You didn't follow the routine at all, did you?
Chapter 234 The strategy is complete!
Chapter 234 strategy completed! (Wanzi! Thank you [Flawless and Pure White Xueyao] for the [-] reward!)
The dull bell echoed in the desert for a long time.
The blood-red giant clock gradually disappeared, and the night sky regained a little brightness.
The dim stars shimmered, and half of the pale moon hung across the sky, with a shallow arc, like the corner of a god's mocking mouth.
"Xia Leng?!"
Xia Ling was dizzy from the sound of the bell, and after a brief loss of consciousness, when she came back to her senses, she saw Xia Leng and Cheng Cheng turning into dust in front of her.
Whether it is the magic circle or the emperor's divine brilliance, they have not been able to resist the slightest effect.
Xia Ling's eyes were wide open, her gaze was dull, and she let the sand formed by Xia Leng and Cheng Cheng be blown onto her body by the wind.
She couldn't understand why the bell sounded so terrifying.
That's summer cold...
With nearly 300 points in total attributes, one of the strongest players in the Pure Land game, was instantly knocked out by the ringing of the bell, leaving no room for resistance.
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 Litou and others, more than a hundred people had all their defensive skills fully activated, and then they all turned into sand under the sound of the bell, and they dispersed when the wind blew.
The goddess probably also knew that she could not resist, nor could she protect Mr. Prophet, so when she noticed the appearance of the giant clock and was sure that this was the death knell of Dust, she chose to fight with her life, but in the end she couldn't change anything.
Compared to this result, Yuyuko was even more puzzled, why didn't he die this time?
Looking back, Mr. Prophet is still there, and Xia Ling is also there.
Only Xia Leng and Cheng Cheng 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 that she didn't hold on for even a second, the impact on her was really big.
But fortunately, it's just a game, and the shock is the shock, so I won't cry like a newcomer.
Youyouzi suddenly said: "Could it be because of divinity?"
Last time she was knocked down by the bell, but not this time, Xia Leng is higher than her in terms of attributes, so it must have nothing to do with attributes.
Besides attributes, compared to before, her greatest growth now is the divinity brought to her by Mr. Prophet.
The first pass of the Ω dungeon happened to be the three of them. Although Yuyuko hadn’t asked about Gu Chi’s matters, she had all of them who had achieved that achievement. Mr. Prophet and his personal maid, who had no reason to clear the level normally, were instead no?
This was the only reasonable explanation Yuyuko could think of.
Gu Chi frowned.
He also thought of this possibility, but logic told him it shouldn't be so.
The current gate to the Kingdom of God has become a death knell of dust.
If clearing the Dust Knell really gives divinity, if there is no divinity and you can't clear the Dust Knell, wouldn't this be an endless loop?
The divinity of the three of them is still given by the Omega achievement, which is even more outrageous.
Only by clearing Ω, are you eligible to come back and play SS?
This is not reasonable.
Gu Chi does not deny that divinity may indeed have a resistive effect on the bell, but this is definitely not a normal way to deal with it.
Thousands of dungeons, the three of them alone can't fight, there must be other survival methods with lower thresholds.
"Has anyone resisted 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.
Difficulty keys are required to enter Dust Knell, and the cost is not low, and the same player continuously enters the same copy to have CDs, and there must be an interval of more than 7 days. A bad group does not have the financial resources, and there is no time to control variables and conduct a lot of experiments. Where 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 rang the next day.
A precious chance of resurrection was only exchanged for 24 hours of survival in the end, and the information was not found much, so it can be said that a life was wasted.
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 say for sure what is behind the first mechanism.
This is also one of the main reasons why their first kill pioneer group eventually turned into a bad group.
The authorities have no idea, what can they do?
Anyway, if you don't fight, you won't come to reality, so why bother with yourself?
It is more comfortable to go to the third floor to wash your feet if you have this time to die and waste money.
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 blown away the sand that Xia Leng had turned into while speaking.
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, decided to ignore the common ground for the time being, and said, "We have 24 hours to look for tasks."
The important thing now is not how to resist the first bell, they have already survived, what is important is that there will be bells next.
Yuyuko also didn't know much about Dust's death knell, so she couldn't be sure whether the bell toll tomorrow night would be exactly the same as tonight's toll. The way of the bell is to fight for more survival time.
It is true that the gate of the Kingdom of God is a dynamic difficulty, but even if it is calculated at five times the difficulty of a single player, throwing them into the death knell of dust is too exaggerated.
The factors that determine the difficulty level of a copy are not only the task and time limit, but also the number of players.
Playing with 1000 players in a 5-player game is at least 200 times more difficult. Even if the Gate of the Kingdom of God itself is an SS or even an SSS, it shouldn't be so outrageous.
Gu Chi prefers to believe that Death Knell Dust only appeared as a map of the Gate of the Kingdom of God, and their mission marked as "???" , you can clear the copy.
From this point of view, the single-player Difficulty of the 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 of them, the dungeon 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 itself is not difficult, the difficulty is how to cross the line of fire.
Logic tells Gu Chi that the map of Dust and Death Knell should take up a lot of difficulty in the difficulty of the Gate of the Kingdom of God this time. The instant death mechanism that comes quickly after entering the book and will appear repeatedly is already the SS of a thousand people. 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 version of Dust Knell, if it is, it can be played directly.
But he doesn't like to pose.
He is still waiting to improve his divinity to do great things. Even if there is a slight possibility of passing the level, Gu Chi will not lie down and die.
"Let's go to the NPC first."
Time was running out, Gu Chi didn't hesitate much, after clearing his mind, he took the two girls and disappeared into the night.
