The cave revealed its hideous face at this moment. What blocked the sunlight was actually layer upon layer of pollution that had condensed into substance. They rushed towards Ruan Mei's fingertips like sharks that smelled blood.
If it were just an ordinary person, he would probably be swallowed by the pollution in an instant, and then lose his sanity, and even begin to distort towards the true nature of the world.
Ruan Mei withdrew her hand, looked at the pollution entangled in her fingertips, trying to erode her, and blew gently.
The pollution faded away instantly, melting like ice and snow.
A door that screens the strength of those entering.
Ruan Mei made such a definition in her mind. She wrote it down in the notebook she carried with her, then tore off the page and threw it on the ground.
Then, she took a step and stepped into the abyss.
When the black "curtain" was about to touch Ruan Mei, it retreated in a hurry as if it had seen some extremely terrifying monster.
The scene inside the cave appeared in front of Ruan Mei.
There was muddy flesh and blood everywhere, grille-like tentacles everywhere, and pitch-black eyeballs protruded from the walls. They rolled on the concave flesh walls, and then their eyes fixed on the intruders.
The world no longer conceals its true nature. It has removed the veil that changes cognition and revealed the essence of this planet, its blood and flesh, to Ruan Mei without reservation.
"Sure enough, my prediction was correct." Ruan Mei glanced at the scene in front of her and confirmed that her previous practice of letting the life form block the live broadcast screen was correct.
Such a horrifying scene is enough to make people lose their minds at first sight. Even if the people on Blue Star see this scene through the screen, they will probably fall into chaos and madness immediately.
Even if such madness does not last too long, the trauma caused will probably be greater than the punishment of several previous national failures combined.
Thinking of this, Ruan Mei's eyes flickered slightly.
This is another opportunity to further verify my conjecture.
Ruan Mei already had some idea about what the destiny walker, who was suspected to be the messenger of order, wanted to do.
What has the battlefield of national destiny, a mechanism that forcibly connects the world together and uses forces outside the world to interfere with other worlds, brought?
The world's pattern has undergone earth-shaking changes. The rise and fall of all the worlds connected by the battlefield of national destiny depends on the administrator TT's thoughts.
The past order has long been broken, and an extremely tough and irresistible new order is being born, and order is the destiny of the Star God of Order.
The Star God of Order has fallen, and no one can stop the future of Order.
No matter who they are, no matter what kind of existence they are, as long as they can reach the starting point of their destiny, they can occupy the power of their destiny and ascend to the position of Star God.
If TT, the administrator of the National Destiny battlefield, is the one who wants to sit on the throne, then everything he did before makes sense.
Those who travel the destiny are not bound by destiny, but the star gods have the final right to define destiny. Only those who want to become star gods, who are halfway between humans and gods, will be bound by destiny.
As long as he wanted to become a Star God, he had to abide by the order he established, so even if he was unwilling, he had to reward Ruan Mei because this was his new order.
If the above inference is true, then when the national destiny battlefield progresses to the darkest dungeon, he will definitely take some actions to prevent the Blue Star people from seeing the true face of the world and going crazy.
Because in his order, the earth, or all the worlds included in the battlefield of national destiny, have not yet reached the moment of destruction. The demise of civilization can only be caused by failure in the battlefield of national destiny.
He needs these lives' recognition and approval of the new order, just as in the game plot, Sunday manipulates the remains of the God of Order with his family's belief in order.
Just wait for the moment when the player reaches the last level and everything will be revealed.
Ruan Mei thought for a while and decided to give the players another cheat, that is, to cultivate some new heroes and add them to their team.
As long as you don't go beyond the limit, the order-walkers in heaven have no reason to punish you, because this is not a foul or cheating, it is just using your own power and acting within the rules.
Of course, this is something to do after returning. As for now, it is better to explore the ultimate copy in front of you first. This will advance the research progress of the experiment and allow you to get a trump card to fight against the Messenger.
The deeper you go, the more the surrounding environment changes.
At first, you could still see soil and stones, and there was still oxygen in the cave that humans relied on for survival. Later, everything around had long been replaced by flesh and blood, and the air was only filled with the pollution of blood.
It seemed as if it had entered the body of a giant beast.
Ruan Mei stopped. She heard a sound coming from afar, echoing in this tunnel of flesh and blood. It was a sticky sound, like something covered in mucus crawling on the flesh and blood ground.
She looked towards the fork in the road where the sound came from, and several figures in robes appeared in her sight.
This seems to be a group of people, but humans definitely do not crawl forward, nor do they leave a wet trail of white foam behind them.
