"Of course, this is a legacy left after the entire world was destroyed. It was originally prepared for me or my brother... now it's easier for you."
After sitting down on the sofa, the white-haired Loli seemed inexplicably jealous in her words.
"If that's the case, then why don't you use it?"
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows as he pulled away the tab of the herbal tea and took a sip.
"Or are you saying you can't use it?"
"It can't be used. We don't meet the conditions."
The white-haired loli had a depressed look on her face.
"Human beings cannot bear the huge load brought by that land deed, but only humans can get the recognition of that land deed. This is an endless cycle... So how did you get the recognition of that land deed?"
"Maybe it's a character issue."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi nodded.
"So it's a gadget that you can't use. Why do you want to take it back over and over again?"
"...This is none of your business."
After a moment of silence, the white-haired Loli turned her head.
"I can tell you how to use the land deed, and I will provide you with the greatest help in the future, but I need you to promise me one... no, two conditions."
"What conditions?"
"First, I want you to help me get rid of my identity as a weirdo at some point in the future. I don't want to become this weird existence forever."
Looking up at him, the white-haired Loli spoke seriously.
"Okay. But you have to tell me how you became a weirdo."
His eyes flickered for a moment, and Bai Zhi nodded.
"Experiment... the final experiment."
It seemed that after a long struggle in her heart, the white-haired Loli finally spoke.
"experiment?"
"That's right, a forbidden experiment in order to preserve the last spark of fire."
The white-haired loli spoke softly.
"At that time, my world was basically on the verge of destruction, and large numbers of people died every day. In order to retain the last fire, we started an experiment called Taboo—actively transforming ourselves to preserve our own sanity. Weird stories."
"I remember you said before that after becoming a monster, your self-awareness will gradually disappear and become corrupted? What about you?"
“… I am the most perfect guinea pig of them all.”
The white-haired loli had an expressionless face.
"Don't keep asking. I won't say more about things like this. Everyone has their own secrets. Do you dare to say that you don't keep any secrets yourself?"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to get to the bottom of it."
Bai Zhi glanced at the other person thoughtfully and shrugged.
"I agreed to the first condition, but what about the second condition?"
"The second condition... I want you to find out the truth of everything."
Taking a deep breath, the white-haired Loli spoke solemnly.
"Why do those strange stories appear? What is the reason for their appearance? What is the nature of the system? Why do players and chosen ones appear? Why do they want to destroy my world? Why do they also appear in this world? The same situation as my world?… I want to know the truth about everything.”
"...You really think highly of me."
After staring at the other person for a moment, Bai Zhi shook his head slightly.
"Are you so sure that I can survive to the end? What if I die halfway?"
(Dead? If you die, I will just get the land deed back...)
- A certain loli whispered in her heart.
"Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by heaven, isn't it? You have to take a gamble anyway. After all, the land deed is in your hands and you have used it. What can I do?"
The white-haired loli spoke dryly.
"So we'd better set off and go there quickly. No matter what, we must enhance your life-saving ability..."
"Don't think too much. Go to bed early. Look at what time it is now. If you're not sleepy, I'm."
Pouring his lips, Bai Zhi placed the empty herbal tea can on the coffee table, stood up and walked towards his bedroom.
"We have classes tomorrow morning, so let's wait until tomorrow to talk about things like that... By the way, do you need to sleep?"
"I'm no longer human, so how can I still need to sleep? Even if I want to, I can't sleep. I usually stay alone in the library reading at this time."
The white-haired loli shook her head.
"Do you have any books to read here?"
"Book?"
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi placed a book of advanced mathematics in front of the other party, and placed several exercise books on the coffee table. His words were filled with joy.
"Exactly. I almost forgot if you didn't say anything... Since you don't have to sleep at night, please help me with my homework. I haven't even finished my homework yet. Thank you!!"
White-haired loli: "???"
Volume One: The Gap between Virtuality and Reality: Chapter 130 Chapter 128 [Contract of the World]
Lost world.
The sky here was finally shrouded by thick black clouds. There were no plants growing, and there was no life. It was desolate. The only thing that added a bit of life to this lost world was the one in the center of the town. There are crowds of people setting up stalls in the huge square.
Although it is said that each player can only stay in this world for one hour a day at most before having to return, but because players look at the base of the entire world, this place is always full.
After exiting the square and stepping into the street, he stopped in an abandoned courtyard. Bai Zhi turned his head and asked the white-haired loli who had been silent from the beginning.
