As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 651 Those Strange Guys
[Main quest update: expel scholars]

[Mission details: The war between the Emperor and the Demon King ended suddenly, but the Demon King did not fail. He used his own power to balance the originally one-sided battle and set up the stairs to the final stage.]

[They are waiting for you, players representing the Cairo race and the symbol of the goddess of wisdom]

[The final stage ahead is "Ragnarok"]

[You can choose to escape, but this is not wise. If you defeat the emperor, the scholar's most powerful armor will be gone.]

Li Nuo struggled to get out from under Cha Bai's crotch and stopped making trouble.

"Why did you come here suddenly..."

He glanced at his own panel.

The ability enhancement Mulan gave was very strange.

Canghuo advances.

[The Devil's Blue Holy Fire]

[Effect: A flame that produces multiple persecution against malicious creatures and demons. Since this is not a skill, the specific effect varies from person to person.]

[Brief description: 5900 players! ]

Again.

Briefly described as a communicator.

Li Nuo looked at it intently.

[The border issue has been resolved! ]

[The "World Core" can only be owned by the protagonist, but in your world, due to the "gathering area" attribute, the protagonist is confused. Denise, Anmi, and Galileo can all be considered protagonists. The "Fire Keeper" next to you is also a protagonist. You can also become a protagonist.]

Li Nuo: A battle for the leading role?

[Tickets need to be made with the "World Core", but we don't know the specific method]

In short, the first step is to seize the ownership of the [World Core].

The process must utilize the "endless" attribute of the Cairo people to win the war.

[If we build a station leading to that place, we will have to teleport you from that world to Basel because there are no tickets. The number of teleportations is limited, and the ticket for teleportation will appear on the leader of the participants.]

Therefore, by then, Anmi and Maljie will each get the permission to enter Basel... Li Nuo feels excited just thinking about it.

"If I had known I would have been the captain."

"Well, we would have been finished long ago."

Malj is right.

[The above information comes from the "anonymous file" I received]

Anyone with an active brain understood what was going on. It meant excluding everyone except Nanami.

Li Nuo: "Our administrator is sending anonymous files..."

Cha Bai: "I always feel like the situation is a bit serious."

Nanami: “Huh? (I didn’t understand)”

Once, when Li Nuo was chatting with Maerjie, he asked him if he really looked down on Nanami. Ma Ge's answer was: Fucking a fool is against the law.

Maljie explained to the fool: "Just think of it this way, I am the emperor's chosen nemesis, a great being born to kill the misfortune of the world..."

"It means that managers may have to join the game." Cha Bai didn't want to listen to Maljie's immature remarks, so he interrupted him directly.

Li Nuo stood up: "Anyway, I'm going to look for Jialilu first, as for you guys..."

Xiao Wu held her head while applying adhesive to her neck and said, "Don't worry about it. Don't you know who these people are?"

Mulan: "The spell will take more than half an hour to finish. You all need some rest time, and then it will be the final attack, brother, right?"

Li Nuo lowered the brim of his hat: "Then I'm leaving."

There was no rush to look at the other abilities that Mulan had upgraded for him, as there was plenty of time anyway.

Moreover, Li Nuo felt that it only amplified Canghuo's ability and was not too surprised. He was wrong this time. Soon he realized that Murando was awesome.

"By the way, Mulan, do you have any invisibility ability? Give me a buff."

"Yes, but you can't do it while you're invisible."

Mulan said as he freed up one hand to cast a rune on Li Nuo.

"Let's go~"

No one noticed anything unusual about Brupp until Li Nuo left. Because this guy is white, you can't tell that his face is pale when he is.

[Di: Our president... has mobilized people to go to the main gathering area of ​​"The End"... He said he wants to attack the End Corridor. You'd better not come back.]

Blump suppressed a shiver in his shoulders.

Kong Beima Yisili thought that the administrator of "The End" had gone too far this time. Not only did he bring disaster to his hometown (although it was not the same parallel world), but he even used his people as guns. He was very unhappy. In addition, he had a grudge against "The End". Since he could not come to the script world where Brum and the others were, he would directly attack the "End" lair, so that Anmi and others would not be able to shake too many people from the "End" main gathering area.

Brump understood the good intentions of their president.

But I always feel that the situation is becoming more and more outrageous.

……

An Mi received the message.

"The empty people went to the main gathering area and started fighting."

Qi Pengfei was a little surprised.

