Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 21 Capturing a "Loyal" Hydra

"We have an old saying, called Heehee 50% off Wei Junjie."

In the living room of Susie's house, Hydra once again used the Tuxiazuo skill to show the gift crab. Yuan Qingzhuo hooked her chin with his toes and showed a sinister smile.

After pouring hot water for Yuan Qingzhuo, Susie stood quietly by the side, looking very well behaved.

"I think that with all the skills I know, I can definitely pry open your mouth."

This time, we must find out what Hydra is hiding.

The will of martial arts radiated from Yuan Qingzhuo as the center and began to secretly influence Hydra's thoughts and cognition.

The magnitude of this will not be large or obvious, but it will give a push at a critical moment, allowing Hydra to agree more with his ideas and opinions.

Yuan Qingzhuo bowed and looked into the eyes of Hydra, who had a tense expression: "I hope you will cooperate with us. I will not treat you unfairly."

"I bother!"

Hydra shouted loudly: "I will not cooperate, and your information is not false!"

"Is that so?"

After a long silence, Yuan Qingzhuo put away his inappropriate smile and looked down at Hydra who was still trying to get away with abstract words.

"Tell me, what exactly happens after you touch the kettle?"

Hydra's beautiful purple eyes narrowed slightly: "Last time in the auditorium..."

But before she could tell the lie she had already prepared, she was interrupted.

"You were lying to me that time."

Yuan Qingzhuo pinched her chin with his hand, lifted it up, and said word by word: "I know, but I didn't want to say it."

Hydra was stunned.

"I thought that after I had the ability to communicate and knew the player's background, I could at least establish a basic level of trust with you."

She saw Yuan Qingzhuo lower his eyes in disappointment, sigh lightly, and loosen the hand that was pinching his chin.

He looked at the ground.

For some reason, she suddenly felt that Yuan Qingzhuo was a little sad.

But the boss of the hardship difficulty will show such emotions when the player...

How can it be?

"I don't quite understand why you won't tell me what you really think."

The young man counted on his fingers and said, "Are you afraid that I will stop you from completing the main quest? But I don't seem to have any reason to do so."

"The initial killing was a last resort because we saw each other as monsters."

Yuan Qingzhuo stared at the face which was infinitely close to perfect as long as he didn't speak, and suddenly smiled as if he understood something.

He pointed at Hydra and spoke suddenly.
"——Because I'm an NPC!"

Yuan Qingzhuo patted his thigh, already extremely happy:

"Because, everything about me and this world is just an insignificant first test for you."

"Even if the whole world is destroyed because of you, it will be restored to its original state when the next time comes, so your goal is to maximize the benefits of the first exploration."

Hydra remained silent. She originally wanted to say "Dark God, start", but she really didn't feel like it.

Because what Yuan Qingzhuo said was completely right.

That's what she thought and was about to do.

Will the main quest be triggered when the kettle is touched?
That triggers it.

Will the world be destroyed if the main quest is not completed?

It doesn’t matter, let’s just destroy the world. Anyway, what I have gained along the way is already enormous.

Next time, or the next time.

In the endless cycle, the peak team or other teams will always be able to conquer this world.

So, even if the world is destroyed a hundred times or a thousand times along the way, it doesn’t matter.

"That's not right, that's not how it works, Morsi."

Yuan Qingzhuo squatted down and called out Hydra's real name for the first time. But she didn't have time to be surprised by this.

Yuan Qingzhuo looked at her and said very seriously: "Even if the world will reincarnate, even if everything will start over again."

"But the blood that was shed, the deaths that occurred on this land, and the suffering that occurred, they all really existed."

"You can certainly be happy that you have a second chance, but you can't ignore the struggle and the suffering."

Yuan Qingzhuo asserted softly but forcefully,

“—this is wrong.”

For the first time, Hydra, who had done it hundreds and thousands of times and conquered many worlds and many difficulties, began to have subtle self-doubt in his heart.

Is the young man named Yuan Qingzhuo really just a gatekeeper boss who protects the kettle from being taken away in the hardship difficulty of the novice world "The Burial of Hibiscus King"?
Really, is that all?

Staring at the serious and earnest young man, Hydra suddenly remembered something.

——Previously, when the system prompted the favorability, it displayed [Seeking Only One Defeat·Yuan Qingzhuo] instead of [The Wheel of Heaven and Earth·Yuan Qingzhuo].

As if out of subconscious curiosity, Hydra threw a skill with a success rate of less than 1% - Eye of Horus - towards Yuan Qingzhuo.

Then, it was a great success.

【Seeking only one defeat·Yuan Qingzhuo】

[Level: lv.1]

[Occupation: Prophet]

[Title: None]

[Erosion degree: 0%]

【property:?】

[Skills: Omitted (Click to expand 1915 types)]

[Horus's brief comment: Unrivaled talent, a clear and pure heart for seeking truth, more than ten years of unremitting perseverance, thousands of days and nights of asceticism and self-reflection.

Most of his life was dedicated to martial arts.

From the moment he first held the hilt of a sword as a child, he knew that he would be the best in the world.

From south to north, and from north to south, he sought to gain an enemy but found one, and sought to be defeated but failed to obtain one.

How deep will the loneliness that arises from this be?

"Three flowers? Five energies?

Golden elixir? Nascent Soul?
Ah.

I do not seek to be powerful by following the path of others. ”】

A completely different introduction appeared in front of Hydra. She read it in silence, and then thought for a long time before speaking as if to herself:
"Is it wrong for me to think and do this?"

But unexpectedly, Yuan Qingzhuo shook his head.

"I do not know."

He picked up Susie, who didn't know what was going on and looked a little confused, and held her carefully and cautiously as if she were a porcelain doll.

"This is my right, not your right."

"Hydra, what is your truth?"

The man held Susie's left hand, and then extended his right hand to Hydra very solemnly: "Would you please tell me in the coming days if I am lucky enough?"

Amid the tranquility of the falling snow, a shrill, tone-deaf singing voice suddenly rang out.

"Come back, General, my proudest belief."

Hydra ignored the hand, she stood up, and actually began to hum a song: "The abstraction is vivid, and tears are flowing for no reason."

Yuan Qingzhuo was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, hugged Susie and started to play music and dance: "I vaguely remember the Snow Leopard King, and the powerful Hibiscus King."

This chorus made Susie's little head numb in Yuan Qingzhuo's arms, as if one of her souls had left her body and ascended to heaven.

At the end of the pause, the two smiled at each other, and sang loudly as if they were in sync:

"Fight off all the evil spirits, and you won't feel tired even if you practice all night long!"
