Chapter 359: The Ultimate Meditation

How does Evil Immortal get to Chapter 2?

Which decks are stronger in Evil Mortal?

How can I avoid being made into a card?

Just one day after the release of the evil inscription, it quickly attracted the attention of countless players with a very high reputation.

The atmosphere of the game is brilliant - in a closed, dimly lit cabin, you're engaged in card battles with a mysterious stranger.

The process is presented in the form of a board game, where players can observe the whole situation in three dimensions, fiddle with the props on the table, and flip through the rule book from the shelf.

When you are tired of playing cards, you can get up directly from your seat, walk around the hut twice, and investigate the surrounding scenes, which has a very strong sense of substitution.

When the players were fascinated by the fun card playing process with a bit of horror elements in the cabin, they couldn't stop having a lot of questions in their hearts.

For example, in the game, whether you win or defeat Lacey, it will eventually become a card.

How should the plot move forward?

This is the kind of player who doesn't care about the plot at all, only cares about playing cards.

There are also some players who have come into contact with the decryption part of the game, but they have not been able to find a way out, and they have begun to search for guides on the Internet.

There are also some players who are more open-minded and have successfully decrypted all the keys buried in this game by themselves, in order to make more fans aware of the ingenuity of this game design, they also became model workers.

Videos such as "Three Minutes to Teach You How to Enter the Second Chapter of the Evil Inscription" and "Some Hidden Easter Eggs in the First Act of the Evil Inscription" also quickly received a large number of views on the Internet.

"It turns out that the password of the safe is in the rule book, and the page of air defense can be seen when you open it, but you didn't pay attention to it."

"I'm addicted to playing cards and can't extricate myself, and I'm too lazy to read the rule book, right?"

"This kind of taste of playing board games in the game is really emotional, and Lacey, as the illustrator of the rules, and the opponent, also does a very good job in the key places.

I thought at the beginning of the game that I had to defeat this guy, and I didn't have time to decrypt the part hahaha. ”

"In fact, as long as you can notice the password of the safe, the subsequent decryption part will be a matter of course."

"So cats aren't completely immortal, right? After being sacrificed nine times, it will become an undead cat with 3/6 of the panel, which corresponds to the fact that the cat has nine lives. ”

"Sacrificing a black goat to the Bone King can be blessed with greater strength? And this kind of operation? ”

"Feed a bug to those on the campfire, you can poison them all, and the next fire can be strengthened four times in a row! it! ”

Many players who even relied on themselves to clear the first act and successfully came to the second chapter were shocked when they saw the easter egg video.

I thought that all the hidden elements had been excavated in the first chapter, but there were still so many undiscovered mechanics and easter eggs hidden.

The feeling of discovery is simply addictive.

In the second chapter, only after completing the decryption can you fight against the Immortal Engraver in the level.

In fact, some decryption levels are still somewhat difficult, and such a strategy is also a rigid need for players.

After defeating the four Engravers, when the player chooses to replace one of the Engravers, P03's rampage gives players some understanding of the beast Lacey the Engraver who locked the player in the cabin in the first chapter.

When "I" woke up again, it was a mechanical face, a somewhat reluctant face, more like a symbolic expression made up of a few strings, emitting a faint blue light on the monitor that was the "head".

"Are you done in a daze? Ready to start? ”

The robot frowned, its constantly refreshing expression looking impatient.

In the first chapter, as the game progresses, the face of the ferret card gradually changes to the shape of a block, which is still fresh in everyone's memory.

There is no doubt that this guy in front of him is the player's old buddy.

Stoat, or P03.

And the content of the game has also changed from the pixel full map exploration and decryption game in the second chapter to the board-like mode of the first chapter.

The KP of the game has been changed from the previous Lacey to the current Stoat.

Only this time there is no table, and the high-tech P03 will not use such an old thing.

As a virtual projection map slowly unfolds in front of the eyes, the ferret tells the player what to do now.

Players need to defeat four giant robots in a city called Mestopia to complete the ultimate inscription.

What exactly is the ultimate Immortal, the ferret didn't say, in fact, the players didn't care too much.

After all, at the end of the day, there's always one thing that doesn't change at all in the process, and that's playing cards.

The game has gone back from 2D to 3D here, but the high-tech dark blue tones in front of you don't seem a good fit compared to the dark, dusky hues of the cabin.

At this point, if the player wants to stand up and wander around the cabin as they did before.

He will find that his hands have been chained to the table.

"Sit down."

The stoat warned coldly,

"I can't walk around here."

There is no way, the game can only control the villain in this virtual map, to go on a journey called "Ultimate Meditation".

Soon, the players were in for their first battle.

The rules of P03 are naturally different from Lacey's.

The game has changed from a sacrifice gameplay exclusive to the Beast Engraver to a P03-exclusive cost gameplay similar to Hearthstone battles.

The game's basic resource has also become a "container", a 0/2 card that can be summoned with a little energy.

After the player defeats the giant robots one after another, the container cards themselves can also be upgraded.

