The dull bells echoed in the desert for a long time.
The giant blood-red clock gradually disappeared, and the night sky regained a little brightness.
The dim stars twinkled, and a half-pale moonlight hung across the sky, with a shallow arc, like the corners of the god's mocking mouth.
"Xia Leng?!"
Xia Ling was dizzy by the sound of the bell. After a brief spell of confusion, when she regained consciousness, she saw Xia Leng and Chengcheng turning into dust in front of her.
Neither the magic array nor the emperor's divine brilliance had the slightest defensive effect.
Xia Ling's eyes widened, her eyes dull, and she allowed the sand made by Xia Leng and Chengcheng to be blown to her body by the wind.
She couldn't understand why the sound of the bell was so terrifying.
That's summer cold...
With a total attribute of nearly 300 points, he was one of the strongest players in the Pure Land game, but he was instantly eliminated by the sound of a bell, leaving him no room to resist.
What kind of book is this?
Gu Chi's expression was also a little frozen.
Xia Leng...will also be killed? ?
Only Yuyuko was not surprised by this.
Because she also died like this once.
That time it was not just one or two people, but a group, including Lao Li Tou and others, more than a hundred people with all their defensive skills fully activated, and then they all turned into sand under the sound of the bell and dispersed as soon as the wind blew.
The goddess probably knew that she could not resist or protect Mr. Prophet, so when she noticed the appearance of the giant bell and determined that it was the death knell of dust, she chose to risk her life, but in the end nothing changed.
Compared to this result, Yuyouzi was even more puzzled as to why he didn't die this time?
Looking back, Mr. Prophet was still there, and so was Xia Ling.
Only Xialeng and Chengcheng are gone.
The three of them stood alone in the yellow sand and were silent for a long time. Xia Ling was slightly at a loss.
Xia Leng has always been an invincible existence in her heart, but now she couldn't even hold on for a second, and the impact on her was really big.
But fortunately, it's just a game, it's shocking, and it won't make you cry like a newcomer.
Youyouzi suddenly said: "Could it be because of divinity?"
Last time she was killed by the bell, but not this time. In terms of attributes, Xia Leng was higher than her, so it must have nothing to do with attributes.
In addition to her attributes, her biggest growth now compared to before is the divinity brought to her by Mr. Prophet.
The three of them happened to be the first to pass the Ω dungeon. Although Youyouzi never asked Gu Chi about this aspect, she had that achievement and it made no sense for Mr. Prophet and his personal maid who had passed the level normally. no?
This is also the only reasonable explanation Yuyouzi can think of.
Gu Chi frowned.
He also thought about this possibility, but logic told him that it shouldn't be the case.
The current gate to the Kingdom of God has become a death knell of dust.
If clearing Dust Death Knell really gives you divinity, and you can't clear Dust Death Knell without divinity, wouldn't this become an endless cycle?
The divinity of the three of them is still given by the Omega achievement, which is even more outrageous.
Only after clearing Ω can you be qualified to come back and play SS?
This is unreasonable.
Gu Chi did not deny that divinity might indeed have a defensive effect on the sound of bells, but this was certainly not a normal response.
The three of them alone can't defeat a thousand-man dungeon. There must be other ways to survive with lower thresholds.
"Has anyone resisted the sound of this bell before?" Gu Chi asked Youyouzi.
"Yes, there are, but very few." Youyouzi said, "Occasionally one or two people out of a thousand can survive."
It is not clear why they can survive. Their attributes are not the highest nor the lowest.
Divinity cannot be checked and it is difficult to judge.
Putting aside their divinity, these people have almost nothing in common, whether it is appearance, height, gender, body shape, attributes, etc., they are all different.
And some people can withstand the first bell one year, but die more peacefully than anyone else the next year.
Entering Dust Death Knell requires a difficulty key, which is not cheap, and if the same player continuously enters the same instance and there is a CD, the interval must be more than 7 days. The bad group does not have the financial resources, nor does it have the time to control the variables and conduct a lot of experiments, so it cannot be found. What exactly is the problem?
