Chapter 190 The Secret of the Red Moon World!
"Pah!" No. 43 spat out the blood in his mouth, turned over with great effort, and lay on the ground in a spread-eagle position, gasping for breath.
After a while, he looked at Xu Mu again and sneered.
"So you figured it out. It's really not easy for you to detect our traces."
This is not an exaggeration.
Because, if it were an indigenous player who had lived in the Red Moon World since childhood.
It is difficult for them to imagine the existence of beings from the upper realm.
Just like the aliens or higher-dimensional creatures that people talked about in Xu Mu’s previous life.
It is mysterious and unpredictable. It may exist or it may not.
Therefore, even if cheats appeared in the Red Moon copy.
I will only think of it as some kind of latest means, but I will not make excessive associations with it.
He would not be like Xu Mu, who identified No. 43 with certainty and clarity as a person from the upper realm.
But Xu Mu is different.
He had personally experienced time travel.
From one world to another world that is similar in appearance but completely different in core.
This in itself is an incredible thing.
Therefore, Xu Mu believes that the higher-dimensional beings exist much more firmly than other indigenous players.
"I'm surprised you admitted it so generously." Xu Mu looked down at the dying No. 43 and said expressionlessly.
“Haha, now that you’ve been seen through, there’s no point pretending. Things have come to this point, and you will all be purified in the due time anyway. The cycle has continued for thousands of years, and it’s the same in any period.” No. 43 left a meaningful remark.
Xu Mu frowned slightly, but did not ask what purification meant.
If this guy wanted to say something, he would have said it long ago. Why bother to be mysterious here? He may not answer if you ask him further.
So, Xu Mu changed the question.
"Obviously, the dungeon can no longer hold players back. Breaking out is only a matter of time. So, will the purification operation you mentioned come sooner than this? Or later?"
No. 43 pressed his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood, then he smiled at Xu Mu .
His teeth were stained with blood on his grinning lips.
"I don't have to answer your question. But considering that you are going to die anyway, and you defeated me single-handedly, I respect you as an opponent. Before you are purified, I will be a good person and tell you. What's wrong with that?" No. 43 said with a rather arrogant tone, even though he was in a very bad condition at the moment.
After a pause, No. 43 continued.
"But before you answer this question, can you answer me a question first? Because perhaps, after you are purified, there will never be another player like you who can create a strategy better than the perfect strategy. I want to know, how did you do all this?"
"Of course, this is purely out of my personal curiosity. It doesn't matter if you don't answer."
Xu Mu temporarily removed the flames surrounding his legs , folded his arms and looked down at No. 43.
"Strategies only make people rigid and are the epitome of rigidity."
"The 'understanding' that is optimized from the strategy is more important than anything else."
“Comprehension…?” No. 43 chewed on this several times and laughed out loud: “Hahahaha, interesting! This is the first time I’ve understood this concept.”
"Sure enough, those who can be proud of being on top of the world have their own unique way of survival." No. 43 smiled and shook his head, as if he had kept his promise, and replied: "The purification will take a little longer, maybe three days in your worldview, maybe five days, maybe a month. Of course, these are not important at all. Give up struggling, you can't really beat us. What does it matter if you have a strong understanding?"
"In the words of your world, ants cannot kill humans. I am just a projection of your lower world. Even if my body is destroyed, I can still reincarnate, and so can my companions, again and again. Either watch you being purified, or kill you "unbalanced" with my own hands. This is your final outcome, and it will never change."
Hearing this, Xu Mu's eyes flickered slightly.
"If I can't kill you in the lower world, then..."
Xu Mu pierced No. 43's heart with a sword, with a smile on his face.
"Then I will go to your world and take a look myself."
"you……?!"
No. 43’s eyes widened and he wanted to say something else.
But soon, a mouthful of blood welled up in his throat.
The sharp blade pierced Kanlian's heart accurately.
No. 43's consciousness was thus disconnected from this body.
————
Three days later.
Real world.
“Swoosh—bang!!!”
A powerful airflow swept through the air, from far to near, and exploded with a sound that resounded through the sky.
Someone on the ground looked up, and could only see a blood-red spot of light that created fire due to friction with the air, with a trail as bright as flames, passing through the sky at a high speed like a meteor.
