As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 564 White-haired Witch
Tower of Dam.

The first thing Tia did after returning was to come here.

There was a lot of noise in the ruins.

There are quite a few soldiers belonging to the Blue Sea Country stationed nearby.

Someone stopped her.

"please……"

Before he finished speaking, the entire military camp fell silent.

When the soldier guarding the gate came to his senses, the woman who had just stood there had disappeared.

Tia stood in the ruins, lamenting that the Tower of Dam had not collapsed despite being so damaged, which was a sign of amazing engineering ability.

"found it."

She dug some black dust out of the rubble.

"Senior, is this what you are looking for?"

Taoist priest Wang descended from the sky riding on the Xuan-Yuan Sword.

"Well, don't underestimate this thing." Tia pressed the black powder with her fingers: "It looks like dust. Can you tell what its true appearance is?"

Wang Li put away his sword, leaned forward and frowned to observe carefully: "Isn't it..."

"Isn't it just a pile of dust?" Tia smiled: "Of course he wants you to see him that way."

Then, Tia scattered the dust into the sky, her pupils fixed, and after reciting a spell, light and fire like firecrackers emerged in the sky.

[Curse Removal: A basic spell for removing curses, but its true strength fluctuates greatly depending on the user’s strength.]

Dust casts dark shadows.

Wang Li's eyes suddenly became solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy, and he subconsciously drew his sword.

"Don't panic."

Tia raised her hand and shook it.

She grabbed the demon's hair.

"That's an interesting move, brat."

"cut."

The evil demon had only one head, and his dark eyes stared at Tia who was grabbing his hair, with a hint of disdain on his face.

"You came back at a really bad time."

"You don't think I came back just for you, do you?"

Wang Li immediately shouted, "Wait a minute, senior! What's going on? This guy is a demon! Didn't the succubi say that he was dead?!"

"You know what to shout for?" Tia squinted at him and said, "You used this trick to fool me last time. High-dimensional demons don't really die unless they meet their nemesis, such as those top demon hunters. Unfortunately, I'm not a demon hunter."

"Then sister, can I beg you to let me make a comeback?" the evil demon said happily.

Tia said, "Just an ordinary high-dimensional demon, but the demon's greed and addiction are like taking a car full of nicotine. He always has an uncontrollable yearning for power. Am I right, Pluto?"

"What do you mean?" asked the demon.

Tia didn't say the deeper meaning. She was not afraid of evil spirits. This high-dimensional demon was just a small soldier to her and could be destroyed at will.

What she was afraid of was the "gate of the border prison".

"I killed you too quickly sixty years ago, and I didn't ask you some questions. I'll ask you a question now. If you answer truthfully, I'll find a way for you to be reincarnated."

"Okay."

The next second, Tia swallowed the evil demon's head, and Wang Li's face turned pale when he saw this scene.

Many eyes appeared on Tia's body. This woman might be related to the abilities of the "ancient gods" or the "demon world".

Finally she spat out some bone residue, turning it into ashes, with a look of uneasiness on her face.

"Senior...I..."

"If I don't tell you, you will find out in other ways, right?"

Tia's eyes closed and she returned to her appearance as a beautiful woman.

"Five hundred years ago, I received a gift. Some bastard gave it to me in my dream. Don't worry about the details. Anyway, I felt like someone from the past was looking for me."

"Old friend? Our king?"

"How is that possible~ That bastard doesn't want to see me in his entire life."

Tia sat down on a rock, took out her pipe, lit it, took a deep breath and exhaled a cloud of smoke.

"I used to be a player. Although a thousand years have passed, there is still something that scares me. That fear made me open the 'Border Prison' to confirm the truth."

She began to tell a story from the past that no one would know.

"As you can see, after the gate to the prison was opened, a big problem occurred in the evolution chain of the world. In addition, two things appeared, one is the 'Soul of Steel', and the other is the evil demon. I think the former should be a prank by a player, and the latter is what I noticed later..."

"High-dimensional demons won't lose their memories easily unless they are severely injured, such as having something implanted in their brains. The evil demons fit this characteristic very well."

"I ate him just now and saw a face from his memory."

Tia's eyes became sharp, but Wang Li could see a hint of...fear in the depths of her eyes.

But at this time, Wang Li heard the conclusion of a "hidden worldview", and he realized that Tia told him all this to give him a gift.

"Senior, would you like me to tell your fortune?"

"Need not."

After Tia refused, she lowered her head, put her hand on her forehead, and sighed.

"It's the judge."

Wang Li thought of the name he had heard not long ago.

Before the establishment of the "Endless Corridor", the manager of the "Redemption Corridor" was killed by the king who was still Carl Elimond.

"He's not dead yet?"

Tia raised her head and looked at Wang Li.

"Maybe he's not dead, or maybe he's just a ghost wandering around the prison. He might have found me while looking for an old friend. I might be the only player of the Corridor of Redemption who's still alive. The evil spirit is just this guy's medium."

