As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 576 Denise is Smiling
Basel.

The thing the king feared most happened.

"Those bastards have run to the Terminus' territory."

He scratched his hair hard, with a particularly painful expression.

The computer screen reads, [World Tree Notice: Player 5900 disappeared in the "End" area and has entered the corridor gathering area. The specific location cannot be identified and the behavior cannot be interfered with.]

"Angel, I saw them go to the gathering area of ​​'The End', but I can't tell which one."

Angel walked past him holding artificial flowers, looked at him with pitiful eyes, ignored him, and walked straight to the balcony.

"Angel, Angel, Angel, what do you say we should do?"

"..."

"Angel, that place is none of my business."

"..."

"Angel, do you think I should..."

"You're just looking for an excuse to go over and fight the demon."

Angel revealed the truth.

Players thought that the enemy of the "Endless Corridor" has always been the "Eternal Corridor". In fact, the "Endless Corridor" and the "Endless Corridor", one strong and one weak, are the real rivals, because the managers of these two corridors have a grudge.

The king smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's OK. He can't beat me, but I can beat him to death."

Angel walked back into the house, closed the balcony door, and said, "Carl, managers cannot interfere with players' games, especially games across corridors. You know this better than me."

The king thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Do you think... the administrator of the End cares about this rule?"

He paused and said, "Three hundred and sixteen years ago, the 'Eternal Life Corridor' broke through a certain gathering area of ​​'The End'. It seemed that the gathering area was about to be destroyed, but in the end 'Eternal Life' lost. No one knew what happened at that time. Since then, 'Eternal Life' fell from the second place. The truth of this matter is only known by the managers of the two corridors."

The room suddenly became quiet.

"The people who went... were Li Nuo and the others?" Angel's tone was a little gentler than before: "Indeed... if it was them, they might really give the other party's territory... but that is their gathering area, and there are too many gathering areas in 'End', how do you know which one it is."

The king sat on the chair, looked up, and finally clapped his hand on his forehead.

The king looked at her and asked, "You said that boy is similar to me in the past, right?"

Angel nodded slightly: "About 80% similar."

"In that case." The king paused and said, "Angel, he will prepare us to go to the End."

……

at the same time.

Li Nuo and his companions who had just entered the White City one hundred and thirty years ago received a system prompt from the "Corridor of the End".

【Outsiders are welcome】

[This is one of the gathering areas of the "End Corridor". We are currently working on calculating your bounties. Please don't be impatient.]

The gathering area of ​​the "End Corridor" is not like other corridors which have only one place. They are scattered in different worlds. Player forces of guilds or organizations can obtain territory after completing some exclusive tasks. Any player of "End" can enter the territory and do whatever they want as long as they don't offend the organization in charge of the territory.

But often, most of the End players will stay in the largest gathering area, which is the stage of the game "Blaze".

The more an area is managed by an individual organization, the more chaotic and aimless terror it is.

Chaos in the White City.

One hundred and thirty years later, the apocalyptic style of the Great Sword World.

The above-mentioned bad consequences are all caused by the "Twelve Evils of Tianlou" who manage this area.

There is also an unwritten rule.

Among the five corridors, once the first one, the "End Corridor", encounters the second one, the "Sky Corridor", alone, they must fight to the death. In the beginning, there were many troubles due to personality problems, but later it simply became an instinctive reaction.

Back to the present.

After entering Baicheng, Li Nuo and his companions were separated.

Li Nuo and Cha Bai encountered the follow-up punishment for the failure of the previous script. Two of their limbs disappeared. However, under the [Blessing of Shit Block] of Maljie's [Rescuer Effect 5], remote medical treatment was triggered, repairing Li Nuo and Cha Bai's broken arms.

On the other side, Xiao Wu picked up a newspaper that said, "There are outsiders invading Baicheng, and the organization is dealing with them. Don't go to the central furnace area."

[Outsider: Other Corridors]

[“The Corridor of the End” generally does not adopt a mechanism of all-out attack on outsiders, because the mechanism and rules are useless to our players, but they will choose whether to attack outsiders based on their own interests and interests]

[According to recent information data: the probability of attacking outsiders is 97.2%, but the mortality rate is only 91%. Among the 8% that are not dead, 7.3% will remain in our "End Corridor" forever. They will be made into props or gifts.]

