Chapter 45 The Origin of the Root Monster

There were a lot of thoughts in his heart, but it didn't affect him to continue reading.

The follow-up plot is not complicated, that is, he uses the mirror image clone to test the strength of the root beard monster, and uses the clone to lure the root beard monster away, while the main body rushes to the gate...

That's right, in the video, he created two mirror clones one after another. World Games should have seamlessly edited the two archives to deliberately make people think that he is actually very strong.

Next is the main event.

The video shows what even he doesn't know, the world outside the gate of the unreal castle!

There are countless distorted and gloomy souls pattering down from the sky. There is no sound of raindrops falling on the scorched ground, but dense whispers can be heard. The cold and bright moon in the sky has also turned into a blood-red full moon, and the air is filled with gray fog. , strange and illusory.

Is this Netherworld?
Zhou Ze frowned intently: "Did I get lost here the last few saves?"

The angle of view of the screen looks back as the mysterious knight looks back, the gate of the castle is gradually overwhelmed by illusory and distorted souls, and the "raindrops" falling on his body are also entwined and submerged him.

As the screen was covered by gray fog, the mysterious knight squatted down, and the screen fell into darkness.

But the progress bar says it's not that simple.

Soon the screen lights up again, and it returns to the original utility room of the old castle.

"Is this a way to show all the content I've conquered?"

Zhou Ze was thoughtful: "After this video, others may mistakenly think that the vest of the mysterious knight has the ability to reset time or resurrect the dead..."

There is no need to say more about the content of the next ten minutes.

He rummaged through the castle and found notes and secret passages. In a low-pitched voiceover, he narrated the analysis that the castle might be upside down and false. He woke up the three explorers and entered the spiral secret passage together. However, they were captured by the root monster that was chasing after them.

The screen returns to the beginning again.

He used his clones to lure away the monsters and led everyone to escape from the secret passage. Finally, in the increasingly clear sound of pattering rain, the souls of the three explorers turned into points of light and disappeared.

He was left alone to confront the monsters in the castle.

"You ruined my plan, you will die! I will wait for you in the nether world..."

"Go to your uncle's Netherworld, I am a cultivator, and I will live forever!"

The whole serious video ends with this unreliable last sentence, which adds a touch of comedy.

"Wuhu, the force is gone."

Zhou Ze shrugged depressedly.

The vest of the mysterious knight has always been taciturn and mysterious.

As a result, the character setting that has been maintained all along collapsed under this swearing, and it may become a comedy character in the future.

But it's also a good thing from another point of view. The more the mysterious knight's vest fits his original personality, the less pressure he will have to pretend. In the future, if his identity is exposed, he will be able to deal with it more easily.

Speaking of revealing his identity, we have to mention Wen Siliu.

This girl sent him frantic WeChat messages early in the morning, and the number of messages was almost 99+. Fortunately, he didn’t tell her his mobile phone number. He usually kept his mobile phone on silent and was not harassed by video calls...

'Mr. Knight!Mr. Knight! '

'Yesterday, when you said that you were going on a business trip, I thought you were just perfunctory. I didn't expect you to actually go on a business trip abroad!I didn't delay you, did I? '

'In order to express my apologies, I would like to treat you to breakfast, or lunch and dinner, you choose! '

'Mr. Knight, haven't you come back yet? '

'I can't get through the phone...'

'Received the message! '

'Mr. Knight!Mister Mystery!Mister Mask! '

"..."

Zhou Ze silently closed WeChat.

This guy is really persistent, doesn't she have anything else to do?

He turned on his computer to check the commotion caused by the "Castle Escape" video. Regardless of the game process or soul rescue, he felt that he had not fully understood the inside story of the castle. Perhaps he could get more information from reality.

All the major forums and small news on the Internet were flooded by the news of 'The Return of the Mysterious Knight'.

The mysterious knight once again became popular all over the Internet.

He doesn't know how popular it is abroad, but the popularity of the 'savior' vest in China will definitely explode after this battle. Even if there are people in the whole country who don't know who the president of the United States is, it's impossible not to know who the mysterious knight is.

Some time ago, the Mysterious Knight Post Bar, which was quickly and spontaneously established, had a post that was refined and pinned to the top.

'Three members of the expedition team in the Maple Leaf Country fell into a coma due to unknown reasons during a scientific research investigation. The cause of the coma was not found for three days. The hospital initially diagnosed it as a persistent vegetative state, but the three of them miraculously recovered at the same time this morning. ...'

The land of maple leaves?Is that the country with the second largest land area in the world after the fighting nation?
fell into a coma three days ago.

But he clearly solved the incident yesterday, he just bought the game three days ago...

"No, wait." Zhou Ze suddenly froze.

Every time the three explorers die, their ratings will be permanently reduced. During the decryption process of the game, they obviously did not operate the liver, but they were unexpectedly very tired. Normally speaking, it is impossible for him to feel tired overnight in a state where he has undergone I Ching cleansing and spiritual blessing.

Could it be said that Soul Rescue has actually happened in every save since the game was purchased?

Absolutely!

With this inference, everything can be explained clearly.

The extra plots in the video are not fictional, but World Games used some unknown means to make him...how should I say it?It's hard to describe, should it be a preview?

"There are so many tricks in the world game."

Zhou Ze rubbed his temples and continued to read the follow-up.

The three explorers who 'resurrected from the dead' also became popular because of the "Escape from the Castle" video, and major news rushed to interview and report, trying to understand what kind of person the mysterious knight is from their mouths.

But to everyone's pity, the three explorers said that they could hardly remember what happened when they were unconscious, and only vaguely remembered that they were lost in the forest for a long time...

"Will the memory in the soul state be affected?"

Zhou Ze was thoughtful.

After waking up, he also felt that his memory was a little fuzzy, but because his mental strength was much stronger than that of ordinary people, he would not completely lose his memory like them, but he could not remember the details so clearly.

The video was released on the whole network at [-] o'clock in the morning.

The heated discussion on the Internet is still going on, and some people have already started discussing the topic of the illusory castle and the secret passage. Soon there is a list of misleading traps in the ghost castle on the Internet. Mirror clone, how to escape from the false world without getting hurt.

I have to say that brainstorming is really useful, and there are many strange ideas that Zhou Ze could never think of.

There are also several experts who are proficient in medieval history, and they have completely uncovered the history of the castle.

The abandoned castle originated from a baron who lived in the Empire in the late Middle Ages. Near the Renaissance, the baron was eventually charged with a felony by the church and burned at the stake... This is almost the same as the description in the narration at the beginning of the game.

The baron's name has not been verified, but the crime he committed was 'defilement of the gods'.

As we all know, at the end of the Middle Ages in Western Europe, there was a phenomenon that the religious power was higher than the imperial power, and the contradictions and struggles between the two powers were fierce.

The baron was burned to death on the charge of defaming the gods. The reason behind it is unknown. No one knows whether he really did something rebellious. However, it is recorded in the history books that the criminal law executed against him was extremely cruel.

There were many horrific tortures in the Middle Ages.

One of them is to put the prisoner in a strong and thick wicker basket and set it on fire.

During the whole process, no matter how hard the prisoner struggled in the wicker basket, he could not escape the sea of ​​flames. Before he was burned alive, the scorched wicker basket would gradually shrink, entwine tightly around the person's body and tighten, emitting a dim glow of charcoal. Light……

This fits the image of the root monster very well.

In the video, it is covered with dark red creeping black roots, but its humanoid body is scorched and skinny.
