"Later? Then one day, the system suddenly appeared out of nowhere. With the help of the system, it took us a long time to gain a firm foothold here... "
When he said this, the old man showed a wry smile.
"People like us can only be considered deserters at best. We don't even have the courage to fight those things."
"So you don't know the origin of the system..."
Bai Zhi reached out and touched his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"So what about the world guardian named Lan? What's going on with him?"
"They may have different ideas. After all, he has always wanted to go back for revenge over the years..."
The expression on his face showed a slightly complicated look, and the old man let out a long sigh.
"The disaster came suddenly... No, it must have been planned for a long time. Countless worlds were polluted and corrupted at the same time. His former companions were affected by it and transformed into unspeakable monsters. His wife and others were also affected He used his life to open an escape path for us to this place of death... He always wanted to go back."
"Is it dangerous?"
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"After you heard that he went out earlier, your expression seemed to become very strange."
"Do you know why we have been afraid to leave the Tomb of the World for so long?"
After picking up the tea cup in front of him and taking a sip, the old man sighed.
"For those unexplainable beings, we, the guardians of the world, have a fatal attraction for them. This is no longer our era. Our power and authority have been severely lost. As long as we are exposed even slightly outside, the consequences will be It’s unimaginable… He went out and never thought about coming back.”
"So, what have you World Guardians been doing in the [World Tomb] for such a long time?"
As he spoke, Bai Zhi, who happened to feel a little thirsty, also picked up the teacup in front of him and took a big sip.
The tea tastes a bit bitter, but it feels good.
"At the beginning, we wanted to find the "Laplace Demon" in the [Tomb of the World], but later after the system appeared, we established a place like a transit place and began to provide services for those who came to The players here provide a service.”
The old man showed a wry smile on his face.
"The maintenance of this kind of place is inseparable from us, otherwise it will not be long before it is swallowed up by the death aura existing in the Tomb of the World. This consumes a lot of energy and resources, otherwise we will not just Nine such places have been established.”
"Well... I met someone named Yu Xing before. You should know him, right?"
After thinking for a while, Bai Zhi changed the topic.
"Can you tell me what his identity is? There is a cooperation between me and him, but I am a little worried about his identity."
"..."
This time the old man did not choose to reply.
"Okay, even if you don't tell me, I can probably guess a little bit. Anyway, he can't be an ordinary aboriginal. There are only a few suitable options."
Bai Zhi stretched slightly and tapped the table with his fingers.
"Okay, I've finished asking my questions, you can ask yours now."
"...Why does Lan suddenly want to leave the Tomb of the World?"
After a moment of silence, the old man raised his head and looked at him.
"Although he has always wanted to leave, he doesn't seem like someone who would do something that he was not absolutely sure about. There must be some reason behind it."
"Well, this kind of thing..."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi repeated what he had said to the young man before.
Frankly speaking, he was skeptical about whether the young man could rescue Xiao Xiaobai from the restaurant, especially under the premise that once the other party was exposed, he would be ambushed from all sides.
The water in that restaurant is quite deep.
"...She's still alive?"
After listening to Bai Zhi's words, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up slightly.
"I see. If this is the news, then..."
"What? Is she famous?"
Seeing the rare gaffe of the old man in front of him, Bai Zhi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
-Xiao Xiaobai's reputation among the world's guardians seems to be far beyond his imagination.
"Of course, you are not from that era, so you may not know that she once..."
The old man's slightly excited words were just halfway through when he suddenly got stuck.
"What happened? Is this also a secret?"
Looking at the old man in front of him, Bai Zhi asked somewhat inexplicably.
"...I can't remember."
The old man sat back on the chair again with a slight dejection.
"What was eaten was not only her name, but also her past... I don't have much memory left of her."
"Can something like this even be eaten... How much do you remember about her?"
Bai Zhi frowned slightly.
"Well... she is very beautiful. We often go to her restaurant as a group to eat... "
After a moment of thinking, the old man spoke with some hesitation.
"Lao Se Pi."
After hearing the other party's words, Bai Zhi's complexion suddenly darkened.
"My fair lady, do you understand that a gentleman likes you?"
Then after listening to Bai Zhi's words, the old man's face also darkened.
"Don't look at how old I am now. I was much more handsome than you in the past!! If I hadn't stayed in this hellish place for a long time and worked too hard, do you think I would have aged so fast!?"
Bai Zhi glanced at the other person's face and responded with a standard sneer.
"hehe."
Old man: "..."
Volume 2 The Miracle of Micro-Probability: Chapter 1088 Chapter 174 Void Creatures
In the secluded tea room, the fragrance of tea lingers.
