[Congratulations, you have eliminated all players with different camps and are about to enter the final "ace" battle]
…
The main mission has been updated, and the battle for the "ace" has not yet been decided.
"Sure enough, the goal of the hell-level copy is to destroy us all."
Jiang Qian let out a long sigh, clenched the blood-stained pen in his hand, and slowly straightened his back.
When he turned around, his eyes met the figure landing behind him...
The inner alarm bell rang loudly!
——The person standing opposite is "himself".
At the same time, the "self" on the opposite side suddenly used the snake shadow to sneak and swooped towards Jiang Qian!
He was holding the same pen as Jiang Qian's, and his skill and accuracy were exactly the same as Jiang Qian's.
It can be said that this is the moment of killing the enemy in Jiang Qian's mind at this moment!
"呲——"
The initial hand-to-hand encounter left a deep scratch on Jiang Qian's wrist.
Not too bad.
He exchanged this wound for the fatal wound caused by cutting his throat.
The strange collections around him cheered loudly, and the cups in the hands of the butler Simon and the Duke shook, as if celebrating the final victory in advance, but this victory obviously did not belong to him.
Jiang Qian raised his head and looked at the huge "Ace" banner where thousands of threads gathered.
It hangs quietly in the sky, staring at the lives coming and going in the ring, unmoving.
"It's not enough to beat all the players, you have to break through yourself to be considered the ace?"
Jiang Qian tried to understand its internal logic, and immediately focused on the next question:
"How can I get rid of me quickly?"
As soon as this question came to mind, the "self" on the opposite side pounced again, with such ferocity that even Jiang Qian himself was surprised!
Facing such a fierce offensive, Jiang Qian could not distract himself from considering other countermeasures and could only fight with all his heart.
Both "each other" became serious, and Jiang Qian's scars increased more and more!
Soon, both he and the "self" on the opposite side were covered with scars, and even the attacks on each other slowed down. However, both sides were still highly nervous and cautiously guarded against each other.
If this continues, you may really get yourself killed, what should you do? If you strike first, you will be predicted by "yourself" in advance; wait for the opportunity? "He" will definitely take advantage of him... Jiang Qian stared at "himself" who was symmetrical as a mirror, and suddenly had an enlightenment.
He stopped amid the commotion of strange collections around him.
Two figures froze on the rotating ring, and the scene gradually became quiet.
Immediately afterwards, two figures slowly approached.
Jiang Qian stretched out his hand forward, and his index and middle fingers were blocked by some invisible obstruction at the distance between the two of them.
As the force was slowly exerted, the figure on the opposite side deviated strangely—the mirror flipped!
No wonder!
Jiang Qian woke up as if from a dream.
When he was the first to be alert, the "self" on the opposite side began to attack him. When he tried to find a way to solve "self", the "self" on the opposite side launched a crazy offensive - his enemy was exactly himself at the moment. Inner projection.
It's just that this "projection" was cleverly exaggerated and magnified, so he didn't notice it immediately.
Complete with mirror flip.
The "self" on the opposite side is missing!
Standing in front of Jiang Qian again was the familiar mouthless doll, staring at Jiang Qian quietly.
Jiang Qian's smile slowly faded.
Not long ago, the same scene happened in front of the gold-framed mirror in the center of the specimen wall.
As a result, Jiang Qian achieved 100% progress on the side task.
And now, this strange doll has been flipped through the mirror and reappeared in the final battle for the "ace"!
What does it mean to do the same thing again?
etc……
Jiang Qian suddenly remembered the mysterious gift he received from the Duke's Mansion: It seemed to be called "Silent Gaze"?
Could this be the big BOSS of Duke Hyland's Mansion?
Jiang Qian immediately opened a safe distance from the opponent, guarding against the puppet's sudden attack.
However, there were no ingenious attacks.
When the mirror was flipped, Jiang Qian heard the dungeon prompt:
[Congratulations to the player: Hidden Dragon, don’t use it. In the final battle for the ace, you successfully got rid of your own obsession and won the final victory of the "ace" copy! 】
[The main mission is accomplished! Completeness 100%]
[Side mission accomplished! Completeness 100%]
[Select "Settlement" or "Destroy 'Silent Gaze'"]
The main missions and side missions are all full! After calculating this, the experience points should be enough to level up. Looking forward to the first kill settlement reward... Jiang Qian silently calculated in his mind.
But when he hears the last sentence: destroy the "silent gaze"?
Jiang Qian hesitated for this option.
Is it another legendary hidden mission?
Is it similar to the one left in the copy of "Whispers of the Inner Demon"...
In this pause of hesitation.
The puppet that had been watching Jiang Qian silently suddenly turned around and crawled away quickly!
There was no reason for Jiang Qian to let go of this obviously guilty-minded operation.
