My Endless Life.

Chapter 186 The Village at the End
"I'm sorry, it's my negligence. I came here so suddenly that I guess you're confused. Please sit down and eat first. We can talk while we eat."

Gel invited Li Qi.

Li Qi glanced at the two of them and sat down opposite them.

The two stupid couples who were showing off their love finally became a little normal. Although they were sitting together, they did not flash bombs like before.

Geer explained to Li Qi:

"Since you are willing to step into the sea of ​​fog, it proves that you are a very good fog explorer. You should know some information about the sea of ​​fog, right?"

"Ah."

Even if he didn't know about it before, after getting the information from the Light Chasing Society, Li Qi also knew some of the situations in the Sea of ​​Fog.

It is true that the Fog Sea is a place where you can never return, but sometimes, some information will be sent out by certain people's special relics.

The outside world's understanding of the sea of ​​fog mostly comes from this information.

There wasn't much information, just some simple maps of routes in the foggy sea and places that might be dangerous.

As for the existence of fog beasts, since there is no relevant information, it can only be guessed by the outside world.

Originally, the outside world speculated that the fog beasts in the fog sea were very powerful and anyone who encountered them could not survive, so no relevant information was passed on.

But based on Li Qi's experiences along the way, there was no information not because the fog beast was very powerful, but because there was no fog beast at all.

If that's the case, then why hasn't the news of 'there is no fog beast' been made known to the outside world?
The reason is also very simple.

For other fog explorers, not being able to see the fog beast does not mean that it does not exist. It is just because the fog is too thick, so they cannot actively track the fog beast.

After all, people like Li Qi are a minority... It is better to say that throughout history, there is probably only one person who is both a human being and a relic, Li Qi.

Perhaps Li Qi is the only one who can successfully observe far away places in the sea of ​​fog.

Because of this, the Tanwu family who entered here did not realize that this place is actually very safe.

Li Qi recalled the information related to the fog sea, and Geer smiled and said to Li Qi:

"Many people say that the fog sea is very dangerous. In fact, it is true. Although it seems that there are no fog beasts, at certain times of the day, the fog sea will produce some special phenomena that are difficult for humans to understand."

"for example?"

"Well... it's just hard to understand..." Gel thought about it and suddenly thought of how to explain it. He asked: "Do you know the City of Disorder? Since you are here, you should have been to the City of Disorder."

"I've been there."

"Sometimes you'll encounter something like what happens in the City of Chaos, where gravity is completely disrupted and even worse than in the City of Chaos... For example, tomorrow there's nothing in the sky, but gravity suddenly shifts to the sky, and then when you fly into the air, gravity suddenly returns to normal..."

Geer tried to explain it in a way that Li Qi could understand.

Gravity suddenly changes, and the person is already flying into the air because of the change in gravity. As a result, gravity returns to normal in an instant, and the person will fall directly to the ground freely.

If there is no supernatural means of relieving force, or something to save your life, then I believe it is clear what the consequences will be after falling from a high altitude.

After giving this example, Gel mentioned several worse phenomena.

For example, a sudden change in temperature, or suddenly forgetting something, or inserting a deadly weapon into the throat.

This is what Ger experienced.

If it weren't for Gel's relics, which gave him super self-healing abilities, he probably wouldn't be alive today.

"But in this sea of ​​fog, there is one place that is absolutely safe." Gel said at the end.

Li Qi glanced at him and asked, "Here?"

Ger nodded: "Yes, this place is called 'End Village'. It is the end of the world and the beginning of the future world. All those who can enter here are the seeds of the future of mankind."

"Who told you this...?"

Li Qi asked doubtfully.

When he came here, no one told him these things, nor did he see any relevant description about this village.

Li Qi felt very strange that Gel knew so much.

"The longer you stay here, the more you will know. You are new here, so you don't understand the significance of this place. You will understand it after staying here for a while."

Ger explained to Li Qi.

According to him, the relevant information about the End Village was not told by others, but the longer you stay here, the more you will know about everything related to this village.

At first, Ger and Chris knew nothing, but after staying here for a long time, they knew everything.

"The End Village... I understand. Thank you for letting me know."

Li Qi looked at the two people who seemed content with the current situation, and stood up to leave.

Chris looked up:
"Are you leaving? I haven't asked your name yet... Oh, by the way, I don't think I introduced myself. My name is Chris, and this is my husband Ge Er. What's your name?"

"I……"

Looking at the two people in front of him, Li Qi hesitated for only a moment before answering: "...My name is Kiri."

"Kiri... I've never heard of that name before."

Chris talked to herself.

