In the hourglass cube of "Peach Blossom Spring", the hourglass with countless "worlds" in it has no top cover.

It extends to the boundless darkness, and the depths of darkness are spaces independent of another dimension.

In that space, there are a group of white light clusters floating in the mid-air in a gravityless posture.

These light clusters are like jellyfish wandering in the ocean, but they are actually energy bodies with no entities.

They are busy all the time, stretch out countless long tentacles, cut out projection fragments suitable for their requirements from thousands of space-time dimensions, make them into "coordinates", and then hand them over to a higher authority energy body. Audit.

After determining that the world line pointed to by these coordinates can be added and influenced by external forces, the reviewer will set the difficulty coefficients for these “coordinates” one by one, and then keep them in the form of a cube, throw them into the “hourglass”, and wait for the participants. We draw.

And outside this space, there is another group of "will."

From a "overlook" perspective, they watched these energy bodies busy collecting and sorting coordinates from a higher dimension.

The invisible fiber of light is like a spider web, intertwining in the void, in order to exchange each other's consciousness.

[A0551 has come back? 】

In the invisible optical network, there is a consciousness passed out.

[Yes, he is back. 】

The other will replied.

[Why can he come back? 】

[Isn’t that, after data simulation and analysis, the probability of his death this time is as high as 91.3%? 】

[Where did it go wrong? 】

Plural questions wandered through the optical network, and after being intercepted by each consciousness terminal, they gave feedback in milliseconds.

[According to data simulation analysis, the probability of A0551 survival is only 8.7%. 】

An answer was delivered through the optical network immediately.

[This is the data obtained after logical simulation calculations based on his past behavior patterns and thinking tendencies. 】

This time, more questions flowed through the thoughts of every participant in a flash, and their questions were summarized into one sentence:

[What is the reason that caused that 8.7 percent to happen? 】

This time, the answer came a little later than before.

The "will" responsible for answering spent more time on calculations and analysis.

It took two seconds for the accurate answer to be delivered:

[A0551's behavior pattern has changed. 】

He analyzed:

[A0551 rarely participates in teamwork in the past, so based on his logical preference that he spends more than 90% of his time acting alone, we arranged for him a world where he must rely on the cooperation of multiple people to find the best solution. . 】

Immediately afterwards, the background and settings of "Painting Walls for Souls" were quickly transmitted to the optical network, so that every participant could understand the details of that "world".

[But we did not expect that he changed the previous mode of action, relying on teamwork, almost perfectly cleared the above-mentioned [World]. 】

After getting this answer, all the "will" fell into a brief silence.

After a while, a question resonated with every thought on the optical network.

[So, what caused the change of A0551? 】

&&&&&&&&&

When Ji Tuan woke up, he returned to the small black room in the Colosseum "Peach Blossom Spring".

He lowered his head to see what he looked like. The light T-shirts and jeans and the woolen curls that just covered his ears. The little master who belonged to the ancient world and the long hair over the shoulders all disappeared.

"Very good, it's still more refreshing like this."

While talking, Ji Lu stood up and checked his "equipment."

Sure enough, with the exception of his beloved longbow, which was turned into a hand ring, all disposable items such as short knives and flint for self-defense have disappeared.

However, he found a small figure cut from a thin stack of white paper from the **** pocket of his jeans. It was the B-level collection "Onmyoji Shishen (Elementary given to him by Zhao Zhui. After using it at that time, There were more than ten copies left, and he brought them back together.

——Well, this collection is pretty easy to use.

Ji Lu shook his head, and thought with some regret: But it's not good to just ignore the rest, so let's find a chance to return it to Zhao Chai.

Thinking like this, Ji Xiaoniao raised his hand and touched the smooth, mirror-like wall of the room.

Rippling ripples started from the place he touched and waved away in circles.

[Confirm No. C0919 Participants enter [Peach Blossom Spring], have a clear consciousness, good mental state, and are ready to interact. 】

The artificial intelligence Xiaobai who turned into a beautiful youth appeared in front of him.

This time he changed into a silver tuxedo, with his hair combed into a big back, like a young pianist in a classical concert.

[Welcome back, number C0919, Mr. Ji Yuan, I'm always at your service. 】

He smiled at Ji Shu, and bowed respectfully.

Ji Tuan was already very experienced, and raised his hand to stop Xiao Bai's nonsense.

"Don't say anything, you can start to settle points directly."

[Okay, now we will settle the points for you. 】

Sure enough, Xiaobai was obedient and didn't waste his master's time. He simply got into the topic neatly. After taking a deep breath, he started his performance with ups and downs of drama:

[[Painting Wall for Soul] World, Difficulty B, 52% exploration of the main map, 62% exploration of the key map, 58% contact of the key characters...]

Hearing these numbers, Ji Lu frowned slightly.

"Key person contact" is a new condition for this settlement, but I want to know that the deduction point is probably where the "Five Tongshen" is-he didn't enter the Tsutenkaku at that time, so naturally he didn't have personal contact. It's the bottom boss of the five-pass god.

——More than this one, the numbers of other projects are not too high.

Classmate Ji Xiaoniao couldn't help but feel a little worried about his points.

