darkest personality

Chapter 273 273. Illusion and Reality

The thick black fog dissipated, and the picture became a little brighter.

Bai Ye found himself standing in front of the entrance of a cave. There was a strange looking stone statue standing beside the entrance. At first glance, it looked like a toad squatting on the ground. A dark green flame flickered in his chest, and he held a short scimitar in his right hand.

"here it is……"

This is the skinned gnome burrow in the novice trial scene when Bai Ye first entered the game.

"I'm back in the first act scene again?!"

A trace of surprise flashed across Bai Ye's face.

"When I entered the game, I heard someone calling my name. It was a woman's voice. Who could this be?"

He began to check his status, equipment, and main tasks in this scene as usual.

"The personality and props are still preserved, and I finally don't have to be dragged away by the cheating system personality."

This game is finally normal in all aspects. Bai Ye can use his power freely, which also gives him an invincible self-confidence.

Look at the main mission of this game again;
【Illusion and Reality】

[Mission description: You seem to have inadvertently broken into an illusory world. Staying here for too long will gradually weaken your strength. In order not to be trapped here forever, you must find a way to leave here immediately. 】

[Mission objective: Escape from the 'dream'. 】

"So, I am staying in an illusory dream world now?"

And judging from the burrow of the skinned dwarf in front of him, the composition of the dream world is also based on Bai Ye's past memories.

Bai Ye didn't enter the crypt immediately, but turned around and looked around.

"The movable area is restricted."

The movable area outside the cave is only about ten square meters, and any position farther away is restricted by thick black fog.

"Then we can only go into the cave, but before that..."

Bai Ye walked around to the back of the strange stone statue and checked the grass under the stone statue.

But there is no Rick Jones backpack in this position.

"Everything is specious."

After he stood up, he walked towards the inside of the cave.

……

After entering the skinned gnome's burrow, Bai Ye noticed that the surrounding environment was no different from what he saw when he first entered.

Stone statues are lined up neatly on the cave walls on both sides, and flames dance in their black eye sockets.

The ground is paved with blue stones, and there are many corpses of animals or humans scattered on it.

After walking for about 2 minutes, a huge pit appeared in front of it.

Bai Ye continued to move forward, and after entering the pit, he also noticed the white sarcophagus in the center of the pit.

The difference was that beside the sarcophagus stood a tall and burly man with a familiar face. It was the legendary explorer Rick Jones who was killed by the Ghoul King in Burton City.

"Have you completed the task I entrusted to you?"

Rick came up with a stern questioning tone.

Could this be... Rick's soul?

Bai Ye stopped 20 meters away from the sarcophagus and looked at Rick Jones not far away, trying to discern the other party's true identity and intentions.

"I sacrificed my life to create a great opportunity for you, but you failed to do what I entrusted to you. You really disappointed me."

Rick Jones continued to speak in a scolding tone: "Do you still have the face to come here?"

While talking, he also took out his dual-barreled front and pointed it at Bai Ye not far away.

"Tsk tsk... that's too fake."

Bai Ye shook his head and said with a sneer: "Based on what I know about Rick, although he is a strong man, he will never say such harsh words to his former companions, and he who loves his companions will never take a gun." Point to your companion."

"So, you'd better stop pretending and show your real body directly."

Under Bai Ye's merciless exposure, the other party's reaction was quite fierce.

In the last second, the counterfeit 'Rick Jones' still had a stern expression on his face, but in the next second after being exposed, this expression gradually changed into a weird smile that was not a smile.

Along with the change in expression, his body also began to distort. First, a large number of black tentacles emerged from the mouth and eyes, and then the tentacles became entangled and grew, and soon evolved into four thick and with belts. tentacles holding suckers.

……

Encountering the heir again, Bai Ye was no longer surprised or curious. If the slaughter of this monster can be selected for awards, then Bai Ye should be able to win the top prize.

He switched his personality to 'Warrior Disciple', and on the back of his waist, four long black tentacles stretched out like the son in front of him—after these few days of playing games, the bud of his son finally At the most complete stage of growth, the tentacles changed from two to four.

Then he took out two 'Laura's Mountaineering Picks' from his luggage, and facing the attack of his son, Bai Ye rushed up without fear.

The battle lasted less than ten seconds. The advancing Bai Ye used his tentacles to restrain the attack of the opponent's tentacles, and then he picked up the pick and cut off the last two tentacles that the son used to support his body. fell to the ground.

After adding two more pickaxes to cut off the remaining two tentacles, the heir had lost the ability to resist, and was helpless like a tortoise lying on its back.

After struggling for a while, the remnants of the offspring on the ground withered like plants sunk by the scorching sun, and finally turned into a cloud of black mist and dissipated.

At the same time, the surrounding environment has also changed, and it has returned to the black and dense fog environment when it first entered the scene.

- Your prop 'Laura's Climbing Pick' has been removed.

"?!"

The system prompt that popped out of nowhere made Bai Ye feel strange.

"Is it because I killed that monster with a climbing pick?"

In other words, the continuous weakening of power in this scene means that the ability that the player has used in each battle will be gradually removed?

"Fortunately, it's just that the less important climbing pick has been removed."

"I don't know if this removal effect will also affect the personality ability?"

Then you have to be careful in the next step, you can't expose your strong hole card too early and too easily.

……

The surrounding black mist was constantly churning and rolling. After this process lasted for about ten minutes, another calling sound came from a direction not far away.

"Bai Ye, wake up, wake up quickly."

"The sound came from that direction."

Although the endless black mist blocked his sight, Bai Ye's hearing was still able to maintain a normal judgment. He followed the direction of the sound and walked forward step by step.

The calling sound continued, and as Bai Ye moved, it became clearer and louder.

But before Bai Ye got close to the voice, the black mist in front of Bai Ye's eyes suddenly surged and changed, and the thick ink-like mist settled down, showing a brand new scene in front of Bai Ye's eyes.