"The degree of mutation is quite high, even higher than that of Enotia." Ruan Mei analyzed the life information of these people, and they also showed their claws to Ruan Mei, the intruder.
Chapter 40 The Hidden Truth
"Rules are meant to be broken!" A handsome shout rang out from the cave where flesh and blood were wriggling.
The silver bat drew a perfect arc in the air and struck a humanoid creature in a black robe with incredible precision.
There was a dull "puff" sound, and the black robe tore into pieces in the air, and the monster wrapped in the robe revealed its hideous form.
It was a completely deformed monster, without any trace of human appearance.
It was like a worm walking upright, using its tentacles to wriggle on the ground, and ejecting dark white bone spurs from where its mouth used to be as a means of attack.
Of course, under the attack of the baseball bat, the sharp bone spur, which was as long as its height, broke from the root, and the solid baseball bat directly smashed its head into a dent.
As sticky blood flowed out from the crushed flesh, the monster fell to the ground. Its three thick tentacles twitched slightly and then stopped moving.
"As expected of me!" The gray-haired girl holding a baseball bat put one hand on her waist with a proud expression on her face, but if you look closely at her eyes, you can find that they are dull and her expression is rather exaggerated.
The girl is 1.75 meters tall. She wears a white short-sleeved top, a black windbreaker, and a slit skirt.
The simple and plain clothes make the girl look heroic.
star.
This is the girl's name. She is the female protagonist in the game Star Iron. Of course, now, she is just a life created by Ruan Mei based on her memory - a life without wisdom and consciousness.
Just like the puppets in the Black Tower, their behavioral logic follows a preset program.
However, this puppet is made of blood and flesh. Although it looks like a living person, it is essentially a tool.
Ruan Mei planned to create some heroes to reduce the difficulty for other players to pass the level, and the star in front of her was her test before making the final adjustments.
As long as she performs well, Ruan Mei plans to put her on the refresh list of the stagecoach.
As for the test results, they are pretty good.
Ruan Mei didn't spend much time on creating the star, but in this extremely difficult and dark dungeon, she was still able to move forward steadily, which shows her strength.
She cuts through all obstacles along the way, and any monster she encounters is knocked to the ground with the baseball bat in her hand. Her strength is outstanding among all heroes, but it does not reduce the difficulty of the game too much.
No further changes are needed, and the test can be passed.
Ruan Mei thought for a while and decided to give Xing's profession a name, Galaxy Bat Man.
While Ruan Mei was thinking, Xing encountered another monster.
A monster of considerable size.
It emerged from the void and landed in front of the star.
Pi Walker, this is its name, or to be more precise, the monster's former name.
But now, the body of the Pi Walker is covered with strands of flesh and blood, like a diaphragm covering its skin.
On its back, where the flesh and blood gather together, there is a spherical cyst protruding, and on both sides of the cyst, there is a pair of big eyes.
It has a bloody mouth, emits shrill roars, and its tentacles are waving wildly, looking extremely ferocious.
The demon of confusion.
This was the name displayed in the game UI, and its appearance brought Ruan Mei out of her thoughts and made her focus on it.
The rhythmic tentacles suddenly froze, and it closed its mouth. In the big eyes on its back, one could actually see a hint of retreat.
Xing, who was originally eager to try, put down the hand holding the baseball bat under Ruan Mei's manipulation, and Ruan Mei walked in front of the monster.
The fingertips emitting light fell on the monster's flesh and blood, and the mystery of life emerged in Ruan Mei's mind.
"Living creatures are truly amazing." Ruan Mei opened her eyes and sighed.
She knew that her purpose of going to the darkest dungeon had been achieved. The monster in front of her had revealed to her its true nature hidden deep in the dungeon.
The Pi Walker, the most terrifying monster lurking in every shadow of the manor, could not escape from corruption.
It had transformed into a chaotic demon and had long since become an empty shell, a puppet. The essence of this creature was no longer the giant octopus-like body below, but the flesh and blood entangled throughout its body.
A parasite, living in its body, slowly eating away the life of the host, and then completely replacing it with its own flesh and blood.
The tumor growing on the back of the Chaos Demon was not caused by the entanglement of flesh and blood, but grew out of its body, tearing the flesh and blood, breaking the bones, and finally a flower bloomed from the epidermis.
It makes people feel disgusted, frightened, and want to destroy it, but in Ruan Mei's eyes, it is extremely beautiful, and even makes her feel curious and a little desire.
It is about life, truth, and even more about one's own future.
The chaotic and disordered corruption flowing in this monster's body is not one kind, but two kinds. The completely different pollutions are fighting and devouring each other, and will eventually use the one that prevails - that is, the parasite - as the original template to be distorted into a new life.
