Doomsday Jigsaw Game

Baiwu didn't think too much. There was no need to waste time when the answer was right in front of him.

The Ten of Spades and the Six of Jing are useless now. Bai Wu is also very curious. Will bringing two accompanying NPCs be helpful to this journey?

Did Lao Qian's words at that time refer to the Ten of Spades, or to someone else?

He pushed open the door of the blacksmith shop, and several thick spider webs were knotted in the corners. This ghost place seemed to have no twisted or dangerous atmosphere at all, and the spiders became as cute as spiders.

What comes into view is the furnace and forging table. The weapons placed on the forging platform naturally cannot enter Bai Wu's eyes.

There are no clues like notes.

When he recalled it, it seemed that he had been able to find written records many times during his explorations.

But not this time.

This time Bai Wu's eyes fell on a blood-stained forging hammer.

[Congratulations on finding the clue. Today is different from the past. You don’t need to look for written records. Now I can tell you the story.

There once was a blacksmith who specialized in making weapons for people. Because opening the door to the next level requires a weapon through the heart.

Does it feel weird? But that's the rule.

With the artifact in your hand, you naturally don't need these weapons, but you really need to penetrate a heart. Whether with weapons or fists. This behavior can trigger the next game rules.

As for this town... you can think of it as a black dot on a white paper. Small towns are designed to provide a habitat for outsiders.

But people from the previous civilization have not appeared for a long time, causing this place to be deserted. 】

Bai Wu read the notes he saw to Jing Liu and Spades Ten, intending to listen to their opinions.

Although the eyes have already pointed out the way to the area on the next floor, these two people are still smart people and should try to use it.

After hearing this, Ten of Spades looked at Jing Liu:

"Lady first?"

Jing Liu had no expression on his face:

"First of all, let me state that I don't think the well is the inner world of the world. The Ten of Spades is a liar. Although to a certain extent, I am your enemy, liars are sometimes more terrifying than enemies."

"Tsk, tsk, don't try to alienate Xiaobai and I at this time, right?" Ten of Spades just smiled.

Jing Liu continued:

"Now that we know how to do it, the significance of this information analysis lies in whether we can predict the next action."

"I didn't believe that a well could be such a pure place, so I was always against it. It wasn't until you described what you saw that it finally felt normal."

Jing Liu turned to Bai Wu:

"Through my heart, don't you think this behavior is incompatible with the atmosphere here?"

Bai Wu nodded, he and Jing Liu had the same idea.

In such a pure place, even animals have no desire to kill.

Maybe these creatures are immortal, maybe they don't need to eat.

But he didn't even have the slightest desire to attack, which still made Bai Wu feel very inconsistent.

"So I speculate that if there are really many levels here, then the method for each level to go to the next level may be killing, or it may be some behavior that is contrary to the atmosphere of the area."

"So in your description, this is a black spot on a white paper, because no matter how huge the blank part is, it is not as attractive as the focus. The focus is the disgusting thing here, implying the coming place, which is related to killing."

Bai Wu agreed with Jing Liu's analysis.

Jing Liu looked at the Ten of Spades.

The Ten of Spades waved his hand:

"That's very well said. I don't have much to add. The only thing I care about is, who is the blacksmith here?"

"You mentioned people from the last civilization, which is obviously not human."

"I would also like to reiterate that I insist that the connection between the well and the world is the connection between the inner world and the outer world."

"The inner world is different from the outer world. In the inner world, there will be some things that are not in the outer world. For example, someone has lost his mother, but in the inner world, his mother may become eternal because of this."

"Of course, this is just an example. What I mean is to show that - maybe the levels below can see many... existences of the previous civilization?"

Ten of Spades always speaks out of the blue, Bai Wu said:

"Do you think that the last civilization became extinct in the outer world, but because of this, they may be unprecedentedly prosperous in the inner world?"

"Correct answer." Ten of Spades clapped his hands.

Baiwu asked again:

"So what was the last civilization... exactly?"

"It's Alpha, the Tower Builder."

Jing Liu's body trembled, this man really dared to think.

Baiwu touched his chin:

"You mean... Alpha and the Tower Builders belonged to the previous civilization, and their civilization was destroyed, and they were the only survivors?"

"Yes, or it could be said that the two of them were the most powerful in the previous civilization. Everyone died, but only the two strongest people survived."

It has a kind of Twilight of the Gods meaning.

In a civilization of gods, various gods died due to a catastrophe.

The two most powerful gods escaped this disaster, but later they had a war because of their ideas.

One death, one seal.

In this gap, human civilization began to develop.

"You shouldn't be a liar, you should write stories. I have reservations about your speculation, no, it cannot be called speculation, it can only be called fantasy."

