The gloomy jungle now has turned back into the ruins of a dilapidated town a hundred years ago. He Qin pulled Wen Zheliu, and the two of them ran away among the broken walls. Behind them were Jenny's crazy roars and the crushed torso. The rush of gravel and bushes.
Wen Zheliu said loudly: "This is not right. Unless we made a mistake somewhere, there is no way we will fail to meet the customs clearance conditions!"
"There is still one piece of missing information," He Qin said solemnly, "but even Marian has not admitted that we are right. Now there is a problem, either a certain mechanism is triggered and a special ending is triggered; or the final boss must be defeated. That’s what counts as victory.”
"But we can't kill it now!" Wen Zheliu shouted, "There are only a few of us, and we don't even have any decent attack props except hatchets and crowbars. How can we kill the boss?"
He Qin's voice seemed calm and calm in Jenny's howl. He said: "Assess the situation and guard against arrogance and impetuosity - think about it carefully, what is it most afraid of?"
Wen Zheliu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses and replied: "Eyeless monster!"
Although Jenny is the owner of the eyeless monsters, they are what she hates the most and what she fears the most. They are her inner demons and the shackles that have trapped her here for hundreds of years.
"Correct answer, plus one point." He Qin's voice was smiling. He adjusted the wireless headset of the communication machine and asked, "Have you found them?"
There was a reply from the other side, and it was Zhou Yao's voice: "The footprints have been found. They are hiding at the edge of the cemetery. Do you want to lead them to you?"
Wen Zheliu was surprised: "When did you..."
"Take one step, look three times." He Qin said in a brisk tone, "Lead to the cemetery, let's go there now!"
He took Wen Zheliu, turned around, and then turned into another dark path. Jenny's huge body couldn't turn in time, scraping against the ground and knocking over a broken wall. It roared: "Don't even think about running away!"
There were large trees on both sides of the path, and the tree crowns intertwined into continuous clouds overhead, but He Qin seemed to be able to see in the dark, perfectly avoiding many tree stumps, bricks and other objects under his feet, and ran quickly in the moonless gloom.
In the distance, Wen Zheliu could already hear the roar of the eyeless monster that sounded like laughter and the shouts of Zhou Qing jumping up and down. At this moment, he still had 56% of his physical strength left.
"Brother." He suddenly asked, "What if the result is not what we thought?"
What if Jenny is not as crazy as they expected, what if the eyeless monster pursues the players with it, what if they are certain to die tonight
He Qin bent his eyes, which were filled with tenderness like water. Without looking back, he said softly: "Then let's die together. Are you afraid?"
Wen Zheliu smiled.
"Not afraid," he said.
A white light suddenly appeared in front of them, and the two of them ran wildly out of the tree-lined path and met towards the cemetery. Behind them was Jenny, who was so angry that she lost her mind and screamed.
When it rampaged all the way and crashed out of the woods, the six attracted eyeless monsters on the opposite side also used all four legs on the ground to tear apart the rubble and bricks, their bloody tongues like whips, and fired at the players!
In the blink of an eye, the king saw the king, and even the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Jenny was stunned on the spot, and the six monsters also hissed in retreat, their long tongues wandered in the air and curled up. They tilted their heads, arched their spines, and made a sizing gesture.
"Let's go!" He Qin whispered, "Whether we can succeed or not depends on this move!"
The two of them gathered towards the main force as quietly as possible. When they heard Zheliu asked in a low voice, "Where is Muto?"
"I almost fainted before I recovered." Du Zijun said, "Xie Yuanyuan is guarding the woods with a blanket and props. I asked him to keep in touch with me at any time."
He Qin nodded slightly. Behind the players, Jenny Hill's three heads were roaring angrily.
"Evil beast!" It trembled all over, and its three pairs of pure black eyeballs were as red as bleeding. "Get away, get away! Don't appear in front of me, or I will let you experience a feeling that is worse than death again! Get out!" !”
The eyeless monster slurped and hesitated on the spot for a while, its long blood-red tongue probing in mid-air like a snake letter, as if it was negotiating with Jenny in a humble way. Jenny became even more furious, and its inner demons were raging with its anger. Burning, it roared and rushed forward, instantly fighting with the eyeless monster!