Unexpectedly, there is someone who wants to do the same thing. Although his means are too low, his skills are too poor, and his talent is not enough to support his crazy behavior, he still fills a gap in his experiment.
In this respect, he is a pioneer, a pathfinder, and of course, a loser.
Ruan Mei suddenly realized why the National Destiny Battlefield chose this place - this planet - as the trial site.
If I'm not mistaken, order will not allow this planet to perish, so foreign aid was called in, that is, the players participating in the national destiny battlefield.
Although the contestants who came from outside the world are strong and weak, they all possess an ability that no creature on this planet has.
They were not born on this planet, and they have not been assimilated by the origin of the planet.
Before the distortion reaches its peak, they are still considered outsiders, and they still have the power to resist when facing the darkness sleeping deep in the dungeon.
The slight touch woke up Ruan Mei who was thinking. The huge monster shook its body gently, or shivered.
It is hard to imagine that such a monster sunk in darkness, such a crazy thing soaked in corruption, can feel fear like a normal life.
Ruan Mei looked at the monster in front of her, saw the fear in those confused and dark eyes, and smiled softly.
She gently stroked the monster's head like a tender mother to her child, completely unfazed by its hideous appearance. She exhaled softly, "Don't worry, you guys are still worth studying."
Chapter 41: Barking Dogs
Four days passed quietly, and now it was the fifth day, and it wasn't long before the deadline of the seventh day.
During the four days, with the help of off-field assistance, the players gradually understood how to play the game.
Besides, there is the mysterious interactive event called "Visiting the Star God".
At first, only Kim Dong-seok, a player from Han River Country, encountered this incident. Considering the nature of this game, most people thought that this was a gambling event with a 50-50 chance of winning.
However, as time went on, more and more people began to encounter the interactive object "Origin of Order", and were able to meet that incredible existence in the void, and then obtain positive benefits comparable to a wheelchair.
Many players were able to pull their teams back from the brink of death or even go one step further and successfully pass the level because of this incident.
So now, before players start a new dungeon, there is a process, which is to pay homage to the existence of the open-mouthed order and the closed-mouthed order.
But even so, this game still seems extremely torturous for the players and spectators.
If you walk into any live broadcast room, you will most likely hear incessant dog barking, which can often last for an hour or so.
This involves a mechanism in the game, the pressure mechanism.
In the early stages of the game, there are very few ways to relieve stress. Whether it is a tavern or a church, there is only one space reserved for heroes to relieve stress. If you want to add a slot, you must unlock it with special items that can only be obtained in the dungeon.
However, the drop rate of this special item is quite low, comparable to the drop rate of opening a can in a certain 2D horizontal action game.
If players force themselves to send heroes who are already under pressure into the dungeon, they will soon enter a tortured state due to the exploding pressure. Once they enter the tortured state, this team of heroes will basically be wiped out in the dungeon.
If the contestants could not collect the remains of monsters and exchange them for purification potions from Ruan Mei, I am afraid that all the contestants would be in a state of torture.
Since reducing pressure in towns doesn't work, we can only think of other ways. After brainstorming, the players found that reducing pressure through hero skills is also a good option.
Dog trainer, this profession has entered the players' field of vision. The characteristic of this profession is that you will bring a dog with you when you go to the dungeon, and this dog can reduce the pressure of the whole team through a skill called Howl. It happens that the dog trainer is the hero that is easiest to refresh in the post carriage.
As a result, the current situation has been created. Players have incorporated dog trainers into their teams. When their own heroes are under high pressure, they reduce the enemy to only one person, and then start to reduce the pressure by constantly barking dogs.
It seems simple to say, but in practice, it depends a lot on luck. You must know that the enemy's critical hit will also put pressure on your own hero, and the pressure relief from dog barking is reduced by single digits.
Once the luck is too bad and the enemy frequently hits critical hits, the decompression process will be extended to dozens of rounds, taking one or two hours, and the audience can only stare at the players repeating the dog-barking operations.
The official hosts and guests are the worst off. The audience can turn off the live broadcast if they get bored, but they can only sit in front of the screen miserably, with their backs straight, watching the dog barking non-stop, while also talking about all sorts of random topics to prevent the atmosphere in the live broadcast room from cooling down.
Do you know what it's like to stare at a barking dog for hours every day?!
It was visibly apparent that these people had become haggard, so that the original three eight-hour shifts had now been changed to a rotation every four hours, and getting off work had become the moment that all the hosts and guests looked forward to the most.
