Having a hole cut open in your stomach by yourself, this kind of pain and impact on people's spirit does not mean that you can be relieved if you escape the disaster and survive the advanced dungeon.
This time, Lin You did not stand in front of the three blue light screens covering the system space, but sat slumped there. She felt so tired. This time it seemed to be true. She truly realized that there was something wrong with her psychology.
Very, very serious problem.
Why live in such pain
Lin You couldn't help but think like this. In fact, as early as the beginning, her mentality was a bit unbalanced. Why no one chose me, why no one was willing to take me, why I participated in this game. He starts to be indifferent to players in the game, and starts to be indifferent to the world outside the game. Lin You clearly saw the mental state of the players early in the morning, and desperately told herself not to become that kind of person, but in fact she was still slowly developing towards that situation. In fact, if she hadn't set the bottom line for herself at the beginning, , she must have degenerated into a monster long ago.
Whether the surviving players are obsessed with power or just playing the world like music, they are all doing well. The horror of this game is that in the early stage, players died from copies, and in the later stage, players died from self-destruction.
Copy after copy makes people lose hope.
Lin You has such symptoms of self-destruction.
"Congratulations to player Lin You for successfully clearing the advanced dungeon. The permissions will now be opened for you. Please wait..."
It was no longer the cold mechanical electronic sound before, but Mother Lin's voice. It would not be easy for Lin You to come out of her inner world, but Mother Lin was different. They are the closest people in the world, and Lin You suddenly came back to her senses.
"Mother?"
"Permissions are enabled!"
Suddenly, the surrounding darkness was dispelled. It seems to be a city all around, with people coming and going and busy traffic. Lin You and the three blue light screens in front of her seemed to be aliens in this world. No one cared about them. What was presented to Lin You now seemed to be an image.
suddenly
Lin You suddenly rose from the ground, slowly rising, rising... This is a planet similar to the earth, blue and very beautiful. Even the galaxy outside was the same... Wait, Lin You, who had just been shocked by the magnificent scenery of the universe, suddenly saw a black shadow not far from the blue planet.
The shadow moved very fast, approaching the planet little by little. Lin You lowered his head and looked at the planet under his feet. Originally, he couldn't see the people on the ground, but somehow, Lin You saw them.
The originally happy crowd began to argue, tear up, and then—kill each other!
When the shadow covered the planet, the planet was split into small fragments, and the original planet collapsed into a flat surface. The fog that Lin You was very familiar with acted as the filler between the fragments.
"What is this?" Lin You's eyes widened. Is this the process of forming a copy
The system did not answer, but standing on this copy plane, Lin You seemed to see some familiar buildings. It was a school, a school shrouded in darkness.
The teaching building, staff building, canteen, lake and even the pavilion on the lake all made Lin You familiar and frightened. Standing in the center of the pavilion was Qin Zhen, who was reading through an old diary. As if she felt Lin You's gaze in the air, she turned her attention away from the diary and then slowly raised her head.
One person and one ghost, their eyes facing each other. Lin You was startled, but Qin Zhen suddenly smiled. When she smiled, the whole scenery changed dramatically, and Lin You once again returned to the pavilion in the first copy.
"I didn't expect it to be me." Qin Zhen sighed, "Did all the bosses in the dungeon you experienced almost die, or are we more destined?"
Lin You took out the kitchen knife defensively. Although Qin Zhen was the source of her and Qi An's encounter, it didn't prove that she was a good ghost. In the first dungeon, Qin Zhen even killed innocent NPCs.
"There's no need to be so defensive." Qin Zhen looked at Lin You who had obviously improved a lot in strength and spread his hands, indicating that he had no ill intentions. "I'm just the boss of the novice copy. I probably can't bear the sword you're delivering now."
If Brother Wang hadn't been greedy and added a lot of branches in the novice dungeon, Qin Zhen wouldn't have awakened while in the dungeon. Coupled with Qi An's power at that time, she retained the last trace of her soul and survived. down.
After clearing the system, she also fully understood what was happening in the system and her world. It's just that I have been locked up in one place, and I am the only conscious person. It is very lonely.
Qin Zhen waved to Lin You, and then sat on the stone stool in the pavilion, regardless of whether Lin You relaxed his guard or not. She started to tell. This was also the task given to her by the system. Of course, if the dungeon boss has a deep hatred for the player, it is not impossible to kill the player.
Anyway, the system doesn't care about personal grudges.
Naturally, Qin Zhen and Lin You have not reached that point yet, so she is very polite and considerate to Lin You who wants to liberate her in the future. As Qin Zhen told it, the truth of the system was slowly revealed in front of Lin You.
The malice in the Abyss has existed since the first living beings were created in all worlds. The Abyss stores these malices like a garbage recycling bin. At first, this kind of malice was very simple. The animal was unwilling to be eaten, or it was uncomfortable without food. But gradually, when intelligent creatures appeared, this maliciousness began to escalate.
It was not until humans became the current or future masters of all worlds that this malice became even worse, to the point that the abyss could no longer accommodate this malice, causing it to overflow.
The overflow of malice is random, along the cracks between worlds, and following the pull of human emotions in the world. Whenever a world is eroded by malice, it will be destroyed. It's unclear whether it is malice that destroys humans or humans' own negative emotions that destroy themselves. Anyway, when malice overflows, the world occupied by malice begins to slowly disappear.
Order quickly discovered this problem, and the system was created accordingly. But it is really very energy-consuming to clean up the ruins of a world filled with malice. Order is very calm and thinks that since the overflow of malice is caused by humans themselves, then humans themselves should solve this problem. Adhering to this concept, the system randomly pulled so-called players from the intact worlds that still existed.
You can say that this group of people are unlucky, you can say that they are the chosen ones, you can also complain, or you can lament. But for order and systems, it doesn’t matter whether you are innocent or not, as long as you are human. You can't expect humans to be able to tell which ant is good and which ant is bad. You can't expect systems and orders to be able to tell the good and evil of humans. They just need a cleaning tool.
Of course, it doesn't mean that once these players are pulled in, they can only work for the system until they die. If you can survive until you clear one of the five major dungeons, all the polluted and trapped souls in the dungeons you have experienced can be liberated with you. That's the only way to leave this game alive.
The word "leave alive" deeply attracted Lin You.
"Five major copies?"
This word was no longer unfamiliar to Lin You, but Qin Zhen smiled.
"This is still not possible for you now." Qin Zhen shook his head. "Although I don't want to hit you, I was very surprised to see that you are still alive. After a dungeon is cleared, the dungeon will be sealed and can be moved. There are only bosses in this dungeon, until the player who passes this dungeon has also cleared one of the five major dungeons.”
"One person can achieve the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. If it doesn't work, then my consciousness will return to a state of chaos, thinking about revenge, and the copy will be reopened. So now that I say you can't do it, it's not a blow to you, but that you are really too weak. ”
There is another thing Qin Zhen didn't say. If anyone hopes that Lin You can successfully pass the level, then besides herself, it is the bosses in the dungeon who need to be cleared by her. Because the interests are related, the honor and disgrace are shared.
"You mean, you can only be truly liberated if I clear the class dungeon?" Lin You said, "So what's your current state?"
In fact, Lin You really wanted to ask the five major dungeons and Qi An. Among the five major dungeons, Qi An seemed to be able to get the number right, as he had been talking about the second child. It was obvious that Qin Zhen felt that he was too ambitious, so Lin You didn't speak.
Qi An has been hiding in his body to avoid the system. If Lin You guessed correctly, this place should still be under the surveillance of the system, so it is better not to ask rashly. If there is really any problem, Lin You is inexplicably inclined to go back and ask Qi An.
After all, Qi An would not tell lies to deceive himself. If there was something that he couldn't say, Qi An would just keep silent. It was very straightforward.
"Yes, so I was really surprised to see you." Qin Zhen smiled, and she did not mention what she fed into Lin You's mouth at the end of the copy. Lin You didn't know why she didn't ask. Maybe she had something to hide
"Surprised? Because it's me?" Lin You almost thought of what Qin Zhen was surprised about.
"Well, it seems that you are somewhat self-aware." Qin Zhen now looks like an ordinary little girl, with fair skin and slender hands and feet. "You kept running away from the team and you possessed me twice. If I hadn't wanted to hear what nonsense you had to say, I wouldn't have let you go."
Actually, it's because Lin You's ostracized appearance looks a bit like herself, Qin Zhen thought. After all, Qin Zhen has a rather paranoid personality and is relatively withdrawn. After her parents died, she was even more reluctant to see people.
She doesn't want to be pitied!
Therefore, she was ostracized just like Lin You at that time.
"But, I did a good thing by being merciless at that time." Qin Zhen sighed, "Lin You, you have to work hard. Although I said this, it may be a bit..."
Lin You understood Qin Zhen's unfinished words. However, you still have to walk this road yourself, and it has nothing to do with other people.
