Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

Chapter 126 Red God Banquet 14

A-Lian's voice came from the night, his tone was full of doubts, and also a little troubled and embarrassed.

Even to Bai Zhou's ears, her voice was very weak, because the distance between her and Bai Zhou was actually very far away.

After asking the village chief Abu, probably seeing something on his face, A-Lian then asked in a more intense and even questioning tone: "This year's handkerchief throwing game, I'm faster than everyone. I'm not supposed to be in the vigil, I'm the best! I clearly won the race! Where the hell are you taking me?"

Then came the slightly serious voice of the village chief Abu. "You are the one whom the oracle directed. You are our hope!"

"Oracle? What do you mean?" A-Lian couldn't help asking.

Abdao: "As you know, we have to sacrifice a lot of people every year...the number of sacrifices is far more than that of newborn babies. If this continues, our four major families will be destroyed!"

"I, I know. I heard from my mother. She said that your hair is all, all gray." A-Lian said, "But what does this have to do with me?"

"You know, I've been looking for a way to deal with the Red God. But even if my hair turns gray, even if I'm physically and mentally exhausted and can't sleep every night, there has been no result." Abu said, "Fortunately, half a year ago, I and A few workers at the mine saw an oracle written by the gods on a stone—"

"'A person born with a lotus on his body has the fastest speed, and only he can run past the Red God and defeat the Red God'.

"A-Lian, you see, you are only ten years old, and you already have such a fast speed... Even I, whom they call the most talented, can't compare to you. And I know you have a talent through your mother. A lotus flower, right? So, you are the one hinted by the oracle, who can defeat the Red God!"

For a long time, A-Lian didn't speak any more, she fell into silence, not knowing what she was thinking.

Abu continued to speak, "Alian, you are a gift from heaven to Wuming Village, and you are the hope of the four major families! I beg you to meet the Red God."

"Pleading?" A-Lian said, "This is not pleading, this is persecution. Otherwise, why are there so many people following us with knives? Besides, no matter how talented I am, as a human, how can I defeat the Red God? How can I beat the Red God?" Maybe kill her?!"

The girl's voice became more and more panicked. "This is a sacrifice. You have to sacrifice me alone. I told my mother that I doubt it is normal! I told her not to tell other people about the lotus on my body. Why would she..."

A-Lian's voice stopped abruptly, replaced by the whistling wind - she ran away.

Abu's tone immediately became exasperated, and he sternly said, "Chasing! Catch her!"

"But Lord Abu, she is too fast!"

"It doesn't matter, we can just surround this mountain! In this way, in order to avoid us, she can only run to the top of the mountain. This year the Red God is at the top of this mountain!

"Haha, let her run... let her run directly into the arms of the Red God!"

·

At this moment, all voices stopped abruptly.

It was as if Abu, Alian, and all the subordinates of the village chief in the distance had all disappeared.

Why is there such a phenomenon?

Bai Zhou could only attribute it to the fact that all of this happened in the future time and space.

In this conversation, Abu mentioned that Alian was ten years old.

But when Bai Zhou and others played the handkerchief throwing game with the little girl, she was only eight years old.

Therefore, the three heads are in charge of the time and space in three directions. This speculation is probably true.

Bai Zhou guessed that the reason why he could hear the conversation between Abu and Alian was because he heard a voice from another time and space.

There are three heads, and Bai Zhou is located within the range of the eyes of one of the heads.

As for the Abu and Alian he heard just now, they were in the eyes of the other head.

The eyes of the other head changed color, illuminating that portion of the area into a vision of the future.Thus, Baizhou in the past can hear the voices of Alian and Abu in the future time and space.

After that, all the voices stopped abruptly, probably because the color of the eyes of the statue over there changed back, and the future time and space suddenly disappeared.

The only thing Bai Zhou doesn't know is why Abu is living in the future after being killed by his current self.

He even discovered that the villagers around him were not ghosts at all, but were actually human beings.

When communicating with the red god Ah Mei, Bai Zhou noticed that her voice was very different from that of a human.

If you were an ordinary person, you might not be able to understand her words at all.

I can understand it, it should be purely because of the god-level players.

But at this time, the voices of Abu and other villagers beside Bai Zhou were exactly like human beings.

This means that they are indeed resurrected from the dead, rather than the so-called "return of the dead".

