Chapter 613
This is the first time that the plot has entered the second act.
Rin was a little lucky that he didn't burn down the annex.
Otherwise, if the people behind the plot design see how powerful they are, they might change the plot or run away early, and then they won't be able to see the subsequent plot.
After sighing, Rin stepped forward and reached out to push towards the door.
Before he could push it open hard, there was a force behind the door that silently opened it.
After the four people entered the room, the door was slammed shut again.
At the same time, the dark living room began to twist and soon disappeared into a vast mist.
Chapter 161 It’s 12 plus plot, right (Part 1)
In the mist, the living room disappeared, and they seemed to come to another space.
Emilia tried hard to see what was on the other side of the fog.
However, everything seemed to be covered by cloth, separating them from the abyss of nothingness.
The only thing that was identifiable was the singing sound not far away.
The song was sung by a little girl, and her ethereal and melodious voice contained a hint of innocence, loneliness and expectation.
But as the voice drifted, it was crushed by the mist.
The lyrics they could hear were vague.
"Go in the direction of the sound and don't lose it."
After warning several girls, Rin followed the direction in which the singing was coming from.
In the last trial, he encountered red blood mist several times, but this time it was completely white mist.
No matter what the color is, it gives people the same strange and uneasy feeling, just like boating on the night sea, you may be attacked by the undercurrent hidden under the black sea at any time.
The singing is intermittent, with only one lyric. After singing, there will be a pause, and then the cycle repeats.
As they walked, several people noticed the bright light appearing in the direction where the singing came from.
The bright light is also white, quietly hidden in the white mist, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
When it is bright, it looks like a lighthouse in the middle of the lake, and when it dims, it looks like melted icing sugar.
The singing became clearer as they got closer and the light fluctuated.
Finally, Rin heard the lyrics clearly.
“The chicks that leave the nest cannot fly, and fall into the soil during the blooming season.
Its young feathers withered and had no life, and it was self-pity and self-pity that should not have ended. "
Along with the singing, what became clear was the door with soft light in front of me.
Rin pushed the door open slightly and saw Dimon and a little girl sitting on the bed crying.
The little girl had black hair, and her face, which should have been healthy and vigorous, was pale.
She said in a voice like that of a premature little animal:
"Dad, can I never get out of bed?"
Dimon half-knelt beside the little girl, hugged her and comforted her softly.
" Rapunzel, don't worry. Dad will think of a way. There will definitely be a way. Don't forget that Dad is an alchemist."
Little Rapunzel rubbed her eyes, rested her head on her father's shoulder, and nodded slightly.
Then, the picture stagnated, the light and the subject of the bedroom dissipated like bubbles, leaving only the afterimage of a father and daughter.
Most notably, a piece of paper at Dimon's feet.
Rin picked it up and looked at the words on it. They were written by a child who was in the stage of practicing calligraphy. They were neat and cute.
What is recorded above is exactly the song that was sung before.
As he picked up the note, the afterimage of the father and daughter disappeared, and everything returned to the mist.
A new song also sounded at this time, but it was still intermittent and difficult to hear clearly.
Rin knew that this situation was a link in eight of the ten decryption games... memory recall.
It is usually a common method for players to understand the plot of the story and find clues.
It’s the third level after all. It’s much taller than the first and second levels!
After glancing at Momo and the others, and seeing that no one was following them, Rin continued to lead the team in the direction where the singing came from.
About ten minutes later, they heard the second lyrics clearly and found the second memory fragment.
“A flock of nestless birds strays into the forest and sings its joyful song.
The dusk came quietly, and when the bell rang, no one heard it. "
In the flashback memory fragments, four more figures appeared.
There were two teenage girls around twelve or thirteen years old, a blond boy about ten years old, and a little girl with orange hair who had been hiding behind the blond boy.
Rin and Elise recognized at a glance that this little girl was the Rapunzel they had seen before.
The little girl's hair is very dark orange, not as warm and bright as it was later, but more brownish-red.
She looked to be only seven or eight years old, very timid and introverted. She had been looking longingly at the dark-haired girl of her own age, with both worry and expectation in her eyes.
The four children were all poorly dressed and looked like children from poor families.
The oldest boy was eating voraciously, as if he had been hungry for three days.
The older girl covered her mouth and looked at the pile of clean clothes held by the maid in surprise.
The little boy with blond hair was holding a paintbrush in one hand and patting his chest with the other, as if he was promising something to the black-haired girl.
