Chapter 429 Medusa's Advancement! ( words long chapter)

In the VIP courtyard near the Snake Man Temple, Xiao Aotian was chatting with Hua Sheer.

Hua She'er was frowning, Xiao Aotian was good at reading her expression, and he said immediately:

"It's okay. I'm here to protect the snake people no matter what!"

Hua She'er: "That's not what I'm worried about. I'm worried about the Queen."

As the courtyard door opened, the cold and stunning Queen Medusa walked in:
"What are you worried about, my king?"

Hua Sheer quickly stood up:
"The Queen has come out of retreat, and I was unable to come to greet her. Please forgive me, Queen!"

Queen Medusa: "I did not let anyone know beforehand that I was leaving the confinement. What crime have you committed?"

Hua She'er: "Thank you for your forgiveness, Queen!"

Queen Medusa looked at Xiao Aotian.

Xiao Aotian immediately perked up.

Although Xiao Aotian is not as "proficient" as Yang Shan.

But at the beginning, he was "trained" by Xiao Mei, and later he came into contact with Han Yue and Hu Jia. Xiao Aotian also fell into one pit step by step and gained his own experience.

To what extent has Xiao Aotian reached?

That is, he is very clear that every time an NPC actively interacts with someone, the chance of triggering an opportunity or increasing or decreasing the favorability will be greatly increased!

Xiao Aotian was mentally prepared.

No matter what Queen Medusa said, he would do everything he could to take over the conversation and
Then Queen Medusa said:

"Isn't Young Friend Yang Shan here?"

Xiao Aotian: “.”

Xiao Aotian pulled out the chat bar and typed the two words "Yang Shan".

Then the input method automatically completes the association:
Yang Shan, you really deserve to die! You really deserve to die!

After typing, Xiao Aotian remembered that some time ago he couldn't help but challenge Yang Shan to a duel, and was beaten into a pig's head.

So he quietly deleted this paragraph and retyped it:

"Boss Yang, why haven't you come back yet? Queen Medusa has already come out of seclusion."

This message has not been sent out yet.

Scarlet thunder fell from the sky.

The bright red cloak flutters in the wind.

Lord Yidao, he makes a brilliant appearance!

Yang Shan was calm and composed, and his every move showed the majesty of a strong man:
"Aren't you late?"

Just four words, it seemed that the identity of Queen Medusa was like a white cloud in the sky to him.

But a faint smile appeared on Queen Medusa's cold face:
"No, you came just in time!"

Xiao Aotian couldn't help but send a message to Yang Shan:
"Okay, okay, you can do this, right? You've taken a course on 'Clock Point Studies', right?"

Yang Shan: "I really just happened to be like that."

According to what Queen Medusa said before she went into seclusion, she should be able to come out in two days.

Yang Shan has returned early.

I didn't expect Queen Medusa to also play ahead.

Yang Shan and Xiao Aotian were chatting via telepathy, and Hua Sheer was actually also communicating with Queen Medusa via telepathy.

The main purpose is to report Yang Shan’s situation to Queen Medusa.

After Queen Medusa understood, she asked:

"Young friend Yang Shan, have you been investigating the enemy situation during this period?"

Yang Shan shook his head:

"Not really. I only visited three times. The rest of the time, I was actually practicing in seclusion."

Queen Medusa:
"Have you found any news about the Lion Nether Sect?"

Yang Shan shook his head:
"When I went to Huangsha City for the last investigation a few days ago, I only found one Seven-Star Dou Zong, Shi Tian, ​​but there were two early Dou Zongs accompanying him."

Queen Medusa said solemnly:

"That is to say, including the Dou Zong who stopped me last time and rescued the advance team of the Lion Nether Sect, there are a total of four Dou Zongs from the Lion Nether Sect this time?"

Yang Shan: "I can't guarantee that there are other people secretly."

Queen Medusa seemed to have anticipated this outcome:

"Without further delay, please follow me to the forbidden area of ​​the Serpent Man Temple. I will explain in detail how to help me. I'll leave everything to you two!"

Medusa explained very patiently.

After all, what Queen Medusa is going to do is still very dangerous.

