Chapter 129 The Day of Doomsday (Part 32)
The players did not expect that the Saint, who had been speaking at a normal volume just now, would suddenly become silent. In addition, the other party's lip movements were too brief, so for a moment no one could accurately interpret what she said.
The audience in the live broadcast room could only discuss based on their own guesses for a while -
【shadow?】
Because the mission of this world is related to shadows, this was the first idea that someone thought of, but it was quickly rejected by other voices.
[Isn’t the shadow the player’s? How is it related to God?]
[Yeah, it could be cloudy. After all, it was cloudy when that god descended.]
[Very vivid image of God]
[It may not be a god. A monster can summon a god, so it may be the same monster.]
[But that fake Hammers isn’t stupid. If it’s a fake god, he wouldn’t be able to tell it.]
[Maybe it's cooperation, the monsters respect each other]
[So Qiao Yuan knows, it seems like she knows exactly what the Saint is thinking, and she even guessed that what the Saint wants to say is about Hamos]
[Really, at that moment, even though I’m not a saint, I also felt a fear that my thoughts were guessed.]
[But she also looked confused, as if she didn’t know what she said]
Qiao Yuan did not forget to manage his facial expression, so he quickly suppressed the trembling in his eyes and showed a look of doubt like everyone else, following the crowd without a trace of hesitation.
Song Yanchi asked directly: "What did you say?"
Looking at everyone's reactions, Yu Guo seemed relieved: "I thought I was the only one who suddenly couldn't hear. Fortunately, I didn't suddenly become deaf."
The other male player subconsciously wanted to nod, obviously Yu Guo’s words expressed his thoughts.
Sheng Guiye's expression remained calm as always, making it impossible to tell whether he was surprised by this.
The saint took in everyone's expressions, but had no intention of explaining further.
Qiao Yuan: "Why don't I use that opportunity to exchange for the real method."
system:【?】
Qiao Yuan's voice sounded somewhat distressed: "I think the god this saint is talking about seems to be my shadow"
System: [Looking at her lip shape, is she saying Qiao Ying or Qiao Yin? It is very likely a title for a god. Some gods also have names.]
Even the system cannot distinguish the silent nasal sounds, but it does not prevent it from accurately capturing the saint's mouth shape.
Qiao Yuan interrupted the system's self-deception: "Qiao Ying."
“I’m familiar with this naming style.”
After all, it is her most commonly used naming method, which carries a strong personal color.
system:【……】
No, that's why Qiao Yuan sounded so proud when he said this.
But the system soon realized that this was not the point.
As Qiao Yuan finished speaking, the system seemed to fall into a brief silence.
Qiao Yuan knew that the system was a little bit unacceptable. After all, in the last second she was still discussing with the system whether to be teleported to the shadow, and in the next second she was told that the distance between her and the shadow was only a door.
Qiao Yuan was okay with this. Even if she knew the shadow was behind the door, she would not rush in rashly.
The system still had a glimmer of hope and quickly discovered the blind spot: [Wait, how did the Saint know that it was your shadow?]
Qiao Yuan: "Because my shadow told her. They must have reached a cooperation in private, and then my shadow told her about me."
"The Saint must have hidden a lot of things, such as why Anthony said she was hallucinating. Fake Hammers and Anthony did not pursue the matter any further."
In fact, she had guessed a lot from the saint's words, and connected everything together to outline a general situation.
System: [Then it must have made a mistake. The Saint revealed its identity, which is equivalent to betraying you.]
Although the other party is Qiao Yuan's shadow, the system generally equates it with Qiao Yuan, so the program can't help but feel a shock that Qiao Yuan has been betrayed.
Is it because it is just a shadow after all, so I still can't see through people's hearts?
After hearing what the system said, Qiao Yuan sighed in his heart, thinking that the system had not gone through enough routines: "I mean, it is very likely that it allowed the Saint to say this. First, it has reached a point where , and second, it may have reached a delicate balance with that Hamos, but the fake Hamos is not satisfied with this, so it needs my help."
She recalled the expression on the face of the monster disguised as Hamos, but just as the saint said, apart from feeling the appetite revealed by the monster when the other party's gaze fell on her, the fake Hamos's other behaviors were normal. Even the brief surprise on his face when he heard her mention the shadow was just right.
