Weird Deep-sea Game, I Can Fish Without Limit

  Chapter 167 Completion Achievement: Immortal Believer

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

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

   Dim lights, soft beds, long blackout curtains, he returned to the familiar bedroom.

   Picking up the mobile phone on the bedside, I glanced at the time, August 15th, midnight.

  Same as before, the time has returned to half a month ago.

  With the sound of pattering rain, Li Feng got up and got out of bed, walked to the window, and opened one side of the curtain.

  On the neon-polluted sky outside the window, it was drizzling at this moment.

  Looking at the ordinary night scene outside the window, Li Feng took a deep breath, temporarily staying away from the world of supernatural beings, 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:

  ‘Before the last crossing, it didn’t seem to rain. '

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

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

   But this is also a common thing, Li Feng didn't care.

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

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

   Feeling like a holiday again, Li Feng turned off the lights and went to sleep.

  …

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

   "There is always some idiot among us, is there anything in the forest that pleases him?"

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

  I should order the archers to guard the fire, and shoot all the animals that fly out of the fire, bats, crows, and birds will not be spared.

   But I didn't, and it cost me dearly. "

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

   "There are no more inhabitants in the forest, 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 an apple, I should have used a dagger.

  I was too cowardly to face her, so I paid the price. "

  In the early morning of August 15th, Li Feng, who had a good night's sleep, sat at his desk.

   On the table in front of him, there were six exquisite colored 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 another apple.

   These are the performance props that Li Feng got on the sixth floor in front of the Sad Theater.

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

   Think back to the Theater of Sorrows that had seven lights on and nothing else.

  And before the return, what the troll said—

   "The real story begins when all seven lights in the Theater of Sorrows are turned on."

Besides that:

   "The monster from the Theater of Sorrows is coming."

  Obviously, these clues all indicate that the Sad Theater is not over yet.

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

   That is to say, facing the strange performances and the inexplicable sentences on the ribbon, he had half a month to solve those mysteries.

  Thinking so, Li Feng took out the props he got after passing the seventh floor of the theater from the system backpack.

   That piece of dirty rag that was written all over it.

  She looks like a used rag, but judging from the cut and seam position of the corners, the rag turns out to be a piece of clothing.

  Li Feng once tried to fish it, but it seemed like a piece of rag. Li Feng only got a piece of twine that was easy to break.

   It is completely different from the previous six props, allowing him to fish to get exquisite ribbons.

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

  Recalling the performance on the last floor, the stepdaughter returned to the palace under the protection of the neighboring prince, and the vicious stepmother abdicated and returned the throne to the stepdaughter.

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

   In such a gorgeous happy ending, there is indeed no dirty tattered clothes.

   Look back at the other six clean and decent props on the table.

  The cinnabar cup is something produced by the first layer of puerpera.

  A moonlight appeared when the neighboring prince on the second floor made the stepmother queen stand in front of the window to suffer from the cold.

  The rusty dagger used by the hunters on the third floor to dig out the heart of the stepdaughter.

  Python blood, winter snowflakes, and apples are four, five, and six layers, which are used by the stepmother queen to make poison.

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

  They are clear, regular, and traceable.

  Thinking about this point, Li Feng turned his gaze back to the rags with a sudden change in painting style.

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

   Li Feng asked Xi Ya to translate it, and she said that it said:

   "They have spoken ill of me to my subjects, and with but a little truth to support the whole lie.

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

  The curse attached to my body will never be dispelled. In the incinerator, the goose oil rubbed on my skin melted over and over again, crackling.

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

  The light rain outside the window is still there, and the fine water droplets smudge 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 neighboring prince.

  In the first edition, ignore the text on the ribbon and rags, and only restore the content on the stage.

   First, the king died, and the vicious queen couldn't tolerate her stepdaughter princess.

  After that, the queen ordered a hunter to dig out the princess' heart, but even so, she was still worried and made a poisoned apple again.

  In addition, in the story, the queen's infidelity was also shown. She once went to seduce the prince of the neighboring country profligately.

  But the prince lost his way and rejected her.

  After that, the prince met the princess who was poisoned to death by the queen in the forest.

   Resurrected her in a way that was not described in detail, and then helped the princess return to the palace.

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

  The kind princess forgave the queen and invited her to her coronation ceremony.

  As for the prince, he is the incarnation of kindness and justice, completely Gao Guangwei's image.

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

  Based on his many years of experience in public copying, there is a loophole here.

  Those who make up the story should somewhat round up here.

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

   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 understanding of various perverted fetishes, the necrophilic prince did not know his way back then, it was just that the queen pretended not to be.

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

  He took the rags and ribbon to the edge of the paper and began to write the second version of the story.

  The beginning of the story is that a young woman married the king, and the king's previous queen left a girl.

   Soon, the young queen discovered that her stepdaughter princess, unlike a human, was as cold as a corpse.

   For unknown reasons, the king died.

  The young queen may have believed that the king's death had something to do with the princess, and she should have said the same to her subjects.

  That's why she was able to hunt down the princess in a fair and honest manner, and ordered the hunter to dig out her heart.

  But the princess who lost her heart did not die, but fled into the forest instead.

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

   One read "I'm so sorry I should have cut off her head, arms and legs..."

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

   Look at the two ribbons at the back:

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

   "There are no more inhabitants in the forest, 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 seems to live by cannibalism. After fleeing into the forest, she ate up all the residents living in the forest.

