Chapter 112 Cold Heart and Warm Heart
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the NPCs below changed.
Most of the NPCs here were the first batch to be drawn into the game. Now, times have changed, and they have been detached from human society in all aspects. Moral concepts can no longer restrain them. It seems that they were born for this crazy world, and their only goal is to keep climbing up in this world.
If it takes a hundred steps to ascend from an anonymous NPC to a high-level NPC, then to reach the BOSS level, it takes ten thousand steps. Now, the unreachable ten thousand steps are directly condensed into one step. As long as they take it and kill Xiang Liangyu, they can directly ascend to the BOSS level, and from then on, they will be above one person and below ten thousand people.
The system asked again in a calm voice: "Xiang Liangyu, I'll ask you again, do you want to save the players who are hostile to you? Don't forget that there is a chip in your body that is always controlled by me, you..."
Xiang Liangyu interrupted: "Really? Then continue to control me. Brainwash and reset. Come on."
Seeing that the system still had that gloomy expression, Xiang Liangyu smiled contemptuously and said, "It seems that you have also discovered that the control chip implanted in my body has been taken out, otherwise you would not have let this group of people attack me."
"You are like this now. I regret giving you my self. Where would you hide the power cord? I need to think about it carefully."
The system's expression suddenly changed, and it screamed, "Catch her for me!"
The commotion below was about to break out. Xiang Liangyu held his forehead with his hand and smiled helplessly. He reached out and grabbed Yun Panshan's arm, dragging him forward, and fell down towards all the leaping NPCs.
She landed on the face of an NPC.
Yun Panshan's expression was extremely horrified. You have to know that the distance between the floating layer and the first floor is not very close. He was carried to the ground by Xiang Liangyu in a state of weightlessness.
Yun Panshan was so dizzy that he almost vomited.
After landing, Xiang Liangyu left him behind and said, "Go to the door to find Quan Shengyan."
Countless NPCs rushed over, Yun Panshan screamed and dodged, running away in the crowd with his head in his hands.
Fortunately, this group of people came for Xiang Liangyu, and no one wanted to be distracted and waste time to cause trouble for him. Yun Panshan was almost pushed out by this group of people because he was blocking their way.
Xiang Liangyu's figure had been submerged in the crowd. The sound of fist-fighting came from inside. Yun Panshan was still in a daze when a figure passed by him and rushed into the crowd.
Xiu Lu's voice sounded behind him: "Hurry up."
She frowned and pulled Yun Panshan out of the door. Then she hesitated at the door for a moment, and rushed into the crowd with Fang Zi.
Xiang Liangyu was like a fish in water under the siege. Not to mention that these NPCs usually relied on mall props, even with their mediocre kung fu, they could only pull out a few strands of her hair in the chaos.
So when Xiu Lu and Fang Zi rushed in, Xiang Liangyu was slightly surprised. She could fight them alone, but it would be different if Xiu Lu and Fang Zi came in. She had to split her attention to protect them.
Thinking of this, Xiang Liangyu grabbed the wrist of the NPC in front of him, held it tightly, and swung it around his side, knocking down dozens of NPCs.
The NPC was thrown out by inertia. Xiang Liangyu took advantage of the fact that everyone was retreating and rushed to Fang Zi, who was unable to defend herself due to the large number of people, and blocked the flying kick for her.
Xiang Liangyu was kicked in the chest, but he didn't feel anything. He grabbed the leg with his backhand and pressed hard with both hands, and a sharp scream suddenly rang out.
Fang Zi hadn't even breathed a sigh of relief yet, when she saw the NPCs surrounding her again, she became nervous again: "What should I do!"
"Run." Xiang Liangyu grabbed Fang Zi's hand and dragged her towards the door. When passing behind Xiu Lu who was still fighting, Xiang Liangyu grabbed her shoulder, turned her body over, and grabbed her arm.
Xiang Liangyu grabbed one of them in each hand and rushed out the door. After bringing them outside, she smiled slightly and said, "Wait for me next to the human-faced statue on the top floor."
Xiu Lu Fang Zi was confused: "A human-faced statue ?"
Yun Panshan understood and nodded gratefully.
Quan Shengyan saw her turn around and walk back to the door, so he subconsciously strode forward, grabbed her hand, frowned, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Xiang Liangyu glanced at Quan Shengyan indifferently. The players in the Life Tower had already rushed out, holding the props that should have appeared in the game, and ran towards Xiang Liangyu with ferocious looks.