The special secret method of the Snake People is to use the wonders of heaven and earth to destroy the body, and forcibly utilize the great power of heaven and earth contained therein to stimulate their own blood.

If successful, the snake people will merge with the snake spirits, thus completely transforming their bodies into monsters.

But he can transform at any time and can inherit the original cultivation speed as a snake man.

Even because of the influence of the magic beast bloodline, the speed of cultivation will be greatly improved!

Queen Medusa's companion snake spirit is the "Purple Flame Snake", so if Queen Medusa wants to use secret methods to evolve her bloodline, she must use strange fire.

This is why Queen Medusa asked Yang Shan and Xiao Aotian for help.

Queen Medusa asked Yang Shan and Xiao Aotian to use their respective strange fires to help him suppress the Green Lotus Core Fire, making the burning of the Green Lotus Core Fire and the great power of heaven and earth contained therein more "controllable".

Thereby minimizing the risk of her being burned to ashes.

The description of Medusa sounds very difficult for Yang Shan and Xiao Aotian.

But in fact, they are just there to make up the numbers!
[Ding! Players, please note that the plot you are currently experiencing is a "special benefit plot". You only need to consume your fighting spirit to cooperate with Queen Medusa to complete the transformation. After Queen Medusa succeeds, she will give you a generous thank you gift. ]

[Note! You can also choose to take the opportunity to kill Queen Medusa, but whether you succeed or not, you will always be hunted by the snake people. ]

Seeing this message, Yang Shan's heart moved, and he sent a message to Xiao Aotian:
"If I kill Queen Medusa, can I take the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire?"

Xiao Aotian: "Are you serious?"

Yang Shan: "It's just a joke. I'm stupid. Medusa owes me so many favors. I have no use for the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. At most I can sell it. I'm not short of money."

Xiao Aotian: "Now that you put it that way, it seems like I can take action. Medusa doesn't owe me any favors. I will sell the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire to Jin Shankao. He should be willing to pay an eight-digit amount!"

Yang Shan: "Okay, then go for it!"

Xiao Aotian: "Fuck! I was just joking, why did you take it seriously? Aren't you afraid that I will do something?"

Yang Shan: "I'm not afraid of anything. With me here, you still have a chance to kill Medusa? You're drunk, right?"

Xiao Aotian: "Damn! Why are you telling me all this nonsense?"

Yang Shan: "Just a casual chat."

Yang Shan really didn't say these "nonsense" for no reason.

The system prompt reminded Yang Shan of something:

The Black Horn Region is chasing Han Feng!

Although he successfully obtained the Sea Heart Flame, Han Feng escaped from him.

Later, he met Han Feng again.

Without Hai Xinyan, he is still determined to find Medicine Master.

Yang Shan actually had a doubt in his mind.

How did Han Feng know that his target was Hai Xinyan?

Yang Shanke had never used any obvious overloading techniques in front of Han Feng.

And under normal circumstances, based on Han Feng's knowledge, seeing that he had already subdued the alien thunder, it was obvious that he majored in the thunder attribute.

What clues led to the idea that he wanted to subdue the strange fire that was completely different from the strange thunder?
Yang Shan felt that there must be AI Nuwa controlling this.

The most important part of Han Feng’s “main storyline” in the game should be capturing Medicine Master.

Hai Xinyan can be gone, but Han Feng cannot die. If he dies, the plot will be gone!

AI Nuwa’s responsibility is “regulation”, and it must also follow the basic logic of the game.

After all, the core program of the game, at least within one version, is fixed.

The operation within the game will also follow a basic general direction.

Even AI Nuwa cannot "create" a Dou Zun or Dou Sheng out of thin air.

Dou Zun or Dou Sheng can only be designed in the game originally, or increased by a low-level NPC through a breakthrough.

"According to this idea, the person I was facing was not Han Feng, but the AI ​​Nuwa who calculated and gave Han Feng the best way to escape under the current conditions!"

Actually, if you think about it, this is normal.

Assume it is Queen Medusa.

As one of the main heroines in the original novel, Queen Medusa is incredibly popular.

If she was really killed in this version, all subsequent plots about Medusa by the game company would be affected.

