War Paradise

"Hello, Adam."

The video on the TV obviously does not respond to the victim's words. The doll with extremely high cheekbones and two red circles painted on its face. The pale face trembles slightly, and the chin opens and closes mechanically, continuing to emit synthetic electrons. sound:

"In the online world, people can communicate unrestrictedly over long distances. For the vast majority of ordinary users, it is almost impossible to find out the true identities of netizens."

"So, some despicable and mean bastards began to make fun of others in this virtual space by insulting and ridiculing others at will. People call them ‘spitters’, or to put it in a better way-‘keyboard man’.”

"You are an incompetent sprayer, leaving dirty sentences in various comment areas every day, wantonly slandering and insulting other people."

"Now, let's see, when you really have a choice, do you choose to save your own life with humiliation, or just face the cruel Death as you said on the Internet?"

"Kill me." Lin Chi's tone was extremely decisive.

After hearing the "self" described by the other party, Lin Chi at this time had no desire to survive. After all, he also hates creatures like "sprayers". Although it is a 10,000-year diving party who never speaks, when visiting game forums occasionally, it is very unpleasant to see those guys who do not agree with each other.

However, having said that, I still have to try it after all.

Leaning on the metal chair, the icy cold flowing from behind all over his body, Lin Chi could feel that the fear and panic in this illusion seemed to be magnified a lot.

If those things can be overcome by "perseverance", this character's weak body cannot be compensated by his own spirit.

Maybe it's because he can only type on the keyboard all the year round. The character's body is as virtual as if he has been knocked on medicine, and his whole body is aching. Only his hands are abnormally strong. At first glance, he has been engaged in some kind of exercise for many years.

Buzzing...

Accompanied by the sound of the mechanical engine starting, a mirror mounted on the sliding rail moved slowly in front of Lin Chi.

Until this time, Lin Chi finally saw the "truth" of his character.

His thin body was fixed on a metal chair, and some liquid was flowing down his trouser legs. "Adam" had very sturdy hands and a rusty metal mask on his head, revealing only a pair of brown eyes.

Since the "inner" of this character was replaced by Lin Chi, Adam's eyes were normal at this time, and he didn't seem to panic.

He quietly waited for the doll on the TV screen and continued to explain the rules of the game.

Soon, the ugly doll spoke again:

"The twenty-seven years of your life have been meaningless and worthless. Now you are fighting for your own life for the first time."

"The device on your head is inlaid with one hundred and fifty steel nails. These nails will pop out in two minutes and drive through your useless head."

"The key to the helmet is on the table on your right. Are you willing to sacrifice your keyboard hand in exchange for your own freedom?"

The picture on the TV screen disappeared, and another table slowly moved along the track. The edge of the table was densely inlaid with upward blades, revealing only the gaps for fingers to pass through.

If he could untie the metal ring on his left hand, he could stand up and get the key. But now, Lin Chi knew very well that he could only get the key from the table by hurting "Adam"'s right hand.

His left hand and feet are fixed on the chair, and his range of physical movement is extremely limited.

At this time, a timer reflected in the mirror had already started counting down.

One minute and fifty-nine seconds.

One minute and fifty-eight seconds.One minute and fifty-seven seconds.

"All right."

Looking at the beating Death countdown number, Lin Chi took a deep breath and stretched his right hand into the trap made up of blades.

The key ring is in the center of the table, and you can reach it with just one finger. You can take out the key and unlock the "Death helmet" on your head.

"Wait a minute, is that really the case?"

Looking at the blood-stained blades, Lin Chi suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The trap here seems to be that this self-harming device was designed in consideration of the extreme panic of the victim. But as long as you calm down and think about it a little bit, you will find an obvious fact:

The right hand was cut into a crippled hand by the blade, even if he got the key, he couldn't open the lock.

To get rid of this Death trap, other methods may be needed.

Lin Chi raised his right hand and reached out to touch the back of his head wearing the helmet. He did not find the keyhole. Instead, he touched a small button on the metal collar on the back of his neck.

"Is it this?"

Lin Chi put his finger on the bump and hesitated for a moment.

——That thing may also be the switch of the helmet mechanism. If you choose the wrong one, you will immediately be headshot to death. but now……

Facing the first "life and death decision", Lin Chi thought for a while, and decisively pressed the button on the back of his neck.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the helmet suddenly opened from behind.

Lin Chi, who finally breathed the fresh air, was too happy, and noticed a sudden change in the time flow rate of the timer:

The timer screen that originally read 1:32, the number on it has become 1.32!

Within 1.32 seconds of the helmet's activation, Lin Chi suddenly took off the thing with his right hand and threw the helmet under his feet.

Snapped!

The mechanism of one hundred and fifty steel nails was activated in an instant, forming a "Death Array" that was impossible to avoid. Looking at the nails protruding from the helmet, Lin Chi let out a sigh of relief.

"Did I pass?" he said grimly.

Although the Death helmet was lifted, this illusion did not end.

It seems that the original owner of this body should have survived this level and entered the next level.

Lin Chi looked at the pale face of "Adam" in the mirror, as well as the strands of hair sticking to his skull, soaked in sweat. After waiting for a while, the doll's picture appeared on the TV screen again:

"Two minutes passed...you are still alive. Congratulations, Mr. Adam."

Accompanied by the sound of the doll, there is also the cheering and applauding sound effect commonly used in TV shows. It is quite ironic to use in this kind of scene.

"I thought that a poor bug like you would become unable to think under extreme tension. It seems that I made a mistake."

"However, please don't be too complacent. The test for you has just begun. It was just a warm-up just now..."