"This is not fun..."

He originally had a group of players that he could summon, but after this farce, he might not be able to summon so many people.

Among the five corridors, the ones with the highest average strength are "End" and "Sora" who have always dominated the list. They are a bunch of lunatics and a bunch of chuunibyou. They fight whenever they meet. It is not the first time or the second time that they have attacked the corridor headquarters. It is nothing strange to them.

So the alternative of "Endless Corridor" came.

Qi Pengfei was quite interested.

"Speaking of which, Endless is indeed peaceful. Aside from a major conflict with Eternal Life many years ago, I haven't seen them engage in large-scale battles with others."

“Because they have a great manager.”

An Mi thought of what the [Scholar] had told him before. The manager of the Endless Corridor was the most special one. Because he was too strong, other managers avoided direct friction with him. As for players being hunted, it was a personal matter. As long as you don't steal the rest of my house, it doesn't matter.

"It's always hard to guess what our managers are thinking, and I'm not interested in it. After all, we are all just pawns."

As An Mi spoke, he looked not far away.

He walked forward and came to an abandoned building that had been bombed into ruins, and stood in front of a broken body.

"Same to you about the chess pieces, Galileo."

In the broken building, Jialilu sat on the ground, one hand on a toppled chair, his back against the wall, steel bars on his head, shadows covering his face, his mouth curved, his eyes cunning, his body with internal organs leaking out, a devil lying in a pool of blood.

"I'm so happy. I finally meet the Emperor whom I've always talked about."

An Mi was standing not far from him. When she took a step towards him, Qi Pengfei called out, "Be careful..."

Jialilu has caused too many troubles. Qi Pengfei believes that this guy might still be plotting something, and he might even be able to drag the emperor down with him.

"It's ok."

An Mi walked over without caring.

"You have no more tricks left. When a cautious conductor's body is broken, it means that he has used up all his trump cards."

"Yes, for you, the act of committing suicide bombing is too low and incompetent."

"So, what are you doing?"

An Mi walked in front of him, and his pupils, which were free of any emotion, rarely looked at a living being at eye level.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Jialilu's mouth: "Who doesn't want to see the guests they have chosen at the last minute?"

An Mi: "You mean the entrants?"

Jialilu: "Yes, you, me, the priest, the fire keeper, the Cairo people, the descendants of dragons, those things that existed in history, and the high gods are all participants. I am setting a stage for you. You should feel it, right?"

"Yeah." An Mi said, "The Cairo army is on its way, and those guys are about to take action, but you even pulled out the power of the Border Prison, so what is your purpose?"

Jialilu: "Why do you care so much about my purpose?"

An Mi: “…”

Jialilu's question stumped An Mi.

The answer is [scholar].

An Mi and the [Scholar] have a contract. In the "End Corridor", the contract is of great significance, and he cannot give up the [Scholar].

Jialilu: "What are you afraid of?"

An Mi: “…”

Jialilu: "What do you want?"

An Mi: “…”

Qi Pengfei had already pulled out his pistol.

An Mi raised his hand to block him: "Let him speak." Then he asked: "Then tell me, what exactly is your purpose? I can't see through it at all."

On the surface, Jialilu was going to start a bloody war. The purpose behind the war was to summon Bianyu and complete the cleansing of the "End" players. But in fact, Jialilu knew very well that his approach would not be able to defeat this group of players, so there was a big logical loophole in his behavior.

Excluding the above reasons, from the perspective of war, if Galileo's blitzkrieg was not thorough enough, he would be counterattacked by world forces within two days. This battlefield can be seen as a madman's obsession with war, but for a rational madman, it seems unreasonable.

The air was quiet for a moment.

Jialilu half-smiled and said, "You guys who think you are gods, how would you feel if you saw someone who could kill you with a bullet pushing your heads into the mud?"

The corners of Anmi's mouth moved slightly downwards.

"Yes, that's the expression!" Garilu seemed to see a delicious steak and spit out blood as he said, "My dear Emperor, do you know how pathetic you are in my opinion? You rely on something called a system, on power that is not your own, and you deceive yourself by destroying! Destruction! Destruction! And still destruction!"

An Mi said nothing.

Jialilu continued with a smirk, "What a wonderful feeling, using those things to turn yourself into something neither human nor ghost, and then becoming the master of other worlds, how lovely? How beautiful? What a wonderful dream? When will you wake up?"

