Bai Zhi smiled slightly and reached out to touch the other person's head.
"I'm far more curious about these things than you are... Why do you suddenly think of telling me this?"
“…because you’re exposed to it.”
He raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him. The expression on Qingyi's face seemed very complicated.
"Logically speaking, you shouldn't be exposed to these things at this level, whether it is the extremely terrifying existence of [Lord of Flesh] or [Doll Princess], or [Noah's Ark] drifting and escaping in various worlds..."
Raising her head and looking at Bai Zhi in front of her, she spoke seriously.
"It is very dangerous to come into contact with these things. You will die."
Good morning(づ●─● )づ
Volume 1: The gap between virtuality and reality: Chapter 331 Chapter 327 The so-called dependents
Shadow world.
"Uh... is it dangerous?"
After briefly recalling the things he had experienced before, Bai Zhi's face looked slightly strange.
He had seen the two existences [Doll Princess] and [Lord of Flesh and Blood] in Anna's memory void, but to be honest, he didn't really have any real feelings about these two things. At most, he had no real feelings about them. I just feel a little sorry for the destroyed world... and I really want to eat takoyaki.
Later, with great difficulty, I was finally able to see what the so-called [Lord of Flesh and Blood] was like. As a result, the opponent appeared in such a cool manner that those who chanted and prayed for his true name had to stare at him without saying anything, or the sky was full of them. The stars gathered into the pattern of eyes in the night sky, and the whole scene was filled with excitement.
—Then he turned around and ran away within a few seconds.
This is like a gang leader with tattoos on his face and neck, holding a machete in his hand, and behind him are hundreds of younger brothers, each holding a steel rod, machete, watermelon knife. Waiting for various murder weapons, walking through the streets and alleys, full of momentum.
Then one day, the heavily armed gang leader led people to fight. After being domineering and tyrannical all the way, causing trouble for everyone, he finally arrived at the place where the fight was scheduled. After taking one look at his opponent, he turned around and ran away, even missing one. Just one shoe... and his face disappeared in an instant.
Although Bai Zhi admitted that this kind of terrifying monster bred on the remains of a world is indeed very powerful, but for him who has seen the other party fleeing, he really has no real feelings at all.
…Do you really look that scary
The reason why he wanted to use that [nostalgic postcard] to write to the other party before was because he wanted to ask the other party why he ran away when he saw him, so as to answer a doubt in his heart.
Unfortunately, the postcard did not have a reply function, so he had no choice but to leave it alone. Although he was curious about exploring the possible secrets in himself, he had no intention of introducing a terrifying existence into this world.
"Yes, it's quite dangerous."
Qingyi nodded seriously.
"Humans are absolutely unable to fight against that kind of thing, unless they transcend humans... I'm a little worried about you."
"… ha?"
"In the [Noah's Ark] that appeared in this world before, you should have vaguely guessed what those ghost stories were longing for, right?"
While saying these words, the expression on Qingyi's face became more and more serious.
"[Source Coin], or [Source], is the most critical factor of everything and the core of a world. [Noah's Ark] represents the final origin of that world."
"Everyone has something like [Source] in their body, and the number of [Source] that players have is much more than that of ordinary people, and the strange stories are that they crave this kind of thing [Source] … So is this the main reason why players are more attracted to Kaitan?”
After a moment of thinking, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows in interest.
"The operation of [Noah's Ark] probably also requires the support of [Source], so it will charge a certain amount of Source coins from everyone who goes to the hotel to take refuge or live there. This is mutually beneficial to the world itself. Thing... What kind of thing is [Source]?"
"I don't know. I don't have access to this level at all. Unless I am the kind of store manager who has completely mastered [Noah's Ark], maybe I will know something. But one thing I can be sure of is that The amount of [Source Coin] in each person’s body does not actually represent strength, but represents value.”
He stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of Bai Zhi's clothes. Qing Yi looked very worried.
"There are two possibilities for that kind of instrument to explode. One is that the number of [Source Coins] in the measurer's body is too large and exceeds the upper limit, and it itself is priceless. The other is that there is no [Source Coin] in the measurer's body at all, and it itself belongs to Ranking among the top ghost stories.”
"Uh...then I am..."
After listening to Qing Yi's words, Bai Zhi's expression looked slightly strange.
