As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 617: Judgment Day Brought by the Priest and Prince Cairo

Li Nuo's intention was to save Brupu and let him replace Xiao Wu and serve as a bodyguard for the time being. Perhaps the "Sky Corridor" could also become a backup because of this.

There are two issues that must be resolved.

First of all, Mulan can't go there, so the player has to go there alone.

Secondly, you can bring a few players from the "Sky Corridor" here.

Li Nuo pulled the smiling bustard out of the mask.

"I need someone to be treated like a bug."

The Smiling Bustard was searching for his merchandise scroll.

"Do you have a [Stone Badge]?"

[Stone Badge] is a disposable item that Li Nuo got when he entered the dreamland of the White City sewer last time. After wearing it, it will be ignored as a stone. It is a powerful weapon for sneaking in and assassinating. Unfortunately, it can only be used once and he has already used it up.

The smiling procuress searched for a long time and said, "There is a spray called [Air Actors]."

Li Nuo stretched out his hand.

【Air Player】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: After being sprayed, the player cannot trigger any tasks until they create something extremely difficult to resolve]

[Brief description: It can be understood that after being sprayed, you are no longer considered a player]

Li Nuo stared at the bottle of spray, thinking: "You seem to know exactly what I need."

Smiling Bustard: "Hehehe, after all, I am also a person who does business with players."

Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders and sprayed himself with spray, temporarily canceling his "player" identity. Things like robbing a bank were not a big deal. It would be a big deal if there was a bigger noise. It was difficult to cancel the effect of the spray, but the goal was to catch Brup.

Li Nuo: "Cha Bai, you said you had some magic tricks and asked me to help you take a look, right?"

Chabai nodded.

"Brump is a good teacher."

Li Nuo left a message and prepared to leave.

Cha Bai reminded: "Equipment, ability, integrate and upgrade before leaving?"

"Do not."

Li Nuo clicked on the panel.

"I want them to know that I am a weakling."

The words fell.

He disappeared here, and with him disappeared the Cairo-kun whom he summoned.

Chen Shou was confused.

"Weak?"

Cha Bai raised his chin in one direction.

"Well, that."

The repaired [Reincarnation Brain] was left on the ground.

Saving and loading the file twice is the greatest reliance.

"A guy who relies on saving and loading files is just a weakling."

This was said by Maljie.

In the empty abandoned camp, Ma Ge stood by the door of the small house where the terminal was placed, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

The records of Prometheus' fire have been deciphered by him.

"Ms. Chabai, you need to evolve."

……

130 years ago.

White City.

Because of the appearance of the Cairo aliens, the Tianlou organization faced an unprecedented challenge. The emperor sat on his throne, looking silently out the window filled with smoke. He would regret underestimating the danger of those world champions. If it happened again, he would let go of the empty players and the resistance army who made trouble.

At that time, crushing Li Nuo and the others would be the answer to solving all problems.

But there is no regret pill.

An Mi's headaches didn't stop there. They had the ability to roll back the data, which was one of the privileges of those in power in White City. However, all the rollback equipment would be paralyzed once it touched a person with low health.

Because there is a Mulan who they cannot find. The original Fire Keeper represents the parallel line archive of this world. The historical events involved in Mulan have already occurred, and the parallel world will not appear again.

Coming from the end of the world, he can only solve the problem at hand first.

The players who were resurrected in the "Empty Corridor" joined together with the resistance army that had the Cairo people. The purpose of the "Empty Corridor" was also related to the [Scholars]. The existence of [Scholars] was the foundation of this gathering area. As long as you want to clean up the [Scholars], you must kill them all.

He slumped in his chair and looked out the window. In the center was the great circular Imperial Court Gate, with smoke rising from the ruins and debris all over the ground.

"did you find it?"

His teammate was reflected in the window, a pretty girl sitting in a tree, eating a frozen pear.

"No, it's almost there. I'll find it after I finish eating."

"Mana, as soon as possible."

"okay."

