Chapter 011: The Sea of Phantom Trees Six
"Oh, what do you want to do with a mirror?" Seeing Zhen Shifeng holding a dressing mirror in front of him, arranging his hair with his empty hands, the executioner was a little puzzled.
"A handsome man like me, who was born with a handsome face, is naturally a firm believer in 'blood can be shed, head can be broken, but the hairstyle can't be messed up'." Zhen Shifeng paused slightly, as if he remembered something, so he explained again: "I just want to die handsome, don't look at me with that kind of look, uh...... It looks like the sack on your head isn't holed. ”
"Whatever you want to do, be quick, my time and patience are limited." The executioner directly ignored Zhen Shifeng's ridicule, and instead walked to the two guillotines behind him, only to hear a stumbling sound, and the two terrifying guillotine blades were slowly raised.
Seeing this, Zhen Shifeng took the opportunity to activate the second function of the multi-functional vanity mirror (the cooldown time has ended), and a string of attribute words suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:
[Name: Butcher of Death]
[Type: NPC]
[Force: Neutral]
[Combat power: infinite; Threat Level: Very High]
[Weakness: None]
[Purpose: Responsible for the decapitation of the River Styx]
[Hint: In front of the Death Butcher, you have only one way to die, and if you resist being killed, you will lose a random item in your backpack]
"Infinite combat power? Nima, this is a bug! After reading the text, Zhen Shifeng almost threw the vanity mirror to the ground, "Is my choice wrong?" Is it the right thing to do all the way along the riverbank? ”
The Death Butcher in the distance didn't seem to notice Zhen Shifeng's small movements, he first tied the hemp rope on the guillotine blade, and then shouted: "Hurry up and come over after you kid finishes taking pictures, don't rub it off, it's time for my dinner!" ”
"Alas, it seems that this is a mortal ending, and it is really heart-stopping to think that my reputation has been ruined here." Zhen Shifeng stuffed the vanity mirror back into the space backpack, and then walked to the guillotine with no interest. Looking at the bright guillotine, he couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of spit, after all, the taste of beheading is not pleasant (Zhen Shifeng once experienced the process of being beheaded in "True Lies", and he offered to try it at that time, but the result was ...... This life is unforgettable).
However, when Zhen Shifeng pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring and slowly walked to the two guillotines, the Death Butcher spoke: "Boy, before the execution, there is something I want to remind you. ”
"Hehe, Your Excellency, please speak." Zhen Shifeng suddenly put on a bitter gourd face and replied.
"As you can see, there are two guillotines here, but they have different functions, one of them will send people to heaven, and the other will drag people to hell. So......" Death Butcher paused slightly, then made a 'please' gesture, "here you need to make a choice, choose one of the guillotines, you can go to heaven Gujia, but if you are unlucky, you will go to hell." ”
"Uh...... That one...... Weakly ask, can I choose neither? ”
"If you don't choose either, I'll screw your head off myself."
“…… Well, I was wrong. Although Zhen Shifeng asked half-jokingly, he was quite interested in the 'heaven' and 'hell' mentioned by the Death Butcher. In other words, this seemingly mortal ending is actually a hidden mystery, from another point of view, maybe the 'heaven' means to get out of the illusion, and the 'hell' represents the gameover, and you need to make a choice between the two, but the premise is that your luck is good enough.
"I'm pretty confident in my character, but then again, is it really just a probabilistic choice? Could it be ......"
"Boy, what are you muttering again, it's not easy to choose one of the two, do you need to think nonsense here?" The Death Butcher looked quite impatient, only to see that he deliberately straightened the burlap bag on his head, then pointed to the guillotines on both sides of his body, and scolded in a very cold tone: "I will only give you one minute to think about it, whether it is left or right, you can choose for yourself." ”
However, as soon as the Death Butcher's voice fell, Zhen Shifeng suddenly pointed to the guillotine on the right side, and said solemnly: "I have already chosen, this is it." ”
The Death Butcher was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Zhen Shifeng to make a choice directly without even thinking about it, "Well, so fast? You don't think about it anymore? If you don't have enough time, I can give you two more minutes. ”
"Please, didn't you keep urging me to hurry up just now, why have you become such a mother-in-law now?"
The "........." Death Butcher was really stunned by the other party, and the contrast in his attitude before and after was indeed easy to make people suspicious. But within a few seconds, he slapped the sackcloth head and laughed unscrupulously: "Haha, your kid's tone is really not small, but I seem to be a little hesitant, but what is the reason for you to choose the right one?" ”
"Would you believe me if I said it was a man's instinct or that I was in the right eye with it?"