"No matter which one of these two it is, it seems to be extremely bad, and you may be the third type."
Qingyi looked worried.
"Anna is a dependent of [Princess Doll] and possesses part of the authority of that terrifying existence. Your current situation is the same as Anna, and it may even be a little worse, because you may be the [Lord of Flesh] and the [Princess Doll] at the same time. Familiar, this is what caused the instrument to burst. And if this happens... "
"Why couldn't it be another option?"
Finally, he figured out the reason why the white-haired lolita in front of him was nervous. He rolled his eyes secretly in his heart, and Bai Zhi reached out to touch the other person's head in amusement.
"For example, I am actually the only chosen one among ten thousand, and I belong to the kind of existence with the highest value. Or maybe I am actually the top ghost talker, so that's why..."
"It is absolutely impossible to get the recognition of [World Contract] and [Noah's Ark] if you talk about ghosts."
She raised her head and glanced at him, Qingyi spoke seriously.
"Similarly, it is absolutely impossible for Gui Tan to become a player and be recognized by the system."
"Well... In this case, it seems that I am the chosen one."
Taking his hand away from the other person's head, Bai Zhi nodded seriously.
"The amount of [Source Coins] in my body is unimaginable. If I lose 100 million yuan in one minute, it would take 750 years to lose 1%. Since I am the chosen one, [Noah's Ark] automatically recognizes me as Lord, because I am the Chosen Son, I have been recognized by the [World Pact]."
"Can you listen carefully to what I have to say..."
The words of a certain white-haired loli seemed a little weak.
"It would be better just to be watched, but if you become the dependent of that kind of terrifying existence, it means that everything about you is in the hands of the other party. There is really no worse option than this, you understand Is this serious?"
"Wait, Anna is like this too?"
Suddenly thinking of something, Bai Zhi frowned slightly.
"Yes, that's right. This is what I have always wanted to find a chance to tell you alone."
A certain white-haired loli sighed in her mouth.
"I have heard Anna say those things. To be honest, her situation is far worse than I imagined. Even when she was only a few years old, she had a dream with the so-called [Doll Princess] A connection was formed between them, and they became each other's dependents in a daze... "
"What will happen if you become a dependent of that kind of thing?"
Bai Zhi frowned.
"What else does that mean? When you become a dependent of that terrifying existence, everything about you, including your body, soul, and even your will, is actually under the control of the other person."
Qingyi spoke quietly.
"Strictly speaking, dependent is not a good term. In the message left by my brother, this situation was explained in detail... It is best not to leak Anna's situation to anyone. If Anna is If the news that she is a descendant of [Princess Doll] is leaked, all players will come here to kill Anna, especially the [Night Watch] organization you mentioned."
"Because the existence of the dependents is actually equivalent to a positioning coordinate."
Volume 1: The gap between virtuality and reality: Chapter 332 Chapter 328: One comes to scare the other, two comes to scare the pair
The pale gray sky has no tone, and the earth is lifeless.
—This is a world that is completely dead in a fundamental sense.
In fact, when the players arrived in this world and transformed this town into a player trading plaza, it was not that the major official organizations did not send people to explore the world.
After all, under the premise that the ghost stories in this world are getting worse and worse, if there is a safe refuge, then the situation in the real world will be much better... But this is a completely dead world.
There is no exploration value and no resources exist. Instead, it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the gain outweighs the loss.
After that, the exploration plan and possible subsequent immigration plans came to an end.
At this moment, a conversation was going on on the balcony of a dilapidated building in the Shadow World.
"Positioning coordinates... They use this method to invade other worlds. Are there many dependents?"
After listening to Qingyi's words, Bai Zhi's brows suddenly furrowed even more tightly.
"Yes, there are so many that you can't count them, because this thing is just a consumable. But since most people can't bear that kind of attention, not many of them are actually displayed."
Lifting his head and looking into the distance, Qingyi sighed softly in his mouth.
"Family members also have levels. Like Anna, the level is already quite high. She even inherited part of the power and authority from the [Doll Princess]... But what's the use of that?"
Her tone was faint.
"That is, [Princess Doll] is now in a deep sleep. When the other party wakes up from its deep sleep, with the existence of Anna, a very high-level dependent, it can easily focus on the world. Wait. At that time, Anna's own will will also be affected by the other party... "
She did not continue speaking the next words, but the meaning she wanted to express was already obvious.
