The Master of the Strange Realm

Mr. Hood said, and the others also agreed with this decision, so they each chose a cabinet to open. The other four people did not choose the cabinet where Mr. Corpse had repeatedly sat up and lay down. After all, luck could not be that "good". Jenkins hesitated for a moment and did not choose that one. Instead, he chose the morgue cabinet in the lower left corner of the cabinet.

"The writer tiptoed and opened the morgue. There was only a corpse turned into white bones. It must have been lying here before the hospital was abandoned. He was shocked, but it was not serious;

The Dame knelt down and opened the morgue. There was nothing inside, and she was a little disappointed;

The businessman's daughter opened the morgue with great effort, but there was nothing inside. After passing the investigation, she found some slight scratches on the inner wall of the cabinet, but it was too old to be able to identify them. Whether it was scratched out by human fingernails;

The sailor opened the morgue in silence, and there was some powder in a glass bottle. The writer and the countess threw the occult...all through, and they found that it was the ground powder of the moon stone, and it was made recently. , can still be used;

The noble lady opened the morgue, and he saw the iron jar inside, the transparent resin tube connected to it and an extremely thin syringe.

The skeletons carried by the writer changed again, and now only the skull remains intact. After your next round of actions, the corpses will all be shattered. "

Mr. Corpse prompted.

"syringe?"

Mr. White Cat repeated the word questioningly. The injection equipment was in the cabinet that Brienne opened.

Only Jenkins knows what this is. Like the ground powder of the moonstone found by the sailor, these are the artifacts that Mr. Corpse placed here to participate in the party. The former is probably a trade item between him and a certain party participant, and the latter is B-01-2-8100 [Elemental Blood] that has been used many times, a kind of weapon that can elementally evolve the random ability of the giver. Specially numbered items.

"Why is the syringe here?"

Mr. White Cat was puzzled, and then guessed:

"Could this injection equipment be the source of the curse?"

"Let the writer use mystical science to identify it."

Seeing that Mr. White Cat's thoughts had gone astray, Jenkins immediately reminded him to prevent them from setting fire to the syringe.

"It takes a long time to identify this set of instruments, so it will take up the next action round. Are you sure?"

"Wait a minute, we only have one round of action left before we have to decide whether to destroy the bones. We can't waste the opportunity now."

Hathaway followed suit.

What she said made sense, and whether she knew it was Class B extraordinary [Elemental Blood] didn't mean much to the explorers.

"So what should we do next? In the next round, choose one person to burn the skeleton, and the other four will then open the morgue to look for clues? Or let our five friends bear the curse, and all five of them will open the cabinet to look for clues?"

Hathaway asked, as the skeleton was now in the body of the writer she was manipulating.

"Maybe we have other options. Wouldn't it be possible to end this by burning the strange injection equipment? Although there is no chance of investigation, it is really strange that that equipment appears in the basement."

Mr. White Cat was obsessed with the syringe, and his thoughts reached a dead end.

"The syringe is not important. What is important is the secret of the morgue. The manipulator behind the scenes and Mr. Corpse tried every possible means to lure us here. They definitely didn't want us to burn the syringe."

After Jenkins finished speaking, he glanced at Mr. Corpse, who showed no reaction to his words.

"What Mr. Candle said makes sense, so let's vote. Should the last curse be carried by our friends, or should it be temporarily thrown to Nolan so that Nolan can collect all the curses."

Mr. Hood finally concluded. Seeing that the others were silent, he said straightforwardly:

"Those who agree not to deal with it and let the curse take effect on our friends, please raise your right hand; those who agree to burn the bones with fire and release the curse to Nolan, please raise your left hand... Well, since neither Make a statement, then I’ll go first.”

As he spoke, he raised his right hand. Immediately afterwards, Hathaway raised her left hand. Her lovers were all here. Jenkins understood why she made this decision.

"This is so difficult. I haven't had to make such a difficult decision since my father asked me to choose a birthday gift from a doll and a storybook when I was thirteen."

Miss Magic said, and Mr. Hood made a unanimous choice, so that only Jenkins and Mr. White Cat were left without action.

Chapter 1340 Chapter 1317 “Self-Sacrifice” (1/11)

"I have done some research on curses. Once the full share of the curse is completely spread to Nolan, I am afraid that Nolan will become the next 'abandoned hospital' and then become a restricted area on the west coast of the mainland. If our friends are responsible for it, I think they will I can survive at least two or three rounds, and maybe I can find the root of the curse in these corpse cabinets... I hope, my Lord bless me."

While explaining her actions, Miss Magic raised her right hand and used her left hand to draw the holy symbol of the [God of Ritual and Mystery] on her chest and pray.

