He Qin smiled and picked him up from the grass. Only then did the two of them have time to look at the surrounding environment. This place obviously did not belong to any of the transfer stations they were familiar with, but more like...
"...City of Nova." Wen Zheliu said solemnly and suspiciously, "We are back?"
Golden light surged in He Qin's eyes, and he shook his head: "No, this is still the Uncanny Valley, and it's still Ragnarok mode."
Wen Zheliu asked: "Then where did the others go?"
"...here." Du Zijun's deep voice sounded through the communicator, with a hint of helplessness and numbness of "I knew it would be like this"... Wen Zheliu turned around in horror, only to see the brilliance of the skyscraper they had just jumped off. In a blink of an eye, like a chameleon perched on a branch, every floor-to-ceiling window is like a scale of radiant light. The changing colors gradually reveal countless densely packed heads... That is actually the player's base camp!
Holy nun, I'll catch you...!
"Can the first place and the second place come here to discuss it together?" Li Rong asked with a teasing smile, "Just now everyone thought someone had fallen from upstairs, and they were planning to rush to the window to save someone. Save…”
…Then we saw the two of us jumping down and rolling around on the grass like fools who committed suicide for love, right
Wen Zheliu pressed his temples and tried his best to forget the embarrassment he felt after being watched by countless people. He Qin didn't feel anything wrong: "It's coming."
After sitting down, Wen Zheliu saw Xie Yuanyuan's illusory projection again, pitifully nestled in the desolate snow, and couldn't help but asked with concern: "Why haven't you come out yet?"
Du Zijun rubbed his nose and whispered: "It seems that there are not three worlds left where he is. I just asked people who went to the other two worlds. Yu Hongyao said it was a bit like the snow mountain ruins they cleared, but the snow mountain There is no such large and empty plain in the ruins..."
"Where is that?" Wen Zheliu frowned, and He Qin said: "We will discuss this matter in private later... Xie Yuanyuan, you stay there first. As long as you don't move, no other creature will find you. whereabouts."
Xie Yuanyuan sighed and said hello.
Wen Zheliu looked around. Most of the people here were familiar players. The core leadership of each team was basically here. He also saw Qiu Boyi and Guan Zhiyu, dressed in black, sitting in the corner with pale faces and calm expressions. inside.
He walked over and asked the two people, "Where is Miss Xue Wenshu?"
Qiu Boyi smiled: "Xiao Shu... Xiao Shu is comforting others at the lower level, so he won't come up yet."
After receiving this answer, Wen Zheliu thought about it for a long time and didn't know what to say. He lowered his head and said softly amidst the noisy noise around him: "...I'm sorry."
Guan Zhiyu glanced at him in surprise, and finally laughed: "Why do you say sorry? This is the path he chose."
"I thought... I thought we could definitely..." He couldn't continue. What could we definitely do? Everyone says that Nessun Dorma is a miracle team. As long as you work with them, no matter how difficult the level is, it will become a simple game like Tetris. No one will die or fail... However, miracles cannot work again and again. A person's negligence may cost him his life.
"Indeed, Nessun Dorma is an amazing team." As if he knew what he wanted to say, Qiu Boyi sat aside and motioned for him to stop talking. "There are only four people, but they seem to be holding an invincible army. The army... It’s incredible to think about it now. This place was supposed to be a life-and-death battlefield, but the strongest team is actually such a group of gentle people."
"Gentle...?" Wen Zheliu was a little confused.
"Yes, gentle." Guan Zhiyu's smile was very small, as if he could no longer muster any strength, "As the strong, you tried your best to maintain the dignity and personality of the weak, and treated them as sincere opponents, even if Have the upper hand, and never kill people because of richer rewards, higher rankings, etc... Everyone says that the strongest teams do this, so there must be some reason, right? So everyone gradually started to Did it.”
"That's just because...the smaller the number, the stronger the Holy Nun's control over the Uncanny Valley," Wen Zheliu smiled bitterly, "To be gentle..."
