Doomsday Jigsaw Game

"How to choose?" Wujiu also saw this sudden mission.

Twenty-five minutes passed by second by second, and Bai Wu didn't panic at all. Now they have one hundred and seventy coins in their hands.

"Let's leave here first. According to the previous statement, the merchant should appear."

Tan Lei couldn't understand the conversation between the two, and was about to follow Bai Wu and the others to leave, but Bai Wu stopped her and said:

"If you stay here, it's too dangerous up there. If you go with us, we won't be able to protect you. It's safest to stay here. We'll save the others."

"Really? There are a lot of evils on the twentieth floor..." Tan Lei was suddenly a little surprised.

"What I say is the truth."

Although the game failed just now, Bai Wu's unpredictable character design has not collapsed.

"Then I'll wait for your good news here!"

"Don't run around, don't leave the sixteenth floor." Bai Wu finally warned.

The task of rescuing Tan Lei, the end point of which is not clear to Bai Wu, after saving the woman, the task did not end.

Now Bai Wu guessed, either kill Jing Si to make the area no longer dangerous, or rescue the scientists and reunite them with Tan Lei.

So from this point of view, Tan Lei must survive until one of the main missions is completed.

Bai Wu and Wu Jiu came to the door on the sixteenth floor.

Sure enough, the businessman was already waiting for them:

"Hey, little guys, have you accumulated any gold coins? This is the last time I will provide you with items."

"Before the transaction, I have a question, where is Heijin Island?" Bai Wu asked.

"That's not a place for your little body to go, and right now, you should be in more trouble. Now tell me, what items do you want?"

"First, an equipment upgrade coupon."

The merchant's goods have not changed, and there are still some strange items, but Bai Wu has now cleared his mind.

Since it was the final decisive battle, and it was still a 25-minute time-limited mission, this mission popped up suddenly, which meant that he had found all the clues to clear the level.

What you have to do now is to find a way to strengthen yourself.

At present, Bai Wu and Wu Jiu's strongest equipment, except for the imitation original sin weapon that cannot be upgraded, is Wu Jiu's Evil Fallen Must Die strongest.

White mist directly upgraded Evil Fall must die.

[Elite Short Sword: Evil must die. Attack power +9, upgradeable, durability 20/20. Unable to sell. 】

[Evil Fallen must die, a weapon that can break armor and corrode weaker Ellen, oh, this weapon full of hatred for Evil Fallen seems to have become sharper. 】

The remarks of Prell's Eye indicate that strengthening weapons in the game can indeed enhance the real attributes of weapons.

But all this is not from the businessman, but from Jing Si, the creator of the region.

"One more piece."

"It seems that you want to build an artifact? But I'm sorry to tell you that the goods are limited... This is the last equipment enhancement coupon." The businessman spread his hands.

"What about level enhancement?"

"There are six left."

"That's right."

After all, there is no unlimited gold coins, so Bai Wu can accept limited goods.

The remaining gold coins were just enough for him to buy an equipment enhancement coupon and six experience-enhancing scrolls.

And these things, Bai Wu used all of them on Wujiu.

Now the level of five or nine has become level thirteen. Its own attack power is 14 points, and its own life value is 34 points. But this is not the final attribute.

Evil Fallen Must Die has once again increased its power, its attack power has become 15 points, and its durability has become 40 points.

What made Bai Wu even more amazed was that the knife in Brother Short's hand had turned into a real artifact.

[Evil must die, let me re-introduce this weapon, this weapon that can make those weak and evil corrupted and corrupted, now it has become extremely evil, it is like a vampire's teeth, it can serve its master, Bring some life force! Yes, it has a certain vitality absorption property. 】

As long as he keeps attacking, the short brother can give up defense and recover himself by sucking blood.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, the blood-sucking ratio is high enough, and... can leave this area alive.

"It seems that you have no gold coins, so ~ goodbye!"

This time the businessman didn't give Bai Wu any good things. He walked very neatly.

Wu Jiu still didn't quite understand why Bai Wu didn't buy some weird things this time.

Bai Wu gave the "temporary archiver" to Wujiu.

"Captain, this is for you."

"You don't take it?" Wujiu was very strange.