Qi Pengfei gritted his teeth and said, "Psycho."

Jialilu leaned forward: "I just want to see how far I can push you as a human being. Death is just a process."

Anmi: “That’s right.”

Qi Pengfei said from behind: "Do you want me to remind you that all his words are actually aimed at..."

"I know who he is targeting." An Mi said, "He did it. He almost forced us to death as a human. He was just a little bit away. But at this point, there are too many things to overcome. But what he said is still right. You and I are actually the same."

An Mi did use a mechanism ability that could only be used once to return. That was the final resort left for Li Nuo and the others, the black dragon's regenerating scales.

In order to eliminate the bugs caused by faith, I even used the power of "save" and "load".

If Baicheng had not been destroyed by Li Nuo, perhaps it would not have been so difficult, but there is no if. An Mi believed that he was indeed being led by the nose and even almost died.

"But you lose in the end, Galileo."

Jialilu: "I am the one who creates the stage, from the very beginning, so your majesty, from the moment the curtain opens, I must die."

An Mi said: "No matter what you say, no matter what you do, are you willing to join us?"

Jialilu was silent for a few seconds.

"It's so disgusting. Go to hell, you low-level creature."

He raised the corner of his mouth: "You lose, Emperor."

Anmi raised his hand, and a large silver sword pierced the air, which was caught by his fingers.

"You still don't want to die, Galileo?"

Black eyes confronted a pair of silver eyes.

Denise retracted her sword, looked back at Galil lying in a pool of blood, and said with a smile: "As a reward for resurrecting me, shall I give you a few more minutes to stay alive to show your gratitude?"

Jialilu smiled and said, "Thank you then."

Swish!
The silver sword blade slashed out a wave of air, and in an instant the sword light turned into countless sharp air blades!

Denise's quick sword forced Anmi back.

When Qi Pengfei was about to attack, An Mi shouted at him, "You can't beat this!"

In just a few breaths, Denise forced them back hundreds of meters.

"Abyss Devourers" suddenly appeared all around, which were the protective umbrellas buried by Jialilu here.

Denise put away her sword and looked back at the collapsed wall. The life or death of Galil buried inside had nothing to do with her, but there was a very familiar aura hidden there, so she took action.

"do not fight."

After leaving these words, Denise flew away.

A large number of Abyss Devourers have appeared throughout the city. These monsters are immortal and keep getting stronger, which is very troublesome.

at this time.

The abandoned building where Jiali Road is located exploded.

The fire directly lifted the ground and burned everything around it.

A black shadow appeared above An Mi, and a gigantic abyss demon with twisted lines all over its body pounced over.

He dodged away and landed in the distance.

"what's next?"

Qi Pengfei came along.

"Not urgent."

Anmi looked at the fire that enveloped Jialilu.

"We have enough time to develop faith in this era. Let the ancient gods of Alifa take action and infect the Cairo people as well."

In that case, the [Scholar’s] safe house can be done well in this era.

"Finally, destroying the future that believers love is also a kind of doomsday."

An Mi turned around, leaving behind his shadow, and left.

"Let's go, Qi Pengfei, get ready, the real enemy is coming."

"you sure?"

"Don't underestimate 'Endless'."...

In the fire, Jialilu's half-burned body was unable to move, and his pupil, which could move, moved to one side to the limit of his vision.

"They left."

Li Nuo jumped out of the fire, and the "invisibility rune" on his chest flashed a few times before breaking into gravel and falling to the ground.

"I have been hiding with this rune since I was teleported here. Hmm, I hope you are well."

He greeted Jialilu with a smile.

In just a few minutes.

Galileo met the two protagonists of his stage plays, two completely different people with almost opposite personalities.

"I'll get straight to the point." Li Nuo squatted in front of Jialilu, looking him in the eye, which was completely different from the emperor's condescending gaze at that time. He said, "We are on the same side, right?"

"Oh~ How did you know that?" asked Jialilu.

"Thank you for sending Xiao Wu here and telling me in a cryptic way how she recovered. Thank you for deliberately protecting the [Shrine] and protecting Mulan's safety."

Li Nuo answered with what had happened.

"If I didn't see this, you would have made a backup plan for me, ready to wipe me out, right?"

"You and that woman had an agreement. These are the gifts I gave you on her behalf." Jialilu paused, because the fire had already reached his chest. He used his inhuman willpower to endure the pain of the burning flames and said with his last bit of strength, "You came to see me. Is there something else?"

