Chapter 136 The Day of Doomsday (Thirty-Nine)
The players in the underground base were captured, and the players on the ground were not having an easy time either.
Of course Qiao Ying would not forget them, so she specifically mentioned this matter to the Saint. Compared to the players in the underground base who barely knew what was happening, some players on the ground had just been informed by Liu Dong and Aqi that Hamos in the base was fake, and they were attacked by the infected and shadows.
However, even if the audience in the live broadcast room watched the entire process in conjunction with the news on the forum, they were no less surprised than the players in the dungeon. Almost all the live broadcast rooms of players participating in this dungeon were filled with question marks. Fortunately, a kind-hearted person pointed me to a post on the forum titled "It seems I accidentally entered the live broadcast room of the dungeon boss", and said that I would understand after reading it.
It has to be said that this post title has attracted a lot of people's attention. After clicking in and reading the main post, everyone's question marks have been straightened into exclamation marks. It has only been an hour since this post was posted, and there are already nearly a thousand replies:
——Hiss, so there are actually no two gods at all, it’s just an illusion created by a player’s shadow?
——Yes, and now we have killed a monster who wanted to become a god, instigated the NPCs to occupy the survivor base and capture the players.
——? ? ? Which player’s shadow was it that even fooled me?
--ah?
——Excuse me, everyone’s reaction is not as strong as the reaction of the monster in the dungeon when he learned the truth
——Don’t talk about you. I swore to others that God cannot pretend, but now my face is swollen.
——Am I the only one who made a wish to God seriously in the live broadcast room?
——The person above is fine. I saw a player burning incense and praying to God every day in his live broadcast room, praying for God's protection
——Is he okay now?
——He was arrested
——? As expected, there is no god
Of course, there are still players who insist that God exists:
——How could a player's shadow deceive so many players and infected people?
——Yes, is the shadow lying?
——No God? Impossible, there are so many posts discussing this recently, and I also saw it in the live broadcast room
…
However, these posts were quickly replied to one by one:
——How could you possibly see it in the live broadcast room? Isn’t it all seen from the player’s perspective?
——So do you believe that God can be killed by a bomb, or do you believe that the one who was killed by the bomb was not God?
——I suddenly understand why the title is called this, so who are the players mentioned in the main post? How many dozens of players are there?
——Is this the dungeon that everyone on the forum is discussing recently? I wasn't interested at first, but after seeing this, I suddenly became interested. I also want to ask which live broadcast room to watch it.
——The main poster mentioned the second-name female star, aren’t the conditions obvious?
——I was so busy reading the content that I didn't notice the beginning. It turned out to be her
——Damn, when everyone sees this condition, does that person come to mind?
——Although I didn't pay much attention to this dungeon, I remember that she was a good person and saved many people in the dungeon. Could it be that the shadow represents the evil side of a person?
——Qiao Yuanbei, her name has not been blocked, I am still in her live broadcast room, and she is still fighting with Shadow
——? She is still alive. I thought she would have been killed if she had encountered such a shadow.
——I’m actually also very confused. In that dungeon world, the shadow can take over the player’s body after killing him.
——Some of the captured players are still alive, and some shadows have no intention of replacing the real owner. They are just afraid of trouble, so they will hand the players over to the infected.
——No, now all the players are locked up together, guarded by shadows and infected people. They are not dead yet. I heard that they will be killed in a few days.
If it were anyone else, hearing what Qiao Yuan said, they would most likely either get angry and embarrassed, or walk away in anger.
But it was obvious that Qiao Ying, as Qiao Yuan's shadow, had inherited the other's stable emotions: "Of course I am interested in your body."
"A human body is much more convenient than a shadow, and can do more things, and you are the only body I can occupy."
Qiao Yuan angrily slapped the mattress: "...What's going on? It involves species discrimination?"
"But it doesn't matter, as long as we can exert our subjective initiative..."
Qiao Ying: "So I'm moving."
Qiao Yuan: "I don't mean for you to touch me."
"What is it that you can't even tell me?"
Qiao Yuan could feel Qiao Ying's gaze on her, as if he was silently complaining that what she said sounded like nonsense.
However, Qiao Ying obviously knew that "villains die because they talk too much", so the topic came to an abrupt end and she just looked at Qiao Yuan and said, "You don't need to know so much, just go to sleep."
As Qiao Ying finished speaking, several streams of gas suddenly gushed in from the cracks in the room and surrounded Qiao Yuan in an instant.
When he realized that it was hypnotic gas, Qiao Yuan subconsciously wanted to hold his breath, and his body reflexively attacked the shadow in front of him.
However, the result was similar to what Qiao Yuan expected. She and Shadow had similar fighting skills, so her punch was easily blocked by the opponent, and her wrist was tightly grasped by Shadow.