Therefore, the program instructions of AI Nuwa must focus on protecting Queen Medusa!
If a life-and-death crisis really comes, AI Nuwa will definitely carry out "focused regulation".

Yang Shan looked at the words "Kill Medusa" in the message.

"Then if I really attack Medusa when she is at her most vulnerable, what countermeasures will AI Nuwa take?"

Yang Shan calculated carefully that if he really used all his strength, Medusa would be burned in the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.

He was confident that within five seconds of his attack, he could reduce Queen Medusa's health to zero!
Apart from Queen Medusa, the strongest snakeman is only a nine-star Douhuang.

It probably took more than five seconds from the time they sensed the fluctuation to the time they arrived at the temple!
How can AI Nuwa protect Queen Medusa while following the basic logic of the game?

Yang Shan looked at the prompts listed by the system again.

Suddenly my heart sank!
He seemed to have found a new idea.

Perhaps, AI Nuwa has already begun to protect Queen Medusa!

Otherwise, this "Kill Medusa" message prompt would be completely unnecessary!
If you analyze this message carefully, you will find that it only contains feasible reminders for killing and the consequences that need to be borne after the killing.

But it does not mention what benefits will be gained after killing Queen Medusa!
"Then is there a possibility that after calculation, AI Nuwa came to a conclusion that the players participating in the plot really have the ability to kill Medusa, and AI Nuwa has no way to stop it with the current available combat power!"

"So! This system message is actually telling Xiao Aotian and me that there is no benefit in killing Medusa. So, what about the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire?"

After arriving at the place where Medusa underwent her transformation, Yang Shan got the answer.

Unlike the scene in the original novel, there is a pool in this underground palace.

There is a lotus platform in the center of the pool.

The faint green flame burning on the lotus platform caused the Sea Heart Flame within Yang Shan's Dantian to react.

"Young friend Yang Shan, Honored Xiao, let me introduce it to you. It is the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, ranked 19th on the Legendary Strange Fire List. Of course, it is not as good as the Strange Fire in the hands of you two geniuses, but I almost lost my life just to get it."

Queen Medusa continued to introduce:

"Now this Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire is placed at the core of my snake race's protective formation. To be honest, last time Yunshan from the Yunlan Sect and that sixth-rank alchemist named Guhe came to snatch the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire and failed, I moved the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire here."

"This great protective formation was created by our Snake Clan's ancestors. It took them hundreds of years to create it. Let alone Yunshan, even if the Dou Zong late-stage Shi Tian came, he would have to pay a huge price to break the formation!"

So, the answer is: The Green Lotus Earth Core Fire cannot be taken away!

Unless, Yang Shan, in the identity of Cheng E, ordered to break the formation when Sha Feng and others attacked!
But this time is inconsistent with Queen Medusa's advancement.

In other words, if Queen Medusa, who has evolved into the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, takes the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire by force, she will have a better chance of keeping her life.

"Now that Queen Medusa is right in front of me, I have to consider whether this is my only chance to kill Medusa alone in the past ten versions. Tsk, it seems meaningless."

Yang Shan would not waste all the favors he had worked so hard to accumulate with Queen Medusa just for an idea.

Yang Shan couldn't do this business which would result in a pure loss.

But this "discovery" is extremely precious.

Just imagine.

Suppose Yang Shan used his identity in the Soul Palace to secretly trip up Han Feng.

When Han Feng successfully captured Master Yao, all his helpers were killed.

Eliminate all factors that may be controlled by AI Nuwa.

Does that mean that players actually have a chance to kill Han Feng by force, save Medicine Master, and thus enjoy this "favor" from the number one alchemist in Zhongzhou alone?
The server-wide plot of "rescuing Medicine Master" was aborted.

Even if the "reward pool" is greatly reduced because the plot is not triggered.

If only one person receives it, what will Medicine Master give out as a reward?
"Young friend Yang Shan? Young friend Yang Shan"

"Oh, Queen, what's wrong?"

Queen Medusa asked softly:
"Young friend Yang Shan seemed a little distracted just now. Is he not in good condition?"

Yang Shan smiled and said, "Oh, no. I actually want to ask, if the Queen's secret method is so dangerous, are you really confident in letting two outsiders help you?"

"You are not outsiders."