"Of course you do, but how can you be sure that your instincts are correct?" With that, the Death Butcher came to the guillotine on the right and held the body on the guillotine blade tightly in his hand, "Since this is your choice, let's try it now." ”
The Death Butcher's tone was a little weird, which made people wonder in their hearts after hearing it, if it were ordinary people, they would have changed their choice because they were afraid of it, but Zhen Shifeng came to the guillotine with confidence, and naturally stretched out his neck and put his head under the guillotine, and said with a smile: "I hope Your Excellency's guillotine is sharpened fast enough." ”
"Huh? You're not scared at all? Or do you simply not care if you go to heaven or hell? ”
"Life and death depend on fate, wealth is in heaven, how can I, a mortal, control the arrangement of heaven? As for going to heaven or going to hell, hehe, in fact, I feel that hell is more fun. ”
Hearing this, the Death Butcher suddenly had an inexplicable sense of fear for Zhen Shifeng in front of him, which came from the other party's self-demented and uninhibited words and deeds, which seemed to be unorganized but secretly scheming. It reminded him of the supreme god who had ruled the entire underworld on his own, and the only most terrifying enemy who had ever terrified the Butcher of Death, and he would never forget it in his life.
"Although my hands of the Death Butcher are stained with the blood of countless humans, your blood is the last thing I want to touch, do you want to know why?"
"Uh...... Why? ”
"Because ......" The Death Butcher whispered slightly to Zhen Shifeng's ear, "We'll meet again soon!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the huge guillotine swept through the cold air and roared down. Zhen Shifeng, who was lying on the wooden case, closed his eyes tightly, breathed rapidly, and his back was already soaked with sweat. There was a burst of pain in the neck that penetrated into the marrow, and the terrible sound of cervical vertebrae breaking sounded in my ears. The red line gushed, the blood flowed like an infusion, and when the guillotine fell to the ground, the body of the victim was separated and the person was completely broken, and then the spiritual veins dispersed, and finally the soul returned to another place.
"Hell? Heaven? Isn't that obvious? When Zhen Shifeng opened his eyes again, the surrounding scene had changed into the appearance of a phantom forest, which also showed that his choice was correct.
But having said that, in the previous choice, Zhen Shifeng neither relied on intuitive judgment nor speculation, but really reasoned out.
Strange, this kind of thing can also be reasoned? But for Zhen Shifeng, who is delicate in observation and quick thinking, it is not a problem at all. In fact, although there was no difference between the two guillotines, he noticed a large amount of irregular blood stains on both sides of the guillotine's wooden case. There is no doubt that the blood on both sides was gushing out of the victim's head and neck when he was decapitated. Generally speaking, the amount of blood gushing out of the head is much less than that of the neck, so the blood stain area on both sides of the wooden case will show a situation where one side is larger and the other side is small.
But the fact is that the guillotine on the right has a large blood stain on the side near the cliff and a small inside side, and the guillotine on the left is the opposite. This shows that all the victims who choose the guillotine on the left side of the guillotine are head-headed and foot on the edge of the cliff, and when the guillotine falls, their heads will roll directly to the bottom of the cliff and fall into the river of blood, while the victims on the right guillotine will fall to the cliff and stay on the ground, the two are completely opposite.
Recalling the scene when I first entered the illusion, countless heads falling from the sky were cut off from the sky, and their lips and ears were cut off, and the image was horrible, which was obviously the end of hellish torture. From this, it can be judged that the guillotine on the left is the death machine that actually sends people to endless hell, while the guillotine on the right can make people ascend to heaven and thus escape the illusion.
"Huhu, this Blood River Fantasy is simply perverted in terms of visual impact and plot setting, I'm afraid that only a god-level player with a strong will and full of confidence like me can successfully clear the level." Zhen Shifeng kept putting gold on his face while talking to himself, anyway, no one else around heard it, even if it was based on the thickness of his skin, he wouldn't care at all.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly came out of the bushes behind him, Zhen Shifeng immediately turned around and jumped back a few steps when he heard the sound, and the military shovel in his backpack was also held in his hand for the first time.
"Don't be nervous, I'm a smoker!" The immature and familiar voice sounded, and after the black shadow gradually solidified, Zhen Shifeng realized that this person was indeed a curling girl.
"I said little beauty, can you say hello in advance before you come out, I'm so scared that I almost peed my pants."
"Hehe, I said that I scared you, then didn't the things in your hands also scare me?" As he spoke, he pouted and pointed to the military shovel in the other party's hand.
Zhen Shifeng was slightly stunned, then glanced at the guy he was holding in his hand, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Nima, this is the legendary military shovel?" ”