Someone in Dragon Blade had tried to risk their lives before, using resurrection items to force through the first night.
As a result, the bell also rang the next day.
A precious chance to resurrect only gave him 24 hours of survival time, and he didn't get much information. It can be said that his life was in vain.
No matter how rich Dragon Blade is, it is impossible for a thousand players to play with dozens of lives each. These are the core resources used for offline play and cannot be touched casually, let alone the bell is just a death knell. No one can tell what is the first mechanism and what will follow.
This was also one of the main reasons why their first-killing group eventually turned into a group that failed.
The authorities have no idea. What can they do?
Reality won't happen if you don't fight anyway, so why bother with yourself?
It would be better to go to the third floor and wash your feet than to waste money if you have this time.
Xia Ling grasped a key point: "So it is actually possible to resist the sound of these bells without divinity?"
She adjusted her state very quickly, and she had already spread the sand that Xia Leng had turned into as she spoke.
Although Xia Leng sent it, the game still needs to be played, otherwise wouldn’t the door to the Kingdom of God be opened in vain?
"Let's put this question aside for now." Gu Chi changed his mind and decided to ignore any common points for the time being, and said, "We have 24 hours to find the mission."
The important thing now is not how to resist the first bell. They have survived. What is important is that there will be bells next.
Yuyouzi also knew little about the Dust Death Knell, and could not be sure whether the bell tomorrow night would be exactly the same as the bell tonight. They must either rush to clear the dungeon before the second bell rings, or find a more reliable one that can withstand it. Ring the bell to gain more survival time.
It is true that Gate of God has dynamic difficulty, but even if it is calculated as five times the single-player difficulty, it is too exaggerated to throw them into the dust and death knell.
The factors that determine the difficulty level of a dungeon are not only the tasks and time limit, but also the number of players.
A 1,000-player game with 5 people would be at least 200 times more difficult. Even if the Gate of God's Kingdom itself is an SS, or even an SSS, it shouldn't be so outrageous.
Gu Chi is more willing to believe that Dust Death Knell only appears as a map of the Gate of God. Their mission marked as "???" is not Dust Death Knell's original mission. Maybe they only need to complete a "little thing" in this context. , you can clear the copy.
From this perspective, the single-player difficulty Gate of the Kingdom of God may not be in this picture.
The dynamic mode was turned on before entering the game. Because there were too many people, the copy was temporarily changed to Dust Death Knell.
It is equivalent to forcibly dropping them into a war-torn area to deliver express delivery - delivering express delivery is not difficult in itself, but the difficulty is how to cross the line of fire.
Logic told Gu Chi that the map Dust Death Knell should account for a lot of the difficulty in the Gate of God's Kingdom. Just the instant death mechanism that comes quickly after entering the game and will appear repeatedly is already the SS of Thousand Players. Level standard, relatively speaking, the task can only be simpler than the mechanism.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to play at all.
Gu Chi doesn't even consider the possibility that this is the original Death Knell of Dust. If it is, he can just play it.
But he doesn't like to pose.
He is still waiting to improve his divinity and do big things. Even if there is a slight possibility of passing the level, Gu Chi will not lie down and die.
"Let's go find the NPC first."
There was not much time, so Gu Chi didn't hesitate much. After clearing his mind, he took the two women and disappeared into the night.
…
According to Youyouzi's memory, Gu Chi and the others came to the eastern part of the Wailing Desert.
This is the direction of sunrise, the place closest to hope.
The desert was too big, and Gu Chi and his people were unable to reach the destination in one step. After teleporting several times, he saw small towns scattered in the distance.
Outside the town, there is a city wall that curves inward. It is intermittent and incomplete. It seems that it has been worn away by the years and has been changed beyond recognition.
According to Daoyun's calculations, this section of road is almost 2,000 kilometers long.
Without the Word Spirit, it would take a lot of time just to find the town, and you might encounter unknown dangers along the way.
To find a way in such a desert, it is better to cross the line of fire.
"That's it." Youyouzi finally matched the impression of the dust death knell with everything in front of her.
