"As for your previous question, I can give you an answer now. Our world is different from other worlds, because we belong to a world that is recovering again, so we are fully prepared for the attack of ghost stories, and can deal with this kind of thing in the early stage. The matter is completely concealed, so ordinary people have no idea about this kind of thing... But other worlds are different."
"In most worlds, the existence of ghost stories and players is made public, but in our world, the existence of ghost stories and players are hidden. Is this what it means?"
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows.
"Then the arrival of large-scale battle missions is notified a few days in advance. For people in other worlds, they can evacuate all ordinary people in that area beforehand, but here unless we completely announce the strange story and the existence of players, otherwise it would be impossible to find an excuse to evacuate all the millions of people in a city, right?"
"That's right."
A little surprised, Zhuge Yun raised his head and glanced at Bai Zhi, then nodded.
"So, under the premise of not affecting ordinary people and the normal operation of society as much as possible, the other world has appeared. But judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be hidden for long. It will be within a few months at most, until all countries are ready. After preparations are made, strange stories and player information will gradually be opened to ordinary people. However, the acquisition of player qualifications is too random, and it is difficult for us to find sufficient manpower."
"Well... Whether it is the construction of shelters or related defense lines, including the reconstruction of infrastructure, this requires a lot of manpower and players, but the probability of players appearing is not fixed, so you need [Noah's Ark] ]."
Bai Zhi reached out and touched his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Is this also the reason why those countries and organizations are trying to compete for [Noah's Ark]?"
"Absolutely. Anyway, during this period of time, I have been extremely busy with this matter."
Zhuge Yun sighed helplessly.
"So far, there are already established military personnel staying at [Noah's Ark]... But it is estimated that in the end, things like [Noah's Ark] will still have to be resolved at the negotiation table. In addition, this time Interference from the large-scale battle mission... Have you participated in this large-scale battle mission?"
"Why, didn't you participate in this large-scale battle mission?"
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"No, if I stay in those copies for a few days, Binhai City will be completely in chaos."
Zhuge Yun shook his head regretfully.
"In the points mall in large-scale campaign missions, there are many good things that are impossible to buy at ordinary times. Players who participate in it will suspend the system's mandatory missions. These are the hidden benefits. Especially in some In the dungeon, you can also get some unexpected and extraordinary gains. These extraordinary gains are... "
"Okay, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Don't you feel tired of beating around the bush all the time?"
Feeling a little unbearable, Bai Zhi reached out and pressed his forehead, and then started to speak.
"You came here specifically to answer my questions, right? What on earth do you want to see me for?"
"Ahem... If that's the case, then I'll just tell you."
After coughing a few times in embarrassment, Zhuge Yun spoke seriously.
"You obtained the [Heart of the Gloomy Ark] in the last copy. This thing should still be there with you, right? You have no use for it anyway, so why not sell it to us? Our relevant departments are willing to pay a high price. acquisition.”
"Li Tong told you?"
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't feel any surprise.
After all, the other party tried his best to bring the topic to this aspect before. Besides this thing, what else could there be
"You all seem to want this thing. What is the use of this thing?"
"Uh... This kind of thing will be difficult to explain clearly for a while, but you really don't need it... What do you think of two epic-level equipment or props?"
Reaching out and grabbing his hair, Zhuge Yun spoke tentatively.
"Really, this thing is just a collection if you keep it there. Only in our hands can it play a greater role."
"Since it sounds complicated, let's keep it short. If you don't even want to tell me this kind of information, then why are you talking about a deal?"
Bai Zhi curled his lips.
"I haven't asked you to settle the account for locking us up in such a dangerous game before. How about we calculate the compensation for mental damages first? There is still an inch of time and an inch of money. You have wasted me. So much time, how much money do you plan to use to compensate?"
"…seeds."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, Zhuge Yun finally sighed in his mouth.
"You should know the term "Dongtian Paradise", right?"
