As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 552: The Ancient Kingdom of Isu and the Changed History

The "World War" that Li Nuo participated in was particularly strange.

In the usual world wars, the five corridors usually fight each other to death. The reason depends on whether the strongest participants are willing to live in harmony.

In addition, the "End Corridor" is the corridor with the strongest combat power. Their behavior determines whether the whole script will be bloody or stable.

Amuro and Phil are both the type of people who don't like meaningless killings.

Compared to Amuro's Madonna, Phil has a better impression of the strong. In his eyes, Li Nuo, Cha Bai, and Soran who broke in later, are all at this level. There are also two special guys, the idiot couple.

When the idiot couple is being hunted by the guys from the "End of Corridor", Phil will side with the couple he admires rather than the idiots from his own corridor.

When Phil appeared next to Pippen and Etta, the "End" players watching from a distance remained silent.

There was a player wearing a black hooded gown sitting on the roof, and this guy chose to speak.

"Hey, Phil! I'm entrusting you to help me kill this couple."

Phil pretended not to hear, looked at Pippen, and asked again: "Do you need my help?"

The players in the distance were grinding their teeth and laughing like crazy: "It's over, I was ignored~ Haha, I have lost face!"

Phil ignored them and kept staring at Pippen and Etta.

Etta: "Please, Demon Hunter!"

As soon as he said this, Phil's pupils turned to the guys in the same corridor with him.

An extremely cold white fog rose up all around.

The demon hunter's amber pupils glowed in the white mist.

"I'll take this order."

"The reward is..."

"Let's talk about it after we get back. I haven't thought about it yet."

Phil licked his lips with his blood-red tongue, and as the cold current spread around his body, several white thunders fell from the sky!
Even in the end where there are many strong people, this one is still a BOSS-level existence. The players who came to hunt down the idiot couple frowned. One of them felt that he would die if he faced Phil, and there was no point in resisting. Fortunately, it would be more fun for everyone to go on the road together before dying, so he directly caused a [Big Explosion] in the town.

This guy's self-explosion not only destroyed half of the town, but also did not harm any players.

Others used some kind of prop to forcibly teleport away.

Phil didn't plan to end it like this. He was a man of great integrity, so he had to do what he was asked to do. Moreover, he could earn gold coins by killing his own people in the player gathering area of ​​the "End Corridor", so he planned to chop all those guys to pieces when he returned.

But things didn't turn out the way Phil had imagined.

The ambush for the idiot couple is a chain network. The players of "The End of the Corridor" will use the props of the corridor to calculate the next world where the couple may appear, and go there to wait for them. The price is nothing more than a 70% probability of being torn apart by the space-time tunnel during the transmission process, but the people of "The End of the Corridor" do not care about their lives, they only care about the meaning and results of their actions.

This is one of the reasons why many people don’t like to go against the “End Corridor”. Although they are strong, there is no sense of accomplishment in killing them because they are not afraid of death.

The crisis of the idiot couple was resolved so easily.

Etta knelt limply on the ground, almost powerless.

"I thought I had to transform..."

She and Pippen's adopted child were staring at Phil and protecting Etta.

This kid was originally a player split from Phil [Glutton]. He is alive today because of his medical type and because he met Phil, but he is afraid of the atmosphere of "End Corridor".

But he was more afraid of Phil.

"Don't hurt them..."

The child has a strong resistance to Phil. God knows how this demon hunter usually does things.

"Hurt them?"

Phil laughed.

"Do you really think I'm better than them?"

This question made the child dumbfounded. He had been following the idiot couple for some time. From the panel, he couldn't tell what kind of people they were. They didn't usually do anything with their hands. They did have a lot of magic skills, and they were very good at making things, but that was all.

"Strong?"

There are no weak ones who can participate in the World War, and those who can stay until the end by playing in the World War are even stronger.

Pippen's hair has turned back to black.

The "righteousness and seriousness" that had appeared on his face just now disappeared, and he returned to his playful smile and said, "Thank you. By the way, as a reward, we will help you with the main mission, right?"

"I don't need idiots." Phil refused very readily, but still asked curiously: "You obviously have the ability to repel those guys chasing you, why don't you do it? It was the same in the 'World War'."

Aita: "There's no point in us taking action against humans."

Pippen: "Strictly speaking, we gave up the violent emotions after a certain script."

Phil became interested: "Tell me about it, I want to listen."

Pippen: "How about we find a bar and talk slowly? I have a train ticket. Let's take the train to the top of the snow-capped mountains in the north of this world continent. There is a legendary bar there!"

Etta's eyes sparkled: "Okay, Pippen, I think that one is the best too! But it's too far, it takes a week to get there."

