Chapter 597: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Qin Fen didn't stay in the world of Mechanical Ji for long, and after using Smith's virus chip to make a choice for Ava, he immediately chose to return.
Don't ask him why he's in such a hurry, because he's afraid that if he stays any longer, his discipline will be further reduced.
Although he firmly believes that he is not Lori Control, let alone a robot in the form of Lori, the temptation of Ava's 'perfect girlfriend' is too strong, and if he doesn't leave, Qin Fen is afraid that he will do something embarrassing!
Upon returning to the Cube Lounge, the familiar hint quickly emerged, and the content remained largely unchanged, except that the number of participants in the game was further reduced, and there were only about two dozen people left.
If nothing else, the winner was born out of these twenty people.
"Heh, the competition is getting fiercer." Qin Fen also felt the urgency of time, and did not stay long, so he started the challenge of the eighth level.
β¦β¦
After Qin Fen woke up, he found himself lying on a hard wooden bed, with a faint musty smell wafting in the air, as well as a faint stench.
He sat up, not in a hurry to look for clues, but carefully examined the surroundings.
The room was supposed to be a bedroom, and the decoration was very ordinary, but there was an oil painting hanging on the wall, and in the faint candlelight of the wall, the faces of the characters were hidden in a shadow, which looked a little ghostly.
There was nothing modern in the house, no electric lights, no telephones, no cement on the cold rock walls, and the faint moonlight shining through the high windows cast a lonely silver glow.
"This retro architectural style is very familiar," Qin Fen's right index finger slipped from the bridge of his nose, "If a bat flies in from the window the next moment, I won't be surprised at all......
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of sluggish and slow footsteps sounded from outside the door, coming from far and near. The sound of bulky footsteps was clear and oppressive in the dark and silent night.
The footsteps slowly approached, and finally stopped outside Qin Fen's door, and after a cold silence, a hoarse voice muttered:
"Lord, master, I am hungry."
ββ¦β¦β
Hungry your sister, Lao Tzu's pants are off, you just show me? What about the horror thriller that I said, what kind of trouble is it to suddenly have a master, am I playing the big demon this time!
Qin Fen pushed open the door, and his eyes suddenly became embarrassed.
Because of the "benevolent brother" outside, the shape is indeed too weird. It was quite tall, its head almost reaching the door frame, its eyes were large and small, yellow and green, and its chin was covered with metal hoops, which were full of scars and marks after stitching, and there was a faint stench emanating from his body.
"Huh? Frankenstein? Qin Fen's eyes were empty, "Could it be that the identity I am currently replacing is the famous Dr. Frankenstein?" β
The smell coming from this benevolent brother was still very familiar to Qin Fen, and it was obvious that the corpse was decomposing. Obviously, the other party is not a living thing.
"Master, hungry ......"
"Hungry sister, dead people don't need to eat!"
After being reprimanded, the big man was aggrieved, and tears flashed in his little eyes.
Qin Fen covered his forehead and sighed: "It must be that my script was opened in the wrong way......"
Obviously, this isn't Frankenstein, because such a stupid guy doesn't have a good relationship with being smart.
He turned back to his bedroom, and after some searching, he found a notebook. The notes are written with a quill, the handwriting is quite sloppy, and the narrative is not about daily life, but about inner monologues.
ββ¦β¦ When my father died, most of the estate went to Darcy and his sister, and I received only a few thousand pounds. Why do this to me? Is it because I'm an adopted son?! No, I'm not convinced! β
"When I was traveling in the countryside, I met Elizabeth, the second sister of the five golden flowers, why is she so charming? I felt like her eyes were like a lake, sucking me in......"
"Recently, there has been a breakthrough in secret research, and I have discovered that by feeding zombies and eating pig brains, I can spawn more advanced zombies, and they also have a natural affection for me as a feeder......"
"That's right, that's it! I want to raise an army, an army made up of zombies, fearless of death and no pain, invincible! β
"I am who I am, George. Wickhan, I'm salt for myself! β
"Huh? It's a contradiction for these names to appear here. Qin Fen looked at it with a humble eye, "If it's a pure love comedy, why would there be such a thing as zombies!" β
Darcy, Elizabeth, the Five Golden Flowers or something, it's obviously Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice", I don't read much, this little common sense still knows after all! But why do zombies appear in horror movie creatures? The sense of disobedience is slightly higher, bastard!