She had never been to this side of the city wall, but she remembered the shape of these towns. They were all square and square, like prisons.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but there is indeed a much less desolate feeling here.
The towns at the end of the horizon are lit with fire, like a cluster of wide and low lighthouses, guiding the way for travelers lost in the desert.
"It's much easier to handle now." Xia Ling breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was someone alive, they could at least find out the background clearly.
This is the only good news so far.
"But we have to take a detour," Youyouzi said. "There are usually monsters hiding near towns. We may not be able to fight them if the goddess is not around."
The spawn points of Dust Knell players are all some distance from the town, and this distance is the reason why many teams were wiped out.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden throbbing under everyone's feet, and the surrounding gravel trembled and made a rustling sound.
"Be careful!" Youyouzi was the first to react and hurriedly pulled Gu Chi and Xia Ling back.
"Roar!" As soon as they got out of the way, a vortex collapsed in the sand, and a giant earthworm-like creature covered in yellow sand roared out of the ground. Its body was twenty meters long and its head penetrated into the sky. The whole mouth was a blood-filled mouth. The sharp hooked teeth were stuck with a putrid and thick green liquid and were drawn up and down. One bite could probably break a building.
"Farewell!" Youyouzi only pulled the two of them back for more than ten meters, but Gu Chi led the two women for more than ten kilometers.
He didn't even mean to test him at all, he ran away without hesitation.
The giant earthworm seemed to have an extremely wide range of senses. It dived into the sand and chased after it, constantly pushing up the dust on the ground and turning it outwards at an extremely fast speed.
It's a pity that Gu Chi is faster than it.
Gu Chi, who had no intention of fighting, didn't even use his legs to run. He programmed the language and used teleportation to activate teleportation. He took one step forward and flashed more than ten times. In just a blink of an eye, the giant earthworm could even see his taillights. Not here.
The movement under the sand stopped abruptly.
It popped its head out, turned its stinky mouth 360 degrees, and finally roared unwillingly before diving back in.
The night returns to silence.
There were many quicksand whirlpools along the way, which all appeared after Gu Chi and the others stopped for a short time, but they were limited to whirlpools and nothing came out.
Gu Chi and the other three soon came to a town.
The architectural style in the town is very strange. Most of them are low bungalows with spikes extending out from the eaves and roofs, like the crown of the Statue of Liberty.
The bricks and tiles that make up the house are very old, and the craftsmanship is far from exquisite. It seems that they were simply pasted with cement and pieced together in a haphazard manner to form the shape of the house.
The city gate is also very unique. There is an iron fence directly inside the gate, which leaks fog, rain and wind.
The entire town is a square with sharp edges, resembling a colonial territory in ancient Europe. A circle of York City Wall is built around the perimeter, with a circular bastion at each corner, and a brazier standing on it. This is what Gu Chi and others saw before. lighthouse".
Apart from this, there are no other sources of light in the city.
The streets were deserted and no one was in sight. It seemed that all the residents had turned off their lights and were sleeping.
"It's so dirty here." Xia Ling was a little uncomfortable with the moss and moss that could be seen everywhere on the road.
It is not simply dirty, but has a muddy feel. It is obviously paved with floor tiles, but it is soft and a little disgusting when you step on it.
But the city is not as dangerous as outside.
The fact that these towns can exist safely in the crisis-ridden Wailing Desert shows that they have a certain "restraint" effect on the monsters in the sand. Maybe they are the "safe zone" for players in the Dust Death Knell copy?
Youyuko observed the houses on the roadside, and she could hear breathing coming from the houses.
Everyone is alive, which is the most reassuring thing after sneaking into a town at night.
"Tell me, will we meet other players?" Youyouzi suddenly thought of something.
After the new version, Dust Death Knell has changed from an event dungeon to an official dungeon. It will come if you don’t fight it. Dragon Blade’s first pass bounty has also been distributed to various guilds. As a result, everyone is now highly motivated to open up wasteland. Maybe they can meet fellow villagers. Woolen cloth.