If the entertainment industry in this world had not collapsed and if it had overcome its cannibalism problem, the other party's acting skills would definitely be enough to compete in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, Qiao Yuan was unable to tell for a moment whether the other party knew the relationship between her and Shadow, who claimed to be God. However, judging from the description of the saint, this fake Hamos had great ambitions. Even though he might be cooperating with Shadow, he still had other ideas.
And Shadow probably also noticed this, and needed to use her to get rid of the fake Hamos first.
Although the most ideal situation for Qiao Yuan at the moment is to cooperate with the fake Hamos, solve the problem of Shadow and then run away, but Shadow obviously thought of this as well. Qiao Yuan feels that it is no coincidence that the fake Hamos targeted him first.
Qiao Yuan was originally still struggling with whether the method Hammers told her was true, but now she no longer has to worry about it. After knowing that the shadow was so close to her, she directly exchanged that wish with the system for the real method.
The system's voice quickly sounded without any fluctuations: [There are two ways. Hammers is indeed not lying. One is to kill Shadow.]
Qiao Yuan said without hesitation: "I choose the second one."
System: [The second is to influence the shadow. ]
Qiao Yuan was silent for a few seconds, and then he said decisively, "Then let's go for one."
"Can a man kill a god?"
The system avoided talking about Qiao Yuan's question and instead took the initiative to talk about another topic: [It still has your last name, does it still have feelings for you?]
Qiao Yuan didn't expect that the other person with a body temperature of zero degrees could say such heartwarming words. He was just about to use a magnifying glass to find evidence that she and Yingzi had feelings for each other.
Although she knew in her heart that the other party had indirectly answered her question just now.
Qiao Yuan: "Is there a possibility? I have already said that this is its unique naming style."
Noticing that the system seemed to be about to fall silent again, she casually comforted it, "But don't worry, I didn't say it must have become a god. It's just a possibility. Maybe it's pretending to be a god to deceive that fake Hammers."
System: […Even God can pretend]
Apparently, he felt that one question mark was not enough to express his feelings, and the system actually typed three question marks.
That fake Hamos is obviously not an ordinary infected person, no wonder the system would raise such questions.
Compared to the system, Qiao Yuan was very calm: "I have seen a god, so isn't it normal to be able to imitate him?"
"And this shadow state is the easiest to deceive... the most convincing. All you have to do is say that you are new to this world and your abilities are limited..."
She sighed regretfully. If it weren't for the fact that she looked like a human at first glance, and if it weren't for the fact that other infected people in this world were not as easy to deceive as the first one she met, she would have definitely assumed this identity long ago.
System: [So it is installed with...]
Not sure if it was because of the current fluctuation, but Qiao Yuan felt that the system's voice was trembling.
However, Qiao Yuan has no time to take care of the system's mental health for the time being.
The communication between her and the system just now was all taking place in her mind. When she came to her senses, only a few minutes had passed. The situation in the room had progressed to the point where the male player who was standing at the door and wanted to leave was held down by Yu Guo's shoulder with one hand, and he was asked with a smile where he was going. Sheng Guiye was looking at Qiao Yuan, and it was unknown what he was thinking. However, the moment Qiao Yuan looked over, he quickly looked away.
Song Yanchi was asking the Saint with confusion and impatience, who exactly was the other party talking about? "What can't be said?"
Seeing that Song Yanchi's thirst for knowledge was too strong and was about to burn the Saint, Qiao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and tried to separate the two: "God's affairs are not important. I can understand her difficulties."
Saint: “…”
She looked coldly at Qiao Yuan as he pulled Song Yanchi away as if he was thinking about her, and then turned around to discuss the next course of action.
Because of the busy real world, Brother Dong didn’t know how long it had been since he last opened the live broadcast or forum.
He first looked at the forum, and was surprised to find that the forum had been restored, but many of the posts were discussing the same instance. Because everyone seemed to be busy discussing and no summary posts had been published, Dong could only randomly browse a few of them and roughly understood that it was a doomsday instance, and that an important NPC that was regarded as hope by many instance players and viewers was revealed to have been replaced by a monster.
According to another NPC's description, this monster was not an ordinary ghost, which was called an infected person in the dungeon. In addition, the other party had the prerequisite of being summoned, which naturally caused a lot of discussion:
