"After today, the green mountains will not change and the green water will always flow. We will see you again in the future."
"… Where are you living right now?"
It was obvious that he heard the meaning of someone's words. After a moment of silence, the girl turned her head and looked forward again, and asked him very calmly.
"Give me your address."
"Room 1001, Building 2, Tuantou Garden, Tuantou Street."
Bai Zhi looked without thinking.
"Well, I'll pick you up later."
Silently remembering the address in her mind, the girl nodded slightly, and rarely opened her mouth to explain a few words.
"As a player, it's best to stay away from the general crowd. The Sword Gym is remote enough and there are many empty rooms. You can live there."
"You don't mean it, do you?"
Listening to the serious words coming from beside him, the corners of Bai Zhi's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
"To be honest, there doesn't seem to be much between us..."
Before Bai Zhi finished speaking, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and a brand new scene appeared in the empty void beneath his feet.
When they saw the scene under their feet, including the deceased Zero, they both couldn't help but froze there.
What does a world that has been completely destroyed by Kaitan look like? Now Bai Zhi saw it.
What a disgusting gesture that is...
Under the sky, there is no earth.
Mountains, rivers, vegetation, rivers, everything disappeared, and the entire earth was replaced by crawling crimson muscles.
These crimson muscles are layered and undulating. They are clearly blood-red tentacles that have been magnified countless times, forming a disgusting and huge pool of flesh. They adhere to the earth and are covered with it. The whole planet.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a bloated piece of meat wrapped around a planet.
Under the premise that the entire world is wrapped by these tentacles, the world has essentially been completely destroyed. I hope there are still humans who can survive in it? In the face of this despairing strange story, it is just a rather ridiculous statement.
And the more terrifying thing is not just that.
As Bai Zhi watched, part of the tentacles spontaneously separated from the huge mass of flesh, and then submerged into a gloomy cloud. Then the cloud disappeared in the sky and disappeared without a trace.
These dark cloud-like clouds are not just one or two, but thousands...
This is the true source of the so-called [alienation curse].
As if they were aware of their gazes, at a certain moment, hundreds of thousands of eyes suddenly opened on the surface of those dark red muscles, and their indifferent and cold gazes collectively looked towards him! ! !
Unconsciously, she let out a muffled groan in her mouth, and the deceased Ling closed her eyes fiercely, and at the same time, she pulled Bai Zhi hard with her hand. At the same time that she made a quick sound in her mouth, two lines of blood slowly flowed out of her. Water flowed from his eyes.
“Don’t look over there!!!”
"..."
He frowned slightly and glanced back at the deceased Ling. He looked at the skin that was rapidly bulging under his face as if something was about to burst out of his body. After thinking about it for a moment, Bai Zhi reached out and hugged him. In his arms.
"Don't move around, and don't actively think about it. These are just illusions from the past that exist in the spiritual world..."
Turning back and looking down, while saying these words, Bai Zi stretched out his hand and showed a big middle finger downward.
"Shit on you, Liang Feifan!!!"

The light and shadow flowed, and the terrifying world-destroying scene below quickly passed in front of Bai Zhi.
"...What was that just now?"
Sensing the change in her situation, the girl who leaned against Bai Zhi's chest and closed her eyes suddenly asked.
"The world completely occupied and destroyed by ghost stories is also the true origin of the so-called [Alienation Curse]. Who knows what the hell it is? Anyway, there should be no survivors in that world."
He shrugged, lowered his head and glanced at the girl in his arms. After seeing that the girl's condition had returned to normal and there were no tentacles growing out of his face or hands, Bai Zhi let go of his hand.
"The existences that awaken from ancient myths, the existences that crawl out of history, the existences that come from outside the world, the existences that materialize from fantasy... They should belong to the existences that come from outside the world."
"Will something like that come to our world?"
As if he didn't notice Bai Zhi's movements, as if he could find a sense of security in Bai Zhi's body, the deceased Ling still reached out to hug him and leaned his face against his chest.