Queen Medusa appears very confident:

"I believe in my own judgment. You are trustworthy. Besides, if you help me, you will be rewarded by me. But if you want to harm me, I can't think of any reason!"

Xiao Aotian was a little excited:
"Don't worry, Queen. I, Xiao Aotian, have always been loyal to my friends!"

Yang Shan secretly complained:

"Come on, brother, you're the only one who's loyal to me? Damn it, you dream of sitting in my seat!"

Queen Medusa chuckled:
"Oh? Xiao Gongsheng, you consider me your friend? This is not in line with your status."

This should be the first time Queen Medusa smiled at Xiao Aotian.

Xiao Aotian was confused for a moment and forgot to answer.

Yang Shan shook his head.

He finally saw it.

When given the chance to kill Medusa, players not only face almost invisible benefits but also huge costs.

They also have to face their inner accountability. When did Queen Medusa ever treat them unfairly?
Regardless of what the real other world would be like.

As players, most people come to this gaming world with the simplest longing and fantasy for the game.

Who would do such a thing against their conscience?
Not to mention Yang Shan and Xiao Aotian.

Even if it was Wang Tianhao, he would not choose to attack Queen Medusa!

Queen Medusa seemed ready.

"My life is now in the hands of the two of you!"

In fact, Yang Shan knew very well that even without their help, Queen Medusa would be fine.

She will definitely succeed in advancing!

But at that moment, seeing the sincere face of Queen Medusa, the determination and a hint of madness revealed in her eyes.

Yang Shan's heart was still touched.

Simple words can touch people, and Tianyao makes words feel close to reality.

The impact is naturally stronger.

Yang Shan said nothing, but waved his hand and the Sea Heart Flame appeared in his hand.

Xiao Aotian cupped his hands, veins popping out on his arms:

"rise!"

It's already this late, and you're still so childish.

It seems that Xiao Aotian has completely immersed himself in the role.

Xiao Aotian's performance actually aroused Yang Shan's emotions.

It was just like when Yang Shan first teamed up with Chao Bafang and shouted all kinds of slogans at Chao Bafang.

Immersive games are about immersing yourself in them and enjoying a life that is completely different from the real world!

Yang Shan looked at Queen Medusa with an equally sincere expression:

"Queen, you can go without worry. I will protect you!"

Queen Medusa smiled:
"Well, Young Friend Yang Shan, thank you for your help!"

[Ding! Players, please note that your performance has made Queen Medusa trust you more. Queen Medusa's favorability has increased by +5. The current favorability is 28! ]

Xiao Aotian was originally immersed in the play, but Medusa's obvious different treatment made Xiao Aotian very angry.

Xiao Aotian asked in the chat column:
"You must have received a system prompt! Tell me, how much has your favorability increased?"

Yang Shan: "You send yours first."

Xiao Aotian sent a screenshot to prove that he had added 3 points of favorability.

Yang Shan also sent the screenshot over, which prompted Xiao Aotian to shout "national quintessence!"
"You really deserve to die!"

Yang Shan: "I advise you to organize your words, otherwise after Medusa advances, I will record a video of you beating me up and post it on the forum!"

Xiao Aotian: "Brother Yang, are you hungry? I'll treat you later."

Xiao Aotian is like this, although he is timid, after a while he feels that he is capable again.
Yang Shan didn't say anything else.

Although the system has clearly stated that he only needs to use his fighting spirit to activate the Sea Heart Flame, the system will naturally help him with other things.

In short, it's just a side job and then you get a generous fee.

But Yang Shan still wanted to observe Medusa's advancement process.

Medusa had previously introduced the secret techniques of the snake people in great detail.

Logically speaking, this secret method should be usable by all snake people!
Yang Shan remembered clearly that Yue Mei once revealed that her companion snake spirit was the "Xuanshui Poisonous Python".

In the snake people, Yue Mei and Hua She'er are the companion snake spirits of the current generation, second only to Queen Medusa.

The potential is extraordinary.

If Yue Mei can withstand the beating, when her favorability exceeds 70, you may consider cultivating Yue Mei and thus get a loyal snakeman subordinate.

If Yue Mei's bloodline is advanced, she may not be as good as Medusa's seven-colored sky-swallowing python.