Tia paused and took another puff of her cigarette.

"It could just be a similar power. Otherwise, the world is so big, even if he's alive, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that he would find me."

Wang Li thought of the divination he had done for Li Nuo not long ago.

A sign that the Endless Corridor will be destroyed.

"If the judge is still alive, is he here to seek revenge?"

"Impossible." Tia said, "First of all, he may not be my opponent. Secondly, do you think those managers are all petty people who will take revenge for any slight? What's more, I don't think he is still alive."

She stared at Wang Li's serious face and suddenly laughed.

"Just in case, I will seal this world for 10,000 years. During this 10,000 years, no player will appear in this world. We are a master and apprentice. If you still want to see me, you either have to live longer or find the script of this world 10,000 years later."

Wang Li was a little panicked. He still planned to stay in this world to avoid being hunted down by the Luoxing people, but Tia's expression was very determined, so he said no more.

He bowed and saluted.

"The juniors will find a way to see you again."

"Don't be so formal, just treat it as the last time we meet."

Wang Li still bowed and saluted without moving.

Tia sighed softly.

"Ok, I will wait for you."

Wang Li raised his head and smiled like a child.

"Next time we meet, I will teach you how to cultivate immortality."

As the whistle sounded, he entered the train that only the player could see.

Before disappearing, Tia threw him a few balls the size of fingernails.

"Give it to the guys who helped me deal with the evil spirits, so that they won't accuse me of being stingy as a goddess."

When Wang Li came to his senses, the carriage was already cold. He stuffed the things Tia had given him into his sleeves.

Then I started to think about what I should focus on this time.

"First, we need to give the things to Brother Li and his friends. Then, we need to tell them about the 'judge'..."

At this moment, it was dark outside the car window.

In just a moment, it turned back into warm sunshine.

Wang Li's eyes were unfocused.

He continued, "Oh, right, I have to... um, what is it? Oh, right, find an interstellar judge to sue the Cairo people who are chasing me."

Wang Li sat down comfortably on the chair, but felt as if something was missing, as if a "save file" in his mind had been deleted.

……

[Main quest: "Pilgrim" has been completed]

[The main storyline is a competition task. Team "Well, let's try to see how many words we need to say. Wait a minute, it seems like the recording has started. Damn! How did Adam's crappy card get activated without us noticing? Humph..." It's too long... Anyway, your team loses.]

[Mission Penalty: All gold coins will be deducted from the loser group. At the beginning of the next scenario, all players in the loser group will have two of their limbs eliminated.]

Maljie leaned back in his chair, staring at Li Nuo opposite him with empty eyes.

"Hey...are you crying or something?"

"I do not have it."

Li Nuo raised his head, his eyes were red.

Cha Bai explained: "Maybe the tears that I had been holding back for the past ten years have finally come out."

Maljie: "...Ms. Chabai, I have to remind you that tears are not urine."

Cha Bai changed the subject: "Never mind about that. What about the punishment for failure?"

Li Nuo pointed at Maljie and gave the right to speak to Ma Ge.

"Humph." Malger smiled pretentiously and said, "First of all, we didn't have much money before we came to this scenario, and money is a bastard. We can ask Wink and Nanami to give us money. Secondly, I'm a [Rescuer], I can just restore your broken limbs."

What he didn't say was that even if there were special circumstances where a severed limb could not be repaired, the group of prosthetics made by Brother Ma would be enough for everyone to use.

Li Nuo blew his nose with a scarf, and said with sticky snot hanging on his nose: "And we need to lose once. I don't want to participate in a dangerous and unpleasant scenario like the world war."

The screening criteria for "World War" is that all scripts have passed at least three recent scripts.

The real reason why the last world war didn’t end in a life-and-death struggle was because there was Amuro in the “End of Corridor”, but it’s hard to say what will happen next time.

The more competitive the script is, the less freedom it has and the smaller the possibility of earning extra income. For example, with this script, the extra income is damn scary.

The settlement is not yet completely complete.

[Basic reward gold coins: 100000]

[Basic reward experience value: 90000 (loser group)]

Cha Bai forgot to activate [Gatherer], and immediately lifted Li Nuo's chin and said, "You will be mine from now on."

[Focus is on].

Maljie, who was sitting opposite, was shocked: "What did you two do when I was sold?"

[Hidden Quest Line Rewards]

[Basic reward gold coins: 500000]

[Basic reward experience value: Magic Candy*3]

[Extra Reward: Feature Value Extraction Card (Randomly extract 1 to 10 feature values)]

["Ys" World Store Opens]

[Atrus and Fina's Summoning Scroll (can only be used once in the scenario)]

[The special item "Black Pearl" has been sent to the captain's mailbox]

[Pokémon "Trainer" has been sent to the captain's mailbox]

"So, hidden missions are our greatest confidence." Maljie raised the corner of his mouth.

Li Nuo lowered his head and was looking at his panel. There were only a few short words about the growth of the [Silver Cane] after the upgrade: [The release of demonic energy can reach 40%].

