Classic revival of infinite games

Chapter 143 6.35 The truth about the city-state

Xie Yunche came out of the water and suddenly felt the murderous intent coming towards him, and subconsciously protected his face to block it.

A gray shadow flashed past his eyes and passed across his arm, leaving three long claw marks with blood oozing from them.

The shadow found a foothold and rushed towards him again.

The figure was so fast that only a blurry afterimage remained, with only a pair of shining green eyes leaving a green light trail in the air like lightning.

It stretched out its sharp claws and slashed at him again, faster, more accurately, and harder than the last time. However, the fierce scratches and bites did not leave any marks on his body.

"what is this?"

Xie Yunche exclaimed.

The moment it stopped, it looked like a wolf, but its wind-like speed showed that it was no ordinary animal, but a monster.

Is there such a monster in this jungle?
Why are you attacking me for no reason?

However, he couldn't help but think about it, and the monster attacked it again.

This time Xie Yunche was prepared. He threw out the sharp ax and quickly attacked the monster.

The monster was extremely fast, and Xie Yunche was unable to dodge it. However, at this time, the claws could hardly leave any traces on him, so the monster was still gradually at a disadvantage.

Xie Yunche adjusted his breathing and suddenly exploded, bringing up a gust of wind and hitting the monster.

It was split into two pieces in an instant, fell to the ground and whimpered for a moment, the green light in its eyes extinguished.

Xie Yunche stood firm, breathing rapidly. He felt a heart in his chest slamming against his chest.

Slowly breathing again, he approached the monster, took a closer look, and was suddenly startled.

The so-called monster actually looks like an ordinary wolf?
And the more he observed, the more weird and weird he felt.

He leaned over and observed carefully, and finally understood where the strange feeling came from.

The dead wolf had unique patterns on its head, and its light gray fur looked like a blooming flower. He seemed to know this wolf.

Is this wolf Ah Hui?
He suddenly had a very bad guess.

But at this moment, the secret murderous intention that had been dormant for a long time behind him quickly moved towards him like an arrow from a string.

He turned around anxiously, but the fatigue after exercise made it difficult for him to quickly mobilize adrenaline.

After all, he was one step slower.

"Push!"

What caught his eyelids was a pair of familiar eyes, but at the moment they were so cold and without any warmth.

There was a hot and sharp pain in his chest, which quickly exploded and spread to his nerves and limbs.

He couldn't scream and looked down tremblingly. A dagger was stabbed into his chest.

It hit the heart accurately, and steaming blood gurgled out.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at that cold face in disbelief.

Ye Man.

In a flash of lightning, he suddenly understood that this was a trap she had designed specifically to deal with him.

She fed Ah Hui a powerful mushroom and let Ah Hui fight fiercely with him.

And she observed the fight in the dark, calmly and coldly, and deduced the conditions for the activation of his "Copper Skin and Iron Bone" skill - when his self-defense awareness awakens.

Then, when he killed Ah Hui, lowered his guard, and observed with all his heart, she ate the powerful mushroom and took action without hesitation.

"You killed my lover." She looked at him and said calmly, "This is what I owe you."

The severe pain made him sober.But at this moment, the pain of another dimension was eroding his brain. He choked and couldn't make any sound.

……

"Then, will you always be my friend?"

What was ringing in my ears was her clear voice from her adolescence.

Looking into his eyes, they were pure and focused.

……

"I like you, Ye Man. Do you like me?"

By the lake, after he kissed her for the first time, he looked directly into her eyes and asked her softly and clearly.

"Yes, I like it……"

That was her as an adult, with a hint of excitement in her voice.

Her damp hair stuck to her fair cheeks, and her eyes, which were as moist as an autumn lake, reflected him completely.

……

Ye Man held the dagger tightly and looked coldly at the eyes filled with painful tears in front of him.

But his feelings didn't last long before he woke up.

He felt his body cooling rapidly as the blood drained from his chest.

This bone-chilling chill reminded him that he didn't have much time left, and he still had unfinished business.

……

Ye Man's cold expression suddenly changed.

She became surprised.