But come to think of it, the worst should be a snake monster at the level of the King of Beasts.

Under the dual suppression of the Fallen Heart Flame and the Sea Heart Flame, the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire no longer dared to be arrogant at all.

Xiao Aotian had already turned on the video and recorded this precious scene.

Queen Medusa stood in front of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.

Flames also burned on her body until they enveloped her entire body.

Then, he jumped directly into the Qinglian Earth Core Fire.

At this moment, the originally sluggish Green Lotus Earth Core Fire suddenly surged.

Yang Shan felt that the rate at which his fighting spirit was being consumed increased suddenly.

And in front, the Fallen Heart Flame and the Sea Heart Flame burned even more violently, which suppressed the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire once again.

But Queen Medusa is already in the Green Lotus Core Fire.

Xiao Aotian cursed inwardly:

"Fuck, I can't see anything!"

Yang Shan glanced at Xiao Aotian:
"What else do you want to see?"

Xiao Aotian: "Of course I want to see her without clothes, ahem! No, I just want to take a look."

Yang Shan: "Are you stupid? Queen Medusa's body is not 70 points of favorability. Who can see it? Do you think AI Nuwa is so kind?"

Xiao Aotian scratched his head:

"That's true, but I feel itchy inside! Don't you feel itchy inside?"

Yang Shan said calmly: "Me? I might be immune to it. After all, I already have Ya Fei and Yun Yun."

"Damn, you are real."

Xiao Aotian thought about Yang Shan's threat to beat him up for posting on the forum, so he had no choice but to shut up.

Perhaps it was because of the cooperation of the Fallen Heart Flame and the Sea Heart Flame, plus Queen Medusa herself had already broken into the Dou Zong realm.

Therefore, the scene of Queen Medusa's advancement is much more "gentle" than the description in the original book.

There were no heart-wrenching screams.

There was no smell of burnt meat.

Three different kinds of strange fire painted the palace brilliantly.

Soon, new colors appeared in the palace.

More than one!
The light was like a rainbow.

As the colorful light grew brighter, an extremely oppressive atmosphere filled the palace.

A thin snake only a few inches long flew out from the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire and instantly expanded into a ten-foot giant python.

The scales on its body shone as brightly as the light it had emitted before.

Yang Shan clasped his fists and said:

"Congratulations, Queen!"

Xiao Aotian also reacted:
"Congratulations, Queen!"

The scales on the ten-foot-long python shone brightly, and when the light faded, the figure of Queen Medusa reappeared.

What disappointed Xiao Aotian was that Queen Medusa's clothes were still intact.

What kind of clothes are of such good quality that they can withstand the burning of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire?

Queen Medusa must be in a good mood, and her voice has become softer:
"Young friend Yang Shan, and Honored Xiao, thank you for your hard work!"

Yang Shan used the exploration panel to check:
【Queen Medusa】(Colorful; Wild Beast)
Level: Two-star Dou Zong

Attribute: Light

Identity: Queen of the Tagor Snake Tribe

Qi and blood: 2400000
Attack: 11557
Defense: 8800
Speed: 3750
Introduction:

1. Queen Medusa's companion snake spirit is a fire-attributed magical beast. After transforming into the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, its attributes are transformed into light attributes, and it has the "Seven-Colored Fighting Spirit" unique to the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python's bloodline.

2. The Sky-Swallowing Python is the top bloodline of the snake clan that appeared in ancient times. The Five-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python is the king of all beasts, the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python is a "wild beast" that is superior to the King of all beasts, and the strongest bloodline of the Sky-Swallowing Python clan is the "Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python", which is an "ancient wild beast" on par with magical beasts such as the "Taixu Ancient Dragon" and the "Ancient Sky Phoenix".

It is called Seven Colors, but the panel is five-color.

The production team of Tianyao Company has made the idiom "not living up to its reputation" very useful.

This panel is really outrageous.

This trip was definitely worth it.

Because the panel of Queen Medusa that was revealed on the forum in the previous life is different from the current one.

There is no introduction about the specific bloodline level of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python.

This should be a special benefit for participating players.