Since she was a child, this is the first time she has done such an intimate thing to another person.
After the countless pairs of eyes looked towards her before, she suddenly felt a boundless malice coming towards her overwhelmingly like a raging tide.
… What kind of malice is that! !
Naked, cold, without any emotion, purely as if she were treating food, she seemed to have fallen into the boundless cold and dark sea... Just the moment the other party looked at her, her sanity dropped crazily. , the brain was stinging like a needle, and the flesh and blood under the skin was stirring, as if something was about to break out of the body.
If she had not chosen to close her eyes decisively, she felt that her will would be completely assimilated in the next second by the malice that was like the boundless sea...
What followed was a kind of sadness rising in my heart for no reason.
That kind of terrifying existence that has swallowed up and assimilated the entire world is just a drop in the ocean among the countless weird stories. A terrifying existence like that is just one of mankind's opponents.
What kind of terrifying existence are humans facing
But even if she reacted in time, her eyes felt stinging, and blood flowed out of her closed eyes. She would not be able to break free for a while. If it weren't for what she saw before, it was just Anna's spiritual world. If it were an illusory projection, I'm afraid the price she would have to pay was not just this.
He who looks into the abyss will stare back at him from the abyss.
… She finally understood the meaning of this sentence at this moment.
But when Bai Zhi hugged her into his arms, an aura that made her feel very peaceful enveloped her body. The boundless malice that originally enveloped her body dissipated, and she was completely isolated by that peaceful aura. outer.
This was a sense of security that she had never experienced before, making people unconsciously want to indulge in that quiet atmosphere.
"The words of the main body are not so easy to come, but the words of the sub-body have already invaded, such as the [alienation curse] that broke out in Anna's world, and the lead-gray dark cloud hiding thousands of blood-red tentacles..."
Bai Zhi kindly helped the other person stand up again. Looking at the blood stains on the other person's face, Bai Zhi took out a towel from his backpack and handed it over.
"How are you feeling now? Are your eyes okay?"
"... Just rest for a while."
After a moment of wordless silence, the deceased Ling wiped his face with a towel, and then turned his head rather stiffly.
"Why are you okay?"
"Me? Probably because my rationality is a billion points higher than yours."
Turning his head to look behind him, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly as he answered the other person's questions with ease.
"[Alienation Curse], [Doll Curse], what we just saw is the real core source of [Alienation Curse]. It comes from a world that was completely destroyed, and the mysterious car that traveled through the void before. The train… the secrets and mysteries are one after another, and the extra bonus this time is quite nice.”
"...Do you think there is a world that can fight against these terrifying beings?"
After a moment of silence, the deceased Zero suddenly asked.
"One world after another is invaded by monsters, and one world after another is destroyed. Under this desperate premise, does mankind really have a future? What kind of terrifying existence are we facing? ?”
"There must be."
Turning his head to look at the other party, Bai Zhi had a strange expression on his face.
"You are also a member of the Night Watch organization, right? Don't you know all about the records of the gods and Buddhas in history and legends? At least, our world has won once, but the weird stories are coming again. It’s just a comeback.”
"But now there are no gods in our world, only the broken inheritance they left behind. The night is long, and the remaining fire will be extinguished."
Probably because of the horrific scene he had seen before, the voice of the deceased Zero seemed a little deeper.
"Those who stare into the abyss, the abyss will stare back. If that kind of terrifying monster comes to our world, I can't find any way to defeat it... What are you doing?"
The girl suddenly raised her head and looked at him with tightly closed eyes.
“Oh, I’m giving my middle finger to the abyss right now.”
Bai Zhi answered quite simply.
“Those who gaze into the abyss will be gazed back by the abyss, but not by raising the middle finger.”
"..."
The corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly raised in a slight arc. After a moment of silence, the deceased Zero suddenly opened his mouth and extended an invitation to him.