Qin Fen came to a dressing mirror, and what appeared in the mirror was a Caucasian man about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a red officer uniform, with golden medium-length hair tied into a ponytail behind his head, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken.
"Hmm, is the replaced character the second male lead in the original book?" Qin Fen nodded, "I don't know where the plot has come yet, but since zombies have appeared, no matter how strange the plot is, it won't be shocking......"
At this time, the belated prompt of the juggernaut finally appeared:
"Game 8: Elizabeth's Sorrows."
"What's in the game: Help Elizabeth find happiness and reject sorrow."
"Game duration: 30 minutes."
"Notes: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", this is a film that breaks through itself and challenges convention...... In short, I felt deeply regretful and worthless for the thirty dollars I contributed to the movie ticket. β
Your sister, even the notes are starting to complain! Having said that, what a strange brain hole will set the pig brain to control zombies, isn't the human brain even comparable to the pig brain! Just like garlic can deal with vampires, you only need to bring a bottle of pig brains when you go out in the future, any incoming zombie will turn into a dog wagging and begging under your pig brain!
"Master, hungry ......," the stitching monster's voice muttered.
Qin Fen covered his forehead and sighed: "I feel like a nanny for Mao!" β
Walk through the dark corridors and into the hall that has been converted into a church, and be greeted by a large group of seated ...... Corpse.
Your sister, that brother on the left, your eyes are falling out, stuff it back, bastard!
In short, in such a sacred place as the church, there is a large group of zombies sitting silently praying, no matter how you look at this picture, it is too discordant!
β¦β¦
When you go out of the gate, you will see a European medieval style.
What is your impression of medieval Europe?
Through the "Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" that I read when I was a child, as well as the countless Hollywood blockbusters I watched as an adult, modern people should have this romantic association with medieval Europe:
- Magnificent castles, knights in bright armor, fiery noblewomen, elegant and shy princesses, witches in black or purple robes, vampires hiding in cemeteries, werewolves howling in the moonlight......
Huh? Something strange seems to have gotten in?
However, in the realistic European Middle Ages, witches, vampires, and werewolves, most of the fantasy products fabricated by later generations, had to be eliminated at the first time...... Who knows if these amazing creatures will one day suddenly become interested, sprinkle a handful of strange powders on their bodies, and burrow their cats into the fireplace, and then run to the Champs-ElysΓ©es in Paris in the 21st century to buy new fashion?
In most people's imagination, the owner of the medieval castle should be a very large and beautiful castle, holding a fragrant princess, going to the knight tournament every year to show off, and occasionally going to the countryside to find a few favorite peasant girls to exercise the right of the first night, and change the appetite to fight the "winner of life" in the field......
But unfortunately, the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny. The aristocratic life of the Middle Ages was not as comfortable as one might think.
The first is the castle, this alone has disappointed Qin Fen.
Essentially, a castle is a military fortress to be defended, not a luxurious palace to show off, and not a holiday villa to enjoy life...... These fortifications, built of rock, surrounded by deep moats, and guarded by iron gates and drawbridges, were indeed intimidating to uninvited visitors peeking into the wealth of the aristocracy in medieval Europe, but they were not necessarily comfortable for their owners.
"The living conditions of this Nima are even worse than the air-raid shelter in World War II," Qin Fen roared with humble eyes standing on the street of the farm outside the castle, "To paraphrase the words of a certain North Korean diplomat, the food fed to pigs in the Celestial Empire is better than yours!" β
First of all, in order to facilitate long-term maintenance, most castles were built on steep terrain, such as cliffs, hilltops, and small islands in the middle of the river. But the synonym of the rugged terrain is the lack of transportation. If your castle is located on a rugged hilltop and looks like it looks like it's all over the world, but every trip up the hill can make you choking on the road. If there are not enough wells in the castle, it is also tiring to fetch water and transport food every day.
Secondly, in order to guard against enemy bows and arrows and stone throwers, there were few window holes in the outer walls of medieval castles, so the interior of the castle was always dark, the sun did not shine, and it was naturally very humid. In addition, the construction level at that time was not up to standard, and there were inevitably some cracks in the walls and roof, so when it rained, it leaked badly, which led to the cleaning of the castle was very problematic.
However, the concept of hygiene in medieval Europeans was also very poor, so those seemingly majestic and solemn castles were usually full of dust, cobwebs, bed bugs, fleas, mosquitoes, flies and household garbage, and I am afraid that they were not as clean as the cardboard houses of Japanese homeless people......