Bai Wu smiled and did not respond positively, but asked rhetorically:

"We are now faced with the problem of choosing one or the other. In more than 20 minutes, we can either save people or kill the big boss. What do you think the captain should choose?"

"Save people."

"The current captain is very powerful, why don't you choose to kill monsters?"

"Human life is at stake, save people first."

"Sometimes I'm really curious, why there is such a righteous person like you, the captain, in the living environment of the tower."

Wu Jiu didn't know how to reply to this sentence, Bai Wu continued:

"I also think it's time to save people. So, captain, you go to save people. The scientists are trapped on the twentieth floor. There are many high-level evils gathered there, but according to the information I saw before, the total number of these evils is, Not much above forty. Not even forty."

Wujiu became more and more confused, and Bai Wu sped up his speech and confessed:

"What I'm going to say next is very important, Captain, you must remember everything."

"Although there are only two cases for reference, as long as it is about saving people, once it fails, the whole game will fail. Therefore, what we have to do is not to save people, or not to accept this task at all. After accepting it, we must ensure that they survive. come down."

"Based on the captain's current weapon durability, even the monsters in the headquarters can be killed with a single blow. Captain, you need to calculate the route. When you kill the evil, make sure you kill what you must kill. Your attributes are far away. Much higher than me, there must be no problem."

"If it fails, the temporary archiver will let us go back to before entering the building, and then you can tell me the evil layout, and I will give you the best solution for the captain."

Wujiu heard it, and asked:

"Are you going to face Jing Si alone?"

Wujiu still didn't know who Jing Si was, but he could guess that since it was a mission requirement to kill him, it was obviously not at the same level as the evil fallen he encountered on the road.

"That's right, I'm in charge of killing the boss, and you, the captain, are in charge of saving people."

"Why didn't I go to kill Jing Si?"

"Because scientists are more important, and only the captain can save scientists from so many evils."

"Then why don't you go rescue people together?"

"I don't accept this multiple-choice question because I don't have enough time. There are no villains in this game. Whether it's Jing Si or scientists, I want to save them all."

There are no villains in this game, Wujiu still can't understand this sentence. It's just that Bai Wu's words are resounding, and it is obvious that he has awakened in his heart.

With 21 minutes left, Wujiu said:

"Being able to get here depends entirely on your judgment, and you decide."

Wujiu believed in Baiwu's judgment, even though Jing Si seemed to be stronger than the evil degenerates on the twentieth floor, but since Baiwu chose this way, he didn't question it.

It's a big deal to start all over again.

The two soon reached the twentieth floor, and Bai Wu said:

"The monsters on the upper and lower floors should all be attracted by the scientists. Captain, as long as we save them, we can leave here. Twenty minutes, no more, no less, the captain doesn't need to worry at all."

Five or nine nodded:

"You too, be careful!"

The two parted ways.

Bai Wu was thinking, if he challenged as a single player without the short brother's participation, then the game would be a different scene.

...

...

Denglin Technology Headquarters, 24th floor.

As Bai Wu judged, this headquarters building has basically not encountered any monsters since the sixteenth floor.

All the monsters gathered on the twentieth floor, and they couldn't go to higher floors.

The structure of the twenty-fourth floor is slightly similar to that of the sixteenth floor, but it seems that the various facilities are stronger.

Like a door.

The door on the sixteenth floor is thick enough, but the door on the twenty-fourth floor is at least four times as thick as the door on the sixteenth floor.

Like other props, the master key can only be used once, but fortunately, Bai Wu doesn't need it this time.

The thickness of the door that can be seen is because the door... was broken open by a powerful force.

Even after pixelation, Bai Wu can still feel that there are many "vessels" growing on the walls of the entire twenty-fourth floor.

Black blood vessels, or black vines, meridians.

They densely covered the entire twenty-fourth floor, and Bai Wu noticed that at the entrance of the twenty-fourth floor, these blood vessels, vines, in short, were like strips of black objects, which were still continuously visible to the naked eye. The speed is growing.

Even Bai Wu's feet stepped on these strange black substances.

At the end of his sight, Bai Wu saw a face.

Even with the pixel art style, the face can be vaguely seen as that of a man.

Looking at the man's face, Bai Wu remembered Mr. Tao's memoirs.

