Irin didn't move.
It wasn't that he couldn't.
He didn't dare to.
He jumped a little and sprained his waist. His legs were numb.
It seemed that his lumbar disc was too protruding and pressed on his nerves. He also pulled his balls.
He couldn't just jump like this …
If he moved a little more, wouldn't he be paralyzed?
"First, it was the 'memory maze', and then another …?"
Irin subconsciously touched his forehead and frowned slightly.
He lowered his head and realized that he was completely naked.
It was all wrinkled skin. There was nothing to see.
He looked down …
Forget it. He knew everything. He didn't need to look.
There was a layer of light green sticky liquid on Irin's body.
He didn't know what it was.
It was probably some kind of nutrient solution.
This was a secret room.
There were five eggs in the secret room.
Oh, no, five nutrition pods.
For the time being, he was the only one who broke out of the five pods.
Irin suddenly remembered the prompt on Jack's computer screen in the 'memory maze'.
"Escape …?"
The prompt that didn't have time to transmit to his memory referred to escaping his memory and waking up from the 'memory maze'?
Irin quietly thought for four seconds and rejected this guess.
If the mission prompt after "escape …" referred to his memory maze, then when Irin broke out of the egg, he should have completed the mission.
This guess couldn't withstand scrutiny.
"In other words …"
Irin's eyes focused.
Clang.
Clang —
In the corner of the secret room, in another survival pod, an old lady who was also naked silently opened her eyes. A string of bubbles gushed out of her mouth.
She punched the glass with her fist.
There was no reaction.
She punched again.
Finally, he smashed the glass of the life-saving cabin. Then, he saw Yi Lin standing not far away in a sticky state. A trace of vigilance and surprise flashed across his eyes. However, he did not say anything and jumped down from the half-meter-high life-saving cabin.
Crack crack.
Irin didn't have time to remind her.
The next second, the old lady was holding her old waist in pain.
Irin only took a glance before turning his head away.
It wasn't because she was embarrassed.
Nor was it because of love.
Instead, it was … a little painful to the eyes.
The old lady's expression changed slightly.
She quickly realized her awkward situation.
She hurriedly reached out and covered her upper body. Thinking that something was wrong, she covered her lower body.
After a few seconds, she started moving her hands up and down.
Her face seemed to be a little red.
Unfortunately, it was difficult to tell whether she was blushing or not on her wrinkled face that was covered with age spots.
After a while.
Seeing that Irin was not interested in her at all, the old lady finally felt less awkward.
After all, wasn't he also standing in the same spot without hiding anything?
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that everyone was in the same situation and no one was at a disadvantage.
"Mission?"
The old lady suddenly asked.
Irin chuckled and nodded.
When he spoke, Irin realized that he had really aged from the outside to the inside. Even his voice was dry and dry, completely lacking the magnetism of the past.
"Same kind?"
Irin smiled. "Same."
"Then they …"
The old lady turned her head and looked at the rest of the nutrition cabins that had not moved yet. Her eyes flashed.
She lowered her head and thought about the content of this mission.
The plot was gradually becoming clearer.
Five eggs, no, five cabins, five apostles.
Irin and the old lady broke out of the eggs one after the other.
Were they waiting for the others?
It seemed so.
"Why did we become like this!"
The old lady suddenly gritted her teeth and fiercely said this sentence from her mouth.
But immediately after, she cried out in pain and covered her mouth. The wrinkles on her face were squeezed into a lump.
— — Her teeth were sore.
"I don't know. Maybe it's the plot."
Irin did not say his own guess.
The old lady saw that Irin was not interested in talking more and did not continue to communicate with Irin.
After all, the relationship between apostles was very complicated. In the trial, there were no absolute friends and no absolute enemies.
Everyone was just trying to survive.
Thus, the old lady continued to cover her important parts and quietly hid in the darkness.
Although she had become old, no matter what, as a woman, she still had a sense of shame. No one would be willing to stand naked in front of strangers.
Irin did not make any other movements to avoid inexplicable hostility from the old lady.
Women were creatures that were hard to understand. They might appear to be welcoming people with a smile on the surface, but they might be mad with hatred behind their backs.
In the previous trial, Li Changge had almost suffered a great loss because of a woman.