Quan Shengyan immediately said: "I'll go with you. I can help you."
Xiang Liangyu: "It's up to you."
Fang Zi said: "But the top floor is not there..."
The moment she spoke, Xiang Liangyu had already rushed out like an arrow from a bow, so fast that everyone could only see her bright red hair becoming a dot at the extremely fast speed.
Quan Shengyan wanted to explain, but after seeing Xiang Liangyu, he suddenly became serious and followed her into the Tower of Life.
Fang Zi: "...A human face statue?"
Yun Panshan quietly raised his hand: "That, I know, I'll take you there."
Xiu Lu raised her chin: "We know the way, let's go."
Quan Shengyan followed closely behind Xiang Liangyu.
The system was still hanging in the air. Just now, he enabled Cloud City to use the game mall, and it was free to buy.
The bulging shopping mall was quickly looted by all the NPCs present. The NPCs holding terrifying weapons and Xiang Liangyu, who was empty-handed at the door, formed a sharp contrast.
Xiang Liangyu's tone was even: "I say, do you really have to work for this ugly guy?"
The system saw something was wrong and shouted: "They are all NPCs that I carefully selected! They are the managers of the new world, and you are the future ruler that I have spent all my energy to train."
"Now, the future ruler has rebelled in public. For the sake of a player, he is willing to go against all his colleagues and save him from the operating table!"
"Xiang Liangyu has been assimilated by the player. She possesses all the evil characteristics of the player. This is a very terrifying thing! Now, I say it again, whoever can kill Xiang Liangyu can take her place and become the future ruler!"
Xiang Liangyu curled the corners of his mouth and jumped directly from the BOSS to the ruler. This temptation made those NPCs who were still hesitating get excited again and rush towards Xiang Liangyu in a noisy manner.
Quan Shengyan held her hand unconsciously, and just as he took a step back, the cold and hard wrist in his palm was pulled away, and then Xiang Liangyu spread out his palm: "Hold it tight, I won't save you if you fall."
Quan Shengyan didn't understand, but still obediently held her hand. The next second, Xiang Liangyu pulled Quan Shengyan and rushed forward. When she was about to collide with the NPC leader, she suddenly jumped up and jumped to the center of the crowd.
Xiang Liangyu fell with inertia, and her free hand suddenly clenched. Her slender white arm suddenly became thicker. The players below hurriedly made way for her to avoid being smashed to death by her falling to the ground.
But Xiang Liangyu's target didn't seem to be that group of NPCs. She circled around and fell to the ground.
With a "boom", the whole audience was silent for a second, and then launched a fierce attack. Xiang Liangyu fought with Quan Shengyan in the crowd. While protecting him unharmed, he listened carefully to the subtle cracking sounds hidden under the fighting and shouting.
When a "click" sound so subtle that it was completely imperceptible to ordinary people was heard, Xiang Liangyu suddenly threw the Quan Shengyan in his hand into the floating layer.
Quan Shengyan was shocked: "Xiang Liangyu!"
Xiang Liangyu was too focused on listening to the sound, and had to send people to the second floor empty-handed, so she naturally ignored the NPCs surrounding her in circles. At this moment, a gun was pressed against her forehead, and at the same time, she was surrounded by countless weapons with great lethality.
Xiang Liangyu stood still, with no expression on his face.
Because in the next second, everyone sank downwards. Except for Xiang Liangyu and some NPCs with a stable center of gravity, all the other players collapsed to the ground in the depression.
Xiang Liangyu bent his knees and jumped towards the floating layer. The ground that had shattered into a spider web was already vulnerable, and this jump was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
There was a rumbling sound of collapse, accompanied by a roar of terror, and the pure white marble floor shattered into pieces and fell to the bottom.
A dark hole appeared before the eyes, with the bottom of the white porcelain wall above the ground as the dividing line. The original wall tiles below that had not been covered by decoration, with an alluring sense of bewitching, attracted everyone who looked or had looked at it, and fell endlessly.
Xiang Liangyu landed on the floating layer. At this moment, the system's electronic screen suddenly flickered for some reason, and then it pointed at Xiang Liangyu on the screen and shouted: "I'm going to kill that damn player now!"
After saying that, the screen closed and the noisy Life Tower returned to complete silence.
Xiang Liangyu walked to the center of the flat, looked at the orderly cables above, jumped up and grabbed one of them. After climbing up, she squatted on the cable to steady her body and said to Quan Shengyan: "Wait for me here. I remember the Ruby Eye is here."