Gu Chi shook his head: "It's unlikely. Dust Death Knell is an independent copy and the timeline has been fixed. Ours is random and not so easy to encounter, but..."
Gu Chi paused and then said, "We can give it a try."
This is the convenience of the spirit-talking technique. Whether you are in a hurry or looking for someone, it can greatly reduce the time and difficulty.
As for the stretch of road just now, they might not be able to get through it without the word spirit or other non-CD transmission methods.
With the speed of that big earthworm, he might not even be able to escape while driving the Zion.
And if you can't escape, you will most likely die. It takes half a day for a group to fight. The three of them may not be able to polish off the health bar until dawn. If an earthworm comes in during the process, they can immediately go offline and take a shower. What kind of fellow countryman are you looking for?
"Wait a minute, I'll hide myself first." Youyouzi said, hiding himself, just in case.
"Just keep it the whole time." Gu Chi knew the girl's habits, so he simply gave himself and Xia Ling an anti-hide BUFF.
It didn't matter if he didn't go up. This time, Gu Chi was shocked.
A pale, dry face with disheveled hair appeared in front of him without any warning.
Her eyes were dark, covered with a layer of gloom, and covered with bloodshot eyes, and she was staring straight at him, almost face to face.
"grass!"
Gu Chi uttered a rare curse word and immediately jumped back.
Xia Ling also saw this woman. The woman was close to Gu Chi and also close to her. They wandered around the city for a while and didn't notice any dirty things following them.
At this moment, Xia Ling's hair stood on end, and when he took out his dagger, there was a flash of lightning.
This is a skill that comes with forced displacement. Xia Ling rushed far away at once, and the brilliant lightning behind her converged into a line, passing through the woman's body with her.
The woman was unscathed.
Youyouzi was confused: "What are you doing?"
"Who are you?" Gu Chi did not answer. He quickly calmed down and asked while staring at the woman, while giving Youyouzi an anti-invisibility BUFF.
Youyouzi: "!!!"
My dad, there is a ghost!
She swooped to Gu Chi's side, leaving the other side for Xia Ling, who was rushing back.
The two girls worked together to protect Gu Chi behind them in a tacit understanding.
The woman looked at them with unfocused pupils and said in a hoarse voice: "You are not from here... none of you are."
Gu Chi neither admitted nor denied: "Why do you assume our origins?"
The woman said: "You are too weak."
It seems like there is no desire to attack? Gu Chi sneered: "You mean you are very strong? Then why are you like this?"
woman:"……"
She was silent, indicating that this state was not her original state.
Is it a ghost that he became after he died?
Gu Chi is testing the woman's attitude towards the player, whether he is an enemy or a friendly force.
After he finished "fucking", he added a teleport to himself, ready to run away at any time.
After a while, the woman spoke again, with a gentle sigh: "My name is Natalya."
Gu Chi: "My name is Dr. Chen."
Xia Ling: "Chen Tiantian."
Youyouzi: "Chen Meili."
Natalya's withered eyes revealed some confusion: "Are you a family?"
Gu Chi nodded: "Yes, we are here to travel."
"Then you are really good at choosing places." Nataya's tone was slightly mocking, "For people like you, it is the God of Luck who can survive one night. You'd better go back early to avoid dying in a foreign country."
Xia Ling spoke at the right time: "Is it scary here?"
Natalya: "It's not scary, but it's enough to kill you."
"Also, little girl, you should put down the dagger in your hand before chatting with others."
Xia Ling: "..."
Youyouzi quietly hid her hands behind her back and put on a sunny smile: "Senior Nataya, what on earth is this place?"
"My hometown," Natalya said, "is now called the Land of Divine Relics."
She looked at the surrounding houses: "Are you wondering why this place is so dirty and messy, like a prison?"
"Because this is a prison."
"The whole Wailing Desert is a prison."
231 divine calendar years ago, this place was once a prosperous divine kingdom.
Their civilization has a magnificent history and has its own heroes and leaders.
