Chapter 386: All Sins That Begin with the Divine Perch (5)
"Is this little old man an NPC with an over-the-top plot? I always felt that he was about to come out and say something......" Chi Yu stared at the old man in black, "but what is this old man talking about?" Muttering, no matter how you listen to it, it's not serious. ”
Shiramaru shrugged: "It's a spell, I can only hear a few vague syllables, the system probably didn't intend for us to hear what he's doing." ”
At this time, the little old man stopped chanting, suddenly raised his head, and stared straight at Chi Yu's two people in front of him with his cloudy eyes, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a weird smile.
"Here we are." The little old man stretched out his hand and handed the plate to Chi Yu and the others, "Just leave something." ”
Hakumaru didn't make any moves, just said coldly: "You have already cast a spell on us, which means that you want not just a drop of our blood, but all of us, in that case, why are you pretending to be here?" ”
"Do you know who is the cause of this school's resentment? Do you know what kind of opportunity I stayed here to wait? Hee-hee, you don't understand, little young man, I advise you not to meddle in your business, because ...... The sun always sets, the moon always rises, and the night is inevitable, hee-hee......"
The little old man twisted his neck and made a crisp "Kala" sound, and Chi Yu watched him twist his head to the back of his head, turn around and twist it back.
His mouth was uttering illogical words, and after a long cry of "quack", the old man transformed into a figure, shed his dark clothes, turned into a crow, flapped his wings, and flew away.
"Presumably this is someone's clone left here." Chi Yu twisted a feather on the ground, as if he could feel a force that could erode the soul from above, "That person started to lay out the underground palace in order to introduce us here. ”
Shiramaru turned his face sideways and smiled, "You didn't think about why he did this, why is it us?" ”
"What do you mean," Chi Yu had a strange guess in his mind as he thought of the mural he saw in the second level, "We were chosen?" ”
Saying this, Chi Yu felt ridiculous again: "I always think it's just a coincidence, you kid was killed by paranoia, and the two people who died in the third level were quite random."
One was killed by your kid, and the other was sent to death by being bewitched by hallucinations, but these two happened to know each other and came together.
"Is it a coincidence?" Shiramaru said in a mocking tone, "Is it a coincidence that the hallucinations at that time affected each of us, but that person was the only one who was tempted and devoured by the cannibal flower?" ”
Here, any coincidences should be scrutinized.
What's more, there are some things that are not coincidences at all, which will come quietly under the cloak of coincidence.
"I guess you remember the murals you saw in the second level." Shiramaru knocked on the wall, "Based on your memory, you should still have some impressions, right?" ”
"Day alternates with night, day is the gift of the gods, night is the punishment of evil spirits, and the crows hover over the great trees of the gods, listening to the sorrows of the dead." These were the words written on the last mural, and Chi Yu remembered it clearly, "So what? I really didn't read anything out of that. ”
On the mural, the moonlight turns the gods into evil spirits, and the evil spirits eventually go to the boundless darkness, carrying the human soul and the appearance of a god.
At the end of the day, this is a story about gods and demons, and there seem to be many more stories like this, each of which seems to be similar, except that this one is a little darker.
Shiramaru nodded and said, "I remember the part of the mural I saw, which showed a huge merchant ship with samurai and maids on board, and a hanging basket made of cinnamon branches on the top of the cabin, and a transparent bead that glowed in the basket.
Strange to say, the merchant ships sailed in a deep black ocean, and the name of the ocean I have heard a little bit of is called Xuanhai. ”
Chi Yu frowned.
Xuanhai, this name he had heard for the third time, was terrifyingly familiar.
Chi Yu deliberately didn't mention the matter of Xuanhai, and only said: "Since you and I are different, then maybe everyone sees different scenes, you should really ask carefully at the third level, now that everyone is dead, there is nowhere to ask if you want to." ”
Shiramaru scoffed and said, "This is not an important clue at all, whether you say it or not, the result will not deviate much, not everyone will notice the content on the mural, and not everyone who notices it will think more." ”
"Not important?"
"It's obviously just a landscape or a story, right?" Shiramaru said disdainfully, "Knowing this story, or not knowing this story, will it affect your ability to clear the level?" Those who should be killed and sacrificed will still die after all, but they will die in vain. ”
This is also true, even if Fei Zhao and the others mentioned the content of the mural they saw, everyone would say "oh" at most, what should they do.
The most important thing is that whether it is the war of gods and demons, or the pearl of the merchant ship, it is all the information obtained by the player, and generally speaking, this kind of information will not be shared with another player who only has one side.
"So, why are you mentioning this?" Chi Yu became more and more confused about what the other party meant, "You also said it, whether you know this story or not, it won't affect the customs clearance at all." ”
"Do you want to know what the mural Fei Zhao saw in the second level is?"
"Fei Zhao? What does this have to do with Fei Zhao, besides, Fei Zhao is dead, and he doesn't seem to have explained anything to you before he died, right? ”
"I can use my abilities to probe some of his memories."
"So ......"
"The mural that Fei Zhao saw depicted a man wearing a demon mask tying up a woman as a sacrifice to a god on a high mountain." Shiramaru blew his nails, "There are four people walking with the masked man. One of the samurai holding a sword, wearing a white flower mask, had his hand pressed to the hilt, and looked like he was eager to try......"
“……”
Having said that, Chi Yu already understood that the death of Fei Zhao and the others was not accidental, but predetermined.
"Although the mural does not affect the completion of the level, it hints at the player's ending. It's like a blind man's fortune telling, you can not believe the blind man's words, but you can't avoid the arrangement of fate. ”
Shiramaru turned his face and asked, "Let me make a hypothesis, at the end of the third level, there are no two camps, or, there is only one person left, so which entrance should this person go to?" ”
Bai Maru's words made Chi Yu a little confused.
Choose?
This choice seems a bit heavy, and players have been forced to make choices from the moment they enter the dungeon, however......
"The choice is simply random, you and I are in one place, and the two of them are in the other." Chi Yu said, "Isn't this still saying that the root cause of today's situation is the word 'coincidence'?" ”