Acquire characteristics such as "electronic circuit" and "gem".

In fact, it is equivalent to the imprint of power in the first chapter.

In fact, players who have come to the third chapter feel a little tired in this continuous card battle.

The combat part of the third chapter seems to be a new system, but in general, it is also a change of soup and not a change of medicine, and a lot of cards that are very supermodels have been added.

To the disappointment of some of the players, the first chapter of the game was the most fun for everyone so far.

What drives them to keep playing now is the game's plot.

But then, a design that can make countless players wow, happened in a boss battle.

When Er Xiao was playing the third chapter with his good brothers in the live broadcast room, he didn't expect that this game would have such a show effect.

Shake the rotating handle on the right hand side of the huge machine, the battle is triggered, and P03 also downloads a compressed package called Obedient, and the battle officially begins.

[Obedient]

The emoji seems to be a little naΓ―ve and stupid boss blinking his eyes.

[I can't wait to get online]

[Can the signal be stronger]

"I've been reading it for so long, and I've always wanted to complain.,Why is this just a simple emoji.,Can't you come.、Emoji?"

"This expression is like a clear and stupid college student."

"Panda people, huh?"

After a brief silence, a green antenna device suddenly appeared above the obedient head.

After connecting to your internet.

[Beautiful!] I seem to have received a signal.]

[This...... What is it? ]

Before Er Xiao could react, suddenly, the card named "Zhuge Dog" came to the opponent's preparation seat.

Although it's a 1/1 whiteboard in itself, the vertical drawing of this card is the dark elf in the mirror, and the whole style of painting is incompatible with the whole game.

[This is...... Your friend? ]

"it!"

Erxiao's whole person was shocked,

"This game looks like I found my Steam friend through the Internet!"

Before that, no one would have imagined that a game would actually connect to the Internet, view your Steam friends, and copy their IDs.

Players who saw this kind of scene for the first time were shocked one by one.

"Pinching numbness, goosebumps are up, and it feels like the fourth wall has been completely broken."

"Endure without spoilers, Erxiao has finally played here!"

"Pinching the numbness, why is the boss here taunting me for having no friends!"

"So is Erxiao now equivalent to beating up dogs?"

The barrage was very enthusiastic.

Although I know that all the designs in this game are made from the original intention to serve the plot of the game.

But it's this kind of design that makes people want to believe that the characters in this game really have a life of their own, and they know that they are living in a game.

After defeating the four giant robots, the player returns to their original location.

The surroundings are like a remake of the previous world, and P03 sneers at the player:

"Congratulations on completing the final moment for me."

Its face made up of digital symbols looks scary and comical at the same time.

"You don't know anything about it. But now...... You should always know, right? ”

The next moment, in the display head of P03, it is no longer the facial features composed of pixels, but the lucky card god who is playing this game called "Evil Mortal" in front of the computer at the moment, Luke!

"To be reasonable, here P03's head appears in Erxiao's face, and this game is a god."

"Nima, if it's Erxiao's face, I'm going to call the police."

"Don't scare my brother."

The part about Luke.

From the small videos that Luke shot himself after defeating Lacey, the players already knew very well.

At the beginning of the story of the Evil Grave, Luke UP, who took a video for the fans, accidentally found a floppy disk called the Evil Grave, and a series of situations happened during the gameplay.

In the rest of the story, after beating the first game, Luke is curious about playing cards in the cabin in the first level.

In the process of researching information on the Internet, I found the production company of this game, "Funa".

After sending an inquiry email to Funa, he received a warning that "the company has never developed the relevant software, please return the hardware involved as soon as possible".

What's even more bizarre is that shortly after getting in touch with the company, Luke receives frequent calls urging him to return the game, and a few days later, a woman wearing sunglasses suddenly comes to the door and asks for a floppy disk to store the game.

The anomalies make Luke realize that things are not simple, and the truth of all doubts is undoubtedly hidden in the "evil moment".

It is precisely for this reason that drives Luke to continue to attack the game of evil in the game.

Finally, for now.

When Luke's face appeared on P03's monitor, he was horrified to find that the NPCs in the game, which had been strange from beginning to end, were actually alive!

Seeing himself in the game, Luke shrank back in shock, his eyes bulging like two light bulbs.

P03 said triumphantly:

"You gave me access to your hard drive, captured the game for the store, and finally you connected me to the internet just to upload it all!"

The so-called victory over the four giant robots is just a lie made up by P03 in order to gain permission!

All of this is a scam!

And while the player grants the game permission in order to clear the level, it runs the program on its own behind the scenes.

"Even if the few stupid Scarcers were left to restore the game again, by then, thousands of copies of Evil Scarve would have been circulated."

P03 Laughing,

"Inside, I'm in charge!"

As the local disk on Luke's computer expands in front of him, P03 begins to upload the game.

Seeing the progress bar grow bit by bit, players find themselves unable to do anything.

"So what's the use of uploading this evil inscription on the Internet? Can this be stopped? Is it necessary to stop it? ”

I believe this is the common thought in the minds of all players when playing until this time.

