Two opposite metal doors opened in front of Su Xiao. The silver-gray doors were made of unknown metal. They were not only indestructible, but also had a deep and cold feeling coming from the deep sea.
As the door of the ward opened, Su Xiao saw darkness inside the door, and strands of cold mist drifted out along the door. In the darkness ahead, purple spots flickered on and off, as if blurring the boundary between reality and nightmare.
The mystery and terror of nightmares also make people feel ominous from the heart.
Madness that has almost turned into reality is approaching. Without strong willpower, there is no qualification to step into the 'purple-black nightmare' ahead.
Su Xiao had experienced this kind of nightmare once before in Yongwang Town in the Sand World. That time he fell asleep at a fixed location in Yongwang Town and entered the nightmare Yongwang Town, where he also met Brother Pig.
Seeing swollen eyes, etc.
In principle, "Nightmare·Castle Ward" and "Nightmare·Yongwang Town" are similar, but also fundamentally different.
Both of these places require the consumption of sanity points to enter. This is the "ticket". After entering, the sanity points will continue to decline. These are the same points.
The difference is that the Nightmare Castle Ward is directly connected to reality. As long as Su Xiao takes a step forward, he can walk into the darkness ahead, that is, enter the ward.
This situation is very scary. There is almost no boundary between nightmare and reality. You don’t need to enter the dream first to enter the nightmare.
Inferring this, if you enter the Nightmare Castle Ward, it is not your mental body that enters, but Su Xiao's entire person.
Entering the Nightmare Castle ward requires 430 sanity points. Su Xiao's current sanity points are 429/495 points. If you choose to enter, you will immediately transform into a beast and die instantly.
If Su Xiao replaces all five pieces of the Sun Church suit, the sanity value can be increased by 50 points, reaching the upper limit of reputation of 545 points.
Su Xiao's existing [Sun Head Bucket] and [Church Knight Bucket] are both good things. One increases one's own sanity by 50%, and the other reduces one's sanity but increases resistance in this area.
The [Sun Head Bucket] lent to Morey and Moon Apostle involves many issues, and I will have to have a good talk with Morey and Moon Apostle later.
Su Xiao closed the door to the ward and walked back to the room with the brand on the door. It was the safe room, the place where the person was notarized by the Paradise of Reincarnation.
Passing by Room 5 along the way, there was a knock on Room 5 from the inside.
Dong Dong, Dong~
The last knock was very hard.
"It's you. How are you? Have you been to the desert?"
An old voice came from inside the door. The voice was hoarse and weak. Then, the old man behind the door began to cough dryly. He seemed to be suffering from tuberculosis. He wanted to cough his lungs into pieces, and then cough out all the pieces.
Willing to give up.
"Hoo~, hoo~," Old Man No. 5 breathed calmly after a moment, and he said: "It's an old problem, don't worry about it. Since you have been to the desert, you must know something about the dynasty."
"..."
Lidya Su didn’t answer.
"Why doesn't a strong man with a sword speak? Oh, that person must have said bad things about me. It's ridiculous for someone as noble as her to smear a prisoner like me, isn't it? It's just as ridiculous as this world and the Ji Kings.
This is an inevitable fate. It is obviously a problem with the ink, but it is ridiculous to tear the canvas into pieces."
Old man No. 5 smiled lowly. After a while, he found that Su Xiao still didn't speak and didn't care. He said to himself:
"Things born out of evil, they hope to bring light. It is darkness. The origin of all colors is black. Without black, there is no white. Without darkness, there is no light. Darkness... will inevitably bring madness.
, blood, beast, isn’t this interesting.”
After Old Man No. 5 finished speaking, he became silent and even the sound of breathing disappeared.
Su Xiao looked at the door for a moment. The eldest lady reminded her before that she should ignore old man No. 5.
Note that it means to ignore it, rather than not to believe it or to be careful about Old Man No. 5. What the eldest lady means more is that negotiating with Old Man No. 5 will bring unimaginable dangers, but this danger should not come from 5
No. the old man himself, but the information he gave.
The eldest lady is the neutral unit of the Void Tree and the double notarization of the Reincarnation Paradise. All the fragments of the painting were submitted to her. Even if the origin is mysterious, if you compare the eldest lady with old man No. 5, the eldest lady must be more credible.
