Why does this imitation seem to be a "back door"... With confusion, Jiang Qian continued to check the information on the Key of Time and Space:
[Name: Key to Time and Space (Consumables)]
[Type: daily necessities]
[Function: Open the door]
[Introduction: An eclectic traveler has created a unique "Gate of Time and Space" in the world that can travel to any time and place. This is the accessory "Key of Time and Space" to the Gate of Time and Space. 】
[Usage: Used to open the door to time and space (each key corresponds to one "travel")]
[Remarks: Doors and keys are indispensable. 】
…
After a brief silence, Jiang Qian quickly clarified the relationship between the replica of the Gate of Time and Space and the Key of Time and Space.
His guess was correct. The imitation door was like opening a backdoor in the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" copy, but the Time and Space Key was a genuine item that could match the real Time and Space Door.
All in all, he did obtain the permission to use the Gate of Time and Space to travel five times.
It is no exaggeration to say that if these 5 usage opportunities are used properly, it is equivalent to 5 death-free gold medals!
It's just that it's expensive and very "dangerous". Dr. Kate's example of being trapped in reincarnation and continuing to create "tragedies" is a good warning.
Jiang Qian secretly made up his mind not to try this method lightly unless absolutely necessary.
Not just himself.
Later, he had to confirm whether the key handed over to Xue Yang came back with him. If so, whether the copy came with a replica of the door... Jiang Qian then checked the last reward item:
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved by
Have the ability to anchor exclusive copies and enter them. Before trying to return to "The End of Hungry Ghosts", you must understand the connection between the Holy Mountain and "The End of the Hungry Ghosts", including why the people in the Holy Mountain have a complete set of strategies for this copy.
At present, the officials are keeping a close eye on Shenshan's eucalyptus. We can take this opportunity to get to the bottom of Shenshan's operations in anchoring dungeons, and maybe even get windfalls from it.
In addition, the anteater opened its nose and "died" in the copy, failing to escape through the gate of time and space.
Jiang Qian estimated that the other party was not really dead and would be arrested when the dungeon was released.
This guy came from the sacred mountain since he was a child, and his operations are as fierce as a tiger. There is a high probability that he will be an important breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qian suddenly felt relaxed that he was about to clear the clouds and see the sun.
Finally, his current attribute information was also listed in front of him:
[Player ID: Qianlong, do not use it]
[Identity Tag: Tang Snake]
[Category: mythical beast]
[Level: Three-state·Fusion (100% experience value)]
[Skills: Spiritual Vision, Poison Resistance, Snake Shadow Sneaking; Venomous Fangs, Poison Sacs, Devouring Creatures; Sneaking, Scale Armor, Wind Control]
…
As expected, the experience points are full.
The small goal of the peak state of the three-state · fusion body was achieved.
In this way, the conditions for participating in the promotion to the powerful are gathered together, and there is no need to worry too much about the gains and losses of the next copy.
But having said that, judging from the current frequency of Jiang Qian's dungeons, there should be one more chance before being promoted to a powerful person. So the question is, won’t the experience points you get when you return home with a full load next time be in vain?
According to the dungeon evolution mechanism, three-state card holders who cannot complete the unified promotion to the powerful will have an experience value of 100%. Even if they clear the dungeon countless times, they will not be able to absorb excess experience points to increase their strength.
This is the "ceiling" limit of ability in the law of evolution.
If you want to break through the ceiling, you must upgrade your status card to a powerful person through "Leaping the Dragon Gate", otherwise no matter how much experience you gain, it will be in vain.
I can't blame the cruel rules entirely, it's because I am too good... Jiang Qian reflected on himself while feeling grateful for the experience points that could not be retained:
"It's a shameful waste. 「
As Jiang Qian reflected, a piece of card information that had been recorded in the chaos came back to his mind - the iced dragon card seemed to have moved?
Perhaps in order to help answer Jiang Qian’s doubts, the updated dragon card information was included in Jiang Qian’s field of vision immediately after the snake card:
[Identity Tag: Dragon] (Frozen)
[Category: mythical beast]
[Level: One state·cognitive body (experience value 25%)]
[Skill: Unknown]
…
The information display ends here.
The texture of the virtual dragon card flashed a golden arc in front of Jiang Qian's eyes, and then disappeared into the darkness.
A familiar call came to my ears.
"Jiang Qian...Jiang Qian?"
It was Ye Xiaojing's voice. The clear girlish voice contained unconcealable anxiety and concern.
Then, Jiang Qian's vision gradually became clearer...
