Chapter 56
Chapter 56 Ruler of the Dark Tower
Facing Lin Chi’s questioning, the executioner still sat calmly at the table, without any intention of resisting:
“I do not understand what you’re saying.”
“Then I’ll tell you the truth.” Lin Chi walked into the bedroom of this leader-level NPC and put his gun on the back of the opponent’s head: “I was still wondering how these assassins could come by such a coincidence. It should be. You notified them, right?”
Lin Chi had always cared about how he inexplicably completed the “pre-task” of this BOSS battle without making any special actions.
Since he was still in battle, he didn’t have time to think about this issue. But after the battle is over, you only need to think a little, and the truth will immediately surface.
If the mission is triggered when you step into the dark tower, you probably have not found the executioner, and you will directly enter the BOSS battle.
——The so-called pre-task is not to step into the dark tower, but to “talk with the tormentors” itself!
In this way, there is no need to guess who the “manager” mentioned in the BOSS profile and the “warden” in the guard’s mouth are.
“Calm down,” the executioner said.
Even if the opponent used a gun against his head, the leader-level NPC did not resist, but slowly raised his hands and assumed a surrender posture. Added another sentence: “Don’t kill me.”
“Are you really the boss…”
Faced with such a painful “leader”, Lin Chi also felt a sense of powerlessness. He just lowered his voice to remind him: “Will you continue to fight? The killer you sent is not my opponent at all.”
For him, as long as he enters the limit state and kills the remaining six killers, it is a piece of cake. However, if you continue to use that trick, I am afraid that you will have a headache for a while after you quit the game.
The executioner nodded and said, “I know they have no chance of winning.”
While speaking, this looking decadent man waved his right hand slightly.
Following his movements, a scream suddenly came from the second floor of the Dark Tower, and then…
Lin Chi was surprised to find that a kill prompt appeared directly in his sight:
The BOSS battle “killer” has ended, and it took six minutes and seven seconds.
Congratulations to the player “Reverse” for refreshing the fastest kill record of this BOSS! You got the achievement “I am an army alone!”
You get 50,000 US dollars, 100 prestige points, and 100 dominance points.
“…”
Realizing that the executioner had killed the boss with a wave of his hand, Lin Chi asked in surprise, “What did you do?”
“Just let them not get in the way,” the executioner explained.
——It seems that this person used a certain authority to directly kill the BOSS he sent. In this way, this guy should not be just a hero-level NPC, but…
“Are you the administrator?” Lin Chi’s eyes were curved dangerously.
According to what he saw before, in the game “War Paradise”, even hero-level NPCs will not have the authority to kill other NPCs in seconds. If they can really wave their hands directly to the second person, Blackbeard and Satya will not have to run around hard.
Generally speaking, to have this kind of authority in the game, at least it is also a GM.
But if this product is really a GM, how can you set yourself as an NPC and add it to the game map?
“I’m not the administrator, just the’chief’ in this prison.” The executioner replied.
“Then how did you kill those assassins?” Lin Chi frowned slightly.
“I planted bombs on them.”
“Don’t be nonsense.” Lin Chi’s gun was still against the opponent’s head: “You better explain.”
Since entering the game, he has always had questions about the strange behaviors and game mechanics of NPCs in this game.
It seems that some NPCs in the game do have their own independent will, as the propaganda said. And a few of them even knew that they were nothing more than “game characters”!
He remembered that Blackbeard and Satya once said, “We can’t be as free as you.” Those two obviously noticed something.
Even Lin Chi, as a professional player, encountered this kind of thing for the first time. After all, in previous brain imaging games, most of the NPCs were mentally handicapped characters, which did not reach the level of intelligence of these people in “War Paradise”.
——From the perspective of NPC IQ, the game I am playing is undoubtedly making history!
Mindful of this, Lin Chi immediately asked his most curious question:
“You already know who you are?”
“Maybe.” The executioner’s answer was vague.
“What are you talking about?” The girl’s immature voice came from the door. She heard the conversation between the two just now, but did not understand what they meant.
“Don’t interrupt if the adults talk and the kids.” Lin Chi had no time to explain to the girl.
“cut……”
The girl snorted a little dissatisfied, but still left the position in front of the door.
Seeing the girl leave, Lin Chi shook the gun in his hand and cast a dangerous gaze on the blonde girl lying motionless on the bed, like a shocked: “Better say it quickly, I’m a little impatient.”