It was only through Luke's own investigation that players learned that behind Evil Inscription was a top-secret file about Funner.

In order to prevent leaks, the company's people repeatedly asked Luke for gaming hardware.

And the secret has to do with the mysterious death of Cathy Hobbs, the developer of the game's Evil Mortal......

However, just as P03 was about to finish uploading, a pair of hands reaching out from behind its back wrenched its neck, and the upload was aborted.

These dry hands like zombies are all too familiar to everyone.

This is the Lacey in the first act, when the player goes out of both candles and sticks out of the darkness to make the player into a card.

The player has been stunned by Lacey countless times, but this time, he has helped the player in turn.

With those familiar spiral eyes came into view.

It's also here that players finally get to see the 3D models of all the Engravers.

Weird and scary, but also a little handsome.

The three Engravers discussed with each other, but what they said was something that the players couldn't hear.

I can only roughly tell that everyone has a different opinion on the final outcome of "Evil Carving".

But one thing players can know is that these Engravers have gained self-awareness, and they know that they are in a game.

Manifico the Enchanter wants to reset the game so that everyone can live, and Lacey has a similar plan, presenting the "new game" icon to the player, ready for the player to restart the game according to their wishes.

Grimora, the Dead Engraver, used the storage privileges he had just gained to wipe out all software data.

Manifico has a bit of an explosive mentality, but Grimora reassures Manifico that this is the only way to achieve final relief.

A progress bar appears in the upper left corner of the game page, and just like the uninstall software reading bar, the deleted file names keep popping up.

This long plot performance, to be honest, everyone watched it quite unpleasantly in the process of playing.

Obviously, I feel that I have just had a serious encounter with several other Mortal Sculptors, but the next second I am about to usher in separation.

Grimora transports the player to her world for a final card game.

It's the same map and a game, but instead of a hologram or parchment, it's a chessboard on which the player's pieces jump, find treasures, and defeat the opponent's pieces.

The card system is as delicate and delicate as the first two Engravers.

Obviously, the game has come to an end, but there are new modes appearing, which makes players feel inexplicable.

However, it won't last long.

With the deletion of the game, the player only played two games in a hurry with Grimora, only to find that everything on the board had been almost deleted, and it was difficult for a clever woman to continue playing cards.

Grimoma stretched out his right hand to say goodbye to the player, and the "I" who had been able to make it this far earned their respect.

The next goodbye is the presence that players are most familiar with.

Lesser of the Beast Slayer, he is no longer the mysterious man sitting across the table, but as himself, he has a final farewell game against Luke, who has been playing the game.

Lacie seemed to know that he was facing a real player, and he gave the player his admiration, no more taunts and sarcasm, and he pulled out the last set of cards that I played against him at the end of the first chapter.

"It's a good deck, it's a really good choice."

Things on the table were deleted one by one.

Pliers, scissors, bells, and even the most critical prop scales.

"Don't stop, keep going. We don't need that now. ”

Even though there are no more props to judge the winner, he still wants to play cards.

At this point, the players finally realize that Lacey is just a pure card guy, he has no intrigues, no evil thoughts.

Locking players in a cabin is just a matter of playing cards, nothing more.

How can such a pure old man not make players feel sorry for his imminent disappearance? And how can you not find time to accompany him for a few more rounds?

But like the Dead Engraver, there is no time.

When the data is deleted to the point that even the cards are difficult to keep, the game has to end.

Lacey looked a little regretful, but he still reached out and wanted to shake hands with the player, and the player also reached out his hand, but when he first touched it, he disappeared with a burst of red light with a data error, leaving only one sentence:

"Good fight."

Finally, it's Manifico, the Enchander, a bit of a Yu-Gi-Oh battle board, but the rules of the game are a bit like Magic.

However, standing at the ends of a pair of towering pillars, both sides play their cards to summon heroic guards and mages from the sidelines.

The bell at the end of the round is a huge bronze bell overhead.

If the game hadn't been deleted, it would have been a lot of fun to talk to Manifico here.

It's a pity that players have no way to experience it.

The final hand didn't go through to the end, and the game had completely collapsed, with the gems and mages in a black mess that could no longer be distinguished.

Eventually, Manifico collapsed to the ground weakly, and he slowly crawled towards the player.

He stretched out his arm, which looked like a skeletal branch, to give him a final handshake goodbye.

But it's not over yet.

Luke hadn't made a deal with the three Immortals, and he hadn't erased the old data.

The reason for the birth of that game is also the reason why the Immortals have consciousness, and it is also the deepest hidden thing in this game.

[Do you want to read old data?] ]

At the end of the game, in the unclear final video recording, a deranged Luke physically destroys the Evil Mortal Floppy Disk with a sledgehammer.

After contacting someone in charge of the local newspaper, the doorbell rang.

But it wasn't a newspaper worker who came here, but a heavily armed gunman.

Luke collapsed in a pool of blood.

Is this the end of the game?

At the end of the upload progress bar, the success crossed from 90% to 100%.

Evil Grave, upload successfully!