……
According to Youyouzi's memory, the three of Gu Chi came to the east of the Wailing Desert.
This is the direction of sunrise, the closest place to Hope.
The desert was too big, and Gu Chi brought people with him, so he couldn't get there 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 2000 kilometers long.
If there is no language spirit, it will take a lot of time just to find the town, and there may be unknown dangers on the way.
Finding a way in such a desert is better than crossing the line of fire.
"That's it." Yuyuko finally aligned the dust knell in his memory with everything in front of him.
She has never been to the city wall, but she remembers the shape of these towns, each of them is square, like a prison.
I don't know if it is a psychological effect, but there is indeed a lot of desolation here.
The towns at the end of the horizon lit up like a cluster of broad and low lighthouses, guiding travelers lost in the desert.
"It's much easier now." Xia Ling breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there are living people, they can 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, and we might not be able to fight them if the goddess is not around."
The birth points of players in Dust Knell are some distance away from the town. This distance is the reason why many teams are wiped out.
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden throbbing under everyone's feet, and the surrounding gravel trembled, making a rustling sound.
"Be careful!" Youyouzi was the first to react, and hurriedly dragged Gu Chi and Xia Ling back.
"Roar!" As soon as they got out of the way, the sand collapsed into a vortex, and a giant earthworm-like creature covered in yellow sand roared out from the ground. Its body was 20 meters long and its head was completely It was a mouth full of blood, and the sharp hooked teeth were sticky with putrid thick green liquid, which stretched up and down, and it was afraid that a building could be bitten off with one bite.
"Farewell!" Youyouzi only pulled the two of them back more than ten meters, but Gu Chi led the two girls back more than ten kilometers.
He didn't even mean to test at all, and ran 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 has no intention of fighting, doesn't even use his legs to run. He programmed his language and used teleportation to activate the teleportation. He took a step forward and flashed more than ten times in a row. In the blink of an eye, the giant earthworm even looked at his taillights. Not anymore.
The movement under the sand stopped abruptly.
It popped its head out, turned its stinky mouth 360 degrees, finally roared unwillingly, and burrowed back.
The night returned to silence.
There are many quicksand vortices along the way, all of which appeared after the three of Gu Chi stopped for a short time, but they were limited to the vortexes, and nothing rushed out.
The three of Gu Chi soon came to a town.
The architectural style in the town is very strange, mostly low bungalows with spikes protruding from the roof of the eaves, 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 whole town is a square with sharp edges and corners, resembling a colonial territory in the ancient European period. A circle of York City Wall was built around it, and there was a circular bastion at each of the four corners, with a brazier standing on it. This is what Gu Chi and others saw before " lighthouse".
Apart from that, there is no other light source in the city.
The streets were empty, and no one could be seen. It seemed that all the residents had turned off their lights and went to sleep.
"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 the outside.
These towns can exist safely in the whining desert full of dangers, which shows that they have a certain "restraint" effect on those monsters in the sand. Maybe they are the "safe zone" for players in the dungeon of Dust Death Knell?
Yuyuko observed the houses on the side of the road, and she could hear the sound of breathing coming from the houses.
People are alive, which is the most reassuring thing about sneaking into a town at night.
"You said, will we meet other players?" Yuyuko suddenly thought of a point.
After the new version, the death knell of Dust has changed from an active dungeon to an official dungeon. If you don’t play it, it will come. The reward for the first pass on Dragon Blade has also been distributed to various guilds. As a result, everyone is very enthusiastic about land reclamation. Maybe you can meet fellow villagers Woolen cloth.
Gu Chi shook his head: "It's unlikely, Dust Knell is an independent copy, the timeline has been fixed, ours is random, it's not so easy to come across, but..."
Gu Chi paused, then said, "We can try."
This is the convenience of Spiritual Words. Whether it is rushing or finding 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 run away with the Zonda.
And if you can't escape, you will most likely die. A group will have to fight for half a day. 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.
"You keep it the whole time." Gu Chi knew the habits of girls, so he simply gave himself and Xia Ling an anti-hidden BUFF.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't go up, this time, Gu Chi was taken aback.
A disheveled, dry and pale face appeared in front of his eyes without warning.
Her eye sockets were black, and her pupils were clouded with bloodshot eyes, and she stared at him almost face to face.
"Fuck!"
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 she was also close to her. They wandered around the city for a while, but they didn't notice any dirty things following them.
At this moment, Xia Ling's hairs stood on end, and when she took out the dagger, there was a flash of thunder.
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 unharmed.
Yuyuko was confused: "What are you doing?"
"Who are you?" Gu Chi didn't answer, he quickly calmed down, stared at the woman and asked, and at the same time gave You Youzi an anti-hidden BUFF.
Yuyuko: "!!!"
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 hoarsely: "You are not from here...None of you are."
Gu Chi neither admitted nor denied: "Why do you assume our origin?"
The woman said: "You are too weak."
It seems that there is no desire to attack?Gu Chi sneered: "It means you are very strong? Then why did you become what you are now?"
woman:"……"
She was silent, indicating that this state was not her original appearance.
Is it a ghost that he became after he died?
Gu Chi is testing the woman's attitude towards the player, whether it is an enemy or a friend.
After "fucking", he added a teleportation to himself, ready to run away at any time.
The woman spoke again after a while, with a soft sigh: "My name is Natalya."
Gu Chi: "My name is Dr. Chen."
Xia Ling: "Chen Tiantian."
Yuyuko: "Chen Meili."
Natalya's haggard eyes revealed some doubts: "Are you a family?"
Gu Chi nodded: "Yes, we're here to travel."
"Then you really know how to choose a place." Natalya's tone was slightly mocking, "People like you can live through the night because of the blessing of the god of luck. You should go back early, so as not to die in a foreign land."
