As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 562: The Guys Who Save the World in the Shadows
[Black Pearl] exploded.

But it exploded very quietly, just like a child's toy, and it broke into pieces with a "pop".

Fina looked at the debris on the ground in panic and said, "That's not right. I just felt a burst of magic power that could distort space erupting from it. How come..."

Soran came over and pushed up his glasses to look at the fragments of the black pearl. Without saying anything, he directly released the panel that only the [Explorer] could see.

【Black Pearl】

[Special item: It was originally created by winged people. After some changes in the world line, it became a product that absorbs energy.]

[Hidden feature: A girl came here and set a "superpower secret language" nearby. If one day, the world will fall into destruction because of the problem of the black pearl, then I hope that people or things related to Atrus and the Gemini Goddesses can appear in advance and restore everything to normal.]

[Super Power Secret Words: If the Black Pearl shows signs of being activated, Atreus will affect the development of the situation and solve this problem. If a creature opens the door related to "Hell", if the "Black Pearl" happens to be nearby, it will force the answer to the secret words to be activated and summon Atreus to come over, no matter where Atreus is, no matter if he is busy with other things, anyway... The next sentence comes from the girl: "I'm sorry, forgive my willfulness, this is a mandatory order that has no benefit, it will consume my life, this is the price I pay."]

When Li Nuo read these words, he thought of a girl hiding in the misty forest.

But he stopped there and didn't say much, and the matter should have ended there.

Fina picked up the last fragment of the [Black Pearl] and held it up at the top of the Tower of Dam, allowing the dark clouds in the sky to see it clearly and letting the light left by Leviathan shine on it, and then the fragments fell apart.

Fina finally said: "All the causes and effects of this world end here... If there are more disasters in the future, I will come back..."

She changed back into Aita's appearance.

A panel appeared in front of Etta that only she and Pippen could see.

[Personal quest line completed: The pioneer leading the times]

[You will return to your original scenario or world in 15 minutes, please be prepared]

Arturo turned back into Pippen. He touched his hair and said helplessly, "In the end, I was just a medium... Anyway, thank you all."

Li Nuo: "Thank you so much, I'll give you some benefits when I get back."

The idiot couple laughed at him together.

Li Nuo felt like he was dreaming. He had never thought that players could become the "protagonists" of a certain world.

At this time, the sounds of roaring and fighting were still erupting from under the Tower of Dam.

Aita quickly ran to the edge of the tower, anxiously looking at the believers still fighting below, and shouted: "It's over! Stop fighting!"

Actually... that group of cultists are just bloodthirsty, so just let them fight to their heart's content. Besides, the monsters gathered by the evil demons are dangerous and it's better to kill them. What's more, the cultists believe in Malje, and the players are still acting, which can be regarded as believing in Malje. Therefore, after the "Soul of Steel" kills the monster, it will be fed back to the [Experience Guide Machine]. Just stay here and watch them kill the enemies to increase the attribute value, which can be regarded as lying down.

After defeating the evil demon, all players who participated in the battle will receive mission rewards.

[Devil's Random Skill: High-Dimensional Demon's Skill Card]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: Draw a power from the prison, which can only be used by the rewarding player]

[Brief description: There is a huge negative cost, it is recommended to use it after returning to the corridor]

This is a black card with a clown on it. It is the first time that Li Nuo has seen it.

Everyone tacitly put away this skill card.

Then there is a reward that only Li Nuo and Soran can enjoy. When the two of them were fighting the evil demon, Soran set an alarm. If they killed the target within two minutes, there would be an increased reward calculation: [Characteristic Value +5].

In addition, there is experience value.

A total of 120w experience points.

Li Nuo is level 86. Each upgrade requires 36 to 40 experience points, and he can upgrade three levels in a row.

[Li Nuo: lv86→lv89]

[Strength: 286+14]

[Reaction: 470+36]

[Spiritual power: 369+20]

[Physique: 371+20]

[Insight: 521+26]

【Medical: 55+0】

[Still until the next upgrade: 115000/420000]

The reaction value finally broke through 500. Li Nuo couldn't feel the specific performance for the time being, but Sauron was a little surprised that the four eyes could see everyone's value.