Holding the dagger in her hand, she felt that the young man in front of her suddenly gave up resistance. The dagger that had triggered the "Copper Skin and Iron Bone" skill when inserted halfway in, actually penetrated further bit by bit.

To be precise, she didn't move, but the boy took half a step closer to her.

His face was pale, dripping with cold sweat, his lips were bloodless, and his cheekbones showed that he was clenching his molars to endure the great pain, allowing the dagger to penetrate deeper into his chest.

But he used all his strength to open his arms and hug her into his arms.

At this moment, the dagger finally penetrated his body.

Ye Man felt the hot and sticky blood on her chest. She frowned and felt that her heart was feeling stuffy and painful for no reason.

"Keyword...self-fulfilling prophecy...must...live!"

The vigorous and energetic young voice was completely lost.

Only this sound of breath was left, roaring with all her strength in her ears.

After saying that, he slipped down and fell in front of her.

The blood soaked the grass blades and soil, which was shocking.

Ye Man stood numbly in front of the bodies of Xie Yunche and Ah Hui.

Her plan worked, and she got her revenge without much effort, but her heart ached more and more.She didn't understand why she squatted down when she stepped forward, and why she stretched out her hands to take the two corpses in front of her and hug them. Then she faintly felt that doing so could relieve some of her heartache.

"Ahaha~"

It was an extremely long and strange smile.

A long-haired man came out of the lake.The tattered robe, the skeleton cane, the gray face, the bony cheeks, and a pair of huge eyes stood out, flashing with excitement.

"After watching this drama so many times, it's still exciting..." He sighed with unfinished content, "Okay, little girl, give me the body in your hands. I'll teach you how to survive."

Ye Man: "No need."

"Ha." The long-haired man sneered, "The man you have is a prince. If you kill him, what will happen to him, don't you know?"

Ye Man said calmly: "I've already taken my revenge, it doesn't matter what the outcome is."

Her expression of wantlessness made the long-haired man feel a little boring.

Suddenly, a strange smile gradually appeared on the long-haired man's face, as if he thought of something extremely interesting. He said to himself: "Okay, although he changed the keyword, I am willing to give you a few drops. The antidote to sobriety, I’d like to see your reaction.”

He took out a bottle of red potion and waved it vigorously in the air. Although it was a long distance away, two drops of red potion accurately flew into her eyes.

Come on, the show begins.

The long-haired man felt happy.

The magic potion and the antidote, these two alone can allow him to enjoy the gorgeous shows again and again, and collect all their corpses.

There are endless and varied stories, and you can see them being trapped by love, tired of love, and finally going crazy in the endless forbidden forest.

And it was always at this last moment that he gave out an antidote that no one could pay the price for.

"Thank me, I'm a generous man." He always said.

But these words always resulted in angry curses.

But he listened and never got upset, which was part of the fun.

Every time the play reaches this point, it is the time he looks forward to the most——

The person left behind woke up, collapsed into hysteria when faced with the situation in front of him, and then had to hand over his body for the next exchange, and then made the wrong choice in the end.

So he was filled with joy when he saw Ye Man open her eyes. The obsession in her eyes faded away, leaving only a clear look.

She looked at the body in her arms, her actions still fresh in her memory.

"I gave you an expensive antidote." The long-haired man said with a smile, "Thank me, I am a generous person."

The girl in front of her did not move. She pieced Ah Hui together, placed it beside her, and touched the top of its head.

She rested Xie Yunche's head on her lap and gently stroked his eyes.

The pale boy whose blood had faded seemed to be sleeping on her lap.

"Give him to me." The long-haired man stretched out his hand, "How about I teach you how to survive?"

Ye Man did not raise his eyes, but shook his head slightly, his eyes focused on Xie Yunche's profile.

"... He can't be resurrected. If you give him to me, you can still have a chance of survival, right?" The long-haired man was ignored one after another. He suppressed his anger and continued to follow the temptation.

He stood on the water, maintaining the gesture of opening his hands to beg.

"Keyword, A Midsummer Night's Dream." Ye Man finally said, raising his eyes to look at him coldly, "It's the same thing if I don't hand him over to you."

The long-haired man was stunned, silent for a moment, and finally said unwillingly: "It is... one of the correct keywords... Okay, let's change it."