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: "..."
Yuyuko quietly hid her hands behind her back and put on a sunny smile: "Senior Natalya, what exactly is this place?"
"My hometown." Natalya said, "It's now called the Land of the Gods."
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 calendars ago, here was a prosperous kingdom of God.
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 a powerful divinity, and everyone has the possibility to become a god.
Their kingdom of God has unlimited potential.
It is foreseeable that as long as they are given enough time, they will definitely become the overlord of one party and sweep 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 of extinction has come quietly.
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 God is too fragile and small.
On that day, a total of twelve old gods brought their gods and people to this world.
No negotiation, not even superfluous words.
Just a death sentence for everything they were and are in a faint word.
"kill."
This is a war without suspense.
They can't resist the power of an old god, let alone twelve?
Their heroes and leaders were mercilessly obliterated by the old gods, blood and fire destroyed their homes, countless people died in pain and wailing, and the whole world became blood-red.
Only then did Natalya realize that they had never escaped the shackles of fate.
It's just that I have been lingering for a few years.
Being knocked down when full of hope, such an ending is more hopeless and sad than fending for itself.
Their kingdom of God has since become a prison full of yellow sand.
Those who survived the war were all imprisoned here, listening to the lingering bell ringing like a nightmare day and night.
The cruel old gods took turns to ring the bells, trying to use the bells to obliterate their divinity little by little, and completely eradicate the possibility of their resurgence.
They know very well what it means to cut the grass and root out the roots.
"Haven't you ever thought of running away?" Yuyuko asked.
"Escape?" Natalya's throat was dry, "Where are you going to escape?"
Today, there is very little of their divinity left, and even the most inferior old god pets guarding them outside the city have higher divinity than them.
They have nowhere to go.
Xia Ling opened her personal panel and found that, as Natalya said, her divine experience had changed from 0/100 to -10/100.
It's just that the achievement bonus is not included in the base value, so her divinity level remains unchanged at level 1.
If it's a normal upgraded divinity, it's already downgraded by now.
Natalya whispered: "Losing divinity and turning into dust, becoming part of this world, maybe this is our destined destiny."
Gu Chi didn't believe in this thing: "Fate 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 girls: "You don't believe in fate either?" Yuyuko replied without thinking, "No."
If she had believed in fate, she would not have run away from home in the first place.
Xia Ling looked at Gu Chi, her eyebrows and eyes curved: "I quite believe it."
In other words, she is satisfied with her current life and is willing to submit to the arrangement of fate.
"Wait." Gu Chi suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why did the topic of fate suddenly come up?
What he said could be attributed to casual conversation, but why did Natalya specifically 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 already 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."
After the voice fell, the whole world seemed to freeze at this moment.
"when!"
A dull bell rang from afar.
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 the girl die in front of his eyes, but he was unable to make any movements, not even moving his lips.
His current strength is not at the same level as "Nataya".
[The player "fish in the pool" died, the mission failed, the number of remaining players: 2]
At the same time, another system prompt popped up.
[Current copy task refresh]
[Ultimate goal: experience three bell rings and survive (2/3)]
The bell rang twice 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 that they said that the second bell rang on the second night..." Seeing Xia Ling die, Youyouzi was so anxious that he 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, signaling 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.
Xia Ling was holding a dagger to guard against Natalya one second, and laughed from the bottom of her heart the next second.
It wasn't that they relaxed their vigilance, it was that Natalya's voice possessed a deceptive power that drove them to answer.
The white moon in the night sky still looks like a mocking smile.
Gu Chi couldn't remember exactly how long it had been since he entered the book, and he didn't know how long it would be until dawn.
They couldn't bring in watches from outside, and there were no temporary props like mobile phones. Even the game timing 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 because of the difficulty, they came to the timeline where the death knell of Dust rang twice a night.
No matter what, you can't blame Yuyuko.
So far, Dust 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 been directly related to the gods, and anything can happen .
"We're still one bell away. We just need to hear it again, and we'll pass the level, and we'll have our divinity." Gu Chi never mentioned Xia Ling.
The sudden change made the situation a bit bad. This dungeon doesn’t feel long at all. Gu Chi really didn’t think how long it had passed. They even teleported on their way, but this kind of sense of loss of control could happen at any time , put enough pressure on them.
The oppression and anxiety brought about by continuous downsizing in a short period of time are stronger than being stuck 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 and adjust our state." Gu Chi said decisively.
Yuyuko: "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.
"when!"
But this time, neither of them 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 was walking, he was observing the houses under the night light. As he walked, he suddenly felt someone staring at him.
He looked up and saw two figures appearing at the corner in front of him.
Gu Chi took a breath.
With the faint moonlight, he could clearly see their faces.
That was another him and Yuyuko.
Gu Chi turned his head and found that the girl beside him had disappeared at some point.
"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.
"That's right, it's an illusion, but it's a pity you can't get out."
"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 words to expand his perception to the maximum, trying to find out this "god", but the level was too far away, and he couldn't feel the existence of the other party at all.
"Don't look for me, it's useless to find it, it will only make you die faster."
"Where's my companion?"
"Isn't it right in front of your eyes?"
"Gu Chi" and "Youyouzi" had already walked in front of Gu Chi.
Both of them had no expression on their faces, and their eyes were empty, like two puppets with empty bodies and no thinking.
Seeing an identical self, Gu Chi didn't feel terrified, but asked: "I mean the real her."
The voice smiled: "It's okay to tell you, she is in another illusion, facing the same choice as you."
Gu Chi: "Choose?"
"Yes, choose." The voice said, "You have a knife in your hand."
