Chapter 104: A Hellish Start (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
Irin didn't move.
It's not that it can't.
— but didn't dare.
He jumped slightly, and it flashed to his waist, and his legs were numb.
It seems that the lumbar intervertebral disc is too protruding and presses on the nerve, and by the way, it pulls the egg.
It's not enough to just jump like this......
If you move two more times, won't you be paralyzed on the spot?
"First the 'Labyrinth of Memory', and then another ......?"
Yi Rin subconsciously touched his forehead and frowned slightly.
He lowered his head and found himself naked and naked.
It's all crumpled skin, and there's nothing to look at.
Further down ......
Forget it, don't look at it.
On Irin's body, there was also a layer of pale green viscous liquid.
I don't know what the ingredients are.
It is probably the type of nutrient solution.
This is a secret room.
There are five eggs in the secret room.
Oh no, it's five nutrition pods.
Of the five nutrition cabins, for the time being, he was the only one who broke out of the egg.
Irin suddenly remembered the fleeting line of prompts on Jack's computer screen in the 'Labyrinth of Memory'.
"Escape ......?"
Does the hint that is too late to convey to the memory refer to escaping from one's own memory and waking up from the 'memory labyrinth'?
Irin pondered for 4 seconds before refuting this speculation.
If the quest hint after "Escape ......" refers to his own memory labyrinth, then when Irin breaks out of the egg, he should have completed the task.
This speculation does not stand up to scrutiny.
"In other words......"
Irin stared.
Boom.
Whoa—
In the corner of the secret room, in another life support cabin, an old lady, also undressed and dry, opened her eyes silently, and a large string of bubbles welled up from her mouth.
I saw her punch slam on the glass.
No response.
One more punch.
Finally, he smashed the glass of the life support cabin, and then saw Irin standing slimy not far away, a trace of vigilance and surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, and jumped down from the half-meter-high broken life support cabin.
Click.
Irin hadn't had time to remind him yet.
In the next second, the old lady was already covering her old waist in pain.
Irin only glanced at it, then turned her head away.
It's not because I'm embarrassed.
It's not because of love, either.
But...... A little spicy to the eyes.
The old lady's expression changed slightly.
She soon discovered her awkward situation.
She hurriedly reached out and covered the top, thinking that something seemed wrong, and covered the bottom again.
After a few more seconds, she was up and down with one hand, up and down.
He seems to be a little red.
But unfortunately, on the wrinkled face covered with age spots, it is really difficult to tell whether it is blush or not.
Good for a while.
The old lady saw that Irin didn't seem to be interested in her at all, and finally felt less embarrassed.
After all, don't people also stand in place openly and unconcealed?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that everyone is in the same situation, and no one has lost anyone.
"Mission?"
The old lady asked suddenly.
Irin smiled and nodded.
When making a sound, Irin's discovery was that he was really old from the outside to the inside, and even his voice was dry, completely devoid of the magnetic nature of the past.
"The same kind?"
Irin smiled, "Same. ”
"Then they ......"
The old lady turned her head to look at the other nutrition cabins that had not yet moved, and a gleam flashed in her eyes.
Bow your head and think about the content of this mission.
Now the plot is gradually becoming clear.
Five eggs, ah no, five cabins, five apostles.
Irin and the old lady broke out one after another.
What's next?
It seems so.
"Why are we like this?"
The old lady suddenly gritted her teeth and burst out of her mouth with a fierce sentence.
But then, she groaned, covered her mouth, and the wrinkles on her face were all squeezed into a lump.
- Dental acid.
"I don't know, maybe it's the plot."
Irin didn't say anything about her guesses.
The old lady didn't seem interested in saying more when she saw Irin, and she didn't continue to exchange ideas with Irin.
After all, the relationship between the apostles is complicated, and in trials, there are no absolute friends and no absolute enemies.
Everybody is just trying to survive.
So the old lady continued to cover the key parts, and then quietly hid in the darkness.
Although she has become old, no matter what, there is still a normal sense of shame as a woman, and no one wants to stand naked in front of strangers.
Irin didn't make any other moves, so as not to inexplicably arouse the hostility of the other party.
Women are creatures that are very difficult to understand, maybe the other party looks smiling and welcoming on the surface, but behind them is crazy with hatred.
