Time returns to the present.
Xu Shuo stood at the corner of the corridor with the knocked-out Pei Sheng, took out his cell phone and sent a text message, urging a student who was secretly playing with his cell phone in bed in the middle of the night to go to sleep.
Yangcheng Normal University.
Buzz——
The muted phone vibrated slightly.
Xu Xi, who was curled up in bed and browsing news on the web, pointed her fingers, then clicked on the text message with a slight guilt and replied.
After replying to the text message, she put the phone screen next to her, then slightly poked her head out and glanced at the sleeping black cat lying motionless at the end of the bed.
Xu Xi sighed silently, lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling with his eyes open.
After a while.
Forget it, let's go to bed early.
Even if the world ends, I still have to get up early to study.
…
…
Xu Shuo put away his phone and looked at the swimming pool.
Ross is dealing with the abyssal pollution here in Arena 101.
According to Los, all the pollution tonight is probably directed at him, so it is natural that Yangcheng Normal University, where Xu Xi is located, has also had pollution sources.
But he probably knew what Xu Shuo cared about.
So after talking about the situation at Yangcheng Normal University, without waiting for Xu Shuo's expression to change, Los quickly said, "There's no problem over there."
Xu Shuo frowned: "So, why did this happen suddenly? It's obvious that Themis had already cleaned up the darkness in this world when she left this morning."
After listening to this.
Los said with a strange expression: "It is probably because he cleared away all the darkness that the abyss erupted this time. You can understand that the abyss is always touching your existence, and they are temporarily satisfied. No rush, no slowness, but suddenly all these satisfactions are hollowed out, and in order to fill the gap, they will become even more crazy and follow their instincts to obtain."
After hearing this, Xu Shuo said: "..."
He paused for a moment before asking: "Are other players who have won this abyss title treated like this?"
Ross shook his head honestly.
But then, probably for comfort, Ross added: "But the treatment in front of the abyss is pretty much the same."
in short.
Other players will not attract the Abyss over.
It's just that after encountering the abyss, it will also cause those monsters to attack crazily.
Xu Shuo stopped asking further after hearing this. Lose was quietly relieved when he saw this, and consciously entered the No. 101 swimming pool to clean up the abyss.
…
The pollution sources in swimming pool facilities are easy to solve.
After finishing cleaning up, Los came out and looked at the young man who was leaning in the corner and playing with his mobile phone. He happened to meet the latter's gaze that seemed to be aware of him and looked over.
He subconsciously wanted to say something: "Originally, the pollution source here should be stronger. After all, he is the person closest to you besides Xu Xi. However, this community is protected by special armor, so the abyss level is not high yet."
Xu Shuo nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
Ross responded reflexively: "No, it's just a matter of effort."
"In that case, why don't you usually help deal with the abyss of this world?" Then Xu Shuo suddenly added another sentence.
"..." Lose choked.
"Okay, I know you don't have this obligation."
Xu Shuo put away his cell phone and put Pei Sheng, who was unconscious and sleeping soundly, on his shoulders.
He turned and walked outside the venue.
But when I turned around, I saw that Los didn't follow him out.
After thinking about it, Lose was probably the type who didn't take the usual path, so Xu Shuo said nothing more. After walking out of the venue, he saw Pei Hong waiting not far away.
Troops from the Security Bureau have also arrived.
But there is probably no place for them to take action.
Xu Shuo believed that there was something inside
The West must have been cleaned up very cleanly by Los, leaving no trace behind.
Pei Hong stepped forward.
Originally, the team from the Security Bureau wanted to take Pei Sheng and take him to the quarantine, but Pei Hong blocked them and just said lightly: "I will make it clear to you, Captain Zheng."
Xu Shuo handed Pei Sheng over to him.
"Don't worry, there is a high probability that this guy will have nothing wrong with him. I guess he won't even have any psychological shadow. Speaking of which, what are you setting up here in Shengcheng Garden?"
"I asked a friend to help me make it."
Pei Hong looked at him with some surprise and said: "He is from the capital. After I learned about the anomalies in this world, I asked him to help leave a security near my home. But he said that it would be difficult for others to find it. "
That last sentence was clearly in the nature of a question.