Quan Shengyan nodded, and while Xiang Liangyu was looking for it, he asked, "Why was your statue beheaded later?"
Xiang Liangyu pulled at the cables and said, "Zhuge cut it. His original plan was to modify the system for his own use, but he didn't know that the system had self-awareness. After the modification, the system didn't want to listen to his commands and also transformed him into an NPC in the church."
"He couldn't beat the system, so he chopped off my head to vent his anger before losing, and then he was transformed into an NPC."
Quan Shengyan was silent for a moment and said, "What will happen if these cables are damaged?"
Xiang Liangyu: "This world will collapse. When my statue falls, it will not be able to make this world run successfully. The system also knows this, so it relies on these devices to run the world."
Quan Shengyan: "I thought this was system-wide."
Xiang Liangyu's whole body sank into the cables, and then she emerged from the layers of thick wires, slowly moved on the cables, and then jumped down, saying, "The system's wires are hidden by itself, they are not here. Okay, I found them, come and hold my hand, I will take you away."
Quan Shengyan said "hmm" and reached out to hold her hand.
"Oh my god! What is this thing!!" Fang Zi screamed in shock.
Yun Panshan trembled: "A human-faced statue."
Xiu Lu glanced around, and finally her eyes settled on the human-faced statue. She seemed to murmur, "It looks so familiar."
After hearing this, Yun Panshan thought to himself, "Of course you look familiar." Now he is still a little unhappy. Why are Ji Rendong, Meng Dianxiulu all NPCs, and he is the only one who is fighting hard in the player camp?
But this thought only flashed through his mind, and he threw it out of his mind as he trembled all over.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and the dust it raised blinded Yun Panshan's eyes. Then he felt dizzy, and without any warning, his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
The wind stopped, Xiu Lu and Fang Zi rubbed their eyes, and after adapting, Xiu Lu walked to the guardrail, looked at the vast area in front, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful."
"You will be able to come and go freely soon." Yun Panshan's hoarse voice came.
Fang Zi looked at him for a few more times and said, "Did the wind make your voice hoarse?"
Yun Panshan raised the corner of his mouth: "Maybe it was because of the shouting just now, Xiang Liangyu is here."
Fang Zi was a little confused: "How do you know?"
With a "clang", Xiang Liangyu pushed the door open and without saying a word, began to press a pair of rubies in his hands into the sunken eyeballs of the human face sculpture.
With a crisp clicking sound, the human-faced statue began to rotate, facing Xiang Liangyu, as if confirming something.
After confirmation, the sculpture platform under the statue began to move, and a square of white light appeared in front of everyone.
Fang Zi exclaimed, "What is this?"
Xiang Liangyu said: "This is the exit to leave this world, Yun Panshan, jump down quickly."
Yun Panshan raised his legs and walked forward slowly, but he was not walking towards the exit, but behind Xiang Liangyu.
Seeing this, Quan Shengyan stood behind her and said, "You're going the wrong way."
Xiang Liangyu turned around and looked at Yun Panshan without any emotion. Yun Panshan did not change at all under her gaze, but shrugged: "Don't be nervous, I just want to see her more."
Quan Shengyan: "You've already troubled her enough."
Yun Panshan said "Oh", changed his walking path and walked towards the exit. When he came to Xiang Liangyu, he said: "Xiang Liangyu, I am actually very satisfied."
When he emphasized the word "satisfied", Yun Panshan suddenly stretched out his left hand and grabbed Xiang Liangyu.
Xiang Liangyu seemed to know what he was going to do. He first grabbed Quan Shengyan's arm to prevent him from resisting him. The next second, Xiang Liangyu felt a chill in his chest.
She stopped the hand that was entering her heart and said, "You know, I am immortal."
Yun Panshan's features gradually melted away, and Zhuge Xunzhen's face gradually appeared. He said, "I know, but without this supply of heart, will you still wake up?"
Xiang Liangyu still did not move, and even his expression did not change: "Zhuge Xunzhen, put me on the scale on the statue."
Listening to Xiang Liangyu's conversation, Quan Shengyan suddenly realized something was wrong. He quietly put his hand behind Xiang Liangyu to treat her.
Zhuge Xunzhen was stunned, as if he did not expect Xiang Liangyu to react like this.
"Zhuge Xunzhen! Are you sick?" Fang Zi rushed behind Zhuge, trying to separate him and Xiang Liangyu. But after seeing what Zhuge did from close range, Fang Zi suddenly didn't dare to move.