The shadow had no body temperature, and the moment the other person's hand grasped it, Qiao Yuan felt as if he was wrapped in jade.
The hypnotic gas was so strong that it would make people unconscious instantly after just a moment of inhalation. When Qiao Yuan wanted to pull back his arm, a darkness came over him.
She forced herself to look at Qiao Ying, and the dark shadow let go of her wrist, leaving her with only an emotionless "good night".
In the following time, Qiao Yuan was in a state of half sleep and half wakefulness.
I don’t know if it’s because of the side effects of the gas, but even when I’m awake, I can’t use any strength in my body. I can only lie in bed most of the time, and the hallucinations in front of me seem to be getting worse.
During the few moments of wakefulness, based on the time on the clock and the three meals a day that were delivered to her, she judged that three days had passed outside.
The only people she could see during these three days were Qiao Ying and the Saint.
With Qiao Ying's help and advice, the Saint announced the deaths of Hamos and Anthony, and blamed the monsters for their deaths. She naturally became the new leader of the base. Although there were many people who were dissatisfied, they were all suppressed by her with the help of the infected and the shadows.
Because she became the new leader of the base, the Saint became very busy, and Qiao Ying, who actually controlled the base, also became busy. But as long as Qiao Yuan was awake, Qiao Ying was there. After all, because Qiao Yuan couldn't move, he still needed to be fed.
However, the task of feeding was soon taken over by the saint.
The Saint's room was requisitioned by Qiao Ying, so she moved to another place, but she would come to check on the situation. However, her attitudes towards Qiao Yuan and Qiao Ying were obviously two completely different things.
One time when she came over, she happened to run into Qiao Ying feeding Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Ying did not treat Qiao Yuan badly in terms of food. He knew Qiao Yuan's preferences very well, so he asked the chefs in the base to cook the dishes that Qiao Yuan liked.
Although his body could not move because of Qiao Ying, Qiao Yuan did not go on a hunger strike. He refused the food Qiao Ying handed over. He ate and drank, ordered dishes and tasted the food. "Can we let this chef learn from a player named Sheng Guiye? Or let him cook."
"Don't feed this yet, save it for last."
"There is no filial daughter for a long-term sick bed."
…
Apart from letting Sheng Guiye come out to cook, Qiao Ying did everything else.
System: [It must have some conspiracy behind its filial piety. Don’t be corrupted by the sugar-coated bullets. You and other players are waiting for you to rescue them.]
It has also been brainwashed by Qiao Yuan these days. It originally wanted to ask why the other party was so nice to Qiao Yuan, but it didn't expect that the adjective that came out of its mouth was also filial piety.
However, it is also very anxious. After all, due to Qiao Ying's tricky operation, the loss rate of players in this copy is likely to be as high as 100%, and this copy is likely to continue to absorb players in the future, and no one knows what will happen at that time.
After hearing what the system said, Qiao Yuan replied in his heart: "It has trapped me in the bed. Isn't this a conspiracy?"
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
When Qiao Ying clearly coveted her body but did not take action directly, she had already guessed that he must be planning something bigger. However, regardless of the danger to her life in a few days, she lived a relatively good life with Qiao Ying. She had everything she wanted, and she knew that there was no one else who could take her life except Qiao Ying, so she did not have to keep watch like before.
While Qiao Yuan was calming the system, he glanced at the saint standing beside him.
Listening to Qiao Yuan's pointing and looking at Qiao Ying who had no reaction, the Saint chose to take action -
She directly took over the task of feeding Qiao Ying, wanting to teach Qiao Yuan a lesson for his deliberate trouble. Taking advantage of Qiao Ying's brief absence, she deliberately fed Qiao Yuan a mouthful of rice, then thought about throwing the rice away in front of Qiao Yuan.
She and Qiao Ying have known each other for so long, he will definitely stand on her side, right?
After swallowing the first bite, Qiao Yuan said slowly, "Do you know what a corporate legal person is?"
Of course, the Saint had no way of knowing. After all, Hammos had not allowed her and the Son of God to receive this knowledge before. Not to mention that it was the end of the world now and they had neither the time nor the opportunity.
Her intuition told her that Qiao Yuan might not be able to say anything good, so she subconsciously wanted to listen, but the other party's words rang out immediately: "Some company legal persons only have a title on the surface, but in fact they have to take the blame when something goes wrong."
Saint: “…”
She was not a fool, so she naturally realized that Qiao Yuan was just short of calling out her name.
"So what?" The Saint snorted coldly: "Why didn't she choose someone else as the legal representative?"
"Isn't it because I'm special?"
