The gate of the castle opened again, but the outside was dark, like an asphalt curtain wall.
This is obviously not the exit of the castle, but more like the door to hell.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, with caution in their eyes. Although they all understood that this was a "game" prepared by the owner of the castle for them, no one wanted to be led around. If there was a chance to find a flaw,
They will definitely choose to kill the owner of the castle first.
"Look, that kid passed by..."
Just when everyone was hesitating, they were surprised to find Raymond walking directly towards the door with steady steps.
Although they had doubts, these people did not stop them.
They also wanted to see if it would be dangerous to walk out of this door.
Nothing happened, Raymond's figure blended into the darkness outside the door and disappeared.
Moloch frowned and said, "I can't sense his existence anymore..."
Fatty Fergo also looked solemn and said: "Now it seems that we have no other choice but to go out through this gate."
"That's the trend."
Pirate Jedla said with a gloomy face: "I have quite a bit of research on traps and traps. Here... Gee, the technological level of this castle is a bit exaggerated. Many of the traps are ones I only read about in ancient books.
The designs I’ve seen... I’m sure of one thing, the castle here is by no means a super-level one that can be forged by any force in the Black Sea! If we want to force our way out, we’d better give up the idea.”
As a notorious "noble thief", Jedla once had the "glorious" experience of successfully escaping from Tianlan Royal Prison. Since he said this, everyone was naturally a little convinced.
At this time, Jedla's eyes fell on the black crystal table, and then said: "I seem to have seen this magic pattern somewhere... It seems to be the style of the Knicks civilization..."
"If that's the case, then there's no need to think so much..."
Mary saw Raymond walking out of the door without any worries, and a strange color flashed in her crystal eyes.
She smiled easily and walked toward the gate, "You'll know if you go and see it? You can't get out anyway if you stay here..."
...
Raymond walked through the door, and the scene behind the dark curtain was naturally not the same as before he came.
He seemed to have entered the gate of another castle. Although it was not as gorgeous as the Hidden Moon Castle, the decoration was also that of a wealthy family.
At this moment, it is obvious that there is a "murder scene" in front of us.
The cashmere carpet underfoot was covered in blood, and the servant's body lay scattered on the ground.
The blood has not yet coagulated, and he looks like he has been dead for a short time.
"The murder of Viscount Garcia's family?"
As soon as Raymond saw this familiar scene, he guessed which dungeon plot he was about to face.
He looked at the system prompts, and sure enough it showed that he had entered a special scene, which was an illusion created by mental power.
The bloody scene in front of him did not worry him at all.
Because he knows exactly what will happen next.
Thinking of this, he was not in a hurry to explore the plot,
Instead, I chose to make some small attempts.
"The items in the package are also usable..."
Raymond took out a musket and fired a shot casually. The flames, ballistics and smell of gunpowder were all normal.
He was very curious about the principle of this false scene created by mental power. The scene was obviously created by the owner of the castle, and the musket he took out of the package in his hand was definitely not a real thing, but created by his own consciousness.
Although this situation is the same as in the game, the game is just a setting. In the real world, existence must have its own principles.
"So...the essence of illusion is to create something that can be understood within the scope of one's cognition? When you think about it, it becomes real? I know there is a musket in the package, so I can take it out?"
He frowned and pondered for a moment, and probably had some guesses. He mentally muttered: "What if it doesn't exist? For example...change into an apple?"
Raymond imagined that he could use fantasy to conjure an apple in his hand... but it seemed to fail.
Maybe, the way to open it is wrong?
He pondered for a moment and decided to confirm an idea.
He took out a piece of paper and wrote a paragraph on it: "My first self-hypnosis, trying to make myself believe that there is an apple in my hand..."
After Raymond finished writing, he put the note in his pocket, then took out a shiny silver pocket watch, used hypnotic suggestion on himself, and mumbled: "There was an apple in my package.
, red, exuding an alluring aroma..."
He wanted to try to see if this spiritual illusion was the same as the dream, in which he was the creator.
If the confirmation is correct, then... he may have really understood the nature of illusion!
...
After a while,
"Huh? This apple is quite delicious..."
Raymond took a bite of the apple in his hand. He didn't even think about the "fruit" in his hand. Everything was taken for granted, as if he was not surprised at all why his eyes suddenly appeared in this room full of corpses.
.
At this time, when he put his hands in his pockets as usual, he suddenly touched a few pieces of paper, his face instantly became very strange, and he vaguely remembered something...
"Second self-hypnosis, trying to make myself believe that there is a banana in my hand..."
"I have a half-bitten banana in my hand now. The second time...oh, wrong. After reading the note, it must be the third time...I tried to hypnotize myself and imagine that there was a pear in my hand.
..”
"I have pears in my hand now... I tried to hypnotize myself, and a naked Mary appeared in front of me... Hypnosis failed... Self-analysis failure reasons 1. Insufficient mental power, 2. Not skilled enough in hypnosis, 3.