Volume One: The Gap between Virtuality and Reality: Chapter 541 Chapter 533: The So-called Cave Heaven and Paradise
Cave Heaven Paradise originally refers to the place where gods live in Taoism, but now generally refers to famous mountain resorts.
"... What kind of heart of the ark can be used to create a paradise in heaven?"
After briefly recalling the relevant entries in his mind, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at Zhuge Yun in front of him.
"Living in Noah's Ark can protect against ghost stories, so the so-called Cave Paradise can also protect against the invasion of ghost stories?"
"Well... although it sounds reasonable, it's actually exactly the opposite of what you think."
After being stunned for a moment, Zhuge Yun shook his head.
"The Heavenly Palace, which is now completely damaged, was once the top cave paradise. The original intention of establishing these cave paradises was to create a new world without the invasion of strange stories."
"But those things were destroyed...?"
Involuntarily thinking of the [Realm of Confusion] in the puzzle card world, Bai Zhi looked thoughtful.
"That's true, but not entirely."
Zhuge Yun sighed in his mouth.
"It would be okay if they were directly destroyed, but except for the top-level Cave Heaven Paradise, the remaining Cave Heaven Paradise have all turned into the most terrifying purgatory, with monsters appearing out of nowhere. Those places were completely occupied and they were killed without stopping."
"Including the orphanage where the director is?"
Suddenly thinking of something, Bai Zhi frowned slightly.
"There is an unsolvable weird story being suppressed at the orphanage. This is what you said to me, right?"
- Even though several months have passed since the original welfare home incident, to this day, the place is still heavily guarded by the army and no one is allowed to approach.
"In the orphanage, the entrance and exit of the Cave Heaven Paradise is suppressed... That is indeed an unsolvable weird story. At least until now, we have not been able to find a solution to the hidden dangers caused by these Cave Heaven Paradise."
Zhuge Yun showed a wry smile on his face.
"With the reappearance of ghost stories in this world, the monsters in the once-sealed Cave Heaven Paradise have all become active, so that we have to spend a lot of time and energy to suppress them. Once we want those Cave Heaven Paradise If all the ghosts inside escape, the consequences will be second only to the unsealing of the [Eighteen Levels of Hell]."
"...So the reason why you hurriedly carried the train overnight was because you had a problem in this area?"
Suddenly thinking of something, Bai Zhi couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the girl beside him.
He was saying that he felt strange. Judging from the murderous aura in the deceased Zero's father, which was so strong that it was almost condensed into substance, it was obvious that he had experienced hundreds of thousands of killings, but how could such a situation exist in the real world? Many monster-type ghost stories appear...
"Well, this is the real core secret."
The deceased Zero nodded calmly.
"No... you didn't say that before?"
Suddenly he came to his senses. Looking at the two people in front of him, Zhuge Yun couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth fiercely.
"Okay, having said all that, what is the relationship between the so-called Heart of the Ark and the Paradise of Cave Heaven?"
Lifting his chin, Bai Zhi looked at Zhuge Yun in front of him.
"What do you want that Ark Heart to do?"
"... Be prepared for a rainy day. In the future, the situation is destined to become more and more serious. The existence of players and strange stories will inevitably be announced. Before that time comes, we need to build many large-scale evacuation sites."
After a moment of silence, Zhuge Yun spoke.
"But you also know that things like ghost stories appear without any warning. Large evacuation sites are bound to bring a large number of people together, but if ghost stories break out intensively among the crowd, it will be a disaster. A bigger disaster is brewing.”
"Don't you have a formation?"
Bai Zhi raised his head and glanced at the elevator around him, slightly raising his eyebrows.
"Since the formation you purchased can isolate humans and players, wouldn't it be enough if you set up a large formation like this in every refuge point?"
"Brother, do you know how many people must be in each of the 72 large-scale evacuation sites currently planned to be built? Tens of millions of people!"