After finishing speaking, 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. For the living, I allow him to leave the illusion."
Gu Chi didn't move: "You gods are all this boring?"
"Don't worry, there is another condition." The voice said, "No matter who you choose to kill, you must cut his skin and stab his body with a knife. He can't die within nine times, otherwise another People will be buried with him."
"In order to make things more enjoyable, I will allow you to repent in the process. You can change your mind at any time and end your companion's life."
"As 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 fun?"
He was like a spectator in the stands, and there was already a hint of eagerness 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 already ring the giant bell?" Gu Chi asked suddenly, "I didn't hear it because I entered the illusion?"
"You are so smart?" He pretended to be surprised, "Then why don't you guess how your companion will choose?"
Gu Chi said in relief: "You count."
How Youyouzi will choose does not need to be guessed, but this is the third ringing of the bell, which makes Gu Chi feel relaxed.
He had already secretly tried to break the illusion, but it didn't work.
All instructions regarding the illusion and the other party cannot take effect. This should be a real god.
Even if not, the strength is far beyond him and Youyuzi, they have no room to resist.
It's better to end it earlier, so as to save him a lot of brainwork.
Youyuzi opened this gate to the kingdom of God, if only one person can get the reward, he will not compete with the girl.
"one."
Gu Chi is not afraid of pain.
He closed his eyes and hypnotized himself, temporarily closing off his senses.
"two."
All he had to do was to kill himself with nine knives before Yuyuko could do anything, and let the girl pass the level.
"three."
So when the "three" fell, Gu Chi also said, "Sure."
【Tao Yun-104】
This is an interspace lock that crosses the illusion. In addition, Youyuzi's attributes are too high, and Dao Yun consumes a lot.
And this is a step-up control, you can't hold Youyouzi for too long, maybe it doesn't take half a second for Youyouzi to break free.
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.
Yuyuko's movement of raising her hand to stab herself stopped abruptly.
There was a sudden sharp pain in 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?"
Yuyuko stared blankly at the wound on her stomach.
next second.
"Hey!"
Gu Chi opened "his" thigh.
A deep bone-deep wound appeared on Youyouzi's leg, which almost made her stand unsteadily.
Blood flowed down her legs and dripped onto the mossy floor like bright flowers blooming.
At the same time, the screen in front of Youyuko's eyes 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 splashed blood stained the girl's snow-white neck and cheeks red.
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, mockingly said: "You seem to have guessed wrong."
"But it doesn't matter, you can still choose to do it."
"I'm giving you a privilege now, you only need one knife to kill him."
"Cut off his head, pierce his heart, whatever."
"Anyway, he chose to kill you, and you are not worth dying for him, are you?"
Gu Chi stabbed "myself" in the waist for the fourth time.
This knife was stabbed for Xia Leng, so it could be regarded as venting his anger for Xia Leng.
At this time, Gu Chi's red knife came in, and the red knife came out, completely unaware that there was another possibility besides the truth of the gods.
He knows too little about gods, or in other words, no player understands gods.
They have no access, no chance to understand.
Most gods keep their word, are cold-blooded and arrogant. They usually disdain lying, with the exception of one god.
He is called a fool.
"Bang."
Yuyuko loosened her right hand feebly, letting the knife fall to the ground.
She chose to give up the so-called "privilege".
She lowered her head and watched Gu Chi stab into her body one after another, crushing her own flesh and blood.
The God of Fools said unexpectedly: "You won't kill him?"
"Hey!"
Fifth cut.
"Why should I kill him?" Yuyuko 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 You can't lie to me, Mr. Prophet will not kill me."
God of Fools: "Then what is he doing now?"
Youyouzi: "Mr. Prophet taught me that seeing is not necessarily believing."
God of Fools: "You are fooling yourself."
The seventh knife.
"Uh... so what?" Yuyuko endured the pain in his upper abdomen, and said indifferently, "Even if he really wants to kill me, let him kill me, is there any hesitation? There is one thing you may still I don't know..."
Youyouzi's pupils glowed red, and he raised his bloody palm to his face, stuck out his tongue and licked it, and said with a little excitement, "I like blood the most, especially the blood that Mister Prophet personally made."
God of Fools: "?"
The eighth knife.
Gu Chi cut his own 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 knife.
Last time I got a fake one for Yuyuko, this time I can get the real one.
He precisely pierced the tip of the knife into the chest cavity of another self, twisted the bone with force, cut a bloody hole, then stretched his hand in, and took out the heart intact.
Youyouzi was trembling all over, all the blood on his face was gone, and his vitality was rapidly fading away.
Even her pupils lost their color, yet she was still smiling.
She has always been the one who takes other people's hearts, and it is a bit novel to be taken by others for the first time.
It turned out that it was a wonderful thing to die at the hands of Mr. Prophet.
Mr. Prophet gave her a heart before, and now she is giving it back to him, which is considered a courtesy.
Mr. Prophet should like it, right?
As for divinity...
Who cares?
It's just a pity that I can't clear the level with Mr. Prophet...
"Boom."
Yuyuko fell down.
"It's boring."
The God of Fools suddenly felt a little bored when he saw the girl 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.
The white moon in the sky reappeared.
This time it's a full moon.
Gu Chi returned to reality, the imaginary suffocation 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 against the white moon.
And in the pool of blood, there lay a girl covered in wounds and smiling.
Even if Gu Chi's psychological quality is strong enough, his eyes widened at this moment, and he stayed where he was.
"faint……?"
How could she die? ?
Youyouzi could no longer speak, and the only answer to Gu Chi was the system prompt.
