Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After this conversation, Feng Bujue and Succubus have reached an "agreement".  At this time, the succubus transformed from a monster into an NPC camp and no longer had any intention to attack.

    However, the system did not give any prompts about this. After receiving the key, you still have to make your own decision whether to let the succubus go.

    "Hmm" Feng Bujue looked at the key for a few seconds and then read the item description.

    ¡¾Name: Key of the Curse¡¿

    ¡¾Type: plot related¡¿

    ¡¾Quality: Ordinary¡¿

    ¡¾Function: The holder will be plagued by bad luck (this item cannot be discarded, destroyed or traded)¡¿

    ¡¾Can the script be brought out: No¡¿

    ¡¾Note: The key is consumed after opening the corresponding door.  ¡¿

    Once he saw the effect of this thing, Feng Bujue thought of the second message: [When you think you have got what you want, you have actually lost more]

    "Hey I seem to understand why you are trapped in my bed." Feng Bujue muttered.

    "I'm just unlucky." The succubus responded: "Your room only has such a small space. After I walked in through the wall, I flew forward one meter and reached the top of the bed. Who would have thought that someone would use  King Solomon¡¯s circle serves as a bed sheet pattern.¡±

    Judging from her response, it seems that she does not know the nature of this "cursed key".

    Feng Bujue was not surprised, because he completely understood whythe character in the script looked at things from a different perspective than himself, a "traveler from another world."

    In the eyes of the succubus, this is just a key. If no one tells her, this thing will bring bad luck to the holder.  Of course she didn't know.

    From the player¡¯s perspective, you can intuitively see the relevant instructions for this thing through the game menu.

    Of course, the player perspective will also bring corresponding problems.  for example.  The succubus can hand over the key, but Feng Bujue cannot throw it away or hand it over

    "Can I ask you where this key came from?" Feng Bujue asked again.

    "The boss asked me to give this to you." The succubus replied.

    "Huh?" Feng Bujue asked in confusion: "He asked you to bring something to me, so why didn't you directly explain your intention? After falling into the trap, you kept trying to trap me."

    "Who said I was going to kill you?" The succubus patted the edge of the bed.  Smiling charmingly: "When I asked you to come over just now, did I definitely want to kill you? Can't I do something else? I can just give you the key afterwards."

    Feng Bujue heard the words and thought about it again. It seems that this sentence is in line with the sentence "When you think you have got what you want, you have actually lost more."

    But he also knows very well that there will be no erotic elements in Thriller Paradise.  It is estimated that the succubus said this line because the key has been obtained at this moment, as if the player had an opportunity to take advantage of it.  In facthe was really going to pass just now.  Will definitely be attacked.  It is possible to trigger the instant death flag.

    This method.  Feng Bujue had seen this a lot when playing stand-alone games.  Some depressive games like to play this trick, giving you an option before the ending.  You chose a.  Playing it to the end is a cheating ending.  Then you load the file and choose b.  I thought I could see the true ending this time, but it turned out that the true ending was even more deceiving.

    This is like someone putting a piece of cake in front of you and letting you choose to eat it or not.  If you want to eat it, the poison will kill you; if you don't eat it, he will eat the cake, smash it and say, "It's so delicious, but it's a pity that you can't eat it anymore."

    Woo¡ª¡ª

    It happened that the water in the kitchen was boiling and the kettle buzzed.

    Feng Bujue turned around and left.

    "Hey! You haven't" The succubus wanted to stop him.

    "Turn off the fire and come." Feng Bujue knew what the other party was going to say, so he interrupted directly and walked to the kitchen.

    Two minutes later, he turned off the gas stove and returned to the bedroom with a pair of scissors.

    To be sure, Feng Bujue took out the [Diamond Bell] and activated the special effects before approaching the bed.  The result was command one (observe the details of an NPC).

    ¡¾Name: Succubus¡¿

    ¡¾NPC force: Mystery Club¡¿

    ¡¾Level:?  ?  ?  ¡¿

    ¡¾Height: 165 cm¡¿

    ¡¾Weight: 42kg¡¿

    ¡¾Whether combat can be triggered: Yes¡¿

    ¡¾Additional plot: The Key of the Curse¡¿

    "Since what is displayed is not monster information, it means that the battle can be avoided. From now onJudging from the exchange between me and her, as long as I don¡¯t take the initiative to attack her, there should be no problem" Feng Bujue thought to himself.

    "What are you doing here?" the succubus urged.

    Feng Bujue was worried that there would be extraneous matters, so he stopped unnecessary delaying: "Wellit's nothing." He said, took two steps forward, grabbed a corner of the bed sheet, and quickly cut it towards the middle area.

    The creatures trapped by Solomon's magic circle cannot destroy the magic circle by their own strength.  No matter how fragile the magic circle is, even if it is made of fallen leaves or building blocks, it will fall apart when the wind blows, and the trapped people will still be helpless.  But if a creature that is not affected by this magic circle, such as a human, walks into the magic circle, the trapped person can use the blood of this creature to contaminate the magic circle and escape.