Queen Medusa breathed a sigh of relief:

"You two, if you are not in a hurry, could you please leave first and let me have a good rest. After I have rested, I will thank you two."

When Yang Shan heard this, he turned around and left.

Xiao Aotian: "Hey, why are you like that? Queen, take a good rest!"

Xiao Aotian caught up with Yang Shan:

"Brother Fungus, what's wrong with you? Why don't you stay and chat more?"

Yang Shan: "Why are you staying here? Medusa has already chased us away."

Xiao Aotian: "Even if you chase them away, you can still shamelessly stay and chat more. What if you can improve your favorability?"

Yang Shan: "You think too much. Do you think it's so easy to gain favor with Medusa? I've already given you all the favors you should have. You won't get anything if you stay."

Xiao Aotian: "Then you shouldn't just leave without saying a word. That's so rude. Aren't you afraid that Medusa will be unhappy?"

Yang Shan: "I'm not afraid of anything. I've always been this character in front of Medusa, and I've often been giving her a bad face. Do you think she's ever been dissatisfied with me?"

Xiao Aotian: "The past is the past. She is now a Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python. Her strength has greatly increased. The relationship between you and her has changed!"

Yang Shan paused: "You are right!"

Xiao Aotian was happy: "I told you to show off, now you..."

Yang Shan analyzed: "She owes me a lot of favors, but her fighting ability was just so-so before, so she was not very useful. Now her strength has greatly increased, and she can be my thug!"

"Fuck you, you"

Xiao Aotian's blood circulation was not smooth, and the system reminded him in time:
[Dear player, we have detected that your heart rate is too fast and your blood pressure is too high. Please control your emotions. For your safety, you may be forced to log off. ]

Xiao Aotian gnashed his teeth and cursed in his heart:

"This bastard is really asking for a beating when he's being so Versailles. My blood pressure is rising!"

In fact, Xiao Aotian is the most vulnerable when he is next to Yang Shan.

Because he is currently recognized as the man closest to "God"!

The vast majority of players felt that even if Xiao Aotian couldn’t beat Yang Shan, he wouldn’t be too far behind.

But when following Yang Shan, everything can be compared, and the difference is too obvious!

Xiao Aotian was still thinking about how to seduce Medusa.

What Yang Shan was thinking about was actually using Medusa as a thug!

This situation is completely on a different level!

"No, Brother Fungus, tell me the truth, don't you really want to date Medusa?"

“I had this thought before.”

"what about now?"

"Now, I found something very interesting."

"what's up?"

Yang Shan was about to say something, but suddenly looked up at the ceiling:

"coming!"

Xiao Aotian: "What's coming?"

Queen Medusa flew out of the underground palace:
"You two, it seems that we can't rest anymore. Are you willing to follow me to meet the enemy?"

Scarlet wings appeared behind Yang Shan:

"Naturally willing!"

Xiao Aotian: "I am willing too!"

Yang Shan's speed was much faster than Xiao Aotian's. Xiao Aotian managed to catch up with him using "Three Thousand Thunders":
"No! Brother Fungus, you are my real brother, tell me what you found! There are ants crawling all over my body now."

Yang Shan: "Let's talk about the small things later, let's meet the enemy first."

Queen Medusa has flown outside the snakeman temple.

At this moment, she is much calmer than before.

Although she has not had a good rest yet, she has become a seven-colored sky-swallowing python and has enough ability to protect the snake people.

Even if the one who came was Shi Tian from the Seven Star Dou Sect, it would be the same!
Queen Medusa is ready to fight against Shi Tian.

But as those figures rushed over from the sky, the confidence that Medusa had gained by gambled her life collapsed in an instant.

Medusa even thought at one point that she was hallucinating, or that she had just advanced and was not used to it, so her perception was distorted.

Dou Zong! Dou Zong!
Still Dou Zong!

Why does the Lion Nether Sect have so many Dou Zong?
Moreover, Shi Tian, ​​the leader of the Lion Nether Sect, could only fly in the second echelon!

The mysterious strong man flying in the front was unscrupulously releasing his terrifying power as a Nine-Star Dou Zong, and his arrogant words resounded through the sky:

"Snake people, this guardian will only give you two paths! One is a dead end, the other is also a dead end, hehehehe"