[Player "Yuyuko" died, mission failed, number of remaining players: 1]
[The guide for "Gate of God's Kingdom: Dust Knell" is completed! 】
【Reward settlement in progress...】
……
Ask for a monthly pass!
(End of this chapter)
The dull bell echoed in the desert for a long time.
The blood-red giant clock gradually disappeared, and the night sky regained a little brightness.
The dim stars shimmered, and half of the pale moon hung across the sky, with a shallow arc, like the corner of a god's mocking mouth.
"Xia Leng?!"
Xia Ling was dizzy from the sound of the bell, and after a brief loss of consciousness, when she came back to her senses, she saw Xia Leng and Cheng Cheng turning into dust in front of her.
Whether it is the magic circle or the emperor's divine brilliance, they have not been able to resist the slightest effect.
Xia Ling's eyes were wide open, her gaze was dull, and she let the sand formed by Xia Leng and Cheng Cheng be blown onto her body by the wind.
She couldn't understand why the bell sounded so terrifying.
That's summer cold...
With nearly 300 points in total attributes, one of the strongest players in the Pure Land game, was instantly knocked out by the ringing of the bell, leaving no room for resistance.
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 Litou and others, more than a hundred people had all their defensive skills fully activated, and then they all turned into sand under the sound of the bell, and they dispersed when the wind blew.
The goddess probably also knew that she could not resist, nor could she protect Mr. Prophet, so when she noticed the appearance of the giant clock and was sure that this was the death knell of Dust, she chose to fight with her life, but in the end she couldn't change anything.
Compared to this result, Yuyuko was even more puzzled, why didn't he die this time?
Looking back, Mr. Prophet is still there, and Xia Ling is also there.
Only Xia Leng and Cheng Cheng 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 that she didn't hold on for even a second, the impact on her was really big.
But fortunately, it's just a game, and the shock is the shock, so I won't cry like a newcomer.
Youyouzi suddenly said: "Could it be because of divinity?"
Last time she was knocked down by the bell, but not this time, Xia Leng is higher than her in terms of attributes, so it must have nothing to do with attributes.
Besides attributes, compared to before, her greatest growth now is the divinity brought to her by Mr. Prophet.
The first pass of the Ω dungeon happened to be the three of them. Although Yuyuko hadn’t asked about Gu Chi’s matters, she had all of them who had achieved that achievement. Mr. Prophet and his personal maid, who had no reason to clear the level normally, were instead no?
This was the only reasonable explanation Yuyuko could think of.
Gu Chi frowned.
He also thought of this possibility, but logic told him it shouldn't be so.
The current gate to the Kingdom of God has become a death knell of dust.
If clearing the Dust Knell really gives divinity, if there is no divinity and you can't clear the Dust Knell, wouldn't this be an endless loop?
The divinity of the three of them is still given by the Omega achievement, which is even more outrageous.
Only by clearing Ω, are you eligible to come back and play SS?
This is not reasonable.
Gu Chi does not deny that divinity may indeed have a resistive effect on the bell, but this is definitely not a normal way to deal with it.
Thousands of dungeons, the three of them alone can't fight, there must be other survival methods with lower thresholds.
"Has anyone resisted 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.
Difficulty keys are required to enter Dust Knell, and the cost is not low, and the same player continuously enters the same copy to have CDs, and there must be an interval of more than 7 days. A bad group does not have the financial resources, and there is no time to control variables and conduct a lot of experiments. Where 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 rang the next day.
A precious chance of resurrection was only exchanged for 24 hours of survival in the end, and the information was not found much, so it can be said that a life was wasted.
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 say for sure what is behind the first mechanism.
This is also one of the main reasons why their first kill pioneer group eventually turned into a bad group.
The authorities have no idea, what can they do?
Anyway, if you don't fight, you won't come to reality, so why bother with yourself?
It is more comfortable to go to the third floor to wash your feet if you have this time to die and waste money.
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 blown away the sand that Xia Leng had turned into while speaking.
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, decided to ignore the common ground for the time being, and said, "We have 24 hours to look for tasks."
The important thing now is not how to resist the first bell, they have already survived, what is important is that there will be bells next.
Yuyuko also didn't know much about Dust's death knell, so she couldn't be sure whether the bell toll tomorrow night would be exactly the same as tonight's toll. The way of the bell is to fight for more survival time.
It is true that the gate of the Kingdom of God is a dynamic difficulty, but even if it is calculated at five times the difficulty of a single player, throwing them into the death knell of dust is too exaggerated.
The factors that determine the difficulty level of a copy are not only the task and time limit, but also the number of players.
Playing with 1000 players in a 5-player game is at least 200 times more difficult. Even if the Gate of the Kingdom of God itself is an SS or even an SSS, it shouldn't be so outrageous.
Gu Chi prefers to believe that Death Knell Dust only appeared as a map of the Gate of the Kingdom of God, and their mission marked as "???" , you can clear the copy.
From this point of view, the single-player Difficulty of the 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 of them, the dungeon 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 itself is not difficult, the difficulty is how to cross the line of fire.
Logic tells Gu Chi that the map of Dust and Death Knell should take up a lot of difficulty in the difficulty of the Gate of the Kingdom of God this time. The instant death mechanism that comes quickly after entering the book and will appear repeatedly is already the SS of a thousand people. 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 version of Dust Knell, if it is, it can be played directly.
But he doesn't like to pose.
He is still waiting to improve his divinity to do great things. Even if there is a slight possibility of passing the level, Gu Chi will not lie down and die.
"Let's go to the NPC first."
Time was running out, Gu Chi didn't hesitate much, after clearing his mind, he took the two girls and disappeared into the night.
……
According to Youyouzi's memory, the three of Gu Chi came to the east of the Wailing Desert.