His sad eyes met He Qin who was not far away. He Qin frowned with thick black eyebrows and looked unhappy. He immediately wanted to come over and take him away, but he tried his best to restrain himself.
He smiled: "...Ah, he is indeed a gentle person."
"If the president is still here, I can already think of what he is going to say," Qiu Boyi imitated Hua Ying's tone, "It doesn't matter, I have long decided to eat what I like and live a short life."
Guan Zhiyu nodded: "Or, 'Even if it's just a moment, I hope I can bloom and then wither silently'... something like a middle-aged silver quote."
Although the two people were laughing, their eyes were red. Wen Zheliu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "We will find a way. When we get out, we will definitely find a way to save him... for sure."
"Everyone," Li Rong said as he watched people from all the major societies settle down, he was the first to speak, "the last three worlds have been cleared, namely the Snow Mountain Ruins, the Live Battle Royale, and the Underworld. Although we won in the end , but unfortunately we lost some important companions... What do you think?"
"One question." Du Zijun looked calm, with one shoulder exposed and the mermaid swimming back and forth, looking at everyone curiously, "Where are you now?"
"The last transfer station." Yu Hongyao replied, "You can understand it this way. The nine transfer stations have now been merged into one to accommodate all players. NPCs have also returned and are maintaining order in the transfer station. And this Outside the largest transfer station is the exit of the Uncanny Valley.”
"Exit." Du Zijun raised his eyebrows and repeated, "No one tried to get out?"
Gu Xi turned a few slender plum blossom needles between his fingers, shimmering with silver light: "Yes, why not? There are so many people that we can't stop them. After entering the portal outside the city gate, there was no movement anymore. I don't know. Whether he is dead or alive, I don’t know whether he will go home or not.”
"You can't go out!" Wen Zheliu was suddenly startled and had to interrupt the conversation with the Heretic Tribunal, "Is anyone going out now?"
Richardson's red hair automatically burned in the windless room, as if burning gloomily. He said slowly: "The portal was blocked the day before yesterday. The holy nun didn't say a word. Only the system prompted that the last world has been cleared. All idiots should I knew something was wrong.”
He turned to Wen Zheliu and asked, "But why are you so sure?"
Wen Zheliu pinched the bridge of his nose and considered it for a moment: "When we were finishing up in Huangquan Kingdom, the Holy Sister came to see me once. She said... we can go home, but before we go home, there will be a little obstacle."
The conference room was quiet for a moment, and then became noisy. Players were whispering and discussing with their companions. Li Tianyu worriedly said: "Those who left, aren't they..."
"The danger is gone." Li Rong frowned and had a headache.
"So what's your plan now?" He Qin asked, "If the Holy Sister doesn't come back for a day, will there be a stalemate for a day?"
"Of course not." Yu Hongyao kept his eyes lowered. When he spoke, he raised his head and looked directly at He Qin, "We need permission."
He Qin stopped tapping his fingers on the seat. Wen Zheliu whispered sorry to Qiu Boyi and Guan Zhiyu, and walked over to sit next to him.
"Permissions." He Qin chewed the word with interest. There was no sign of approval on his face, but there was no sign of opposition either. "Please tell me your plan."
Li Rong said: "According to our guess, the Holy Nun should no longer be in the uncanny valley now, right? Her influence on reality is increasing, and it's time to set out to conquer mankind in person."
"She is at the upper hand and we are at a disadvantage. What reason does she have to fulfill her original promise and release so many hostages?" Ji Yuanfeng continued, "So we need authority, authority to connect to Nova City...even if we can't return. In the real world, we must not sit still and wait for death!”
"Either wait, or prepare for war, there is no other way between the two roads," Chi Qingliu said coldly, "I think we are just higher-level cannon fodder in a war, but if we don't fight, Then we can only wait for death. If the permissions of Nova City can be opened, we can all get back our original levels and equipment... "
"You want to confront the Holy Sister directly." Something complicated appeared in He Qin's expression, "You are so courageous."
"Is it feasible?" Wen Zheliu asked, "Although the data of Nova City and the Uncanny Valley should be incompatible, the Holy Sister holds the Jade Record and is still one of the strongest masterminds of Nova City... The player's power, Can you really shake her?"
