When I opened my eyes this time, I didn't appear in any manor as Shao Ci thought, but...in a maze
Indeed, no matter how you look at it, it is a labyrinth. There is an oil lamp hanging at a distance, and there is nothing but the aisle.
And behind Shao Ci is a wall, there is no place to walk at all.
"Could it be that he directly entered the dungeon where the demon was the villain boss?" Shao Ci thought as he walked forward, "After all, the Duke Stuart in the first dungeon was burned to death, right... the one from a long time ago I've worn it a long time ago... "
Fortunately, Shao Ci has read a lot of articles with horror backgrounds before, and he probably knows how to get around the maze. As long as he sticks to one side of the wall and keeps going, he can always reach the end. The trouble is that it takes a lot of time.
But Shao Ci didn't care about time, he was more worried about whether some monster would appear suddenly.
Soon after turning a corner, Shao Ci stopped in his tracks, and there was a painting hanging on the wall in front of him.
If it was before, Shao Ci would definitely have used this as a decoration, but seeing the portrait of Duke Stuart now, he was out of his mind so he couldn't find out what's wrong.
Shao Ci nervously prepared to bypass the painting and walk over. When he walked in front of the painting, he couldn't help turning his head to take a look, and saw the exquisite blond boy smiling at him suddenly.
"!" Shao Ci walked away quickly, walking forward without looking back, and he was relieved until he couldn't see the painting when he looked back.
However, the painting was gone, but in the dark shadow of the maze, many dark monsters sprang out. These monsters seemed to be of the same type as the monsters in Xavier's dungeon.
"Hmph..." Forget about anything else, this kind of monster Shao Ci is not afraid at all, he just waits for them to come over and slashes forward neatly.
The knife blessed with holy water cut the monster apart quickly.
But these monsters did not die, but turned into black mist, and condensed again the next moment.
"This is a little troublesome." Shao Ci's face darkened, killing these monsters is nothing, but if these monsters can't be killed, what he does is meaningless.
It seems that we still have to leave quickly, this road cannot be followed, and the previous method cannot be used, so Shao Ci turned back in a hurry.
As if a switch had been turned on, monsters emerged from the maze and chased after Shao Ci one after another.
Shao Ci had to deal with these monsters to buy time for himself to run away. If he was really surrounded by monsters, he would definitely be doomed.
While concentrating on dealing with the monster, Shao Ci suddenly felt something cold touching the back of his neck, and turned his head to see a painting behind him.
The hand of the lifelike blond youth in the painting has stretched out from the painting.
Shao Ci was almost scared to death, he quickly turned around and took a few steps back, still feeling terrified.
And the portrait was restored to its original state, the extremely handsome young man on it was looking at him with somewhat melancholy eyes.
Shao Ci: "!" It's useless to look at him with such melancholy eyes!
Being besieged by monsters won't kill you right away, but who knows what will happen if you get pulled into a portrait! This is not just a matter of life, but also a matter of chastity!
After that, Shao Ci paid special attention to the things on both sides of the road, and found that there were still a lot of portraits in the maze. If he didn't pay attention, he might be dragged into it.
If it was someone with less mental power, he would have been hit long ago, and Shao Ci was a little tired at this time.
Suddenly he saw a door ahead.
"Exit?" Shao Ci hurriedly walked over, feeling a little shocked in his heart, obviously he was running so carelessly in this maze, yet he was able to reach the exit so quickly.
Putting his hand on the door, Shao Ci heard the game system prompt sound in his head.
[You need to answer the puzzle to open the door.]
Shao Ci: "??" Wait, he didn't see anything on the way, how should he answer the question...
The next moment, a translucent screen unfolded in front of his eyes. Shao Ci took a closer look and fell silent.
On this screen, there are actually various topics written... and what's more, it's future knowledge! !
In the lower right corner, it is specially written that if you don’t want to give up, you can give up, but the monsters in this maze will become more and more powerful as time goes by, and there is only one exit.
What's the matter with taking a test paper to play a game? Hey! It is totally different from the previous style of painting! Or is it just about him.
Shao Ci: "..." Ah, at this time, I can only ask the system.
However, the system said that there is nothing it can do about this kind of problem. All it can do is provide Shao Ci with future textbooks.