If not for Li Changge decisively becoming a jerk and shouldering everything by himself, perhaps he would have been cheated by Wen Manni to the point that there was nothing left of him.
"Huh?"
Irin squinted slightly. His eyes seemed to be a little presbyopic, or perhaps he had cataracts. He could not see things clearly.
On one of the walls of the secret room, there seemed to be a cabinet.
Irin walked over slowly.
He wanted to prevent his lumbar disc from protruding too much.
The slower, the better.
After a few seconds, he finally moved to the side of the wall with much difficulty.
There was indeed a cabinet in the place that his presbyopic eyes had noticed just now.
The cabinet's workmanship was quite good. The gap between the cabinet door and the wall was very thin. If not for the concave handle, it might not have been noticed at all.
Irin opened the cabinet to take a look.
Yo!
— There was no surprise.
…
Just as the old lady was covering her parts with her hands, a black shadow was thrown at her.
She instinctively dodged to the side.
“！”
She sprained her waist again.
"You!"
The old lady was about to fly into a rage when a fierce murderous intent flashed through her cloudy eyes.
But the next second, the black shadow landed a meter in front of her.
"Sorry, I'm old. I don't have enough strength."
Irin's tone was calm.
Only then did the old lady realize that there was a piece of clothing not far from her.
"Clothing!"
She moved step by step toward the clothing in surprise.
She picked it up and the attributes of the clothing appeared in front of her eyes.
…
[Patient Uniform]
[Grade] None
[Durability] 50/50
[Description] Don't think too much. It's really just a piece of clothing. It can be worn.
…
The clothing was very new and did not have any smell. It was covered with blue and white horizontal stripes. The style … it was hard to describe in words.
But the old lady still put it on happily.
After she put on this dress, she felt happier than any of the high-end clothes she had bought from a designer store.
Irin also put on the patient uniform.
Logically speaking, there was really nothing to be picky about.
Moreover, Irin had also passed through the "Memory Maze".
The style was exactly the same.
No.
There seemed to be something different.
Irin looked down and saw a line of words printed on her chest.
“Arkham”。
It did not matter that she did not understand bird language. "Tower" quickly provided an official translation —
[Arkham].
There was a number below "Arkham".
But fortunately, it was not 9527. It was just a random number.
As for why his number in the "Memory Maze" was 9527, Irin already had a reasonable guess.
Everything that happened in the "Memory Maze" was to read Irin's shallow memories.
But perhaps it was the "defense mechanism" of the memory. In the mental medical records in the memory maze, there was no mention of anything related to "Tower" or "Apostle".
It was messy and illogical, so there were flaws.
"Arkham?"
Irin could not remember where she was for a while.
Maybe it was like Haunted-mist Mountain.
It was a strange world.
Clang!
Just as Yi Lin and the old lady put on their clothes and pants in their respective positions, the other nutrition pod also shattered.
Then … they jumped down.
Not surprisingly …
"Ouch!"
She sprained her old waist again.
Irin and the old lady had an "as expected" expression on their faces at the same time.
The third person who walked out of the nutrition pod was an old man with a big belly.
His eyes were a little small.
— Very small.
His eyes were narrowed into slits.
No one knew if they were that small or if he deliberately narrowed his eyes to look deep.
He looked around for a while.
His gaze finally fell on Irin and the old lady.
He smiled embarrassedly and covered his lower body. "My two … friends?"
Before he could ask in detail, Irin slowly pointed in the direction of the cabinet. "The clothes are there."
"Hey! Thanks! "
The old man with a big belly ran forward a few steps and cried out a few times. Finally, he successfully got the clothes before his bones were fractured.
The moment he touched the clothes, he seemed to have seen the "attributes" of the clothes. After hesitating for a moment, he hurriedly put on the clothes.
Clang!
Another sound.
As the four nutrition pods shattered, a layer of light green mucus covered the secret chamber.
It just reached the soles of their feet.
It was a little slippery.
It was very easy to fall.
Irin even reasonably speculated that if they were not careful, even if they were apostles, under the condition of "aging", it was very likely that they would fall and have a cerebral hemorrhage.
Then … they would die.
The fourth apostle was a tall and slender … old woman.
She raised her head and silently checked the state of her surroundings.