"You have two items that have exceeded 500..."

"how?"

"Nothing, just rare."

Soran's words were ambiguous. He was cautious and didn't want to talk about these things in front of "outsiders", so he changed the subject.

"I'll write you a note about everything that can be explored in this world. You still have a few days to finish the script, so take as much as you can. We'll split the profits 50-50 when we get back."

"it is good."

"Also, don't use the [Ancient Crystal]. Come find me when you get back. It has other uses."

Soran specifically emphasized that the [Ancient Crystal] could see strange things, and he needed Li Nuo to take this thing back. It was also for this reason that Li Nuo did not crush the only [Ancient Crystal] in the final battle.

Finally, driven by curiosity, Soran asked about what he cared about most.

"You know the girl who set up the super power secret language here, right?"

"I probably... know who it is."

Li Nuo not only knew the information, he also roughly figured out the hidden clues of the whole incident.

Maybe... the goddess Tanggula did something that caused the door to the border prison to open, and also prevented the protagonists played by Pippen and Etta from entering this world. The evil demons in the border prison were sucked in, and at the same time, the mechanical life forms left behind in the border prison during the world war also came over.

Due to the doctrinal issues of the "Mechanical Cult", the demon who lost most of his memory gained a new idea. Perhaps during this period, the high-dimensional devil recalled his past, so this guy began to harm the world.

As the [World Editor], Goddess Tanggula does not care about the danger of the evil demon. She cares about the problem caused by the [Black Pearl] being used by the evil demon. That problem may be opening the "Gate of Hell" again, and the power of hell will harm the whole world. So, the goddess chose a few powerful guys and embarked on a journey to kill the evil demon. The process is not important. Anyway, the evil demon was defeated before his plan was implemented.

The goddess was worried that the Black Pearl would be used again, so she found a girl with superpowers and asked the girl to set a secret code in the Tower of Dam that could solve the problem.

Before the evil demon was resurrected, the secret language had already taken effect. Etta and Pippen had hoped that someone could help them in this world they could never go to again. The warrior of light who had cooperated with them was selected. Guangdai came to this world and found a way to bring the idiot couple back. They became the final guarantee to completely kill the evil demon.

At this point, the prayer left by the super girl has come to an end.

correct.

If he had to say what else in this world was related to Li Nuo and his friends, Li Nuo could only think of the fact that the evil cult of Maljie had flourished here.

In short, the Warrior of Light is just a tool, the idiot couple's obsession with not killing people has not been broken, Sauron, as one of the drafters of the doctrine, was also brought in, Master Ma became a god, the [Black Pearl] was destroyed, and everything has settled.

There is one more thing that Li Nuo must do.

"Can you please help me with the problem of [Ancient Gear]?"

He said to the idiot couple.

Etta nodded heavily: "No problem, it's actually very easy to use... I'll write down my experience for you."

In this way, return to the Pilgrim Town, complete Jimmy's commission, get the remaining 100 million experience points, and achieve all goals.

Li Nuo glanced at the task panel. There was less than a week left before the end of the entire script. During this time, he could travel around the world as Soran said and get all the things he could.

Not long after, Phil came over and was very disappointed to see that the evil demon had been completely killed.

"At least leave me a body."

[Glutton] can absorb targets with reduced vitality. Phil's goal was to absorb evil spirits.

Etta patted him on the back and consoled him with a smile: "It's boring to keep killing monsters. Let's drink the remaining wine when we get back. Pippen and I still want to hear your story~!"

Phil was helpless against this couple, probably because they were too pure.

Li Nuo noticed the human head hanging around Phil's waist.

"Your pile of brains?"

"Oh, we are from the cloister. I plan to take it back and exchange it for gold coins."

Phil's hunting will not end until he kills everyone. After all, he is a demon hunter who has accepted a commission and he cares a lot about the contract.

