Chapter 327 Key Clues

After Luo Xi made his choice, the pale face showed a strange smile.

Then he said: "No matter how difficult life is, you must believe that there is light ahead. Every despair you feel is actually a bridge to a stronger self."

Luo Xi didn't expect that this ugly thing that looked like a fucking ghost would suddenly give him a bowl of chicken soup.

This was unexpected.

"So, despair is a precious thing, just like gems and gold. If you can find the 'Reward Shrine', you can exchange the karma containing despair for what you need. Of course, the more despair you have, the greater its value, just like a coin with a larger denomination."

After saying that, the pale face shrank back.

The prompt is over.

Kind of funny.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this prompt contains a lot of information.

Even the method of clearing the "Sea of ​​Trees Park" level scene has been fully explained.

"The karma of despair is the Grudge. The more Grudges you fuse, the greater the 'face value'. As long as you find the 'Reward Shrine', you can exchange it for what you want. It may be a card reward, and it must include a way to leave the park safely."

At this time, the misty smoke began to dissipate, and the flesh and blood shrine turned back into its original bronze shrine.

"Blood Rain can change the properties of the shrine. Through this 'information shrine', you can get key clues. Of course, you can also directly eliminate the curse and leave here, but you will get nothing that way. So I said that the rules of this level scene are actually very simple and boring."

After Luo Xi fully understood the gameplay of this level scene, the next thing he did was to find the "reward shrine".

Not surprisingly, the reward shrine can only be produced by the "change attribute".

This is in line with the design principles of boring scenes.

It seems hidden, but in fact, as long as you find the design idea for this kind of scene, the so-called hiding is basically unnecessary.

But this scene is still very difficult and scary for ordinary Memory Collector players.

Because the curse itself is a catalyst that activates one's own fear and despair.

Few people can ignore the biggest danger point in this scene like he does.

Luo Xi started running.

He doesn't hold an umbrella anymore.

The blood rain curse is not directed at the people who remember memories.

Therefore, nothing will happen if the Shiyi people are contaminated by the blood rain. On the contrary, if they are afraid of the unknown harm caused by the blood rain to themselves and become hesitant, they will waste a very long time.

It will also greatly affect the ability to act.

For example, when Luo Xi found a bird's nest on the tree over there, he wanted to climb up to take a look. He couldn't get up with an umbrella, and he would get soaked by the blood rain without an umbrella.

Many people may give up exploring.

This will inevitably lose the opportunity to find the real clues.

So when Luo Xi climbed up along the branches and trunk and saw that there was indeed a small shrine in the bird's nest, he became more certain of the design techniques of this level scene.

Just one sentence.

'Misleading' and 'hiding'.

In the bird's nest shrine, Luo Xi obtained "good fortune".

Specifically, he had a good view from the tree, and at a glance he saw a stone tower hidden in the dense forest in the distance.

And saw a familiar figure over there.

Climbing down the tree, Luo Xi ran towards the stone tower.

Looking from below, you can't see the stone tower hidden in the woods at all. Firstly, there is no road here, and secondly, you need to pass through a dense forest. Only by entering it can you discover what's inside.

The stone tower is not tall. Although it has nine floors, it is a miniature one with a height of only three meters. It is not as tall as the surrounding big trees and is surrounded by them.

The stone tower itself is a shrine.

There is an incense burner with many statues of gods carved inside.

At this moment, a person was standing here. Luo Xi had recognized him when he had seen him before. Now that he was getting closer, he was even more certain.

"Brother Mao!"

Luo Xi shouted.

The latter was shocked, turned his head and looked with ecstasy on his face, but soon shook his head: "Luo Xi, don't come over, it's dangerous here."

There was no one here except the two of them, but Brother Mao was obviously not the kind of person who would talk nonsense.

If he says there is danger, then there must be danger.

Looking again, Luo Xi discovered the reason.

There is a circle of open space around the stone tower, surrounding the tower and surrounded by trees, like an open space of 20 to 30 square meters.

Some places were dug up, just like the pits dug when planting trees, but they were obviously deeper.

It is very suitable for burying people.

There was no grass in this area, and the surrounding land was muddy. Brother Mao stood in the mud without moving.

"There are corpses buried underneath. If you get close and accidentally step on them, you will be immediately contaminated by the curses on the corpses. Luo Xi, you can't see these curses, and I don't want you to see them. You must never step into this area."

Brother Mao said at this time.

Eyes look down from time to time.

From Luo Xi's perspective, he could not see anything, but it was certain that from Mao Ge's perspective, it must have been a very terrifying scene.

"Luo Xi, I feel relieved to see you. Hey, what Fatty Qian said to you was right, right?" Brother Mao seemed a lot calmer.

Luo Xi nodded.

"This time, I failed again. As expected, I can't do it without you. I can't handle these things by myself and I'm holding everyone back." Brother Mao laughed at himself.

"Where are the others?" Luo Xi asked. "We got separated. The most outrageous thing is that I actually forgot how we got separated. It was like I was suddenly distracted and there was no one around me. Luo Xi, I feel very confused recently. Something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it."