When she saw Irin and the other two in bright clothes, she lowered her head and looked at herself. Her shriveled and drooping … body.
She carefully walked down.
The tall old lady did not seem to mind her current state. She did not need anyone to explain. She had already seen the half-closed cabinet door.
The old man with a big belly did not close it tightly after taking the clothes.
"Four."
The secret chamber fell into an awkward silence.
It was just that the atmosphere was awkward.
None of the apostles looked awkward.
They were all waiting.
Those who could become apostles were not idiots.
Uh … at least, they were not too stupid.
Now, everyone could see that it seemed that only when the five apostles were gathered could the next stage of the plot begin.
Four apostles, two men and two women.
They were relatively average.
Irin and the others looked at the last nutrition pod that had not yet cracked open.
"Wait."
Perhaps his eyesight was not very good.
Irin inexplicably felt that the person in the nutrition pod seemed somewhat familiar.
Suddenly.
That person finally opened his eyes.
The corner of his mouth curled into an unfathomable cold smile.
Other than Irin, the others saw this and their expressions changed slightly.
To be able to wake up with such an expression, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
The last apostle did not know what switch was turned on.
The door of the nutrition pod slowly opened.
The moment the door opened, the light green nutrition liquid in the pod instantly poured out like a waterfall.
"Hehe …"
The last apostle laughed coldly. He used his five fingers to push his sparse and messy white hair to the back of his head, forming a slicked-back hairstyle.
— — It was extremely eye-catching.
He slowly walked down from the cabin and looked around. His cold eyes seemed to have some kind of light flashing in the dark.
"Old friends, long time no see. I wonder if your martial arts have improved? Heh, this world has made me as lonely as the snow … "
The old people: "!"
Irin: "…"
Irin suddenly felt very sad.
Because he realized that the familiarity just now was not an illusion, nor was it a presbyopia.
It was actually Pan Zhengyi!
No wonder he felt familiar!
Coincidence?
The number of apostles registered in the Tower of Death was at least four digits.
Although the random combination was related to the apostle's level.
The probability of being randomly assigned to the same trial as Pan Zhengyi should not be high.
Irin sighed.
After a short moment of shock, he quickly calmed down.
Thinking about it carefully, it was actually not all bad.
At least, Irin could draw up a backup plan in case of an emergency.
Pan Zhengyi's appearance shocked the other old people.
They could not see through Pan Zhengyi's real situation.
Irin silently threw the patient uniform to Pan Zhengyi.
This action did not make the others suspicious.
Pan Zhengyi did not know if it was because he did not recognize Irin. He did not say as usual, "Yo! Young man. "
At least, Irin did not want to reveal that he knew Pan Zhengyi for the time being.
Although Pan Zhengyi's thoughts were chaotic, he could still instinctively put on his clothes.
He quickly put on his clothes.
The joints of his limbs made cracking sounds. It was so loud that the others felt their teeth ache. Pan Zhengyi was expressionless. It was as if the one who was in pain was not him.
After a while, Pan Zhengyi put on his clothes.
Big Belly squinted his eyes and laughed. His mouth was slightly open. When he was about to say something, Irin suddenly made a shushing gesture.
Big Belly was slightly stunned.
He quickly realized something and shut his mouth.
Not long after Pan Zhengyi hatched the egg, or to be precise, three minutes and twenty-three seconds later.
Suddenly.
On the wall where the wardrobe was located, there was a rectangular circle of light.
Ding!
After a clear sound, the door opened.
A kind old man with a thin face, white hair, and wearing a white coat stood outside the door.
It was actually —
Jack!
Doctor Jack.
The doctor in charge of the energetic young man Irin.
Doctor Jack, who was casually killed by Irin in the 'memory maze'.
Irin's pupils shrank. However, they quickly returned to normal.
There was no change in his expression.
Irin had already analyzed the current situation.
With this old body, even if he could use skills, it would be difficult for him to do much.
Although the opening of this instance dungeon was strange, it should not be unsolvable.
With this form, forget this trial, he would not even be able to pass the trial of Haunted-mist Mountain, which was of a lower level.
Because … his body was too weak.
Irin had already confirmed through the 'human skin' on his forehead that this trial was not a 'role-playing mode'.
