After dinner, the setting sun slowly sank into the horizon from the distant horizon.
The trainees got up from the long table, passed the golden dishes with stacks of unleavened bread and wine, and the weeping candlesticks placed on the white tablecloth, all walked to the side entrance of the church, looking into the distance. The night outside.
The heavy wooden door at the front entrance has long been closed and fastened with a wooden door bolt thicker than a dictionary.
The world is darkened.
The city of goodness at night is different from the city of goodness during the day. The city during the day seems to be flooded with holy light, soaked in warm sunlight everywhere. In the town at night, the doors of every household are closed, and even the windows are locked. Looking at the street, there are only rows of dimly lit street lights, which look bleak and desolate.
Soon, the night sky began to become darker.
There were strands of rain falling from the sky, first it was drizzle, and finally it crashed and hit the ground.
In the deeper dark clouds, faint lightning flashes, and through the black, you can clearly see the electric sparks caused by the arc in the heavy rain.
"Sorry, guests, please go to the side hall on one side for a while."
The nuns showed panic on their faces. They hurriedly closed the side door of the church, and apologized to instruct the trainees to sit down in the parlor of the cathedral.
Everyone had a vague hunch in their hearts, obediently following behind, no one spoke.
The side hall is not big. At the back of the church, near the resting place of the priests, there is a comfortable sofa with fluffy pillows on it.
The fireplace burned tirelessly in the center of the side hall, the fine wood squeaked nicely, and the air was full of warm breath.
The difference is the solemn atmosphere of everyone.
Because the main system removed the fuzzy memory, and because of the bizarre encounter in this copy, no one spoke for a while.
Xu Su sat by the fireplace, staring at the flame rising from the center of the firewood, staring in a daze.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. He was clearly in the Horror Dungeon and didn't have time to think about those other things, but the emotions in his heart were still flying and it was difficult to calm down.
When Xu Su came to Infinite Loop, he was still in college and was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. Because of studying in a different place, he did not go home for the entire semester.
It was school vacation that day, and he had a big fight with his family as soon as he arrived home after packing.
What exactly was the content of the quarrel Xu Su himself forgot. People are always like this, but they are cautious when facing strangers, leaving all their tempers to those closest to them.
In a fit of anger, he locked himself in the room and played several hours of games.
He has always had a turbulent personality, and his temper comes and goes quickly, and it is inevitable that he feels a little regretful after being connected.
So Xu Su got up and turned off the computer. He wanted to go out and bow his head, and have a meal by the way. He didn't expect that with such a flash of skill, people would be caught in an infinite loop by the main system and could never go back.
After thinking of all this, Xu Su regretted all the way, regretting why he had to quarrel with his family in the first place.
If family members find that he has disappeared from the room for no apparent reason, they should be more anxious, nervous, and sad. If he can't go back, who will be able to endorse his parents in retirement.
Xu Su almost didn't shed tears when the NPC who was exactly the same as his mother shouted at him when he was in the square.
Because he knew that if it was his mother who was standing there, her mother would definitely say that.
But because of this, Xu Su didn't indulge like other people.
The more sincere the NPCs are, the more he thinks of the family members who are waiting for him to return in reality.
To live, you must live.
He clenched his fists.
Not only for himself, but also for...
Xu Su took a deep breath, remembering his confession in the confession room just now.
He did not choose the sacrament of confession, because confession must be accompanied by the personal actions and regrets of the person concerned. If it is not a sincere confession, it is meaningless to simply exercise this sacrament.
Xu Su doesn't think there is anything wrong with liking someone.
But that person... is of the same sex as him.
Thinking of this, Xu Su felt tangled and distressed.
He was very nervous, and he had only felt that he cared about Xu Sen as a good brother before, and he didn't realize it until the Halloween event in Qicai Amusement Park.
But he is a straight man, and apart from anything else, he really never thought that he would have such a psychology to a man. So at the beginning, he deliberately classified this mood as a suspension bridge effect, thinking that he was subconsciously dependent on another person in an extremely dangerous situation.
Now coming to the copy of Judgment Day, after seeing his former relatives, Xu Su finally faced his inner thoughts directly.
Even if he could complete the main task of this S-level dungeon, he would not choose to stay here.
This dreamlike and beautiful world is always fake, and it is a coward's behavior to persevere in staying while knowing it is fake.
Xu Su didn't want to be a coward. Because he has someone who wants to work hard for, he also wants to be brave.
Survive from this copy, survive from the infinite loop.
Thinking of Xu Sen who led the team into another copy space with Zhuge, Xu Su felt a little worried.
