Chapter 19 [Ace - Gray Joker]
After a few breaths of gunfire, Chu Jiu recovered from the shock of falling from the clouds.
She had never had such a thrilling experience.
At this moment, she seemed to see a clown walking a tightrope in her eyes, and instead of fear, he grinned at the god of death in the abyss, full of mockery.
This guy played the Grim Reaper!
Crazy.
No matter how calm Chu Jiu was, he couldn't hold back the excitement and curiosity in his heart at this moment, and asked very quickly: "You... You... You already knew there was something wrong with this gun? β
She had seen two people die under this gun, but only the one in their cage had a problem?
Ji Xun shook his head with a smile and denied this statement: "No." Guns are fine. β
Chu Jiu also felt that it shouldn't be a problem with the gun, "Then you... Why can you shoot six shots? β
"The rules of the game are that you can only shoot someone once, but you don't say you can only shoot yourself once."
The corners of Ji Xun's mouth raised slightly, as if he was still immersed in the afterglow of the excitement of the roulette game.
"And as I said before, it's not just the rules of space that affect the level."
As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at the iron spikes above his head.
Time has passed, but the iron spikes have not fallen.
It means that they have cleared the customs.
Both of them cleared the customs alive.
He also cleared the level in a way that the other two cage players didn't choose.
In the blink of an eye, he glanced at the eyes of Chu Jiu on the other side who were full of curiosity, Ji Xun turned his face to look at the mechanical clown who was standing on the spot, and asked meaningfully: "Yes, Your Excellency Clown?" β
But the clown didn't respond, and watched quietly, but it seemed that the smile on its face was becoming more and more grotesque.
......
At this moment, an infinite question mark popped up on the ninth day of the first month, and he just wanted to know what was going on.
has a good impression of his teammate, and Ji Xun naturally does not hesitate to say something.
Now that he has cleared the level, he has seen everything.
He put it bluntly: "If it was just a simple roulette killing game, how boring it would be... This will make the layout appear to be very unlevel. With such an exquisite layout, how could it be possible to set such an ordinary ending. β
β...β
Chu Jiu heard this and agreed.
This extradimensional space is the most exquisite extradimensional space she has ever experienced.
If the last level is just killing people to get out, it's like... The grade fell off at once, and it was not worthy of the previous clever layout at all.
This is what the guy on the other side said before.
But how did he know about the gun's problem?
Ji Xun smiled mysteriously and slowly revealed the truth: "Do you remember that sentence, "When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you"? This is actually obvious enough to suggest that when you are staring at the evil of human nature, the evil will in turn gaze into your heart and shine on your truest self. β
Chu Jiu suddenly said: "You mean... That card? β
It dawned on her that they had killed the [Shadow Fiend] and exploded a card.
They all guessed that this was the clue to the final level.
Now it's used!
Hey... No, it didn't work!
What do these two inexplicable words have to do with customs clearance?
This guy shot himself six times in the head!
He must have found something else to dare to bet like this.
Ji Xun explained: "When I entered the mirror room before, I had a rough guess. So when I entered the iron cage and saw the layout, I guessed a few more. After listening to the rules of roulette, I completely guessed what the layout person had in mind. β
As he spoke, he grinned, his eyes shining with fanaticism: "So this final level, what I really want to test is never roulette luck." Nothing is as profound as testing human nature. β
The ninth day of the first month: "..."
I listened to all these words, but my brain didn't think she understood.
She didn't speak, or it would have made her feel stupid.
After a pause, Ji Xuncai continued: "The essence of the other-dimensional space is to pass the test and get rewards. The purpose of the level is to screen some people who meet the designer's directional characteristics in order to clear the level and get the final reward. From the previous [Broken Wall], [Witch], [Gambling Dog], [Shadow Demon], and then there are the current clown games... Eventually, you will find that those who pass through must possess some of these qualities: restraint of desire, courage, wisdom, firm faith, and perhaps... Kindness. Of course, this space is special, and it also tests some special, such as: gambler mentality, cunning, madness, and paranoia. Only adventurers who meet all of the above traits will be given final recognition. β
After a pause, he continued: "And another: "Before the dawn comes, someone must illuminate the darkness." The designer gave a final hint, the person who screened the space is the one who can make people see the light in the endless darkness. So from the very beginning, from the moment whoever raised his gun and aimed it at his companion, he was actually out. If a teammate can't die, then there's really only one choice left..."
Shoot yourself!
Only then did the ninth day realize the deep meaning of the two sentences.
