Chapter 137 The Day of Doomsday (Forty)
Qiao Yuan was still complaining to the system , suspecting that the other party wanted her to use her last remaining energy. However, after piecing together the information she had collected and thinking from her perspective, she also understood why her shadow had spared her life until now.
In the previous search for a way to deal with the fake Hammers, Qiao Ying discovered something even more interesting -
Become a god, and then end the end of the world.
Qiao Yuan could understand Qiao Ying. After all, according to the system, it was bound to her soul, not her body. Even if the other party occupied her body, he could not leave this world.
When Qiao Yuan heard the system's words, he was moved: "If this wasn't a game where people would die, I would definitely be happy that you chose my soul instead of my body."
But it is also for this reason that Shadow naturally has to find a way to solve the apocalypse and try to restore the world to its previous level. After all, unless it is absolutely necessary, Qiao Yuan is actually a person who likes a stable life, and Shadow must be the same.
If the price wasn't hers, she would be willing to stay and rebuild the world with her shadow, and develop entertainment accordingly.
The ceremony mentioned by the saint should be referring to Qiao Ying's deification ceremony.
After hearing Qiao Yuan's speculation, the system felt that its code was in chaos.
After all, it had already prepared for the worst. If Qiao Ying took over Qiao Yuan's body, he would only have a human lifespan at most. Even if the player loss rate was high, it would only be a few decades. But now, if the other party became a god...
The system only thought of one adjective——
The harm lasts for thousands of years.
Since following Qiao Yuan, its vocabulary has become richer.
It reported the situation to the higher-ups and tried to remedy the situation, but Qiao Ying was just like what Qiao Yuan said, refusing any form of standing at the center of the world and calling for love. Qiao Yuan, on the other hand, tried his best to hide his anxiety after the conversation with Qiao Ying, and his expression changed from only accepting and not accepting anything.
Until that day comes.
Qiao Ying didn't say the exact date, but Qiao Yuan could guess a thing or two from it. Especially when he woke up and found himself not in a familiar room, but in the arms of someone who was as warm and cool as jade, he looked up and found himself in Ying's arms.
It’s Qiao Ying.
Although she had been lying in bed without moving much in the past few days, the fact that she was about to die had a significant impact on her, causing her to have almost no appetite afterwards, so she was able to be easily picked up by Qiao Ying.
Qiao Yuan looked around and found that there were only her and Qiao Ying in the corridor. There was no sign of the Saint or any other people or shadows.
Just when Qiao Yuan wanted to ask, she found that Qiao Ying had already taken her out of the base.
Although he did not come out of a dark environment, perhaps because he had been in an environment with artificial lights for a long time, after walking out of the base and facing the sunlight, Qiao Yuan still felt a bit blinded.
Unfortunately, the sky outside is bright, but her life path is dark.
At this time, several off-road vehicles were parked at the entrance of the villa. This was the first time Qiao Yuan saw a car in the base. However, this time, there was something like a cage behind the off-road vehicle, and many players were locked up inside, some of whom Qiao Yuan had seen before and some of whom he had not seen before.
Among them, Qiao Yuan saw players such as Song Yanchi, Sun Ji, Liu Dong and Jia Xue.
There were a few more wounds on Song Yanchi's face. He sat aside with his arms folded. His gloomy eyes swept over the shadow standing beside the cage like a wild beast, as if he was taking a rest.
Qiao Yuan had heard Song Yanchi's shadow mention it before. Song Yanchi and his shadow didn't have a good relationship, so when capturing Song Yanchi, his shadow didn't hold back at all.
Sun Ji, who had been full of energy and seemed to have everything under control, looked much older in the past few days, with a beard all over his face. He was still trying to communicate with the shadow outside the cage, but the shadow just waved his hand impatiently. Although Liu Dong held the crying Jia Xue in his arms, his expression of despair and fear showed that his condition was not much better than Jia Xue's.
Not every player knows what they are facing, but that doesn't stop them from being infected by the desperate atmosphere in the cage.
Some players were shaking the iron cage like crazy, trying to persuade other players to join in, but were forced to behave themselves after being impatiently shocked a few times by the shadows with electric batons.
Some players were being dragged onto another empty car by the shadows and the infected. However, these days many players were either covered in bruises from resisting too much or were exhausted, and their strength to resist was obviously much less than before, so they were easily dragged onto the car.
Qiao Yuan immediately caught a glimpse of Sheng Guiye who was being taken on board. Not only because his appearance and temperament were particularly conspicuous among the players who were about to be taken on board, the most important thing was that other players were surrounded by only one shadow, but Sheng Guiye had two.