The speed was so fast that in just a blink of an eye, it disappeared within the distance visible to the naked eye, leaving only a trail of white smoke in the air.
"Pah."
After just a few seconds, Xu Mu had lost all his strength.
He landed with his light legs firmly planted on the ground.
In front of him stood an old off-white building.
There are a few big words written at the entrance.
【Dolphin City Qingshan Sanatorium】
Less than an hour had passed since the end of the "Dungeon" copy.
During these three days, Xu Mu's strategy and playing style quickly gained popularity, and players everywhere rushed to imitate and learn from him.
During this period, Xu Mu also personally led several teams of top players who were considered T0, including some quasi-god-level figures from all over the world.
Since there was no racing, Xu Mu patiently taught the strategy step by step to ensure that they fully understood the mechanism of the Antun dungeon.
Of course, this comes at a price.
The price these players need to pay is that no matter how detailed Xu Mu’s teaching is, they must also be equally detailed when teaching other players.
Because Xu Mu had completely defeated the nominal Kanlian in the Antun race, he defeated the former top decision-maker in the Western Federation circle.
Therefore, Xu Mu has undoubtedly become the number one player closest to God in the hearts of players around the world.
Those quasi-god players followed his words almost as if they were imperial decrees.
Under this horrific progression of chain splitting.
It took less than three days for all players to complete Antun with SSS ratings.
Because, in the Antun copy, there is already a clearance evaluation score.
The rules for canceling the global copy only stipulate that all players around the world must reach the SSS score.
Therefore, all you need to do is clear Antun once and max out the SSS to break the seal of this damn copy.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
There are also players who have adapted to the continent of Arad in just half a month and are hiding and unwilling to come out.
But when the vast majority of players are eager to return home, those players who want to drag all of humanity into this for their own selfish desires will naturally not be let off.
Some players spontaneously formed a search team, determined to find those players who were hiding and unwilling to return to reality.
It would be easier if we met a polite search team.
You're welcome, I'll use any means necessary.
Of course, these are no longer Xu Mu’s business. After all, human nature is complicated. He only looks at the final result and does not comment on the process.
After the global lockdown was lifted, countless players returned to reality and rushed home as soon as possible to reunite with their elderly parents, relatives and friends whom they had not seen for a long time.
And Xu Mu was alone in this world, so he thought about it.
Or fly directly to Dolphin City.
I went back to the city government to visit Liu Hailang first.
Ever since Dolphin City was used as a test point for distributing strategy guides, Xu Mu's quasi-god-level fame and his visit to Dolphin City instantly brought a lot of popularity and traffic.
Since then, Dolphin City has continued to develop steadily and positively.
After seeing Xu Mu returning, Liu Hailang hurriedly trotted forward.
He patted Xu Mu's shoulder vigorously, and was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly.
While he was speechless and choked with emotion, he quietly wiped away a tear.
Xu Mu knew.
This large-scale dungeon of The Whole Territory Blockade has really worried ordinary people who don't have the ability to enter the dungeon world.
After reminiscing about the past for a while, Xu Mu stood up and said goodbye again.
He has more important things to do.
If what No. 43 said is true.
The current peaceful Red Moon world will most likely be purified within a month, including itself.
Xu Mu is not some noble person who is determined to save the world.
But if the matter involves me, it might not be a bad idea to help save other innocent people and players.
Stepping into Qingshan Sanatorium, Xu Mu, under the guidance of the nurse, came to the ward where the girl who had saved his life lived.
"She's still the same. Half a year has passed, and she hasn't changed at all..." The nurse pushed open the door.
Xu Mu immediately saw the girl sitting beside the bed, wearing a hospital gown, with a lifeless profile, staring blankly at the sky with her head slightly raised.
"Thank you for all this time ." Xu Mu smiled and nodded to the nurse: "Let me talk to her."
“She may not understand…”
"It doesn't matter."
Seeing Xu Mu's insistence, the nurse had no choice but to smile at him apologetically, and closed the door when she left.
After confirming that there is no one outside the door.
Xu Mu then walked up to the girl and sat down next to her.