"Well, since you said you are the founder of this stage play, can you help me?"

Li Nuo took out a list.

——Sky Arena.

——Investor: Dr. Haru Institute.

"Haru is your man, and that research institute is actually yours, so you are actually one of the main investors. I guess you only opened the 'Sky Arena' to get closer to the [Blade of the Hunting Goddess]."

Li Nuo bared his teeth and gave a filthy smile.

"Before I die, let me do one good deed. I declare that the Sky Arena will begin now."

Jialilu squinted his eyes and smiled slyly in response.

"It seems there is something I haven't discovered yet."

"Of course, my friend, the things about high dimensions are very profound." Li Nuo said, "By the way, there is also my dragon egg. Please give me a location so that I don't have to look for it everywhere."

"Take off the buttons on my body. Don't you have a very sensitive sense of smell?" Jialilu had investigated him thoroughly, so he knew that without a series of assists, the Emperor, as the home team, would have too much advantage in this duel.

Li Nuo took off the buttons on his body, which had been blackened by the burnt smoke.

boom--!
The flames rolled in from the side.

Jialilu said in the fire: "Then I will make a final announcement. The gambling game of Ragnarok will be renamed as 'Sky Arena'."

[The main mission has been updated]

[“Ragnarok” renamed “Sky Arena”]

It's not just Li Nuo.

All players participating in this battle, including Anmi, heard the mission announcement, but they received the side quest "Sky Arena".

Players of "End" will not understand why it is "Sky Arena".

The players of "Endless" understood this because the winner of "Sky Arena" was Li Nuo.

This is the fortune-telling result of Taoist Master Wang's "Critical Person". If one cannot believe in predicting the future, but also cannot disbelieve it, then it is better to use it directly. This is Li Nuo's idea.

"Are you satisfied with this?" asked Jialilu.

"Almost." Li Nuo said: "You don't look like that major, who do you look like?"

"It doesn't matter who I look like. I just stay human and enjoy the pleasure of an indefinite war, for the next war, for the next war," said Galileo.

The whole building was about to collapse. Li Nuo took out his pistol and said, "Do you want me to kill you?"

Jialilu smiled and said, "I need to choose the way I die."

The voice just fell.

The steel frame that fell from above smashed through Jialilu's body.

When the blood splattered on Li Nuo's face, he realized what Jialilu's real purpose was.

"Player..."

The sound of a train whistle was heard.

Li Nuo could hear the sound of the train arriving, the sound of the wheels rolling on the rails, could see the faint shadow of the train, and could see the faint image of Jialilu's soul being taken away by the train.

"Oh shit."

In the fire.

Li Nuo stood up, beads of sweat on his temples.

"After all the hard work, including the Border Prison and the Undead, is it just for that person to commit suicide and become a player?"

……

[Collecting memory fragments]

【Gali Road...】

[From "Big Sword"]

"Hehehe..."

With all his willpower and a mind twisted like a monster, Jialilu forcibly reversed the consciousness that should have been lost and opened his eyes.

[Discovering Talent: Identity "Scholar"]

[Having accumulated knowledge far beyond that of ordinary people, he has discovered the truth of information that cannot be explored to its root. He has used everything to touch the door of taboos, and has a strong learning ability.]

[Due to the special nature of your identity, there is a 26%~37% chance that the reward you receive will be related to "Miscellaneous Abilities"]

[The main functions of the current identity cannot be enabled yet]

[The final stop of this train is "Endless Corridor" or "End of Corridor"]

[Passing by the "Newcomer Screening" mission location]

[Confirming your personal values...matching new people suitable for you]

The moment the car door is about to close.

Jialilu stretched out his hand, inserted it into the gap of the car door, and forcibly pried the door open!
"Player!"

I heard that there is a kind of train that receives the souls of people who died accidentally and sends them to heaven, passing through hell on the way.

If you want a complete journey to hell, you will only have a chance if you become that special passenger.

Otherwise, what goes into hell is nothing more than a group of souls and matter.

"Player, is this the name of you gods?"

boom!
He pushed the car door open forcefully!

"My soul, my memory, everything I have belongs to me!"

He thrust his head out and looked down at the red-mottled area beneath the train tracks with a manic smile.

"Yeah, it's really great. Using souls as currency to exchange for powerful strength and a future that dominates everything, but!"

The car door has to close by itself.