In 2115, Jing Liu is ten years old and Jing Si is twelve years old.

Now, after thirteen years, Jing Si has turned twenty-five years old.

Originally, it was the most energetic age for a man, but Jing Si...became a complete monster.

[Jing Si, attack power: 9999, defense power: 9999, vitality 9999. 】

What kind of ability do you need to defeat Jing Si?

When seeing the data pop up in the note, Bai Wu knew that the so-called time-limited mission was a test.

"You made a wrong choice, are you ready to suffer death? Maybe I can turn you into a part of this city."

Jing Si's voice sounded very illusory, like a mixture of many voices.

Bai Wu also encountered this situation when he saw Hong Yin's body.

And the remarks about Jing Si given by Eye of Prell——

【He once believed in a prophecy, but he never waited for it. In the end, he recalled that the happiest days in his life were those in Denglin City. In memory of those days, before he was eroded, he dug out his heart and went to another place. 】

a heart……

Isn't this Jing Si's body?

Bai Wu quickly recovered from the surprise, thinking about it carefully. If Jing Si and Jing Liu have both come into contact with the existence of Jing, the two of them, brother and sister, may be the most powerful monsters I have ever seen.

This kind of monster, even if it only leaves a heart, is enough to severely distort a place.

This place is naturally not Denglin City.

As the eyes mentioned, the real Denglin Technology headquarters building has turned into a black area.

More and more sure of the guess in his mind, Bai Wu said:

"If the choice you mentioned is to rescue the scientists trapped in the refuge, I have already sent my teammates there, and I did not make a wrong choice."

Jing Si didn't speak, that face connected with countless black meridians looked at Bai Wu with chilling eyes.

"Hehehe... Arrogant human being, I hate your greed. Do you think you can save people and kill me? You want to complete two tasks?" Jing Si's tone was mocking.

Bai Wu was unmoved and said:

"I believe that there are also people who make this kind of choice. Their psychological process is probably like this. They hate choices, speculate on the mind of the questioner, speculate on whether they can get more rewards, trigger hidden options, and then the two tasks executed simultaneously."

Jing Si was a little confused.

"Aren't you?"

"No, because I knew from the very beginning that if you don't want us to win, we can't even get out of the branch building. Being able to make me and my friends into such a strange state shows that you have enough to distort reality Power. You are the... strongest existence I have ever seen."

Even if all of this is not Jing Si's body, Bai Wu doesn't know where the body has gone. But Jing Si's heart is indeed the most powerful source of distortion that Bai Wu has ever seen.

Even stronger than Hong Yin.

At least in Hong Yin's illusion... the captain's accompanying power cannot be converted into game attributes, and various spirit props cannot be used for other purposes.

It is impossible to turn those real and living humans into NPCs in the game, and it is also impossible to control all the evils in the entire area.

"I'm not greedy. I gave my best equipment and all the resources to my teammates. I believe that this game is up to now... My approach is still correct. The resources I collected are not small, so in terms of resources, My teammate was able to save them. He was stronger than me."

The white mist slowly walked towards that face, the black meridians entwined on the walls, the ground, and the ceiling made gurgling sounds, as if warning the white mist.

White Mist said:

"You are such a powerful existence, I never thought of killing you. Even if I have countless resurrection coins, I will spend them with you forever, and there is no way to find the one that can kill you in the existing resources of this game. method. Someone must have tried this, but the outcome can be imagined."

Jing Si looked at the white mist.

Bai Wu said very frankly:

"The scientists can be rescued, but what happens after they are rescued? As long as you are still in the 'crux', they will return to the game as we leave. Mo Cheng is still trapped on the nineteenth floor, waiting Someone save him. Tan Lei will still set off in the dark, and then be trapped by evil."

"Scientists will also be trapped on the 20th floor without knowing the end, until someone enters the 16th floor and starts the game. The next cycle will start again."

The white mist actually reached the depths of the black meridians, only three steps away from the pitch-black face.

Suddenly, there was a trace of compassion in his tone:

"For seven hundred years, you have been trapped in the crux of the problem. There are greedy people who are overwhelmed. They think they can challenge you again and again by constantly stacking their combat power. There are also kind and righteous people who rescue scientists time and time again. But who will save you... Well Four?"