I don't know enough about the idea of 'Mary without clothes'... Next time, I will try to hypnotize myself with another magical musket... Obviously it failed again..."
"..."
"The eighth failure... I roughly came to the conclusion that I can definitely 'cognize' creation. But now I can only gain cognition through hypnosis of creation and get familiar enough things within the scope of cognition... I came to a rough conclusion,
In the spiritual fantasy world, the level of creation is limited by the strength of mental power and cognition... Finally, try the apple again, let yourself see the note, and stop being curious about doing this boring 'turning into fruit' attempt... because of the plot
It's about to start..."
Raymond read the contents of the note carefully, and then saw that the apple in his hand disappeared immediately, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.
"Subconsciously, I firmly believe that the apple in my hand will only exist... Once I realize that this is illusory, it will disappear? That's why I hypnotized myself like a chuunibyou before, in order to numb my subconscious and expire myself.
?Tsk tsk...Is this the essence of illusion?"
Sure enough, the highest level of deception is to deceive oneself, and even believe it!
Raymond suddenly seemed to realize something, and became more and more curious.
He felt that as long as he understood this, he would have some means of resistance if he fell into other illusions in the future.
However, he turned around and looked at the hands on the clock in the room, looking a little strange.
"Sure enough, you know yourself best... If it weren't for the note I wrote to myself a few minutes ago, I would probably have tried a few times out of curiosity..." Raymond pursed his lips, and finally suppressed the feeling in his heart.
A burning curiosity.
...
If he didn't know what the plot of "The Shock of Destruction" was, he would probably be frightened to death if he didn't get killed by the plot.
This is the top three decrypted plots in the game that were known as the "Top Ten Horror Plots in the Black Sea", with an eight-star danger index and a ten-star terror index!
At this moment, the old butler's voice sounded again, "Find out the real culprit who destroyed the family of Viscount Garcia and pass the test successfully."
"The tasks are the same as in the game..."
Raymond raised his eyebrows, looked at a room on the second floor, and then returned his gaze to the first floor.
This is a quite large castle, with an artificial garden in the backyard facing the sea. There is a huge cherry blossom tree in the garden, and there is a doll with a severed head tied to the branch.
These are all clues, related to the evaluation of the entire plot. The more carefully you observe, the easier it will be to pass the level.
"There is no difference between the scene and the game... There are no deviations in the position and traces of the corpse..."
Raymond wandered around the room roughly.
According to normal procedures, players entering this scene will check the wounds of these corpses one by one, and then find that they were all cut with a knife. Players who are more careful can also deduce from the location of the wounds that the murderer is not very tall.
, and from the expression on the body of the fat maid in the kitchen, it can be inferred that the murderer is an acquaintance...
Raymond looked through the body carefully like a completely unaware detective.
He already clearly knew the subsequent development of the plot, and it stands to reason that he could expose the real culprit directly through the copy. However, he had suffered too much in the past by changing the plot at will. For this kind of decrypted supernatural copy, the best way is to follow
Explore the development of the plot, and changing the plot randomly may cause unknown variables.
In order to prevent players from taking shortcuts because they are familiar with the script, the game officials set up a very abnormal procedure.
The difficulty of the game will decrease with the development of the plot... which means that as soon as the player enters the dungeon and directly creates the real murderer, then the difficulty of this boss will be several levels higher than the player's current level, which will directly trigger the death plot.
If Guaiguaidi goes through the terrifying process set up by these "directors", then the difficulty of the final boss will be reduced to a level similar to his own.
Raymond guessed that it should be similar in reality.
"Dong dong dong..."
At this moment, a strange sound came from the kitchen, as if someone was locked in the cellar and was smashing the cellar door with an ax or something like that.
"Clang!" The sound of the wooden cellar door being cracked sounded like someone was about to rush out from inside.
This sudden sound made the atmosphere suddenly tense.
In the game, players now have two choices. The first is to directly face a madman with an ax covered in blood who looks like a murderer. Kill him or be killed.
The second option is to go upstairs and find a room to hide, which will trigger another plot direction...
Raymond chose the second option.
In order not to appear too calm, he gradually fell into the role and ran up to the second floor in a panic. Even though he knew that the doors were locked, he still pretended to be nervous and turned the door handles one by one.
.
Finally, he opened a room, rushed in, and locked the door's copper handle with his backhand.
The room is covered with pink curtains, and the dressing table is filled with various dolls. It looks like a girl's boudoir.
There was a big pink bed in the middle of the room. On the bed was a shivering little girl, blond and blue-eyed, who looked petite and pitiful. She hugged her legs and huddled on the bedside, with a frightened look on her face.
When Raymond saw this little girl, his eyelids twitched unconsciously, and he thought to himself: "I said that the rampaging loli outside looks so familiar, she is really this little girl... It seems that this 'family murder case' scene is based on her terror
Made of memories..."