Mao Ge muttered.

Somewhat 'disoriented'.

In this way, the previous speculation can be confirmed.

If you have ever died in the 'Sea of ​​Trees Park', you will lose some of your soul.

It is difficult to explain what the 'soul' is, Luo Xi prefers to call it some kind of 'memory'.

The more of this stuff is lost, the worse the situation becomes.

Brother Mao has died here twice, so he has symptoms similar to "trance".

If he continues to die, even with the [Memory] card, he will still lose some memories due to the special setting of the 'Soul'. Over time, the situation will become more and more troublesome.

And what is certain is that if one is killed by a 'Grudge', a new 'Grudge' will be created according to this outrageous setting, the number of 'Grudges' in the entire Sea of ​​Trees Park is definitely an astonishing number.

In fact, Luo Xi had a lot of questions to ask Liu Mao.

But obviously, now is not the time.

You have to get rid of the curse on the other party first. As expected, the "curse" here is different from that in other places.

It seems that once you are entangled, you can't move.

"Brother Mao, have you used the shrine here?" Luo Xi asked. Brother Mao shook his head and said, "I came here by accident. I found the stone tower and wanted to walk over. I didn't pay attention to my feet, and I felt something stepped on, and then I got hit."

The triggering mechanism of the curse here is similar to that of a landmine.

Luo Xi looked down.

This area is extremely muddy, with dozens of puddles. To get close to the stone tower, one can only wade through it, but there is a way around it.

In fact, the solution is very simple.

There were stones of suitable sizes around, and Luo Xi picked two of them. Then he placed one in the puddle. Because it was very shallow, most of the stone was exposed. Then he took another stone and stepped on it. He put the stone in his hand in front, stepped on it, picked up the stone under his feet, and repeated the operation.

You can get close to the stone tower without touching the muddy puddles below.

This is a trick that even a child can do.

Luo Xi first dragged Brother Mao onto the rock.

Strangely enough, after Liu Mao was pulled onto the rock, he was able to move.

Luo Xi went to find some more stones and threw them into the area, like plum blossom piles that people could step on.

Luo Xi observed the shrine in the stone pagoda and found that there were words engraved on the inner wall.

"The cycle of cause and effect turns into a hidden path, and the karmic obstacles are dissolved and you become free."

Luo Xi is best at solving puzzles, and deciphering words and characters is the most basic ability in this field.

Obviously, Luo Xi analyzed this sentence with just one glance. Whether it was the literal meaning or the metaphors represented by the words and corresponding Buddhist and Taoist doctrines, in his eyes, they were all broken down clearly.

"Exchange. We can exchange curses here. That makes sense."

Luo Xi knew that he had found a very important "shrine" in this level scene.

The meaning of that sentence can be understood very simply as, through this shrine, the "curse" between two people can be exchanged.

Because apart from that very obvious verse, this shrine has two incense altars, which means that it is clearly a shrine that allows two people to burn incense at the same time. Why two people?
It takes two people to exchange.

After stepping on the stones and pulling Brother Mao away from this "minefield", Luo Xi began to question Liu Mao.

It's basically the same as what Fatty Qian said.

The cause of the incident was the phone call made to Brother Mao by a special neighbor named Zhou Xinpeng.

"Then, what about Zhou Xinpeng?" Luo Xi asked.

"I saw him once when I first came here, but I haven't seen him since. It's like he disappeared and never showed up in the Sega apartment building again, including his daughter. It's like this family doesn't exist at all."

When Brother Mao thought about this, he felt a chill run up his spine.

Even though I have experienced many terrible things, this one is still too weird.

"You failed the first time, and knowing that Zhou Xinpeng was also missing, why did you come again?" Luo Xi continued to ask.

He had some guesses, but he still needed Liu Mao to say it himself.

"I don't know, I just feel that I can find clues here. Also, I feel a little unwilling to give up, knowing that you must be curious about this matter. So, I want to help you, even if it costs me some money. But now that I think about it, it's really strange. It's like, subconsciously, I really want to come to this place." Obviously, Luo Xi's calmness can infect the people around him.

At this time, Liu Mao was not as distraught as he was at the beginning.

But his eyes looked very tired.

"Obsession?" Luo Xi asked.

"What?" Brother Mao was stunned.

"It's nothing, Brother Mao, from now on, don't leave my sight." Luo Xi's expression was serious.

There is no doubt that this place can subtly influence the memory-collectors in some way. If Mao Ge could be in a trance before, he could be in a trance in the future. He might get lost if he is not careful. The key to attracting Mao Ge, Ke Lan and others to come to this scene like moths to a flame is that something here can quietly magnify their obsession.

Next, Luo Xi asked Brother Mao to describe what it felt like to be infected with the curse.

The key point is, do you recognize it?

"I don't know him!" Brother Mao looked down and shook his head.

"Do you remember where you died for the first and second time?"

“I only remember the approximate location.”

"Take me there."