Just when He Qin was about to speak, the optical brain on his wrist suddenly made a "ding" sound, like a small clock telling time. He took a look. At this moment, Wen Zheliu felt that he was surprised, and there was a joyful smile in his surprise. .
"No, it's nothing." He looked at Wen Zheliu with a smile, "Actually, props are an important form of permission. The more high-level props, the greater the permissions that can be opened to players. If the player The level of the props she holds is high enough, so it’s no problem to use the Holy Nun as a boss to clear up wasteland. But one thing you really need to pay attention to is that the Holy Nun holds the Jade Record in her hand, which is equivalent to the key to dismantling and reorganizing the virtual world... let alone the new star. A-levels are scarce in the city, and even S-levels might not be enough for her to demolish."

Wen Zheliu noticed that Li Rong and Yu Hongyao exchanged a flat look across a dozen people's seats.
"This is not a problem." Li Rong was the first to speak, "As long as we can get back what originally belonged to the players, I think we can give it a try."
He Qin smiled: "Then give it a try and give me some time."
He stood up and walked out of the conference room with No One Sleeping.
The corridor was empty. Xie Yuanyuan watched for a long time and couldn't help but ask: "Is there really a way to connect the data of Nova City?"
"Yes." He Qin said concisely, "But it must be opened from the outside, using my dog tag."
"Exterior," Du Zijun said, "then we have to return to the real world? How can we play with the key locked in the cabinet?"
"The process of clearing levels is equivalent to the process of solving puzzles," He Qin said. "Even if we did not participate in the last three worlds one by one, because of the characteristics of Ragnarok, it can be classified as an achievement for all players. Now the answer is clearly revealed , we are very close to the data core of the Uncanny Valley, it is not impossible to find the exit, tear off the shackles, and return to the real world..."
Wen Zheliu guessed what he meant.
"But very few people can get out this way, right?"
"Yes." He Qin nodded, "Even if the Holy Sister is not in her lair now, it is still impossible to take away players in large numbers. After all, I am not a god and cannot protect everyone."
"Then you should go out first," Xie Yuanyuan suddenly said, "Maybe... some people will have opinions, but this is something that can't be helped. If you want to resist, you can't rely solely on the power gained from the uncanny valley."
He Qin is the most important check and balance in the Uncanny Valley. With him around, n-star will have to do its best to compete with the Holy Nun. After he leaves, there is no one as important as him among the remaining players. What changes will n-star make to its confrontation policy? No one could have imagined it.
None of the four people spoke, and the atmosphere was very tense.
Du Zijun said: "It's not just an opinion. People who know that you are leaving alone may flood the portal. Don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality... It doesn't matter whether you are the best in the world or not, how terrible people's jealousy is. You do not understand?"
Wen Zheliu said: "If I stay here..."
"You come with me." He Qin's eyes instantly turned cold, "There is no need to discuss this matter."
Wen Zheliu was angry and funny: "Why should I go with you? The dog tag is hanging around my neck. You can just take it away and open the permissions. What can be done by one person, why do you need two people?" ?”
Du Zijun coughed: "I'll take Xie Yuanyuan for a walk. You two can discuss this first. I don't care."
He Qin looked at him, and without waiting for He Zheliu to say anything else, he said in a light and quick voice: "Ning Ning, happy birthday."
Wen Zheliu was stunned for a moment, and he was so full of words that he forgot about Java: "What?"
Birthday...my own birthday
Was it because of this that he suddenly smiled just now...
"I... I'm eighteen?" Wen Zheliu still couldn't react. In the past few months in the uncanny valley, time was the criterion for calculating the speed of clearance. It was the key that needed to be snatched with life. It was a job that one could not wait to break. It is regarded as a rare item of ten flowers, but it is not an ordinary unit of measurement.
It turns out that he has grown up... just now, after that jingle.
"We can get your parents' relics and will back in an open and honest manner." He Qin hugged him and kissed him on the forehead, "Okay?"