His current aged appearance was a body that truly belonged to him.
He was not playing the role of a character in the plot.
In other words.
This old body was very dangerous.
It was so dangerous that one touch would kill him.
Although the HP bar still showed "100%" on the interface, everyone knew very well that 1010 was 100%, and 100000100000 was also 100%, but the difference between these two percentages was like an ocean's worth of water.
To be safe, don't move.
– Don't move.
Doctor Jack smiled at the five lonely old men. "Congratulations, today's treatment is over! Next, you are free to move around! "
"Free, free to move around?"
The big-bellied man's eyes opened slightly. He could not help but repeat.
"Hehe, now is the time after the treatment. You are free to move around."
After saying that, Doctor Jack happily left the place with his hands behind his back.
The five lonely old men looked at each other.
What was this?
This strange way of opening.
It was unheard of.
Irin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked the others, "Did you receive … that?"
Other than Pan Zhengyi, the others reacted.
Irin was talking about … the main quest.
After escaping from the 'memory maze', no one forgot that they were in a trial setting.
As long as it was a trial, there would be a quest.
No matter how ridiculous the quest was, it was still a quest.
If there was no quest … that would be very strange.
"You received it?"
The old lady who had been touching him up and down suddenly reacted and asked.
Irin did not hesitate and shook her head. "I asked you because I didn't receive it."
"No!"
She nodded slightly at Irin as if to convey a friendly message. But she did not talk much and walked out of the door first.
"Then develop on your own. Good luck."
The big-bellied man also laughed. No one could read his inner thoughts from his eyes.
After all, his eyes were so small that they could not see his eyes.
The tall woman glanced at Irin and also chose to leave.
"It's cold at the top, lonely as snow!"
Pan Zhengyi still had his hands behind his back and looked up at the ceiling.
"…"
Irin did not know what strange character Pan Zhengyi was cosplaying. But in this state, if Pan Zhengyi did not know what was good for him, he would have a cerebral hemorrhage or become a paraplegic in minutes.
Thinking of this, Irin took out "NT-046" from the storage dimension.
The technical term was … cerebral palsy.
While the others weren't paying attention, he had already used his psychic sense to quietly investigate the surroundings.
At the same time, he also discovered the hidden camera.
However, he did not know if it was because of the aging of his body, or because he was old and suffered from brain atrophy, but his psychokinesis was suppressed to the extreme, and the range was only about five meters … This was quite uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the secret room was not big. Five meters … was enough for the time being.
Irin turned his back to the blind spot of the surveillance equipment and sent "NT-046" into Pan Zhengyi's mouth.
Pan Zhengyi's "lonely as snow" expression suddenly froze.
Pan Zhengyi fell asleep.
Pan Xiaozheng … came.
"What the f * ck?"
As soon as Pan Xiaozheng appeared, he felt that something was wrong.
Irin quickly sent a series of private messages over with the "communication function."
Pan Xiaozheng's expression changed slightly.
His first reaction was …
It was over.
As soon as he took control of his "body," he felt the malice from this world.
Was this not a joke?!
Pan Zhengyi, who was mentally ill, did not know how to write the word "death," but his "sub-personality", Pan Xiaozheng, could write the word "death" in various ways.
"Contact me again."
The cerebral palsy only lasted for one hour.
Pan Xiaozheng did not dare to waste time. He dragged his aching waist and moved out step by step.
"Okay, ready."
Irin also left the secret room.
There was a lit sign hanging at the door of the secret room.
The official translation was …
[2B Treatment Room].
Was it really treatment?
Patient uniform …
Treatment …
Was it still that illness?
Irin remembered his medical records in the "memory maze."
He thought as he walked out of the door.
There was a corridor outside the door.
On both sides of the corridor, there were many rooms with open doors. None of the rooms were locked.
From time to time, sounds came from the rooms.
While Irin and Pan Zhengyi were whispering in the secret room, the others had disappeared.
Everyone was using their own methods to explore the plot.
Irin was still thinking. In the memory maze, half of the words appeared on Jack's computer screen.
The others did not receive the mission?
Or … was someone lying?
At this moment.
Irin strolled slowly.
He passed by a ward with a half-closed door.
A cheerful voice came from behind the door.
"Hehehe … who am I?"