This is the direction of sunrise, the closest place to Hope.
The desert was too big, and Gu Chi brought people with him, so he couldn't get there 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 2000 kilometers long.
If there is no language spirit, it will take a lot of time just to find the town, and there may be unknown dangers on the way.
Finding a way in such a desert is better than crossing the line of fire.
"That's it." Yuyuko finally aligned the dust knell in his memory with everything in front of him.
She has never been to the city wall, but she remembers the shape of these towns, each of them is square, like a prison.
I don't know if it is a psychological effect, but there is indeed a lot of desolation here.
The towns at the end of the horizon lit up like a cluster of broad and low lighthouses, guiding travelers lost in the desert.
"It's much easier now." Xia Ling breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there are living people, they can 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, and we might not be able to fight them if the goddess is not around."
The birth points of players in Dust Knell are some distance away from the town. This distance is the reason why many teams are wiped out.
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden throbbing under everyone's feet, and the surrounding gravel trembled, making a rustling sound.
"Be careful!" Youyouzi was the first to react, and hurriedly dragged Gu Chi and Xia Ling back.
"Roar!" As soon as they got out of the way, the sand collapsed into a vortex, and a giant earthworm-like creature covered in yellow sand roared out from the ground. Its body was 20 meters long and its head was completely It was a mouth full of blood, and the sharp hooked teeth were sticky with putrid thick green liquid, which stretched up and down, and it was afraid that a building could be bitten off with one bite.
"Farewell!" Youyouzi only pulled the two of them back more than ten meters, but Gu Chi led the two girls back more than ten kilometers.
He didn't even mean to test at all, and ran 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 has no intention of fighting, doesn't even use his legs to run. He programmed his language and used teleportation to activate the teleportation. He took a step forward and flashed more than ten times in a row. In the blink of an eye, the giant earthworm even looked at his taillights. Not anymore.
The movement under the sand stopped abruptly.
It popped its head out, turned its stinky mouth 360 degrees, finally roared unwillingly, and burrowed back.
The night returned to silence.
There are many quicksand vortices along the way, all of which appeared after the three of Gu Chi stopped for a short time, but they were limited to the vortexes, and nothing rushed out.
The three of Gu Chi soon came to a town.
The architectural style in the town is very strange, mostly low bungalows with spikes protruding from the roof of the eaves, 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 whole town is a square with sharp edges and corners, resembling a colonial territory in the ancient European period. A circle of York City Wall was built around it, and there was a circular bastion at each of the four corners, with a brazier standing on it. This is what Gu Chi and others saw before " lighthouse".
Apart from that, there is no other light source in the city.
The streets were empty, and no one could be seen. It seemed that all the residents had turned off their lights and went to sleep.
"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 the outside.
These towns can exist safely in the whining desert full of dangers, which shows that they have a certain "restraint" effect on those monsters in the sand. Maybe they are the "safe zone" for players in the dungeon of Dust Death Knell?
Yuyuko observed the houses on the side of the road, and she could hear the sound of breathing coming from the houses.
People are alive, which is the most reassuring thing about sneaking into a town at night.
"You said, will we meet other players?" Yuyuko suddenly thought of a point.
After the new version, the death knell of Dust has changed from an active dungeon to an official dungeon. If you don’t play it, it will come. The reward for the first pass on Dragon Blade has also been distributed to various guilds. As a result, everyone is very enthusiastic about land reclamation. Maybe you can meet fellow villagers Woolen cloth.
Gu Chi shook his head: "It's unlikely, Dust Knell is an independent copy, the timeline has been fixed, ours is random, it's not so easy to come across, but..."
Gu Chi paused, then said, "We can try."
This is the convenience of Spiritual Words. Whether it is rushing or finding 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 run away with the Zonda.
And if you can't escape, you will most likely die. A group will have to fight for half a day. 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.
"You keep it the whole time." Gu Chi knew the habits of girls, so he simply gave himself and Xia Ling an anti-hidden BUFF.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't go up, this time, Gu Chi was taken aback.
A disheveled, dry and pale face appeared in front of his eyes without warning.
Her eye sockets were black, and her pupils were clouded with bloodshot eyes, and she stared at him almost face to face.
"Fuck!"
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 she was also close to her. They wandered around the city for a while, but they didn't notice any dirty things following them.
At this moment, Xia Ling's hairs stood on end, and when she took out the dagger, there was a flash of thunder.
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 unharmed.
Yuyuko was confused: "What are you doing?"
"Who are you?" Gu Chi didn't answer, he quickly calmed down, stared at the woman and asked, and at the same time gave You Youzi an anti-hidden BUFF.
Yuyuko: "!!!"
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 hoarsely: "You are not from here...None of you are."
Gu Chi neither admitted nor denied: "Why do you assume our origin?"
The woman said: "You are too weak."
It seems that there is no desire to attack?Gu Chi sneered: "It means you are very strong? Then why did you become what you are now?"
woman:"……"
She was silent, indicating that this state was not her original appearance.
Is it a ghost that he became after he died?
Gu Chi is testing the woman's attitude towards the player, whether it is an enemy or a friend.
After "fucking", he added a teleportation to himself, ready to run away at any time.
The woman spoke again after a while, with a soft sigh: "My name is Natalya."
Gu Chi: "My name is Dr. Chen."
Xia Ling: "Chen Tiantian."
Yuyuko: "Chen Meili."
Natalya's haggard eyes revealed some doubts: "Are you a family?"
Gu Chi nodded: "Yes, we're here to travel."
"Then you really know how to choose a place." Natalya's tone was slightly mocking, "People like you can live through the night because of the blessing of the god of luck. You should go back early, so as not to die in a foreign land."
