As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 778 Again, Marger

The ability to transform into maggots was learned by Cha Bai in Worms, and later evolved to be able to transform into moths and butterflies, but it was not very useful in the past.

Its greatest significance lies in deepening the warlock's polymorph magic. She can actually transform herself into various creatures, but apart from defense, other abilities are not inherited, and it consumes a lot of magic power.

Does anyone have something that can continuously replenish magic power?

Cha Bai took off his mechanical arm and handed it to Li Nuo, then swallowed a pill that would increase his magic power limit.

"Are you sure there's no problem?" Li Nuo asked, a little worried.

"No problem." Cha Bai stretched his shoulders, feeling a little unbalanced without the mechanical arm. "Just keep an eye on the mechanical arm for me. I'll call you if there are any problems."

The mechanical arm is the only thing she can't transform into; it's something external to her.

Jilian stared at Chabai with great curiosity.

"Are you sure the young lady is alright? Maybe we should just forget about it..."

"It's okay, I can handle it."

After transforming, both defense and survivability will decrease.

Unless you specialize in "Druid".

Among the 8893 players in the script, only a handful can withstand the "anti-space" trap set by the "End" setting; perhaps only Cha Bai can do it.

"Everything is ready," Li Nuo whispered to her.

"Once you successfully break in, I will keep an eye on you. If anyone dares to try to kill you, I will show up in time and take them down."

He keeps his word; Cha Bai understands this better than anyone else.

She nodded, turned and stepped toward the coastline. The player's magical blessing from "Sky Corridor" granted her multiple layers of "Hidden Identity" buffs.

Scent disappearance, aura disappearance, aura simulation, energy suppression, panel adjustment, and the ability to avoid being targeted are all applied to her.

The heels slammed against the ground as he strode forward, his legs blurring into afterimages. His skin glowed with a silvery-blue light, his bones began to twist, his muscles contracted and reformed, his figure gradually became lighter, and his hair stretched into the outline of wings.

Transformed into a silver-winged seagull, it flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

The sea breeze howled, and she mingled with the migrating flock of birds, flying to the center of the sea. Suddenly, she folded her wings, her feathers turning into scales, her beak shrinking into a streamlined fish head, and plunged into the deep sea. With her tail fin swaying, she swam quickly toward the isolated island of the Immortal Asylum.

When they reached the shallows, a crab leaped out. Its shell cracked, its body swelled, its carapace melted into brown fur, and two forked antlers sprouted from its head.

Leaping into the jungle, the sound of hooves is light and quick, weaving through the shadows of the trees.

The high walls of the Undead Asylum came into view in an instant.

A person was sitting on the wall. He saw the shadow of a deer, frowned, and was about to make a move when he felt a sense of unease that "the deer should be fine." The player quickly realized something was wrong, but he smiled contemptuously, thinking that no one could withstand the cost of entering the barrier anyway.

Cha Bai slipped out of the man's sight and, under a tree, her body suddenly collapsed. Her antlers dissolved, her fur peeled off, and her body softened into a maggot.

A maggot the size of a fingernail crashed against the barrier outside the Undead Asylum, muttered an ancient incantation, opened a portal the size of a green bean, and darted inside.

Anti-space energy is resisting your invasion.

An alarm sounded from her maggot-like electronic brain, a sound that might also be a pre-programmed voice from "The End".

Inside the portal, gravity is distorted.

She withstood the Undead Asylum's last defenses and entered the asylum.

Infiltration successful.

"That's awesome."

Jiren could see everything from a distance, and he couldn't help but sigh, while looking at Li Nuo beside him.

"Mr. Li Nuo, is there anything else you want to ask me?"

"Why don't you just say it directly?"

Li Nuo smiled.

"Just say it..."

Jiren paused, then said with a hint of worry, "I'm afraid if I tell them, trouble will come knocking. Even teleportation might cause problems... Why don't you go ask those lunatics at the Undead Asylum? I think they have a way to tell you while ensuring their own safety."

Kael Jiren appears to be an ordinary "over-spec" player on the stat sheet, but the fact that the "Sky Corridor" chose him from 1855 players to be their negotiator shows that he is a meticulous and cunning strongman.

"Man proposes, God disposes; we cannot underestimate the power of the world."

Even if he is already considered a god in the eyes of the world?

Li Nuo asked him this question.

Grandpa Jilian chuckled.

"Yes, that's right."

Li Nuo took out his thermos and sipped his tea.

"Okay, it's up to you."