He glanced over and looked at the nameplate hanging on her left chest, which had the girl's name written on it.
Zhang Lixi.
"Won't your eyes shed tears if you keep staring at the sky like this? You were like this the last time I came here." Xu Mu spoke slowly.
Zhang Lixi didn't say anything or even react.
It seemed as if he couldn't sense Xu Mu's arrival.
Xu Mu didn't care either. Instead, he looked up at the sky with her eyes parallel to his own, and talked to himself.
"Perhaps you have heard it many times before, but I still have to say it again. Thank you for risking your life to save me."
“…”
Still silent.
"I understand that you were also a player before. When the Red Moon Dungeon first came to this world, you obtained the qualification to enter the dungeon. With excellent results, you became an A-level player in less than a month."
"A-level, in a month... you will be ranked among the best in the world."
“…”
Xu Mu's response was still silence.
"Now that five years have passed, the number of quasi-god-level players around the world has almost broken through three digits. Just last month, we experienced a dungeon that covered players from all over the world."
"All players need to get an SSS rating before they can exit the dungeon."
"Does this rule sound disturbing?" Xu Mu said with a smile.
“…”
Silence. In the entire room, there was no other voice except Xu Mu's.
"Fortunately, I overcame all difficulties and found a way out."
"However, before I came out, I met a very special person. He seemed... not to belong to our world."
Just as Xu Mu finished speaking.
Zhang Lixi's unblinking eyes suddenly trembled.
Although Xu Mu did not observe Zhang Lixi directly, his Blue Sky Eye was always open.
It can capture everything he wants to see in 360 degrees without any blind spots.
Sure enough, it works! Xu Mu thought to himself.
The reason why I think of Zhang Lixi.
It was because Xu Mu was inspired by the encounter with Kanlian, who seemed to be in a vegetative state, in the hotel in Arad.
At that time, Kanlian was just like Zhang Lixi, like a walking corpse.
The body has no consciousness, but the vital signs are abnormally stable.
However, Zhang Lixi's performance is even more advanced than Kanlian's.
She seemed to be able to wash, eat, and sleep normally.
In order to further prove his guess, Xu Mucai went to Qingshan Sanatorium.
Just as he expected.
Zhang Lixi also seems to be hiding some secrets.
This may be the key to breaking the deadlock and purifying.
After testing and finding out that there was something wrong with Zhang Lixi, Xu Mu no longer hid it.
Instead, he stated the point directly.
"I guess you have some kind of connection with the upper world. If possible, stop pretending. You should know what fate all humans in this world will suffer next, right?"
Zhang Lixi's nostrils flared slightly and her pupils continued to tremble.
But still no words were spoken.
Xu Mu seemed to read a hint of fear in her eyes.
It was as if some fear was restricting her, making her unable, or afraid, to break this disguise.
After a pause, Xu Mu tried to soften his voice as much as possible and spoke softly.
"Whatever you know, you should tell me."
"At least, as the current world's top player, I think I might be able to deal with the things that make you feel uneasy. I will do my best to keep you safe."
Hearing this, Zhang Lixi finally showed some reaction.
She slowly turned her head and looked at Xu Mu deeply.
Perhaps in response to his own words, Xu Mu released all of his strength without reservation, without suppressing the slightest bit.
Soon, the curtains beside the bed began to sway and dance wildly due to the powerful aura.
Everything placed on the table in the room fell to the ground due to the overly strong energy fluctuations released by Xu Mu.
His long hair fluttered in the wind, and a thin line of dark golden color kept moving in his originally dark brown pupils.
"If you think this is not enough and you want to see a stronger me, this place may be razed to the ground." Xu Mu said bluntly.
This is just his current state where he has not yet unlocked any potential.
If the divinity is activated, the airflow alone can overturn every tile in the sanatorium and crush them into powder.
"Forget it." Zhang Lixi stretched out her slender and white arm and gently placed it on Xu Mu's palm, indicating that Xu Mu did not need to show his strength anymore.
Then, she slowly shook her head.
A tired smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You're the 48,791,678th person to say that to me."
"Before you, they were all the strongest players in the Red Moon world."
"You will be no exception. Give up your meaningless resistance."