The black-haired girl was bedridden, but she had a genuine smile on her face.
And in the shadows, a tall figure was watching all this silently.
When the flashback ended, Rin picked up the fallen note and headed to the next scene.
The next scene no longer emits white light, but a black light.
In the black light, the black-haired girl lay on the bed, lifeless.
Dimon knelt on the ground, buried his head in the sheets, and held a book tightly in one hand.
The book was wrapped in black, and the title could not be seen. A piece of paper on the bed stood out.
"Parting, the young one doesn't know where to go,
Those who have been waiting for a long time will suffer. "
Rin took back the note, and several versions of the plot had already appeared in his mind.
He looked up at the looming gray in the distance, and suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart.
Because Rin already knew what he would see next.
Sure enough, there he saw the oldest boy, tied to a stone pillar carved with runes.
On the stone platform in front of her, a black-haired girl was lying there silently, with the black book beside her.
Surrounded by a group of weirdos wearing black robes and triangular hoods, holding candles, were chanting something in a low voice.
And Dimon stood on the other side of the stone platform, holding a dagger in his trembling hands, his face full of pain.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The picture was not fixed, and after a while it flickered and then changed to another one.
The boy was dead, his blood burning in black fire.
The black book floated high, and the black-haired girl sat up under the book, her eyes red and as dull as wood.
Dimon ignored it and hugged the recovered girl tightly.
The picture is like a slideshow, changing again.
I saw Dimon being knocked to the side, with a look of disbelief on his face, and stretched out his hand to block him.
The black-haired girl merged with the book, her body began to swell and twist, and her whole body was entangled with black threads.
In the end, it turned into a big black crow, with no other emotions except greed and cruelty in its scarlet eyes.
Crows flew up and pounced on those people dressed as Xie believers.
Anyone caught by its claws will turn into a ball of blood mist.
Then, all the blood mist entered the crow's body, and finally turned back into a human form.
The black-haired girl woke up as if from a dream, hugging Dimon in fear, crying helplessly.
Dimeng just hesitated for a moment, touched her head, and chose to accept this "special" daughter.
“When we meet again, our earnest expectations turn into tidal flats.
False dreams are often irreversible. "
Chapter 162: It’s 12 plus plot, right (Part 2)
Continue forward to enter a new retrospective segment.
Rin, Elise and the others also met the child who left clues in the room.
Qasim's feet were chained to the leg of the bed, and he was dressed exquisitely but dirty.
There was a blood-red sky outside the window, and there was a black crow. It was so big that it occupied the entire window.
The boy could only hide under the bed in despair, leaving scratches on the bed board with his fingernails.
Before he died, he missed his hometown and used the words of his hometown.
There was a line of writing left on the drawing board next to the bed.
"The mournful flock of birds passed away together with the light of day without leaving a trace."
The four people present felt uncomfortable.
Even the naive Momo didn't understand what happened before, but she still knew that those children who were originally lively and energetic were dead.
Elise could understand. She lowered her eyes silently, holding the staff tightly in her hand, and her hair was lifeless.
Although this is all in the past...maybe even just staged drama.
Silly Roe Deer is still inevitably in a low mood.
Even in the last trial at the end of the world, it was never like this.
After all, she did not witness the disaster with her own eyes at that time and experienced the horror of the destruction.
By the time she arrived in the dungeon, it was already the late stage, and she had been well protected by Qi Yu all the way. Those disasters were only mentioned by others.
The unfamiliar setting of the world and the confusion of memory left her with no sense of reality at all.
Now that I have experienced it personally, I have a completely different state of mind.
Rin and Emilia were the first to adjust their mentality.
He touched Momo and Elise's heads and comforted softly:
"These are all things that the owner of the script deliberately wants us to see. They are all illusions and we don't know whether they are true or not. Don't be fooled, you two fools. If you shed tears, I will definitely record them and laugh at you loudly."
"No way! Brother Rin, Momo has lived in the Dead City for so long, she is no longer a crybaby child!"
The little girl retorted forcefully, and then secretly wiped away her tears.
Children are like this. When they see children of the same age being so pitiful and sad, they will quickly empathize with them.
"That's right! She's not the same Elise she used to be!"
Silly Roe Deer also replied, replenishing her husband's energy, and her mood was also recovering rapidly.
"Hey, it's just you who are so stubborn."
Rin scoffed, crossing her arms and striding forward.