Mr. White Cat and Jenkins, who still did not express their opinions, looked at each other in confusion. Suddenly, a thunder and lightning exploded outside the window, and the white light illuminated the two men. Even though Mr. White Cat was wearing a hood, Jenkins knew he must have a very troubled expression.

"I support Mr. Bailing!"

Mr. White Cat raised his hand before Jenkins when thunder and lightning rumbled in the stormy Nolan outside the window.

"It's not that I really made the decision, but once I chose the decision of Mr. Hood and Miss Magic, it meant that they got three votes and I made the decision for them; on the contrary, I supported Mr. Lark, It becomes a two-to-two situation, and Mr. Candle will make the final decision.”

After speaking, he bowed his head slightly towards Jenkins:

"Sorry, Mr. Candle, I'm not good at making such decisions, so please forgive me for leaving the final decision to you."

The situation suddenly became a two-to-two situation. The decision made by Mr. White Cat was very critical. With only five people voting, he pushed Jenkins to the most critical position.

"Are you sure that the final decision will be made by me?"

Jenkins hesitated and asked again.

"Obviously we have no better way. To be more precise, Mr. Candle, no matter what decision you make, I think everyone can accept it."

Mr. Hood said, and everyone else nodded, even Hathaway.

Jenkins sighed and looked at the five wooden sculptures on the table in the morgue with some embarrassment.

"I wonder if there is a way to bring the curse of the fifth skeleton together into one person, just like what the five skeletons did before they died."

"What does it mean?"

Mr. White Cat asked in confusion.

"We don't want the city to bear all the complete curses, and we don't want our friends who participated in the expedition to die because of the curse. Therefore, the best way is to put all the curses on someone in the hospital. To be more precise, Gather it to one of the explorers, so that other people and the city don’t have to worry.”

Jenkins explained.

"This is not difficult. My friend the Baroness has relevant knowledge and can make a living person absorb the curse. This can be done. So, what you mean is..."

Miss Magic asked hesitantly.

"Yes, I think it's better for Mr. Writer to bear the fifth curse."

Jenkins said in a very regretful tone, the eyes of the cat on the table widened even more, and Mr. Corpse also looked at him.

"Mr. Candle... Do you also know that Williamte and have a grudge against him?"

Mr. Hood was a little skeptical.

"No, I don't have any grudge against him. Haven't you noticed? From the beginning of the story to now, Mr. Lark has only failed once every time he throws the dice. This is luckier than all of us. I don't know this is The unique fate of a writer is that Mr. Bai Ling himself has good gambling skills or is favored by fate, but letting the writer bear the curse is probably the best outcome now..."

Jenkins didn't mind too much about betraying himself. First of all, he is not very sure whether the curse is effective on him. After all, he is protected by the sage, and his soul is a real soul, so ordinary curses are completely invalid; secondly, even the [story within the story] cannot be used for the story. The explorer writers added the trait of not being affected by the curse, which won't bother Jenkins himself for the time being, it all depends on how the story ends.

"This proposal is really..."

Mr. Hood couldn't find a suitable adjective, so he looked at Hathaway in embarrassment:

"Mr. Bailing, Mr. Candle just made a proposal, you don't have to be embarrassed by it. You can choose not to agree, and we will continue to discuss the second round of voting later."

He said this, and then Miss Magic and Mr. White Cat echoed this opinion. They are all decent people and will not force others to sacrifice their friends.

"Yes, Mr. Bailing, you can completely disagree. I am just suggesting it...but you must understand that releasing the curse to the city may cause irreparable consequences; and if five people bear this together, The last part of the curse is that ordinary people among explorers, I mean sailors, businessmen’s daughters, and noble ladies, will most likely not survive until the end of the story.”

Jenkins pointed this out and was scolded by Mr. Hood for the first time. In Mr. Hood's opinion, Mr. Candle is forcing Mr. Lark to sacrifice his friend.

In fact, Jenkins did mean this in the eyes of others, but he was the one who truly made the fearless sacrifice. After all, from a practical point of view, he is proposing to bear the curse himself, which is a truly selfless act.

"this......"

Just like Mr. White Cat left a difficult decision to Jenkins, Jenkins now is equivalent to leaving a helpless decision to Hathaway. She opened her mouth to say something, but immediately closed it, looking at the wooden sculptures of Britney and the writer who were close together in the set, and at Nolan in the storm.

Her face is half bright and half dark in the firelight of the fireplace, which is a good representation of the battle between heaven and man in her heart.

She did not answer immediately, and everyone else also understood the entanglement in Bai Ling's heart, so they were waiting for her to make up her mind, but there was one person who didn't want to wait:

"If you don't decide on the next round of action, I will assume that the five explorers have been in a daze for a while and there is no action in this round."

Mr. Corpse interjected, then looked at Hathaway:

“Please make your decision within half a minute and don’t delay the story with silence.”