He saw Ye Xiaojing's cold white face appearing in front of him, his delicate facial features turning from vague to clear, and his eyes that never carried a trace of excess emotion were filled with surging emotions, accompanied by calls one after another. The mist between the eyelashes creates a heartbreakingly clear picture.
Everything is similar to what it was like when you were forced into a copy.
But when he left, he fell into Ye Xiaojing's arms, and now, Ye Xiaojing was in front of him, holding his shoulders with both hands, ensuring the balance of his body.
"I'm back."
Jiang Qian spoke in the most ordinary tone.
During the 72 days of the "Apocalypse of Hungry Ghosts", he was looking forward to this moment of "exit" every day.
Ye Xiaojing's movements and breathing stopped for a moment, and then her soft body fell into Jiang Qian's arms... Ye Xiaojing hugged Jiang Qian.
Although it was a momentary excitement, this sudden intimate contact made the emotions she had accumulated over the past three days become clearer.
Passed directly to Jiang Qian.
"Great, just come back..."
There was a hint of restraint in Ye Xiaojing's voice, and Jiang Qian could even detect her trying to calm down her emotions.
This was still the corridor of the hospital's special care ward. There were only a few colleagues standing nearby, but they all had the good sense not to disturb him.
Neither Zhang Bi nor Xue Yang is here.
Jiang Qian raised his hand and crossed Ye Xiaojing's hair hanging in front of his eyes. He saw that his hands were intact and there were no injuries at all.
However, the watch on his wrist had obvious cracks.
He remembered that there were still some things that needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
Jiang Qian's hand paused in mid-air, then touched Ye Xiaojing's back, and slowly tightened his arms.
He whispered softly to her:
"Sister Xiaojing, I can cure you."
Ye Xiaojing was slightly startled.
Jiang Qian's breath was in his ears.
Feeling Jiang Qian's strong arms and strong heartbeat, Ye Xiaojing almost melted at this moment.
But she still tried to calm down her emotions and left Jiang Qian's arms. She stared at Jiang Qian's eyes, and then carefully looked at Jiang Qian from top to bottom. After confirming that he was safe and sound, she returned to her role and reported quickly:
"The Shenshan suspect has just been taken away by the old ape. Xue Yang seemed to be in a coma after being frightened, but he is not seriously injured and has been sent to the ward to rest."
"Am I the last one to return?" Jiang Qian held Ye Xiaojing's hand and stood up.
"Well, you're a few minutes behind them."
So you’re worried to the point of crying? You underestimate me... Jiang Qian shook Ye Xiaojing's hand, stood up and greeted other colleagues who came up to him.
After undergoing routine examinations nearby, Lan Junxian, deputy director of the East China Sea Operations Department, arrived at the hospital.
The gentle and elegant deputy minister burst into tears when he saw Jiang Qian! I am afraid that this outstanding student may have some shortcomings.
Lan Junxian came here to open the nose of the Shenshan suspect, which Jiang Qian had already predicted.
In order to clarify the connection between the Holy Mountain and the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse", as well as the "actions" of the Holy Mountain organization in the dungeon, Jiang Qian took the opportunity to propose to Lan Junxian to participate in the investigation of the Nine-tailed Fox Project in the Holy Mountain, and promised to share the experiences he experienced in the dungeon. All information is shared with the task force to facilitate project advancement.
Lan Junxian readily agreed.
He even called Ji Ming himself, and that was how things happened.
The follow-up matters were in full swing and were carried out according to procedures. Zhang Bi's trial was handled by a special team led by Lan Junxian.
Jiang Qian participated and provided the "bell" as a torture weapon during the torture of Zhang Bi, which made the trial process extremely smooth on that day and enabled the Shenshan Nine-tailed Fox Special Team to achieve an unexpected breakthrough.
Things were busy until evening.
After accompanying Jiang Qian to complete the transcript of the copy of "The End of the Hungry Ghosts", Lan Junxian screened away the others, leaving Jiang Qian alone, and the two had supper together.
"I didn't expect that the players involved in this dungeon would be so complex. It's staggering to think that an organization like Shenshan can actually control a dungeon at this level and know the contents of the dungeon inside and out."
Lan Junxian took off his gold-rimmed glasses, picked up the canned beer, and drank it down roughly.
Jiang Qian echoed:
"Yes, if he had a chance to escape this time, we would have no way of knowing that there are powerful props in the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" copy that can travel through time and space. "
"This may be their ultimate means to save their lives." Lan Junxian nodded, and suddenly looked at Jiang Qian seriously, "You haven't used that prop, have you?"
"No, the risk is too high and unnecessary." Jiang Qian said without thinking.
Lan Junxian nodded thoughtfully.
