Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

"The next game is...hide and seek?" Cheng Shen raised his hand to smooth the dent on his forehead.

The weirdo in the asylum was not very old when he was born. Although his strength was terrifying, he was still a child at heart. It was just because of his childhood experience that his cognition was distorted, and he mistook some extreme behaviors as games.

But as long as you don't touch its two taboos, generally nothing will happen.

First, you must not be malicious.

Second, people related to the Healing Church are not allowed to enter.

Once these two types of people enter the asylum, they will immediately cause a riot and be targeted by terror.

Cheng Shen can use the ability to control his emotions to dispel the malice in his heart and disguise himself as a pure and kind little sheep.

The first taboo is of course nothing to be afraid of.

He has not yet applied for the hunter identity certification and the reward for killing the high priest, and the second clause has been perfectly avoided. Even if he does not cooperate with this group of orphans in playing games, at most he will encounter a little mischief.

The child's temperament.

Of course you have to coax.

But Cheng Shen didn't intend to play with them in depth. As soon as he found the high priest's treasure, he would leave immediately. As for the high priest who said that by clearing three mini-games, he would be recognized by Orphan's Revenge, he didn't want to try it.

"Now I'm a ghost."

The note in Cheng Shen's hand automatically shattered.

【Time limit:29:59】

…

"It doesn't have to be a child...what else could it be?"

Cheng Shen shook his head.

In short, it is definitely not a friendly thing, otherwise there would be no level restrictions for this mission. Although the Orphan Resentment will not deliberately target him, even their pranks are not something ordinary people can bear.

"Find the high priest's treasure first."

Cheng Shen's path is clear.

He releases perception.

My senses, which were already greatly suppressed in the black mist, were even more difficult to move in the asylum, and could only cover a range of less than ten meters.

"One of them hid under the swing..."

Cheng Shen ignored the black shadow that appeared in the world of perception and walked away.

The asylum is divided into primary and secondary buildings. The main structure is still a church used for prayer, but it is also the most severely collapsed. There are two connected low buildings, one is a dormitory and the other is a bell tower, which are relatively well preserved.

"I'm coming to find you."

As Cheng Shen spoke, he walked straight towards the dormitory building. The dead trees on the far side swayed, and several black figures hurried past, as if they were disturbed by his words.

He glanced at it and then looked back in front of him.

The building is built in black and white tones, with dense reliefs and patterns on the surface. The dusty windows are dark inside, and occasionally a pale child's face flashes across. It's like a classic scene in a horror movie.

The door to the dormitory is a heavy iron door.

There's a lock on it.

There was a strand of long black hair in the keyhole, but when Cheng Shen stretched out his hand to touch it, the strand of hair suddenly retracted into the keyhole. His hand touched the lock, and the touch conveyed to him was soft and greasy.

It looks like internal organs.

"Save me..."

A twisted and split human face actually appeared on the iron lock.

jingle……

A small pale hand suddenly stretched out from the crack of the door and threw out a rusty copper key.

Cheng Shen glanced at the key, and now he was faced with two choices.

One is to use the key to open the door and ignore this guy's pleas.

The second is to comply with his wishes.

Help him out.

Cheng Shen thought for a second and picked up the key on the ground, "He should be a staff member of the former asylum. The orphans resented the fact that he transformed it into this shape and suffered torture. It must be because he had bullied the orphans."

help him,

It's like going against Orphan Resentment.

Cheng Shen certainly knows how to choose.

Card.

The key was inserted into the lock cylinder.

The twisted human face on the lock immediately began to wail in pain. Its face was full of resentment, and the female voice was shrill and harsh.

"If you don't save me, you will die here!"

Wow!

A large amount of flesh and blood mixed with black hair squirmed out from the lock, instantly swallowing half of Cheng Shen's forearm, and then poured towards him.

To swallow him whole!

Cheng Shen's eyes flickered.

Peng!

A dull explosion sound suddenly came from the monster's body, and its body suddenly expanded in a circle, and then the surface cracked with red lines, revealing the flames flowing like magma inside!

"Since you have done something wrong, you must accept the punishment."