Su Xiao is in a lot of troubles now, with Sunbird Taihakak being the most difficult problem, followed by Raven Girl of Arcane Eternal Star.
According to the information revealed by Lilim, Crow Girl is an alien from the Arcane Eternal Star. She is not a spell caster, but was trained by the caster sect to eliminate dissidents.
Some dangerous and disgraceful matters are handled by Crow Girl. After killing someone, she will not deal with the scene, and will even leave someone alive so that the matter can be publicized.
This is a subtle expression. This is the result of offending the Arcane Eternal Star. What is more subtle is that Crow Girl is the 'prisoner' of the Arcane Eternal Star. She can represent the Arcane Eternal Star but cannot represent the Arcane Eternal Star.
.
To put it simply, she carries the dishonorable side, which she did by escaping from prison. At the same time, it can also let those who are ready to take action know that this is a method from the Arcane Eternal Star.
When Crow Girl is allowed to fight this time, Arcane Eternal's claim to the outside world is that Crow Girl performed well in prison, and this time is to give her an opportunity to redeem herself. In fact, everyone knows that it is because Crow Girl can fight.
, what kind of prisoner, this is the killer girl trained by Arcane Eternal Star.
It's not clear whether that side is here or not. Compared with that side, Su Xiao wants to know who else is in the two new camps coming in this time, besides Brother Shui from Death Paradise.
Not to mention other things, the new guy who came in is simply out of control. Even Shengdan City is in such a state. This person has never shown up. He/she is even worse than the Moon Apostle.
In addition to the ward door and ceiling cover, there are seven doors on the left and right sides of the asylum hall. Among the seven doors on the left, door No. 7 has been opened, and Caesar was inside.
Su Xiao just took a look at the situation in room No. 7, which was about 6 square meters in size. Except for a hole in the wall, there was nothing else worthy of attention.
There was a man kneeling in room No. 6. Su Xiao had just knocked on the door before, and the tenant knelt down with a thud inside.
Needless to say, there is no need to say more about Room 5. This old man is full of suspicions.
Room No. 4 is occupied by Brother Fierce. Brother Fierce has a ferocious voice, but is actually very timid. With that fierce voice, some people believe that he was so frightened that he peed his pants.
There was a little girl in room 3. Su Xiao cried and whined as soon as she knocked on the door and ignored her.
The man in room 2 is a slippery man, a bit cunning, but he is just a common man, not a treacherous or evil person.
The last room, No. 1, is the one in the room called Sister Knife. She is so called because of her frightening voice. It is easy for people to imagine a girl with disheveled hair, sunken eye sockets, and wearing loose clothes.
A woman in her 30s wearing a robe, holding a knife, and she was a bit neurasthenic.
Based on Su Xiao's experience in reaching the eighth level and dealing with many aboriginal people, the three tenants No. 1 (Sister Knife), No. 2 (Slick Man), and the old man in Room 5 are the most likely to know something.
Su Xiao came to the door of Room 1 and knocked on the door. A few seconds later, a sound came from the door.
"It's you. Didn't I tell you to go away and stop bothering me?"
Bang.
A table knife pierced the door panel, exposing one third of it, which surprised Su Xiao. The door was blessed by an unknown energy, making it extremely difficult to destroy. Compared to this table knife, it was very special.
The knife lady had a bad temper. Su Xiao used his two hands to hold the front half of the pierced knife. As soon as he touched the knife, he felt a coldness that penetrated into his bones. This feeling was...
Nightmare! Yes, only metal utensils in nightmares have this kind of touch.
After holding the knife between two fingers for a few seconds, Su Xiao felt a pulling force between her fingers. Judging from the knife lady's voice inside the door, she had used her full strength.
"open!"
The dining knife sister roared. After hearing this, Su Xiao released her index and middle fingers, and the dining knife was withdrawn with a swish.
Boom~
The sound of his head hitting the ground came from inside the door. In order to pull out the knife, the knife lady must have held the handle of the knife with both hands, maybe both feet were on the door. Su Xiao suddenly let go, and the knife lady must have moved backwards.
He leaned forward, and then the back of his head hit the ground with a thud.
Soon, Sister Dian Dao's painful groans with trembling sounds came from the inner door. It can be imagined that she must be lying on the ground, holding the back of her head with both hands, and her body gradually arched into a prawn.
