[Night Owl]: ... Don’t blame me, it was my hand that moved on its own. I really couldn’t hold it back.
[Xiaren]: Yes, just like someone shouting "Wo Wo Tou!! Four for one dollar.", you will definitely answer.
[Black and White]: Hey! !
[Night Owl]：…
[Lingxiaoyi]：…
[Black and White]: Getting back to the subject, the reason why the opponent appears in a different direction each time is because it is attracted by the pupil.
[Black and White]: Let me ask a question, when Hitomi is by your side, is the direction of each other's presence closer to you or farther away from you each time
[Night Owl]: This time, after taking Hitomi with me to dig a hole in the opponent's path, the opponent appeared on the other side... far away.
[Night Owl]: By the way, thank you for lending me the equipment and props... Are you not from the S-level platform? How come you are here
[Black and White]: Because you haven’t gone back, I’m very worried.
[Black and White]: Before, I was always waiting for you to go back.
[Black and White]: Without you and the school beauty to cook, we would have to eat takeout every day. It would be so miserable.
[Shrimp]: Yes, I can prove that none of us can cook, that’s really miserable Σ(▼□▼メ)
[Black and White]: I already have a rough idea. Come on, I'll go in first.
[Night Owl]：…
[Lingxiaoyi]：…
[Ling Xiaoyi]: Your pocket money for the next few months is gone.
… … … … … … … … … … …
Vaguely, there was a bitter wind blowing across my face.
Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and sat up from the ground.
The fire was gone, and a bit of fish belly white was exposed on the horizon. What came into view was a wilderness overgrown with weeds. A breeze in the morning blew by, bringing with it a bitter and strange smell.
This time the choice was made as a scavenger, and the time was three days before the city was destroyed.
"Have people in this world also developed a unique way of living..."
Bai Zhi sorted out the strange memories in his mind and raised his eyebrows slightly. He walked to the side and reached out to pick up a light yellow lump on the ground and look at it.
Hunters' ability to survive in the wilderness naturally relies on more than just their equipment and skilled wilderness survival skills.
The light yellow lumps scattered around are one of the research results of those in this world. These lumps can effectively expel monsters wandering nearby.
The composition of this light yellow lump is unknown. Hunters can exchange it at the city's city hall at a very low price. It can be regarded as a necessary material for hunters when traveling.
Since he chose to be a hunter, memories of why hunters died in large numbers automatically appeared in his mind.
—A layer of thick fog that suddenly appeared surrounded the wilderness and gradually approached the town.
At the beginning, the hunters did not take much precautions against these common morning fogs, so they suffered heavy losses.
Now, some hunters are exploring the circle formed by this thick fog, trying to find an escape exit that can lead to a safe escape. He is also one of these people.
However, it is worth mentioning that the boss of the Wild Wolf Gang and the players in the town center had already gone deep into the thick fog yesterday, and now they are probably in danger.
"I originally wanted to kill them secretly..."
Pouring his lips with some regret, Bai Zhi walked back to his campsite and climbed onto his motorcycle.
In the wilderness around the town, the safest place is naturally near the several business roads that have been opened up. However, there are still a lot of monsters in the wilderness, as well as more than a dozen identified areas with strange stories.
As long as you carefully avoid those monster areas, relying on the mobility of the motorcycle, the hunter's safety can still be guaranteed.
After a moment of thinking, Bai Zhi raised his head and glanced at the still early sky, and decided to drive towards the mist.
Risks and opportunities have always coexisted. Now that I have chosen the starting identity of a scavenger, I might be able to make some unexpected discoveries by taking a look at the edge area...
To be honest, Bai Zhi was still very interested in that huge black figure being dragged forward by thousands of chains.
But what's more interesting to him is why the other party targets Hitomi.
From what I heard from the night owl and the school belle, it was clear that the huge black figure wanted to kill Hitomi, and didn't even want to get close...
—This is very problematic.
Bai Zhi already had several vague conjectures in his mind, so what he had to do now was to verify these conjectures one by one.
After all the wrong answers are eliminated, no matter how incredible the remaining answer is, it is absolutely correct.
Volume One: The Gap between Virtuality and Reality: Chapter 614 Chapter 606: Light in the Dark
After driving along the route in his memory for more than half an hour, Bai Zhi saw the white dividing line.
It was as if half of the blackboard was covered with white chalk, and outside that dividing line, everything was filled with extremely thick white mist.
The height of the fog was about tens of meters high, equivalent to the height of a ten-story building, covering almost half of the sky. Along this white line, the fog extends infinitely to the left and right, and it is impossible to see the end at a glance.
- Frankly speaking, this scene looks quite spectacular.
Stopping about dozens of meters away from the edge of the fog, Bai Zhi came to the fog wall at close range.
A step away, the white mist continued to surge, but it never broke through that limit.
After a moment of thinking, Bai Zhi roughly understood the reason for the stagnation of the mist.
The wilderness is not a safe place. There are all kinds of bloodthirsty monsters, and there are also more than a dozen identified areas with strange stories. These fogs will not look at those things differently.
…is it gradually encroaching on the entire wilderness
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
According to the intelligence of the school belle and night owl, the entire wilderness is surrounded by this wall of fog, and in three days, the fog will spread to the city.
"Protective clothing, oxygen tank, we have to go to the garbage dump to look for Hitomi later..."
