Chapter 674: The Road of Lies
……
On the other side, the sun was already high in the sky, and the time in the dungeon should be around noon.
Qin Shang, Zheng Gongwei and others appeared near the monastery again.
But this time, they did not walk towards the higher steps, but walked in the opposite direction.
After taking just two steps, Zheng Gongwei suddenly stared in one direction for more than two seconds.
Qin Shang thought that Master Zheng had discovered some clues, but then he heard Zheng Gongwei waving his hand and signaling, "Wait a moment..."
Then, in the astonished gazes of the three people, he walked towards a dusty cart on the side of the street.
Then he started frantically searching for something like a drug addict. The other two were still confused, but when they saw the candied haws hanging on the cart and Master Zheng's excited expression as he rubbed his hands, Qin Shang's mouth twitched and he suddenly guessed what the bastard was looking for.
Damn it, Zheng Gongwei, can you be more reliable...
He was obviously addicted to smoking.
Qin Shang had already recognized where he had seen this cart.
Isn’t it the one pushed by the candied haws selling old man who asked for directions after leaving Wu Shiqi’s house on the first day of entering the dungeon?
Later, Qin Shang saw Master Zheng leaning against the side door of the monastery smoking, and he was quite confused and surprised.
How the hell did you bring cigarettes in here!?
Later, Qin Shang suddenly figured it out.
This bastard robbed the old man whom he had asked for directions before...
And now Zheng Gongwei is acting like he is addicted to drugs.
Obviously, the pack of cigarettes in the night background copy was finished...
Qin Shang wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he suppressed the urge to curse and endured it.
He led the other two and continued walking towards the lighthouse.
Soon, Zheng Gongwei caught up with him, and there was a cigarette in his mouth, burning slowly.
Seeing him smoking, the pretty boy looked at him curiously for a few more times, probably wondering where he got the cigarettes from. Of course, Zheng Gongwei would not distribute this kind of ration to them. Who knows how long they will have to stay in this copy.
This pack of cigarettes is probably the last one that can be found in a short period of time. If he finishes smoking it, Master Zheng will feel uncomfortable later.
In a place like this, exchanging a cigarette for a first- or second-level divine item is possible for someone like Master Zheng.
If Qin Shang also smoked, he wouldn't mind giving Old Qin a cigarette...
As we all know, when old smokers have no cigarettes, the irritability in their hearts is actually comparable to the onset of drug addiction.
Some people smoke a pack of cigarettes and stay up late at night because they don't want to go to bed. Then they find that the cigarette box is empty, so they walk two kilometers to a convenience store to buy a pack of cigarettes, smoke one cigarette and then go to bed.
"you really……"
Seeing that Master Zheng had caught up with the team again, Qin Shang rolled his eyes at him.
But before he could finish his words, a melodious bell sounded suddenly throughout the entire copy.
The sound was like the sound of a huge bell, or like the Buddhist name chanted by a monk when spreading Buddhism, which made people feel uneasy.
Qin Shang actually had the illusion that something was passing through his body, and all the negative emotions in his heart were cleared away in an instant.
dong dong dong-
The next moment, Qin Shang looked up with a nervous look at the tower that was already looming in the distance.
He observed the surrounding terrain and now roughly understood the former function of this tower.
This is a tower built specifically for reactionaries and spies to avoid being exposed after they invaded the monastery. I think the purpose of this thing is to inform people in the monastery.
It just happens to be the tallest building in the entire town.
Here you can indeed see the sunset glow and afterglow that are as bright as blood flowers.
Qin Shang smacked his lips when he thought of this;
"We are almost there. After all, this is the key element area of the monk camp. We don't know where we are..."
"Players are entering the road of lies. Players are requested to 'lick cockroach's feet', 'urine is the teardrop of the bladder', 'goodness is like water', 'wind and freedom' and start preparing."
"Next, the players will be asked about each other's secrets. You have ten minutes to tell each other's privacy and secrets to other companions. Please note that if the players answer incorrectly during the questioning session, they will be severely punished."
"Price: Death"
"Achieve the end of the road of lies; you will get a core clue (this clue is applicable to players of any faction)"
"Game introduction: Once upon a time, the monk Wuwang lost everything he had because of a liar. Lies are not allowed here."
The electronic beep ends.
Very brief content.
'The highest good is like water'?
What kind of id is 'The highest virtue is like water'?
Qin Shang was stunned when he heard this, he turned his head to look at the pretty boy, and suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched.
Not buddy.