Jialilu burst out with amazing strength, and that terrifying pride as a human being formed the willpower to turn everything around, and he pushed the door open again!

"But don't get me wrong! I am a human being! Everything I have belongs only to me!"

Jialilu took a deep leap, jumped off the train and entered the deep red.

In the history of the corridor, the first player to jump out during the rookie screening phase appeared.

Empty trains are still running on the tracks.

The loudspeaker was playing the announcement.

[Found - You need to complete the "Newcomer Screening" to officially become a player. After the mission is completed, you will be resurrected if you succeed, and continue to die if you fail]

[The tasks you will go through are: ...]

[The player is missing]

【Disqualification of players】

In his quest to find out what a player is, Jialilu has captured many players. Among them, he got a "chess piece" that could make a small wish. The wish Jialilu made with it was "to have an unexpected death."

He wanted to use the player's identity to board that train.

Then, he arrived outside the train with the body given by the player.

Blood-red wheat fields.

Black sun.

A lifeless, gloomy sky.

The Elf Queen turned around and smiled: "You are very trustworthy~"

Jialilu climbed up from the wheat field and said with a half smile: "We agreed at the beginning that I would help you fulfill your obsession and find a way to defeat the law. How could I not die after doing all this?"

"You're done?" the elf girl said, "But I think you're dead."

"There will always be successors. You said that." Galileo was a villain. He sacrificed the lives of tens of millions of people for his plan. He deserved to die, so he died.

But he doesn't care about these things at all. As long as he can complete the goals he sets for himself, he doesn't care even if it takes thousands of years, even if he has to sacrifice everything in the world. Disgusting bastard, such a person is more frightening than a monster and is more like a monster than a monster.

So he gave the main role to another group of bastards.

If a group of bastards can maintain their bottom line, they will definitely be able to defeat the almighty god. This is the conclusion that Jialilu came to after facing the emperor.

"How could a human lose to a group of puppets?"

Garilu walked towards the Elf Queen.

"what about now?"

asked the Queen.

Jialilu raised his head and looked around at everything in the prison.

"Since this is hell, just bow your head. One day, you will take over hell."

Speak boldly.

"Here, we establish our own laws."

The queen nodded happily.

The reason why she was chosen by the [Scholar] was because although this woman cared about the laws of the world, she was also cold-blooded.

In the wheat field, tens of thousands of soldiers in the form of souls rose up and stood behind Jialilu. They were the souls of the soldiers whom he had asked to "go first" at the last moment. They were all waiting for him in hell.

"Before that, I plan to get some assists."

The Elf Queen's smile was unusually cold and solemn under the red wheat fields.

"I want to lend them the soldiers of our time."

……

The end of time when the yellow sand rolls by.

The scholar sat in the desert, holding a thick book with pages that turned automatically.

"The Queen is out of control."

"I see. You are using this method to escape from my laws."

The scholar lowered his head.

"Everyone is like this... Overturning the law and changing history. I can't control it anymore, right..."

The book page freezes on a blank page.

A name appeared on the paper: Jialilu, one of the candidates for the world protagonist, had been eliminated.

He turned to the next page with his dry fingers. There were three names printed on it: Mulan, Anmi, and Li Nuo.

The paper reads:
There are only three characters left who can become the protagonists of this world.

The scholar lowered his head, his face hidden by his long hair. His body began to tremble, and after a long time he let out a hoarse laugh.

"I can't control it anymore..."

A line of words slowly appeared in the corner of the page: The final winner of this competition will become the container of [Scholar].

The scholar suppressed the laughter that was about to burst out from the corners of his mouth, but he could not suppress the anticipation of victory in the depths of his eyes.

Did I act like a demon?

From the very beginning, the winner of the script was only the [Scholar].

Unless someone sets their sights on something weird from the start.

……

Basel.

The king sat in the rocking chair, shaking his legs, holding a glass of juice and sucking from a straw, looking as impatient as a kid who has not done his homework because summer vacation is going to end tomorrow.

"Why hasn't the station been repaired yet... Why haven't those guys made the tickets yet... Their efficiency is too low."

Angel rolled his eyes at him.

"It's worthless."

"You're annoying Angel! I just wanted to beat up the demon, what's wrong with that!?"

"What a loser!"

……

at the same time.

Li Nuo stared at his palm with dead fish eyes and trembling eyebrows.

"What on earth did Mulan strengthen me..."

(End of this chapter)