Looking at the person in front of him who seemed to be taking it for granted, Zhuge Yun looked slightly crazy.
"Not to mention the various rare and extraordinary materials required to arrange the formation, if I can complete the formation that protects tens of millions of people, I will just save the world alone, okay!? This thing It’s very time and energy consuming!!”
"Hmm... So why do you want the Heart of the Ark?"
"Use it as the core cornerstone of the formation!! If this thing is used as the core of the formation, I have the confidence to create a paradise like a cave!!"
Zhuge Yun spoke quickly.
"Things like the Heart of the Ark can already be regarded as the top batch of extraordinary materials. They are the kind that are almost impossible to come across. You can only rely on luck to see if you can find them in those mysterious shops. Buy it there... If you bring it to me, I am confident that in the large-scale evacuation site built in the future, there will never be such large-scale evil ghost stories!!"
“What happens if I don’t sell?”
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi asked.
"... Not for sale?"
"Well... I am the last seed of hope left behind by a world after death. I have other uses."
Bai Zhi nodded.
"It's a bit hard to talk about this kind of thing now. I will tell you if I have a chance in the future... maybe?"
"Then what else can you do? That's your thing, and we can't take it by force..."
After hearing Bai Zhi's straightforward answer, Zhuge Yun was immediately discouraged.
"Actually, using it as the core of the formation is a natural resource, but we can't think of any other ways to use it... If you have a better way to use it, then feel free. You are on our side anyway. People, don’t suffer.”
"No... you don't have any specific usage of this thing?"
After listening to Zhuge Yun's words, Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"With the inheritance of the Night Watch, and the fact that we had so many gods before us, just relying on the things they left behind, you should have quite a lot of information here, right?"
"... Let me ask you a question, where do those gods live?"
"The Paradise of Cave? Doesn't that mean... uh... I understand."
Bai Zhi nodded with a slightly subtle look on his face.
"Yes, we would have had more heritage. Those caves and paradises left behind are the best refuges. Although those gods said they left the world collectively for unknown reasons, they do have This world has left enough foundation to withstand ghost stories... It’s a pity.”
Zhuge Yun sighed with regret.
"The only one that is relatively well preserved is the [Eighteen Levels of Hell] as a sealed place, but this thing is also a super-large nuclear bomb that will detonate at some point... Our current situation is actually quite serious. .”
Volume One: The Gap between Virtuality and Reality: Chapter 542 Chapter 534: Beyond the Shura Field
The time is eleven o'clock in the morning.
When the elevator reached the bottom floor, Zhuge Yun's figure disappeared in front of them before the elevator door opened, just as silently as it came.
Perhaps because it was already noon, the shopping mall, which seemed quite deserted in the morning, was now full of people.
After stepping out of the elevator, Bai Zhi turned his head and glanced at the elevator behind him.
This trip out this morning was quite rewarding.
In the past, things that were like flowers in a moon mirror in water can finally be seen clearly now.
Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, Blessed Land and Cave Heaven.
Nowadays, under this superficial prosperity, there are countless undercurrents hidden.
The reason why the world today can still appear peaceful on the surface is, to a large extent, because there are no truly global monsters descending on this world. Once there is such a horror that affects the entire world, If strange rumors happen, then the country will not be able to hide such things under any circumstances.
… Advance preparation for large shelters? I’m talking about why I’ve been seeing so many news about infrastructure maniacs recently...
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi shook his head slightly.
He is not a savior, and he can't do much in the face of the general trend of the entire world.
After all, human power is limited, so he has to seize the time to build his own team... starting from the Shadow World.
"...I'm sorry, my father was not like this before."
After a moment of silence, the deceased Zero suddenly spoke softly.
"Huh? I told you, I don't care about little things like that."
Bai Zhi turned to look at the girl behind him and smiled slightly.
"To a certain extent, your father is at least a good father who will protect his daughter. After all, no parent would want to see his daughter being raped by someone from an orphanage..."
"… not like this."