……

After exiting the portal, Cha Bai landed directly in the corridor. It was dark and damp all around, and she wiggled her way into a hole.

No players have been seen yet.

While Cha Bai was still pondering her next move, a large white maggot appeared behind her, twice the size of her.

The giant maggot said, "(You're so beautiful, be my wife, or I'll bite you to death)."

Cha Bai panicked: "▽△△ (I never expected this kind of NTR)..."

Footsteps echoed in the corridor. Cha Bai immediately slipped out and climbed along the wall. A player walked past not far away, dragging a corpse. The deceased was also a player, being dragged along like a mop, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

The man sensed something was wrong, turned around and glanced back, only to see a rat running past.

"illusion?"

The man continued walking forward.

Cha Bai, now transformed into a rat, peeked out from the corner of the wall. Several rats darted out from the dark nooks and crannies, one of them wearing an eye patch.

The one-eyed mouse asked, "□□▽▽ (a new face, someone who's just arrived)?"

Cha Bai knew exactly how to communicate with animals: "(Get the hell out of here)."

This sentence effectively deterred the mice from following, so Cha Bai ran out and followed the player in front of him on his short legs.

She wanted to use her identity as a rat to get a general idea of ​​what was inside the Undead Asylum, and hopefully find the location of the idiot couple, but she was really naive this time.

Several pairs of eyes opened on the dark ceiling.

"There's something wrong with the rats."

Cha Bai felt a chill run down his spine.

Boom! The ceiling was ripped open, and Cha Bai darted out, transforming back into his original form from a rat.

She felt her body being imprisoned by some kind of viscous force field.

Two players appeared ahead, and behind them, a conveyor belt formed from flesh and blood buds surged from the corridor, bringing in a large number of players, each with eyes filled with murderous intent and a playful madness.

"It looks familiar. Never mind, kill it first and then extract its soul."

The player who had been shouting rushed over, and magic energy emerged from his body, transforming into the form of a drill. He crashed into Cha Bai, but she blocked it with her body.

The player was watching with excitement when suddenly an arm rose up, and a heat wave emanated from the palm, followed by another explosion. The shockwave sent Cha Bai flying several meters away.

"Holy crap, this is so hard! Let me try this one!"

The man chased after her, took a steel needle out of his mouth, and was about to stab Cha Bai when a dark shadow emerged from under Cha Bai's skirt. Li Nuo raised his hand, grabbed the man's wrist, and swung his cane backward, blasting the man into the wall.

Silence fell. Li Nuo's senses sharpened, and a chill ran down his spine from the sense of danger. The headquarters of "The End" gave off a sense of terror far surpassing that of the ancient gods. He was prepared to fight if he could, and join if he couldn't.

But the person from "The End" didn't come up to deliver it, because he was the infamous "Residual Blood".

A man walked out from the front. He was wearing a chef's uniform, holding a cleaver. He was burly and strong, with a large head, a thick neck, rough skin, and a face full of fierce features. He looked more like a butcher than a cook.

"People who come to other people's turf and cause trouble like this...it seems like there are a few who really like to do this."

As soon as he appeared, a two-headed man suddenly shouted through a megaphone: "Disperse!"

The remaining players scattered like birds and beasts.

His name is "Jinpula," and all the players in this area are members of his guild.

The player who had been slammed into the wall by Li Nuoyi's cane got up. Half of his face was smashed, and his eyeballs were hanging out of their sockets. He smiled bitterly and said, "I think I've embarrassed myself."

In their guild, losing face is a cardinal sin, punishable by death.

“You’re right, Kelson.”

Jinpula walked over, the cleaver in his hand oozing blood, but just as he was about to strike, Li Nuo casually delivered a basic attack, shattering the player's head.

[One player killed]

Experience points gained: 7000

[14000/800000 points away from max level]

Jinpula froze on the spot, forgetting to retract the cleaver he had raised. He had a high level of perception and had seen many extremely fast people, but he had never seen anyone as fast as Li Nuo before.

"that……"

Li Nuo handed the mechanical arm to Cha Bai and apologized to Jin Pula: "I promised that I would kill whoever hits her... so I'm sorry."

Cha Bai tapped Li Nuo's shoulder.

"There was a maggot that threatened to bite me to death if I didn't marry it."

A minute later, Li Nuo found the maggot in the corridor below and stomped it to death.

Kimpra witnessed the whole thing, his face filled with disbelief. He felt that Li Nuo should come to "end".

At this moment, Li Nuo looked over and said, "I have something to discuss with you. Who's in charge?"