"...Forget it, I won't argue with you kid."
After staring in silence for a moment at the person in front of him who barely had the word handsome written on his face, he waved his hand, picked up the teapot on the tea table and poured himself a cup of tea again.
"Since she is still alive, we must rescue her no matter what. We have to prepare for this kind of thing in advance... By the way, how did you get that thing from that world?"
As if something suddenly occurred to him, the old man raised his head and looked towards Bai Zhi.
"In that world, there are terrible things. How did you survive from that place?"
"Scary? What do you mean?"
Thinking of the nine possible worm eggs locked in the temple's breeding box, Bai Zhi slightly raised his eyebrows.
"have no idea."
The old man shook his head simply.
"We can only vaguely feel that there is a great terror there, and we usually don't even dare to get close."
"Yeah, you don't even know how I know?"
Pouting his lips, Bai Zhi took out the [Safe House] from his backpack and placed it on the table, then simply changed the topic.
"I think 1,000 source coins is a bit too little. Can you add a little more?"
Although the [Safe House] is easy to use, the sleeping mimic insects in it will wake up within a day or two. As there is no way to repair [the breeding box] for the time being, this thing is equivalent to a time bomb.
In the past, Bai Zhi had personally experienced the mimicry ability of the [Safe House]. That level of mimicry was simply terrifying.
It can be expected that once this thing wakes up, he will have no chance of finding it. Coupled with the unpreventable means of parasitizing people's minds, once this thing is given time to develop, it will not be a problem to destroy a world.
He was incapable of handling this thing. The final result would be to either sell it to the system or to Mr. You can also strive for a little more.
Although the exchange rate between source currency and game currency is 1:100, source currency can be converted into game currency at any time, and game currency may not necessarily be converted into source currency at any time.
"1,000 source coins is already the highest price."
Glancing at the safe house on the table, the old man shook his head.
"Although this thing is almost extinct now, it has degraded a lot, and it takes a lot of effort to cultivate it again. My price is very fair, even if you sell it to the system for recycling, It should be about the same price.”
"What, was there a lot of this stuff before?"
After listening to the other party's words, Bai Zhi was slightly surprised.
"What do you think it is? A strange story?"
The old man laughed at this time.
"In the past, what did you think we, the guardians of the world, did? We protected the world, what did you think we were preventing?"
"In other words, at that time, your enemies were these things?"
Bai Zhi pointed to the safe house on the table.
"It can't be said to be enemies. It should be regarded as similar to the relationship between humans and wild beasts. In the past, they had a collective name called void creatures."
The old man smiled slightly.
"These void creatures have all kinds of strange abilities. Some are docile, some are cruel, some are delicious, and some form their own tribe... Although there are occasional conflicts, most of the time, we are all in love with each other. It’s a state of affairs where water in a well does not interfere with water in the river.”
"Is the void creature... very strong?"
Unconsciously, Bai Zhi suddenly thought of the huge eye he saw opening on the moon when he had just boarded the train to the Tomb of the World.
Not only that, but what about the possibility of worms... void creatures
"Of course we are strong. We are evenly matched with each other, but occasionally there will be cooperation."
However, he didn't notice anything strange about Bai Zhi. The old man picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of tea.
"It's just that compared to us, the guardians of the world, those void creatures are more susceptible to pollution. We hurriedly escaped into the Tomb of the World shortly after the disaster, so I don't know what their current situation is..."
Putting the teacup in his hand back on the table, the old man continued to speak.
"Some of the stronger ethnic groups may still be able to survive now, but some of the weaker ones have probably been completely exterminated or transformed by pollution. A group like [Mimetic Insects], although they barely managed to escape into [ It has survived the Tomb of the World, but its own degradation is also quite serious."
"What about the ancient gods? Are they also classified as void creatures?"
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi asked.
He has only come into contact with the existence of the Ancient God once so far.
A broken finger can activate a world to that extent. It is difficult to imagine what kind of terrifying power the real living ancient god has.
"Ancient God? What is that?"
The old man was slightly stunned.
"Hmm... Then do you know the evil god?"
"Evil God? What is it?"
"...It's nothing. If you want relevant information in this regard, I can talk to you later. Now let's settle the price issue first."
Secretly rolling his eyes at the guy in front of him who had been out of touch with the times for so long, Bai Zhi tapped the table slightly with his knuckles.
"I think 1,000 source coins is still a bit too little. Can you add a little more if appropriate?"
"That's still less? Then what price do you expect?"
The old man looked up at him.
"Uh... 1 million source coins?"
Old man: "..."
"Okay, 1,000 is 1,000."
Seeing the expression on the other person's face, Bai Zhi waved his hand with regret.
