"Do you want to rescue your comrades?"
Seeing Bai Zhi's malicious eyes towards him and the deceased Ling who was starting to gather aura, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the Yue Yue clan took the initiative to speak.
"Don't look at it. Even if you reach the end here, it is still very difficult to successfully walk to the coffin and kill Anna, because in the process, some will spontaneously appear next to the coffin. Powerful monster... How about we cooperate?"
"Cooperation...are you serious?"
Looking at the March clan in front of him, Bai Zhi slightly raised his eyebrows.
"There are no absolute enemies, only eternal interests. If we really want to fight, your side will suffer more. I just put forward a suggestion that is most beneficial to you from your standpoint."
Yuyueshi spoke calmly.
"Due to the influence of ghost stories, our world needs a lot of resources, but in a world that has been eroded by ghost stories, it is not easy to find enough supplies. People are starving to death or freezing to death every day, and we have begun to reach a dead end. Therefore, wars of aggression against other worlds are necessary because we need to obtain enough supplies from your world... Players do not represent everything, those ordinary people are the most important thing for the inheritance of a civilization. I personally don't like it. There will be internal fighting, but I won’t be afraid if we actually fight. There is only one prerequisite for cooperation, which is to give us the exclusive drop reward for killing Anna.”
"If [Ye Yan's Breath] hadn't helped you find the hidden rules, would you have been able to do it so smoothly? Don't go too far."
Shaking his head, Bai Zhi gently snapped his fingers on his hand.
Along with the movement of his hand, a muffled sound suddenly sounded, and then, the hair between the mountains, seas, and heavens with a wary look suddenly exploded.
Although the power of this explosion was very small, it still blew up her hair.
"you… !?"
"Control your emotions, otherwise the thing that explodes next time will not just be her hair, but maybe her head or something."
Keeping the finger snapping motion, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at San Yunzhi who rarely showed other expressions in front of him.
"Or do you want to see your sister's body suddenly explode?"
"… when?"
After roughly combing her hair, Shan Hai Tian Di raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly.
"When I saved you before. This is my seventh sense. Any place where my body comes into contact will turn into a bomb for me to control. It will last for one day."
Shrugging, Bai Zhi answered nonchalantly.
"In other words, you are now a bomb controlled by me. The one just now was just a warning. Do you want to try again?"
-Tear off a small piece of toilet paper and stick it in the other person's hair with glue. This is a very useful method.
The toilet paper mine is actually quite useful at certain times, but unfortunately its lethality is too low, and it is also a consumable. Currently, Bai Zhi only has less than 1/4 roll of toilet paper in his hands.
"You can't blow me up."
Mountain, sea, heaven and earth spoke in a cold voice.
"I'm just giving you a small lesson, and a little demonstration of my strength and back-up. If we really have to fight, are you so sure that you will win? Don't underestimate others."
Pouting his lips, Bai Zhi retracted his hand.
"Cooperation is possible, but our side will take the lead. If we don't agree, we will start working. Who is afraid of whom?"
"...Yes, but can you break through the blockade?"
After a moment of silence, looking at the girl who had her eyes closed with a vague sense of life crisis, and considering the black and white in front of him that he could never see through, Yue Yue finally spoke and made a concession.
"To go through this distance to the coffin and kill Anna, you need more than just..."
"You just need to watch from the sidelines. If you make the slightest move, I will not hesitate to ask the deceased Zero to chop you with a knife, and then let your sister explode. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."
Bai Zhi waved his hand and directly interrupted the other party's words. Without any intention of talking nonsense, Bai Zhi walked straight towards the crystal coffin.
"..."
Except for the deceased Ling who could not be seen for the time being, the Yue Yue clan and Shanhai Tiandi all turned their attention to Bai Zhi in unison.
It has to be said that the senior investigator Ye Yanzhi's Breath is still very strong. After all, he is a fierce man who has survived several unsolvable weird stories. However, he consumed too much in the early stage. When passing through that passage Didn't hold on.
It takes half a mile to travel a hundred miles, and the final journey is not that easy to pass. Although she is the only person between mountains, seas, heavens and earth who has reached this final area before, she has no way to walk to the crystal coffin.
And now in her sight, when Bai Zhi walked within about 100 meters of the coffin, a terrifying mutation occurred on the blank ground, and the blank ground quickly turned into a mud pool of flesh and blood. Dozens of thick blood-red tentacles grew out of the ground and rushed towards Bai Zhi like lightning.
But in the next second, when those tentacles were about to touch Bai Zhi, they all shattered in mid-air, turning into bright roses and falling on his hands.
Green grass quickly replaced the twisted flesh. Flowers of various colors were blooming in the grass. Butterflies were flying in the grass. A red carpet emerged from Bai Zhi's feet and spread straight in front of the crystal coffin.
March family: "..."
Between mountains, sea, heaven and earth: "..."
… … … … …
At the same time, in the first level of dreamland.
The huge ragdoll cat stayed quietly by Anna's side, looking at the writing on the card in front of her in trance, and Anna spoke softly.
"Are you really going to be my prince..."
Volume One: The Gap between Virtuality and Reality: Chapter 297 Chapter 293 [Lord of Flesh and Blood]
Without any hindrance, Bai Zhi walked straight to the coffin with the bouquet of roses in his hands.
But when he looked inside the coffin, it was empty. A delicate golden dagger was quietly placed in the center of the coffin.
After a moment of silence, Bai Zhi leaned over and picked up the dagger. The moment his fingers touched the golden dagger, everything around him quickly receded like a speeding phantom.
… Time seems to have jumped into a thousand years at this moment.
