"It still failed."
In the dark sea of stars, an ethereal voice rang in Xing Yan's ears. Xing Yan opened his eyes in a trance and looked at the man in front of him. The hunter's expression was dim, and his voice seemed to come from far away. passed on.
"I thought that fate could be changed just by warning you." The stalker said softly, "It's still too naive to think about it this way."
"What kind of fate do you want to change?" Xing Yan couldn't understand, so he asked the stalker.
The stalker didn't answer him, he just remained silent for a long time. In the vast star sea, dangling on the edge of darkness and light, countless starlights passed by them, and meteorites whizzed over. There will be wind, but Xing Yan feels that a typhoon is blowing here.
"This space can't last too long, it will disappear soon." The hunter lowered his voice opposite Xing Yan. Although his voice was indeed very low, it could still reach Xing Yan's ears.
"You will become me." The stalker said again, "The established fact can never be changed."
Xing Yan still couldn't understand the meaning of the hunter, "What do you mean?"
"You will soon know what it means." The hunter said, "Xing Yan, no matter what you encounter, just keep your heart."
After the words of the hunter, a violent storm blew up in the dark space, and countless stars flew in front of Xing Yan one by one. The torrent of time and space came fiercely from the end of the source. Fragmented, a huge force dragged him into this endless torrent. Xing Yan didn't know what happened at this moment, but even if he knew what happened, he was powerless to stop it.
After a long storm, Xing Yan seemed to feel that countless forces poured into his body. Rather than saying that he was an innocent member of the storm, he had gradually integrated into the galaxy storm. During this time, he felt that his body was torn apart. After a short and heart-piercing pain, his soul was dispersed into countless particles, which spread in the river until it covered the entire sea!
It seems that a long time has passed, one year or two years, one hundred years to one thousand years, maybe hundreds of millions of years.
Xing Yan didn't know how long he had been drifting in this ocean of stars, he didn't even know if he was drifting, his broken soul made him lose the ability to think for himself, he felt that he was divided into many individuals, each individual Swaying freely in different spaces at different times.
He knew instinctively that he was torn apart by some strange force, disintegrated, broken into countless pieces, and spread into this space where darkness and light coexist, between time and space.
Gotta get those pieces back.
In the end, his mind was only filled with such thoughts, and such thoughts made him crazy. When he went through an unknown period of time to pick up and assemble all the scattered pieces of himself one by one, memory and consciousness began to return. …
It seems that this happened only in a flash. The time that has gone through hundreds of millions of years does not exist, and the process of recovering his soul fragments does not exist. It is just an unbelievable storm in Xing Yan's mind. .
So Xing Yan opened his eyes again and found himself standing in a small dark room.
Surrounded by closed walls, no doors or windows, a simple light bulb hung on the ceiling above his head, other than that, there was nothing in the room, Xing Yan stood here in a trance, at a loss.
"You're dead... temporarily." A voice sounded from nowhere, echoing in Xing Yan's ear.
"Who? Who's talking?"
"I am the Will of the Chamber of Secrets," the man continued.
After the initial trance, Xing Yan quickly calmed down, and he quickly recalled everything that happened before. He touched a Rubik's Cube in the queen's spawning room full of insect eggs, and then... unknown reasons made him unable to Move again, and the last memory is that I was surrounded by swarms of insects...
"What happened?" Xing Yan found that he was calmer than ever before, and emotions such as panic or fear seemed to be stripped away by him. He felt that his body was very full, as if he was still in the vast sea of stars, where countless The constant light of the planet can still give him eternal power.
"It's really interesting. You seem to be able to draw power from your own space ability to maintain the stability of your soul. Even if I imprison your soul here, you still haven't completely collapsed and gone crazy like other players."
The voice continued.
In fact, Xing Yan didn't understand what the other party was saying at all, and his memory was a bit disordered, which made him realize that he forgot some things quickly. Xing Yan was very confused, he decided to be quiet for a while, so he sat down, cross-legged in the empty room, ignoring the voice, he just calmed down.
