Humanoid Machines [Infinite] v. 28
"Why don't you laugh? Isn't this game funny? β
So Andrei laughed too.
He once suspected that he was an illegitimate child, or a wild seed of unknown origin, that would be treated so favoritously. Until the day he became an adult, he was taken into the basement.
AndrΓ© heard them describe themselves as animals to the slaughter: they had a special physique, organs that could be perfectly adapted to any race, and they were excellent donors.
His father did not lack children, but he lacked a tool to make friends with other nobles, so he raised him like an animal until his organs were mature.
The effect of the anesthetic was not enough, Andrei was awakened alive by pain, the receptors were cut and taken out of the body, and the person next to him recorded which sick nobleman was assigned to.
He died, but the resentment persisted.
In the midst of the chaos, the voice of "it" was heard.
"It" says that I will grant you a wish.
As long as you pay a small price.
Andrei's wish was granted.
He had made all those who had bullied him pay, and every part of the villa had been covered in stinking flesh, and he had gained the greatest power in his life, turning into a ghost.
Those who bullied him were made into puppets, dogs, and corpses. If the story is here, it should be the end of evil and evil retribution, but he still has to pay the price-
As the possession of the dungeon, he is trapped in the villa forever, repeating all the pain he experienced before he died, greeting the "players" who will suddenly appear in the villa, killing them with the trick game he once hated the most, until he forgets the past, forgets everything he had as a "human", and can even get more and more intense and distorted pleasure from these games, from body to mind, turning into ghosts.
It becomes a ghost that has been assimilated by a dungeon.
The thin silver card was lifted and placed on the table, and the crisp sound woke him up. Andre pulled away from his humble, embarrassing past and looked up at Yuan Yuxue.
The other party has already started this round of questions and answers, and luckily drew a joker.
Unable to exert cognitive cues, and also had no way of knowing what kind of questions Yuan Yuxue would ask, Andre faced him almost with a very negative attitude, raised his chin slightly and said, "Ask." β
The range of questions that Yuan Yuxue can ask is huge, and there are countless unpopular and unpopular questions, and if he picks out any one of them, Andre will most likely not be able to answer it. The game ends with the player camp winning. Because of this, Andre's attitude is certainly not positive, and it is very passable - it is nothing more than the player's camp clearing the dungeon without injury, which is the first time for him.
But after thinking for a long time and in silence, Yuan Yuxue lowered his eyes and said an inexplicable word, "Don't ask questions yet." Let's talk about something that is not related to the problem. β
Andrei smiled mockingly and unabashedly, "What are you talking about?" Talk about how I was a dog when I was alive, or how I was dismembered and turned into a ghost after I died? Yuan Yuxue, why is your curiosity suddenly so strong......"
"Do you regret making that deal?"
Andrei stopped for a moment. He picked up the conversation skillfully, barely perceiving the momentary pause, "Regret what? β
He said, "Yuan Yuxue, what kind of strange idea do you have? β
"Because you look," Yuan Yuxue calmly pointed out what Andrei wanted to hide, and was very good at revealing the short, "a very painful look. β
ββ¦β¦β
What Yuan Yuxue said was really just a few words, and after Andre was silent, he picked up the card again.
"My question isβ"
Yuan Yuxue's lips opened and closed slightly, but there was no sound. Yuan Yuxue was silent for a moment, probably changing her words, and asked, "Will Andre, who is now playing a quiz game with me, usher in the moment when the transaction is over and he really 'dies' one day?" β
Yuan Xuxue's voice was cold, but this sentence knocked on Andrei's heart more heavily than one word.
The questioner can't ask a question that they don't know the correct answer to.
Since the rules have recognized Yuan Yuxue's question, it proves that the answer he holds in his heart is absolutely correct-
But why did he ask such a question?
According to the rules, as long as Andre answers all two possibilities, he will definitely win this game.
But the devil sent God, Andre opened his mouth, and only said one word: "...... Yes. β
"I'm going to have the end of the deal, the moment when I'm really dead."
Yuan Yuxue raised her eyes and looked at him. That glance was extremely cold, with the unique chilling aura of Yuan Xuxue, but at that moment, Andre's non-existent heart seemed to beat rapidly, tumbling out endless hot blood-
"Hmm." Yuan Yuxue's expression was still calm, and he said, "The answer is correct." β
Yuan Yuxue was not punished by the rules. In other words, he did impartially judge AndrΓ©'s question and answer.
The questions he raises, recognized by the rules, are the final outcome.
At that moment, Andrei's blood surged, as if he could not hear anything, and the question and its answer were constantly repeated in his mind.
It sounds like a ridiculous conjecture -
It was actually a player who used a question in a quiz game to tell him that the cycle of despair that he was repeating now would end one day. Even if it is terminated by death, he wants to usher in true freedom.
The impact was probably so great that Andre flipped the wrong card in the draw and missed the joker.
One in two chances naturally fell into the hands of Yuan Yuxue.
After Yuan Yuxue got the card, she only thought about it for two or three seconds, and asked a rather unpopular and strange question.
Andrei looked at him, his face still having that negative sense of coping.