"Bai Zhi, come and join the [Night Watch]. The night is long, and the remaining fire will be extinguished. We, the night watchmen, will wait for the dawn in the long night... I think this will also be Mr. Xu's wish."
"Uh... let's talk about this kind of thing later."
He didn't expect that the other party would suddenly say this. After being stunned for a moment, Bai Zhi answered perfunctorily.
"What you have to do now is to seize the time to restore your fighting strength. That guy from the March Clan must have been ahead of us. There will probably be a fierce battle later. At that time, it will all depend on you, but your eyes now..."
Looking at the other person's closed eyes, Bai Zhi frowned slightly.
"... Listening to the wind and arguing about position is the most basic practice."
She seemed slightly disappointed. After taking a moment to adjust her mentality, the girl answered.
"The temporary loss of vision is not a bad thing for me. Without the interference of the things I see in front of me, it allows me to become more focused... You can be my eyes."
"ha?"
The girl who raised her head and looked at him, closing her eyes tightly, repeated her words.
"You are my eyes."
Volume One: The Gap between Virtuality and Reality: Chapter 292 Chapter 288 The Real Core
To be honest, the only one in the team who can shoot has an eye problem, which is indeed a big trouble.
Regarding his own strength, Bai Zhi has a very clear positioning. His current strength is only reflected in his ability to save his life. Compared with other people, Bai Zhi is still far behind in other things.
After all, his current level is not even tenth level. Compared with other people in the team, the innate level gap is at least tenth level and above.
Although the level is not too large for a player's overall strength, the attribute bonuses brought by high levels are still very good. After all, I can't even compare to fireworks, wind and moon in terms of strength, and I am defeated by the opponent. Being forced to run around... It's so embarrassing.
This large-scale battle mission is his best opportunity to quickly increase his level.
So far, in the copy of [Anna's Gift], except for a few things that are still unclear for the time being, Bai Zhi has a general understanding of other situations, even if there are no players from another world in this copy. The difficulty of this dungeon is definitely top-notch.
This dungeon has Anna as its core, with [Alienation Curse] and [Doll Curse] as key elements.
If it weren't for the large amount of information provided to him in the notebook left by the previous investigator, he wouldn't be able to figure it out in a short time. The difficulty of investigating the rules in Rose Manor is not too high, but if it really If you want to go deep into the core and kill Anna, then it is indeed worthy of the four words "extreme danger" reminded in the system prompt.
If there wasn't a capable senior like Dead Zero in the team, he wouldn't have taken the risk and chosen to enter the core area...
"You really can't see anything now?"
Waving his hand in front of the other person's face, Bai Zhi reluctantly asked the girl in front of him who had her eyes closed tightly.
"Is it so exaggerated? That big piece of meat just glanced at you and you went blind?"
"It's not blind, it's just temporary damage. Even if it's just a past scene in the memory, it's not an existence we can face now."
Frowning slightly, the girl reached out and accurately grabbed the hand of someone who wanted to take the opportunity to do something strange on her head.
"The exaggeration is that you didn't do anything at all."
"How did you find where my hand was?"
Deliberately skipping that topic, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows.
"Perception, use your body to detect all changes around you."
Letting go of her hand, the girl spoke calmly.
"If you want to learn, I can teach you."
"Let's not mention this for now...can you open your eyes?"
Bai Zhi reached out and touched his chin, looking at the girl in front of him with a thoughtful look on his face.
"I have a piece of equipment that can provide a God's perspective. The so-called third-person perspective does not require looking through the eyes. I can temporarily lend you this piece of equipment. But the problem is that it is a pair of contact lenses. If you can't open your eyes, you can't be equipped."
"If the eyes can be opened, it means that the vision has been restored."
The girl had a calm look on her face.
"Don't worry about me, it's okay."
"No, I'm just worried that in our current state, it might be bad against that Sanzuki clan. He must be in front of us, but with you like this... forget it."
