Weird deep sea game, I can fish unlimitedly

[The seventh cycle ends, all players return to the player world, and the eighth cycle begins. 】

Following the system prompts, Li Feng's eyes instantly changed.

With dim lights, soft beds, and long blackout curtains, he returned to the familiar bedroom.

I picked up the mobile phone placed on the bedside and glanced at the time. It was August 15th, exactly 0:00.

Just like before, time has returned to half a month ago.

Hearing the patter of rain, Li Feng got up from the bed, walked to the window, and opened one side of the curtain.

Outside the window, on the neon-polluted sky, drizzle was falling at the moment.

Looking at the ordinary night scene outside the window, Li Feng took a deep breath and temporarily stayed away from the world full of extraordinary things, which made him feel like he was on vacation.

"Snapped."

Suddenly, a drop of rain hit the glass in front of Li Feng.

Looking at the water droplets mixed with neon lights, Li Feng suddenly remembered:

‘It seemed like it didn’t rain before the last time we traveled. ’

Recalling the weather half a month ago, Li Feng picked up his phone and casually looked at the weather forecast.

The forecast was just cloudy, but it didn't say it would rain.

But this was also a common thing, and Li Feng didn't pay attention.

Open the chat channel. Because the players have just returned, the chat channel is relatively lively.

Li Feng browsed through it briefly and saw that most of the players were chatting and nothing important happened.

Feeling like he was on vacation again, Li Feng turned off the lights and went to sleep.

…

"If you like corpses, you might be interested in my stepdaughter."

"There are always some people among us with special quirks. Is there anything in the forest that would make him happy?"

"I regret it so much. I should have cut off her head, arms, and legs. I should have ordered my men to throw all her limbs into the fire.

I should order archers to guard the fire and shoot down any animal that flies out of the fire. Bats, crows, and birds will not be spared.

However, I did not do this, so I paid a huge price. "

"There are no inhabitants in the forest anymore. For the sake of my border, I can only do this."

"There are no inhabitants in the forest anymore and there is no food. I think my stepdaughter will eat this apple."

"Throw away the apple, I was wrong, I shouldn't have used the apple, I should have used the dagger.

I was too cowardly to confront her, and I paid the price. "

In the early morning of August 15, Li Feng sat at his desk after a good sleep.

On the table in front of him were six exquisite colorful ribbons filled with text.

And a cinnabar cup, a grain of moonlight in a glass bottle, a rusty dagger, a bottle of python blood, and a winter snowflake also in a bottle.

There is also an apple.

This is the performance prop Li Feng got on the sixth floor in front of the Sadness Theater.

As for those ribbons, he got them after fishing for props.

Think back to the theater of sorrow where seven lights were on but nothing else happened.

And what the troll said before returning -

“The real story begins when all seven lights of the Theater of Sorrow come on.”

Besides that:

“The monster from the theater of sorrow is coming out.”

Obviously, these clues indicate that the Theater of Sadness is not over yet.

However, Li Feng is still lucky that at this point in time, he has returned to the player world.

In other words, facing the strange performances and the inexplicable sentences on the ribbon, he had half a month to solve the mysteries.

Li Feng thought this way, and took out the props he obtained after passing through the seventh floor of the theater from his system backpack.

That piece of dirty rag covered with writing.

She looked like a used rag, but judging from the cutting of the corners and the position of the stitching, it seemed that the rag turned out to be a piece of clothing.

Li Feng once tried to fish it, but it seemed to be just a piece of rag. Li Feng only got a fragile twine.

It is completely different from the previous six props that allow him to fish for exquisite ribbons.

This made Li Feng wonder, is this piece of clothing really a prop?

Recalling the last level of the show, the stepdaughter returned to the palace under the protection of a neighboring prince, and the vicious stepmother abdicated and returned the throne to her stepdaughter.

Afterwards, the stepdaughter was crowned amidst the cheers and love of the people.

In such a gorgeous happy ending, there are indeed no dirty rags.

Look back at six more clean and presentable props on the table.

The cinnabar cup is something produced by the first-tier mother.

A grain of moonlight appeared when the prince from a neighboring country on the second level left his stepmother the Queen standing in front of the window to freeze.

The rusty short knife was used by the hunters on the third level to dig out the stepdaughter's heart.

The blood of pythons, winter snowflakes, and apples are four, five, and six layers, and are the materials used by the queen as the stepmother to make poison.

Li Feng recalled the performance again, confirming the stories on the first six floors and the props that appeared in the stories.

They are clear, regular, and traceable.

After thinking about this clearly, Li Feng turned his attention back to the rag with a sudden change in painting style.

On it, there are a few lines of dry red characters, which are the language of the ancestors.

Li Feng once asked Xia to translate it, and she said that it said:

"They said many evil things about me about my subjects, and only a little truth was used to support the whole lie.

In the endless time, they put the story on the stage again and again, even if there was no audience in the audience.

The curse attached to my body will never be lifted. In the incinerator, the goose fat rubbed on my skin melted over and over again, making a crackling sound.

They took away my body and my soul, but my story belongs only to me. "

There was still light rain outside the window, and the fine water droplets smeared the glass, making everything outside the window distorted and hazy.

