"Yang Yu, Yang Yu!"
In a daze, Yang Yu heard Bai Jin's voice.
When he opened his eyes, what came into view was the gray ceiling, and Bai Jin was standing in front of him.
What's going on? Weren't we just thinking about how to defeat the previous demon king? Why...
Yang Yu tried to move his body and found himself lying in a large cloud-like purple "cotton wool".
Bai Jin extended her hand towards Yang Yu, who took it.
Yang Yu was pulled out of the purple cotton wool by Bai Jin.
His groggy head suddenly became clear. Yang Yu looked back and saw that besides him, Iyas and the others were also lying in the purple cotton wool. Everyone was waking up one after another.
Was everything just now just a dream
Yang Yu immediately asked Bai Jin: "Bai Jin, do you remember what happened before? Not what happened before passing through the portal, but what happened after passing through the portal."
"If you're talking about the adventures of the brave Laux and the successful defeat of the Goblin God and the Centipede Queen, I remember everything." Bai Jin answered affirmatively.
"It seems that what I just experienced was not my own illusion." Yang Yu looked at the purple cotton wool that had just wrapped him, and muttered to himself, "Is this virtual reality?"
"We have experienced similar situations in the Labyrinth of Courage. This incident seems to be a replica of the last test." Lotkar crawled out of the purple cotton wool. Even though there was no purple cotton wool on his body, he shook his body subconsciously. "Yang Yu, you haven't experienced it, but everything that happened there, just like now, completely simulated reality.
It’s just that we were fighting each other back then, so we had a chance to find loopholes, but now that all our consciousnesses are connected, it’s almost impossible to find loopholes.”
“It takes a similar but different design.
If I remember correctly, the illusion of the [Hall of Courage] was created based on memory.
In other words, the world just now was created using the memories of the brave Laux.
That doesn't seem quite right, we've also been to places that Brave Laux hasn't been to.
Perhaps, the brave Laux also used the memories of other people to complete that world.
We still don't know why we were kicked out of the adventure of the brave Laux. After everyone wakes up, we will investigate the surrounding situation."
As Yang Yu spoke, he went to check on Iyas, Qiuye, and He Meng.
Except that they did not figure out the situation immediately, they were fine, and their memories all ended at the moment they killed the [Centipede Queen].
The purple cotton wool is just a door into virtual reality and has no side effects.
Iyas raised her hand and created a shining ball of light in her palm, illuminating the way forward for Yang Yu and the others.
Bai Jin also used magic to create a light platform above their heads that could illuminate the surroundings. If they were attacked by any monsters, they would be able to detect it immediately and react quickly.
However, in this dim underground, Yang Yu did not encounter any monsters, but only saw a huge stone tablet standing in the center of the dark space.
Sensing Yang Yu and his men approaching, the stone tablet emitted light, illuminating the surroundings slightly, revealing golden words:
"Defeat 2 of the Four Demon Kings in an average time of 18 minutes and 12 seconds. Pass rate +20%
Defeat 24 Demon Lords in an average of 4 minutes and 2 seconds. Pass rate +12%
Defeat 576 demon elites.
Knock down the demon soldiers."
A statistical table appeared on the stone tablet, listing everything Yang Yu and his companions had done in the illusion.
Not only how many enemies Yang Yu and his team have defeated, but also how many people Yang Yu and his team have rescued. In addition, there are some miscellaneous items, such as "world public satisfaction", "satisfaction of various countries with the heroes", "degree of ecological damage" and so on.
Not all items are marked with gold text, there are also many white items, such as "Defeat the Demon King, not completed, pass rate +0%".
In addition, some items are marked in extremely conspicuous red.
For example, "indiscriminate killing".
Yang Yu remembered that he had never attacked civilians, so how come there were hundreds of indiscriminate killings for no reason, and his success rate was reduced by several percentage points.
If you think about it carefully, this may be related to the fact that they wiped out the Demon King's army in one fell swoop.
After all, no one can be 100% sure that all the people in the Demon King's army are bad guys.
It is possible that some demons were forced to join the army because of life's pressure, and they just want to live a good life; it is possible that some demons still have their own conscience and are willing to become undercover agents for humans to resist the devil.
Perhaps, this stone tablet also includes that group of people in the statistics.
Without knowing it, Yang Yu lumped them all into one category and eradicated them completely.
No matter which project, there will be a pass rate in the end. The pass rates of each project are added and subtracted, and the total becomes 100%.
The words continued to appear on the stone tablet:
“Congratulations to everyone on successfully passing the test.
Based on your actions in the world of consciousness, this stone tablet preliminarily determines that you are qualified to control the holy sword.
It is not only the brave who can possess the holy sword, but the one who possesses the holy sword and can defeat the devil is called a brave.
However, whether you can finally obtain the holy sword depends on your performance in the future.
You will undergo test after test and finally reach the place where the holy sword is kept.
Please make all kinds of preparations.
Once the test begins, unless someone pulls out the holy sword, you will be trapped in the maze forever."
It seems that the pass rate is the key to passing the illusion.
As long as it reaches 100%, the test can be ended early even if the demon king is not defeated.
If it does not reach 100%, even if you successfully defeat the devil, you will become the enemy of the whole world for killing innocent people and will not be allowed to pass the level.
All of these actions were done in order to select a master for the holy sword.
Judging from the words on the stone tablet, the holy sword is not only for heroes.
As long as you can pass the subsequent tests, will you be able to obtain the holy sword and have the power to defeat the devil
If you can get a holy sword as a weapon, you can save the trouble of upgrading the blade and just use it to the end.
It's a very good choice
Yang Yu was still thinking, and the words continued to appear on the stone tablet:
"If you are fully prepared, please place your hands on the stone tablet and prepare for the real test."
Yang Yu took a step forward, but after only two steps, he stopped again.
Various people and things related to the brave Laux flashed through his mind.
Everything that has happened so far shows that the hero Laux is a true hero with a heart for the world. Even after his death, he will build various mazes to distribute the things he has obtained and enhance the overall strength of this world.
No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't find any flaws.
But is he really an excellent and ideal hero