You are a fair and clean-looking guy, just like a male model. Isn't it because your nickname Shenlu is so popular?
If I didn't know that the Shenlu ID is bound to the player, I would almost think that you used your father's character card to play the Shenlu dungeon.
There's no way around it, this nickname is almost as good as my own 'licking cockroach's jade feet'.
But soon Qin Shang's face became solemn and he realized the strangeness of this place.
Is the price death?
No wonder I didn’t see any players from Avicii’s camp in this session.
If a mechanic with three martial artists dares to try something involving a battle of wits, then there's basically no point in Avicii's camp trying to fight back. Just wait to die!
But...there's something wrong.
Why did this place change from the Road of Clear Springs to the Road of Lies?
What does the road of lies mean?
Does that mean the players have to lie about their secrets?
"Note. Since you are players from Wu Shiqi's camp, this round of the game begins immediately. Players who are asked personal privacy questions can tell others the answers through other means. The game begins."
what……
Qin Shang was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.
Then, I felt a flash before my eyes.
When I came to my senses, I found myself dozens of meters in the air. Under my feet was a small tower of about one square meter. I was currently standing at the highest point of this tower. On the other side, there were three more towers around me.
'Urine is the teardrops of the bladder' and Mr. Zheng and others also appeared in those towers one after another.
Looking at the expressions of the other three people, Qin Shang could also read a hint of surprise and confusion.
Only Zheng Gongwei was still puffing on his cigarette.
"So fast? You're doing it pretty hardcore, without even time for foreplay?"
Master Zheng's voice fell clearly into Qin Shang's ears, and the latter's mouth twitched.
You know how to describe...
"The first question is, is the player 'licking cockroach's feet' married?"
The cold mechanical prompt sound seemed to be completely oblivious to their protests, and it was clearly transmitted to the ears of the four people on the field.
Qin Shang was stunned. Is this the problem with the Road of Lies?
Are the questions really all about us?
Because the electronic prompt in the introduction just now said that the price of answering incorrectly could be death.
So the other three people in the middle of the field didn't dare to speak again, but turned their heads to look at Qin Shang.
He nodded immediately.
Married!
Of course I am a married man.
The next moment, the player named 'Shangshan Ruoshui' immediately spoke;
"Married! Licking cockroach's feet means you are married!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Gongwei clicked his tongue and flicked his half-burned cigarette.
"This kid, does he think this is a quick answer to score points?"
Not far away, 'Urine is the tears of the bladder' blinked his beautiful eyes, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Is there anyone willing to marry this dangerous guy?
The electronic reminder sound stopped sounding, and just when everyone thought that this problem had passed.
Sudden……
"The player 'Shangshan Ruoshui' answered incorrectly and suffered the consequences of deceiving the monk."
"Note! What the monk hates most in his life is deception. You must never tell lies on the road of lies."
Immediately, under the astonished gaze of Qin Shang and others, a scream came from the mouth of the young pretty boy.
It was as if a pair of invisible tentacles directly pressed down on his arm, and then pulled the arm straight off his shoulder.
The blood splattered everywhere, it was shocking.
Qin Shang, Zheng Gongwei, and 'Urine is the tears of the bladder' could not help but widen their eyes.
"What's going on?"
"Have the player 'Urine is the teardrop of the bladder' ever betrayed his teammates in a dungeon?"
Without giving them time to think, as 'The Best is Like Water' screamed, a new question appeared on the bright blue attribute panel in front of everyone on the scene. At the same time, there was also a cold electronic prompt sound.
Qin Shang was the most confused person in the field.
What the hell?
what's the situation?
what is happening?
It was clearly the correct answer, but my teammate was punished?
Wasn't he asking whether the girl who licked the cockroach's feet was married?
Is it true that I am married?
Is my fucking marriage certificate fake?
are you kidding me?
What exactly does this game mean?
Qin Shang broke out in a cold sweat and was confused for a moment.
The next moment, Qin Shang turned his head and looked towards 'The Highest Good is Like Water'.
The young man was looking at him, and his eyes suddenly became a little colder.
broken!
Qin Shang's heart tightened.
This guy probably thinks I'm trying to trick him?
"I do not have……"
"Have the player 'Urine is the teardrop of the bladder' ever betrayed his teammates in a dungeon?"
"Players, please answer the questions 'lick the cockroach's feet', 'wind and freedom', and 'goodness is like water'."
The next moment, Qin Shang's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Turning his head to look at 'Urine is the tears of the bladder', he saw the girl crossing her arms on her chest and making an X gesture to herself.
