Arriving alone: ​​70 billion copies of survival

Chapter 51 Only Seven Floors
24H after the "α event" ends.

He Gang took the initiative to lead a retrospective operation.

This time the operation was followed by Dumbledore and Hancock.

He carried with him a piece of golden equipment contributed by the son of Lamia.

As the filthy son of Lamia of the golden rank, three pieces of golden equipment and a lot of high-level materials were revealed.

Contains two drops of Contaminated Holy Blood.

The attributes of the three pieces of gold equipment are quite average, far inferior to [Dirty Cross] and [Longinus Spear Fragment], which are almost comparable to platinum.

But one of them is quite special.

【Crazy War Horn】〖Gold〗

[Description: This is the embodiment of Ives's ability to cry out to summon filth after it has been completely purified, full of madness that pollutes reason.

Strength+2.5
Stamina +2.5
Sanity limit -0.5
Effect 1: The sanity of the user is reduced by 10% every minute until the tainted horn is thrown away.

Effect 2: The user will be followed by Lamia, this kind of attention will not disappear, and it is not determined whether it is positive or negative.

Skill 1: War (When this skill is activated, the user's full attribute judgment ×3, and detects all filth within 1000 feet around, all detected units' full attribute judgment is reduced by 50%, if the comprehensive judgment is lower than the user's, it will fall into absolute madness , killing each other and will not stop until the next sound of the horn is heard.) (This item is only effective for the life sequence "Filth".)
Skill 2: Howling (When this skill is activated, the user's sanity is reduced by 50%, all attributes are increased by 50%, and the user can't help but recall the sad past. If the user passes the will test, the sanity value remains unchanged.)
Skill 3: Death (destroy the prop, and request "Meme Blocking" to initiate a will test on any living body whose biological sequence does not exceed "advanced". If the test fails, an absolute lethal event will be initiated.)]

It's this horn that looks weird like a devil's horn.

You can view information about will detection on the system's [Help] page.

Generally speaking, "will test" is a discontinuous event composed of two subjects, an action and a guiding result.

There are two subjects, namely "detector" and "detected".

The action is easy to understand. It is a detection and comparison, which is compared by a certain characteristic of the two subjects. When used on the will, it is usually expressed as the part of the rational value expressed by "will", which is also part of the san value.

The guiding result is "an absolute lethal event".

Obviously, the detector set by this [Crazy War Horn] is not the user, nor Lamia, but a contaminated old god or an alien that does not belong to myths and legends around the world. Great filth.

In this way, for some individuals, this thing is equivalent to a miniature nuclear bomb that explodes at a fixed point.

The vast majority of people who can be referred to as "memetic blockers" are those above the diamond level.

As long as the detected individual consciousness is not a group consciousness like a hive, it means absolute death.

Or unless you have a race-specific talent [immortality] like Hancock, you can also block such an impermissible will test.

Looking back on the incident this time, this horn is likely to play a key role.

Even if there is something worse than Hancock hidden inside that hellish place, you can still destroy the horn and let the "memetic blocker" confront it.

It's like you picked up Sadako's comb while walking on the road. At this time, it's a big deal to throw this thing into the Buddha's merit box and let them fight.

They returned to the shelter where He Gang stayed at the beginning, the war museum.

This retracement operation is based on what Ketanid said in the environment, "Don't go back."

Turn the system log page to the front.

until you find the interface you are looking for.

"..."

"From the dismissed absolute death incident, you found that there is some kind of unspeakable relationship between Lamia and Ketanid."

"You interrupted Lamia's sacrifice and offended this god, who is about to unleash his wrath. You still have ten hours to prepare for the funeral."

"..."

Lamia is recognized as a god by the system.

There is an inexplicable relationship between Ketanide and Lamia.

He kept repeating a message in those weird ways in the illusion.

don't go back.

Back to where?
He Gang thought for a long time, and finally thought he had found the answer.

The place where it all started.

refuge!

"He shouldn't have that look on his face."

Hancock pointed to the statue of Washington riding a horse at the entrance of the War Museum. The position and movement of the statue were different from those ten days ago.

Even now, there is grime crawling up the shoulders of the founding father of the United States, and there is a weird smile on his face that almost pulls the corners of his lips to his ears.

He Gang made sure that this thing wasn't so disturbing when he left a few days ago, and even just staring at it gave goosebumps all over his body.

He tried to look at the panel again.

"No, it's not filth."

He says,

"Without the attribute panel, the system cannot give data, indicating that this thing should be just a special statue."

Or it has been polluted, but not completely filthy, such as some rats, crocodiles, and snakes that ate the filthy stumps in the city sewers, and the system cannot give their panels.

They go to the museum.

Dumbledore glanced back at the statue.

Is it an illusion?

It's like... the amount of head deflection changed?
But He Gang and Hancock had already walked to the innermost part, and the gray fog soon filled in, breaking through the air purified by the magic fairy, and covering the statue again.

"The more prosperous and gorgeous a place is, the weirder it looks at times like this."

He strode to catch up with the two of them, the sound of his footsteps echoing throughout the hall.

Something weird.

Weird.

Soon, not only Dumbledore, but also He Gang realized this.

"I don't remember ever taking these pictures..."

He pointed to the innermost wall of the museum.

There are actually all photos he took while traveling in New York, including those of him feeding pigeons, trying on suits and posing while holding fire poles...

"And, I've never done any of these things!"

He Gang suddenly felt a biting chill.

He suddenly felt as if his were a dummy.

It's all just a fucking virtual game.

"Go down and have a look first."

Dumbledore pressed He Gang's shoulder, and the temperature from that hand reassured him a lot.

They ignored the photos that covered two entire walls. The world there was still normal, completely different from now.

Finally arrived in front of the elevator.

But He Gang stopped.

"We were living on the negative eleventh floor..."

He felt as if there were countless pairs of eyes looking behind him and countless mouths smiling, but when he turned around, he only saw Hancock and Dumbledore.

So he stared into Dumbledore's eyes,

"But there are only seven floors underground here..."