"Don't try to get in the way of my freedom! I've been imprisoned here long enough, you damn beasts!"
Zhou Qing said in shock: "I, I don't understand, what is this... internal strife?"
"Because of the restrictions of the magic circle." Du Zijun said calmly. He had already learned everything Wen Zheliu and He Qin had deduced on the way. "The ghost sisters imprisoned Mu Tuo and me in an attic on the top floor where a huge magic circle was hidden. , I saw it, that should be the magic that Marianne used to resurrect her sister."
"Jenny drives these monsters, but because of the contract effect of the magic circle, these monsters in turn imprison her here." Zhou Qing understood somewhat, "She hates them and is afraid of them... I understand."
Zhou Yao asked: "Then what should we do now, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"
Wen Zheliu suddenly said: "No, wait a minute, I always feel like something is wrong."
He looked at the scene below - it was truly a hellish scene, not even the Colosseum in ancient Rome, nor the sensory stimulation brought about by Echidna's monster children fighting each other would be greater than this. . Roaring and wailing, broken bones and flesh and splattered blood, messy and tangled limbs and knotted skinless muscles... As a human, Wen Zheliu could hardly watch it for a long time.
One side is an eyeless monster that shrinks from its master in every possible way and is extremely powerful; the other side is a deformed alien that has lost its mind and is furious. Wen Zheliu can't help but think about what kind of obsession this is that makes them unwilling to do anything a hundred years later. What about being entangled unwillingly and unable to get rid of it
He murmured: "She is not willing to give in."
He Qin nodded. Zhou Qing wrapped herself in tight clothes and lowered her head as she waited for the final result. She sighed and said, "Of course she wasn't willing to give in. She died so miserably and humiliatingly... No one would be willing to give in."
No, it's not this unwillingness.
For a hundred years, only the monsters who killed her and her sister have been with her. Travelers who come and go can only stay here for a few days. In the end, they will either escape in embarrassment or be forced to stay here, becoming a meal for the monsters and a force to strengthen the formation.
She was just a little girl, but she was naked on the street at dusk, and she met her end in the pain of being torn apart by humiliation. The people she loved were gone, and the people she hated were also gone, but even after a hundred years, she could not forget that her sister was a traitor who escaped in battle and did not return to save her. However, in these hundred years, only at that time The sister who betrayed her stayed with her along with these monsters.
Like wildfire, she dies and ignites again. The revenge that should be avenged has been avenged, and everyone who deserves to be killed has been killed, but the magic of the cult still binds her, allowing her to see her sister's betrayal day and night, and allowing her to see these monsters day and night, all of whom she killed during her lifetime. Her sinner.
"I understand." Wen Zheliu said, "We did say some things wrong, but I understand everything now."
The fighting below is coming to an end.
Under the moonlight, although Jenny has the ability to recover infinitely, the eyeless monster forced to resist is not a weakling with no strength. This cemetery has buried the townspeople and their ancestors for generations, buried Marianne and Jenny's mother, buried Marianne, and now Jenny will be buried.
The gasps and screams were inaudible, and there were bloody and broken limbs everywhere. The dying eyeless monster was squirming and struggling in the pool of blood. Jenny collapsed into a ball of mud-like minced meat, and the three broken heads were still being opened. Together, it is so persistent that it crazily talks about the power it wants, the freedom it wants, and the relief it wants.
Wen Zheliu held the photo frame pendant in his left hand and the crowbar in his right hand. He Qin held a hatchet beside him. The two of them waded in the blood river together and looked at Jenny, who had been resurrected hundreds of times and was now unable to fight back. .
"Kill... me..." The three heads trembled slightly, "Burn... me... crush my... soul..."
Wen Zheliu opened the photo frame pendant. Under the moonlight, the girl in the photo was carefree and still smiling at herself a hundred years later.
"It's not your sister who imprisons you, nor the monster the guard turned into imprisoning you." He said softly, "It's you who imprisoned yourself."
"You have been trapped in your own memory. It is no one else but yourself, and you are unwilling to let yourself go."
The three human heads shattered on the ground and slowly gathered their shapes again. They replied to Wen Zheliu in a weak but determined voice: "Human... what do you know... you don't know anything..."
"Don't I understand anything?" Wen Zheliu said calmly, "No, just because I am an outsider, I know more than you."