He never thought that crying could actually lead to racial advancement.

But what does it mean to release 40% of the demonic energy? He wants to go back and try it out.

"Old Ma, can you let me practice with you when I get back?"

"Can I say no?"

However, after just saying this, the scene in front of the three of them suddenly went black.

Cha Bai: "The settlement is not over yet, you guys can tease me later."

What follows is a long postscript about the world we just experienced.

[In 1601 AD, a film called "Soul of Steel Documentary" was released]

[The film tells the story of a steel spirit's resistance to evil. Due to the strong lighting and special effects of the battle, the extensive revision of historical stories, and the high topicality, it became a box office hit once it was released.]

[With the stage play and movie being pushed onto the stage of entertainment history, Soul of Steel has attracted attention in an unexpected way]

[In the same year, the second Pope of Steel Soul, "Steel Saint", disappeared]

[Later, in order to commemorate this female pope who left without saying goodbye, the believers gave her the nickname "White-haired Witch" and sealed the video of her proposing to the demon hunter in the dungeon as a black history.]

[In 1605 AD, a woman who called herself the third Pope of "Soul of Steel" came down from the Tanggula Mountains. Her name was "Tia" and she was the proprietress of the Succubus Mansion.]

[In the same year, Thea had dinner with the first prince of the Obsidian Kingdom, Oaks von Alphonse Edward, to discuss matters related to the Soul of Steel. During the dinner, the two reached a consensus and decided to abolish the Obsidian Kingdom's heirloom state religion and establish the Soul of Steel as the kingdom's state religion. All members of the royal family converted to the Soul of Steel, and the kingdom's currency was changed from "Mira" to "Old Horse", which was officially implemented recently.]

[During the meeting, the first prince Oaks von Alphonse Edward said that the Soul of Steel, as the chosen one of God, has blessed the Exorcist Church on the continent, and has long been silently protecting every corner of the world, making an indelible contribution to national security, so it was promoted to the state religion of the kingdom. Within one month, all religions in the country are ordered to pay a high amount of money to transfer to the Soul of Steel, and those who have not converted will be expelled from the country, and the stage play and movie of "Soul of Steel" will be passed down as the "Bible" of the church.]

[Ms. Huo Liuli, as the promoter of the film Soul of Steel, has made an indelible contribution to the harmony between the two countries]

[In 1625 AD, Huo Liuli officially became the new president of the Blue Sea Nation. In the same year, under the promotion of President Huo Liuli, the "World of Warcraft Trainer" Alliance was established]

[In 1635 AD, Pope Theia was expelled from the papacy by believers because he never aged, and the Tanggula goddess apostatized from then on.]

[A thousand years later, Warcraft trainers become the mainstream of the world, and Fullmetal Soul evolves from a state religion to a country]

[In 3550 AD, the "cyber revolution" broke out in the Soul of Steel Empire, and the world officially entered the "cyberpunk" era]

[According to historical documents, "Cyberpunk" is related to the teachings of the Steel Soul and is the result of divination by a magical beast that can tell fortunes.]

[In 3898 AD, the Steel Soul Empire began a world conquest war, and society fell into irreversible dire straits. In the same year, the robot's "logic virus" spread among the machine monsters, and the machine monster army awakened racial consciousness, and the world was hit hard again]

[At this moment, Adulf von Ma, who is in charge of the Steel Soul Empire, is preparing to activate the remaining magic factor in the ruins of the Tower of Damm and summon the gate that once connected to hell]

[So far, the world is hopeless]

[Realizing this problem, the Tanggula goddess Tiya decided to destroy the civilization of this world]

[In 3901 AD, the Tanggula goddess triggered a solar eclipse, meteorites fell from the sky, and the world was destroyed]

[However, some people were left behind by the Tanggula Goddess, such as... the descendants of Huo Liuli, the remnants of the ancient country of Yisu, and the Jimmy No. 1 robot who has survived to this day]

[Jimmy No. 1 robot, the soul in his body is called "Kafka". Tia wants Kafka to be the pilot of the old era and lead the new civilization]

……

[Ten thousand years later...]

[A new civilization has emerged (Chapter 522)]

[In 1145 on Kafka Continent, a researcher discovered a document hidden in the dark. It is revealed that there was a civilization on this continent tens of thousands of years ago, and the level of civilization was higher than it is now.]

[In the year 1235 of Kafka Continent, the most amazing thing of ancient civilization was discovered in a certain underwater ruin. It turns out that "magic" exists in this world.]

[In 1242 on Kafka Continent, the "Descendants of Magic" were found. They were the remnants of a religion called "Soul of Steel" ten thousand years ago, and they were also the continuation of the winged race.]

[After that, someone deciphered a long-forgotten document, which turned out to be the first stage play recording of "Soul of Steel"]

[The long-forgotten story says that a witch appeared ten thousand years ago]

She founded the largest church on the continent

[Later generations called her the "White-haired Witch"]