Pippen said awkwardly: "But... there are only seven days in a week, and seven days rounded up to only one day, so it will be here soon!"

Etta suddenly realized: "Yes! Why didn't I think of it!"

The couple looked at Phil.

"We are from the same batch of world war buddies, and we have never been together before. This is a good time for us to get together!"

Phil was too lazy to complain.

The couple didn't care about outsiders at all and sang the same tune.

"Let's ask Amuro to come over too!"

"And that Li Nuo!"

"But if Li Nuo shows up, the Blood Emperor might not dare to come out."

"what to do……"

"what to do……"

"Etta!"

"Pippen!"

The couple hugged each other sadly.

“It’s difficult to make a choice!”

Phil rolled his eyes and took out a bag of wine.

"I just want to hear a story... Just find a place to have a drink."

The couple nodded: "Okay!"

Several people found a place in the ruins of the explosion.

Phil poured the wine.

Pippen was the first to take the glass. He took a sip of the wine leisurely and said, "Aita and I went through some things in the Ys script before. At that time, we were only... level 30."

Phil nodded. It wasn't particularly rare for players to cross the level limit and enter high-difficulty scenarios. It's just that too few of them survived. And those who survived... were all fucking monsters.

Etta's palms emitted high temperatures, which heated the wine in the glass. He took a sip and said, "Pippen became Atreus of that world, and I became one of the twin goddesses of that world."

Phil nodded. He knew that players would get some special identities in the script.

"Eh? What?"

Phil suddenly felt something was wrong.

"what?"

"main character?"

"goddess?"

A pair of white feather wings faintly appeared on Etta's back: "I am a goddess."

Pippen tore off half of his face skin: "I have Atlus' face hidden inside me."

……

"Red-haired pervert?"

"Adol?"

Huo San was stumped by the question. He knew Atlus, an adventurer who was said to have been active on the world stage nearly a thousand years ago.

"Adol, an adventurer."

The evil spirit's minions smiled.

"The world has been able to remain peaceful until now because of the composition of the two eras."

As a businessman, Huo San values ​​profits, but he was a warrior who traveled around the continent in his early years and was very interested in ancient civilizations. Now, Huo San realizes that he will learn the truth hidden behind history next.

The evil spirit's minion read his thoughts, tilted his head to look at the window, and slowly spoke.

"The first era was formed by Atrus. He went on adventures for decades and solved many incidents that could have plunged the world into darkness. Some of the ancient gods that disappeared from everyone's cognition were killed by him. There were great men, hot-blooded fools, and idiots who hid their merits and fame."

"But do you know where Atrus' story begins?"

"Winged People and the Erudian Civilization."

……

[Winged People and the Erudian Civilization]

Cha Bai, Wells and Nanami were inside the "Hirfus Building". They watched the announcement that popped up in the envelope in silence.

Outside the screen, Li Nuo sat on the back of Doulong, soaring over the sea of ​​clouds.

The white dragon almost blended into the rising sun.

Li Nuo had to squint to see the words on the game screen under the bright light.

"Isn't this the history of the world of Ys..."

He couldn't help but admire the generosity of the big guild, especially the magnanimity of KING. This game console directly helped them skip the process of searching for clues and conveyed the truth of the world to the players through a series of data.

The history of "Ys" is actually similar to real history, but the difference is that it is more mysterious.

On the screen is the story of Ys.

……

[3000 years ago, the Erudian civilization was established and once flourished]

[2500 years ago, the Erudian civilization began to transform its own body, truly becoming a "winged civilization" and achieving immortality]

[2000 years ago, the weather control device went out of control because some humans and the Dark Clan attempted to control it, which directly led to a flood, causing the continent to sink and the Erudian civilization to perish]

[After the sinking of the continent, most of the winged people chose to abandon their bodies and go to the spiritual world. A small number of them led the surviving humans to rebuild their homes around the world, continued to teach technology, and became gods worshipped by humans]

The twin goddesses among the winged people are the main background of "Ys 1&2".

The twin goddesses established the ancient kingdom of Ys. Because their treasure, the "Black Pearl", was targeted, monsters swept across the earth and the demon king attacked the ancient kingdom of Ys.

After a series of events, the Gemini Goddesses decided to sacrifice themselves to seal the black pearl.

[700 years later, about 1300 years ago, a young man named Atrus embarked on a journey and was involved in the events of the ancient country of Isu]

Atlu finally resolved the whole incident.

But there is still a way to clean up after everything.

The goddess' treasure "Black Pearl" is the center of a series of events. It can bring blessings, but it can also attract monsters.

The Gemini Goddesses decided to seal the black pearl, turn it into a stone statue, and continue to protect the continent.

The original story should have ended here. Li Nuo sensed from the screen that things were going to change.