At this moment, Cha Bai was standing next to a square.

She saw that the statue was made of a human being, who was still able to move but had no ability to act.

Many hungry people surrounded him to worship. This guy was a player. He was similar to Li Nuo and others. They were a group of people who mistakenly entered the gathering area after getting a train ticket. The bad news was that except him, all his teammates died. The good news was that he was still alive, and when the time came to end the script, the players of "The End" would let him go back.

Why only this guy was left alive and made into a statue? Because one of his skills is to turn people into statues. The player of Endgame just did this to him for fun.

This kind of behavior will also happen in other corridors. Suppose there are players from other corridors coming to the "Endless Corridor" and are unlucky enough to run into Li Nuo, dear demon hunter, he might make them suffer a fate neither able to live nor to die. However, Li Nuo in "Endless" is a minority, but in "Endless", he is the majority.

The player who was made into a statue looked at Cha Bai for help.

He could only move his fingers, and he clumsily tapped out the "Morse code", which meant: Kill me.

Cha Bai and Li Nuo have learned Morse code, and she can understand it, but she won't help them. Life and death are matters of fate, and no one can control them.

But at this moment, this guy was torn into pieces, his internal organs and flesh were spilling out, but he was not dead. A demon hidden among the people rushed out and grabbed his body away.

Cha Bai immediately hid his tracks, and there were "End" players watching nearby.

The effect of [Magic Suppression] helped her hide in the crowd and follow the crowd to a relatively safe place.

At the same time, the conversation in the headset never stopped.

Li Nuo, Maljie, and Xiao Wu, these three chatterboxes never stop. If they hadn't been chatting like they were performing crosstalk, Cha Bai would have been nervous, causing his heartbeat to accelerate or his magic factor to fluctuate abnormally, and he might have been discovered.

"Hey, Chabai! I see you!"

Xiao Wu's voice came from not far away, and her clone waved gently nearby.

When the two women met up, Li Nuo was walking towards a high place. He climbed the stairs and reached the top of a small tower, where he observed the city roads and made an escape plan.

A qualified criminal must find the answer to escape before committing a crime. It may not be actually useful, but at least it will make him feel more confident.

Li Nuo organized all the information in his mind.

Their job is to "expel the scholars", and they have to face the "Twelve Evils of Tianlou" where the scholars are.

There is very little descriptive information about [Scholar]. This identity will disappear on its own after appearing. The only clear information players know is that [Scholar] is an [identity] of "knowledge inheritance".

He could think of three solutions.

The best option is to leave this city and go to the island where Denise disappeared, find a way to resurrect Denise there, and then ride Denise back.

The problem is that there are too many variables. No one knows what is going on outside, whether the danger is more severe, or whether there will be more End of the World players.

If there is a problem in any link, it will be an absolute failure.

The remaining two countermeasures are equally good.

One is to directly discuss with the players of "The Corridor of the End".

This is the one Li Nuo wants to exclude the most. It is a pure gambling strategy. If it were any other corridor, he would definitely choose this one. Only "The End" would not work.

The players of Endgame are too unrestrained. They might agree in one second, and suddenly throw a bomb into the toilet in the next second, and then call the police and turn themselves in. You don't understand, right? Yes, they just don't understand what they do.

There is only one last option left.

Three routes together.

1. Find clues about Denise or the important objects to be gained in this world.

Now that you're here, a thief won't leave empty-handed.

2. Find information about the "Twelve Evils of Tianlou".

This organization is linked to the main quest and their intelligence is very important.

Maljie can turn into a dog to inquire, thus doing it without anyone noticing.

Third, talk to the indigenous people and find out what the current worldview is about.

After all, Li Nuo is the deputy director of the Senior Activity Center in real life. He is approachable and there is nothing wrong with him doing the job. There shouldn't be any problem...right?

After hanging up the phone, he took out his thermos cup and took a sip of chrysanthemum tea against the fishy wind.

There is another reason why the third solution was chosen.

From the moment he arrived here, he felt that something was staring at him, but he didn't know what it was. It had malicious intent, but not strong enough.

Another reason why he ran to a high place was to find out what was hiding in the dark.

