I Was Once a Legend

Episode 223

The pace of the robber rushed over, the blood pouring from his chest, the wounds that were healing...everything became slow.

Cui Zuojing adjusted his figure in the air. He threw the boning knife behind him with his backhand. The long blade slanted into the floor obliquely. The young man's feet first landed on the ground. There was a sharp noise until he hit the knife handle with his heel, and then he stopped suddenly.

The teenager's figure seemed to be frozen at this moment, and the next moment, he suddenly stepped on the handle of the knife and rushed towards the robber who was holding up the iron rod and wanted to give him a fatal blow!

With the addition of time and power, all movements of the other party became as slow as a century-old woman. Cui Zuojing rushed past him, and he only waved a knife, and fell heavily behind the robber.

Cui Zuojing stood up and sighed heavily, throwing away the blood on the blade.

He didn't look back. Behind him, the head of the robber fell from his neck. His headless body stood on the spot, and after a few seconds, he collapsed to the ground.

Cui Zuojing turned around, but unexpectedly the cold light flashed in front of his eyes. He drew back very quickly, and the iron rod flew across his cheek, leaving a blood line.

After losing his head and falling down, the thief is still not dead!

The headless body crawled towards the teenager. He just took a step and his body suddenly froze.

Rudolph thrust the knife harder.

Ascertaining that the opponent could not get up, Rudolph hurriedly moved away from this horrible body and asked, "Are you okay!"

"It's okay." Cui Zuojing was amazed by Rudolph's awakening in Kung Fu in a short while. Without saying much, he bent down and pulled out the sharp knife inserted in the heart of the robber to give it to Rudolph again, "Go."

Rudolph complexly took the bloody knife in his hand.

Cui Zuojing accidentally saw a blood fingerprint on the wall when the stolen man flew away. The teenager walked to the ground where the boning knife was inserted and found the blood fingerprint.

"Here." Blood stains appeared again, and the two walked along in a hurry. Rudolph turned his head and saw that the head of the thief who fell to the side seemed to be affected by some mysterious force, and he automatically moved towards the headless body. Get out.

It turned out to be this resurrection!

Then Rudolph thought that in the confinement room, Cui Zuojing seemed to have chopped this person into pieces, and the robber could still catch up. He felt a chill and accelerated his pace to follow Cui Zuojing.

God knows what a ghost place this madhouse is!

I was still here for three years!

The blood stains gradually became clear again, indicating the direction of progress for the two. Behind them came the footsteps of the soul, Cui Zuojing and Rudolph ran quickly, and they ran to the third floor-the sick's residence.

All the doors were locked, and all kinds of patients lived behind each door. Blood stains disappeared at the end of the corridor, and there was a door.

"How could there be a door?" Rudolph was shocked. This is the road he would walk every day when he went in and out of the ward to go downstairs. He was already familiar with the road. He was very sure that it should be a wall at that place!

"This is the exit." Cui Zuojing turned to him and said, "Only by going out of this door can you really escape from the lunatic asylum. Rudolph, you are willing to abandon everything in the past and leave with me to see the world. The truth?"

"What?" Rudolph didn't understand what he meant for a while. Cui Zuojing saw the figure chased by the other robber in the corridor. He no longer hesitated to break the door lock with a knife, pushed the door and walked in, shouting to Rudolph. Tao: "Come with me!"

There was a confusion in the door, and the moment Cui Zuojing stepped into it, the chaotic scene became clear.The door separates the two corridors. The corridor of the lunatic asylum is dark and the walls are dirty, but here is neat and gorgeous, and the velvet carpet is spread.

The soft light illuminates the entire corridor, but the light cannot pass through the door to illuminate the other side, as if the door is an enchantment.

At the moment Cui Zuojing walked in completely, the door closed suddenly without warning, but Rudolph had not yet come in. Cui Zuojing backhanded the kitchen knife between the door panel and the door frame, and successfully blocked it the second it closed.

Cui Zuojing broke the door openly, and he extended his hand to Rudolph: "Come in!"

Rudolph put his hand in his palm, full of sweat, and Cui Zuojing struggled to pull him over, left the lunatic asylum, and pulled into the next scene.

But just as the light couldn't shine into the lunatic asylum, Rudolph ran into the invisible barrier directly. He screamed in shock and found himself completely unable to enter.

He could clearly see the bright corridor with a velvet rug on the other side of the door, and the teenager's anxious face, but he couldn't take a step!

There is a mysterious force stopping him!

what is this?!

At this time, the robber had arrived behind Rudolph, and he roared with rage, and the iron rod he was about to throw off Rudolph's brain!

Should you let go and let the door close and go directly to the next scene, or save Rudolph?

Rudolph is just an ordinary npc in the box, and if he returns to the asylum, he may not be able to come out of this door!