This question made the hostility of the entire twenty-fourth floor dissipate a lot in an instant.

All the details are strung together by the white mist.

Why after choosing to save people, once the character dies, even the whole mission will fail?

Why are scientists trapped in this place? Living as a mission target for seven hundred years? And why are Mr. Tao's memoirs found in the archives? Why is it a wrong approach to not choose to save people?

Tan Lei, Mo Cheng, and Mr. Tao's memoirs all mentioned one thing, Jing Si became irritable. And now, Bai Wu also felt what kind of pain this existence that had been baptized by "well water" was living in.

"I'm not here to kill you, I'm here to save you."

"help me?"

Countless "Help me" resounded in this room, one after another, but the tone was completely different.

"Yes, I'm here to save you. The fifty-first floor of the divine tower can be opened."

"you……"

Bai Wu's words made Jing Si's eyes widen suddenly.

"But it will take some time. The four people blocking the 51st floor should be your brothers and sisters like Jing Liu, right? You all take Jing as your surname, maybe you all came from that well."

"Impossible... how do you know this?"

Whenever the other party said the word "impossible", Bai Wu knew that this was his turn.

It's just that Bai Wu didn't feel very happy, he couldn't feel sad, so the calm at this time was the closest he was to being sad.

Just like when she learned of Liu Mu's sacrifice, Bai Wu's expression was extremely solemn.

"I just pieced together a story from some clues. I originally thought that the owner of this area was Mr. Tao, and his unwillingness turned him into a villain."

"But if you read the memoirs carefully, you will know that a great man like him will not be reconciled, which will only bring him greater motivation. There are some great men in human history, all of which have one thing in common, that is, they will definitely Persevere to solve a certain problem, never to die."

"One thing is mentioned in all the clues, you are becoming more and more irritable. I don't think this is your original intention, but you have been baptized by well water, which makes your consciousness become manic."

"Jing Liu's talent tells you what the future will look like. In the future, human beings will leave the tower and return to this world. Mr. Tao's efforts will not be in vain. All twisted rules will collapse one day."

Jing Si's face showed pain and struggle.

"These words were once the pillar of your belief, the anchor point for you to keep your heart. In 2115, you and Jing Liu were able to come to Denglin and be studied voluntarily, which represented the best in your heart and wanted to save this world. international."

"Those words are all false! They are all false!" Jing Si's roar made those black meridians pulsate like snakes instantly.

Bai Wu has no doubts that this guy with a combat power of 9999 can easily kill himself.

"Yes, in your opinion, these words are all false, because Xie Yingjie's departure has shown you that Mr. Tao's idea has been unable to be realized. You are skeptical of Jing Liu's prophecy, and you think it is just a Hold on to your lies. In 2127, the tower will be closed, and in your opinion, once the tower is completely closed, everything will be closed."

"There is no future, no savior. The efforts of Mr. Tao and the scientists are in vain. It is impossible for human beings to return to this world from the tower. In this mania, you lose more and more of your nature. Also in this process , You made some mistakes, and because of these mistakes, you got deeper and deeper... The prophecies in Jing Liukou made you feel even more false."

"But you are wrong."

When these four words were said, Bai Wu took a deep breath.

There were already black meridians wrapped around his neck. At this moment, Bai Wu finally knew what these black substances were, and why Jing Si could easily mutate the entire city into evil degenerates.

In an instant, Bai Wu saw many visions, as if he had returned to his childhood, when Bai's father held a silver needle and kindly did all kinds of cruel things to him.

resentment……

The materialization of grievances that can cause negative emotions, these grievances are too huge, overflowing from Jing Si's heart, and finally, like a creeper wall, the black grievances tightly entwine the entire twenty-fourth floor live.

Even in the face of Hong Yin, Bai Wu had never seen those memories that made him miserable, but this time, he saw many memories that he didn't want to see.

It's just that these memories now... have no edge for the emotionally disabled Bai Wu.

At this moment, Bai Wu and Jing Si are like two peerless masters confronting each other with their strongest moves.

Unimaginably strong negative emotions poured into Bai Wu's mind from all directions, and the image of his father even became distorted, like a demon.

But instead of fear, he took another step forward!

His face seemed to be about to hit Jing Si's face.

Forehead to forehead! Eye to eye!