“Don’t threaten me with that woman, she is inflatable.” The executioner said listlessly.
“You are really righteous to lose your integrity.”
Lin Chi said and glanced at the woman, and found that the texture of her body was indeed different from human skin.
This kind of realistic doll can only be seen in the game. However, now is not the time to think about this question…
Lin Chi was about to continue to ask questions, but the executioner finally spoke slowly:
“You are right, I do know who I am, and I also know that you are an’outsider’.”
This was the second time Lin Chi heard the word “outsiders”. He knew that this should be what the NPCs in the game called the players.
He was about to continue to ask the executioner about the truth of this game world. He only listened to the other person saying slowly: “I know that I may be just a virtual creation, which can only exist in this world, but aren’t you the same?”
“What do you say?” Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.
“You outsiders, like me, can only feel the outside through the five senses, but as far as I know, the five senses of humans should be tampered with by stimulating the brain and central nervous system.” At this point, execution. The author’s voice suddenly became low: “Then how do you confirm that you are’real existence’, and not like me, in a created virtual world?”
Hearing this, Lin Chi also fell silent for a moment, closed his eyes and thought for two seconds, and then—
“Stop talking nonsense, I don’t want to discuss philosophical issues now.”
Seeing that he failed to change the subject, the executioner sighed helplessly: “Well, what do you want to know?”
“Do all the’people’ in this world have the same consciousness as you?” Lin Chi asked.
“I have no authority to answer this question.”
“Where is the administrator of this world?”
“I have no authority to answer this question.”
“What is the origin of the man in the cloak who took the prisoner away?”
“I have no authority to answer this question.”
After asking three questions and getting the same answer, Lin Chi couldn’t help but raised his head depressed: “Are you not even authorized to go to the toilet?”
“This is true.” The executioner nodded immediately.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Chi almost shook his hand and shot the executioner’s head and whispered: “You are cruel… I want to know, what authority do you have?”
“I am responsible for issuing tasks in the Dark Tower and triggering the boss battle.”
Having said that, the executioner simply lay on the table, giving up the treatment: “In fact, this position is very boring, always repeating a cycle, I have had enough… so it ended early. Your battle.”
“According to the normal situation, you still have to send me tasks?” Lin Chi asked curiously.
“There are indeed several tasks left.” The executioner waved his hand weakly: “I think you seem to be’lazy’ just like me, so just end it directly…”
Before the voice fell, a few lines of prompts suddenly lit up in Lin Chi’s vision:
Start the mission: the warden of the Dark Tower.
The quest “Warden of the Dark Tower” has been completed! You get $5,000, 20 prestige points, and 20 dominance points.
Start mission: escape from prison.
The mission “Escape from Prison” has been completed! You get $10,000, 30 prestige points, and 30 dominance points.
Start the task: eradicate the traitor.
The task “to eradicate the traitor” has been completed! You get $15,000, 40 prestige points, and 40 dominance points.
“I’m going, this is a task chain…”
Looking at the series of prompts that popped up in front of him, Lin Chi’s eyes widened slightly:
He knew that if the executioner did not directly handle these tasks with his authority, he would probably have to explore the dark tower for a long time to complete this seemingly troublesome task chain!
With the completion of this series of tasks, he has gained a lot of money, plus the fifty thousand dollars he got after playing the boss, it is finally not as impoverished as when he first entered the prison.
“So, can I recruit you now?” Lin Chi asked.
It stands to reason that after this task chain is completed, he should be able to recruit executioners.
But this listless NPC obviously didn’t mean to respond to the call.
“I’m going to bed.” The executioner yawned.
“Are you more dedicated?” Lin Chi shook his head helplessly.
Now, no matter what the NPC says, he won’t be surprised anymore…
“I don’t want to fight now.” The executioner turned his words: “But I can give you better rewards.”
“What reward?”
“This task is done at the end, you can choose two rewards, one of which is to recruit me and my subordinates, but the other reward is more helpful to you.”
After speaking, the executioner took out a tattered red cloth from his jacket pocket and placed it on the table:
“Pick up this thing, you will understand.”
Hearing this, Lin Chi man stretched out his hand to hold the piece of red cloth suspiciously. What appeared in his sight was not the introduction of the item, but an unexpected prompt:
The quest “Ruler of the Dark Tower” has been completed!
Now, you can use the Dark Tower as your new base and send any prisoners in it to use as your subordinates.