"As expected, something unexpected happened."

Things have changed.

[Atlu grabbed the goddess and ran away]

Translated it means... the intrusion of a pair of idiot couple... Fina, one of the Gemini Goddesses, was possessed by Etta, and ran away with Pippen, who played Atlus.

The black pearl was neither sealed nor destroyed, but was made into an [Ancient Gear] by the idiot couple in a strange way.

……

Hillufus Building.

The evil demon's minion stretched out his palm, and an [Ancient Gear] hidden inside the building appeared in his hand.

"I don't know what abilities Atrus and Fina used to decompose the [Black Pearl] and turn it into the current [Ancient Gear]."

He looked at Huo San's somewhat surprised face and put the gear on the sofa.

"Later, Atlus' situation became very strange. Sometimes he would go on adventures alone, and sometimes he would be accompanied by Fina. History records that he disappeared when he was over 60 years old, but he appeared everywhere in different eras in the following hundreds of years to solve different disasters."

The incident involving the ancient monster "Behemoth" in the town of Qibei was resolved by Atreus.

In fact, what the natives don’t know is that all the Atlus who have Fina with them are At and Pippen.

"The Corridor of the Sky" has some special mechanisms that force players to be responsible for the worlds they have visited. The idiot couple has messed up "Ys", so they often receive special mission notices and come to this world to solve the troubles left over from the characteristics of the "Black Pearl".

This process has made the couple powerful and has also made their personalities purer than those of ordinary people.

"Atrus truly disappeared 500 years ago."

The evil demon's minion took out a photo from his arms and showed it to Huo San.

The photo shows the Tanggula Mountains.

"About 500 years ago, a woman who had been living in seclusion on this mountain opened a tunnel, and a violent magical factor emerged from it, sweeping across the world and changing the world's evolutionary chain."

Goddess Tia opened the door to the Border Prison 500 years ago, causing the strength of this world to reach the level of "Border Prison Script".

Pippen and Etta's power cannot freely enter and exit the world of Border Prison difficulty. This is the reason why the 500 Riatulu disappeared, but no one knows it at present.

now,

The fighting dragon passed through a cloud.

Li Nuo covered his hat with his hands, looking at the "Explanation of the Truth of the World" generated by the dialogue between the evil minions and Huo San on the screen of the game console.

He suddenly had a strange feeling.

What scenario the player will encounter is related to his or her own obsession.

Assuming that the idiot couple has an obsession to do what they can for the world, then Li Nuo, who has a good relationship with them, may have been influenced by their obsession to come here.

Li Nuo began to amuse himself.

"That's why I, the Warrior of Light, appear, hahahahaha!"

Doulong wanted to throw Li Nuo to the ground a hundred meters below, and it would be best if he died. This would be a good opportunity to find a new master, preferably Cha Bai.

On the game screen that Li Nuo was staring at, the pixelated figures transformed by Cha Bai and the other three were still reading the story in the letter.

And on the top floor of the building, the evil minions are telling the final story.

"After the gate of the border prison was opened, two special things appeared."

"First, the teachings of 'Soul of Steel'."

"The second is the prototype of evil, the high-dimensional demon."

When he said this, Huo San frowned and the strong man showed a hint of timidity.

As for the evil spirits, they are the things that bring death to the entire continent.

But almost no one knows where it comes from.

"Is he the demon from the Border Prison?"

Huo San still didn't know what the Bianyu was, but he knew how powerful the devil was.

They are a group of creatures that can manipulate people's hearts, the embodiment of malicious resentment, and a divine punishment that can bring destruction to the world.

"Yes, the demon was just a child at first, and it was because of the teachings of 'Soul of Steel' that the malice in his heart was awakened. Just like the core of the teachings of 'Soul of Steel', everything is freedom, and everything is the world's fault."

This is the destructive power of the "Mechanical Cult".

This is the devastation that would be brought if Maljie became a god.

Ma Ge himself didn't know that his group of mechanical lifeform followers who liked to think could even guide the thoughts of the devil.

The evil spirit's minion picked up a cigarette from the table and played with it between his fingers. Looking at Huo San's frightened and resistant face, he found it particularly interesting.

"Don't panic, Mr. Huo San. Let's go back to the negotiation we started with. We hope you can invest and help us build an army to tame monsters."

"The strength of Warcraft is far inferior to today's technology."

"What if it's a demon beast from Tanggula Mountain?"

The evil demon's question stunned Huo San.

"Didn't I tell you that there is a goddess in Tanggula Mountain. Her name is Tia. As long as she is there, the world will always be peaceful. She keeps the most dangerous monsters in captivity in Tanggula Mountain. When the evil demon army swept across the continent, it was the goddess who selected several heroes to embark on the journey, including your father."