Xu Shuo didn't hide anything and said: "So that's the case, then what he said should be fine, because it turned out that this thing is not me."
Pei Hong paused slightly.
He remembered the data backup made by the Security Bureau on Xu Shuo, and heard that he had something to do with the "judgments" in those special worlds, and the status of the judges was higher than that of "players".
Thinking of this, Pei Hong didn't go beyond asking any more questions.
"I heard that there are many pollution sources in other places tonight. Do you still want to go to the party?" Pei Hong said casually.
"...Let's go and have a look."
"Then I won't give it away."
Pei Hong asked his bodyguards to carry Pei Sheng, and they had no intention of following the security bureau's troops to the quarantine area.
Although the Security Bureau had no choice but to agree, for the sake of safety, the Security Bureau still left a team to guard Shengcheng Garden and started the "disinfection" operation.
Since I don’t plan to go to the official quarantine area.
Then just quarantine the whole place.
But before parting.
Pei Hong suddenly said to Xu Shuo: "I heard that the superiors do not plan to announce these things to the public, but with tonight's situation, I guess they won't be able to hide it for long."
Xu Shuo paused: "So?"
Pei Hong: "Let's talk again."
Without any more nonsense, the two of them separated with a tacit wink.
…
…
When driving to the Black Rain area.
Xu Shuo finally had time to open the blinking red dot in his upper right corner and read the message in the player's manual.
Luo Kai bombarded him with many messages.
The first thing that catches your eye.
This is the last one:
[Look, what a cute little girl, she looks like this without her clothes...]
Xu Shuo: "?"
What perversion?
While waiting for the red light, Xu Shuo consciously controlled the chat history to slide up, and quickly read all the messages sent by Luo Kai at a glance.
Xu Shuo paused for a moment, then clicked on the "Square" function, intending to check out the forum.
The result is this click.
Clicked on the system prompt of [The script space is undergoing maintenance and upgrade].
During this maintenance, you cannot enter the script, watch the plays you have participated in, enter other players' personal spaces, or surf in the player square.
But the information function and prop function are normal.
That's why Xu Shuo never noticed that it was under maintenance again.
See this situation.
Xu Shuo did not reply to Luo Kai, but directly closed the player manual, then took out his mobile phone and called Captain Zheng.
The other party connected quickly.
""Mr. Xu, I have received the news from you."
"Where is Luo Kai now?"
""Mr. Luo just entered the shopping mall at the intersection of Heping Street and Tai Road. It is the large affordable shopping mall near your residence. Now it seems to have become an alien space."
"Then I'll go to Peach Blossom Street first."
""ah……""
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Xu Shuo thought thoughtfully: "What's wrong?"
""Mr. Luo has been in there for ten minutes and there is no news. Our equipment here cannot see his status."
Hear this.
Xu Shuo had no choice but to call up the player's manual again.
Then a message was sent from the bureau.
There was no reply for a while.
Maybe it's busy.
I'm so busy that I don't even have time to open the player's manual and take a look.
Xu Shuo immediately frowned.
But the situation on Peach Blossom Street in Heiyu District is still unclear. After all, it is a fourth-level abyss, and it is probably related to the little monster in a certain script.
Or maybe it has something to do with him...
Wait, everything tonight seems to have nothing to do with him?
At this time the red light came on.
Xu Shuo continued to think as he drove to Heiyu District.
Although Luo Kai said that the monster had some self-thinking.
But the monster's temperament is also unpredictable.
No one knows how long it will last.
""Mr. Xu?"
There was an inquiry on the phone that had not been answered for a long time.
Xu Shuo came back to his senses and said: "I know, let me go to Heping Street to take a look first. By the way, your Yangcheng Security Bureau has been developing for more than a month. Are these the only players you have found so far?"
Captain Zheng over there sighed.
""Mr. Xu, there are very few high-level ability users like you and Mr. Luo. Most of them seem to have just come into contact with that world."
"……knew."
Xu Shuo originally wanted to say something when he heard this.
But in the end he stopped talking.
After hanging up the phone.
Xu Shuo glanced at the date on the phone screen.
——Obviously he only came into contact with the script space not long ago, right?
But according to Hongrao.