"Mr. Candle!"

As soon as Mr. Corpse finished speaking, Hathaway immediately said loudly, scaring everyone around the table... Mr. Corpse does not count as a human being.

"Yes, I am here? What do you want?"

Jenkins was petting the cat when he was frightened, and then he touched the cat harder because of the fright. Now he had to fight with the chocolate with one hand, while talking to Hathaway.

"Do you know Jenkins Willamette?"

Chapter 1341 Chapter 1318 Story and Reality (2/11)

After hearing Hathaway's question, for a moment, Jenkins thought that his identity was exposed, but he immediately rejected this view and nodded calmly:

"I've met him at least a few times."

"After I commissioned you to investigate him last fall, have you learned more about this person?"

Hathaway's question was extremely sharp, and Jenkins almost guessed the purpose of Hathaway's inquiry, so he said straightforwardly:

"I know what you want to ask. I am not his enemy, and there is no deep hatred between us. Rather, he and I are more like friends, although he will not admit this."

Jenkins swears that the above sentence is absolutely true. He hoped his sincerity would impress Hathaway, and indeed, he did.

"Well, I have made a decision. In the next round, the writer will follow the Baroness's instructions and absorb all the curses into his body."

She spoke word by word, and everyone could hear the determination required to make this decision, as well as Bai Ling's inner distress.

"If this is really done, the Baroness's action must be to throw occultism and teach the writer how to absorb the curse, and no other actions can be taken."

Mr. Corpse reminded.

"Okay, that's no problem."

Miss Magic nodded in agreement.

So in the next round of action, only three people can freely choose to open the cabinet. Jenkins discovered [Elemental Blood] in the last round and determined that the abandoned hospital in the story really fully reflected the abandoned hospital in reality, and then deduced all the unreasonable things the adventurers encountered in the hospital, including inexplicable The wild wolves and ghouls that appeared, the broken stairs, and the cursed skeletons leading to the morgue were most likely the work of Mr. Corpse.

His purpose is unknown, but at least Jenkins understands that he is inducing everyone to come here, and he is coming here with the maximum attrition.

So in the next round, he did not choose to open the morgue where Mr. Corpse appeared at the party. Instead, he chose any one in the corner, hoping to wait for the curse's effect on the writer to appear before making any plans. The other two people were also very lucky. The morgue cabinet opened by one person was empty, while the other cabinet was full of dirt. I don't know who was so bored that he put the dirt here.

"In the manner provided by the Countess, the young writer absorbed all the curses contained in the remaining skeletons.

The curse has taken effect. From now on, all the writer's constitution checks need to be increased by 30. and......"

"Protest, the writer's body is special, and most curses are ineffective on him. Even if they are effective, it is absolutely impossible to be completely caused by the effect!"

Hathaway said loudly.

"Updating the character card...Okay, the curse is still in effect, but due to the writer's special physical condition, from now on, all the writer's physical determination throwing points will be increased by 5..."

He paused, which Jenkins assumed was meant to express shock.

"Furthermore, before each subsequent round of action, the writer will encounter an accident. He needs to throw an extra round of luck, and according to the current location, throw [Physique] [Dexterity] [Intelligence] [Strength] [Spirit] [Will] If one of the six items [lucky] fails, the character will die directly. You have no clues from the morgue this round. Please make a decision for the next round."

The expression under Hathaway's mask should be quite bad, but with [Stage of Destiny] around, Jenkins is not worried about himself. As long as this delay continues, sooner or later the five people will choose the morgue where Mr. Corpse lies. Jenkins knows that he must think of a solution as soon as possible.

So in the next round of operations, Jenkins did not choose to check the morgue like others, but chose to let Bryony [investigate] the morgue. Before this round of operations, several rocks fell from the sky and hit the writer because the ceiling was in disrepair.

It's just that Hathaway passed all the [Luck] and [Dexterity] throws, so the writer didn't die.

“The sailor opened the morgue, it was empty;

The Countess opened the morgue, and there was a broken test tube inside;

The writer opened the morgue, which was empty;

The merchant's daughter opened the morgue, and inside there were two ordinary stones;

The noble lady observed the morgue, rolled the dice... and found that there were many people's footprints on the ground, most of which appeared recently. "

"This shows that the church also inspected this place. They probably opened all the cabinets, but why didn't they take away strange things like syringes, stones and ritual materials?"

Mr. White Cat asked in confusion.

"This shows that the morgue is indeed very strange, and someone is deliberately concealing what is happening here, even the church has been deceived. But the explorers in the story seem to have been deliberately lured here. I think it is clear that our friends are in danger, and someone is watching all this behind the scenes!"

Jenkins answered this way, and then reasoned:

"What can you think of when you think of the morgue?"

"Death, ghosts, horror rumors and corpses."