Little girl: "Uncle...I'm so scared..."
"Little girl, don't be afraid! With uncle here, no one can hurt you..."
He walked over and spoke the most reasonable comfort dialogue that a player has ever tried in the game.
If you were an average cautious player, you would definitely think that such a little girl might be suspicious when she sees a stranger instead of being cautious but asking for help...
Of course, it was originally true, this girl was the murderer of the family.
But when you picked up your weapon and pointed it at the little girl, congratulations, you triggered the boss's enraged state, and the battle began...
However, you will be disappointed to find that the boss Loli who is two levels higher than you cannot be killed at all, and she will not kill you immediately... but activates the "chase mode", and then hide and seek.
Repeated cycles of being frightened... When you go to the toilet, a hand will be stretched out to wipe your butt. When you hide in the cupboard, your wet hair will get tangled in you. When you look in the mirror, you will see a ghost behind you.
..
This little girl is just too bored. She wants to find people to play with her, and then see them scared to death. This is her greatest pleasure.
Raymond looked like a weird squid. He sat down next to the little girl, patted her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, uncle will protect you..."
Then, he asked the key words that promote the plot, "What happened?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The little girl cried, telling a story that Raymond already knew was a lie.
Of course, the game is more intuitive and comes with a scary nursery rhyme.
"I also had a family once upon a time,
And dear parents,
One day my father was drunk,
Picked up the ax and walked towards my mother,
Dad, oh dad, he chopped it down many times,
The red blood dyed the wall red,
Mom's head rolled under the bed..."
The little girl finished telling the story, and then there was the sound of an ax pounding on the door again...
Then the little girl threw herself into Raymond's arms, trembling and said: "Uncle...I'm afraid..."
"Don't be afraid..."
"Uncle, I feel like something is moving under the bed..."
"What? Let me take a look..."
Raymond lowered his head and lifted the sheets, and stuck his head under the bed.
Logically speaking, people who don't know anything must have been extremely nervous at this moment. They would think they saw a bloody thing like a human head, and then... when there was no human head, they would suddenly breathe a sigh of relief.
However, they will still see a little girl curled up and shivering under the bed. Of course, she is exactly the same as the one on the bed.
Then his expression became tense again, because the little girl on the bed had climbed onto his back.
Sure enough, Raymond saw the little girl under the bed. She pointed to her head and said in horror: "Uncle... there is a monster on the bed..."
Obviously, one of the two must be a monster.
Raymond knew that when he turned around at this moment, he would definitely see a terrifying face that would scare him to death.
He was stunned for two seconds and didn't know what he thought of. He took out a black iron rod from the package with his backhand, inserted it directly into the little head lying on his shoulder and gave it a hard hammer!
"Bang!"
I received a solid thud from a stick on my forehead.
Raymond ignored the strange scream behind him and without looking back at all, he directly picked up the little girl from under the bed.
This girl has a dual personality. The one under the bed is normal, and the one just now is the murderer. Of course, they share one body, and the other is just an illusion.
He didn't look back and see the terrifying personality, so he didn't trigger the boss's anger reflex.
When Raymond put the little girl on the bed, the other one naturally disappeared.
This is the trickiest method that players have tried in the game, and it can save a lot of trouble.
Then, the plot came as promised, blood flowed out of the closet opposite the bed...
Raymond opened it and calmly took out a headless female body, which was little Loli's mother.
If he showed fear when he opened the closet, then the little girl behind him would immediately change into a scary personality, and then go on a rampage... and the plot would go too far...
Obviously, Raymond will not give her a chance to change her personality. Because of that terrifying personality, the more fearful a person is, the more excited she will be, and the higher the chance of appearing.
The next step is to trigger the plot of finding the head of a female corpse...
Only when the head is finally found, the girl's normal personality will suppress the terrifying personality and the level will be cleared.
Raymond always avoided the madman with an ax outside the door, and then successfully found a shovel with fresh soil. He followed the traces of footprints to the cherry blossom tree in the garden, then dug out the head and climbed back in.
Room.
At this time, the normal little Loli saw the heads, and then remembered that she had killed the whole family. She successfully passed the level while screaming in pain...
In the game, this is the highest-rated way to pass without having to fight any boss head-on.
As far as this plot is concerned, it seems that Raymond passed easily. Anyone who is unfamiliar with him will definitely be scared to death. Moreover, unless the strength can overcome the terrifying personality of the lolita (1-n times his own strength,
It weakens as the plot progresses), otherwise the plot is full of traps and you will definitely escape death.
Raymond didn't know what would happen if he died in this illusion, and he didn't take the risk.
After clearing the customs, he opened the door of the Viscount's Mansion, walked out, and returned to the splendid banquet hall.
"Huh? There is someone who has passed the level before me?"
Raymond looked at the black round table. The fat man Fergold, who represented "Gluttony", was already sitting upright on the iron chair.