The Ten of Spades didn't care, just pretending to be helpless:

"Actually, the most real me is the endless association. When I say something that is highly credible, it turns out to be a lie."

When the Ten of Spades said these words, his eyes briefly came into contact with Bai Wu.

At this moment, Bai Wu felt that the Ten of Spades seemed to be trying to imply something.

"Why would he hint?"

"There's only Jing Liu here... Does that mean there are things he can't say in front of Jing Liu?"

Baiwu didn't think deeply:

"Don't waste time here, let's get started and get ready to enter the next level."

"You can choose to penetrate the heart of an animal—"

Ten of Spades gave advice, but it was too late.

Bai Wu directly stretched his hand towards his heart.

"——Dirty." Just after the sentence of the Ten of Spades was finished.

Bai Wu touched his beating heart, and countless blood vessels were broken. He seemed like an immortal monster:

"It's not that I don't want to kill, it's just that I'm too lazy to go."

Jing Liu and Spades Ten looked at each other.

Jing Liu suddenly understood why Bai Wu dared to risk his life in front of his brother to launch a surprise attack and exile himself under the circumstances of the flight.

"It turned out to be a madman..."

It is reasonable for a smart person to lose to a madman.

Bai Wu held his own heart, feeling quite tragic as if he had disembowelled him and then pulled out his intestines to show people how many bowls of rice noodles he had.

But in fact...it's not tragic at all.

His heart was like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle. When it was pulled out and put back in again, the puzzle remained intact, as if nothing had happened.

The white mist caused no killing, but it did complete the ritual.

The blue sky suddenly turned black.

Strange sequence of words appeared in the air like a tower's defensive barrier.

Bai Wu vaguely recognized that these serial words recorded history.

The large sequence text is like a history book floating in the sky. Even Bai Wu can't understand many of the sequence text.

It is as if a person who has learned modern Chinese suddenly sees the earlier Xiaozhuan script.

However, Bai Wu still found a part that he understood, a piece of revelation that was not history.

"The existence of the sub-civilization holding the seven sins will use the scroll to enter the deep layer and complete the seal."

Bai Wu also mastered the sequence text not long ago, so the translation is similar to the effect of machine translation.

When he read these words out, he suddenly thought of something——

"When I was in the mine, I met the traveler before Nie Zhongshan. From the current point of view, the traveler should be the guardian of Jing Er..."

"The traveler said at that time that there was a prophecy hidden in the well! Is this the prophecy?"

This may be why Jing Er believed that he was a threat.

Could it be that Jing Er had also experienced this area back then?

Bai Wu is unclear.

He looked at Jing Liu:

"What are the memories you experienced in the shell?"

Jing Liu said:

"It's completely different from you. The well you saw is completely different from what we saw..."

Ten of Spades added:

"Perhaps everyone sees it differently. Take the six brothers and sisters as an example. Although they have a common memory, everyone has a different perspective."

"Maybe, you are more special than them?"

There are too many puzzles about this area, and now Baiwu doesn't know how to solve these puzzles.

And as these sequence words appeared... his consciousness fell into blur.

Before completely losing consciousness, Bai Wu received a warning from his eyes——

[Do not reveal your special nature. If it is revealed, be sure to kill the insider. Unless...you meet someone you can always trust. 】

A series of puzzles appear, firstly the method to open the strange underground layer, and secondly what the eyes mentioned - many choices involving the soul.

Finally, there is this unspoken remark.

Bai Wu had no way to think, and no time to ask about Ten of Spades and Jing Liu.

Because he has completely fallen into a coma.

…

…

The rapid knock on the door tore through the blank space in his mind. When Bai Wu woke up, he subconsciously patted his head.

In his memory, he passed the interview yesterday afternoon. It was an interview with a venture capital company. He was a little carried away and got drunk.

Fortunately, when he opened his eyes, Bai Wu looked at the time. There were still three hours until the interview. It was only five o'clock in the morning?

The rapid knock on the door made Bai Wu's consciousness clearer.

"Please open the door. We are from the order team. There was a murder in the community. We suspect it was a member of the Seven Sins Association. We want to ask you about some information."

The order team...sounds very familiar.

Bai Wu realized that he had drunk too much last night and didn't even take off his clothes, so it was convenient and he opened the door directly.

The house is for rent, it is simply decorated, 65 square meters, and has a two-bedroom structure.

He opened the door and saw two people wearing crisp suits, bright leather shoes and sunglasses.

Both of them have the same face. They both have short hair, a muscular face, and are tall and muscular. They look quite similar.

Bai Wu felt something was wrong, but didn't remember it for a while.

Normal people would feel scared when they see people from the order group. Bai Wu also thought that he should be scared, but his first reaction was extremely calm.

He couldn't be afraid, as if he didn't have this ability, so he complained:

"Why are you so fierce? You have a straight face... It's only five o'clock."