When Bai Zhi raised his head again, he found that he was already in a rather dilapidated old castle.
The sky was blood red, revealing a disturbing and ominous state. There were broken walls everywhere, the original marble floor was broken into pieces, and the weeds among the ruins had grown to more than half a person's height. , the dark places are already covered with moss.
"this place… "
Looking at the golden dagger in his hand, Bai Zhi looked around slightly.
Although the surroundings were full of broken walls, based on the general structure, he still recognized that he was in the hall of the castle in the center of Rose Manor. In other words, he finally broke away from Anna's spiritual world. And several layers of dreams constructed by herself arrived in the real world.
"This is the final test for His Royal Highness~"
Faint white light spots gathered together, condensing into Anna's phantom image in front of Bai Zhi, with long, silky golden hair reaching her waist, and a white crown on her head, which matched the white dress on her body.
"test?"
Bai Zhi glanced at the dagger in his hand.
"Yes, the content of the test is that His Royal Highness must reach the top floor and find me within the specified time."
Holding out a finger in front of her, Anna looked serious.
"In this place, no ability can be used. Your Highness can only move forward with your feet. Of course, if you feel uncomfortable, your Highness can withdraw at any time, and it will still be the same..."
"Climb the stairs, right? Got it."
Bai Zhi nodded clearly and walked straight towards the broken spiral staircase.
Although the ability cannot be used, the body's own attributes are real. Although the path up the stairs seems to be broken, it is not that difficult to climb up...
"Wait, wait a minute, your highness, don't you feel anything abnormal in your body?"
It seemed that she had no idea that someone could move so well. Looking at Bai Zhi who was preparing to climb the stairs without any hindrance, Anna quickly flew to Bai Zhi and faced him after being stunned. he asked.
"Abnormal? What abnormality?"
While thinking about the way up in his mind, Bai Zhi asked Anna strangely.
"Just, just... headache, difficulty moving, etc. Don't you, Your Highness, have any?"
Anna's words were full of worry.
"If His Highness the Prince feels unwell, just bring it up directly. There is no need to force yourself."
"Huh? Has anyone else been here before?"
Inserting the dagger in his hand into the wall to stabilize his body, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly while climbing up the stairs.
"Yes, but they are all other people, not my Prince, so no one can reach the end."
After a moment of hesitation, Anna nodded.
"Then it's over? They're not, but I am."
Using his arms to climb up to the second floor, Bai Zhi shrugged.
"Isn't it said in fairy tales? When the princess is in danger, many people want to run to save the princess, but in the end only the prince can succeed."
"Yeah… "
After a moment of absence, Anna fell into a long silence as she looked at Bai Zhi in front of her who was climbing towards the top floor.
… … … … … … … … … …
With attributes that were close to human limits, Bai Zhi reached the top floor of the castle about half an hour later.
The sky was blood red, and in the center of the top floor, a small mummy was tightly tied up with heavy iron chains.
"It's ugly, isn't it?"
Anna's voice sounded faintly behind him.
"You have been able to come all the way here safely, maybe you are really my prince. So, your prince, can you do one last thing for me?"
"What's up?"
Bai Zhi turned his head and looked at the other party.
"Insert the dagger in your hand into the head of that ugly mummy over there."
Looking directly into his eyes, Ana spoke seriously.
"I've had enough of this kind of life. I want to ask His Highness the Prince to help me escape. I want to completely immerse myself in the dream I created and never wake up again, but I can't do it. I can't even do it at all. Understand what is happening to me..."
A trace of confusion flashed across Anna's eyes.
"Sometimes I will fall into chaos, and sometimes I will wake up. When I am in chaos, I will feel pain, and when I am awake, it will be even more painful... I want to be able to act with dignity as a human being while I still retain my consciousness as a human being. Celebrities die as human beings rather than turning into disgusting monsters later on."
Meeting his gaze, she spoke word by word.
"Your Highness, please, please kill me."
"...Do you want to die?"
After staring at the other person for a moment, Bai Zhi asked.
"Your Highness, do you think I am alive now? No, I am just moving."
Looking up at the blood-red sky, Anna's words were full of confusion.
"I don't know why my father and mother did this, but I can't even ask them for it, because they, like those in the castle, are all dead... When I wake up, here at Rose Manor There will no longer be any living people.”
"Later, some people entered my manor one after another. From their mouths, I learned that my country had been destroyed, and even the whole world was quickly heading towards destruction. I wanted to know what happened. Things, I want to know why everything has changed so much, but I simply can't get out of this manor... "
Anna smiled gently on her face.
"Actually, I should have understood a long time ago that I am no longer a princess because I have turned into a monster. The prince is there to save the princess, not the monster. You are my prince, but I am not you The princess."
"So you still want to survive, right?"
Smiling, Bai Zhi casually threw the golden dagger in his hand to the ground under Anna's stunned gaze.
"Tell me, how can you get out of here?"
"It's impossible, there is absolutely no one..."
"You just have to tell me."
Bai Zhi interrupted the other party's words.
"Did you read that note? Your willingness to appear here means that you believe the words on that note. So you just need to tell me what you know, and then believe me like before. "
“…cut off contact.”
After a moment of silence, Anna spoke softly.
"As long as I can cut off the connection with that monster, I can leave, but this is something no one can do."
"Which one? The flesh and blood monster or the giant doll?"
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"...The first one is that it is not a glimpse inherited from the curse, but actually comes from the other person's gaze. As long as I can cut off its gaze on me... This is absolutely impossible for humans to do. matter."
"Just cut off the gaze, right?"