"I don't know."
In the last few seconds of the countdown, he lazily replied and added, "Congratulations, it's game over." β
It's the end in the truest sense of the word, and as a reward for clearing the player's camp, everyone can have a calm and safe night.
The steward will bring back the players who are being punished.
Yuan Yuxue stayed in the hall - given that he had just rejected the maid's offer to show him the way, he went to the room in advance.
Andrei did not linger any longer, he left the hall, the corridor was extremely cold, and the wind and snow outside the villa drifted in through the skylight. He looked through the open window and saw the clouds drifting outside.
I don't know how long I looked at it, but Andrei suddenly raised his head and stared coldly at a certain place.
"I'm going to close the deal."
Chapter 30: Tricky Game
The skeleton that pounced on it was cut off by a piece of white bone, buried in the snow, and the party bent its fingers, which were slightly dull from the cold, and looked up at the end of the villa with an expressionless faceβ
Glowing lights peek through the windows.
Curly's face was very stinky, and he kicked away a monster, and stepped on the snow in anger, and couldn't help but ask again, "Isn't the game over yet?" β
Of course, everyone knows that what Curly wants to ask is not the game, but why he hasn't seen Yuan Yuxue yet.
The rabbit sighed inaudibly, and some worry and regret welled up in his eyes.
Only Yuan Yuxue is left to face Andre......
It's hard to guarantee that there won't be any surprises.
In comparison, the punishment after their elimination is indeed not only to blow the cold wind, but also to face the countless monsters lurking outside the villa, and the bones that may be gnawed at any time are gone. But because the strength of the players is not weak, there are four people who awaken their talents alone, and the team is still the first to get out of the villa to be punished, and the danger is greatly reduced, which is not very difficult.
So far, there have been no casualties, they have not been harmed, except for the inside of the villa.
Under the influence of the anxious state of mind, the time seemed to become infinitely long, and the curly hair stepped on the snowflakes under his feet again, and the ice under him melted into a cloud of snow. Finally, he said with a dark face: "I can't wait, I'll go see ...... first"
Before he could finish his sentence, the door of the villa opened a crack, and the snow light was reflected. The butler appeared in the doorway, the black hat firmly on top of his head, and the tuxedo hanging from him as if he had just been ironed. The butler stared at the players with a blank face, and the next moment when Curly thought he was going to make a move, he bowed slightly and took off his hat.
The butler's voice rang out with a little weird tongue-curling voice: "Distinguished guests, the game is over. The host Andre asked me to take you back to the villa, and the maid had prepared clean rooms, soft beds, and fresh flowers for you. Please ask the maid for any inconsiderate or special preferences, and we will replace them for you in time. β
βοΌοΌβ Curly retracted his leg that had almost flown out.
This butler was very "polite" from the moment he met the player. But the initial attitude was very programmed and weird and stereotyped, as if it made no difference whether it was a person or a candlestick in front of him, and there was subtle malice. This will show a bit of vivid respect, and the players will be confused.
Or does the rabbit grasp the point, "Game over?" β
According to the information in the butler's words, a slightly unbelievable thought rose to her head, and she was stunned: "The one who wins is ...... Yuan Desire Snow? β
It's not that rabbits look down on newcomers, but Andre's cheating mind-reading skills make it difficult for her to imagine a way to clear the level, and whoever wins will surprise her.
The butler leaned over slightly and replied respectfully, "It's the guest." β
β¦β¦
When the players all returned to the safety of their villas, there was some disbelief.
That's it?
Or was it taken by a newcomer to lie down and win?
Even in the line, there was a very subtle and slight ...... on the normally indifferent faces Excuse me.
It's a bit of a hot face.
Curly's face was even redder, needless to say, when he saw Yuan Yuxue, who was still in the hall, he didn't even dare to look over, and awkwardly turned his face away. Just keep your ears open and listen to the conversations between other players and Yuan Yuxue.
They almost surrounded the little newcomers at once.
Glasses: "Thank you." I owe you one more time. β
Curly Comments: Indifferent, insincere.
Blackskin: "I didn't expect you to win this game against Andre, a monster NPC. Yuan Yuxue, you won't be the kind of full-level boss who opens a trumpet, right...... Is there such a service as opening a trumpet in the system? β
Curly hair sneered: I know how to pat on the back, speechless.
Rabbit: "It may be a bit presumptuous, but Yuan Yuxue - can you leave a contact information?" There will be a chance to have a quest together in the future. β
Curly: !!
He pricked up his ears.
Yuan Yuxue thought for a moment - and then took the note that the rabbit handed him, leaving something on it.
Of course, Curly couldn't overhear this kind of important information, so he just walked up to the rabbit and patted her on the shoulder, as if he took it for granted, and his eyes were full of hints.
The rabbit laughed.
Silently spoke to him and made a lip shape.
"Self, self, ask."
Curly: "......"
Of course, compared to these trivial topics, some people can't help but be curious, and ask how Yuan Yuxue won Andre -
This kind of question is related to the information of the dungeon, which may involve the player's personal ability, and is a valuable clue to clear the level.