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: "..."
Yuyuko quietly hid her hands behind her back and put on a sunny smile: "Senior Natalya, what exactly is this place?"
"My hometown." Natalya said, "It's now called the Land of the Gods."
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 calendars ago, here was a prosperous kingdom of God.
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 a powerful divinity, and everyone has the possibility to become a god.
Their kingdom of God has unlimited potential.
It is foreseeable that as long as they are given enough time, they will definitely become the overlord of one party and sweep 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 of extinction has come quietly.
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 God is too fragile and small.
On that day, a total of twelve old gods brought their gods and people to this world.
No negotiation, not even superfluous words.
Just a death sentence for everything they were and are in a faint word.
"kill."
This is a war without suspense.
They can't resist the power of an old god, let alone twelve?
Their heroes and leaders were mercilessly obliterated by the old gods, blood and fire destroyed their homes, countless people died in pain and wailing, and the whole world became blood-red.
Only then did Natalya realize that they had never escaped the shackles of fate.
It's just that I have been lingering for a few years.
Being knocked down when full of hope, such an ending is more hopeless and sad than fending for itself.
Their kingdom of God has since become a prison full of yellow sand.
Those who survived the war were all imprisoned here, listening to the lingering bell ringing like a nightmare day and night.
The cruel old gods took turns to ring the bells, trying to use the bells to obliterate their divinity little by little, and completely eradicate the possibility of their resurgence.
They know very well what it means to cut the grass and root out the roots.
"Haven't you ever thought of running away?" Yuyuko asked.
"Escape?" Natalya's throat was dry, "Where are you going to escape?"
Today, there is very little of their divinity left, and even the most inferior old god pets guarding them outside the city have higher divinity than them.
They have nowhere to go.
Xia Ling opened her personal panel and found that, as Natalya said, her divine experience had changed from 0/100 to -10/100.
It's just that the achievement bonus is not included in the base value, so her divinity level remains unchanged at level 1.
If it's a normal upgraded divinity, it's already downgraded by now.
Natalya whispered: "Losing divinity and turning into dust, becoming part of this world, maybe this is our destined destiny."
Gu Chi didn't believe in this thing: "Fate 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 girls: "You don't believe in fate either?" Yuyuko replied without thinking, "No."
If she had believed in fate, she would not have run away from home in the first place.
Xia Ling looked at Gu Chi, her eyebrows and eyes curved: "I quite believe it."
In other words, she is satisfied with her current life and is willing to submit to the arrangement of fate.
"Wait." Gu Chi suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why did the topic of fate suddenly come up?
What he said could be attributed to casual conversation, but why did Natalya specifically 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 already 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."
After the voice fell, the whole world seemed to freeze at this moment.
"when!"
A dull bell rang from afar.
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 the girl die in front of his eyes, but he was unable to make any movements, not even moving his lips.
His current strength is not at the same level as "Nataya".
[The player "fish in the pool" died, the mission failed, the number of remaining players: 2]
At the same time, another system prompt popped up.
[Current copy task refresh]
[Ultimate goal: experience three bell rings and survive (2/3)]
The bell rang twice 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 that they said that the second bell rang on the second night..." Seeing Xia Ling die, Youyouzi was so anxious that he 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, signaling 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.
Xia Ling was holding a dagger to guard against Natalya one second, and laughed from the bottom of her heart the next second.
It wasn't that they relaxed their vigilance, it was that Natalya's voice possessed a deceptive power that drove them to answer.
The white moon in the night sky still looks like a mocking smile.
Gu Chi couldn't remember exactly how long it had been since he entered the book, and he didn't know how long it would be until dawn.
They couldn't bring in watches from outside, and there were no temporary props like mobile phones. Even the game timing 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 because of the difficulty, they came to the timeline where the death knell of Dust rang twice a night.
No matter what, you can't blame Yuyuko.
So far, Dust 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 been directly related to the gods, and anything can happen .
"We're still one bell away. We just need to hear it again, and we'll pass the level, and we'll have our divinity." Gu Chi never mentioned Xia Ling.
The sudden change made the situation a bit bad. This dungeon doesn’t feel long at all. Gu Chi really didn’t think how long it had passed. They even teleported on their way, but this kind of sense of loss of control could happen at any time , put enough pressure on them.
The oppression and anxiety brought about by continuous downsizing in a short period of time are stronger than being stuck 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 and adjust our state." Gu Chi said decisively.
Yuyuko: "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.
"when!"
But this time, neither of them 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 was walking, he was observing the houses under the night light. As he walked, he suddenly felt someone staring at him.
He looked up and saw two figures appearing at the corner in front of him.
Gu Chi took a breath.
With the faint moonlight, he could clearly see their faces.
That was another him and Yuyuko.
Gu Chi turned his head and found that the girl beside him had disappeared at some point.
"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.
"That's right, it's an illusion, but it's a pity you can't get out."
"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 words to expand his perception to the maximum, trying to find out this "god", but the level was too far away, and he couldn't feel the existence of the other party at all.
"Don't look for me, it's useless to find it, it will only make you die faster."
"Where's my companion?"
"Isn't it right in front of your eyes?"
"Gu Chi" and "Youyouzi" had already walked in front of Gu Chi.
Both of them had no expression on their faces, and their eyes were empty, like two puppets with empty bodies and no thinking.
Seeing an identical self, Gu Chi didn't feel terrified, but asked: "I mean the real her."
The voice smiled: "It's okay to tell you, she is in another illusion, facing the same choice as you."
Gu Chi: "Choose?"
"Yes, choose." The voice said, "You have a knife in your hand."
After finishing speaking, 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. For the living, I allow him to leave the illusion."