Even if you can't see their faces clearly, you can feel the incompatibility between the two shadows just by looking at the atmosphere. Sheng Guiye standing between them is like a clear dividing line. In addition, Sheng Guiye is still wearing a suit, and his face is still calm and composed, as if he is attending a press conference.
She guessed that this might be related to Sheng Guiye's dual personality, but unfortunately she was in no mood to ask the system which one to stab if the situation changed.
Because of these two shadows, Sheng Guiye's presence was particularly noticeable. If it had been before, he would have definitely attracted a large number of players, but now, except for a few people who looked over, most people were not in the mood and their attention was always on the shadows around the car.
When Qiao Ying walked over holding Qiao Yuan, one of the shadows that was originally holding Sheng Guiye obviously wanted to stick to him, but was directly grabbed by the other shadow.
Qiao Yuan couldn't tell the difference between shadows before, but now he realizes that Sheng Guiye and Sheng Yegui's shadows are exceptions.
Many shadows seemed to have turned their heads to look in this direction, watching Qiao Ying and Qiao Yuan get into a car alone. However, perhaps because they had been informed in advance, the shadows all turned their heads to take a look and then looked away.
Qiao Yuan did not shout out that Qiao Ying was the real owner of the base. After all, she knew that even if she said it, these people would not believe it. She just kept trying to move her fingertips to see if she could resume movement, but it did not work except for a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Qiao Ying looked down, but it also knew that it was a matter of survival and the other party would not give up until the moment of death, so it followed Qiao Yuan's will.
Qiao Yuan was led by Qiao Ying to sit in the SUV in the front, and the driver was a shadow that had taken over the player's body. The shadow looked as taciturn as the other party's appearance, and had no intention of talking to Qiao Yuan, but just drove the car.
Qiao Yuan was still trying to distract Qiao Ying, asking him how he could distinguish between such similar shadows, but Qiao Ying answered very little.
The road in the base was flat, and the off-road vehicle did not bump at all when it drove past. From Qiao Yuan's angle, he could just see the scenery passing by on both sides of the window. It looked like the road to the holy land.
In fact, it was true, the car finally stopped at the gate of the holy place.
However, Qiao Yuan was still unable to move below the neck and could only allow himself to be carried out by Qiao Ying.
The driver next to him seemed to want to get out of the car to help, but was rejected by Qiao Ying.
Qiao Yuan, the person involved, said, "Why don't you let him hold you while you take a rest?"
Qiao Ying: "You can only be held by me."
However, Qiao Yuan knew that this had nothing to do with possessiveness, but that the other party simply didn't want any changes. If it were her, she would also choose to stay with Shadow in person.
The more she understood, the more she realized that this was truly a critical moment.
After Qiao Ying finished speaking, she continued walking forward holding Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan raised his eyes to look at the shadow holding him, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "So I'm going to die?"
When facing her own death, Qiao Yuan, who already cherished her own life, naturally felt timid. Just asking this question seemed to have consumed all her strength.
The shadow didn't speak, but silence was the best answer.
There was no saint or other shadow following it, but Qiao Yuan was no longer in the mood to find out why.
If it were before, Qiao Yuan would still be interested in sharing with the system what it felt like to be held by her own shadow, but now she was obviously not in the mood. When she spoke to the system, her voice was filled with pleading: "System, can't you give me a life on credit?"
The system's usually inorganic voice also sounded a bit laggy: [No]
【Didn’t you have a solution before? 】
Qiao Yuan: “That was before.”
Upon hearing Qiao Yuan's words, the system's program sank.
Even though it had witnessed Qiao Yuan's powerless struggle before, it still held on to the idea that the other party must have a way.
However, after hearing what Qiao Yuan said, it finally realized that Qiao Yuan's fate was already determined. It was used to seeing other players die, but it found that it still couldn't face Qiao Yuan's death the same other players. It had a premonition that it would have to think about Qiao Yuan for a long time. After all, it didn't know who the black rose that had been bothering it was.
No player has ever died, leaving it with suspense.
The voice in Qiao Yuan's heart continued: "System, I don't want to die..."
As a system that had watched Qiao Yuan walk all the way, it certainly knew Qiao Yuan's desire for life. If it wasn't for the last resort, he would rarely mention death so seriously.
The system didn't know what to say for a moment: [If you have any last wishes, I can try to apply to the above, such as converting your property into ghost money. ]
This is the top last wish among players, with the first and second being to borrow another 500 years from heaven and to see family members. Since Qiao Yuan has no relatives in the real world, it automatically skipped the first two. Although it knows that people don't need to spend money after death, this may be a human wish.
Qiao Yuan was not touched by the system's sudden thoughtfulness: "How come there is an exchange rate after death..."
system:【……】
Thinking that this was Qiao Yuan’s last time speaking, the system endured it.