"Monsters have no eyes because in the dim evening, the brim of the guard hat prevents you from seeing the eyes of those men; monsters have huge mouths with sharp teeth and long and disgusting tongues because they tear them apart when they violate you. Bite you and torture you; the howls made by the monsters are also like laughter, because they laugh when they hurt you... The monsters are full of stench, which corresponds to the odor of alcohol emitted by the drunken guards. |The dirty and festering body is the most fearful, hateful and unstable projection deep in your heart... "
"Are these monsters created by cult magic? No, no! They are all the embodiment of the shadow in your memory. They are monsters you imagine to punish yourself. They kill your enemies and make you miserable every day. I’ve been tortured every night! So I say, it’s you who refuses to let yourself go!”
In the pool of blood, Wen Zheliu pinched one of the heads, put the photo frame pendant in front of its eyes, and shouted sadly: "Look, look! This is who you were before, this is who you were before." The daughter you used to make your mother proud of, instead of the freak who tortures herself to the point of madness and relies on killing people for a living! All grudges have ended long ago, just look at her!"
Congratulations to all players, all the puzzles have been solved!
Main quest: Searching for the truth about the first world (1/1) has been completed.
Hidden Mission: Death (1/1) Completed.
The system prompt came without any warning, and while everyone was still surprised, the head that Wen Zheliu was holding broke with a "click".
"How...!" His face changed slightly and he stood up in surprise. He Qin hugged him in time.
"The real mystery has been revealed," He Qin said with a hint of contemplation in his eyes, "It's time for her to be freed."
Wen Zheliu said: "You mean..."
"The ending of the hidden mission, the death of Jenny Hill." He Qin smiled slightly, "She ushered in the death she had always wanted."
He Qin was right. After hearing Zheliu's words, Jenny's huge, mixed and twisted body slowly disintegrated and melted, dissipating into the night wind and moonlight along with the smell of blood. In the end, only a slender, snow-white, clean skeleton shaped like a girl was left, lying so carefree, quietly and peacefully on the ground of this cemetery.
"Countless travelers come and go, but you are the first to tell the truth."
The sound coming from in front of them made the players look up suddenly, and before they knew it, an illusive and beautiful blonde girl was already floating in the air.
Zhou Yao opened his eyes wide: "Jenny?"
"Jenny!" Marianne's thin figure also appeared in front of the cemetery, "You... are you really back?"

"My return also symbolizes my departure." Jenny turned around and finally showed a pale, dewy smile to her sister, "The mystery is revealed, it's time to end all this."
She turned to Wen Zheliu and said to him: "As you said, I thought those people were still alive, even though they had changed their skins and lost their consciousness..."
"All your enemies have died a long time ago," He Qin said. "They were killed by the monsters you created. But you always feel that they are not dead yet, but were resurrected by the cult's magic, and then trapped you here." .”
"What a hard-won truth and peace!" A satisfied smile appeared on the girl's lips, "But no matter heaven or hell, I am free."
Under the moonlight, Marianne sat on her knees on the ground, holding the girl's skeleton tightly in her arms. With silent and cold tears on her face, she watched helplessly as her sister dissipated into countless light spots and was blown by the wind to unknown distances. .
Wen Zheliu looked at the scene in front of him silently. He Qin raised his hand and gently wiped away the stain on his cheek, "If you can think of this, the baby is really amazing, why don't you say anything?"
"I'm a little...sad," he whispered.
He Qin asked: "Why are you sad?"
"You said that because of the popularization of full intelligence, the world view and plot of the Uncanny Valley cannot be fabricated out of thin air." Wen Zheliu looked down at the old and simple pendant in his hand, and Jenny's carefree smile was washed away by the years. Huang, as if she is still living in another time and space, "Be it AI or NPC, behind a Jenny, there may be countless real stories that have happened in the past to enrich her and support her character - when I think of this, I I can’t help but feel sad.”
The author has something to say: This unit will officially end in the next chapter. Jenny is a poor child.
In the comment section of the previous chapter, I actually saw someone saying that she wanted to be Sister Du’s mistress!
Sister Du issued a solemn statement about this. He made it clear: It's hot and tempers can get angry. If I don't smile, don't make trouble.
