Almighty Game System

Le Xuan finally remembered that this poem originally came from a novel by Edgar Allan Poe that he had read. This is the founder of the detective novel. His name is named as the most authoritative award for excellent detective fiction in the world.

Both parents of this gentleman died when he was young, he once studied at the University of Virginia for a while and dropped out of school, then he had a military career, and later married his 13-year-old cousin. Such rich and colorful experiences made Edgar's thoughts Some extreme.

In 1841, at the age of 32, Edgar published his so-called "mystery novel" "The Murder in the Rue Morgue", which was hailed as the first true detective novel.

And this poem comes from Edgar's dark and gloomy gothic thriller "The Fall of the House of Usher".

The general plot of the story is that the family of the protagonist’s old friend Roderick Usher suffers from a strange genetic disease, and the house he lives in seems to have some kind of curse. For more than a hundred years, the Usher family has always been a single lineage. All generations have lived in this house, which is the dilapidated mansion where Le Xuan is now.

Roderick wrote a letter to the protagonist of the novel, that is, the dirty letter that Lexuan got by accident on the first floor, telling the protagonist that he had been tortured by the disease and was on the verge of collapse, and that there was a curse in the house His power is also constantly destroying his spirit and reason. I hope that the protagonist can come to the House of Usher for a few days in his lifetime. Psychological fear.

After being invited, the protagonist comes to the House of Usher to accompany his old friend, but on the first day of arrival, Roderick's sister, Miss Madeleine, dies of illness.

Miss Madeleine has been seriously ill for many years. During the last episode of obsessive fainting, Roderick, who was insane, thought that his sister was completely dead. Grief and longing made Roderick even more on the verge of collapse. Before the burial, the coffin was placed in the cellar for fourteen days.

The protagonist helps an old friend to put Miss Madeleine into the coffin with her own hands, and puts it in the coffin where Lexuan once slept. On a stormy night, Miss Madeleine returned to the House of Usher wrapped in corpse clothes. Frightening the mentally broken Roderick to death, the protagonist who witnessed all this fled the House of Usher and watched the ancient House of Usher collapse into ruins with his own eyes.

This eerie story explores the evil and morbidity in human nature. Under Edgar's pen, the House of Usher is always filled with a gloomy and suffocating atmosphere, and the steady Madeleine never speaks a word and is always regarded as The image of women excluded from male language or patriarchal discourse, the crooked four words are the only trace left by Madeleine.

When Le Xuan was reading this novel, he felt that there were a lot of illogical content in it, such as why the protagonist didn’t find out when Madeleine was buried alive, and what supported this novel that had struggled in the coffin for seven or eight days. The woman returned to the House of Usher?
Why did the House of Usher collapse suddenly?Was it a sudden local earthquake, or the protagonist dropped a self-made super bomb in the House of Usher before leaving?

Lexuan went up to the fourth floor while recalling the plot in the novel, but this floor was different from the second and third floors. Outside, there is no partition, completely exposed to Le Xuan's sight.

"As expected of a detective." When Lexuan climbed to the fourth floor, he saw Molivich sitting in front of a piano in the empty hall at a glance. Locke stood respectfully beside Molivich with his head bowed. Beside him, so that Le Xuan could not see his expression.

"You have discovered Miss Madeleine's secret, right?" Molivich said, "Now I don't need to hide anything."

"You don't need to say, I guessed it." Le Xuan said confidently: "You are really an infatuated guy, but unfortunately you didn't appear in the original book, you should be a character fabricated by the system according to the plot, no matter what, in this dungeon , I want to express my respect for your infatuation. However, you originally came to pursue true love, but died in the hands of Roderick inexplicably. Your resentment should be very deep, right? But since everyone is Ghost, why don't you seek revenge on Roderick yourself?"

"Because Roderick is on the fifth floor, and I can only follow you up floor by floor. If you don't go up, I can't face Roderick." Molivich remained expressionless, looking There was no turmoil in his heart.

"So, you want me to take you up there, and then watch you have a battle of the century between the bosses?" Le Xuan said with a smile: "However, in order to match this dark plot, should I also choose a different plot line? ? For example, help Roderick and kill you!"

"Hahaha!" Molivich laughed loudly: "I have to admit, you are really interesting, yes, you can indeed choose this method, but it is a pity that Roderick's shrinking turtle always stays Refuse to show up on the fifth floor, otherwise how could I have been trapped here for so many years?"

"That's because I haven't come yet." Le Xuan said unceremoniously, "It's different now."

Saying that, Le Xuan climbed to the stairs on the fifth floor in three steps and two in parallel, but he didn't take the last step.

"Mr. Roderick, if you and I work together, it shouldn't be difficult to kill these two wastes, right?" Le Xuan shouted towards the dark corridor on the fifth floor, while Locke followed up silently behind him, Pan His metallic nails swelled several inches, and he grabbed Zhao Lexuan's back ruthlessly.

"You idiot!" Le Xuan could only feel a blur in front of his eyes, and Locke, who was behind him, screamed and rolled down the stairs. A pale middle-aged man in a black tuxedo suddenly appeared beside him, with a sickly expression on his face. With a smile, he yelled like crazy: "Molivich, do you really want to destroy the House of Usher together?"

"As long as I can see Miss Madeleine again, what about destruction?" Molivich slowly walked up the stairs and stood in front of Roderick.

"Hahahaha, then go to hell!" Roderick attacked Molivić crazily without saying a word. In an instant, the entire House of Usher began to shake violently, which seemed to be a harbinger of an imminent collapse.

Le Xuan rushed into the corridor on the fifth floor and ran towards the only room on this floor.

"Your mother's hot, why hasn't the system prompted yet? Is it possible to wait until the crumbling house collapses to see if I'm dead or not?" Le Xuan ran to the door while complaining, and kicked open the heavy door.