The two big men in the order group frowned at the same time, their expressions and movements were almost 100% synchronized.

"With a straight face? What do you mean? Can you see our faces?"

Bai Wu was stunned, isn't this nonsense? These two people didn't have socks on their heads or masks. How could they not see their faces?

Bai Wu sensed something was wrong and instinctively became alert.

A normal person would ask themselves the question "can you see our faces"?

And...what's going on with this huge sense of dissonance?

Am I the kind of person who gets drunk just because I passed the interview?

At this time, one of the two members of the order team took a step back, as if he was about to take something out of his waist.

"Kill them two, you are exposed. Hurry! Otherwise you will die!" came a voice from behind.

At this moment, Baiwu's intuition coincided with the meaning expressed by the voice owner.

Baiwu, who had always been a good citizen, suddenly had memories of fighting in his mind.

Bai Wu's hands were shaped like eagle claws, and he thrust them directly towards the throat of a big man.

The moment the figure moved forward, with the help of inertia, he struck an elbow with his other hand and swung it 135 degrees.

In the blink of an eye, he killed two members of the order team.

The sound of cracking bones was heard loud and clear, and the two big men who were quite powerful a second ago became dead.

Bai Wu looked at his hands and felt incredible. But there is no fear that a normal person would feel after killing someone.

Then he turned his head and saw the ten of spades and the six of wells.

"Ten of Spades... Six of Wells... Hiss..." Bai Wu's head hurt a little.

Spades Ten narrowed his eyes and Jing Liu said:

"Looking at you like this, it looks like you have lost your memory, but since you still remember our names, it means that the memory loss is not that serious."

Bai Wu heard it. The person who asked him to kill just now was the Ten of Spades.

When he saw the Ten of Spades and the Six of Jing, their names did come to mind, but he couldn't remember who they were.

However, Bai Wu was convinced that only he could see these two people.

Because the Ten of Spades had been standing behind him, it was the Ten of Spades who reminded him, but the two big guys didn't respond.

"It seems that your memory has been modified, but it's good that your autonomous consciousness has awakened. Maybe it's related to the distortion you control, or maybe it's related to the way you entered here, which penetrated your own heart... Have you discovered it? ?You’re different from the others.”

"What do you mean?" Bai Wu was confused.

Jing Liu said:

"Can you see the faces of those two people just now?"

"Yes. Is there a problem?"

"Yes, the problem is not small. Although Jing Liu and I are still phantoms, we are already within the rules."

Jing Liu added:

"The two people we saw had no facial features."

In Bai Wu's subconscious, he felt that these two phantom-like existences were his own.

But the words of Jing Liu and Ten of Spades made him feel incredible.

Although these two big guys look like strangers, they are not faceless.

While Bai Wu was confused, some changes occurred in the area outside the well, in the real world.

…

…

Outside the well, there is an unknown area.

With the arrival of the Lord of Distortion, the concentration of distortion has increased significantly in all areas of the world.

It also caused the rules in many places to become strange.

The temperatures in extreme temperature areas are even more terrifying, and the physical rules are even more distorted.

Not long ago, in a pharmaceutical factory on Orro Island, a dozen human survivors barely survived by relying on the drugs and physiological saline in the pharmaceutical factory.

Due to its remote location, it did not attract the attention of evil degenerates.

But if you can escape evil, you may not be able to escape the rules.

This is the extreme temperature zone, low temperature.

With temperatures approaching absolute zero, these people are at risk of freezing to death.

Not long ago, they were huddled together, each on the verge of freezing to death. However, at the moment when he was about to freeze to death...the temperature suddenly warmed up.

These people who were about to freeze to death were given a chance to live.

…

…

Well world.

Not long ago, a middle-level employee of an air conditioning company died. This middle-level person lives next door to Baiwu. This dead middle-level manager happened to be responsible for a residential air-conditioning installation project.

The air conditioning company felt very nervous because the security in Jingshi had always been very good. If someone suddenly died, it must be murder. So they called the police and asked the order team to investigate.

However, the investigation of the case was suspended because the order team responsible for the investigation was killed by Bai Wu.

Air-conditioning companies believe that the crisis against their companies has not been resolved.

So the original air-conditioning order contract with Fuyuan Community in Jingshi West District was signed.

But the project was shelved.

As a result, residents of the newly built Fuyuan Community have been unable to move in.

Because the temperature in summer is too high and there is no air conditioning, it is not suitable for living.

In the pharmaceutical factory outside the well, people were grateful for the warming temperature, which was like a miracle.

In the community inside Jingnei, residents complained that their houses were too hot to live in.

(There are things going on at night these days, ahem, so the update will be temporarily moved to the daytime.)