Sometimes it takes less than a second to make a decision, and the time stagnate for a moment. Cui Zuojing strode back to the lunatic asylum. He grabbed an iron rod that was only ten centimeters away from the head of Rudolph and waved the knife to solve the robber again.

Then he opened the door lock of the nurse station next to him and pulled Rudolf into the room.

No one in the nurse's station closed the door. Cui Zuojing recovered time. Rudolph was completely shocked and speechless. He remembered the words Cui Zuojing said when he first tried to test each other--

"If everything in this world is an illusion, what would you do?"

It turned out that everything he experienced, his forty years of life, those rich pasts, and the hardships he experienced in the three years of the lunatic asylum, were all false?

This world... is it fake?

At the moment when he hit the unknown barrier in the door, he touched the edge of this world. The memory that was once cleaned by Kether finally returned to Rudolph's mind intermittently. He remembered his name, Alden, Luke , Mirayan, Ji Haobin, Chen Meng... these are all his names.

These are all "him".

He has countless identities, countless pasts, countless endings, but never has a future.

Rudolph opened his mouth, and his throat was almost speechless: "...What is this place?"

"We call this a'box'. Each box is a small space that exists alone. I need to shuttle among many boxes to complete my task." Cui Zuojing explained softly, "And you, NPC, that is not The player character is set up with programs to match those who enter the box to complete the mission."

"So what I have experienced is fake, right?" Rudolph's voice was shaking, "Even me is fake? You want to take me out of this place, but because I and you are not Same, so you can go, but I can't?"

"Yes."

The night was bleak, and even the night crows no longer chirped.

"Let me leave here."

For a long time, Rudolph seemed to calm down. No one knew how he struggled in his heart. He looked at Cui Zuojing and shed tears in his eyes. He said hoarsely, "This is the wish I have been working for for three years. ."

"Good." Cui Zuojing said, "I said, I will try my best to help you leave."

"Does it hurt?"

"Trust me, my technique is good, I hope you will have a good life next time I see you again."

The teenager stood up and gave Rudolph a big hug.

The other party also hugged him tightly. Rudolph glared wide and seemed to want to finally see this world that gave him a lot of pain. Is his mother still waiting for him to escape from the lunatic asylum and return home?

The tip of the knife instantly fell into his back.

The knife directly damaged Rudolph's nervous system. He lost his sense of the entire body in an instant, and then the knife was pulled out, piercing the heart from behind with no errors.

The blood poured out, hot.

It's like Rudolph is a real person who is no different from him.

Cui Zuojing stepped back and released Rudolph's body.

Laying the other person on the nurse's bed, Cui Zuojing closed his eyelids hard, and finally looked at Rudolph, and turned away decisively.

Outside the door, the robbers have been resurrected again.

Cui Zuojing delayed the time directly, and no more wasted energy on this thing. He pushed open the door at the end of the corridor and found that it was still connected to the other side.

Great, Cui Zuojing loosed his breath and walked in.

The door closed behind him, and the bang cut off the connection between the two scenes. This time, he could no longer return to the lunatic asylum.

[Task update: find yourself]

What a weird task... Cui Zuojing vomited, but he was also a little relieved, and he was finally able to make sure that he was not traveling outside the box plot.

I don't know if I can find Dong Zheng and others this time.

In order to calm down, Cui Zuojing took a deep breath, no longer thinking of Rudolph, who had been "liberated" from this box, he walked slowly forward. This looks like a European-style hotel, and the velvet carpet will step. Absorption, a quiet space without air circulation is easy to suppress fear, and it is also very easy to cause claustrophobia.

The corridor is not long. There are only five rooms in total, which are completely closed, and it will soon reach the end. A large oil painting hangs on the wall, and the sky clouds of red and yellow tones are all burnt into vivid colors.

Cui Zuojing looked up closely, he found a small corner exposed at the edge of the frame, pinched it out and found it was a piece of paper, the note was light brown, like a rush to write with an eyebrow pencil, although panic, the font was also Still Juanxiu.

Vincent campbell

This should be a personal name, translated as Vincent Campbell.

Cui Zuojing put away the note, and at that moment, he felt a heat wave roll up from behind him, almost to burn the tiny sweat on his back neck.

The teenager turned around and suddenly found out that the corridor had already changed its appearance, somehow.

A blaze swept everything in an instant. After it burned, the luxurious carpets turned into small pieces of black and soot, and the wallpaper was peeled off in large pieces to reveal the dark wall behind. The door was deformed and the ceiling was messed up. Even the chandelier exploded directly, falling to pieces of glass, which were melted by high temperature and condensed into different shapes after cooling.

Cui Zuojing was not surprised. He stood there and waited for a while to make sure that no other abnormalities occurred. The teenager turned back and the picture was still hanging on the wall, except that there was only a frame left, and he touched it with his hand. The half-burnt half is directly crushed into powder.