After standing there and pondering for a moment, Bai Zhi mentally planned his next actions.
But when he was about to turn around and leave, the fog in front of him suddenly surged up. A moment later, a man who looked extremely miserable stumbled out and fell in front of Bai Zhi. .
Stones, tree roots, grass, gravel... these things were densely integrated with his body, and the position of a pair of eyes was replaced by two stones that were fused with his eyes. The whole person's face looked quite... of terror.
"Retribution, these are retributions..."
Not noticing the existence of the white paper, the man who escaped from the fog with his last breath laughed miserably.
After groping with difficulty on his body for a while with his inhuman hands, the man threw a card out as if he was resentful, and then reached out and pulled a tab on his body.
"At the very least, don't turn into that horrible thing... In the end, it is human beings who destroy themselves..."
Along with the man's muttering, a burst of flames suddenly rose from his body, and within a moment, he was burned to ashes.
"..."
Squinting his eyes slightly, Bai Zhi bent down and picked up the card that fell in front of him.
From the outside, this card looks unremarkable. It looks like a pass card from somewhere.
"Mankind destroyed itself..."
Bai Zhi raised his head and glanced at the wall of fog in front of him. After a moment of pondering, Bai Zhi turned back to his motorcycle, then turned around and drove toward the town.
Some things may not seem as simple as they appear on the surface.
About an hour and a half later, Bai Zhi returned to town.
First of all, he first went to the doctor's house where he had last dungeon and took a look, but it was empty. From other people's mouths, he found out that a doctor who once lived here was in debt. Duo, had completely evaporated a few days ago.
"Character filling... Is this how this copy works?"
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi turned around and headed towards the Wild Wolf Gang.
The [Beat Doll] whose durability was exhausted has been repaired by him with game coins. Without the threat from distant attacks and cold shots from the dark, the so-called Wild Wolf Gang is just a bunch of ragtag people.
Although he hates darkness, it does not mean that he is willing to turn his head and pretend that there is no darkness.
This time there is no extra time limit, no one from the Wild Wolf Gang will be left behind.
"Crime must be punished and evil must be corrected."
Bai Zhi reloaded the magazine with a snap, and without even wanting to look at the dead-eyed hyena in front of him, Bai Zhi picked up the key from the ground beside him.
It lasted more than half an hour, and the entire Wild Wolf Gang's headquarters was now completely silent, with no survivors.
Picking up the key and opening the iron door, Bai Zhi stepped into the hell-like underground cell again.
Relying on the memory of his previous life, he walked to the place where he found Hitomi, but this time, there was not a girl with dead eyes sitting there.
On the side, there was a girl who had lost both hands and feet lying with only one breath left.
"If you want to save Hitomi, then just listen patiently to what I have to say."
Stopping about a few meters away from the other party, Bai Zhi spoke calmly.
"..."
He was answered with an unexpected silence.
However, Bai Zhi didn't care about this. Instead, he stood there and spoke slowly.
He didn't hide anything, and he even said everything that this place was just a constructed copy. It was not the first time he came here, this was his second time to act again.
That book devoured everyone in this city, so he was able to build this city again and again, and he was able to kill the hunting dogs for the second time, and slaughter the Wild Wolf Gang for the second time... But he died before that Where is the person who fell
"...I don't know what kind of existence you belong to now, but this copy is built with Tong as the core, and you should represent all the memories of you in Tong's heart."
Looking at the little figure lying on the ground not far away, Bai Zhi spoke sincerely.
"So, I want to ask you for help. I really want to save her. I have been lost again and again, and I have experienced the dark and desperate experience in these copies again and again. I have been in the darkness again and again. The sinking... this is so cruel.”
In this dungeon that was reopened again and again, how many times did Hitomi experience that kind of despair, and how many times did she die
Even without deliberately calculating, Bai Zhi could roughly guess that the accumulation of so many desperate experiences would really not completely collapse her spirit and self-will
—In these dungeons that were reopened one after another due to failure, Hitomi was not an NPC.
"..."
I don't know when, the wailing sounds around the underground cell stopped silently, and the entire underground cell was dead silent.
"...You can't save her."
After a long time, an obviously inhuman voice came from the mouth of the figure lying on the ground.
"There is no cure for those who are afraid of darkness and sink into darkness. There is only one thing you can do now, and that is to kill her."
"Really? But you don't understand humans at all."
After exhaling a little breath, Bai Zhi spoke calmly.
"Human beings will never sink because of fear of darkness, but will become more oriented to the light because of their understanding of darkness."
Volume One: The Gap between Virtual and Real: Chapter 615 Chapter 607: The Truth and Pupils of the Copy
Underground cell.
It was as if the whole world had been pressed to a stop button, and the surroundings were filled with unprecedented silence.
But in front of the white paper, the inexplicable being lying on the ground answered calmly in a strange tone.
"There is no cure for those who sink into darkness. Death is the only way back."
"Not negotiable?"
Looking at the existence on the ground in front of him, no matter what it was, it was definitely not Hitomi's dead friend, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Honestly, I think we should give it a try, what do you think?"
"Those who stay with darkness will surely fall into darkness."
The other person's words should be the same as before.
"Death is insignificant, but some things are far more terrible and terrifying than death."
"If that's the case, then there's nothing to talk about?"
Bai Zhi curled his lips and leaned against the wall with his arms folded.