Mana stuffed the frozen pear into her mouth. A little girl under the tree looked at her, drooling over her pear.

"Want to eat?"

"Ah."

As long as there is no conflict of interest between the natives and the players, they can communicate well. At least high-level players will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, which is a low-level and clumsy behavior.

Mana opened his own grid, the magic grid, with a total of twenty-four grids, all filled with snacks.

She took out a new pear and threw it to the girl under the tree.

"Put this pear in a very cold place and freeze it until it turns black. Then eat it. It will be very sweet."

The girl held the pear and looked up to thank Mana, but her mother hugged her from behind.

"Don't die!"

The mother immediately snatched the pear from the girl's hand. The child didn't understand, but the adults knew very well that the outsiders (players) in the court were a bunch of crazy bastards, and if you took things from them, there was no telling whether you would pay a price or not.

The public's judgment of the mentally ill and the crazy is narrow. Normal people care about their own interests, but creatures with abnormal brains don't care about these things. They give when they want to, and don't care about the cost, which of course also includes the values ​​they attach to other people's lives.

The girl struggled.

"No... this is given to me. Our food is being used as toilet paper by those people in Cairo!"

"That can't be..."

"But my brother is starving to death!"

"That's none of your business!"

"That's my brother..."

"Didn't you eat?"

The girl's eyes were empty.

The mother looked up and was about to apologize when the mana on the tree disappeared.

boom--!
Several kilometers ahead of them, a roar erupted from the edge of the imperial court's large disc. The sonic boom spread out, shattering the windows of nearby buildings.

The noise came from Mana.

She moved instantly, stepping on the body of a resistance soldier, holding a bag of potato chips in her hand, looking at the people in front of her.

“It’s so hard to find you guys.”

The man lying on the ground was one of the leaders of the resistance. He was a descendant of the dragon and immediately transformed into an awakened one after being discovered by Mana.

A huge monster rose from the ground.

Mana was like a bug under the feet of an elephant before him.

The bug ate the potato chips with ease.

"I told you that you indigenous people should have been killed long ago. Your Majesty the Emperor is too soft-hearted."

Behind the awakened resistance army, there is a group of people, all of whom are members of his organization. The purpose of their hiding is to install bombs made by the "Cairo aliens" in several important locations in the center of the court. Those are bombs that are powerful enough to destroy the big disc, something that has never appeared in history.

"We just want to leave White City, but you won't let us."

The resistance soldier who had awakened spoke in a hoarse voice, questioning Mana.

"Have no idea."

Mana spread his hands, and a few chips in his hand fell out of the bag and broke into pieces.

"There is a rule called 'system' in White City. It's not that we don't let you go out, but something more powerful doesn't let you go out."

"But that's not why you cut off the food supply."

"Don't talk nonsense. The shared food resources are because the White City barrier cannot be created. What does it have to do with us? Of course, I don't deny that we can share food and resources with you, but... why?"

Mana narrowed his eyes and showed a mocking expression.

"Aren't you descendants of dragons? You eat humans."

Mana took out a persimmon from the grid.

"Or rather, you just want to control this city that looks like it can be used as a war fortress."

Dark shadows leaped out from the surrounding houses.

If these black shadows were in the past, they must have been the "infinite soldiers" created by Alifa. Now they have changed their offense and defense and have become the wild descendants of dragons and demons.

Mana bit into the persimmon and the juice overflowed.

"I'm surrounded~"

The Resistance Army came from the indigenous people of White City. Before the timeline was modified, the Resistance Army was nothing more than a team organized by ordinary people in order to get more food. Their biggest advantage was that they knew all the secret passages in White City. Without the intervention of the "Empty Corridor", they would be no different from ants.

But with the emergence of the Great Rift Valley, human physique evolved, and the descendants of dragons, underground people, and Cairo people formed a great racial integration.

The resistance is no longer a mob, but a group of legions with strong fighting power.

The danger they pose is even less than that of Brum's team of players.

If An Mi had pinned the problem on Li Nuo from the beginning, none of the above changes would have happened.