In the last trial, Li Changge almost suffered a big loss because of a woman.
If Li Changge hadn't finally become a scumbag and carried everything alone, he might have been pitted by Wen Manni to the point that there was no scum left.
"Huh?"
Yi Rin squinted slightly, his eyes seemed to be a little presbyopia, or cataracts, and he couldn't see things clearly.
On one of the walls of the chamber, there appears to be a cabinet.
Irin walked over slowly.
Avoid protruding your lumbar disc too much.
The slower, the better.
It took dozens of seconds for him to finally move to the wall.
In the place where presbyopia noticed just now, there was indeed a cabinet.
The cabinet is very well made, and the gap between the door and the wall is very thin, and if it weren't for a concave handle, it might not have been noticed at all.
Irin opened the cabinet and looked at it.
Yo!
- No surprises.
……
As the old lady was clinging her hands up and down, a dark shadow was thrown at her.
She subconsciously flashed to the side.
“!”
It flashed to his waist again.
"You!"
The old lady was about to go crazy, and a fierce killing intent flashed in her cloudy eyes.
But in the next second, the black shadow fell one meter in front of her.
"I'm sorry, I'm old, and I don't have enough strength."
Irin spoke calmly.
The old lady then realized that there was a dress not far from her.
"Clothes!"
She moved towards the dress in surprise.
When I picked it up, I saw the properties of the clothes.
……
【Patient Uniform】
【Grade】None
[Durability] 50/50
Don't think too much about it, it's really just a piece of clothing that can be worn.
……
The clothes are new, there is no smell, they are covered with blue and white horizontal stripes, and the style is ...... It's hard to put into words.
But the old lady still put it on her body with joy.
After she put on this dress, she even felt happier than any fancy clothes she could buy from a designer clothing store.
Irin also donned a patient uniform.
To be reasonable, there's really nothing to find fault with.
Moreover, in the "Labyrinth of Memory", Irin also passed through.
The style is the same.
Wrong.
Something seems different.
Irin's head looked down and saw a line of writing printed on his chest.
“Arkham”。
It doesn't matter if you don't understand bird language, "Tower" quickly gave an official translation -
Arkham.
There is also a number under "Arkham".
But fortunately, it's not 9527, it's just a random number.
As for why his number is 9527 in the "Labyrinth of Memory", Irin's reasonable speculation has long been made.
Everything that happens in the "memory labyrinth" is to read Irin's shallow memories.
But perhaps it is the "defense mechanism" that comes with memory, and in the psychiatric records in the memory labyrinth, everything related to "towers", "apostles", etc., is not mentioned at all.
It's messy and illogical, that's why it's flawed.
"Arkham?"
Irin's moments didn't remember what this place was.
Maybe it's like Oniki Mountain.
It's a strange world.
Boom!
Just as Irin and the old lady put on their clothes and pants in their respective positions, another nutrition support pod also shattered.
And then...... Jump off.
No surprises......
"Ouch!"
Another old waist flashed.
Irin and the old lady had a "sure enough" expression on their faces at the same time.
The third person to emerge from the survival pod was an old man with a big belly.
The eyes are a bit small.
- Very small.
Squinted into a slit.
I don't know if it's that small, or if it's deliberately squinting and pretending to be deep.
He looked around.
Eyes finally fell on Irin and the old lady.
He smiled and covered his lower body: "Two of you...... Fellow Daoists? ”
Before he could ask, Irin slowly pointed in the direction of the cabinet, "Where are the clothes." ”
"Hey! Thank you! ”
The big belly ran forward a few steps, ouched a few times, and finally managed to get the clothes before the fracture.
The moment he touched the clothes, he seemed to see the "attributes" of the clothes, and after hesitating for a moment, he stumbled to get dressed.
Boom!
Again.
As the four nutrition pods shattered, the chamber was covered with a light layer of pale green slime.
Just past the ball of the foot.
It's a bit slippery.
Very easy to fall.
Irin even reasonably speculated that if they were not careful, even if they were apostles, they would be very likely to have a brain hemorrhage if they were "aging".
And then...... Soldier.
The fourth apostle was a tall ...... Old lady.
She looked up and silently checked the status of her surroundings.
When she saw the three of them in bright clothes, she looked down at herself again, shriveled and sagging...... Body.