All players of "The End" know the good deeds Li Nuo did in White City. In the eyes of Jin Pula and other "The End" super-level players, Li Nuo can be compared with An Mi, so his status is naturally higher than that of most people.

"Wait a mininute."

Kimpra opened his mouth, which expanded like rubber, and a person squeezed out—a man with long blond hair and wearing "cyber-style" sunglasses.

"I'm in charge here for now."

His name is "Rumi," and because he doesn't like walking, he hides inside Jinpula's body.

He is very strong, approximately 0.7 times the strength of Nanami, 0.72 times the strength of Lino, 0.73 times the strength of Soren, 0.74 times the strength of Amuro, and 0.81 times the strength of Xiaowu.

Rumi seemed to know that Li Nuo was coming back, and even everyone here knew that Li Nuo would come, because everyone's first choice after seeing him appear was not to make a move, which was not in accordance with the rules of "The End".

"I'll tell you the truth later, now please eat this."

Rumi tossed a mint to Li Nuo and Cha Bai each.

[Peppermints for easy communication]

[Effect: After consuming it, it will simplify and refine the language used in extensive communication]

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous. It's just for easier communication." Rumi ate one first.

As old man Jiren once said, those who are about to die have a way of saying things that are difficult to explain in other ways, which is the way we are now.

Li Nuo and Cha Bai swallowed as well, and then Li Nuo asked, "Why? Why?"

Li Nuo asked, "What kind of tacit understanding are you and 'Kong' fighting?" and about the idiotic couple.

He didn't rush to ask about the "Sun Knight's Helmet." As long as the quest panel hadn't disappeared, it meant the helmet was still inside the Undead Asylum.

Rumi replied, "So it is, and then because of this and that, in the end we can only do it that way."

Rumi's answer was extremely informative.

Originally, the "Corridor of the Sky" and the "Corridor of the End" were indeed planning to fight to the death, but there were players on both sides who could tell fortunes or use crystal balls to predict the future, and they detected the abnormal situation in the world.

All players will die.

Shut your mouth.

The less you know, the better.

This is what "The End" saw; as for "Emptiness," there were similar premonitions.

While contemplating the state of the world in the Undead Asylum, the madmen of the End discovered three things that they needed to be careful about.

First, the player who is above level 99 doesn't seem to have come on their own; it's more like they were summoned by some native.

II. The summoner is confirmed as "Fenrir".

Third, Fenrir's strength is questionable; he may possess special powers far exceeding those of the player.

The Healing Church, Blood Therapy, and the worldview of the "Souls Trilogy" prompted these powerful individuals to reassess the global situation before deciding how to proceed.

Therefore, "The End" and "Emptiness" reached a silent understanding. Although they seemed to be at each other's throats, they actually didn't really make a move.

The idiot couple were sent to the Northern Immortal Asylum, which eliminated any possibility of them even fighting, leaving them in a stalemate.

Li Nuo also noticed something unusual, from newspapers and weekly magazines.

In the first two days after the game started, some players caused trouble, but they all behaved themselves afterward.

The players of "Endless Corridor" seem to have vanished without a trace; they may have gone into hiding.

The "Eternal Corridor" suddenly fell silent.

The hatred between "The End" and "Emptiness" is too high, they restrain each other, and have no interest in the main storyline.

These players, with their large numbers and diverse abilities, sensed something was wrong with the world's strength.

Li Nuo immediately went straight to weakening the Ancient Gods, which made it difficult for him to see their strength. However, the level 200 side quest "World in a Painting" in Yharnam also showed that the world's strength was really wrong.

On the train to Cainhurst not long ago, those "immortal" players who were bewitched by the "Inner Eye" may be the answer to the current collective silence of players. Many of them did not quietly hide away, but were "captured".

The main questline is becoming increasingly unpredictable.

The Healing Church, to which Queen Cain is loyal, and the mastermind behind it, Fenrir, become the biggest problem.

Fenrir may be a "figure" similar to Tangula Shantia.

Such a person can be understood as a "world editor," or a "god," a being who stands above all and holds the truth of history.

Ancient gods are not the most terrifying things in this world.

It's important to know that Bloodborne is not a Cthulhu mythos, but a Sumerian mythos.

The ancient gods here are similar to the God Hand in Berserk. They are not true gods, but rather ascended beings, a group of special monsters capable of manipulating dreams and curses.

The top players are undoubtedly above those monsters.

Especially for players of "The End", but there is another reason why "The End" is so obedient.

And that's the most important reason.

Marger has been here.
