Chapter 7 Jigsaw's Judgment
Chapter 7
The dim kerosene lamp illuminated the dirty hut and scared away a few mice.
Drunk John took out a piece of bread and ate it drunkenly. He fell on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
However, just after falling asleep, John, the drunkard, had already woken up from the cold.
He felt sticky all over. In front of him was a safe with a candle and a tape recorder on it. His first feeling was that he had been pranked by his drinking buddy. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why he was here?
John picked up the tape recorder, which was very different from what he had seen in the store.
The whole thing was several times smaller, and there was no inlaid groove inlaid with Blazing Shadow Ore to convert heat into electricity. If it weren't for the transparent shell that could see the tape inside, he wouldn't have been able to tell that this little thing was a tape recorder.
John pressed the button casually, and the tape recorder started playing the tape when he pressed the first one.
"John, you were born in an ordinary miner's family. Your parents loved you very much since you were a child. They did not give you a rich life, but they never let you starve. They gave you the best life with everything they had. I’ll buy you a house, find a job, give you a wife and have children…”
"But you will never be satisfied, you will always complain, and eventually become an alcoholic..."
"When your parents were seriously ill, you were drunk on the street. When your wife and children were hungry, you used the family's last money to buy alcohol in the pub. When your children had a high fever, you took them away. The money my wife borrowed to treat her child..."
"Let's see how drunk you can be in the face of death..."
"Your body has been injected with a chronic poison. The antidote and the key to leaving the secret room are in the safe. Your body is covered with a mixture of glue and alcohol. The ground is covered with broken wine bottles. One of the fragments is above There is the password to the safe..."
"I also have more candles for you among the shards of glass. If I were you, I would be careful with the candles I use."
John put down the tape recorder in his hand blankly, looking at the candles and matches on the safe and trembling all over.
He had realized that this was not a prank by a drinking buddy, and no prankster would do such a dangerous thing.
Watching the candle burning little by little, John came back to his senses and started to lower his head and pick up the pieces of the bottle.
Because the range illuminated by the candlelight was limited, after searching the surrounding fragments and failing to find the password, he had to carefully hold the candle and search elsewhere. However, his feet would be pricked by fragments of wine bottles and bleed every time he stepped out.
Some of the wine bottle fragments scattered on the ground could be picked up, but more of them were connected to the cement floor.
So John could only walk on the broken wine bottles, enduring the severe pain in his feet, and constantly looking for passwords and candles among the broken wine bottles on the ground. Time seemed meaningless to John, but his stomach became more and more painful. Make him realize that the poison is taking away his life.
John no longer knew how long he had been searching. His feet were constantly injured and bleeding, which made him gradually dizzy, sweating, and weak. He even further felt confused and respiratory distress. Finally, his hand shook and he failed to hold on to the candle. John was instantly ignited by the candle and transformed into a human form. torch.
With heart-rending screams, John rolled on the ground in pain, further aggravating the injuries he suffered.
Although his whole body was set on fire, the amount of glue and alcohol on his body was actually very small.
John was not burned to death on the spot, but his whole body was burned and he could not control his body. His whole body was covered with wine bottle fragments and bleeding continuously. In the pain and despair, John seemed to be able to clearly feel the last drop of his blood in the quiet secret room. Drain from the body.
When John woke up again, he rolled down from the bed covered in cold sweat.
He seemed to have had a nightmare, but he couldn't remember the specific content of the nightmare after waking up?
Just as John was trying to recall the nightmare, he saw the wine bottle on the table next to him. He instinctively picked up the bottle and drank a few sips to calm down the shock. However, the moment the drink entered his mouth, burns appeared all over John's body. Pus and bottle fragments stuck all over his body.
At this time, John finally remembered the content of the nightmare, but he could only experience death again in despair.
At the same time, Rosen also saw the scene of John's death in reality in front of the Lord God's computer.
It was originally just a nightmare that his spiritual consciousness experienced in a virtual spiritual realm, but after John woke up, he died in reality?
This made Rosen realize that the virtual spiritual realm also hid secrets that he had not discovered.
He immediately checked the performance of other people in the virtual spiritual realm. If the virtual spiritual realm would cause a large number of ordinary people who entered it to die in reality, then he would be in big trouble this time. Fortunately, after watching a few of them, he was left hanging. Feeling relieved.
The virtual spiritual realm of Chainsaw has two modes for ordinary people who enter it.
If the ordinary people who enter it live a good life and are not bad, then after waking up, they will have a dream that they cannot remember.
But for people like Drunkard John, they will experience a spiritual test after they leave the virtual spiritual realm.
If John did not take those few sips of wine in the end, but quit drinking and be a good person, then John would not experience the harm in the virtual spirit realm in reality, and in turn, John would experience the despair, fear and death in the virtual spirit realm again.
This discovery made Rosen think of the secret behind the Saw series.
Jigsaw, the murderer of a series of tragedies in Saw, is an old man who lost his family, had a terminal illness, and failed to commit suicide. He hated those who he thought were guilty or did not value life, and then designed various levels to stimulate their will to survive.
Jigsaw would leave a way out at each level, and he could escape by paying a certain price.
Failure means death, which is also the origin of the Saw series.
So people like Drunkard John are naturally Jigsaw's favorite prey, and Drunkard John's will to survive is obviously not strong enough, so that the first thing he did after waking up from the nightmare was to drink.
In the end, Jigsaw ignited the key and spirituality in John's body, turning his nightmare experience into reality.
Rosen could feel that some of the total 148,320 static paintings had disappeared permanently.
However, when the personal attribute icon of the Lord God's computer was opened, and the detailed attributes of the virtual spiritual realm in Saw were opened, the virtual spiritual realm had grown faster than expected.
Obviously, people like Drunkard John, their spirituality and even souls have been completely sucked away by the virtual spiritual realm.
Rosen looked at the Lord God's computer and was a little reluctant at first, after all, he didn't expect the virtual spirit realm to kill people.
But soon he adjusted his mentality. The key to his ability to adjust his mentality so quickly was that during the days he traveled to this world, although he had obtained the memory of Little Rosen, he was not Little Rosen, and he was still very unfamiliar with this world.
The existence of Drunkard John was similar to an NPC in his eyes to some extent.
Moreover, he did not see Drunkard John die in front of him, but only saw John's death through the computer screen. He did not turn on the window mode of the virtual spirit realm, but just saw John's death like watching a flat movie.
So Rosen was able to adjust his mentality quickly, and he even vaguely felt that some kind of stimulation made his heart beat faster.