[98% completion of the main line, trigger the achievement [All members of the team survive], trigger the achievement [All players survival rate is higher than 30%], trigger the achievement [Lao Tzu is not to kill you], and based on this Achievement of [Perfect Clearance] on the top...]

When Ji Lu heard this, his eyes widened involuntarily.

He never expected that he would get a "perfect clearance" this time!

Xiaobai went on to settle the remaining points:

[A total of 38,520 points will be obtained for the above, and the first level of difficulty of the level B is [World], and the points will be added by 50%, and a total of 57,780 points will be obtained. 】

"what?"

Ji Shu almost thought he had heard it wrong.

"More than 57,000 points!?"

Thinking about the results of the first two worlds, he felt as if he had won the jackpot by buying a Mark Six lottery, and he felt a little overwhelmed by his wealth.

You know, he scored more than 3,400 points in the first "world", and in the second "world" because he was deducted from the main line completion degree, he only scored more than 2,500 points. .

In addition, he bought explosive energy storage candy before entering "Wall Painting for Soul", strengthened his body, and hired a coaching robot to teach him to fight. In the end, only the poor three were left. More than a hundred points.

As a result, this time, he turned back in the B-level difficulty "world" and directly scored more than 57,000 points!

Ji Xuan flushed his cheeks and clenched his fists excitedly.

——Sure enough, the greater the risk, the greater the return. After the difficulty is one level higher, the points will add a zero directly to the back!

"By the way, can you tell me what happened to the last two little boys who looked exactly the same?"

Ji Lu suddenly remembered that the egg was pinched only after seeing the beginning. It felt so uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but ask.

The artificial intelligence Xiaobai confirmed:

[Do you mean that 〖story review〗 is needed? 】

Ji Shu nodded.

[Okay, now let's start [Plot Review]. 】

Xiaobai stepped sideways and stepped aside, letting go of the wall behind him, so that Ji Xuan could watch the ending through the image that appeared on the wall.

After watching from the perspective of God, Ji Lu quickly figured out what was going on.

It turned out that Zhao’s ancestor, the wife who married to Mingjian Villa, was a family of cultivation. Although it has been in decline for many years, the broken ship still has three nails and the thin camel is bigger than a horse. Somehow, some good things have been handed down from the family, just because of the years. No one knows it for a long time.

In the dowry brought by the Zhao family, there was a magical artifact-it was the inkstone that she gave to the little boy as the four treasures of the ordinary study.

The pine smoke ink in the inkstone was made by a true fairy who had been in the painting, collecting rootless water, burning soot from a thousand-year-old pine wood, and then sieving, smashing, pounding, and tempering through countless tedious processes. After absorbing the spirit of the immortal, after time-honed, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, finally condensed a spirit.

It's just that this treasure has passed through the hands of dozens of generations, and no one knows its origin. It was only regarded as an inkstone that was rare except for its exquisiteness, and was left unused.

When the inkstone was not used by anyone, the spirit of the inkstone naturally fell asleep.

It was not until the Zhao family gave it to the little son of Mingjian Villa, who used it to study ink and paint, and he awakened the strangeness of this treasure.

Although the young man is young, he is really talented in painting. In addition, the inkstone itself is a treasure. The painting wall drawn from this has the ability to communicate with the world and created a "painting." Middle World".

However, the emergence of Chung Treasure will inevitably lead to disasters.

After the mural was painted, the sky above Mingjian Villa was surrounded by auspicious clouds day and night, which attracted the coveting of the five-pass gods who passed by, and brought a group of monsters into the villa, killing the living people inside.

The spirit of the instrument in the inkstone watched with his own eyes the **** tragedy happening in front of his own eyes.

But it is just a tool spirit, no entity, and can't even leave the inkstone for a step.

It could only watch the little boy dying in the study, the hot blood stained the drawing paper, and flowed down the pen in his hand onto its ink ingot.

Upon realizing what this meant, the Qi Ling lost control.

It cannot break free from the shackles of the treasure itself, but it can use the painting wall as a medium to reverse the reality and the reality, trapping everything it wants to keep in the world in the painting wall.

Whether it was the spirits who invaded the house or the souls of the human beings who were killed, they were all sealed in the painting wall for a long time, unable to get out or leave.

But even so, Qi Ling could not find the little son.

No, it should be said that after forcibly triggering the divine power in the ink ingot, it is no longer the simple tool spirit that used to be without sadness and joy, relying only on the existence of the inkstone.

In a daze, it forgets who it is.

It even felt that he was the young man who drew the wall, and was trapped in this mansion forever along with the countless souls in the house.

Gradually, Qi Ling had forgotten how all this happened.

It just remembered that it was looking for someone.

As for who it is and how to find it, but I don't even have a clue...

... By the way, can't you still play hide and seek?

...

"Fuck!"

After Ji Lu finished reading, the expression on his face completely changed to "囧".

"...It means that your basic love returns to your basic love, can you not hurt the innocent people?"

While watching, classmate Ji Xiaoniao complained:

"I have been looking for people in various poses for hundreds of years. The person I was looking for has long been locked in the inkstone by his obsession. This kind of stalk is really old-fashioned!"