"I really don't know about that." Huo San said.

"Don't interrupt me, I haven't finished yet." The evil spirit's minions said: "The goddess has now left this world, which means that the world's change has come."

The evil demon's minion took out a letter and handed it to Huo San.

The content of the letter is a cooperation agreement from another big country, and it is a record of war. While the evil demons are gaining power, they will use the Blue Sea Country as a base and cooperate with that big country to launch a war against the Obsidian Country.

"The evil demon has come to his senses. He is willing to let go of his obsession and cooperate with humans. It depends on your choice. We need your company's technology to tame monsters."

Huo San put the letter on the table.

"Suppose the goddess comes back?"

“There is no such assumption.”

The evil demon's minions opened their mouths, their white teeth clenched together, and their creepy smile made the air freeze.

"As long as we complete some things before that, the goddess won't have to be afraid of us."

"Who are you?" Huo San found that the guy sitting opposite him was strange and didn't look like a minion.

"I?"

The facial features of the demon shrank, his body became smaller, his skin faded and his blood color faded, and he turned into a handsome boy.

"I am an evil demon."

Huo San never thought that he would tremble with fear when facing a ten-year-old child. It turned out that the person sitting opposite him was the high-dimensional demon himself.

"Don't panic. I'm just borrowing my body. I can't hurt you."

The evil demon smiled like an innocent child.

"In fact, I can become very powerful. After all, I am a high-dimensional demon. I have a colleague who is feared in a certain world because he causes the world to fall into tragedy. That guy is called 'Gunter O'Dimm'. Do you understand, sir? Because of faith, obsession, fear, and the oppression and destruction brought by the world, we high-dimensional demons will become infinitely powerful on this basis until we can control fate, tear apart elements, and take charge of life and death."

"But, the goddess named 'Tia' is too powerful. When she realizes that the danger is about to be unstoppable, she will take action to clear the obstacles. I was slapped to death by her back then."

"Yes, Mr. Huo San, I was not killed by those heroes in your eyes. They were not qualified to fight against me."

Huo San is in a completely bad state, and it seems that he has no choice but to betray humanity.

The evil spirit can read minds, so it naturally knows what Huo San is thinking.

"You can also die. Of course, even if you die, I still have a way to get your company's things. But I have to admit that it is very troublesome."

Huo San bent down, supported his thighs with his strong arms, and supported his forehead with his palms. He lowered his head and asked:

"You must have other purposes for cooperating with that big country, right?"

The devil smiled.

"I'm sorry, I'm not going to say that."

He certainly has a purpose.

High-dimensional demons need to acquire "faith"-like abilities in order to become stronger, including fear, loyalty, love, and admiration.

Since the evil demons started the war a hundred years ago, they have been trying to use the residual heat of the war to increase their own strength.

Now that he has been resurrected, he urgently needs to quickly harvest the emotions related to "faith". The time left for him is very short, but the evil demon finds that no matter how he harvests those emotions of "faith", he cannot increase his strength.

The answer is actually quite simple.

High-dimensional demons can only reap the power of emotions by maximizing certain things.

Gaunter O'Dimm harvested fear with his invincible power and malice in the low-dimensional world, which led to the later Mirror Master.

In the world of "The Witcher", there is also Dana Mabe and the Goddess of Fate, who are pulling each other with the Mirror Master.

In this world, the greatest faith is given by 50,000 "Soul of Steel" believers to the gods they worship.

In the city-state of Belia, the appearance of God made this belief reach a terrifying level of loyalty.

This is the destructive power of the mechanical cult.

The fanaticism of 50,000 believers guided the direction of the world and blocked the path for evil spirits to become more powerful.

There are two gods in this world.

One is a goddess, the other is an evil god.

The demon didn't know that he actually lost to a dog.

What he didn't know was that the two players who played Atrus and Fina had caused the Warrior of Light to appear here because of their obsession with protecting the world.

……

All "Endless Corridor" players including Li Nuo received system prompts.

At this moment, Cha Bai, who was pixelated inside the building, popped up a dialog box: "Li Nuo, it's a high-dimensional demon, do you still want to take action?"

Li Nuo had an uncontrollable excitement bursting in his eyes.

There must be a huge reward for killing the high-dimensional demon, right?
Moreover, Huo Liuli's side quest "WWE" can earn you 200,000 experience points.

Li Nuo lowered the brim of his hat and smiled.

"Tifa, Barret, Yuffie, are you ready to save the world?"

Nanami and Wells on the screen were instantly immersed in the role.

Barrett: "Hahaha, I'm fine."

Yufei: "Stop wasting time. I'm still waiting to open the treasure chest."

Tifa was startled: "I, I'm not Tifa, I'm 2B."