"Ah, I can't find it."

Li Nuo screwed on the lid, hung the thermos steadily around his waist, flipped over the guardrail and jumped down from a height of ten meters. After landing, he lifted up the sole of his shoe and found a shallow footprint on the ground. This world is just average in hardness.

He thought that the person targeting him must be a player.

"I can sense basic malice. If I can sense it but don't know where it comes from... most of them are from players who use props."

Li Nuo talked to himself and looked up to check his surroundings.

really……

The scene shifted.

The signal in Li Nuo's headset was gone. He was surrounded by deserted alleys with only garbage and dead starving people. Above him, rows of steel bars seemed to cut through the sky.

Red paper figures were hung on the steel bars, and white paper money was soaked in the sewage on the ground.

"The southern slums." Li Nuo looked to the side and a stone Buddha met his eyes.

There is a line of words carved on the Buddha's body with a knife.

——What karma has led to one’s rebirth in that hell? If that bhikkhu sees, hears, and knows…

The following words are gone.

Li Nuo bowed to the Buddha and recited the following content: "Or the divine eye can see that if one enjoys killing and commits it frequently, this karma is widespread, the karma of killing is ultimate, and the combination is consistent, and one will fall into the root of the hell of living beings. The karma of killing is divided into high, medium and low, and the sufferings in hell are also high, medium and low."

"Sutra on Mindfulness of the Proper Dharma", rebirth in hell.

I don’t know who carved these words, but they show that this gathering area is abnormal.

One, the horror is brought by the players.

Second, the simplicity and weirdness of oriental charm.

Third, hell and demons are rampant in the city.

Four, the madman at the end is watching.

He held down the brim of his hat and took out the [All-Ability Enhanced Black Card] rewarded for the side quest "Time Traveler".

"The effect is that it will be automatically triggered when the battle is dangerous... but it doesn't say what the specific benefits are."

Li Nuo muttered as he put the black card into his pocket, then took a step forward.

After walking for two streets, I saw low electric poles, empty grocery stores, gray bricks, green tiles, and black wood, with a strong oriental style. It was so quiet that there was no human voice, and the chimneys of the factories in the distance were still emitting green smoke.

It's a little weird, but the danger is not here yet.

Until a face popped up at the corner of the alley. It was a disheveled girl. She stared at Li Nuo pitifully, then turned and ran, finally stumbling to the ground and huddled in the corner.

Her white calves were covered in mud, and her eyes were cloudy with fear. The woman looked at Li Nuo as if she saw a devil, and swallowed her saliva eagerly.

"Do not kill me……"

"please……"

She slowly covered her head.

Li Nuo walked over and twisted his cane into the woman's head, bringing out pieces of flesh and blood and spurting blood. The woman suddenly stretched out her hand to grab him, but her body, which was set on fire by the canghuo, disappeared under the blood in the corner of the wall.

She is a demon.

The demons in the world of "Claymore" do not like group activities. They can easily transform into humans who have been completely eaten by them and use this to blend into human villages to hunt.

The human eye alone cannot distinguish the transformed demons, because the bodies of humans that have been eaten by demons can be re-materialized by demons, and if the demon eats the victim's brain, the demon can completely reproduce the victim's memory and thinking patterns.

They have the same thinking ability as humans and have an endless desire for flesh and blood, just like a group of drug addicts.

Just as he was thinking, Li Nuo looked to the side.

A red paper man was hanging in the air, and a human head bounced from it like a ball and hit the ground.

The laughing child, shaking his head, jumped down from the steel support. He was wearing a bloodstained white cloth with a Peppa Pig stamped on his chest.

"Uncle, play football with me, hahahahahahaha..."

The child's running posture was very funny. He jumped back and forth as if striding, his two upright arms swung with a wide range of motion, his five slender fingers stretched out desperately, he kicked people's heads while running, and there was warm blood at the corners of his mouth.

"Uncle, if you lose the game, I will..."

Li Nuo slapped the child against the wall.

"Call brother!"

He crushed the head with his foot, and sticky liquid like watermelon juice burst out and splashed onto the wall. In the dim light, Li Nuo's white teeth were clearly visible.

It's a demon again.