    After Feng Bujue opened the bedroom door, he was not moved by the spring scenery at all. Instead, he quickly saw through the opponent's trapped state, so he gained the initiative and came to a plot line that could be advanced without fighting.

    Ten seconds later, when a gap was cut on the outer edge of the heptagram, Feng Bujue suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and an invisible pressure suddenly appeared. This was undoubtedly a sign that the succubus had regained its strength.

    At the same time, the pair of small bat wings behind the succubus trembled slightly, and then she floated up, "Huh I am unlucky today." She said unhappily, turned around, and left the room through the wall.

    "Hey~" Feng Bujue lowered his head and looked at the key in his hand: "From now on, it will be me who is unlucky." He put the key into his coat pocket and left the bedroom.

    After coming to the kitchen again, Feng Bujue put the scissors into the drawer and closed the drawer completely.  Then he scanned the surrounding scenery with alert eyes, "How serious is the 'bad luck'" His eyes quickly fell on the tool rack, "It's the kind of 'death is coming' at any time.  It could be fatal" As he spoke, his eyes moved to the ground again: "It's still like walking normally. Then he fell down and broke two front teeth"

    In fact, he thought too much. If the cursed key really had such immediate and fatal lethality, the succubus would have discovered the abnormality on the way here, and would not have waited until Feng Bujue's bedroom.  It was because of carelessness that I fell into a trap.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Five minutes later, Feng Bujue came to the living room with instant coffee brewed in boiling water.  He put the coffee on the coffee table first, then put the overturned sofa back into place and sat on it comfortably.

    He picked up the coffee, took a sip, and then let out a cheerful "Ah¡ª¡ª", as if he was an addict who had just taken a sip.

    "If I remember correctly, pages 599 to 602 should be" Feng Bujue put down his coffee cup and crossed his legs.  He opened the book that he had placed here before and said, "Aha! It is indeed "Return"."

    That¡¯s right.  Tips for s.h.  It refers to "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" on Feng Bujue's bookshelf.

    Reading addiction is not developed in a day.

    As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, for Feng Bujue.  This book is the starting point of a long journey.

    When he was a child.  It's really different from other kids.  Although he also likes to play games and read comics, his talent and enthusiasm for reading are obviously much better than those of his peers, even more than adults.

    This book "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" contains all the Sherlock Holmes stories written by Conan Doyle. It was bought by Feng Bujue with his own pocket money when he was in elementary school.  His family was not wealthy and his pocket money was very little, so he bought a reduced copy.  A book has more than 1,400 pages, and the characters are printed very small, which seems quite laborious.

    But Feng Bujue still read the book countless times and kept the book well.  He would never turn the pages of a book while eating, nor would he touch the paper with oily or stained hands. He would not even fold the corners. He would always remember which page he read.

    More than ten years later, this book is still on his bookshelf. Although the paper looks slightly yellow, the writing inside is still very clear, and not a single crease can be found.

    "I didn't expect that I would open this again." Feng Bujue muttered, and his attention quickly focused on the text in front of him.

    These pages 599 to 602 are part of the story "The Empty House", and "The Empty House" is a story in "The Return".

    From the perspective of an experienced reader like Feng Bujue, the story series "Return" should be regarded as the beginning of the decline of the entire series.  The later "Uncanny Valley", "Last Regards" and "New Detective" no longer have the rigor of the early works in the logical reasoning part.  Holmes during this period seemed to be aware of "the changes in his face, the changes in his eyes, the closing of his lips, the clenching or unclenching of his fists"It can truly determine a person's ideological activities and determine the cause and effect of a case.

    This phenomenon can also reflect to a certain extent that Mr. Conan Doyle has gradually lost his enthusiasm for writing such stories, and is only writing to satisfy the wishes of publishers and readers.  This is why none of the Sherlock Holmes stories after 1902 were as successful as previous works.

    Today¡¯s Feng Bujue can actually understand Conan Doyle¡¯s original state very well.  Many writers are like this. When they write a story with a high degree of creative enthusiasm, no one cares about it.  And when they become famous, even if they fall into a creative slump, there are still people who are willing to pay a lot of money to let them submit their manuscripts.

    "A Study in Scarlet" was written in April 1986. At that time, Conan Doyle was submitting manuscripts everywhere, but could not get it published.  It wasn't until Christmas of 1987 that it was published in a Christmas annual magazine.

    And just five years later, despite his intention to refuse, the "Seaside Magazine" actually offered him a thousand pounds in exchange for twelve short stories.

    As a writer who has not wanted to write for a long time, but was still "forced to do so" for many years, it was indeed not easy for Conan Doyle.

    "Oh is it the part where Holmes retells his escape at the Reichenbach Falls to Watson" Feng Bujue finished reading the content on page 599 and basically recalled what was written on the next three pages.  But he continued to read.

    "'I didn't fall at all', 'When I found Professor Moriarty with a sinister face standing on the narrow path leading to the safety zone, I had no doubt that my end had come'.'  In his gray pupils, I saw the ruthless intention." Feng Bujue repeated Holmes' description: "The description of the fight Haha, it's basically no description, and then Lao Mo fell. The scene was  ¡­ 'I looked over and saw him fall a long way, hit a rock, and then be ejected again, and finally fell into the water.'"