They broke free from the shackles of fate, survived the cruel doomsday, defeated the established disaster, and established a brand new country in the vast deep space of the universe.
Everyone has powerful divinity, and everyone has the possibility of becoming a god.
Their kingdom potential is endless.
It is foreseeable that as long as they are given enough time, they will become the overlord and sweep across the entire starry sky.
Everyone is full of hope for the future of the Kingdom of God and full of ambitions for their own future.
As everyone knows, the real disaster has quietly come.
No old god will allow the new god to grow.
Even though they stayed away from the disputes, hid everywhere, and ignored the destruction of their friendly countries, the old gods still found them.
Compared with the power of the old gods, the new kingdom of gods is too fragile and insignificant.
That day, a total of twelve old gods came to this world with their divine people.
No negotiation, not even superfluous words.
Just a faint word sentenced them to death for everything they had and are now.
"kill."
This is a war without suspense.
They couldn't resist the power of one old god, let alone twelve of them?
Their heroes and leaders were mercilessly killed by the old gods, their homes were destroyed by blood and fire, countless people died in pain and wailing, and the whole world turned blood red.
Natalya realized then that they had never escaped the shackles of fate.
It's just a matter of hanging on for a few more years.
Being knocked down when you are full of hope is an ending that is more despairing and sad than dying on your own.
Their kingdom of God has since become a prison full of yellow sand.
All those who survived the war were imprisoned here, listening to the lingering bell like a nightmare day and night.
The cruel old gods took turns ringing the bells, using the bells to destroy their divinity bit by bit and completely eradicate the possibility of their rising again.
They know very well what it means to cut the grass and root out the roots.
"Have you never thought about escaping?" Youyouzi asked.
"Escape?" Natalya's throat was dry, "Where to escape?"
To this day, they have very little divinity left, and even the meanest pet of the old gods guarding them outside the city has a higher divinity than them.
They have nowhere to escape.
Xia Ling opened her personal panel and found that just as Nataya said, her divine experience had changed from 0/100 to -10/100.
It's just that the achievement bonus is not included in the basic value, so her divinity level remains unchanged at level 1.
If it were a normally upgraded divinity, it would have already dropped in rank at this time.
Natalya whispered: "Losing divinity and turning into dust, becoming part of this world, maybe this is our destined destiny."
Gu Chi doesn't believe this: "Destiny has always been a false proposition. If you don't try to resist, you will never be able to change the status quo."
"Who can tell?" Natalya smiled and looked at the two women: "You don't believe in fate either?"
Youyouzi replied without thinking: "I don't believe it."
If she believed in fate, she would not have run away from home in the first place.
Xia Ling looked at Gu Chi, her eyebrows curved: "I quite believe it."
In other words, she is satisfied with her current life and is willing to obey the destiny.
"Wait." Gu Chi suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why did the topic of fate suddenly come up?
What he said could be attributed to a casual conversation, but why did Natalya go out of her way to ask Xia Ling and Youyouzi?
Twelve old gods take turns ringing the bell...
Is the God of Destiny also one of the old gods?
"It's too late." Nataya noticed the change in Gu Chi's expression, and her absent-minded eyes gradually turned dark. There was a hint of superior indifference in her hoarse voice, which sounded from all directions, encouraging Gu Chi and the others. Eardrum, "When you came here, your fate was sealed."
"You are right. The more you believe in fate, the less you can change it."
"I don't like myself, but I have to be myself."
As soon as the words fell, the whole world seemed to freeze at this moment.
"Dang!"
A dull bell sounded from a distance.
At the same time, Xia Ling's body began to dissipate.
She still glanced at Gu Chi with a smile on her face, and turned into dust from head to toe.
Gu Chi watched helplessly as the girl died in front of him, but he couldn't make any movement, not even move his lips.
His current power is not at the same level as "Nataya".
[The player "fish in the pond" died, the mission failed, the number of remaining players: 2]
Another system prompt popped up at the same time.
[Current copy task refresh]
[Ultimate goal: experience three bells and survive (2/3)]
The bell rang twice in a row in one night, not once a night like Yuyuko said.