Cheng Shen said softly.

He certainly didn't have any good feelings or empathy for those church members who experimented on children back then. Of course, if pressed, he also had no good feelings for the weirdness that now occupies this asylum.

It is nothing more than a matter of interest selection.

The flesh and blood burned into charcoal and turned into black condensation that fell off piece by piece. In Cheng Shen's swallowed arm, he was holding a human face that was cut into countless bloody pieces.

Just an ordinary resentful spirit could not pose a threat to him, but this scene reminded Cheng Shen.

There should be many such monsters in the asylum who were once church members and were transformed by the resentment of orphans.

Maybe the hints in his mission refer to these things.

"This weird ability is to reshape the structure..." Cheng Shen thought of the words of the high priest. Orphan's Resentment can transform anything into what it wants. To a certain extent, it is very similar to the effect of energy control.

But its abilities are even more perverted.

At least Cheng Shen cannot directly change the form of a living object. His control must be based on the fact that the energy of the object is already under his control.

The Orphan's Resentment can forcibly distort everything within its field of vision at will.

and.

This is just one of its weird abilities.

More information may only be found within the church. It turned the asylum into a forbidden place with just one ability.

"whee……"

From the crack of the unlocked door, a small hand stretched out to ask for something from him, and Cheng Shen handed over the crying face.

"Thank you uncle..."

The child's voice was inaudible amid the woman's screams, but Cheng Shen still heard it.

"What a polite boy."

he sighed.

Push the door open.

Things behind the door suddenly disappeared without a trace. The face crying through the door was loud and clear a second ago. The quiet corridor was filled with a sense of antiquity, and the footprints of children were clearly visible on the ground.

On both sides of the corridor are rooms with numbers written on them.

001,

002,

003……

Some of the doors are broken, and you can see the old facilities inside the room, while some of the doors are blocked tightly from the inside.

"The high priest's former room was 057... deep in the dormitory."

Cheng Shen walked forward.

bite!

As soon as he took a step, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his ears.

[Trigger side mission—night inspection!]

【Night inspection】

【Task】

[Difficulty: lv41~???]

[Explanation: It’s time to go to bed at night, but there are always ignorant children who can’t sleep and play around. The angry instructor will patrol at night. If he catches you not resting in the room, you will be punished]

[Reward: 800,000 experience points, 5 orphan resentment favorability]

[Punishment: None]

[Time limit: 4:38:59]

…

winter,

winter.

As soon as the mission was triggered, Cheng Shen heard footsteps coming from deep in the corridor. The sound was extremely heavy, like a bloated monster moving, and its body kept making friction sounds with the wall.

"The mission was triggered again."

Cheng Shen was a little surprised.

However, this mission should not be one of the three mini-games in Orphan's Revenge.

The game is meant to be played with children, and the content of this task obviously has nothing to do with that.

"The mission lasts nearly five hours... It is just before dawn, which means that this patrolling monster will always exist. But I only need to pick up one thing and leave, there is no need to get rid of it..."

Cheng Shen was thinking in his mind.

The condition of the mission is that it can be completed if it avoids night patrols, but the fourth level of difficulty inevitably makes him want to do it once and for all.

What makes him difficult to deal with is the divine blood monster.

He is not completely unable to deal with ordinary fourth-level monsters.

Hearing the sound, the monster was already approaching the corner ahead and was about to meet him.

Cheng Shen glanced around and saw that most of the rooms on both sides were closed, and closed rooms meant there were children inside.

If he hides in, it will be equivalent to bringing danger to these children.

Analyzing it from the perspective of orphan resentment, I would definitely not want him to do this.

But those empty rooms...

There was probably no way he could avoid the instructor's inspections.

Cheng Shen was still ready to give it a try. He entered a room with a half-broken door. His senses were swept away, and his movements suddenly stopped. He lowered his body and glanced under the bed, and a panicked face came into view.

Wow...

Wow...

The instructor has dragged his heavy body to the corridor where he is.

He shook his head slightly and made a silent gesture with his fingers on his mouth.