Geer said, "Maybe it's the younger generation after us. Let's ask Weiner later."

“…Weiner is here too?”

Li Qi was a little surprised when he mentioned the Black Mist Tanwu family who came from Rubino City.

Geer replied: "Generally speaking, as long as nothing happens, all the explorers who enter the sea of ​​fog will eventually come here, including Weiner."

"Including the Tanwu family who came here before?"

Li Qi recalled the vendors setting up stalls on the roadside and the pedestrians passing by after he entered here.

If we only count the number of explorers who have entered the Sea of ​​Fog in recent years, the number of these people is a bit too large. Taking the past ten years as an example, the total number of explorers who have entered the Sea of ​​Fog in the past ten years is no more than two hands, only seven or eight people.

If we put this time span into fifty years, there would be only more than thirty and less than forty people at most.

But the number that Li Qi saw here was far more than the number accumulated over the years.

In other words, perhaps there are still Tanwu families from hundreds of years ago here...

Just as Li Qi was thinking this, he heard Chris say:

"Time seems to be standing still here..."

Ger added:
"Time in the Fog Sea is always very chaotic. I remember that before we entered the Fog Sea, Weiner was just a Mist-level Fog Explorer. But not long after entering the Fog Sea... probably a few months? Weiner came in and became a Black Fog-level."

"It seems that the few months we spent here are equivalent to several years outside... So Li Qi should have grown up by now. I wonder if he has listened to Carol's words carefully..."

Chris suddenly muttered and mentioned Li Qi's name.

Li Qi's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard it, and asked Geer:

"So you've only been here for a short time?"

"No, it seems that after entering here, the time here is synchronized with the time in the safe zone. Although the time in the End Village is still, the meaning of 'still' here is more like maintaining the appearance and vital signs when entering, and other aspects have not changed."

Gel told the information he had discovered during this period.

Li Qi gave a final summary.

All in all, the End Village is a very strange place.

It's different from the sea of ​​fog inside, it's very normal, and even a little weird. People who enter here will feel at ease staying here and become the so-called 'human spark'.

The time inside doesn't seem to change much, with a distinction between day and night, but the body's vital signs will remain the same as when you enter.

But this is relative. If you are injured when you enter, the injury will slowly recover.

But age will not increase.

Gel once met an old fog explorer who lived more than a hundred years ago. He was still in his prime and even more energetic than Gel and his friends.

"Anyway, that's about all I know. If you want to stay here, I remember the house opposite is still empty."

Ger pointed across the street.

Li Qi looked in the direction of his finger and saw a two-story attic across the street that was about the same size as Gel's house.

After staring at the second-floor attic for a while, Li Qi suddenly asked Geer:
"What should I do if I don't want to stay here and want to go out?"

"..."

"..."

But as soon as he asked this question, Li Qi saw that Ger and Chris' expressions froze instantly. Their expressions became almost identical, lifeless.

The two of them stared at Li Qi and asked in unison:

"Why are you leaving?"

"... "

"Isn't it good to stay here?"

"..."

Li Qi saw with his own eyes that the expressions of the two people were gradually changing into something terrifying.

Obviously, there is nothing particularly scary about the place as a whole, but there is an inexplicable atmosphere of horror that is gradually spreading.

Taking a deep breath, Li Qi clenched his fists, then slowly loosened them and smiled at the two of them:

"Sorry, I was wrong. It's good to stay here."

"Yeah."

The expressions of the two people instantly regained their vitality and became cheerful.

Chris ate heartlessly again, and Gel said to Li Qi with good intentions:

"Don't worry about who owns the room here. You can choose any room before someone moves in. And once you move in, you don't have to worry about others invading, because the room belongs to you from the moment you decide to move in."

"I see, thank you."

"You're welcome, and hopefully we'll be good neighbors in the future."

Gel gave Li Qi a hearty smile, just like the way he looked when Li Qi first met him.

Under Gel's gaze, Li Qi walked to the house opposite, pushed open the door and entered.

As Geer said, when Li Qi entered it, he had a special feeling.

That feeling told him that this house belonged completely to him and he could change the decoration in the room as he wished.

You can also set the blacklist and whitelist in the room according to your own ideas.

Who can enter here freely and who will be refused entry all depends on Li Qi's mood.

"interesting……"

Entering the room, Li Qi couldn't help laughing when he recalled the changes in Gel and Chris's attitudes just now.

But this smile is completely devoid of any warmth.

If Ronnie, who has been with Li Qi for a long time, were here, he would know immediately after seeing this smile.

Li Qi is very unhappy now.