Looking back, Natalya has disappeared. No matter how she hides, she can never be found again, as if she has never appeared.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Prophet, I, I really remember they said the second bell rang on the second night..." Watching Xia Ling die, Youyouzi was so anxious that she almost cried.
Mr. Prophet is such a cautious person. If her intelligence hadn't been wrong, Mr. Prophet might not have easily trusted Natalya and wouldn't have easily relaxed her vigilance against Deathstroke. But she really didn't lie intentionally...
"No, I don't blame you." Gu Chi pressed Youyouzi's shoulder and signaled the girl to calm down.
He himself is calming down.
Looking back carefully, all three of them, including him, naturally gave Natalya an "answer" about fate.
One second Xia Ling was holding the dagger to guard against Nataya, and the next second she laughed from the bottom of her heart.
It wasn't that they had relaxed their vigilance, it was that Natalya's words had some kind of bewitching power that drove them to answer.
The white moon in the night sky still looks like a mocking smile.
Gu Chi couldn't remember how long it had been since he entered the book, and he didn't know how long it would be before dawn.
They couldn't bring in watches from outside, and there were no temporary props like mobile phones. Even the game timer that used to exist in the personal interface of the system was gone. They completely lost the accurate concept of time, which meant that there was Maybe it was no longer the night when Xia Leng and Chengcheng died, but the second night came silently.
Or maybe it was because of the difficulty that they came to a timeline where the Dust Bell rang twice a night.
No matter what, you can't blame Yuyouzi.
So far, Dust Death Knell is still a dungeon full of unknowns for them, and the appearance of Natalya made Gu Chi realize that the level of this dungeon is unprecedentedly high, and it has a direct connection with the gods, and anything can happen. .
"We are still one bell away. As long as we listen to it one more time, we can pass the level and obtain divinity." Gu Chi never mentioned Xia Ling.
The sudden change made the situation a little worse. This dungeon didn't feel long at all. Gu Chi really didn't feel how much time had passed. They were teleporting even on their way, but this kind of feeling of being out of control that accidents could happen at any time. , which put enough pressure on them.
The oppression and uneasiness caused by continuous attrition in a short period of time is stronger than being trapped in the desert for a whole day.
They must hold firm and not lose their position, otherwise they may be wiped out at the third bell.
"Let's go, let's find a place to rest first and adjust our condition." Gu Chi said decisively.
Youyouzi: "Okay."
Gu Chi stabilized the girl's mood and prepared to find a B&B or take a walk. He needed some time to reorganize his thoughts.
But sometimes, time is not what you want.
The old gods did not give this Kingdom of God time, and they will not give them time now.
Just as the two turned around, the mocking white moon in the sky disappeared, and the giant bell was struck again.
"Dang!"
But this time, neither heard the bell.
The figures of Gu Chi and Youyouzi stopped in place.
But in their field of vision, they were still moving forward.
As Gu Chi walked, he observed the houses in the night. As he walked, he suddenly felt someone staring at him.
He raised his eyes and saw two figures appearing at the corner in front of him.
Gu Chi's breath was suffocated.
With the faint moonlight, he could clearly see their faces.
That was another him and Yuyuko.
Gu Chi turned around and found that the girl beside him had disappeared without knowing it.
"Illusion?"
Gu Chi stopped and looked at Youyouzi and himself who were getting closer and closer, narrowing his eyes slightly.
A slightly joking voice sounded in his ears.
"Yes, it's an illusion, but it's a pity that you can't get out."
"and who are you?"
Gu Chi asked.
The voice answered simply and straightforwardly, with only one word: "God."
Gu Chi: "Old God?"
Disdainful laughter came from the air: "Is the new god worthy of being called a god?"
Gu Chi used his word spirit to expand his perception to the maximum, trying to find this "god", but the level difference was too far, and he could not feel the other person's existence at all.
"There's no need to look for me. It's useless to find me. It will only make you die faster."
"Where is my companion?"
"Isn't it in front of you?"
"Gu Chi" and "Youyouzi" had already walked up to Gu Chi.
