Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 Jenkins took down this important information, sold the wine to the other party, and then left the store with his small cloth bag.

　　140-40+5=105

　　 Continue to roll the dice, maybe the last 1 thrown used up bad luck, and then a 20 was thrown. It's just that Jenkins still wants to find the guy in the blood red robe of the special merchant on the street, so throwing such a large number can't be said to be a completely good thing.

　　 This time the journey was relatively long, and after stopping, it was not an ordinary building. There is also no door panel, so Jenkins just broke in.

　　 There is only one candle in the house. Jenkins walked in following the light and saw a child wrapped in a tattered quilt, curled up in the corner of the floor in front of the candle. Hearing footsteps, the child looked up at Jenkins. At that moment, Jenkins seemed to see a blood-red beast from the other's muddy eyes.

　　 But when Jenkins was surprised to see clearly, the boy immediately lowered his gaze, grabbed the cardboard and threw it to Jenkins.

　　The boy's role is probably a beggar in the town, so according to his identity, the value of the transaction is not very high, but there are many strange things.

　　 In terms of price, the two most expensive shoes are part of the "towners' dress up". And continuing down, it is a special item worth 10 dice, that is a special stone water cup, which can turn any creature's urine into clear pure water.

　　 Jenkins's mouth trembled, and he didn't consider buying this. Sweeping down, I saw more strange but unnecessary things.

　　 He gave up shopping at the beggar, but took out a dice and placed it in front of the boy:

　　 "Have you ever seen a person in a blood-red robe?"

Chapter 2139 The Shortcut to Leaving

　　 The role of the little beggar can probably provide information. And just as Jenkins expected, the boy raised his palm to him, so Jenkins added four more dice.

"right here."

　　 The little beggar in the town whispered, his voice very hoarse.

　　 "Huh? Is that you?"

　　 Jenkins asked again.

"of course not."

　　 is not a lie, so Jenkins took out the compass, thinking about the image of the target he was looking for, and looked down at the spinning pointer. This compass is very accurate for finding ordinary items, but when looking for any item that contains spirits, depending on the strength of the searched item, the compass pointing will have a certain degree of distortion.

　　 And this time, the pointer spins like crazy, just doesn't stop.

　　 He called out the monocle in the spirit and scanned the dark corners of the house. This house has only one floor, and the area is not too large. Even if the light of the candle does not shine on every corner, after wearing the monocle, with the eye of reality, even if the black aura of the eccentricity has an influence, it is so close. The distance is enough for him to see every detail.

　　 It's just that there is no third person's spirit in the empty house.

　　 "Where exactly is it?"

　　 Jenkins asked the little beggar who fiddled with the five scarlet dice again, but the other party just shook his head and did not intend to make any further transaction information.

　　 "This is weird."

　　 He stood up and scanned the house again:

"At present, I can see that there are only two people here, and the third person is indeed in the house. Since I can't see it, it means that the other person has the means to hide himself, whether in size or in spirit. But no matter how much he hides, I don’t want to avoid my eyes at such a close distance, so it’s definitely not that my eyes didn’t see it, but that I didn’t observe carefully..."

　　 He looked down at the candle in front of the little beggar, and looked at the light of the candle's heart:

　　 "Normal people will never look directly at the heart of the candle, so come out."

　　 He said to the candle, and then, the black spot where the center of the candle flame almost coincided with the candle head expanded a little. The black shadow jumped out of the flames, fell to the ground, and turned into a person wearing a blood-colored robe.

　　 His head is shrouded in a hood, so it is difficult to distinguish between gender and age. After jumping out, standing in front of Jenkins, without using Jenkins to speak, directly handed out a cardboard to explain the content of his transaction.

　　 Among them, there happened to be a map of the town that Jenkins missed.

　　 The special merchant's trading items are not only scarce, but not expensive. The prices of a few common items in the trading catalog are also lower than what Jenkins just saw all over the town. The prices I want to come here are all discounted. The map price of the special merchant here was only 95 dice, so Jenkins immediately chose to buy it.

　　 It was a roll of old parchment, and the edges of the parchment were obviously not neatly cut. The traces of pencils on the above meticulously draw the whole picture of the whole town. The beacon of the bell-ringer is indeed in the middle of the town, and after finding the location of the church, Jenkins can easily determine where he is now:

　　 "It's a disaster now, why is it so far?"

　　 Although the price is very low, the content of this map is very detailed. From his current position, even if he walks the most dangerous and shortest distance, and Jenkins can throw the number 20 every time, he has to throw at least 23 times.

　　 Of course he has enough dice, but he doesn't keep moving forward, and he can reach outside the town without touching the surrounding buildings. On the road, there are more than one or two areas that require extra dice to pass through, such as wooden fences, private streets of other people's homes, and so on.

　　 Counting down, even if Jenkins can defeat all the monsters on this road and solve all the puzzles, he will have to prepare at least about 150 dice to barely pay the toll.