"Was this your world once?"
"... It used to be, but now the world is completely dead."
Raising her head and looking at the sky in ecstasy, the white-haired Loli answered.
"In the entire world, you can't find any living beings, let alone plants. If our world hadn't reached a contract with the system in the end, I'm afraid this world would have completely fallen into the abyss of death. "
"The contract... is that why you want to find out what the system is like?"
Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Who doesn't want to know? After all, I have lost everything, family, friends, brother... Now I have nothing."
The white-haired loli smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Take out the land deed. After helping you catalyze that skill, there should be one Shadow Crystal left. We can directly reach the center of this town."
"Uh... I've been wanting to ask for a long time, what exactly is [Shadow Crystal]?"
Bai Zhi turned his head and looked at the loli next to him.
"A crystal of special power. You can also think of it as a spiritual stone or something like that. Most of the functions of that land deed must be activated through the [Crystal of Shadow]."
The white-haired loli answered patiently.
"Theoretically, you can become the main controller of this town through the land deed by consuming [Shadow Crystal]. For example, the auction house opened in the center of the town actually belongs to us. We use this The world has invested in it.”
"Oh, that's gone."
Bai Zhi spread his hands.
"What's gone?"
The white-haired loli looks a little strange.
"Didn't your imperial brother kidnap a large number of my classmates here before? Then I made a special trip here to rescue them, and then consumed the last [Shadow Crystal]."
Bai Zhi shrugged indifferently.
"Do you have any more? If you have one, lend me one."
"..."
… … … … … … … … … … …
The auction house located in the center of the town may be the only normal and bright building in this town. At the auction house, players from all over the world will gather here.
In the terms of online games, the auction house is equivalent to the birth point or main city of all players in this world.
When the player level reaches LV 5 and the auction house function is enabled, just like the ten items that are refreshed every month in each player's system mall will have a fixed attribute point redemption function, the top corner of the system auction house will also It will definitely come with a [passport] worth a few game coins to get here.
In fact, this is not the so-called auction house, because the system does not explain this. It is just that the players who opened the server started offline transactions here for their own sake, so this led to the automatic entry of the system's auction house function. .
In desperation, the stalls in the Players Plaza appeared. For example, the Players Plaza was opened by the first players who opened the server.
The destination of Bai Zhi and the others is the underground of this auction house.
"No one else can get in here. It is also the last escape route for the surviving humans in this town or this world."
While walking through the long underground passage, the white-haired Loli spoke quietly.
"At the same time, this place contains the last legacy of a civilization and even a world."
There seems to be special luminous ore installed above the passage. Even though I don't know how many years have passed here, everything in the entire passage is clearly visible.
After walking along the semi-inclined passage that was obviously going downward for nearly half an hour, and after making a few turns back and forth in the middle, Bai Zhi came to a huge underground hall. At a glance, it looked like It is as big as a dozen football fields, and there is a high platform in the center of the hall.
What is shocking is that there is a deep pit to the east of this underground hall, and the pit is full of bones.
Here, there are still some traces of life left.
"At that time, the situation had evolved to the worst, so humans hid underground to survive. At that time, there were a lot of people crowded here."
Looking at the hall in front of her, the white-haired Loli whispered in her mouth.
"But under the premise that all the plants in the world have stopped growing, the food problem has become the most important issue. There are no bugs growing in the ground, and staying here is just waiting to die. But luckily , that disgusting situation of cannibalism did not happen, because before that happened, the strange stories invaded here... "
"Lucky? Or lucky, because before they died, they at least retained their dignity as human beings."
Turning his head to look at the white-haired loli, Bai Zhi shook his head slightly.
"There is no need to worry about this kind of thing. Being able to die as a human being is the greatest happiness."
"Concerned? Maybe..."
With a look on her face that was either mocking or self-deprecating, the white-haired loli walked towards the platform in the middle.
"This platform was built after everyone here died. Seven teleportation arrays are engraved on it, leading to seven sealed underground warehouses... Take out the land deed, we are going to the third A transfer point."
"Established after everyone is dead..."
Looking thoughtfully at the pit of bones, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't say anything more and took out the permanent land deed to the Kingdom of Shadows from his backpack.
After he took out the land deed, pulled by some inexplicable force, the land deed automatically floated over the platform. As the writing on the land deed disappeared bit by bit, several brand-new Golden writing emerged.