After calming down for a while, the dining knife lady yelled angrily and stabbed the wooden door with her dining knife. However, after a few stabs, the room opened with a creak.
Su Xiao saw a disheveled figure standing in the door of the dim room. The knife in her hand was hidden by her hair, and she only showed one eye, one eye that was extremely frightened.
The atmosphere was so embarrassing that it was suffocating. It was like a keyboard pianist who had just 'played' a world-famous song on the keyboard and scolded netizens until they were bloody. When he turned around, he saw that the netizen he had just scolded was
The guy sitting next to him in the internet cafe could reach out and hit him.
Bang!
The door was closed, and there was a panicked sound of locking the door. Although Sister Dian Dao closed the door quickly, Su Xiao saw the situation in her room.
Sister Dian Dao's room is not small, about 80 square meters. It has all kinds of facilities, and there are gauze curtains around the bed. In addition to these, Su Xiao also saw a lot of hanging clothes.
Those clothes obviously did not belong to Sister Dian Dao. A small piece of sunshine stone was placed near the clothes that had been washed but not yet dried. The sunlight that came through could gradually dry the clothes.
Judging from the styles of these clothes, they look very much like...the eldest lady's clothes? Thinking about it this way, Sister Dinggao should be a servant of the eldest lady.
"Can all six of you tenants open the door from the inside?"
Su Xiao asked, and there was silence behind the door for a few seconds before replying: "Only I can, I am not a tenant, I am the eldest lady's servant."
Sister Dian Dao is very qualified as a keyboard warrior. After the door opened unexpectedly just now, her voice was soothing and peaceful.
"I just opened the ward door."
Su Xiao was testing. He had just seen many bottles and jars containing medicine, old-fashioned syringes, infusion poles, etc. in Sister Dian Dao's room.
"Did the eldest lady tell you the secret code? Tell me the first half to prove that you know it."
"14, these are the third and second digits from the bottom of the code."
"14... Well, that's right. The password is not needed yet. Now it is enough for you to have the password. Remember, you must use the password before entering the fourth picture, otherwise the meaning of getting it will be lost.
.”
After hearing what Sister Dinner Knife said, Su Xiao sighed in thought. Sister Dinner Knife looked fierce, but in fact she was not malicious. She was more pretending to be a hedgehog to make her look untouchable. The knife in her hand was stabbing the door the whole time.
For people who seem to be in the chaotic camp, but are actually in the favored camp, physical negotiation can have a phased effect. If you negotiate later, it will be difficult to continue the negotiation unless [Endless Darkness] is waiting. The eldest lady helped drive them away before.
Sunbird Taihakak, Sister Dian Dao is the servant of the eldest lady, and there is something wrong with the physical negotiation.
"Open the door."
Su Xiao continued to test, and if it didn't work, she could only negotiate physically.
Sister Dian Dao hesitated for nearly half a minute before opening the door a crack, gradually opening it from the width of a finger to the width of a fist. Su Xiao threw something in through the crack of the door.
"ah!!"
Sister Dian Dao screamed. If she didn't know this, she would have thought that what Su Xiao threw in was Apollo.
After a few seconds, the room behind the door calmed down. What Su Xiao just threw in was the [Warm Sun Stone]. He got 492 of them from the Sun Church. It doesn’t hurt to use one now.
For the people in the castle, the [Warm Sun Stone] is a rare treasure. There is only one castle left in the world of the main painting. Outside is the purple-black semi-fluid rushing past, and the sun has long been gone.
The Sun Stone in Sister Dian Dao's room was not only of low quality, but was only the size of a grain of rice. The [Warm Sun Stone] Su Xiao just threw in was almost the size of a fist. This is the purest and most pure Sun Stone in the Sun Church.
Rare sun stone.
After a while, the door was opened again through a gap, and Sister Dian Dao's hand came out. In her hand was a long small box. When Su Xiao took the small box, Sister Dian Dao quickly withdrew her hand and closed the door with a bang.
, no more talking.
Su Xiao opened the wooden box and found a very thin metal syringe inside.
[You obtain the extracted sedative (Holy Spirit-level potion), which is a technological legacy of the dynasty. It can stabilize your mind, eliminate the madness that invades your body, and thus restore a large amount of your sanity. It can restore 300 to 390 sanity points.
(The number of restores varies depending on the user).】