A big bubble appeared in the air, with two bottles inside, one red and one green, and a kit.

He exhaled and muttered as if to relieve his irritation: "The magic potion antidote...bewitches people's hearts...hides another dungeon core keyword...bubbles...save your life at the bottom of the lake...choose quickly."

Ye Man did not answer him, but asked: "Why can you save your life at the bottom of the lake?"

"You ask me? How could I know..."

"Of course you know." Ye Man looked directly at his bulging eyeballs and said word by word, "Explorer, I have admired you for a long time."

The long-haired man was stunned on the lake.

After a long while, he smiled strangely, and then asked: "How do you know... Forget it, there is no point in talking about this... So, do you understand what this place is?"

Ye Man said lightly: "It's like... the inside of a huge crystal ball..."

……

Unknown land.

In front of the screen, the operator gradually sat up straight and moved closer to the screen.

The man behind him took a sip of his newly brewed high-sugar and high-fat milk tea, looked at Ye Man deeply, with a meaningful smile on his face.

……

"The inclination of Yilin's boundary changes with height, indicating that it is a place surrounded by curvature, much like the inside of a sphere." She said clearly, "Combined with the keyword 'self-fulfilling prophecy', it is not difficult to understand that this place, Prophecy is very crucial. So it should be the inside of the crystal ball."

The long-haired man stood frozen on the lake and finally said hoarsely: "Yes, it took me a year to finally discover that Yilin and even the entire city-state are within the scope of the crystal ball. Once people enter here, it will be difficult to get out. ."

"So you are not studying here at all, but escaping. You are not crazy at all, but you have seen that this place is destined to be impossible to escape in the usual way." Ye Man said softly, "And those who are crazy Man, maybe someone discovered this too.”

The long-haired man remained silent, as if something had been said to his heart, which reminded him of some wise men he could not forget.

"But in addition to the hard and inescapable glass body surrounding the woods and city-states, the lake is another soft boundary. It contains supernatural energy, and it also provides you with the possibility to break through your own layer of prophecy. Sex." Ye Man continued.

"It's a round lake..." His voice was hoarse. "On the surface, it's a lake without any magic power. But while I was trying to survive in the woods, by chance, I discovered a land-dwelling insect in the lake. In the small bubble..."

He looked at the bubbles in front of him and said: "In the following time, I collected all the small bubbles in that lake and synthesized them into big bubbles. It took me a lot of time to make it until I could survive under the water and escape the That prophecy of mine.”

"Then you created a new bubble under the water and started your bad taste." Ye Man looked directly into his eyes, "But I think that your bad taste of exchanging corpses did not originate from you. I have a special fondness for them.”

The explorer lowered his head and let out a chuckle, then raised his head with bright eyes: "You have noticed it till now, but the so-called 'bad taste' will speed up my collection of parts. Exchange with me Anyone who has passed before you will without exception collapse, and then I will receive new parts. But since you are so smart, then I allow you to be my first mate, my only living companion."

Behind him, a huge thing rose from the water.

"The bottom of the five lakes are connected together. At the deepest connection, it is like a huge root system. There are invisible things blocking it, and only the dead bones can enter it."

The upper part of the rising behemoth looked like a terrifying palace, while the lower part revealed a much larger hull, which seemed to have been soaked in a lot of mud and was eerily hidden in the thick fog of the night.

"They all thought this was some kind of palace. Only I know. This is my most powerful magic weapon to escape from here. Of course, now, there is one more person who knows about this."

He smoothed his long hair and his eyes became bright: "Come on, exchange with me quickly and choose the bubble. Then give me the person in your hand and let you get on the ship. The prince is my rudder, As long as we have him again, the ship can sail, and then we will dive into the root system at the bottom of the lake together, and sail away from this area, this crystal ball, and away from this ghost place!"

Ye Man looked at him and said slowly: "What I chose is the brocade bag."

"what?!"

"And I won't hand him over to you." Ye Man looked at him as if watching something extremely ridiculous, "By the way, Mr. Explorer, you keep asking me for him because after you entered the bubble, You can’t leave the water anymore, so you can’t come over and grab it, right?”