"Is this one still alive?"

Li Nuo stared at one of the heads, the face on which was still moving.

"Well, he's not dead. This guy is a master of disguise and has a very strong vitality. He can be exchanged for a good price."

Phil saw what Li Nuo was thinking and wanted to raise the price.

"Li Nuo, let's make a deal? But it's expensive."

Li Nuo wants this head, so he disguises it as a demon, returns to the Pilgrim Town, takes out the head and commits some fraud. Who knows, maybe they will win the main plot.

"make a deal."

The head was still talking nonsense, and Li Nuo took it and smashed it on the ground, knocking it unconscious. At this time, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated.

The sun is back.

The disaster caused by the evil spirit ended so absurdly before it even began.

Taking advantage of the interval when the sun was returning, Soran took out his director's hat and put it on, clapping his hands and shouting, "Actors, take your positions. This is the last scene. Let's have a post-episode of defeating the Demon King! Finish it in five minutes, and find that Nanami for me! Tell 2B to record an ending herself!"

In the village of Clos.

Cha Bai heard the noise from their end through the communicator.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"it's over……"

Maljie turned off the game, stretched, and fell asleep in the grass in the sun.

Cha Bai took out a spare camera, pointed it at himself, and smiled.

"Well, this farce ends here. In conclusion, please allow me to convey my gratitude to the people of 'Soul of Steel' and those who have brought beauty to the world in the dark. Thank you to these nameless...heroes."

……

In a certain Middle-earth world, Wang Li was wearing Gandalf's magic hat and sitting on the shoulders of an orc.

Taoist Wang is stroking his beard, carrying a magic staff, and holding the Xuanyuan Sword on his back. His appearance has a kind of stitched beauty.

As the Tanggula goddess said, there is a secret medicine in this world that can cure all diseases. It is a potion belonging to the "Foundation". It was lost in this script in a chaotic timeline thousands of years ago when the goddess Tia was still a player.

Taoist Wang cured the disease with the medicine, and now, he and Tia are ready to hunt the new demon king of Middle-earth, Gollum.

"senior."

"Ok?"

Tia sat on the broom and turned to look at him.

"Senior, is it really okay for you not to go back?"

"It's alright."

Tia smiled easily.

"Don't underestimate the strength of the world of Ys. The demon kings and gods are nothing compared to the absurd fighting talents of the natives."

"Senior...as a god...are you..."

The orc under Wang Li's crotch suddenly fell down. Taoist Wang came down and helped pull out the hedgehog from the orc's foot.

Tia came over and picked up the hedgehog that was stepped on to death. She enchanted the tip of its nose with her fingers, and the hedgehog suddenly came alive. After shaking a few times, it jumped to the ground and ran into the bushes.

Tia looked at the little hedgehog that had disappeared and smiled with relief.

Wang Li looked at her infatuatedly. He had been with Tia for a long time and this was the first time he saw the "divine" side of this woman.

"Of course I will be prepared."

Tia turned her head and looked at Taoist Wang.

"What preparation?"

"Isn't there a [Black Pearl] in the world of Ys? That thing is the starting point of the whole story, so I asked a now-dead supernatural master... She promised me that she would cast a summoning spell on the [Black Pearl] when needed."

"Wait, super powers?"

Wang Li didn't expect that super powers existed in that world.

"Um, yes, super powers."

Tia looked at the mountains in the distance. There was still a long way to go. She thought for a moment and decided that she could talk about the past to relieve her boredom on the way.

"About seventy years ago, the kid who called himself a demon went a little too far. He planned to conquer the world while summoning the Black Pearl, absorbing the world's energy to increase his power, and finally opening the Hell Gate to make the world more fearful than ever before. In other words, if I hadn't taken action at the time, the world of Ys would have become Warhammer."

"Bianyu...that hell really has everything."

"Strictly speaking, it should be the matter on the other side of the World Tree. They passed through the World Tree's defense layer and came to the big world you are familiar with... Never mind, this thing is off topic."