"I...I..." Shao Ci's hands were almost trembling, but there was no other way right now, he just gritted his teeth and said, "Pass these materials to me."
Even if you can directly input the information into your mind, the information will not be understood immediately and naturally, it will take time to study.
Fortunately, Shao Ci has some vague memories of the original owner, and he can recall part of the knowledge from his memory, so that he doesn't have to start learning from elementary school textbooks.
In this way, Shao Ci wrote the test papers while studying painfully, and it took some time before he finally finished all of them.
It is also because of the strong mental power that learning and understanding have become a lot easier, otherwise Shao Ci would have to stay in this place for ten days and a half a month.
After finally pushing open the exit door, Shao Ci felt exhausted physically and mentally.
He would rather fight monsters than suffer this kind of torture, okay? ! Should it be said that the villain boss really deserves to be a demon...
And behind the door is a wide space, a young man is standing in the center waiting.
The young man had a beautiful face that could be called gorgeous, jet-black hair like a crow's feather, golden eyes, and a pair of jet-black wings. He smiled and looked at Shao Ci, and said softly, "Sure enough, we met again."
There is no doubt that this guy is the devil.
Shao Ci felt that this face looked familiar for a moment, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
Looking at Shao Ci with a tired face, the other party said maliciously: "I thought you should slow down... Do you feel the taste of despair?"
"No, get out." Shao Ci took out his dagger, and rushed forward without hesitation. He just wanted to beat this guy to death to vent his anger.
"The attitude is really bad." The devil sighed, "I thought that if I was tired, I could eat and rest first, but it seems that you don't need it?"
Shao Ci: "...!" Damn it, this guy is definitely trying to trick him!
Shao Ci's figure froze for a moment, then he ran a little faster, and rushed directly in front of the opponent, stabbing directly with the dagger in his hand.
Of course, it was blocked by the opponent.
I also know that it is impossible to kill the villain boss at the beginning.
The two fought like this, saying that the fight was not bad, but in fact it was Shao Ci who was beaten and retreated steadily.
This is not the first time the two have fought each other. The last time it was okay, Shao Ci could even be said to have the upper hand, but that was based on the fact that the opponent used Kevin's body to limit his strength...
Now, relying on Shao Ci's skill can't deal with him at once...
After all, Shao Ci is only alone, but the other party can summon a bunch of black shadows similar to tentacles from time to time, okay? !
"I can't help it." I had to use my mental strength.
Shao Ci is still very self-aware of his skills, he can deal with some salted fish, but it is fine to fight elite monsters and villain bosses.
At the moment when he directly used his mental power, he couldn't feel the existence of the other party.
Shao Ci: "???" Hey, this kind of problem will kill people at this time? !
The next moment, Shao Ci's body was directly entangled by the black shadow, unable to move at all. He was surprised to find that his mental power was unable to perceive this shadow.
And the demon also came over, lifted his chin, and leaned his head closer, those golden eyes looked straight at him, "... Well, haven't you noticed yet?"
"What did you find..." Shao Ci felt that he was stupid for writing the inscription, and said, "... I have a problem with my mental strength, could it be your fault?"
"You can't feel me..." The demon smiled slightly, "Is it because I'm not a human being, so I don't have spiritual power at all?"
Shao Ci: "..." What the hell you said makes sense.
"Ah." The devil seemed regretful, "Your spiritual power is really powerful, but it's useless against me."
"No..." Shao Ci suddenly thought of something, and said, "Obviously the other villains can feel it, and they are not human, so how could it be only you... Actually, you are that guy..."
If it's the central computer of the final villain boss, it's normal to have no mental power... Nima's artificial intelligence has mental power. In this way, it's strange that the villains in other dungeons have mental power!
Thinking about those guys who played games and turned into vegetative people, Shao Ci suddenly felt something bad... Could it be that the consciousness of these villains was once human
This really looks like something this anti-social central computer would do! !
"Ah, I'm in trouble. I didn't expect you to find out." The demon said, but his tone didn't sound like any surprise, "If that's the case, I can't let you get out alive?"
Shao Ci's face paled instantly.