That's why this guy fired six shots at himself!
There must have been some other factors in this, and she didn't think too much about it for a while, but instead thought of something else, and wanted to ask, "Before that..."
Ji Xun didn't wait for her to finish, and said directly: "Do you want to ask the old servant who fired at him a few times before, can he pass it?" β
He asked himself, "No, it can't be." He was able to get out alive, but he didn't clear the level. The greatest respect for the layout is to clear its game according to the rules of the game. We went all the way, and although we skipped some small levels, it didn't matter. And the master and servant appeared directly here, obviously taking a shortcut. They should have some special information in their hands. Brought in from the outside, not discovered by yourself in the space. Without those qualities, he won't get the final reward anyway. β
It's okay to play the game card bug and clear the level, but you will lose some necessary clues and game experience.
You can get some rewards for playthrough, but not all.
It's a given.
β...β
Chu Jiu was thoughtful.
Ji Xun also agreed: "That guy is actually very smart, and he obviously realized this, so he didn't hold a gun and stayed until the last moment." But even if he guessed, he didn't dare to bet. When you die, it's really all gone. If it were him, he might hesitate. After all, power and status are also shackles in some ways, which can make people lose their sense of adventure. It's fate, and it's not about wisdom or anything. β
......
Listening to Ji Xun sort out and explain all the level plots, Chu Jiu felt that the mixed thoughts in his mind became clear.
However, how can a normal person shoot himself six times based on these two clues?
Chu Jiu couldn't help asking, "All this is your speculation, what if you made a mistake just now?" β
"If you lose the bet, you'll die."
Ji Xun responded lightly.
The tone was calm, as if he was not talking about his own life and death.
Immediately, the face under the gas mask smiled brightly.
He looked at the mechanical clown, as if he were in a mirror.
After a pause, Ji Xun said again in a deep voice: "As far as I'm concerned... The outcome of this gamble is more attractive than death. β
These subtle levels allowed him to experience the long-awaited, sickly, extreme pleasure of reaching the high court in the skull!
β...β
She had already seen it twice, and Chu Jiu was used to it, and she knew that this guy seemed to be in that conceited and crazy state again.
"The same is true for it."
As if sensing something in the darkness, Ji Xun said again: "I made a mistake, I'll die!" But it lost! If I hadn't died, we hadn't won! It won't let itself lose! β
Chu Jiu didn't know so: "It? β
Ji Xun smiled: "That's right." To put it another way... The designer of the space? Or the will of space? The final level boss? That's what it means anyway. β
......
Ji Xun asked again, "Do you know why I'm saying this now?" β
Chu Jiu wanted to say: Didn't you say it to me?
But she immediately understood what this meant, and asked, "Why?" β
Ji Xun smiled slightly: "Because, that guy has been snooping in the shadows." β
Chu Jiu was slightly startled in his heart, and looked around: "But... If you say so, will it? β
Ji Xun shook his head: "That's what I said to it." Solving a perfect puzzle is an enjoyable experience. As the designer of the level, someone who praises his level and can understand the subtlety of those designs is a hundred times more rewarding than killing and playing those players who don't experience the thrill of the level at all. β
Chu Jiu's head was full of black lines, and his heart automatically sat down: How do you feel that the stupid player you said is me?
There was a pause.
Ji Xun looked at the weird mechanical clown again, and asked for the second time, "Yes, Mr. Clown?"
This time, the Joker responded, "Yes, adventurer. β
The corners of its already exaggerated mouth raised an arc of a smile that seemed to separate its entire face, and it added, "Congratulations, you have completed the test." β
Ji Xun also seemed to be a chess opponent, and responded: "Thank you." Very pleasant experience. β
The cage slowly opened.
The clown smiled.
Laughing and laughing, the smile gradually froze.
The already colorful paint color also quickly dimmed, as if a person had lost his life at the end of his life, and suddenly it was eclipsed.
This is where the mechanical Joker's mission ends.
At the last moment, it utters the second sentence on the card: "Someone must light up the darkness before dawn."
It was as if I heard a whisper from an ancient time.
Ji Xun listened silently and thought about it seriously.
He stared at the dead mechanical clown, and he didn't move for a long time.
.......
At this time, the enlightenment reappeared.
"You hear descriptions of darkness in whispers from the abyss, and you touch a 'miracle.'"
Ji Xun looked thoughtfully at the mediocre black card he had gotten before.
By this time, it had changed.
It turned out that the catastrophic things recorded in the archives were actually already in their hands.
This is a gray playing card.