He walked down cautiously.
The tall old woman didn't seem to mind her current state, and without anyone else explaining, she had seen the half-hidden door—
The big belly didn't close it tightly after taking off the clothes.
"Four."
There was an awkward silence in the chamber.
It's just that the atmosphere is awkward.
There was no embarrassment on the face of each of the apostles.
are waiting.
No one is a fool to be an apostle.
Belch...... At the very least, it's not too stupid.
Now everyone can see that it seems that only when the five apostles gather together can the next stage of the plot begin.
Four apostles, two men and two women.
Compare average.
Irin looked over at the last of the nourishment pods that hadn't yet cracked, like the others.
"Wait."
Maybe it's because I'm dazzled and my eyesight isn't very good.
Irin inexplicably felt that the person in the nutrition cabin seemed to be a little familiar.
Suddenly.
The man finally opened his eyes.
The corners of his mouth hooked up with an unfathomable sneer.
Except for Irin, the faces of the others were slightly moved when they saw this.
To be able to wake up with such an expression is absolutely human.
The last apostle didn't know what the switch had moved.
The hatch slowly opened.
The moment the hatch opened, the pale green nutrient solution in the cabin instantly poured down like a waterfall.
"Hehe......"
The last apostle smiled coldly, and used his five fingers to brush the sparse and messy white hair behind his head to form a hairstyle with a big back.
- Extremely windy.
I saw him slowly walk down from the cabin and look around, as if there was some kind of light flashing in his cold eyes.
"Old friends, I haven't seen you for many years, and I don't know if your kung fu has improved? Oh, in this world, let the old man be lonely like snow......"
The old men: "! ”
Irin: "......"
Irin was suddenly sad.
Because he found that the familiarity just now was really not an illusion, nor was it a presbyopia.
It turned out to be Pan Zhengyi!
No wonder it looks familiar!
Coincidental?
The number of apostles registered with the Tower of Death is in the four figures.
Although the random combination is related to the apostle level.
But the chance of being randomly in the same trial with Pan Zhengyi again should not be high.
Irin sighed.
After a brief moment of consternation, he quickly calmed down.
If you think about it, it's not all bad.
At the very least, Irin has an extra backup plan in case she needs it.
Pan Zhengyi's appearance shocked several other old people.
They couldn't see through Pan Zhengyi's reality for a while.
Irin silently subdued the patient and threw it towards Pan Zhengyi.
Such a move did not make others suspicious.
Pan Zhengyi didn't know if he didn't recognize Yi Rin, and didn't say a word as usual: "Yo! Juvenile. ”
At the very least, Yi Rin didn't want to expose it for the time being, and he knew about it with Pan Zhengyi.
Although Pan Zhengyi's thinking is confused, he can still do the instinct of wearing clothes.
He slacked his way and got dressed.
There was a crackling sound from the joints of his limbs, and even other people could hear it, Pan Zhengyi was expressionless, as if it was not himself but others who were hurting.
After a while, Pan Zhengyi was dressed.
The big belly squinted, smiled, and opened his mouth slightly, and was about to say something, but Irin suddenly made a silent gesture.
The big belly was slightly stunned.
He quickly realized something and shut his mouth.
Shortly after Pan Zhengyi broke the egg, 3 minutes and 23 seconds to be exact.
Suddenly.
On the wall where the clothes cabinet sit, a rectangular circle of light shines.
Bite!
After a crisp sound, the door opened.
A kind old man with a thin face, white hair, and a white coat stood outside the door.
It's—
Jack!
Dr. Jack.
The attending physician of the spiritual guy Irin.
The one who was killed by Irin in the "Labyrinth of Memories".
Irin's pupils shrank, but quickly returned to their original form.
There was no change in his expression.
Irin had already analyzed the current situation.
Under this old body, even if you can use your skills, it is difficult to do much.
This quest has a strange start, but it shouldn't be unsolvable.
With this attitude, let alone this trial, even the slightly lower level of the Ghost Fog Mountain trial can't be cut through.
Because...... The body is too fragile.
Irin had already confirmed through the "human skin" on his forehead that this trial was not a "role-playing mode" at all.
His old posture now is a body that really belongs to him.
It's not playing a character in a plot.
Other words.
This old posture is very dangerous.
The kind that is so dangerous that you will die if you touch it.
