After daylight broke out, Li Yi and his party returned to the capital in the twilight that had not completely dissipated.
Logically speaking, this is not the best time, not to mention what Bi Shufeng said clearly, but Li Yi knew it very well.
In fact, he couldn't figure out many things.
But the other party insisted on going back to hand over the task, and he had no reason to keep these people.
You can't ask others to do the same thing just because you saved your life, right?
Li Yi couldn't do this kind of thing yet. What he wanted was willingness, not reluctance, so he escorted several people back to the capital.
It can be said that apart from completing the mission, he achieved almost nothing during this trip.
Fortunately, Bi Shufeng seemed to see his disappointment, and while giving him a promise, he also left a message.
It was this sentence that made Li Yi think hard for a long time but could not get the answer.
"Mr. Li is a smart man, hasn't he thought about the meaning of the existence of this world? I don't want to discuss some philosophical issues with him, but a fact. Hasn't he thought that this world may not be impossible? Was it created by someone?"
"What we see, hear, and find clues now, the so-called Creator, or the master brain terminal fifty meters underground in the capital, is it possible that it is just a rhetoric deliberately put forward by the real creator? Woolen cloth?"
Li Yi asked him at that time.
"how you said that?"
And this middle-aged man, who was just an ordinary scientific researcher, just gave him a mysterious smile, turned around and led his men into the city.
Looking at the tired-looking figures, Li Yi only said one sentence.
Madhu, it’s already this time, but I’m still hiding it.
In fact, it was not that he had never thought about what Bi Shufeng said.
But now that we are already in it, some things are useless even if we think about them clearly.
Without the kind of strength that can single-handedly overwhelm the entire world, all we can do is fumble around.
Li Yi still thought very clearly about this.
Since you don’t have that strength, let’s be honest and start by completing the system release tasks!
He believed that even if he just relied on the rewards from the system and worked steadily, as long as he didn't die, he would continue to make progress. Sooner or later, he would be able to achieve the kind of strength that could overwhelm everything when he first arrived.
Now he was looking through the results of previous missions.
To be honest, compared to the previous dungeons with relatively easy difficulty, the rewards in this dungeon were pitifully small, and they were all rewards that were of little use to his current combat power.
Take that key for example.
According to the system, this is a key with a mysterious origin, but the system has not said what its specific function is and where the mystery lies. I have tried several times to figure it out but I still have no clue.
He had no choice but to throw this silver key, which was said to be the most useful, into his pocket.
What he wants now is props or other things that can actually improve him, rather than these weird things that may be possible in the future but are out of reach now.
After reading all the rewards, Li Yi was stunned subconsciously.
By the way, what am I here for?
Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He didn't know why, but lately he would suddenly realize that he had no purpose, as if there were such a pair of invisible hands in the dark. Whenever he wanted to do something, he would All his thoughts, plans, and motivations were wiped clean.
But it was also because of this moment that he suddenly remembered the scene he had experienced.
Li Yi's eyes instantly turned cold.
For some reason, the mysterious old man didn't erase his memory. He could also see that since the other party could easily erase the memories of Bi Shufeng and the others, he could naturally do the same thing to him.
In the face of absolute strength, the difference between him and Bi Shufeng in front of that mysterious old man was nothing more than an ant and a stronger ant.
He didn't understand what was special about him that could make others look at him differently.
Especially the last words the other party said seemed to refer to him being involved in a gambling game, and the mysterious old man was one of the parties to the gambling game.
So, I'm still a pawn?
Suddenly thinking of this did not make Li Yi feel suddenly enlightened.
On the contrary, his mood suddenly became much lower, which also caused the expression on his face to become even more gloomy.
No one would feel happy when they knew that they were just a pawn in a gambling game, and he was no exception.
Of course, what he wants to do most is to jump up from the chessboard mentioned by the other party, overturn the so-called gambling game, and give the two parties a loud slap in the face, telling them that he is not a chess piece to be manipulated. .
But when he thought of that mysterious and powerful old man, Li Yi felt powerless for the first time.
This feeling was something he had never experienced before even when facing the so-called God.
Thinking of his experience of "fighting side by side" with the God of Sleep, Li Yi immediately understood that the mysterious old man who appeared that day surpassed the existence of God for the first time.
So can anything beyond the existence of God still be considered a human being?
In other words, how high must we reach to surpass the gods?
After sitting on the railing of the capital city wall and thinking for a long time, Li Yi jumped down, patted his butt, and regained that faint smile with confidence on his face.
Whether he is a god or a saint, or a super god, he cannot reach that level at this time, and naturally he cannot figure out how to deal with these aloof guys.
But because of this experience, he once again experienced the deep feeling of powerlessness of being inferior to others.
This feeling of powerlessness did not hit him, but instead gave him a fighting spirit.
The reason is that he can see a trace of residual humanity in the mysterious old man, although it is not much. Perhaps it is like a person who is playing on the street and happens to see a group of ants fighting with another group of ants out of curiosity. That’s all.
But, that's not important.
The important thing is that Li Yi can be sure of one thing.
That is, these guys have not always been high. They, or their ancestors, have also climbed from the position of ants to high places step by step, and finally stood at a position that normal people cannot reach, overlooking everything in the world. of.
They can do it, why can't they do it?
What's more, Li Yi dared to conclude that from an extremely tricky perspective, these high-ranking people seemed not to be treated as he was now.
For example, the "gift" given to him by the mysterious old man.
"Bleach! This is so fucking uncomfortable!"
At this time, Li Yizheng was struggling to support his body, sweating like rain, breathing heavily, and a look of pain on his face.
And the reason why he was in this state was entirely due to the "gift" the mysterious old man gave him before he left.
"Bleach! Here we go again!"
Before he had rested for long, an indescribable feeling came over him instantly, making Li Yi shiver unconsciously, and then all the muscles in his body suddenly tightened.
Immediately afterwards, the pain, like being burned by fire, came as expected.
"ah!"
Since this is the third time I have experienced this kind of pain, compared to the unexpectedness of the first time and the violence of the second time, the damage this third time is obviously much smaller. It's like having your soul taken out and placed on the fire. The pain of being burned has also decreased by several points.
But even so, Li Yi couldn't help but screamed in pain. He clenched his hands on the stone wall near the capital, digging out hundreds of deep marks that could be seen just by looking at them. I deeply understand how painful it was for the person who made such marks.
shocking!
You must know that he cannot use the power in his body at this time, because the soul controlling the body is undergoing this kind of torture like being cut into pieces with a thousand knives, and has no time to use the power of the body.
This also means that his actions at this time were just pure physical strength.
You must know that not long ago, this body, which was weaker than ordinary people, was once extremely disliked by Li Yi.
He even used forbidden techniques to strengthen the body, but it still failed to meet the standards in Li Yi's mind.
But now, just a subconscious action can have the same effect as the physical enhancement in mutants.
The body is still like this.
What changes will happen to the soul that has been directly strengthened?