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

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

  ‘The queen knows alchemy, poison making and other skills. '

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

  ‘So, the queen is actually not an extraordinary person, but an extraordinary person. '

  The story continues.

  The poisonous apple made by the queen stuck the princess' throat, and the princess died.

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

   After that, the neighboring prince will appear.

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

  The prince left disappointed, and then met the dead princess in the forest.

   Imagining discordantly, what should he do.

  The princess in the dead state, of course, will not move, will not make a sound, and will not respond.

   Besides, her cold skin was just as the prince wanted.

   Irresponsible guess, in the violent impact, the poisonous apple stuck in the throat was knocked out, so the princess was resurrected.

  'Hmm...Although it is abnormal, it fits the foreshadowing of the prince's character. '

  Li Feng thinks this way from the perspective of writing, and...

  He looks back at the previous sheet.

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

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

   Moreover, it will also clearly show that the princess's weird corpse physique.

  'Hmm... Events that damage the image must be blurred and deleted. '

  Suddenly, Li Feng understood who the author of the seven-act play was, and who the Theater of Sorrows belonged to.

   Obviously the princess and prince.

  The second edition continues the story.

  In the forest, somehow, the prince 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 kindly pardoned the queen.

  Like a fairy tale, all the characters end in a happy reunion.

But.

   Li Feng took the rag from the seventh floor.

  The text on it is very similar to the queen's tone.

   Try to decipher it.

   "They have said many ill things about me to my subjects, and a little truth is needed to support the whole lie."

  This sentence means that after regaining the throne, the princess and the prince said a lot of bad things about the queen to the subjects and distorted the truth.

  “In the endless time, they put the story on the stage over and over again, even if there are no audiences in the audience.”

  The princess built a theater to let the stories she wrote be staged over and over again.

   "The curse attached to my body will never be dispelled. In the incinerator, the goose oil rubbed on my skin melts and crackles."

  The story performed over and over again is not an ordinary performance, but the princess's curse on the queen.

   Li Feng re-read this sentence, and felt that after the happy ending, the queen seemed to be disposed of according to the tradition of roasting pigs.

  Li Feng once read in a book that when winter comes, the ancestors of human beings would wash the pigs, then smear goose fat on the pig skin, and then bake them in the incinerator.

  Combined with the text on the rag, the queen seems to have been smeared with goose fat on her skin, and then put into an incinerator to bake.

   And not only that, this should be a curse, as long as the performances in the theater continue, the curse will never stop.

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

  The human ancestors of the endless sea, at least thousands of years have passed.

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

  Suddenly remembered the name of the Sad Theater.

  ‘Sad indeed. '

   Continue to look down.

  “They took my body and my soul, but my story belongs only to me.”

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

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

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

  Recalling what the troll said last night—

  "The story staged in the theater should not be completely believable, there is another version of it.

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

  ‘Rashomon…’

  The sky outside the window was gloomy, and the drizzle was still there. Li Feng felt a little emotional.

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

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

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

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

   "An extraordinary person who knows alchemy, poison making and other skills, and can divination through the water surface."

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

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

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

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

  Although he is still sure about this method, at least he has figured out the story.

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

  So, there is no rush.

  Looking at the time, Li Feng was about to get up and eat.

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

  Immediately opened and checked, Li Feng turned to the source of the news.

  *: "Everyone, something has happened! Go online and watch it. After the pig was slaughtered, the pig's heart broke away from the chest and beat alone for an hour!!"

  *: "??? Upstairs, that's unscrupulous self-media."

  *: "Really not, I'm watching, there's a video, just search for pig heart."

  *: "No, it's real or not, I'll take a look too... **** it!"

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

  *: "Wait a minute, this won't be affected by the transcendence of the game world again, right?"

  *: "My God, is there no peace again?"

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

   Soon, a video with the most views popped up.

  The video is a farm yard, on the open space where the drizzle is dripping.

  An ordinary pig heart, with all blood vessels cut off, without any other organs, just placed on the ground alone.

   But the strange thing is that the pig heart, as if it was placed intact in the pig's chest, was still beating strongly and abruptly.

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

   Netizens who don’t know about the existence of superhumans obviously have not yet broken their heart for science.

  They are mostly questioning, bloggers use special effects and other things to cheat the number of views, but the questioned bloggers are also replying to comments.

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

   "The pig's heart has been dug out, is the pig still alive?"

   This is obviously a mocking comment, but the blogger replied seriously below:

   "Alive, I was scared to death, just called the police."

   But obviously, his reply has become the object of ridicule by more netizens.

  Replies such as "I was scared to death too", "Don't call the police, be careful that the police will arrest you" are endless.

   But Li Feng, who watched all this, was suddenly startled.

  He looked at the table, the piece of paper on which he wrote his conjectures about the seven acts of the Theater of Sorrows.

   On that piece of paper, next to the entry for "princess" it says:

  "An unknown monster that won't die even if it loses its heart."

'This! '

  On the mobile phone, a video that cannot be explained by science is playing in a loop, and an idea suddenly arises in Li Feng's mind.

   Could it be that the monster that is about to appear in the Theater of Sorrow has passed its strangeness to this world through some method.

   Its undead spell has already begun to affect the creatures in the player's world?

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

   But at the same time, in the chat channel window, he saw a striking red letter announcement:

  【Achievement Completion Announcement:】

  【Player No. 2121-0776, has completed the "Undead Believer" achievement, and the event "Blood Sacrifice" has begun to come.

  Current arrival progress: 1%]