The resurrected Brump is also thinking about this.

What exactly did Li Nuo and his team do to cause such earth-shaking changes in Baicheng?

"no problem?"

Brump asked as he followed a group of resistance fighters.

He was referring to Mana's matter. Just now, his teammate, a female player, had created a magical venue there, trapping Mana and a group of awakened dragon descendants.

"It doesn't matter. There is a barrier you built there, so outsiders can't get in."

"I mean... you guys do suicide attacks, it's totally useless."

"Have."

The leader was a square-headed man named Cairo.

It replaced the original mayor.

The initial resistance army in White City was organized by the former mayor of White City. After Cairo Jun was born, the mayor was abolished. God knows what Cairo Jun did.

"So do you remember what happened in these years?"

Brump kept asking.

“I don’t remember.”

Chief Cairo frowned.

"Just remember we have to beat them, the rest is gone."

Brump was certain of one thing: after the historical revision, White City, as an area where both players and indigenous people existed, could not perfectly match the historical line.

Including, but not necessarily completely including, some things that players in White City once bought have turned into gold coins because this history no longer exists. Only key props and equipment have been preserved, thanks to the repair of the End system. The most serious thing is that some players originally chose White City as their gathering area. After the history changed, their territory in White City disappeared, and they were compensated with gold coins and forced to evacuate to the main gathering area of ​​"End". This is a place that even the system is difficult to repair.

Areas related to the "Twelve Evils of Tianlou" and Mulan have been preserved, including the southern slums where Mulan met Li Nuo. The Ghost Market is a completely player area and will not be affected, but because of Kunqiong's death, Xiaowu and Chabai's efforts, and Li Nuo's final fire, most of the Ghost Market is still in the process of "system repair."

The ability of "The End" can only affect the fate of the original residents of White City, allowing them to overlap with their original lives as much as possible.

But for indigenous peoples like the Resistance who are in direct conflict with the players, they can only be modified forcibly and given an order like brainwashing.

Just like the AI ​​program in the game.

If An Mi had killed all the indigenous people of White City a year ago, there wouldn't be these troubles.

His Majesty the Emperor is still paying the price for his arrogance.

At this moment, Brup followed the resistance army into a sewer. The emergency lights on the ceiling of the underground tunnel flickered, which was very depressing.

To join the resistance army, one must first start from the sewers, which is a strange idea of ​​the Cairo people.

A group of people gathered near the sewer. The resistance fighters huddled in a leaking arched niche, their stiff limbs wrapped in blankets. Some of them used daggers to repeatedly scrape the hardened excrement on the soles of their boots, and the friction between the blade and the stone bricks made a harsh scraping sound.

Because there are many descendants of dragons who joined the resistance army, there are many cute big eagle girls among them.

"team leader!"

The girl with glasses stood up from the crowd. She was a player with playing cards in her hand. She had just taught the natives how to play Landlord, and the winner would lick the loser's feet.

"did you find it?"

Brump pulled her away and asked quietly.

There is another important reason why they followed the resistance in the dirty sewers. Not long ago, there was a key clue at the place where Brum met little Mulan, pointing to the existence of a particularly outrageous thing in the sewer area of ​​​​White City. If they defeat that thing, they can get a prop that is very important to them.

The players of "Sky Corridor" came here for similar purposes as Li Nuo and the others, but were entrusted by the chairman.

They have to find three "keys" that, when put together, can awaken a terrifying creature and use it to defeat the White City organization.

One of them was in the sewer.

But the girl with glasses just shook her head.

"No... no signs at all."

She is a perception-type player, and the strength of her insight data is close to Li Nuo's level. She usually lies down in the script and acts as a late-stage scout. She is not good at combat-related things.

So Brup was very confused. Could it be that he had been transferred by the players of "The End"?
These idiots never considered that the things they were looking for had already been taken away by Li Nuo.

The problems are not limited to the above.

“Can everyone gather together?”

Brump sat on the dirty pipe, holding his forehead and worrying.

