I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 767 Clearance
"Instance: Epidemic Suppression Tower."

"completed."

The game prompt box popped up again, with light text on it.

When everything becomes a game, nothing seems to matter anymore.

From this perspective, the ordeal that had troubled Qi Se for so long was nothing more than a copy.

Those NPCs and characters are not living beings, but are placed somewhere in the background waiting for the protagonist to arrive. The protagonist with a higher perspective passes through the background board spread out in front of the curtain, killing monsters, defeating bosses, completing tasks, and saving the world in a detached attitude.

Mo Ling's thoughts suddenly became fuzzy. The hole left after the cyst disappeared was pitch black. Through that pure hole, he seemed to see a lot of things.

What will you see when you make a hole in the background of the world?

His vision slowly reached out to the hole. He wanted to see what was outside the hole before the purple light filled it up again.

Is it the audience outside the screen?
Or are they the eyes beyond the words?

After Mo Ling had the idea of ​​spying outside, an inexplicable fear suddenly arose in his heart.

I don't know the reason or purpose of that fear.

"What am I afraid of?"

Mo Ling didn't know what he was afraid of...

Is it the fear of the unknown? It seems not. It is just a void. There is nothing. Where does the unknown come from?

“Just a look.”

As Mo Ling was thinking, his vision was getting closer and closer, almost reaching the edge of the hole.

But at this moment, the Guardian Sword in his hand trembled, directly interrupting Mo Ling's concentration.

"Immune response one billion three hundred and eighty-two million seven hundred and fifty-fourth time, success."

"The results of the immune organ self-examination are normal. Continue to protect."

It turned out to be another broadcast...

Mo Ling breathed a sigh of relief. His action of clearing the cyst just now was probably considered an immune response.

After thinking it through, Mo Ling looked at the hole again, wanting to continue what he had just done, but after being interrupted for a while, the hole had been completely filled with purple light.

"late."

Mo Ling thus lost the opportunity to find out.

Although it was a bit of a pity, it was not a big deal. Mo Ling shook his head and didn't care about it anymore.

There are many more opportunities like this, so this one won’t make a difference.

Right now, the most important thing is the sword in my hand.

The source of the light plague has been eliminated, but the purple color seems to still remain in an organized state, and it is more thorough than other colors, and even consciousness can no longer be condensed.

In addition, there is another very important question:
"How do I get out of here?"

Although the copy was over, Mo Ling was still trapped on the seventh floor of the Epidemic Suppression Tower.

Just when Mo Ling was confused, the Guardian Sword in his hand seemed to sense his troubles and automatically floated up and pointed in a direction.

"What do you mean? That's the exit?"

Mo Ling followed the guidance of the Guardian Sword and walked through an area where purple air was condensed. As expected, he found a big door behind the thick purple light.

Moreover, this gate seems to be pointing downwards...

"It's really an exit." Mo Ling thanked the sword in his hand, not caring whether it could hear him or not, and slowly walked into the door. After a flash of light, the surrounding purple light gradually turned blue.

As the vision became clear, two familiar figures appeared in front of Mo Ling.

"Captain, I see the mission is complete! Did you defeat the boss? What did the boss look like? What did it explode? Let me see! Let me see!"

The Rejoicer came up excitedly, circling around Mo Ling, looking at the little purple on his body and the guardian sword in his hand.

"Is this the Guardian's Sword?" The Joyer gently stretched out his hand, wanting to touch it, but was pushed away by a blue light.

The Joyful One immediately turned around and looked at Lan Yu.

"Can't you even look at it?"

"No." Lan Yu was very determined and did not give the pleasure seeker any chance.

Lan Yu slowly walked up to Mo Ling, looked at the Guardian Sword in Mo Ling's hand, and was silent for a long time.

Then there was a deep bow.

"Thanks……"

The thin skeleton bent down and faced Mo Ling.

Mo Ling quickly reached out to lift it up, looking at the purple sword in his hand, not knowing what to do.

“Can it ever be restored to its original state?”

"No, organization is irreversible. It's easy to disperse light, but it's hard to aggregate it. It disperses itself so thoroughly, it's even harder to aggregate it again."

Lan Yu explained helplessly: "Only by completely dispersing it can the light plague be sealed. The higher the concentration of photons, the faster the light plague spreads, so it must do this."

"This sword...how can I return it to you? Can you get the purple light out of it?" Mo Ling asked curiously.

"No, you don't have to return it. You can take it away." Lan Yu's words shocked Mo Ling.

"No need to pay it back? Then what about Spectrum's immune system?"

"This is just part of it. The immune organs are everywhere, so this little bit doesn't matter. Without the consumption of the light plague, the immune system will recover quickly, and then a new guardian sword will be produced." Lan Yu explained calmly.

At this time, the reveler on the side interrupted again: "The equipment in the dungeon will refresh. If you take one, a new one will appear inside. Isn't this normal?"

Listening to the words of the Joyer, Mo Ling shook his head helplessly. Its perspective was always so strange...

"So did I really take it?" Mo Ling confirmed again.

"Take it away. This may be a relief for it." Lan Yu stared at the long sword in Mo Ling's hand and whispered softly:

"Too many things to protect is not a good thing."

"I have to protect my companions, the spectrum, and my life..."

"It's too tired. It doesn't actually need to bear these responsibilities, but it always puts everything on its shoulders, making it physically and mentally exhausted..."

"It has never changed. It has been like this since the first time it took in those little creatures. It said nothing and ran into the darkness to find food. It has been taking care of those little creatures all the time. Only when it is too tired will it start looking for companions."

"It's the same for our group of companions. We are all flawed beings, but it still stubbornly wants to 'save' us, wants to help us find a place to use our talents, and let us find the meaning of existence."

“If it weren’t for it, where would I be now?”

"I guess he's still lost in some corner..."

"Ah, guardianship is such a strange thing."

"After all this time, I still don't understand."