Qin Shang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Players with the profession of Trickster have never betrayed their teammates in the dungeon.
She actually said no, do you think I would believe it?
This little girl is not honest!
However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, Qin Shang was stunned again.
"No, just now Shangshan Ruoshui said that I was married. It was clearly the correct answer, but I was punished. Does the Road of Lies mean to say the opposite of what you mean?"
As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Gongwei on the other tower narrowed his eyes.
"no!"
Immediately, the scene fell into a dead silence again.
About a minute later, Qin Shang and 'Urine is the Tears of the Bladder' breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a strange sound was heard from Zheng Gongwei's side, like a machine twisting a switch mechanism and making a "click, click" sound.
Then Qin Shang was shocked to see a look of surprise across Zheng Gongwei's handsome face.
Then, he lowered his head and stared at the ground.
Qin Shang immediately put the Great Detective's pipe between his lips and took two deep puffs, then used [Overlook] to switch the perspective.
Then what he saw was so unbelievable.
Master Zheng’s left leg is missing. Oh, no, it’s not missing.
Only the left leg below the crotch disappeared, and it felt empty as if there had never been anything there.
At the same time, there was a sound of something being dropped to the ground from a height of more than 20 meters.
Qin Shang's expression froze and he turned his head numbly to look at the ground.
"what!"
Not far away, 'Urine is the tears of the bladder' had already covered his mouth and shouted.
It was a leg, a bloody thigh.
Just like that, it was thrown to the ground bare.
Seeing this scene, Qin Shang, who had come to his senses, had his eyes instantly filled with red bloodshot.
Qin Shang didn't feel anything when Shang Shan Ruo Shui was injured, but the moment Zheng Gongzi's left leg was broken, Qin Shang was stunned for a moment.
Zheng Gongwei and Qin Shang established their friendship not long after Qin Shang became a Shenlu player.
"Fuck you, urine is the teardrop of the bladder, do you want to die?"
He turned his head angrily and looked at the girl.
The girl on the other tower also looked stunned and confused, as if she had never expected such an outcome.
"Did the player 'Wind and Freedom' open a bar called The Corridor?"
New problems arise.
The Gallery Bar?
Of course...
Qin Shang was about to answer, but stopped immediately.
The scene of the two people being injured is still vivid in my mind. Mr. Zheng's thigh is bleeding.
He pursed his lips, tilted his head slightly, and glanced in the direction of Zheng Gongwei. Master Zheng's face was pale with pain, but he maintained the good qualities of a high-level player. There was not much ferocity in his expression. He forced a difficult smile at Qin Shang and lip-synced.
"You should know the answer very well, right?"
Beads of sweat appeared on Qin Shang's forehead and he nodded immediately, just about to speak.
"Player 'lick the cockroach's feet' answered the question first. Regardless of whether the answer is correct or not, you will not be directly killed by the 'divine punishment' in this round of the game."
A cold electronic prompt sound appeared in his ears.
Qin Shang was stunned.
He immediately looked at the other three people, and their expressions were normal.
'Urine is the tears of the bladder.' With his hands clenched tightly and a nervous expression, he looked at Qin Shang eagerly, while Zheng Gongwei's face was pale and he gave Qin Shang a look of appraisal.
As for the saying "The highest good is like water", the look in this kid's eyes when he looks at Qin Shang is full of hatred, without any humanity at all.
He probably blamed Qin Shang for the broken arm.
In fact, Qin Shang’s mind is still foggy. Why did that guy answer truthfully that his arm was broken?
If she said "urine is the tears of the bladder", it would be excusable because she was lying. But I didn't lie at all.
Will you be struck by lightning if you tell the truth?
Will telling lies also get you struck by lightning?
Isn't this even more ridiculous?
"Yes! There is such a place!"
The next moment, Qin Shang said with a sullen face.
Immediately, the surroundings fell into silence, but Qin Shang's attribute panel was quite lively.
「Congratulations, you got the answer right.」
Choose whether to accept punishment
"Yes or No"
boom--
What...what do you mean?
I answered correctly, but I still have to choose whether to accept the punishment?
Wait, I'm not the only one who can hear this prompt tone?
Is this a smoke bomb?
This means that among the two people just now.
The punishments for Zheng Gongzi and Shangshan Ruoshui for answering the questions quickly were not necessarily due to incorrect answers.
But it is possible that the answer was correct, but these two people chose to voluntarily accept the punishment for some reason?
So that's why you have broken arms and legs like this?
Otherwise it's impossible to explain...