　　 If you choose a road where you don’t have to pay tolls, you have to make a big circle to get out of the town. There are only five exits in the town, and they correspond to the direction of the five streets when they left the lighthouse. I don't know if it's a coincidence.

　　 Take the shortest path and count the time to earn the dice. Jenkins thinks that it will take about 3 hours. This is not surprising. And the most convenient way is about 6 hours, which is still on the premise that the average number of dice thrown is above 10 each time.

　　 "Is there no better way?"

　　 He muttered to himself confidently.

　　 "Of course there is."

　　 Unexpectedly, the child lying in front of the candle actually spoke. Jenkins looked down at him, and the other party extended three fingers. Of course, three dice are not too many, but after buying the map, 104-5-95=4, Jenkins has only four left. He suspects that the other party just peeped at the number of dice in the small bag.

　　 "Yes."

　　 He threw three dice, and the beggar glanced at the red-robed businessman, who left the house very interestingly.

　　 "Look at the street turning left at the next intersection."

Jenkins looked down at the map according to the little beggar’s reminder, and then was surprised to find that the street that turned left, the whole street on the left belonged to the town hospital, that is to say, every time he throws a dice on that street, As long as you don't leave that street, you have a half chance of being able to enter the hospital.

"The hospital is one of the most important buildings in this town. After all, blood therapy... The hospital has more than one exit, not just an exit on this street. There is one in the hospital that is not marked on the map you are holding. The door can lead to the diagonally upward street."

Jenkins followed the beggar's words and looked towards the diagonally upward street. If he could really walk like this, it would be equivalent to digging through the wall to the straight road in front of the maze when he was blocked by a dead-end wall before the exit of the maze. .

　　 The diagonally upward street is the street away from the town.

　　 "With three dice, would you tell me this kind of information?"

　　Because the information is too cheap, Jenkins actually doubted its authenticity.

　　 "The charging rule for this kind of information is that the outsider must have a map, and the charging requirement is to leave only one dice for the outsider to leave."

　　 In this way, Jenkins still has a big advantage.

　　 The beggar didn't tell Jenkins the location of the other door of the hospital, so Jenkins had to go to the hospital to find it. So he bid farewell to the beggar and set off again. When he threw the dice, he was still thinking that the next time it must be a building that can earn the dice, otherwise he will not have a dice and will really stay forever.

　　 But luck is really good. Before leaving this street, except for the last time, the other three were ordinary buildings. Let the old woman scold "a despicable foreigner" first, and then inject blood through a rusty metal syringe to get 4 dice. Before leaving this street, the last stop was the blacksmith's shop. At this time, he had 9 blood-colored dice in his hand.

The 2140th chapter ghost and truth

　　Because of the existence of the fire, not only is it not black at all in the forge, the blood-red swaying flames are even a bit dazzling. The blacksmith with a big beard and a red fruit on his upper body was standing in front of the anvil with a sledgehammer in his leather apron. Every dull crash seemed to suppress the sound of Jenkins' heartbeat.

　　 After hearing the footsteps, he looked at Jenkins sideways, shook his muscles, and then motioned him to look at the cardboard hanging on the wall with the transaction content. The blacksmith not only provides peddling business, he, like the nuns in the church, also has some tasks that allow Jenkins to earn dice.

　　 But Jenkins did not look at the cardboard carefully, but looked at the iron muscles of the blacksmith's body, which is the unique brass color of the alloy of the differential engine. The blacksmith is really made of iron. This can't be the original blacksmith. According to the characteristics of this paradox, there can be no non-flesh creatures here:

　　 "It’s a good exercise."

　　 While talking, he walked the same way and left the smithy. He will not easily get involved in any area related to the difference machine, so even if the blacksmith can sell weapons that can directly kill the difference machine, he will never buy it even as long as one dice is sold.

　　 was relieved after leaving the blacksmith shop completely, confirming that the blacksmith was not chasing him, and threw a dice in his hand again, showing the number 8 after landing. Although it is less than the average value, it still has crossed the intersection ahead.

　　 Jenkins chose to turn to the street where the ancient town hospital is located. After passing eight stone slabs, he got a 1/2 probability of betting, and happened to stop in front of one of the hospital’s doors.

　　 The buildings on this side of the street are part of the hospital, and the hospital is three stories high, which is one of the few high-rise buildings in the town. It looks the same dilapidated here, with green moss and blood stains all over the steps, and the dust makes it impossible to judge the original color of the steps.

　　 There are pillars on the slender steps parallel to the street, and the patterns of the pillars have long been obliterated by the years. Inward is the door of the hospital. Most of the door frames have no doors, and a small number of door frames are only half or less than half of the doors left.

　　 Knowing the importance of this hospital, Jenkins sorted his luggage again, confirmed the contents of the backpack, and then carried the magic sword behind him and the backpack in his hands, finally stepping up the stairs. The town itself is very cold, and the closer you get to the entrance of the hospital, the faster the temperature drops. By the time Jenkins stood in front of the door, the temperature here had dropped to about minus ten degrees.