That voice also quieted down, and he didn't say any more words. In the narrow space, it was so quiet that a needle could be heard. Xing Yan couldn't even hear his own heartbeat, or he had no heartbeat.
But Xing Yan was so calm at the moment, the memory disorder didn't make him panic, he just kept recalling the only good memories in his heart, and the one that appeared the most was the one that raised his head and stared at him with sparkling eyes Scenes.
"It's amazing..." Xing Yan said to himself, "I seem to have connected the future and the past at a certain moment."
Yes, Xing Yan got some memories from his future self in that gap between time and space. Not only that, but he was also torn into countless pieces in that wonderful gap between time and space. He remembered that he seemed to spend a long, long time looking for his own soul fragments. Each fragment contained a considerable amount of power, but In that space, the concept of time is really too unclear.
It was obviously hundreds of billions of years, but in retrospect, I feel that it was just a moment.

On the other side, Luo Jian did not accept the invitation to the secret room.
He refused to touch the strange and powerful Rubik's Cube, because Luo Jian knew that it was not a Rubik's Cube, it was just a bomb.
On the other hand, Luo Jian couldn't figure out why the Will of the Chamber of Secrets wanted him to hold its most important core. Explained the answer: "As I said, it is just testing you. The core of the secret room is the most powerful energy source. It is convinced that no player will be interested or curious, and he also knows that his core is difficult to destroy. That's why I came to test you so openly, whether you accept it or not has another level of meaning for it."
"What will happen if I answer? What if I don't?"
"If you pick it up, it means that you are a person with strong desires and can't control yourself. It's not bad to have strong desires, but it's bad if you don't control yourself. This first step of testing, if you pick it up, it is called a failure. On the contrary, you If you reject him, he will value you more, at least at this stage, you don't have to worry about being targeted by the secret room and threatening your life."
Luo Jian instantly understood, "Oh, I see, this guy is the kind of guy who gets more motivated the more he is rejected."
The Will of the Chamber of Secrets doesn't care about the whispering between Luo Jian and Nuo En, and he also doesn't care much about his rejection. He knows that all human beings are greedy, and all human beings admire power and violence. This is a characteristic that is inherent in the genes of every creature, whether it is a human being or any other kind of creature.
Therefore, the Chamber of Secrets knew that Luo Jian would compromise one day, and the day he compromised was actually not far away.
The Chamber of Secrets didn't want to waste any more time, he said to Luo Jian, "You are the only human with such aptitude that I am optimistic about, and with your special GM body, you are almost integrated with me, there is no doubt that as long as You are willing to accept me, the word strongest is definitely not a fantasy that appears in a dream!"
"Okay." Luo Jianjian answered the secret room, "Since you want to accept me, why don't you just liberate this secret room and all the players? After all, you have achieved your goal, haven't you? Don't you just want the strongest human being?"
"You are not strong enough." The Chamber of Secrets said bluntly, "So I still need these conditions, conditions that can make you more perfect."
"And." Xing Yan, the control of the secret room, tilted his head, and turned his head to look at Norn, "There are still some troubles that have not been eliminated. I must create the most perfect path for my future master. All enemies who can hinder you , all companions who can fetter you, you... shouldn't need it."
"This guy is simply crazy." Luo Jian couldn't help taking a step back, he turned his head and glanced at Nuo En, and Nuo En also glanced at Luo Jian at the same time, "This guy has already gone berserk, and its idea is to create The strongest, and the strong... will never allow any weakness."
"There is no weakness, no fetters... Nuo En, you are simply cheating me, but there are many people I care about."
Norn whispered back, "Really? I thought you were alone."
"Don't worry!" The Chamber of Secrets on the opposite side seemed to have heard their conversation, but the will of the Chamber of Secrets didn't mind, and he allowed the resistance.