Li Feng took out a pen and paper and began to write down the two versions of the story he had read.

For convenience, Li Feng first identified four roles:

The king, the queen as stepmother, the princess as stepdaughter, and the princes of neighboring countries.

In the first edition, I ignore the words on the ribbons and rags and only restore the content on the stage.

First, the king died, and the vicious queen could not tolerate her stepdaughter, the princess.

Afterwards, the queen ordered the hunter to dig out the princess's heart, but even so, she was still worried and made another poisonous apple.

In addition, the story also shows the queen's disloyalty. She once seduced the prince of a neighboring country in a debauched manner.

But the prince lost his way and rejected her.

Later, the prince met the princess who was poisoned by the queen and died in the forest.

He resurrected her in a way that was not detailed, and then helped the princess return to the palace.

At the end of the story, the evil queen was kicked off the throne, and the innocent princess finally returned home and took back everything that belonged to her.

The kind-hearted princess forgave the queen and invited her to participate in her coronation ceremony.

As for the prince, he is the embodiment of kindness and justice, and has a completely magnificent image.

After writing this story, Li Feng put a question mark behind "The hunter dug out the princess's heart".

Based on his many years of experience as a copywriter, there is a loophole here.

The person who wrote the story should round things out a bit here.

The princess lost her heart, why is she still alive? Why did the queen need to poison her again?

It's obviously unreasonable.

After putting a question mark here, Li Feng moved the pen down and drew a question mark at the place where "the prince lost his way and found his way back".

Based on his knowledge of all kinds of perverted fetishes, the necrophiliac prince did not know how to turn around at that time, but the queen was just pretending not to be like it.

Thinking of these laxities, Li Feng took out a second piece of paper.

He took the rag and ribbon to the edge of the paper and began writing the second version of the story.

The story begins with a young woman marrying a king whose previous wife left behind a girl.

Soon, the young queen discovered that her stepdaughter, the princess, was not like a human being. She was as cold as a corpse.

For unknown reasons, the king died.

The young queen may have believed that the king's death was related to the princess, and she should have told her subjects the same thing.

That's why she was able to hunt down the princess openly and order the hunter to dig out her heart.

But the princess who lost her heart did not die. Instead, she escaped into the forest.

After writing this, Li Feng looked at the ribbons again.

One read "I regret it so much, I should have cut off her head, arms and legs..."

It seems that the young queen later realized that it was useless to just cut out the heart.

Look at the two ribbons at the back:

"There are no inhabitants in the forest anymore. For the sake of my border, I can only do this."

"There are no inhabitants in the forest anymore and there is no food. I think my stepdaughter will eat this apple."

'Um--'

Li Feng's pen paused for a moment before continuing to write.

The princess seemed to make a living by cannibalism. After escaping into the forest, she ate all the residents living in the forest.

The young queen had no choice but to make a poisonous apple to poison her stepdaughter.

After writing this sentence, Li Feng immediately drew an asterisk.

‘The queen knows alchemy and poison making. ’

Thinking back carefully about those performances, Li Feng remembered that on the fourth floor of the theater, the queen had passed through the water and saw that the princess was not dead.

‘So, the queen is not an ordinary person, but an extraordinary being. ’

The story continues.

The poison apple made by the queen got stuck in the princess's throat and she died.

However, that may just be a fake death, but in terms of performance, it should be similar to the state of death.

Then the prince from a neighboring country appears.

The queen wants to win over the prince, but the prince has necrophilia and the queen pretends not to be like it.

The prince left disappointed, and later met the princess in a dead state in the forest.

Disharmoniously imagine what he should have done.

Of course, the princess in the state of death will not move, make a sound, or respond.

And her cold skin was exactly what the prince wanted.

Irresponsible guessing, in the violent impact, the poisonous apple stuck in the throat was knocked out, so the princess came back to life.

‘Hmm… Although it’s very perverted, it fits the character of the prince. ’

Li Feng thinks so from a writing perspective, and...

He looked back at the previous piece of paper.

In the first version of the story, the prince's process of rescuing the princess was very clumsy, as if he had been completely castrated under the watchful eye of the God of Harmony.

But thinking about it from another angle, if the interpretation here is very clear, then the righteous image of Prince Gao Guangwei will collapse.

Moreover, the princess’s weird corpse physique will also be clearly shown.

‘Well... incidents that damage the image must be dealt with imitatively and deleted. ’

Suddenly, Li Feng understood who the author of these seven acts was and who the Theater of Sadness belonged to.

Obviously the princess and the prince.

The story continues in the second edition.

In the forest, the prince somehow fell in love with the princess and decided to help her regain the throne.

Relying on the strength of the country, he did it, and they were kind enough to pardon the queen.

Just like a fairy tale, all the characters end in a happy ending.

But.

Li Feng took the rag obtained from the seventh floor.

The words on it are very similar to the queen's tone.

Try to decipher it.

"They said many evil things about me about my subjects, and only a little truth was used to support the whole lie."

The meaning of this sentence is that after the princess and the prince regained the throne, they said a lot of bad things about the queen to their subjects and distorted the truth.