In addition, after the resurrection, they also lost a piece of memory.They didn't know what Bai Zhou had done to them.

At this time, Bai Zhou remembered what the Red God Ah Mei said to him before he left - "What has happened, cannot be changed."

Then, maybe this dungeon can be interpreted in this way—the story of Wuming Village has already been finalized.

No matter what the player does, it will not bring any change to the fate of the village.

No matter how many times Bai Zhou killed Abu and the others, they would come back to life again and again.

From another perspective, everything that happens here is like a cartoon.

The three heads on the statue are like three projectors. They look at the three major areas and project the stories of different areas.The projectors have different colors, corresponding to the different segments of the animation they will play.

Players are in the cartoon and are subject to various prohibitions. As outsiders, they may die here, but they will not make any substantial changes to the fate of the nameless village itself.

In the eyes of Ah Mei Hongshen, what should happen has already happened.

Samhain, a time of non-existence, a time of chaos in space and time.

All the chaos may not stop until the end of Samhain.

Perhaps at that time, players will know what the real customs clearance task is.

As Bai Zhou walked and thought, he suddenly found that Abu beside him had stopped.

He immediately guessed what Abu meant.

Sure enough, Abu said, "Wait, please stop. We went wrong."

Bai Zhou remained silent.

"This way, please! We have to go to a place first!" The village chief, Abu, turned around. Seeing that Bai Zhou hadn't moved, he tried to reach out and grab him. He seemed very anxious.

The village chief Abu wanted to take Bai Zhou to, of course, the direction of the altar.

It seems that he who was resurrected from the dead really lost a piece of memory, so he still wanted to take Bai Zhou to the altar to kill him.

Bai Zhou looked at him and asked, "Sahain has come. Are you afraid of wasting time?"

"It...is past 0 o'clock?" The village chief was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Oh, this time is prone to confusion... You see, we all don't know when we were separated from you! But Please come with us! I have thought of a strategy to protect us all!"

——Sure enough, even his words were exactly the same as before.

"Why don't you go?"

"Come with me, I'm here to save us all!"

"I thought of a way to get rid of the Red God!"

While persuading Bai Zhou, Abu winked at the others, probably because he was worried that Bai Zhou would find out about their plot and would not go there. He was implying that other people might want to tie him up forcibly. altar.

Seeing that Bai Zhou still didn't move, Abu turned to look at him, and raised both hands in a gesture to grab his arm.

The next moment, there was a flash of cold light, and Abu didn't even feel the pain, his head had already fallen to the ground.

At the same time, there were more than [-] other people who died with him again.

After finishing them briefly and roughly, Bai Zhou put away the Daybreak Knife and continued walking towards the top of the mountain.His movements were quick, as if he was in a hurry to get back somewhere.

At this point, the tasks of each player are relatively clear.

The handkerchief throwing game divides players into two groups: "watch the night" and "go home".

There must be important clues on both sides, so it is best for players to divide into two teams, participate in two missions separately, and cooperate in subsequent games to share information without reservation.

At the beginning, everyone thought that the night watch was the most dangerous, because it meant being sacrificed to the Red God, and it was very likely that she would face her head-on.

But now that Bai Zhou knows the story of the Red God Ah Mei, he suspects that the player, as a "deserter from the Kingdom of Silence", actually helped her, so she has no direct malice towards the deserters, and even reminds them of the ban.

Then the real danger may be around the players who live in the hotel.

The red god Ah Mei appeared and then disappeared.Here, the real enemies faced by the "Night Watch" players are actually only the villagers who are constantly respawning.

As for the only crisis they faced, it was just not to let their own blood drip on the altar.

But the players at the hotel are probably facing the real danger—for example, the proprietress Dar.

In addition to Tar, the Red God left here and probably went to the inn as well.

Although she has no direct malice towards the player, it does not mean that her position will not change.

All in all, Zhou Qian and the others are in a dangerous situation.

So Bai Zhou had to rush back to the hotel in time.

But before going back, he wanted to take advantage of this chaotic time to look for clues.

There must be some important information that he has not discovered yet.

All copies have obvious design traces, which has been proven.

In this game, danger and reward are always relative.

In terms of common sense, the crisis faced by "Night Watch" players is actually not small.For someone with a slightly weaker force value, as long as they lose a trace of blood in the fight with the villagers, they can be easily killed.