In the endless resentment, Bai Wu's unconscious voice also became louder:

"The prophecy is true, and Jing Liu didn't lie to you. The savior is real. He may have appeared, or he may still be waiting for the right time. The future that Jing Liu sees, the future that Mr. Tao expects, will definitely come. !"

It was as if a ray of sky light broke through the endless darkness in an instant. Bai Wu's original body was already entangled by layers of black matter, but at this moment, a part of his body was exposed.

Horror appeared in Jing Si's eyes.

The crux of his life is the hopeless future that he has personally seen.

The top of that tower is not a path to light at all, but a more desperate and distorted world.

The entire tower is Yizhong's metaphor for that prophecy.

The entire game process is also his crux!

Scientists who are rescued will be trapped again. And the human beings who think they have the power to resist, when they enter the top of the tower, they will see the devil who is far stronger than them.

Evil will never be expelled, and humans will never be able to walk out of the tower again.

Under such crux, Jing Si's true nature... began to get lost a little bit.

Jing Liu became a person who deceived him, and the efforts of these scientists became a laughing stock. When he was in despair, he threw away his heart, and finally fell into darkness completely.

Although this heart fell off Jing Si's body, it still has part of Jing Si's memory.

It feels the same crux, the same pain and despair as Jing Si, but at the same time, it also has all the beautiful qualities of Jing Si when he was at the headquarters of Denglin Technology. The kindness and hope that I try my best to keep.

Therefore, in this desperate game, there are still many places of hope.

It's just that in the past seven hundred years, this heart... has never waited for the world that the master originally wanted to see.

On the contrary, the reality is getting closer and closer to the prophecy, that hopeless and distorted world.

The hope contained in this heart... is becoming more and more bleak.

It has given many hints in this game... Although these hints are like hope and despair, one can only be hidden in a vague way, and the other is spreading more and more unscrupulously, endlessly.

But it still wanted to hear that someone told it that Jing Liu's prophecy was true.

Until a second ago, Bai Wu's hoarse cry made this black face startled.

"Didn't you bathe in well water? Didn't you instantly turn humans into evil? Then come and infect me!"

"The savior exists. Mr. Tao's efforts are not in vain. Human beings will not be trapped in the tower forever! Hiding in the tower may be a betrayal to you, but we will not succumb to that tower, seven hundred years For a long time, we have been trying to find a way to get out! We have also been getting stronger, and we have found a way to deal with the evil! And I am the best proof!"

"If you can turn me into a villain, then go ahead and try! Come!"

"One day, we will return from the tower, and these evil degenerates occupying our territory will be expelled by us!"

It was obviously a hoarse cry, but to Jing Si, the whole world seemed to stand still for an instant.

The pixelated world around me begins to peel away bit by bit. The faces of Bai Wu and Jing Si became real and clear.

Jing Si could even see his stunned shadow in Bai Wu's angry pupils.

In the end, the astonishment slowly disappeared on that face that was always angry and painful.

It doesn't have the ability of its master, so it can't verify the truth of what Bai Wu said.

But for seven hundred years... the crux of the heart has been waiting for someone to tell it that the prophecy is true and that the savior exists.

Now all of this, it finally arrived.

[Main task - go to the headquarters building of Denglin Science and Technology to rescue the scientists, do you want to accept it? 】

All resentment began to dissipate.

Those substances that were entwined with white mist like black vines were blown away by the wind like fly ash.

After a short while... Jing Si's face turned into dust.

The surrounding scenes also emerged—this place is indeed a technological building.

But it is not the headquarters of Denglin Technology, the real headquarters of Denglin Technology is a black area, and this is where Mr. Tao once stayed in Xuanhui City. This is the place where Mr. Tao and Xie Yingjie went to work together in 2115.

Jing Si had brought some scientists from Denglin City here. After making a mistake, he wanted to make up for Mr. Tao.

So before he completely wiped out his kind thoughts, he left that heart behind.

And this heart has protected the humans in this area for seven hundred years, although these humans... live in the form of NPCs.

In the end, Bai Wu didn't see the prompt that the task was completed, but saw a new task.

Looking at the mottled wall, he said to Jing Sixin who had dissipated into smoke and dust:

"I took this task."