Li Nuo tapped the ground with his cane and walked forward, stepping on the sticky blood.

In the alley, pale heads appeared from the steel bars above. These demons were hiding behind red paper men.

The demons showed their ferocious faces.

Li Nuo raised his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

The witcher was hungry and thirsty.

……

In an open-air tavern.

The burly man held a large bowl in his hand and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

"Who sent that lunatic here?"

Li Nuo's reward was placed on the table.

Behind the capital stood a man wearing a black hat with a nearly round top and a pompom, and the back brim was higher than the top of the hat.

The man bowed.

"Don't let the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple. I'll lend you my knife. That guy is difficult to deal with, so we have to kill him first."

Before the man could open his mouth, the man with the eunuch hat said:

"The superiors have dealt with those 'empty' outsiders. You are the only one who can handle things here. Don't let the superiors down."

On the side, the girl holding the Miao Dao licked her lips and replied with a smile: "You want to use his things to exchange for benefits?"

"Denisa's bloodline is what the higher-ups want. He offered it himself, so there is no reason for us not to accept it."

The girl heard this and said, "Get lost."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man wearing the eunuch's hat turned into loose sand and disappeared.

"Sick brother, what should we do?" The girl walked over to pour wine for the burly man and said, "If you make up your mind, you have to fight for your life, otherwise the one who takes the position will cost you your life."

The man called Sick Brother held the wine in one hand and picked up the bounty notice with Li Nuo's picture on it in the other.

He was silent for a moment.

"kill."

"Then I'll give you my life."

After saying that, the girl slashed her neck with the Miao Dao, and the blood spilled into the wine bowl. The demons jumped out one after another and divided up the girl's body.

The man watched this scene, humming a little tune, and drank the blood wine in one gulp, his murderous intent increasing.

……

Southern slums.

Green smoke scorches the cloudy sky.

From time to time, sharp whistling sounds could be heard from the quiet alley.

Li Nuo walked in the alley, with the stench of bloodbath behind him. Countless demons were torn to pieces and fell there.

"Twenty-six……"

"Not much."

He counted the number of demons he had killed, twenty-six, which was indeed not a lot.

As he thought about it, he took a deep breath and smelled the demon close at hand. He licked his lips excitedly and walked into a small courtyard like a child who had found treasure.

The dilapidated yard and the withered trees are broken.

The sound of flesh being torn came from the wooden house. Li Nuo creaked open the door and saw men and women, young and old, staring at the door with their necks twisted. Their faces were pale and meat residue was hanging from their teeth.

The floor and the bed were filled with people, and blood seeped into the interior of the wooden house like paint, making it dark.

There were five people in the courtyard, all in this room, and they were all dead.

Li Nuo pushed the door open and bumped into the retina of the demon in the room.

next second.

Lively and bloody things jumped out from the door.

The lanterns outside the yard swayed, and inside the yard there was torn flesh and blood, messy spots of blood, shouting, shaking, the light and shadow of the cane, and finally the door of the house fell down, the cane twisted out a scream, and everything ended in an instant.

Li Nuo stepped on the demon's flowing intestines and walked to the closet. He opened the door and saw a girl of about fourteen or fifteen curled up inside. She had big, horrified eyes and was shivering with fear.

The girl didn't say anything, she just inserted her fingers into the eye socket and dug out the eyeball. There was no sound of pain. She gritted her teeth, pulled out the eyeball, and handed it to Li Nuo.

"Brother, I didn't see it. Don't kill me. I'm a human being."

These crystal clear eyeballs were imprinted on Li Nuo's silver pupils.

"..."

Denise's head floated in the petri dish, her silver eyes staring at the darkness outside the glass wall.

Humphs and laughter could be heard bit by bit from the other end of the darkness.

"Here it comes~ Hum la la la~ The demon hunter is here, Denise's bloodline is here."

The player confirmed through a message that the guy with Denise's perception had appeared. She slowly walked out of the darkness and came to the petri dish, her eyes fixed on Denise's head immersed in the liquid in the petri dish.

"You can finally be resurrected, Denise."

At this time, the phone rang and the man turned around and left the room.

After he left, the laboratory was extremely quiet in the darkness.

The corners of Denise's mouth in the petri dish moved slightly, and she smiled.