He had just met up with his teammates after being resurrected.

The girl with glasses stared at a woman's big dick, observing the futanari posture while explaining the current problem.

"There are thirty of us in total, and only twelve of us have been resurrected. Besides you and me, there are two guys mining in the sewers, and the rest of the idiots are helping the people deliver letters, cook, and look for cats because of their nature."

"Delivering letters to the people... idiots..." Brump's sigh was so heavy as if doomsday had come, even though he knew what stupid things his teammates would do.

The girl with glasses said expressionlessly: "You also know that the problem of our corridor is the passion, whitewashing and honest people. Ah, yes, if it weren't for this, you wouldn't necessarily lose to that 'Endless Corridor'."

"The reason why I lost at that time had nothing to do with this..." "Then why did I lose to Etta and Pippen? "

"It's not..."

"Losing to the 'Twelve Devils of Tianlou' is also..."

"No!" Brump was constantly exposed by his teammates and couldn't help shouting, "I'm just weaker than them. I just can't beat them. I just! Ah——!"

The girl patted his head and comforted him, "Okay, we know. If you weren't so generous when you shared the money, and if Di Meihui hadn't charmed everyone, we wouldn't have to go through life and death with you. We are used to it, so why are you not used to it?"

Brum decided to end the topic quickly: "Gather some information about the changes in this world."

"I've collected them all." The girl nodded and said with a smile, "It's over."

"how?"

"The good news is that most of the curse problems in the world have been basically eliminated, and all things have gained happiness. Then it's all bad news. I don't know who created a big rift, the magic power has been upgraded, the world's strength has increased, a group of Cairo people and a group of robots have escaped, oh, yes, there is also an LGBT bill, and now we have to fight a cultural war. Anyway, the White City is not that dark anymore, but the world did not die immediately, it is being tortured."

Brup frowned, and finally couldn't help but sigh heavily. The guy's handsome face under his golden hair looked as if he was cheated on.

"Cairo... Endless Corridor... What on earth are Li Nuo and his gang doing..."

"I guess you gave them the [Key to Super Time and Space]. Those guys are all kings who don't care about other people's affairs. In our corridor over the years, only that idiot couple can compare with them." The girl with glasses paused: "By the way, you have lost before~"

"Do you have a grudge against me?" Brum looked up at her.

The girl's smile suddenly vanished. "Nonsense! We can't quit! Di isn't here! What do you think we should do? I haven't even fed the dog yet!"

"Does your hellhound need feeding?" Brump yelled, "And can you please stop thinking about finding cats to feed the dogs!"

Who says "Sky Corridor" is a two-dimensional area? Their players have a paranoid interest in boring side quests.

The resistance fighters came over and said, "Let's have a meeting, both of you."

The resistance soldier who looked like Cairo said, "We have surrounded Mana. There is a gap in the area she manages. From there we can directly enter a core position and plant the bomb there."

The girl with glasses: "Then what? It's useless. What we need is to directly deal with the top leaders of the organization. Cairo-kun is immortal, so why not try a suicide attack with a bomb?"

"Shut up, you ugly bastard!" Cairo's aesthetic is the opposite.

So the girl with glasses blushed: "Thank you..."

The leader of Cairo Jun said: "If we really destroy the core area, how can we enslave the people here after we take control of White City?"

Brump thinks it would be better if the world ended.

Compared to immediate execution, he is now in a state of slow slicing. God’s damn “Endless Corridor”, damn “Monster Hunter”.

[Side quest has been triggered: Clean up the core explosion area of ​​White City]

[Task Difficulty: lv200]

[Quest Reward: Skill Upgrade Scroll, Gift from the Dark Magician]

[Mission details: There are several defended areas on the large disk at the core of White City. Even hydrogen bombs cannot destroy their defense layer. Unless it is the most terrifying substance in the world, it is theoretically impossible to complete the mission.]

Brump simply turned off the panel, making it impossible to complete.

At this time, a remote message appeared on his personal panel.