Bai Zhou was fine only because he was a god-level player.

High risk corresponds to high reward. "Night Watch Players" must have important information here.

"1 or 31", this sentence directly led to the village chief Abu leading the villagers to kill Bai Zhou.

But from another perspective, from the perspective of game design, they are actually preventing Bai Zhou from going to the place they agreed with Red God to play games this year.

So Bai Zhou is going in this direction now.

In what way will the Red God come to the world?

Since the two worlds intersect, will her hotel come to the world?

Following the light cast by the stars and moon all the way, Bai Zhou walked along the mountain road to the top of the mountain.

Sure enough, a strange looking building appeared in front of him. It looked like a log in appearance, but it was not made of wood.

What makes it quirky is its shape.

Buildings should be mostly square or round, and the related design is comprehensively considered from elements such as livability, space saving, and aesthetics, which are usually regular.

But the building in front of Bai Zhou has no rules at all, and it looks very unsuitable for living. There is a protruding section here, and an extra circle there, and there is no aesthetics at all.

If you look down and try to construct its floor plan, you will find that it is completely like a messy irregular polygon that was smashed on the ground and then randomly fell out.

After walking half a circle around the building, Bai Zhou saw the gate.

The gate is bright red, and the signboard on it is also red, a strange irregular red symbol.

——That's the sign of the Red God Hotel.

At this time, there were several meat pots at the entrance of the hotel, and the smell of broth wafted over from a distance, and a few strange-looking people were eating broth there.

After a while, someone came out of the hotel and said to the people at the door: "Let's go, the Samhain Festival is here, let's go to the village to eat something good. We are tired of eating these things of the Red God!"

"That's right. There is no concept of time here...I forgot it was Samhain. Let's go."

If so, the ghosts left the hotel in twos and threes, and walked towards the village down the mountain.

Seeing this, Bai Zhou took out an outfit from his luggage.

This is the ghost prop prepared by the hotel proprietress Tarr for everyone.

After a while, Bai Zhou put on the grotesque horror robe and put on a skull mask for himself, and walked towards the Red God Inn.

When he walked to the door of the hotel, Bai Zhou smelled a more intense aroma of broth, but it was indeed very different from the one cooked by the proprietress of Tar.

According to the little ghosts just now, unlike the human world, there is no conventional concept of time in other worlds.

This is probably the reason why the gourmet delicacies here will be continuously provided to the little ghosts.

But in fact, these foods have never appeared or disappeared, they have always existed.At the same time, the life here has always existed like this.

Not born, not dead.Nothing here makes sense.

Becoming the Red God, in a sense, actually found a prison and trapped himself.

After stepping into the hotel, Bai Zhou found that there were almost no people here, and even the few people left were running outside.It was rare to be able to go to the human world, and they probably all went to the village by now.

Bai Zhou was able to step into the hotel without hindrance.

The situation in the hotel is also quite unique. There are two large pools in the middle, one with stewed meat and the other with wine.

As for the surrounding ground, there are all kinds of blankets for passengers to sit down or sleep on.

The Red God Hotel has only one floor.Unlike normal hotels, it doesn't have any rooms, not even cubicles.A pool of meat, a pool of wine, and blankets all over the floor constitute all the facilities of the hotel, allowing people here to come in, eat, sleep, or leave at any time.

But it was the Red God Banquet for people from other worlds, a never-ending banquet.

But there is a chief seat in the hotel——

To the east is a rather luxuriously decorated seat, which is probably where the Red God usually sits.Only she has the right to sit in this chair.

As for the front of the chair, there is a statue.

What makes people feel strange is that there are many coins spread around the statue, as if someone is worshiping the statue.In other words, ghosts are enshrining this statue.

Bai Zhou stepped forward, went to the front of the statue to look at it, and found that it was a flying bird—a golden flying bird.

"Never kill birds", this is the fourth prohibition that the player has not cracked.

Bird, who are you referring to?

This statue is golden.Is the golden feather stolen by Ah Mei related to it?

If Ah Mei's suffering is real, and her hatred of the villagers is real, she should hate Golden Feather as much.

So, if the golden feather is really related to a golden bird, why did Ah Mei put its statue in her hotel for worship?

The author has something to say:

The red god, "hell" has endless food, and animals are spirits that communicate with the two worlds. These are some concepts in Irish mythology.