"So, we just need to kill that [Doll Princess], right?"
Bai Zhi reached out and touched his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"If we can snatch all the opponent's power and give it to Anna, then maybe it's still one... Well, what's wrong?"
"Did you really listen to me seriously!?"
Raising his head and glaring at Bai Zhi in front of him, Qingyi looked very angry for a while.
"That kind of terrifying existence is something that humans cannot fight against!! If you really receive their attention or become their dependent, with the help of [World Contract] and the suppression of the system itself, I have Grasp can help you get out of that state, but Anna..."
"Okay, let me confess, there is actually something I have hidden from you."
Interrupting the words of the white-haired lolita in front of him, Bai Zhi sighed slightly.
"I lied to you before when I said that I helped Anna cut off the [Lord of Flesh] and complained about it, but I used a prop found in the castle. The real situation is that after the other party glanced at me , and ran away immediately."
"… ah?"
The whole person stayed there completely. Listening to the words coming from Bai Zhi's mouth, Qingyi opened his mouth slightly dumbfounded.
"I'm not lying to you, it's true. You can ask Anna for confirmation."
Looking at the white-haired lolita in front of him, Bai Zhi smiled slightly.
"Honestly, no one would believe this kind of thing if I told it. At the same time, it was a bit too shocking, so I added a little bit of rhetoric, but that's the actual situation."
"Wait, wait... You mean, you scared away a terrifying existence born from the remains of the world?"
Looking at Bai Zhi in front of him, a certain white-haired loli had a look of suspicion on his face.
"[The Doll Princess] has been fully hatched and is in its final sleep, but the [Lord of Flesh and Blood] is still in the process of hatching, so its strength is weaker than the [Doll Princess]. If you use the power inside the castle and [Doll Princess]-related props can indeed cut off the gaze of the [Lord of Flesh and Blood], but you said you scared the other party away... You don't have a fever, right?"
"No... In short, it should be like this. After all, I didn't have time to do anything at the time. It only took a few seconds."
Seeing the worried look in his eyes, Bai Zhi's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
"As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. That's the truth. I don't know why the other party ran away... Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"
Somewhat dumbfounded, Bai Zhi reached out to pat the other person's hand that was lifting his clothes. Seeing the white-haired lolita in front of him staring at him with dissatisfaction because of his action, Bai Zhi looked slightly helpless.
"If you have something to say, please speak it carefully and don't touch me, okay? Although I did lie to you about this kind of thing before, but..."
"To be honest, are you the reincarnation of some god in your world?"
Looking up at him, Qingyi looked suspicious.
"Your world was very powerful in the past. If your essence is actually the reincarnation of a fallen god, then everything makes sense. Whether it is scaring away the [Lord of Flesh and Blood] that has not yet been fully hatched, ], or get the active recognition of [Noah's Ark], or the recognition of [World Contract] so easily, then all the questions I had before can be explained... Squat down a little. "
"Why do you say it's a god again... What's wrong?"
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Bai Zhi reluctantly obeyed and squatted down in front of the other party.
"I said I don't know what you were thinking, but in fact it's nothing...!?"
Before Bai Zhi could finish his sentence, Qingyi suddenly reached out and hugged his neck, burying her head between his neck, startling him.
"It's strange, I don't smell the divine scent on you... Could it be that you haven't awakened yet?"
Standing up straight again, Qingyi frowned slightly.
"But in this case, the [Lord of Flesh and Blood] shouldn't..."
"It's pointless to think so much, right? To be honest, I also want to find out these things..."
Bai Zhi pressed his neck with his hands quite uncomfortably, and looked angrily at the white-haired loli in front of him who just took advantage of him when he wasn't paying attention.
"My questions are put aside for now. The main focus of the problem now is Anna. Do you have any way to solve the hidden dangers in her?"
"It's up to you. Anyway, the [Lord of Flesh and Blood] was scared away by you. When [Princess Doll] comes over, can't you just scare him away again?"
With a slight snort, Qingyi, who became angry for no reason, turned his head to the side.
"[Princess Doll] has completed the final incubation stage and is currently in a deep sleep. I have asked Anna before that there are still about a few years until she wakes up... Anyway, it will be up to you then!! You go and do it Scare the other person away!!”
"...I didn't make you angry, did I?"