[I have opened a privilege, please come back. ]

【It’s me, Di.】

Brum was startled and used telepathy to convey the message.

"How?"

[I found the leader and cast a layer of "Charm" on him, which gave me a special ability. You can come back, but you need to be identified as "must be killed" by the other corridor.]

To put it bluntly, just let Brup and the others do the trouble.

"Hey...are you sure..."

[The upper-level "Sky Knights" returned from the script ahead of schedule. 】

Brump was shocked.

The "Sky Knights" of their corridor, equivalent to the "Endless Corridor", is a counterpart to the "Anti-Science Alliance" and is an organization directly managed by their chairman.

Only they have this name of "Chuunibyou" in the corridor.

[The president also said that his memory had been affected, and he shouldn't have let you go. It's very strange. Anyway, I'll use my authority to send the things to you. As for how to get them back, it depends on your own operation.]

A teleportation object appeared in Brup's panel.

[Escapist Button]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: Anyone can leave the script directly with this item, but the person who presses it cannot leave.]

[Brief description: The avoider is sometimes the one who takes on everything, because avoiding will make things more and more complicated]

"understood."

Brump put the button away so that the girl with glasses wouldn't see it. He decided that after things were resolved, he would be the only one who wouldn't go back, and let everyone else leave this damned, absurd, twisted and terrifying White City.

It can also be regarded as his apology to his teammates.

The girl with glasses clapped her hands at this time: "Blurp!"

"Well, go on." Brump sorted himself out. He was ready to die, so he said, "I agree. Let's do more damage."

“Captain! Stop it…” The girl with glasses gritted her teeth and whispered, “Look at the difficulty of this crappy mission, level 200…”

"Isn't that great? We do have that mission."

Brump was referring to the branch quest that they set out on after entering White City and cooperating with the Resistance.

Defeat the Guardian of the White City

The mission is extremely difficult and cannot be completed.

But "The Corridor of the End" is best at pitting its own players.

This mission requires Brum and his team to defeat the "Twelve Evils of Tianlou" and give special rewards.

[Each time you kill a player from the Tianlou organization, you will get his random equipment or skills]

It looks tempting, but it is a big pitfall for both parties.

If there is anyone with a mental disorder who really believes it and goes to fight the organization's players, the consequence is that he will be beaten to death. After all, this is their territory.

The girl with glasses felt uneasy.

At this time...

There were vibrations all around the sewer.

The resistance guard wearing night vision goggles suddenly straightened his back.

He rapped his knuckles on the rusty water pipe.

"Someone is attacking the ground..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was crushed into a pile of flesh and blood by a huge force from above!
There was a big hole in the sewer.

A drizzle of rain fell from the sky of Baicheng.

A woman's shadow came in with Xiaoyu. Leader Cairo was the first to escape. At the same time, several resistance soldiers rushed over and turned into potato chips when they touched the woman.

puff.

Mana stuffed the potato chips into the bag, shook it and squeezed it, and the scattered potato chips turned into fragmented corpses.

She stood among the corpses of the resistance fighters, and in just a moment, she killed most of the people there.

"I found it, I found it."

The woman stared at Brum and laughed.

The girl with glasses had a strong sense of perception and knew better than anyone how terrifying Mana was. She subconsciously took a step back and her thighs couldn't help but tremble.

"Brump...go."

Before he finished speaking, Mana threw a punch. The punch seemed very weak, but it broke the airflow and caused a bloody rain to fall from the sky.

There was a flash of lightning.

Brum stood in front of the girl with glasses and activated the [Thunder Shield] to block the attack for her.

"Brump..."

"Walk."

Brum's eyes were cold, and lightning patterns burst out all over his body. Thunder roared, blowing away the girl with glasses and shattering the area in front of Mana.

There was ruins everywhere and the fire was burning in the rain.

Mana got up from the ground and dug out the bag of potato chips from under the brick.

“There’s still half a piece left.”

She held the last half of the potato chip on the tip of her tongue, chewing it in perfect time with her heartbeat.