"By the way, Teacher Lan, does Shenshan have other props with anchoring functions? In addition to anchoring props, is there any other way to enter the fixed dungeon? I'm worried that people from Shenshan will use this dungeon many times to continue to implement possible A means of getting away with it."
This question was actually asked by Jiang Qian for himself.
Before returning to the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse", he must make sure that this copy is still safe and secret.
Lan Junxian showed a relieved smile: "They can't get in."
"Why?"
Lan Junxian said with a hint of regret:
"An abnormality occurred in the ant nest props the day before yesterday. Among the hundreds of copies connected to the ant nest, one copy suddenly lost contact and has not been heard from since."
"We didn't know the specific situation when this incident was discovered. Until Zhang Bi's interrogation tonight, our people used the prop usage method he confessed to connect to the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" for verification, but the connection failed. After many tests, it was confirmed that it was the copy that lost contact rather than improper operation methods. "
"This shows that the previously lost copy is most likely the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" that you have just experienced. "
Lan Junxian said, patted Jiang Qian's shoulder, and smiled helplessly:
"As for how it lost contact...Jiang Qian, I don't think you need to be modest."
"I?"
Jiang Qian pointed at himself, with an innocent look on his face:
"Why am I being modest? What does this have to do with me?"
Lan Junxian coughed lightly and said with a half-smile, "I don't need to mention your kid's criminal record, right?"
Jiang Qian also laughed and did not defend himself.
"Based on my teaching experience over the years, I speculate that the reason why this "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" lost contact may be related to the cracking of one of the hidden missions "Nightmare Reincarnation". "
When talking about professional topics, Lan Junxian's interest and desire to share instantly soared, and he began to seriously "answer doubts" for his protégé:
"Let's return to the essence of the problem: Why does this "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" exist? Have you ever thought about it? "
Jiang Qian was all ears.
"In my opinion, this "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" is an indelible "shadow" formed by Dr. Kate's use of the Gate of Time and Space. Kate continues to use the portal of time and space to go back to the past and try to change the opportunities, but it only creates worse consequences. He returned again and again, forming reincarnations of "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" copies one after another. "
"It stands to reason that in this copy, only when Dr. Kate enters the Gate of Time and Space again can the closed loop of the world be formed. If Dr. Kate gives up entering the Gate of Time and Space due to some factors, then a link in the causal chain of reincarnation will be missing. , this world "doesn't exist". "
Lan Junxian spread his hands as he spoke, expressing his understanding of Jiang Qian's "mistake":
"I believe you didn't do it on purpose. After all, it won't do you any good, right?"
Jiang Qian looked out the window calmly.
The night is already dark.
"fair enough."
Lan Junxian suddenly said with emotion:
"Let the gate of time and space fall silent with the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse". It's not necessarily a good thing if this kind of prop comes to the world, it might even be a disaster. "
"Teacher Lan, it's getting late. I want to go back to the hospital to see my friend. He just escaped death today and was very frightened."
Jiang Qian stood up and asked to leave.
Lan Junxian nodded and watched his proud disciple leave.
When Jiang Qian reached the door, he stopped him again:
"After going through this dungeon, you've gained enough experience in the three states. Have you figured out your family's intentions?"
…
Ye Xiaojing drove to the hospital with Jiang Qian.
After picking up Xue Yang, the three of them went straight back to the apartment. Xue Yang finally moved into the room that Jiang Qian had prepared for him in advance.
"Wow~ Lao Jiang, your place is nice! Did you rent the whole thing?"
"Consumption of public funds is compliant and reasonable."
"Bullshit!" Xue Yang walked around the room, looking a little nervous and cramped.
"I'm going to make some food." Ye Xiaojing said.
She did not ask about the two people's experiences in the copy at all, and turned around to leave the two of them a separate space for communication.
But Xue Yang still looked frightened.
"How's it going?" Jiang Qian closed the door, turned around and looked at
Xue Yang.
Xue Yang took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Qian: "Just after you left, someone came in and asked me about my experience in the dungeon. They asked me in great detail..."
"Well," Jiang Qian calmly sat down next to Xue Yang, "have you told the truth?"
"According to your instructions, part of it is to tell the truth and part of it is reserved."
"for example?"
"For example, the dungeon reward part, this belongs to the player's personal privacy, so I didn't say a word."
This is the official thing. In most cases, things are done according to the rules... Jiang Qian nodded calmly.
Seeing that Jiang Qian had no special reaction, Xue Yang was relieved. When he looked at Jiang Qian again, the nervousness in his eyes was gradually replaced by excitement:
"Old Jiang, I...I evolved!"
…
PS:
Typos and flaws will be corrected first.