"I won't do anything superfluous." The Chamber of Secrets said, pointing to his body at the same time, "This time is just an accident, I will return this guy's soul and body soon, you must continue to carry out this It's a game, and it's far from over."
Afterwards, the Chamber of Secrets set its sights on Nuo En. Nuo En understood the meaning of the other party, sighed, and compromised: "Don't worry, my consciousness has not been connected here for a long time, and I will leave soon. If I want to contact you next time, I’m afraid I won’t have the chance.”
The Chamber of Secrets nodded in agreement with Nuo En's words, so Nuo En turned his head and glanced at Luo Jian, "After my consciousness leaves later, I will become the pure plot person before. Be careful, he may end up at the end Attacking you, and your other companions, I have sent them directly to the lifeboat below through the time when the secret room was disconnected just now, and the only ones left are you and the other one."
Nuo En is considered a good person to the end, he finished all the things he had to explain, then his expression froze, and his movements were slow for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses and looked at Luo Jian inexplicably, "What's going on? This is where?"
Looking at his appearance, Luo Jian knew that the Norn from the future had left, and the current Norn was just a data projection, a storyteller created by the secret room.
Afterwards, the secret room really didn't delay any longer. He ordered an insect to run away with his Rubik's cube in his mouth, and returned Xing Yan's body and soul very generously. After all, the secret room of the ancient ruins, the ghost team And others have not completely succeeded in capturing it, even the Will of the Chamber of Secrets himself does not want to interfere too much with the players' games, and this time it is also an illegal operation.
Then, when the will of the chamber of secrets left Xing Yan's body, the surrounding swarms became active in an instant, and both the queen and the swarms were making strange screams, and in the next second, the swarms gave up screaming and turned to He rushed towards Luo Jian and the others.
Xing Yan had already fallen to the ground the moment the will of the secret room left. Nuoen took on the responsibility of carrying him smoothly because of his huge size, and Luo Jian instantly changed his weapon form and began to clean up the surrounding insect swarms.
But the cleaning work was really not going well, swarms of bugs kept coming out from all directions, and the queen next to her screamed loudly, so Luo Jian looked back at the huge queen bug, and then jumped up nimbly , directly towards the queen.
The queen is the core of the swarm, and the swarm immediately rushed forward spontaneously to surround Luo Jian, but how could Luo Jian be so easily blocked? He stood out from thousands of troops, and stepped on On the queen's huge body!
This is the first time that Luo Jian has changed his weapon form so quickly after immediately shutting down the field. He transformed the weapon into a knife almost instantly. He quickly cut all the nearby bugs in half like cutting cabbage. The movement was so fast. Even the Norn next to him was dizzy.
Immediately afterwards, his target was the pouch in the queen's abdomen, which was filled with densely packed eggs, so Luo Jian cut open the queen's stomach with a knife, letting all the sticky eggs that were the size of eggs leak out come out.
The Queen let out a terrible cry. She waved her limbs and tried to get Luo Jian off her body, but Luo Jian was too small and flexible, and her huge and slow movements could not catch up with this flexible human being!
So while making wounds on the queen, Luo Jian burned wantonly with a flamethrower, and then Luo Jian jumped onto the queen's head, holding the Tang knife in his hand and pointing at the eyes of the huge bug.
"Tell your bug army to stop, or I will destroy you, understand?!"
Luo Jian domineeringly threatened the queen with a knife, and the queen screamed miserably again, but this guy turned out to be very smart, because after the scream, the surrounding insects stopped moving.
Over there, Nuo En was still inexplicably carrying Xing Yan, he barely repelled a few bugs that rushed over, and shouted at Luo Jian: "Hey! Yuan, you haven't told me what's going on, why did I suddenly appear in the here?"
Luo Jian held up the knife and replied, "I will explain later, the situation is very dangerous now, we are already at the lowest level, and we can go directly to the lifeboat after breaking through the siege."