Tia stopped talking here.

She ordered the orc who had just stepped on the hedgehog to sit down, and took out a bandage to treat the wound on the sole of the orc's foot.

"Where were we talking about... By the way, that girl with super powers, her name is 'Mystery'."

"The misty forest in the Obsidian Kingdom?"

"you know?"

Wang Li nodded. "When I was reading gossip magazines, I saw some idiotic historical stories that mentioned a girl named 'Mystery' living in the Misty Forest. Her lover went with the team to fight against the evil spirits, but died on the battlefield. Later, the girl has been guarding her lover's tombstone in the forest... Is that right?"

"That's true, but this is an obvious clue." Tia turned her head and said, "Back then, I sent a dream to those little ghosts in Papagus and asked them to find Mystery. Who knew that the girl's man would actually stand up for her? Originally... if Mystery had joined that war, maybe no one would have died."

Wang Li was silent as he pondered the meaning of this sentence. That girl with super powers was very powerful.

"Unfortunately, her husband joined the war instead. Later, I went to find Mi and wanted to apologize to her. After the girl knew everything, she didn't have any emotions. Instead, she thanked me and said... it was me who gave her dead man a chance to appear on the stage of history."

Tia bandaged the orc's foot, slapped his thigh and calf, stood up and looked back.

"I know the demon will be resurrected, and I also know that the ancient country of Isu will become a high wall in the future, so I ask Mi to help me if there is a crisis again one day."

"But her man just lost his life in the war." Taoist Wang was kind-hearted.

Tia smiled faintly: "But I can only look at the world from a macro perspective, otherwise I can't protect this world."

Tia paused and continued, "Mystery promised me that she would set up a barrier at the Tower of Dam. When the [Black Pearl] descends, the protagonist who carries the history of the [Black Pearl] will come to solve the problem."

Wang Li understood, but still felt that Tia's actions were a bit unnecessary.

"Senior, maybe it would save a lot of trouble if you just take action directly."

Tia was silent for a moment, and then her eyes changed.

"Everything has its cause and effect, everything has its light and dark sides. It is my job to lay out the dark lines, and the light lines will be left to the people of that world to handle. If civilization relies too much on the power of the gods, it will only stagnate. I am a spectator, I can give opinions, but I cannot be the screenwriter for them. Gods have a thousand appearances, and I call myself just a bystander."

"So the last resort you made... was to let Atrus solve the story of this world by himself?"

"Who knows."

Tia pulled a bottle of wine out of the package, took a sip, and thought about it.

"Maybe let fate take care of everything."

Wang Li shook his head: "Destiny... the topic is too... too broad, I can't comprehend it."

Tia looked at Wang Li with a smile.

"Master Wang, we can think of some things more narrowly. Life is destiny itself."

……

The Obsidian Kingdom.

Misty forest.

Mi sat on the ruins of the lighthouse, looking out at the world across the sea. She seemed to be able to see the Tower of Dam.

"That's it..."

The girl smiled slightly, as kind as the spring breeze.

"It turns out that you who came to me in the first place are the answer."

She stood up and turned around.

As a ghost, she fulfilled her final agreement with the goddess, so the time has come.

"I originally thought... I would have to stay here for hundreds or even thousands of years, but I didn't expect it would be less than a hundred years..."

Mi saw the shadow of a man standing at the entrance of the forest. This was the lover she had been thinking about day and night.

The misty ghost appeared deep in the woods and said in a hoarse voice: "Your lover is just outside the forest and has been guarding you for sixty years."

Mystery smiled faintly.

She nodded.

The translucent body floated to the ground, and when it stepped on the grass, it began to turn into a solid body from the bare feet, then reached out and held the hand of the lover.

Mystery and her lover walked out of the forest and disappeared.

Maybe it was reincarnation, or rebirth, or it disappeared into thin air, everything returned to silence, the unknown hero left footprints in the dark corner of the world, and finally left quietly.