He jumped after him!
[Hidden mission trigger: Break the "silent gaze"! 】
As the dolls fled quickly, all the collections gathered in the stands and on the second floor around the rotating ring, including the butler Simon and the Duke, were like kites with broken strings, and they fell limp.
Jiang Qian chased the traces of the doll...
To be precise, he followed the thread dragged behind the doll and entered a secret passage.
The secret passage gradually extended downwards, and the servants passing by were knocked off their feet by the puppet. Jiang Qian followed the puppet, and finally caught the faint light at the end of the dark and closed corridor.
He saw the half-human-tall doll crawling into the lighted room in a strange manner.
There was the sound of rustling writing coming from the room, someone was there.
Jiang Qian stopped at the door, raised his fingers, and knocked politely.
"Please come in——"
Hoarse, weak voice.
Jiang Qian pushed open the half-open door, looked around the simple facilities in the room, and then fell on the people in the room.
He was a skinny, stooped man.
The pale skin, wrinkled cheeks, and numerous stains on the back of the hand holding the pen make him look old and frail.
"Silent Gaze" lay on the man's shoulder, stuck out half of his head, and cautiously watched Jiang Qian.
…
"Are you... Duke of Hyland?"
Jiang Qian finally searched for the face that best matched this face from his memory.
It was the fat, fair man with a shiny face who had just been sitting on the second floor of the stand, being waited on by the butler Simon.
Hearing Jiang Qian's greeting, the man suddenly raised his head in fear and declined in a weak voice: "No, don't call me Duke, I'm just a sinner!"
There is a story... Jiang Qian couldn't help but point to the puppet lying behind the Duke and asked: "Do you know there is something behind you?"
"Oh! I know, she is there..."
The old and thin Duke showed fatigue on his face.
"No matter where I hide, it will always find me and remind me to pay the price for my obsession."
Obsession?
"Are you referring to the 'collection' thing?"
Duke Hyland's old face showed undisguised surprise.
Jiang Qian sat down and chatted with the real owner of the Duke's Palace.
The Duke's obsession indeed comes from his infinite desire for "collections": to become the most famous collector and keep all the rarest and most precious collections for himself!
He spent the wealth of generations of nobles to expand the Duke's Palace for a huge collection, and finally attracted worldwide attention.
But his obsession with collecting has also become deeper and deeper.
From regular jewelry and antiques, the boundaries were gradually broadened to exotic animals and abnormal things... until a strange doll that could not be thrown away was sent to the Duke's palace.
"Silent Gaze"...
The servants and maids who encountered the doll's gaze were mentally contaminated and became extremely tense and unable to relax.
Over time, even the collections everywhere in the mansion were contaminated, gained autonomous consciousness, and began to attack visitors!
Duke Hyland had to sell and donate the dolls, but all failed.
The doll seems to have found a base. It instigates the collection in the Duke's palace, constantly attacks visiting guests, and continues to ruin Duke Hyland's reputation.
The Duke had no choice but to pray day and night and copy scriptures in the hope that the situation would change.
"So, does it really work to copy scriptures like this?"
Jiang Qian looked at the scriptures in the room. He only felt that the other party had gone from one obsession to another, without any change in essence.
"How about destroying it directly?"
"It's useless! Burn it, bury it in the ground, cut it into pieces... I've tried all the methods I can think of, but it still comes back! Every time, it comes back unscathed!"
The Duke said in horror.
"For example, my butler Simon accidentally signed for it! Then, I never saw Simon again..."
So, how long has it been since you went out to see the sun?
You don’t know how wild your housekeeper’s current path is…
Thinking of this, Jiang Qian reached out and picked up the puppet on the Duke's shoulder. Under the Duke's horrified gaze, he flattened the puppet on the table and took out the pen in his pocket.
Certain previous clips inspired him.
Breaking the "silent gaze"...maybe this is also possible?
Under the duke's incredulous gaze and while the puppet was struggling silently, Jiang Qianqian wrote on the blank chin of the puppet!
After a while, this mysterious doll had a mouth on its face!
"Now, it doesn't have to remain silent."
Jiang Qian looked at his masterpiece, but saw the puppet covering its face with both hands, terrified!
The mouth under its nose really opened, and it muttered in an unsophisticated way.
At the same time, the many threads gathered on its body broke one after another, vying to be decoupled from it!
This scene was a bit unexpected even for Jiang Qian.
He looked at the pen in his hand and then at the "disfigured" doll.
Before I could take credit for myself, the next moment I heard the long-lost dungeon prompt:
[Hidden mission: Breaking the "Silent Gaze" has been achieved! 】
[Do you want to enter settlement? 】
…
PS:
Correct typos and defects first and later!
I've kept everyone waiting for a long time. Let's catch up on some sleep before finishing and updating the copy~