　　 He exhaled and watched it turn into a white mist in the air. Even if there is no door, it is still impossible to peek into any building from the street. But what he felt, his blood was restless, and he felt a sensation of melting in his body.

　　 This is almost impossible for him now. This can only mean that the hospital is either the place where the strength of the [Scarlet Mayfly] resides, or there are more terrifying things besides the beast of disaster.

　　 The background of this treacherous world is very strange. If the secrets in the town itself are digging deeper, the benefits it can bring will definitely not just trade goods from the townspeople. But Jenkins believes in the warnings of the bell-ringer and the friendly reminders of the church nuns.

　　 Maybe after he becomes a god, he will come to explore the truth here, but at least not now.

　　 "The things inside have nothing to do with me, I just want to find another door."

　　 He said to himself in his heart, and finally stepped over the threshold and entered the inside of the town hospital.

　　 Although the town looks dilapidated and outdated, in fact, judging from the interior of the streets and a small number of buildings, the approximate level of industrial development here should be the beginning of the steam civilization, which is about one hundred years ago at the current time of the eighteenth century.

　　 Although it is backward, there are still steam pipes. Therefore, when Jenkins entered the hospital and saw the dim light of a gas lamp on the wall beside him, he was not too surprised.

　　 "Candles are lit in other places, only the gas lamp here is on. It really is a special building."

　　 After entering the hospital, the first thing I came to was the front lobby, which was like an ordinary hospital, with a simple service desk and waiting seats. Because Jenkins enters from one end of the hospital building, only the corridor to the right extends, but the height of the corridor is a bit shorter than that of the front hall, and the walls tend to be skewed, not like a corridor but like a mine cave Kind of artificially excavated channels.

　　 He stood there and looked around. He was about to go to the corridor to have a look. He didn't expect that behind the rotten wooden service desk, he suddenly stood up alone.

　　 It's not right to say that it's a person, it should be considered a ghost. The color of the spirit body is normal, and it seems that reason is still there. It is the image of a young woman in a heavy nurse's costume:

　　 "What are you doing standing there? Outsider, do you want to see a doctor here?"

　　 She greeted Jenkins familiarly.

　　 "I was injected with blood provided by the townspeople, and felt that I was more susceptible to body deformation curses. Is there a way to treat it?"

　　 Jenkins thought for a while and wanted to ask.

　　 "It used to be cured. The townspeople provided poor-quality blood. High-grade blood was used for blood therapy, which was enough to suppress those effects."

　　 "No, I not only injected the blood of those old women, I also injected the blood of the nuns."

　　 "That's okay, it's just that the process is more complicated. But it can't be treated now, it's all the same."

　　 The ghost nurse said somewhat lonely, this is quite humane, if it weren't for the appearance of a spiritual body, she was no different from a normal human being. This is almost impossible. The reason of the soul is different from that of human beings. Jenkins has never heard of such undead:

　　 "You mean it can be cured before?"

　　 "Yes, it used to be OK, now the hospital is abandoned, don't you even see this?"

The ghost pointed to the surrounding ruined environment a little strangely. There were luminous moss on the walls, dust on the ground, seats piled in the corners, shelves for hanging bottles lying in front of the corridor, and the oil paintings on the walls were gone. , Instead use blood to draw patterns that no one can understand but make people feel hairy:

　　 "Foreigner, can't you really see all this?"

　　 Jenkins can of course see it, but the townspeople just now took it for granted. He thought it was the normal state of the town.

　　 "I... forget it, I don't care what happened in the hospital, but why are you still here?"

　　 He did not directly inquire about the hidden door in the hospital, worrying that this might cause other reactions.

"I?"

　　 Ghost thought for a while:

　　 "I have no other accommodation in the town. I can only stay here. By the way, I tell everyone that the hospital is completely abandoned. Look, am I not telling you now?"

　　 The ghost of the nurse looks sensible, but Jenkins always feels that the other party is probably not normal:

　　 "Well then, I am a foreigner."

"I know."

　　 "......"

　　 Jenkins looked at the ghost who interrupted him and made sure that the other party didn’t want to say anything else, before continuing:

　　 "I want to leave here."

　　 "Every outsider thinks this way."

　　 "So, do you know the other door in the hospital, where is the door leading to another street?"

　　 "Ah! You actually know this, did the beggars in the town tell you?"

　　 "Yes, then do you know about the door?"

　　 Jenkins felt the conversation was boring.

"of course I know."

　　 Jenkins did not continue to ask, but stared at the ghost, who also stared at him, and it seemed that he had just reacted after dozens of seconds:

　　 "Oh, do you want me to tell you the location of the door?"

　　 then blinked at Jenkins, looking forward to his answer.

"Yes it is."

　　 "Well then, I can tell you, but you have to do something for me."

　　 Then blinked at Jenkins again, not like expecting Jenkins to agree, but more like expecting Jenkins to speak.