"It feels uncomfortable to be tied to the seat? You may not know that this chair is a specially modified electric chair. Even if you don't wear a helmet, the electric current it releases can turn you into a barbecue. "

"For the sake of completing the first level, I can release your feet. You only need to find a way to release the lock of your left hand. This time the time limit is still two minutes. You are willing to sacrifice own left hand in exchange for surviving Chance? Let's wait and see."

After that, the disgusting doll disappeared again. The metal ring on Lin Chi's feet was suddenly opened.

After lifting his feet, Lin Chi used his hands and feet to break free from the entangled iron chains, but the metal ring that held his left hand still locked his wrist firmly.

"Dry……"

Seeing that the number on the timer started again, it has jumped to thirty-two seconds. Lin Chi tried hard to pull out his hand, but the result was naturally wasted.

If you pick up the helmet and smash the bones of your left hand, you can break free from the bracelet. But in this way, the "Keyboard Man" who lost a hand is probably not far from death.

The most powerful part of Keyboard Man Adam is his two hands. If you abolish one hand, it is actually no different from suicide.

Even if you smash your hand to escape temporarily, the ensuing bleeding cannot be dealt with. If you want to escape from this cage, what you have to do is...

"Is my thumb stuck?"

Lin Chi looked down at Own's left hand, and noticed that the other four fingers should be pulled out, but they were blocked by his thumb.

That being the case, there is no need to say more about what to do.

He held Own's left thumb with his right hand and twisted it with all his strength.

With a crisp sound, the piercing pain almost triggered the sudden death system, and a red halo appeared in front of Lin Chi's eyes.

But at this time, he had no time to scream, he just pulled out his left hand suddenly and ran forward two steps.

After a sizzling electric current, green smoke appeared on the metal chair. Lin Chi looked down at own's left hand, and saw that his thumb, which had completely lost its joints, was swaying with the movement of his hand.

——Since the thumb is stuck, just twist it to a position that cannot be reached under normal circumstances. In this way, the use of a hand that might have been scrapped has also become a scrapped finger.

"what."

Lin Chi moved his legs weakened by sitting for a long time, stood in front of the TV, and raised his middle finger contemptuously with his right hand:

"Say something quickly, don't waste time."

As if hearing his call, the doll’s big face appeared on the TV screen again:

"Adam, you saved your own life for the cost of a comminuted fracture with your left hand. But...how many organs can you use in the next test?"

"Did the original'Adam' really escaped by smashing hands?"

Lin Chi, who was still in the Death game, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the words of the doll.

The environment I am in comes from the memories of the deceased before his death, and the rhetoric of the doll will not change because of own choice.

According to the doll, the original owner of this memory, Adam, must have escaped from the electric chair by abolishing his left hand.

If this is the case, Adam, who suffered a comminuted fracture in his left hand, should not be able to live long.

As long as you can survive Adam's death, you can successfully break through this Death game!

"Look at this room. You are in the drainage system. Humans in the civilized world will never be able to reach this corner. Only mice and cockroaches, as well as parasites living here, are with you."

"Very suitable, right? This kind of room is suitable for scum like you. I know that if you can find a computer here, you will immediately brag about your own ‘tough guy’s experience’ on the Internet."

"Now, I will give you a chance to become a'tough guy.' Is it to escape from here, or to become a headline on the front page of the newspaper? It's your time to make a decision again.""Find a way to open that door, don't be too fast... and don't be too slow, take good care of the time, just like when you are hired and posted regularly on the Internet."

"This is your final trial, Adam."

boom!

The TV screen suddenly exploded, and fragments splashed in all directions, but before the explosion, Lin Chi was already squatting in the corner with his head in his hands.

He had experienced a similar situation in another game before, and he was already prepared to deal with such traps.

However, this "last trial" seems to be very troublesome.

Lin Chi stood in front of the only metal door in this dirty storage room, tried to hold the handle with his left hand, and pulled it slightly.

The door was tightly closed, and there was no sign of opening at all. There is a small keyhole next to the handle, which should require a key to open.

——So, is the key to open the door the one just now?

Lin Chi returned to the electric chair and picked up the key that was not used just now from the table surrounded by sharp blades.

He tried to insert the key into the keyhole, and the process turned out to be surprisingly smooth.

However, it may not be time yet.

Recalling what the doll said, "Don't be too fast or too slow." Lin Chi knew very well that if he opened the door rashly, he would most likely end up in Death.

"Well……"

Following the doll's last tips, Lin Chi began to look for clues available in this dirty basement.

...

At the same moment, in Helgen's dungeon, Moria still stood motionless in the mist.

"Owner……"

She shook Lin Chi's shoulder vigorously, but found that Lin Chi was still looking dizzy, his body collapsed to the ground, and there was no sign of waking up at all.

"Vampires who follow human beings are quite rare..."

Auguste, who didn’t know where he was hiding, wafted out of the fog: “I’ve seen a kin being killed by a vampire hunter, and I’ve also met a woman whose blood was sucked up by Dracula. Tell me, like you. Such a kind of blood... why follow in the footsteps of a human being?"

"That has nothing to do with you," Molliya said coldly.

At this time, she was completely uninterested in chatting with August, just continued to try to wake up the owner of own.

At this moment, August put forward a new proposal:

"Since you are so persistent, then I also give you a chance. If you can defeat me in a duel, how about I release your master?"

As soon as these words came out, Moria raised her head and asked in a cold voice, "What if it fails?"

"You will be overwhelmed." August's answer was simple.

"Come on then..."

Moliya clenched her fists, her eyes suddenly turned red, and the fangs sticking out of her mouth were stained with fresh blood:

"The sad ‘God’, you will understand the true limit of the blood race."