Because he often runs the wrong script and gets experience points that are very different from the current stage, so he upgrades faster than ordinary people.
Ordinary people at this time.
Even if you study every day, you should have only reached the second level soon.
Xu Shuo is already at level three.
but……
Xu Shuocheng had reservations about this process.
Because didn't that guy Luo Kun get promoted so quickly? !
Why hasn't he died suddenly?
…
…
An affordable shopping mall at the intersection of Heping Street and Tai Road.
Xu Shuo's car drove directly to the intersection. When he got out of the car, he saw a cheap shopping mall surrounded by a police cordon, and a young man in white standing next to the cordon.
The young man was wearing a goggle-style helmet on his head and was looking in the direction of the mall.
"Mr. Xu!"
Captain Zheng, who was standing by, quickly came over to greet him.
Xu Shuo glanced at the young man, then looked at him and said, "Is there any spread?"
If the darkness of the abyss continues to spread to the surroundings, it will be an unstable expansion state. If it does not spread, the situation inside will most likely be stable.
But the good news is there is no contagion status.
The bad news is whoever gets in will lose it.
Captain Zheng originally wanted the Operations Team of the Security Bureau to investigate the situation inside and then implement countermeasures. As a result, no matter whether it was people or props, as long as they touched that area, all contact would be instantly lost.
Luo Kai also lost contact after entering.
This makes it completely impossible for them to know what is going on inside.
"what is that?"
After hearing the situation, Xu Shuo was thoughtful, and then curiously asked about the helmet on the young man's head.
Captain Zheng then reported the previous
What Luo Kai had explained was explained again.
As expected, Xu Shuo also became curious.
However, he did not have an on-site trial like Luo Kai.
Because you already know that the thing can only see through the surface illusion, and can no longer see other situations in that space, there is no need to waste this time.
Xu Shuo directly turned on the radar and looked at the abyss level.
[Abyss Level: Level 4. 】
Level 4...
No wonder Luo Kai went in for so long.
Xu Shuo's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately remembered what Hongrao had often whispered in his ears before.
——Thanks to Hongrao's constant thoughts, Xu Shuo already became alert reflexively whenever he heard the name of the fourth-level abyss.
But he was really curious.
Is the Level 4 Abyss really that scary?
With his current mental strength, is he unable to move?
With this curiosity in mind, Xu Shuo stepped into the cordon and stood one meter away from the cordon as if feeling something.
There seems to be something ahead.
However, in his current sight, the front is only half of the street leading to the affordable shopping mall. The moonlight at night falls on the road, reflecting an extremely real floating light.
"Mr. Xu, you..."
Captain Zheng was about to advise him whether he should investigate carefully before going in, but before he could finish speaking, Xu Shuo suddenly stepped out.
The moment the toe of the shoe touches that area.
The young man's figure disappeared directly here.
And at the next moment, the young man in a white coat wearing a semiconductor helmet suddenly said, "I saw it."
Captain Zheng immediately looked at him, his eyes shining.
"What do you see?"
The young man said seriously: "He glowed red when he disappeared."
Captain Zheng: "..."
He thought he saw the scene inside.
Captain Zheng sighed helplessly.
Now they can only place their hopes on the two people inside.
…
…
The roof of a building next to Hetai intersection.
Los was sitting on the edge of the rooftop, looking expressionlessly in the direction of the cheap shopping mall. He didn't hide anything, but the drones hovering in the sky turned a blind eye to his existence.
Seeing the young man walking in without hesitation, Ross sighed helplessly.
He knew why the man was so unscrupulous.
It's like the threat of the abyss forces players in this world to be exposed.
That guy also forced him to take action frequently.
Although he can take action.
But if things continue like this - not only is the growth of emotions restricted, but the frequent movements of the sixth house will also definitely cause other gods to discover abnormalities in this world.
This directly discovers the existence of that person.
Especially the Tower of Judgment.
Los really hates the Tower of Judgment, hates all the judgments there, and hates every order there.
Because order is just a rigid procedure.
There is no emotion at all.
Programs will not tell you about the infinite possibilities brought about by the seven emotions and six desires. They will only tell you in a straight and clear manner that anything wrong should not exist.
Even Themis...
That must be the case in the end.