Through emotional perception, Cheng Shen could only see deep fear and malice in the child's heart, but the same was true for the orphan resentment he had encountered before.

Therefore it was difficult for him to distinguish its ingredients.

Don't know the details.

He didn't act rashly.

If this was really just a child who sneaked out to play, but was killed by him, the Orphan Resentment would probably go berserk immediately...

He looked around the room and found that the only place to hide was under the bed. After thinking for a moment, he got in and blocked the boy's figure inside. Then he applied multiple disguise and concealment magic in front of him.

Wow...

The sound of the approaching instructor became increasingly clear. In addition, there was a faint wheezing sound in Cheng Shen's ears.

But not his own.

He doesn't need things like heartbeat and breathing at all. It has to be said that he is more like an inhuman monster than the boy behind him.

The sound is closer.

Bang!

The sound of the door being opened was heard in the corridor, and then it was slammed shut again.

Cheng Shen frowned and listened for a while.

Suddenly something doesn't feel right.

The instructor seemed to be able to open the closed doors directly without harming the children inside.

Night patrol...

He felt that he must have missed some important information.

Right!

He suddenly thought of it.

The instructor's job is to check whether the children are sleeping and not to sneak out to play. Once it finds no one on the bed, won't it be exposed immediately? The real condition for completion should be to pretend to sleep on the bed!

Bang!

When he thought about this moment, the door opposite the house was pushed open heavily.

Then there was an angry roar.

"Who! No! Rest! Rest!"

The roar resounded.

Cheng Shen silently glanced at the boy hiding behind him and asked, "Did you run out from the opposite room?"

"Um……"

The boy nodded with a horrified expression.

"Sure enough..." Cheng Shen sighed, knowing that this task was not that simple.

Wow!

The bloated instructor outside the door instantly disintegrated into countless arm-thick meat worms, which spread like a tide and crawled toward each room.

Cheng Shen's room was also opened.

He hid under the bed, right near the door, and as soon as the flesh insect crawled in, it was almost right in front of his face.

Densely packed flesh strands squirmed beneath its body, like countless slender tentacles. The tissue on the front of its head, which should be its head, was twisted into an angry human face. Wherever it passed, slippery mucus was left on the ground.

The concealment magic that is not too deep is really brilliant when it is enhanced by the invisible touch.

Meatworms were crawling around every corner of the room, but they couldn't be seen.

Just in this way,

Cheng Shen couldn't go to Room 57 to find the high priest's treasure.

"It must be led away." His feeling spread out of the room and touched a soft sound in an empty room a few walls away.

Suddenly.

The squirming fleshworms wandering in the corridor rushed towards the room crazily. The scene was extremely spectacular!

"Just hide here and don't move..." Cheng Shen said, and immediately felt something was wrong. It was unrealistic to expect a frightened child to be obedient. Children of this age are rebellious and restless.

He simply pulled the boy out from under the bed, took him out of the room, and quickly ran deeper into the corridor while maintaining the effect of the concealment magic.

When he finds the relic, he immediately uses the teleportation ability of invisible touch to leave.

Whatever hide-and-seek, or instructor, it has nothing to do with him.

"roar!"

The instructor next door seemed to realize that he had been deceived, and a large number of flesh bugs poured out of the room.

Cheng Shen had already reached the corner of the corridor. There were two roads ahead, one on the left and one on the right. He walked directly to the corridor on the left according to the house number. At this time, the boy under his arm suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes and screamed in horror.

.

"You mean there's danger on this road?"

Cheng Shen paused in his steps.

"Um!

"

The boy nodded vigorously.

Cheng Shen had no doubt that he was there, and his perception spread, covering all the rooms in the corridor. But as before, those rooms with closed doors had a special force that prevented him from seeing clearly inside.

"Is room 57 this way?"

Cheng Shen asked.

"……Um."

The boy hesitated for a moment before replying.

"That's right!"

Cheng Shen heard this and said decisively that the danger the boy mentioned was not necessarily a danger to him, but maybe it was just something he was afraid of. In short, he had only one purpose, and it was not to explore the building in depth.