"In the endless time, they put the story on the stage again and again, even if there was no audience in the audience."

The princess built a theater where the stories she wrote could be played out over and over again.

"The curse attached to my body will never be lifted. In the incinerator, the goose fat rubbed on my skin melted over and over again, making a crackling sound."

The story played out over and over again is actually no ordinary performance, but a curse from the princess to the queen.

Li Feng reread this sentence and felt that after the happy ending, the queen seemed to be disposed of according to the tradition of roast pig.

Li Feng once read in a book that when winter came, the ancestors of mankind would clean the pigs, smear the pig skins with goose fat, and then bake them in an incinerator.

Combined with the writing on the rag, it seems that the queen's skin was also smeared with goose fat and then put into an incinerator to bake.

And not only that, it should be a curse that will never stop as long as the show in the theater continues.

Thinking of this, Li Feng suddenly felt a little creepy.

The ancestors of mankind in the Endless Sea have been around for thousands of years at least.

In this case, the queen has been roasted over and over again in the incinerator for thousands of years.

Suddenly I remembered the name of the Theater of Sadness.

'Sad indeed. ’

Keep looking down.

"They took away my body and my soul, but my story belongs only to me."

This should be the queen's last insistence and accusation.

After writing the second version of the story, Li Feng placed the two pieces of paper side by side on the table.

These are two almost completely different stories from two different perspectives.

Thinking again of what the troll said last night——

"The story played out in the theater may not be completely credible. There is another version.

Just like history, every historian will write a different history. "

'Rashomon...'

The sky outside the window was overcast and the drizzle was still drizzling. Li Feng felt a little emotional.

But as an audience member, Li Feng let reason prevail. He took out a third piece of paper and wrote down his own judgment.

First, next to the word "princess," he wrote:

"The whole body is cold and looks like a corpse. It is an unknown monster that can use curses and will not die even if it loses its heart."

Secondly, he wrote next to the entry for "Queen":

"An extraordinary person who knows alchemy and poison-making skills, and can do divination through water."

It seems that no matter what, they are not ordinary people.

I roughly sorted out the plot of watching the drama in the past half month.

Putting down his pen, Li Feng felt relaxed and looked at the rain outside the window.

'The troll said last night that the way to kill monsters is hidden in stories. ’

Although he is still certain about this method, at least he has sorted out the story.

Moreover, there are still 14 and a half days until the next time he travels, so he still has enough time to study slowly.

So, there's no rush.

After checking the time, Li Feng was about to get up and eat.

But the moment he stood up, he suddenly noticed that the number of unread messages in the system chat channel was soaring at an abnormal speed.

Opening it immediately to check, Li Feng turned to the source of the news.

*: "Everyone, something is wrong! Go online and see. After the pig is killed, the pig's heart beats alone for an hour after being separated from the chest!

! "

*: "??? The one upstairs is an unscrupulous self-media."

*: "That's not true. I'm watching it. There's a video. Just search for pig heart."

*: "No, it's real or fake. Let me take a look too... Damn it!"

*: "Everyone, please take a look, I think it will be deleted soon."

*: "Wait a minute, isn't this caused by the extraordinary influence of the game world again?"

*: "Oh my god, is there no peace again?"

Looking at the chat channel, Li Feng quickly picked up his phone and searched for "pig heart" on the short video software.

Soon, a video with the most views popped up.

The video shows a farmyard, an open space where drizzle is falling.

An ordinary pig heart, with all its blood vessels cut off and without any other organs, was left alone on the ground.

But the strange thing is that the pig's heart seems to be intact in the pig's chest, still beating powerfully and abruptly.

Li Feng first downloaded the video and then opened the comment area.

Netizens who don’t know about the existence of supernatural beings obviously haven’t broken their hearts about science yet.

Most of them are questioning that bloggers use special effects and the like to deceive views, but the bloggers being questioned are also replying to comments.

Among the rapidly increasing comments, Li Feng found one where someone asked:

"The pig's heart has been dug out. Is the pig still alive?"

This was obviously a sarcastic comment, but the blogger responded seriously below:

"He's still alive. I was scared to death. I just called the police."

But obviously, his reply became the object of ridicule among more netizens.

There were endless responses such as "I was scared to death too" and "Don't call the police, be careful the police will arrest you".

But Li Feng, who was watching all this, was suddenly frightened.

He looked at the paper on the table where he wrote his guess about the seven acts of the Theater of Sorrow.

On that piece of paper, next to the entry for "Princess" was written:

"An unknown monster that will not die even if it loses its heart."

'this! ’

On his mobile phone, a video that could not be explained by science was playing in a loop, and an idea suddenly came to Li Feng's mind.

Could it be that the monster that is about to appear in the Theater of Sadness has spread its weirdness and extraordinaryness to this world through some method?

Its immortal spell has begun to affect the creatures in the player world?

Having too many bad premonitions, Li Feng opened the chat channel to see news from other players or official players.

But at the same time, he saw an eye-catching announcement in red letters in the chat channel window:

[Announcement of achievement completion:]

[Player No. 2121-0776 has completed the "Immortal Believer" achievement, and the event "Blood Sacrifice" has begun.