    Feng Bujue picked up the coffee and took another sip.  "From this point of view, Moriarty is definitely dead. Unless his physical fitness is close to that of Captain America, and he can still come out of the waterfall after suffering such a heavy injury." He paused: "In that case  Is the owner of the Mystery Club essentially a ghost?" Something suddenly flashed in his eyes, "If it's a living personcould it be that the one who fell was a stand-in? But what kind of stand-in can deceive Holmes?  Eye¡­¡­"

    He put down the coffee cup: "Hmm Or maybe, Old Mo in the Mystery Club is just a projection of Moriarty from a certain period in the original work. Just like other fairy tales and novel characters in the testing building."

    I¡¯m afraid you have to ask the professor himself to know the answer to this question.  So Feng Bujue put it aside for now.  Keep reading.

    Although he can read ten lines at a glance, now he read every word very carefully and recalled what the original English sentence of this paragraph was like (he also has the English version of Sherlock Holmes. But those books are based on the series  If divided into volumes, the number of pages in each volume shall not exceed 500).

    "'The moment the professor fell into the abyss, I suddenly realized that this was the unique opportunity that fate had arranged for me." On the cliff that you assert is a cliff, there are actually several narrow footholds, and there are  A place similar to a ledge. It is obviously impossible to climb all the way up such a high cliff, but it is even more impossible to walk along the wet narrow path without leaving footprints.'" Feng can't.  Seeing this, Jue couldn't help complaining: "You are worthy of being a role model for our generation. If you think about cheating death, then follow through to the end. You would rather risk real death to climb the cliff."

    Looking further back, the descriptions from 600 to 601 are mainly about Holmes¡¯ rock climbing experience.  During this process, one of Moriarty's accomplices, who had been ambushing nearby, attacked Holmes twice with large rocks. If this was a fantasy novel, our great detective would probably have fallen into trouble, and what followed was  The story of falling off a cliff and not dying, obtaining magical powers, magic weapons, beautiful women, or taking the grandfather with you

    Unfortunately, in this early 20th century novel, the role of the protagonist's halo is only: "When I grabbed the edge of the ledge with both hands and hung my body in the air, another stone fell from my side with a roar.  . My foot was empty. Fortunately, God blessed me, and I fell on the path under the cliff. My head was badly bruised from the fall, but I got up and ran away quickly, walking ten miles in the dark in the mountains. A week later, I  When I arrived in Florence, no one in the world knew my whereabouts."

    After reading this paragraph, Feng Bujue said: "Wellthis week's content can be used to write a fanfic about wilderness survival"

    The last part is the content from 601 to 602, which is also the end of this description.

    This paragraph is mainly composed of two parts. The first part describes where Holmes went to level up in the past few years.

    "I am in the westI traveled to Tibet for two years and often went to Lhasa to chat with the great lama.  You may have seen an excellent expedition report written by a Norwegian named Sigerson. I believe you will never expect that this is exactly the news about your dear friend.  Then, I passed through Persia, visited the Holy Land of Mecca, and then went to Khartoum (the capital of Sudan) for a brief but interesting visit to the Caliph (the title of the theocratic leader of an Islamic country), and shared the results of the visit with  to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  After returning to Europe, I spent several months in a laboratory in Montpellier, southern France, studying derivatives of coal tar.  I completed this study to my satisfaction, when I heard that only one of 'my enemies' was left in London, and prepared to return.  "

    And the second part is about the situation of Moriarty¡¯s remaining parties.

    This paragraph is not described very clearly, because on page 600, Holmes said, "Not only Moriarty has sworn to kill me, but there are at least three such people. And their desire for revenge against me  It will only become more violent with the death of the leader.¡±

    But in Watson¡¯s narrative in ¡°The Last Case¡±, this number became two people. These two people were said to be important figures in Moriarty¡¯s criminal group and successfully escaped trial for their crimes.

    On page 602, we become one person again.

    Feng Bujue had already thought about these questions when he read it.  Of course, the simplest explanation is that the author just wrote casually.  Indeed, this change in the number of people is not important in the original work and has little connection with the main story.

    Moriarty's criminal empire collapsed when its king fell.

    However, now in Thriller Paradise, in the script of facing the virtual character Moriarty, the system has set up a very clear prompt 599-602.  Then Brother Jue has to consider this as a reality

    "The 'Swiss boy' who appeared in the last case escaped. Watson's analysis is very reliable. He should also be a member of Moriarty's party, but he is obviously insignificant." Feng Bujue closed the book and raised his head.  He read: "Suppose the man who attacked Holmes on the ledge was one of the 'three', and the other two were characters who had never appeared on the scene and only existed in descriptions." His brain was thinking intensively: "The number of people  Is the decrease due to death, arrest, or seclusion" He turned his attention to the key in his hand again: "Also, the contents of these four pages of the book, and this key, will help me escape from this room, and  Is there any direct relationship?¡± (To be continued)