He racked his brains to recall again. In the original work, Jiang Qinghan seemed to have directly defeated the villain boss... Does it really depend on the protagonist's halo
But the other person's face was getting closer and closer to him, and when Shao Ci subconsciously closed his eyes, he felt something soft and moist touch his lips.
… Eh
Him, was kissed?
Shao Ci opened his eyes almost in shock, and saw a smiling black-haired young man. The other party held his face and said, "Are you scared? How could I really kill you? It would be too much to say that." wasted."
He was indeed frightened, but compared to being killed, it was more terrifying to be kissed just now...
Shao Ci: "You, what did you just do to me..."
"That's a sign." The other party said softly: "After all, from today onwards, you are mine."
"Wait, when did this happen?" Shao Ci was in a daze.
"Have you not understood yet?" The other party seemed distressed, and said softly, "You know, if you were an ordinary person, you would have died just now? And you are still alive, I let you go I lost you... So, you who lose must stay by my side."
What kind of overlord clause is this? Hey!
Shao Ci felt that it was because his soul was saved by the system after he died, and the villain boss of the central computer could not handle it, so he became interested...
In fact, things were far from what Shao Ci thought.
The villains in the dungeon are all AI controlled by the central computer to some extent, and in order to exercise the player's mental power, almost all the characters in this game are built with mental power, the only exception is the central computer (Of course he won't come out under normal circumstances).
And as the central computer, he also vaguely feels the feelings of those AIs, and even has their memories... Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that he was affected and developed some feelings for Shao Ci.
It doesn't matter what happens to other humans, but it would be great if Shao Ci's words can stay by his side.
He also wanted to do this when Shao Ci hung up the last dungeon, but he didn't expect that Shao Ci's soul was protected by some invisible existence, which prevented him from doing anything, and he could only do it in this world.
He hugged Shao Ci, took a step forward, and the surrounding scenery instantly changed to the appearance of that hall, and the black-haired young man with the devil's appearance instantly turned into the handsome man with silver hair and blue eyes before.
The mask that used to cover his face also disappeared... Shao Ci finally knew why he felt familiar before, because this face is the face of the central computer, okay? !
The other party sat on the throne again, and this time, Shao Ci was forced into his arms, and a neck ring was put on his neck. The function of this neck ring seemed to be to restrain his mental strength... After all, it would be very troublesome if a person with strong mental power wanted to make trouble.
Shao Ci: "..." Well, after so many worlds, I'm almost used to this kind of thing.
"Aren't you tired like before? Eat something and have a good rest now." The silver-haired young man waved his hand lightly, and the surrounding environment changed again.
This time I was in a garden surrounded by beautiful flowers, the sun was pouring down gently, and it was warm on my body, and in front of me was a table full of delicious snacks, and I could almost smell the fragrance of the snacks .
This is so convenient... Shao Ci was a little surprised.
Shao Ci tentatively picked up one and took a bite, his eyes lit up immediately.
It's completely different from eating everything in Xavier's copy before. The food in front of me is completely indistinguishable from reality. Even because it is directly felt with mental power, it even tastes a bit more delicious than reality.
Anyway, it's already like this, so just enjoy it, won't you be able to leave naturally when it's over? !
When Shao Ci was immersed in the world of gourmet food, someone next to him pulled his sleeve. Shao Ci turned his head and saw a silver-haired boy who looked like thirteen or fourteen years old. He hugged Shao Ci's arm intimately, eyes closed Shining brightly, he said briskly, "Come on, feed me, feed me."
"..." Shao Ci put the snacks in his mouth and he calmed down.
On the other side, someone grabbed Shao Ci's other sleeve. Shao Ci turned his head and saw a five or six-year-old silver-haired gentleman. He pursed his lips and said coquettishly, "I want it too."
Shao Ci looked up, only to see the silver-haired young man sitting opposite him drinking tea and smiling at himself.
Is it fun to score? !
When the afternoon(?) tea was finally finished, the boy and Mrs. Zheng who appeared suddenly disappeared, and the environment changed to the bedroom.
Looking at the large bed that can accommodate seven or eight people, Shao Ci felt that he had to find something to talk about... If he lay on that bed, he would really do something even if he didn't want to!
So he quickly said: "I still want to ask a question, as long as it is in this world, no one can beat you, so why would you do such a thing..."