Both of their faces were expressionless and their eyes were empty, like two puppets with empty bodies and no thinking.
Seeing someone who looked exactly like himself, Gu Chi didn't feel shocked and just asked, "I mean the real her."
The voice smiled: "It doesn't hurt to tell you. She is in another illusion, facing the same choice as you."
Gu Chi: "Choose?"
"Yes, choice." The voice said, "You have a knife in your hand."
After saying that, a knife really appeared in Gu Chi's hand.
He continued: "You can choose to kill her, or kill yourself. I like to watch you kill each other. The living person, I allow him to leave the illusion."
Gu Chi did not move: "Are you gods so boring?"
"Don't worry, there is another condition." The voice said, "No matter who you choose to kill, you must cut his skin open one by one and pierce his body. He cannot die within nine swords, otherwise the other People will bury him with him.”
"To make things more interesting, I will allow you to repent during this process. You can change your mind at any time and end the life of your companion."
"Just a reminder, she has the same rights."
"If you both choose to kill each other, it depends on who moves faster. It's the same if you want to kill yourself."
"If you accidentally lose your tacit understanding, you may die at the same time."
"Kill each other at the same time, or kill yourself at the same time."
"How about it? Isn't it interesting?"
He was like an audience in the stands, and there was already a hint of impatience in his words.
"I'm looking forward to your performance about human nature. I'll count to three and then you can take action."
"Did you ring the giant bell?" Gu Chi suddenly asked, "I didn't hear it because I entered the illusion?"
"Are you so smart?" He pretended to be surprised, "Then do you want to guess what your companion will choose?"
Gu Chi said with relief: "You count."
There was no need to guess what Youyouzi would choose, but it was the third bell that made Gu Chi relax.
He had secretly tried to break the illusion, to no avail.
All instructions regarding the illusion and the other party cannot take effect. This should be a real god.
Even if it wasn't, the strength was far greater than that of him and Youyouzi, and they had no room to resist.
It would be better to end it as soon as possible to save him a lot of mental effort.
The door to the Kingdom of God was opened by Youyouzi. If only one person could get the reward, he would not compete with the girl.
"one."
Gu Chi was not afraid of pain either.
He closed his eyes and hypnotized himself, temporarily closing off his senses.
"two."
All he had to do was kill himself with nine swords before Yuyouzi took action, allowing the girl to pass the level.
"three."
So when the sound of "three" fell, Gu Chi also spoke: "Ding."
【Daoyun-104】
This is an air-to-air lock across an illusion. In addition, Youyouzi's attributes are too high, and Daoyun consumes a lot of money.
Moreover, this is an over-level control, and Yuyouzi cannot be restrained for a long time. Maybe it doesn't even take half a second for Youyouzi to break free from the restraints.
But it doesn't matter, just controlling it is enough.
Gu Chi activated Son of the Wind, maxing out the attack speed of his right hand. As soon as he said the word "ding", he stabbed his own puppet's body with a knife.
In another fantasy.
Yuyouzi's movement of raising her hand to stab herself stopped abruptly.
A sharp pain suddenly shot through her abdomen.
Looking down, she saw a dazzling scarlet color spreading rapidly, and blood soaked into her white shirt.
"how come……"
"Mr. Prophet... chose to kill me?"
Youyouzi stared blankly at the wound on her abdomen.
The next second.
"Chi!"
Gu Chi opened "his" thigh.
A deep, bone-deep wound appeared on Youyouzi's leg, almost making her stand unsteady.
Blood flowed down her legs and dripped onto the moss-covered floor, as if bright flowers were blooming.
At the same time, the picture in front of Youyouzi shattered and returned to its original position.
Gu Chi had already struck out for the third time.
The knife was on the shoulder, and the blood splashed red on the girl's white neck and cheeks.
Youyouzi's eyes were covered with mist. She looked at the man so close in front of her, her slender eyelashes couldn't stop trembling.
She could even smell Gu Chi's reassuring scent and the sweetness of her own blood.