Qiao Yuan looked at her with pity in his eyes: " According to what you said, I am also special. It is reluctant to let me go to the ground."
"Reluctant?" The Saint was already angry at Qiao Yuan's distortion of right and wrong. Seeing the hypocritical look in his eyes, she curled her lips and sneered, "That's because there is no other way to trap you."
She still remembered that she had suggested to tie up Qiao Yuan with a rope, but Qiao Ying told her that the rope would most likely not be a restraint, but a tool for her to escape. If Qiao Ying had not wanted to use Qiao Yuan's body later, the easiest way would have been to break her legs.
"And if it weren't for the ceremony in a few days, you would have died the moment the monster died." The Saint raised the corner of her lips, leaned close to Qiao Yuan's ear, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "So how do you feel when you hear this?"
She noticed that Qiao Yuan's body seemed to tremble, and a mixture of pride and disgust emerged in her heart. She was proud that Qiao Yuan was affected by her words, but she also hated his cowardice in the face of his own death.
However, as soon as this thought came into the saint's mind, she heard a "puff" sound.
She subconsciously looked up and saw Qiao Yuan was also smiling. When she felt the saint's gaze on her, Qiao Yuan smiled and said, "My ears were a little itchy just now."
Saint: “…”
She thought she was quite tolerant, but she didn't expect that she would still feel so angry at Qiao Yuan.
Just when she was about to get angry, Qiao Ying came back.
The Saint could only hold back her temper and look at Qiao Yuan: "Open your mouth, ah——"
She comforted herself in her heart that Qiao Yuan was going to die soon anyway, if it was Qiao Ying...
This appearance is obviously much more pleasing to the eye.
Compared to Qiao Ying, who would remain silent and obviously not want to reveal any information when he was with her, Qiao Yuan actually liked being with the Saint because she would reveal a lot of information if provoked a little. He hated her, but had to interact with her because of Qiao Ying.
Although Qiao Ying had reminded her, the Saint found it difficult to be patient when facing Qiao Yuan's deliberate provocation. Qiao Ying seemed to have noticed this, but because she was busy with the ritual mentioned by the Saint, it was impossible for her to be with Qiao Yuan 24 hours a day, so she quickly added another guest.
This time it chooses to add a shadow.
When Qiao Yuan first looked at the shadow, she didn't realize who it was. After all, apart from Qiao Ying, who she recognized because of her personality and voice, the other shadows were only male or female in her eyes.
It wasn't until she noticed that this shadow was taller than Qiao Ying and was habitually moving closer to Qiao Ying that she couldn't help but pause: "...Song Yanchi?"
From a bystander's perspective, she realized that Song Yanchi really looked like a puppy when he stuck to her.
The shadow didn't turn around when he heard the voice, but the Saint explained, "This is the shadow of that guy."
Judging from the expression she gave when she looked at Song Yanchi's shadow, the relationship between the man and the shadow must not be good.
Qiao Yuan thought of the previous quarrel between Master Song Yanchi and the Saint Girl, and wondered who was affected first.
Thinking of Song Yanchi himself, Qiao Yuan was not too worried. After all, when she first entered the room, the discussion between the Saint and Qiao Ying involved the players. Whether the other party was trying to keep those shadows hanging or had their own plans, it was impossible for them to let the players die right now.
Based on various speculations, Qiao Yuan feels that she is the most dangerous person now, and only after her death will the other players be in danger.
And Qiao Yuan quickly understood Qiao Ying's good intention of arranging the Saint Girl and Song Yanchi's shadow together.
Because Song Yanchi's shadow is loyal and clingy, it is also one of the few shadows that knows Qiao Ying's true identity.
The relationship between the Saint and Song Yanchi's shadow was indeed not good. From the Saint's perspective, she was the one who met Qiao Ying first and became friends with her. They also experienced a lot of things together in the past half month.
However, as the shadow of Song Yanchi who retained Song Yanchi's memories, his emotions were also affected by his original body. He had a natural closeness to Qiao Ying and felt that he and Qiao Ying had spent more time together.
After all, in the previous copies, Song Yanchi had always followed Qiao Yuan, and the shadows of the two of them would lean on each other from time to time. However, things like copies could not be explained to the Saint, so in each other's eyes, the other party was airborne, so it was naturally difficult to show a good face.
As his right arm, Qiao Ying also gave Song Yanchi's shadow a voice changer, which facilitated the quarrel between Song Yanchi's shadow and the saint. If Qiao Yuan wanted to get information, he had to spend half of his time mediating the conflict.
Qiao Yuan never thought that she would have to mediate family conflicts for her shadow, but fortunately, Song Yanchi's shadow's initial favorability towards her was not low, so she still got some of the information she wanted.