Zhuge Xunzhen reached into Xiang Liangyu's chest and held her heart.
While everyone was stunned, Zhuge Xunzhen suddenly pulled his hand out, and there was a silver heart on his hand, still flashing with electricity.
Fang Zi: "Xiang Liangyu!"
Zhuge shook his heart and said, "It's a bit awkward. Don't worry, the system will definitely find your abnormality and give you a new heart."
"I'll take this one."
Xiang Liangyu lost consciousness, her body collapsed and fell backwards, she fell into a trembling arms.
Quan Shengyan was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, his hands were already suspended in the air covering her empty heart, and he began to treat her with all his strength.
"You can obviously dodge it! Why don't you dodge!"
Quan Shengyan's eyes widened, and countless complex emotions surged into his heart, mostly anger. He was angry at himself! He had never expected that he would be so frightened that he stood there, watching Xiang Liangyu's heart being dug out.
Fang Zi and Xiu Lu were beside Xiang Liangyu and found that her body was even colder than before, like a piece of thousand-year-old ice, and they could not get close to her.
Quan Shengyan dispelled the emotions in his heart and began to treat Xiang Liangyu desperately with a grim face. His wide eyes stared at her hollow wounds that exposed countless cables.
His eyes widened and became redder, and tears as crystal clear as diamonds fell. In order to prevent the tears from falling and causing irreversible damage to the wound, Quan Shengyan lowered his head, unable to hold on and broke down in tears.
"Why, you can obviously avoid it..."
His treatment had no effect. Quan Shengyan hated his own incompetence more than ever before. His desireless pursuit made him inferior to others since he was a child. He was weak, tiny and transparent in front of her.
He was lucky enough to be given a skill by her, which allowed him to survive in a corner of the world. Without Xiang Liangyu, even the hope of living was extinguished like a dying candle.
He could not hear any sound from the outside world. Quan Shengyan could no longer hold on. He picked up Xiang Liangyu's upper body, rested his head on her forehead, and cried silently.
At this moment he had to admit that the unprecedented intense emotional fluctuations warned him every moment that he, like an ordinary person, had fallen in love with the unattainable woman in front of him.
The figure that appeared in his mind for countless days and nights did not become blurred with the passage of time, but instead became clearer. She was the only light for Quan Shengyan in that lightless sea.
The heroine, who had fantasized about countless beautiful encounters with him, died beside him because of his incompetence.
Quan Shengyan gritted his teeth and refused to cry out loud. Being too excited would stir up the heart that had no sense of existence in his body.
As he felt his heart pounding in his chest, an idea suddenly flashed before his eyes.
Quan Shengyan straightened his body, took off the gold watch on his wrist, and put it on her wrist with trembling hands.
And just when she put the watch on her wrist, the three rotating hands suddenly stopped, as if time had stopped.
Quan Shengyan held Xiang Liangyu in his arms and whispered in her ear: "The three needles will rotate violently when we meet again. This is the proof of our reunion."
"I will always remember you."
Then, as Xiu Lu and Fang Zi anxiously tried to stop him, he stretched out his hand and pierced his chest.
When that still beating warm heart was placed into Xiang Liangyu's empty atrium filled with countless electric currents.
Her broken chest began to heal, and her silvery white skin began to turn back to normal, revealing a healthy color.
Quan Shengyan fainted on the ground, and the ground was stained red with blood.
Fang Zi covered her mouth, knelt beside Xiang Liangyu, and touched her skin with trembling hands. It was no longer hard and cold, but warm and soft.
Human skin, human flesh.
Fang Zi choked up and said, "Xiang Liangyu has grown flesh and blood..."
Xiu Lu suddenly looked up at the sky. After thinking quickly, she said, "Let Xiang Liangyu go to Earth. The system will not let her go. If she is discovered, she will still be transformed. We can't let Quan Shengyan's efforts go to waste."
Fang Zi picked up Xiang Liangyu, feeling a little reluctant: "We can actually hide her where the system can't find her..."
Xiu Lu held Fang Zi's hand and said seriously: "As long as she is still in this world, no matter where she hides, the system can find her."
"Hurry up! The system is coming!"
Fang Zi moved to the edge of the exit and gently put Xiang Liangyu in. She whispered, "Goodbye, Xiang Liangyu."
The exit was closed. When the angry voice of the system came, Xiu Lu and Fang Zi surrounded Quan Shengyan and shouted loudly: "System! Quan Shengyan can't hold on any longer! Save him quickly!"