Demonized!

The woman turned into a half-bodied monster.

Half of his face was ferocious, and the other half was beautiful, like the scythe of the god of death condensed in his hand in the rain. With a hook of his fingertips, the scythe emitted hot light, evaporating the rain falling from the sky.

the other side.

Brump's short hair grew longer, and thunder patterns covered his entire body.

Mana opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"So handsome, I can't bear to kill him."

next second.

Brum flew backwards, with a bloody mark on his chest from the scythe.

He gritted his teeth and unleashed [Thor's Penetrating Cannon] at Mana who was chasing him. The advanced magic cannon pierced Mana's chest.

But the woman swung the sickle without any pain, and Brupp and the building a hundred meters behind him were cut in half.

The city skyline seemed to be drawn by a brush stroke and then pulled up and down.

Players of White City.

The highest level of the organization.

These guys are all able to act as gods in the low-dimensional world, and destroying a city is just a piece of cake for them.

After Mana landed, she straightened her body and tilted it. She touched the wound, which was so big that it could fill half a washbasin, so she laughed out loud.

"That hurts! That's awesome, kid!"

"monster……"

Brum's eyes widened beneath his long hair.

His cut body was being repaired, [Medical Magic: Great Recovery], which could only be used once, was used on Mana's sickle.

Brump envied those guys who had [Relievers] as teammates.

"Monster, I'm not."

Mana tilted his head.

"The managers and the presidents are the real monsters. We are just the executors. But it's very strange..."

She walked towards Brum with a cat-like step, slowly, unhurriedly, neither hurried nor slow, taking the pace of an ancient theater, strolling leisurely in the garden.

"It's weird. If you guys in the corridor want to cause trouble to us, it should be the Sky Knights who come. Why is it your group? Sorry, I'm not saying you're useless. You're very powerful, but your teammates are not."

"Would you like to try and capture me alive?"

Brump smirked.

"No."

Mana responded with a smile.

"It's much easier to kill someone like you than to capture him alive."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sickle blade drew a purple-black arc of light and slashed towards Brum through the air.

boom!
The ground shook and cracks appeared on it. A flash of Brupre lightning appeared and it instantly circled his back. His palm condensed into a lightning array and hit Mana hard.

Mana was blasted out and crashed several buildings before she stopped. She crawled out of the rubble, with her waist bent backward at an angle that was beyond the limits of the human body.

"Before I came here, I made a bet with my companions on how long it would take to kill you."

Brump was gathering strength in the distance when he heard Mana's clear voice.

"It's not good. The time is almost up and I don't want to lose the bet."

Mana's bent body suddenly twisted into position, the sickle cut into the ground, and then slashed downward.

With this slash, the rain suddenly became violent like a river overturning in the sky.

Brum dodged through the slashing gust of air. He wanted to attack, but... he observed the existence of something. On the tallest tower, there was a shadow he recognized.

According to the timeline Mulan knows, Brum will be killed by Mana in this battle.

But the world always gives people some extra calculations.

The priest in black sat on top of the tower.

“This is the highest point.”

"Hurry up, it's hard to get this thing!"

Cairo was shaking the Nokia in his hand.

"Whatever, smash it."

Li Nuo nodded.

"Find a good position and smash the big disc in White City."

Cairo-kun licked his lips.

"I smashed it! Wait!"

"Why are you so scared? Smash it!"

“Will there be any civilians there?”

Li Nuo stared with dead eyes.

"No, the people are all outside the disc. Just aim at the right spot and you'll be fine."

Cairo-kun took a deep breath.

“Smash it!”

The small Nokia was thrown out, cutting through the falling raindrops and crashing into a small house reserved for players in the middle of the disc.

In an instant...

Shock!

A violent earthquake!
Mana, who was about to attack, saw with his own eyes that the disc area where the "Twelve Evils of Tianlou" were located was lifted up.

After a few breaths, the entire disc area of ​​White City fell apart and shattered.

Just like...

Doomsday.