Although the health bar still shows "100%" on the panel, it is clear to anyone that 10/10 is 100%, and 100,000/100,000 is also 100%, but the difference between these two percentages is equivalent to a sea.
To be on the safe side, don't move yet.
- Don't move.
Dr. Jack smiled at the five lonely old men, "Congratulations, today's treatment is over!" Next, you're free to do your best! ”
"Self, free to move?"
The gap between the big belly's eyes opened a little, and he couldn't help but repeat it.
"Hehe, it's a pleasant post-treatment time, and you're completely free to move around."
With that, Dr. Jack happily walked away.
Only five lonely old men were left, looking at each other.
What is this?
This quirky way of opening.
Unheard.
Irin, who had been silent, suddenly asked the others, "Did you receive it...... Is that one? ”
Except for Pan Zhengyi, everyone else reacted.
What Irin said was...... Main quest.
After escaping from the "Labyrinth of Memory", no one forgets that this is in the trial scene.
As long as it's a trial, there will be a mission.
No matter how bad a task it is, it's still a task.
If not...... That's weird.
"You got it?"
The old lady suddenly reacted and asked a question.
Yi Rin didn't hesitate and shook his head: "I just asked you because I didn't receive it." ”
"Nope!"
She nodded slightly to Irin as if to convey a friendly meaning, but she didn't talk much and walked out the door first.
"Then let's develop separately, and good luck to you."
The big belly also smiled, and no one could read his inner thoughts from his eyes.
After all, the eyes are too small to see.
The tall woman glanced at Irin and chose to leave as well.
"It's cold in the heights, and it's as lonely as snow!"
Pan Zhengyi still had his hands behind his back, his head tilted, and he looked at the ceiling.
“……”
Yi Rin didn't know what kind of inexplicable role Pan Zhengyi had in COS, but in this state, Pan Zhengyi continued to toss so unknowingly, and he had a cerebral hemorrhage or high paraplegia in minutes.
Thinking of this, Irin took out "NT-046" from the storage space.
The jargon is...... Cerebral palsy tablets.
He had already taken advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and used his mental power to touch and quietly probe around.
Cameras hidden in the shadows were also discovered.
However, I don't know if it's because of the aging of the body, or maybe because of the brain atrophy caused by his age, his mental power was suppressed to the extreme, and the range was only about 5 meters...... It's uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the secret room is not large, 5 meters ...... Enough for the time being.
Irin carried the blind spot of the surveillance equipment and sent "NT-046" into Pan Zhengyi's mouth.
Pan Zhengyi's "lonely as snow" expression suddenly froze.
Pan Zhengyi slept.
Pan Xiaozheng...... Here it comes.
"?"
As soon as Pan Xiaozheng appeared, he sensed that something was wrong.
Irin quickly used the "communication function" to send a private chat.
Pan Xiaozheng's expression changed slightly.
His first reaction was......
Finished.
As soon as he grasped the "body", he felt the malice from this world.
Isn't that playing with him!
Pan Zhengyi, who has mental problems, doesn't know how to write the word "death", but Pan Xiaozheng, a "sub-personality", can write the word "death" in various tricks.
"Get in touch again."
The duration of cerebral palsy is only 1 hour.
Pan Xiaozheng didn't dare to waste time, dragged his red and painful old waist, and moved out step by step.
"OK, you're ready."
Irin also left the secret room.
At the door of the secret room, there is a sign with a light on it.
The official translator is......
[2B Treatment Room].
Is it really a treatment?
Patient Uniforms......
Treat......
Is it still that disease?
Irin remembered his own medical records in the "Labyrinth of Memories".
He thought as he walked out the door.
Outside the door is a hallway.
On both sides of the hallway, there are many rooms with open doors, each of which is unlocked.
Every now and then a sound comes from the various rooms.
While Irin and Pan Zhengyi were whispering in the secret room, the others were nowhere to be seen.
Everyone is exploring the plot in their own way.
Irin was still thinking about the half-cut text that appeared on Jack's computer screen in the labyrinth of memory.
None of the others were told?
Or is it ...... Someone is lying?
Right now.
Irin took a leisurely stroll.
Passing by a ward with the door ajar.
A cheerful voice came from behind the door.
"Hee-hee-hee...... Who am I? ”