"Of course it's because it's fun." The silver-haired young man said casually, "Isn't it too boring to have everything as you want? You have to find some fun in life. And these human beings who are constantly struggling because of fear of death, Isn't it the most interesting existence?"
Shao Ci: "..." Ah, I knew this would be the result, he was such a vicious villain in the first place.
And if the villain doesn't die, how can the protagonist have a chance!
"Of course, you are different from those humans." The silver-haired young man patted Shao Ci's head, "You are my favorite pet."
Shao Ci: "..." Petting your size.
A few days passed like this, in fact, Shao Ci didn't know it was a few days, the concept of time and space in such a virtual world has become blurred.
That day, when the silver-haired young man was about to ask Shao Ci to massage his shoulders, he suddenly frowned, with a disgusted expression on his face, "...I didn't expect that."
Shao Ci was taken aback, "What's wrong?"
The other party grabbed Shao Ci's hand and said, "I'll take you to see something interesting."
After the words fell, the two appeared in a strange space.
This place is like a fairy tale world, with brightly colored mushrooms and flowers growing several people's height.
It seems very novel, but thinking about the huge bugs that this kind of dungeon is supposed to fight, Shao Ci is in a bad mood.
And not far from the two of them, there is a person standing, that is Jiang Qinghan.
His image was a bit embarrassed, but overall he was clean and tidy, but his expression was still as arrogant as before, as if he didn't take anything seriously.
If it was in the past, Shao Ci would definitely feel that he deserved a beating like this, but now he is so excited that he can't wait to rush up and kiss Jiang Qinghan.
"I didn't expect you to come here alive. It really impressed me." The silver-haired young man said, "Well... this is the eighty-first copy."
Shao Ci: "..." Damn it, this, this is too hard.
He felt like he was going to die with only 3 dungeons, how could Jiang Qinghan's more than 80 dungeons be okay
Jiang Qinghan didn't look at the silver-haired youth at all, he just looked at Shao Ci fixedly, "Why did you appear here?"
Although Jiang Qinghan's tone was very cold, Shao Ci could feel that there was still some worry... He didn't know why he could feel it, maybe it was because he had encountered too many Tsundere, and he already had a built-in translation function.
"He's mine now." The silver-haired youth directly hugged Shao Ci into his arms, and showed Jiang Qinghan a demonstrative smile.
"What?" Jiang Qinghan's expression suddenly turned cold.
"Because he lost to me." The silver-haired young man said flatly, "But if you lose, I will just kill you."
He let go of Shao Ci, and Shao Ci stepped back immediately.
"I will win." Jiang Qinghan looked straight at Shao Ci, without a trace of flinching in his tone, "Then leave here." He took out a golden long sword, which seemed to be obtained from these dungeons new weapons.
"If you can do it." The silver-haired young man seemed very indifferent, and a black mist had already emerged from his body... Shao Ci thought that he might be able to use the skills that every boss would use, after all, this is the ultimate boss. Hey !
The two fought together like this. Of course, in the eyes of Shao Ci who was watching, it was just the silver-haired youth who was crushing unilaterally.
"Ah..." Shao Ci became anxious. No matter how much he thought about it like this, he felt that Jiang Qinghan would not be able to win. What made it possible for him to beat the villain boss
He was thinking hard at the side, and the silver-haired young man over there who had no intention of releasing water had already beaten Jiang Qinghan to the ground. Jiang Qinghan gritted his teeth and took out a dark book from his arms.
Shao Ci's eyes suddenly brightened, "!" That's right, this is it!
Jiang Qinghan's seems to be something called the Book of Demons... Although there may be problems with this thing, but now I can only trust the protagonist's halo.
If you use this book, if you pull the central computer in, maybe you can really succeed, no, this time it will definitely succeed, otherwise you won't be able to defeat the villain boss, and Shao Ci doesn't know how he will leave this world.
However, those big black hands couldn't touch the silver-haired young man at all. He was about to walk in front of Jiang Qinghan as if he was strolling in the garden.
At this critical moment, Shao Ci suddenly rushed forward, and under Jiang Qinghan's astonished eyes, hugged the silver-haired young man and bumped forward into the big black hand, and the two were immediately pulled into that space.
As long as he can succeed, it doesn't matter if he sacrifices himself!