Gu Chi didn't move: "You gods are all this boring?"
"Don't worry, there is another condition." The voice said, "No matter who you choose to kill, you must cut his skin and stab his body with a knife. He can't die within nine times, otherwise another People will be buried with him."
"In order to make things more enjoyable, I will allow you to repent in the process. You can change your mind at any time and end your companion's life."
"As 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 fun?"
He was like a spectator in the stands, and there was already a hint of eagerness 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 already ring the giant bell?" Gu Chi asked suddenly, "I didn't hear it because I entered the illusion?"
"You are so smart?" He pretended to be surprised, "Then why don't you guess how your companion will choose?"
Gu Chi said in relief: "You count."
How Youyouzi will choose does not need to be guessed, but this is the third ringing of the bell, which makes Gu Chi feel relaxed.
He had already secretly tried to break the illusion, but it didn't work.
All instructions regarding the illusion and the other party cannot take effect. This should be a real god.
Even if not, the strength is far beyond him and Youyuzi, they have no room to resist.
It's better to end it earlier, so as to save him a lot of brainwork.
Youyuzi opened this gate to the kingdom of God, if only one person can get the reward, he will not compete with the girl.
"one."
Gu Chi is not afraid of pain.
He closed his eyes and hypnotized himself, temporarily closing off his senses.
"two."
All he had to do was to kill himself with nine knives before Yuyuko could do anything, and let the girl pass the level.
"three."
So when the "three" fell, Gu Chi also said, "Sure."
【Tao Yun-104】
This is an interspace lock that crosses the illusion. In addition, Youyuzi's attributes are too high, and Dao Yun consumes a lot.
And this is a step-up control, you can't hold Youyouzi for too long, maybe it doesn't take half a second for Youyouzi to break free.
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.
Yuyuko's movement of raising her hand to stab herself stopped abruptly.
There was a sudden sharp pain in 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?"
Yuyuko stared blankly at the wound on her stomach.
next second.
"Hey!"
Gu Chi opened "his" thigh.
A deep bone-deep wound appeared on Youyouzi's leg, which almost made her stand unsteadily.
Blood flowed down her legs and dripped onto the mossy floor like bright flowers blooming.
At the same time, the screen in front of Youyuko's eyes 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 splashed blood stained the girl's snow-white neck and cheeks red.
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, mockingly said: "You seem to have guessed wrong."
"But it doesn't matter, you can still choose to do it."
"I'm giving you a privilege now, you only need one knife to kill him."
"Cut off his head, pierce his heart, whatever."
"Anyway, he chose to kill you, and you are not worth dying for him, are you?"
Gu Chi stabbed "myself" in the waist for the fourth time.
This knife was stabbed for Xia Leng, so it could be regarded as venting his anger for Xia Leng.
At this time, Gu Chi's red knife came in, and the red knife came out, completely unaware that there was another possibility besides the truth of the gods.
He knows too little about gods, or in other words, no player understands gods.
They have no access, no chance to understand.
Most gods keep their word, are cold-blooded and arrogant. They usually disdain lying, with the exception of one god.
He is called a fool.
"Bang."
Yuyuko loosened her right hand feebly, letting the knife fall to the ground.
She chose to give up the so-called "privilege".
She lowered her head and watched Gu Chi stab into her body one after another, crushing her own flesh and blood.
The God of Fools said unexpectedly: "You won't kill him?"
"Hey!"
Fifth cut.
"Why should I kill him?" Yuyuko 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 You can't lie to me, Mr. Prophet will not kill me."
God of Fools: "Then what is he doing now?"
Youyouzi: "Mr. Prophet taught me that seeing is not necessarily believing."
God of Fools: "You are fooling yourself."
The seventh knife.
"Uh... so what?" Yuyuko endured the pain in his upper abdomen, and said indifferently, "Even if he really wants to kill me, let him kill me, is there any hesitation? There is one thing you may still I don't know..."
Youyouzi's pupils glowed red, and he raised his bloody palm to his face, stuck out his tongue and licked it, and said with a little excitement, "I like blood the most, especially the blood that Mister Prophet personally made."
God of Fools: "?"
The eighth knife.
Gu Chi cut his own 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 knife.
Last time I got a fake one for Yuyuko, this time I can get the real one.
He precisely pierced the tip of the knife into the chest cavity of another self, twisted the bone with force, cut a bloody hole, then stretched his hand in, and took out the heart intact.
Youyouzi was trembling all over, all the blood on his face was gone, and his vitality was rapidly fading away.
Even her pupils lost their color, yet she was still smiling.
She has always been the one who takes other people's hearts, and it is a bit novel to be taken by others for the first time.
It turned out that it was a wonderful thing to die at the hands of Mr. Prophet.
Mr. Prophet gave her a heart before, and now she is giving it back to him, which is considered a courtesy.
Mr. Prophet should like it, right?
As for divinity...
Who cares?
It's just a pity that I can't clear the level with Mr. Prophet...
"Boom."
Yuyuko fell down.
"It's boring."
The God of Fools suddenly felt a little bored when he saw the girl 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.
The white moon in the sky reappeared.
This time it's a full moon.
Gu Chi returned to reality, the imaginary suffocation 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 against the white moon.
And in the pool of blood, there lay a girl covered in wounds and smiling.
Even if Gu Chi's psychological quality is strong enough, his eyes widened at this moment, and he stayed where he was.
"faint……?"
How could she die? ?
Youyouzi could no longer speak, and the only answer to Gu Chi was the system prompt.
[Player "Yuyuko" died, mission failed, number of remaining players: 1]
[The guide for "Gate of God's Kingdom: Dust Knell" is completed! 】
