Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 603 Five-Star Reviewer

As a hard-core knight player with muscles in his bones, Dahui obviously did not understand the meaning of the Philosophical Scepter's words at the first time.

But fortunately, he is a knight rather than a reckless man.

So, after thinking for a while, he finally realized the problem with the words of the Philosophical Scepter.

"Hmm...wait, something seems wrong."

"Transferring the pain..."

"Wait a minute, I think I heard this in the storyteller's video explanation... Isn't this the background story of the Living Sacrifice Ritual dungeon?"

Dahui suddenly captured the key words and further recalled related memories.

According to the storyteller, the background story of the "Living Sacrifice" dungeon can be generally summarized in four words, that is, "transferring pain."

A rat who was out and about accidentally picked up something related to the evil god.

Out of curiosity and greed, it foolishly performed the sacrifice as required, but was entangled by the evil god and endured endless mental and physical torture, unable to live or die.

What is extremely terrifying is that the evil god's purpose is not to torture him, but to give it a way to reduce pain, and this method will spread it to other lives.

The rat naturally did as he was told. He simply could not bear the pain and torture brought to him by the evil god.

After spreading the belief in the evil god to other rats, this rat indeed found that his pain and suffering were reduced.

He was intoxicated by the long-lost feeling of comfort, and began to firmly spread his faith to more of his kind, in order to long for a moment of peace bestowed by the evil god.

As a result... the belief in the evil god quickly spread like a plague, and it was out of control, completely dragging the entire village into the abyss...

As the belief in evil gods spreads more and more widely.

During this period, the rats also discovered that as long as they made others feel pain through various means, their own pain would quickly subside.

Although it will not disappear, you can enjoy a rare moment of peace and comfort.

But this is not salvation, it is just Pandora's box. Once it is opened, it will be out of control.

To ease the pain, the rats began to kill each other.

This is particularly evident in the crazy giant rat.

From the evidence of various information, it can be seen that as the strongest rat here, the other rat zombies are kept in captivity by it, with the purpose of relieving its unbearable pain at the critical moment.

In the end, the rats, perhaps unable to bear it any longer or driven completely mad by the torture, finally held the ultimate "living sacrifice ceremony" under the belief of the evil god, plunging the entire village into silence and terror...'

This is the story that the players dug out from the living sacrifice ceremony.

And after the structure of the storyteller.

Players also gained a better understanding of this copy.

Although the writer never said, "Pain comes from within oneself," he said something similar in the video.

Of course, leaving aside discussions about philosophy and metaphor, let’s just talk about the story itself. “Transferring pain” is undoubtedly the most important point, which runs through the entire living sacrifice ceremony.

Here comes the problem.

Dahui knew this because he watched the storyteller’s video.

But what about the philosophical scepter in front of us?
How did he know?
"Have you also watched the storyteller video?" Dahui tentatively asked the philosophical scepter in front of him.

"..." The Philosophical Scepter remained silent, perhaps unable to find the right words to evaluate his behavior.

Obviously, this is unlikely.

Dahui touched his chin and said, "I haven't watched the video of this philosophical staff. I can draw these conclusions just by observing the surface of the Rat Village..."

"Could this be its special effect?" Dahui's eyes suddenly lit up.

The effect of the Philosophical Scepter has always been a question mark, and no relevant information can be seen, but now it seems to have revealed some important roles.

Thinking of this, Dahui quickly took action.

He began to deliberately go to some important places on the map with the Philosophical Scepter and observe the other party's reactions.

First, there was a dilapidated nest where a young rat was nailed to a cross, his body covered in blood and flesh.

In front of it was an extremely old rat, which was piercing its body with sharp and hideous nails, and it kept repeating words such as "bastard", "I don't have offspring like you", and "You are of no use".

These two mice are mother and son.

But the point is that the young mouse volunteered to be crucified by his mother.

The reason for doing this is naturally to alleviate the pain brought by the evil god.

The reason why its mother said those words was to relieve the pain by torturing the other party's spirit.

Although this is an inconspicuous corner in the Rat Village, players believe that this is an area that must be seen in the Rat Village.

as predicted.

After Dahui came here with the philosophical scepter.

Perhaps because of seeing this scene, the Philosophical Scepter spoke again.

"Life gives birth to offspring through reproduction. The bond of blood makes the two naturally have a closer relationship. This seems to be a kind of instinct."

"However, on the verge of mental and physical collapse, the instinct to survive seems to be in irreconcilable conflict with it..."

The Philosophical Scepter spoke slowly.

It is like a critic, a narrator in a documentary, calmly and indifferently describing everything that is happening in front of it with elegant words.

"really!"

"It actually easily revealed the story of the mother and son of the rat tribe! And no intelligence was obtained during this period!"

"This Philosophical Scepter possesses some special ability to easily see the truth. It can actually directly make relevant comments without any intelligence!"

Dahui was very excited, he realized that he might have found a magical weapon.

For individuals, the benefits brought by the Philosophical Scepter do not seem to be that great. After all, it does not have powerful attack power nor mysterious special abilities.

But for players as a whole, this ability to see the "truth" without intelligence and information is undoubtedly quite powerful.

Thinking of this, Dahui was excited, but suddenly he hit his palm, feeling very annoyed.

"Oh my god!"

"Why the hell did I name this thing the Philosophical Scepter? It's such a tacky name!"

"I should have named it Five Star Reviewer! Ouch!"

Of course, no matter how upset we are, the name of the Philosophical Scepter has been confirmed and there is no way to change it.

This wasn't a particular focus, so Dahui quickly focused on more important things.

"Let's try to see if we can trigger the Philosophical Staff's evaluation in other places!"

Thinking of this, Dahui quickly took action.

There are more meaningful places in the Living Sacrifice dungeon than just this one.
