her head and said in horror: "Uncle... There's a monster on the bed..."
Obviously, one of the two must be a monster.
Raymond knew that he would look back at this moment and see a terrifying grimace, and then he would be half scared to death.
He was stunned for two seconds, not knowing what to think, he took out a black iron rod from the package with his backhand, and directly stuck it into the little head lying on his shoulder and hammered it violently!
"Bang!"
The head was firmly beaten by the muffled sound of a stick.
Raymond ignored the strange scream behind him, and didn't look back at all, and directly hugged the little girl out under the bed.
This girl is a dual personality, this one under the bed is normal, and the one just now is the murderer. Of course, they share one body, and the other is just an illusion.
He didn't look back to see the terrifying personality, and he didn't trigger the boss's anger reflex.
When Raymond carried the little girl to bed, the other one naturally disappeared.
This is the most clever way for players to try in the game, and it can save a lot of trouble.
Then, the plot came as promised, and blood flowed from the closet across the bed...
Raymond opened it and calmly moved out a headless female corpse, which was little Lori's mother.
If he shows fear the moment he opens the closet, then immediately the little girl behind him will change to a terrifying personality, and then go on a rampage... The plot is far away again...
Obviously, Raymond won't give her a chance to change her personality. Because that terrifying personality is that the more frightened a person is, the more excited she is, and the higher the chance of appearing.
The next thing is to trigger the plot of finding the head of the female corpse...
Only when the head is finally found, the normal personality of the little girl will suppress the terrifying personality and finally clear the level.
Raymond avoided the maniac with the axe outside the door, then found the shovel with fresh dirt, followed the footprints, came to the cherry blossom tree in the garden, and then dug up the human head and climbed back into the room.
At this time, the little Lori with a normal personality saw the head, and then remembered that she had killed the whole family, and in her painful roar, she successfully cleared the customs...
In the game, this is a way to get the highest rating, and you don't have to go head-to-head with any boss.
As far as this plot is concerned, it seems that Raymond simply passed, and if he changed to anyone who was not familiar with him, he would be scared half to death. And,Unless the strength can harden the Lori of that terrifying personality (1-N times its own strength,Weaken as the plot progresses),Otherwise, this plot is full of traps.,Death is a life.。
Raymond didn't know what would happen if he died in this illusion, and he didn't risk it.
After clearing the customs, he unscrewed the door of the Viscount's Mansion and walked out, returning to the splendid banquet hall again.
"Huh? Someone cleared the customs before me? ”
Raymond looked at the black round table, and the fat man Felgau, who represented "gluttony", was already sitting upright on the iron chair.
"No... He's dead? ”