The voice sounded again, mocking: "You seem to have guessed wrong."
"But it doesn't matter, you can still choose to do it."
"I now give you a privilege. You can kill him with just one knife."
"Cut his head off, stab his heart, whatever."
"He chose to kill you anyway, so it's not worth losing your life for him, right?"
Gu Chi stabbed "himself" in the waist for the fourth time.
This knife was stabbed for Xia Leng, so it was considered as venting his anger on Xia Leng's behalf.
At this time, Gu Chi's red knife came in and the red knife came out, completely unaware that besides the authenticity of the gods, there was another possibility.
He knows too little about gods, or in other words, no player understands gods.
They don't have access to it, they don't have the opportunity to understand it.
Most gods keep their word, are cold-blooded and arrogant. They usually disdain lying, with the exception of one god.
He calls it Foolishness.
"Bang."
Youyouzi loosened her right hand weakly and let the knife fall to the ground.
She chose to give up her so-called "privilege".
She lowered her head and watched as Gu Chi stabbed her body with one knife after another, mincing her flesh and blood.
The God of Fools said unexpectedly: "You won't kill him?"
"Chi!"
The fifth knife.
"Why should I kill him?" Youyouzi asked.
"Because he killed you," replied the God of Fools.
The sixth knife.
"Really?" When Youyouzi raised her head again, the fog in her eyes had completely faded. She looked at the night sky, a sunny smile bloomed on her blood-stained cheeks, but the red blood made the smile a bit sad, "You If you can’t fool me, Mr. Prophet won’t kill me.”
God of Fools: "Then what is he doing now?"
Youyouzi: "Mr. Prophet taught me that what you see may not be what you believe."
God of Fools: "You are fooling yourself."
The seventh knife.
"Uh... so what?" Yuyouzi endured the pain of tearing her upper abdomen and said nonchalantly, "Even if he really wants to kill me, just kill me. Is there anything to hesitate about? There is something you might still want to do. I don’t know…”
Youyouzi's pupils glowed red, she raised her blood-covered palm in front of her face, stuck out her tongue and licked it, and said slightly excitedly: "My favorite thing is blood, especially the blood made by Mr. Prophet himself."
God of Fools: "?"
The eighth knife.
Gu Chi cut his arm.
Youyouzi's original delicate face was already a little distorted, and morbid excitement and pain intertwined on her face, but even so, she still didn't say a word.
Gu Chi chose the heart for the last stab.
Last time I gave Youyouzi a fake one, but this time I can get a real one.
He accurately inserted the tip of the knife into the chest of his other self, used force to break the bones, opened a bloody hole, then reached in and took out the heart completely.
Youyouzi was trembling all over, all the blood on her face was gone, and her vitality was rapidly passing away.
Even her pupils had lost their color, but she was still smiling.
She has always been the one to take other people's hearts, and it felt a bit strange to have someone take them for the first time.
It turns out that dying in the hands of Mr. Prophet is really a wonderful thing.
Mr. Prophet had given her a heart before, and now she returned it to him, which was regarded as reciprocity.
Mr. Prophet will probably like it, right?
As for divinity…
Who cares?
It's just a pity that I can't clear the level with Mr. Prophet...
"Boom."
Youyouzi fell down.
"It's boring."
The God of Fools suddenly felt a little bored when he saw the girl looking happy until her death.
Gu Chi threw away the blood-stained knife, held his heart in his hand, and calmly waited for the illusion to be shattered to welcome the coming death.
But he couldn't wait any longer.
The white moon reappeared in the sky.
This time it's a full moon.
When Gu Chi returned to reality, the suffocation he imagined did not come, only a strong smell of blood.
The night is silent, gentle and cruel.
Under his feet, blood flowed all over the ground, reflecting the cold light of the white moon.
And in the pool of blood, there lay a girl covered in wounds and smiling.
Even though Gu Chi's psychological quality was strong enough, his eyes widened at that moment and he froze in place.
"faint……?"
How could she die? ?
Youyouzi could no longer speak, and the only answer Gu Chi had was the system prompt.