He clenched his fists and made a decision in his heart.
After surviving this copy and returning to the studio, you must tell Xu Sen what you really think.
Regardless of the future, at least have a clear conscience and no longer have to worry about gains and losses.
... ...
After everyone took a rest, they all took on the purifying guns and decided to organize a group to take a look outside.
There is only one trainee like Xu Su in a team of 30 people. Although most of the other trainees are hard to tell, they are more inclined to stay in this S-level instance in their hearts.
After all, this is a good opportunity to retire, which is hard to find in a thousand years. They know their own strength. Going back to participate in the game at this time is tantamount to death. Moreover, the magician Zong Jiu once revealed that the next dungeon is likely to be Super S-class dungeon, a dungeon is the one who will make a final debut with one hundred people.
A mere B-level trainee, who dares to slap his chest to ensure that he will survive in the super S-level dungeon
This opportunity is currently the best opportunity.
It's a pity that the magician is almost lying to win in this copy, and there is no need to think about how to pass Judgment Day.
So other trainees who wanted to stay in this dungeon hugged a group, planning to form a team to explore the situation outside first. After all, there are only six days before Judgment Day, and the Evil City will only show up at night, which means that they only have five nights to eliminate the black lines of the seven deadly sins in their hands.
Everyone eliminated one after the confession, and there are still six. We must work harder.
Only Anthony hesitated after listening to their discussion and took the initiative to take the lead.
He had not forgotten what Zong Jiu had told him, and he knew in his heart that he estimated that just like the npc said, he would not be able to pass the judgment day. Because just after he confessed, the seven black lines on Anthony's arm were still there, without any trace of elimination.
The troublesome problem happened here.
There is a conflict between the main task two and the main task one.
If the dungeon is destroyed, it will inevitably harm the interests of the trainees who want to stay in this dungeon. Coupled with the importance of this interest, it is very likely that it will eventually develop into a situation of infighting or cannibalism.
The abacus of the main system is very good.
Who said that team copy must cooperate? A team comes in, because different interests are killing each other, which has always been the favorite drama of the main system that does not guard the military morality.
Anthony must be careful not to reveal his intentions. Even if he might be hated by these people in the trainee dormitory later, he didn't care. There was a dead end in front of him, and it was justified to fight for his right to survive.
"Okay, let Senior Anthony be the temporary team leader."
Fortunately, he is a high-ranking A-level trainee in this team except for the magician. The others did not think much about it and agreed to his request to be the interim captain.
At this moment, the childish voice of the little pope came from the door of the side hall.
"Night is when the city of good and the city of evil are connected, are you sure you want to go out?"
Also with him was Zong Jiu, who agreed to play with the bear child.
"OK." The trainees nodded.
After scanning a circle and making a silent look with Anthony, Zong Jiu was not surprised to confirm his previous guess.
The white-haired young man paused, "I'll go together too."
Although he doesn't need to do everything possible to eliminate the black line in his hands like other trainees, he still leads the team and has to fulfill his responsibilities.
"You must do it yourself to get rid of the evil. There is no way to get rid of the evil with the help of others."
The little demon standing aside kindly reminded him and lowered his voice: "Brother should go later. Tonight is the first day. They must give them some room for acceptance."
Zong Jiu felt deceitful intuition.
Especially after the little demon stood in the side hall and waved at him with a smile, his bad premonition became more and more serious.
"You go first, I'll be here when I change my clothes."
So he went out behind for a while, and as expected, thunder suddenly came from outside the heavy rain curtain.
"Rumble, rumbling—"
After the thunder, noisy shouts and screams appeared in the rain. The trainees who had just been out for less than ten minutes threw their umbrellas one by one, and ran toward the church under the heavy rain, their expressions full of panic.
In the middle of them, carrying a drenched trainee who was twitching his limbs and turning white eyelids, rushed into the side hall, placed the person beside the warm fireplace, and surrounded him nervously.
"This is how the same thing?"
The white-haired magician who just changed his windbreaker and rain boots, ready to go out with an umbrella, wringed his eyebrows deeply, raised the hem and squatted down/over the body, and probed the trainee's breath with his fingers.
"Outside, there is..."
The others had fear on their faces, and they looked like they hadn't recovered. They couldn't understand what they said because of the hurried running.
Zong Jiu didn't urge them, and asked them to relax one by one before continuing the investigation.
Although weak, there is no life-threatening.
However, the next second, the magician narrowed his eyes.
Under the leaping firelight of the fireplace, a faint black shadow was stretched infinitely, from the feet of the unconscious trainee to the opposite wall, extinguished.
"Why did his shadow come back?"
