Chapter 258: Finale (I)
Gu Yan: "Eye of Narcissus..."
After repeating the other party's name, Gu Yan seemed to have thought of something, and his sharp eyes fell on Su Zeyuan, and he said word by word: "Narcissus, the God of Order."
His words were not questions but affirmative sentences, and he was obviously very sure of his answer.
Because he had been through many dungeons, Gu Yan had seen the other party's name in one dungeon. However, because it had nothing to do with the mission, Gu Yan did not pay too much attention to it, but his strong memory also allowed him to remember the meaning of this name.
But even after knowing Narciss's identity, Gu Yan's expression did not relax much.
After all, before this, his first reaction to Narciss' sudden appearance here was that he was a humanoid system coming from headquarters to negotiate. But when he heard that the other party was a god, a guess also formed in his mind -
Yougui said before that the nightmare game was created by God, and the God he was referring to might be Narses.
The creator god of the game stood before them.
However, the Su Zeyuan in front of him did not look like Narcissus, after all, he claimed to be the Eye of Narcissus. But even so, Gu Yan could still feel the inexplicable chill from him, as if every cell in his body was screaming danger.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
After hearing Gu Yan's words, Qiao Yuan realized that Gu Yan knew something about Narciss, which saved her the trouble of explaining.
Her thoughts at this moment were similar to Gu Yan's.
What made Qiao Yuan couldn't help but ponder was, if Narcissus was really the founder of this game, why did he appear as an important NPC in the copy at that time?
Moreover, one of the opponent's eyes was still in her body, so could she also have an impact on the game...
However, Qiao Yuan did not show it in front of Su Zeyuan.
After all, she still remembered that at the end of the copy, Su Zeyuan wanted to kill them, and she had escaped temporarily by trickery. Therefore, although the other party did not intend to mention it now, thinking of Su Zeyuan's murderous intention at that time, Qiao Yuan still acted quite cautiously, so as not to evoke the other party's memories.
Her original plan of transitioning from greetings to persuasion before entering the headquarters naturally did not come in handy.
Gu Yan here has already eagerly asked the doubt that has been hidden in her heart for a long time: "How did my twin brother Lu Zhi die?"
“Why did I see…”
Qiao Yuan also pricked up his ears, wanting to listen to what the game was saying about the dirty water that was thrown on him.
Su Zeyuan looked at Gu Yan. Just when Gu Yan thought that He would not answer and was about to urge Him again, Su Zeyuan said, "It is a test for you."
Gu Yan & Qiao Yuan: ???
Qiao Yuan actually wanted to speak up and ask why it was Gu Yan's test, but it was related to her.
Su Zeyuan: "You have potential, and the game determined that you need to be stimulated."
In just two sentences, Qiao Yuan and Gu Yan understood what Su Zeyuan meant.
According to the other party, Gu Yan was a potential person, and Qiao Yuan was the whetstone chosen at that time.
Gu Yan: "So Lu Zhi really died of natural causes..."
Su Zeyuan didn't say anything, but it was already the best answer.
Gu Yan heard the sound of his heartstrings breaking. The things he had always insisted on in the past were once again overturned, and the anger of being fooled occupied his mind.
At this moment, Gu Yan even ignored the chill in his heart and rushed forward.
He was so fast that Qiao Yuan couldn't see the other person's figure clearly for a moment. He only saw a figure appear in front of Su Zeyuan.
But the other party did not dodge or evade.
Gu Yan's fist stopped in the air.
It was like an invisible wall of air blocked his movements. Although the opponent was not far away from him, he could no longer move forward at all.
Su Zeyuan just blinked, and Gu Yan only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and the next second he was back to Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan also heard what Su Zeyuan said and realized that the game was indeed the driving force behind it.
But compared to the anger of being smeared, her focus soon fell on another thing: "Is there potential ?"
Su Zeyuan: "This is related to the game."
After hearing Su Zeyuan's words, Qiao Yuan and Gu Yan also came out of their thoughts.
Su Zeyuan spoke immediately.
According to him, just as Qiao Yuan and Gu Yan thought, the game was created by Narcissus.
He created this game in the beginning because he was not satisfied with the world, so he created excellent humans and ghosts to create a world that satisfied him. However, Narses was awake for a short time and fell asleep most of the time. In addition, he had conflicts with other gods, which led to accidents and the two eyes that carried power were scattered to other places.
One of the eyes turned into Su Zeyuan.
The other party was not clear about his identity at first, and a part of him that belonged to Narcissus was also asleep, but his influence was unconsciously dragging the world he was in into the dream. According to this development, in the near future, other worlds would also be assimilated into dreams by him, falling into endless repetition until everything was destroyed.
It was not until he met Qiao Yuan in the dungeon that the part of him that belonged to Narcissus finally awakened and returned to the game headquarters. Fortunately, because of the things he left behind and his disappearance during this period was quite short for the game, the game still ran automatically.
Qiao Yuan was startled when she heard her name suddenly. However, Su Zeyuan did not mention that the other Eye of Narcis was in her possession, and even in the previous copy, he had no intention of taking it away, as if he did not care at all.
Gu Yan, who was standing by, also learned from Su Zeyuan's words that Qiao Yuan and Su Zeyuan had met before in the copy, but his attention was now entirely on what Su Zeyuan said.
If the part of Su Zeyuan that belongs to Narcissus does not wake up, the world they live in will be destroyed.
However, now that the other party has woken up, judging from the changes in the game and the world, it doesn't seem like a good thing. It seems that He has not given up the idea of selecting humans and ghosts to create a satisfactory world.
Qiao Yuan thought so too.
At this moment, she finally understood why Su Zeyuan was so concerned about people with potential.
She suspected that the world they lived in had become like this because Su Zeyuan was planning to use the Earth as the foundation for the new world. Ghosts from other worlds had come to Earth, and both humans and ghosts had been screened out at the same time, and only those who stayed could continue to survive.
But if we follow this line of thought, the copy they experienced before was the trial field, but where did that trial field come from?
A rather terrifying idea had already occurred to Qiao Yuan's mind -
Some of the copies she had encountered in the past and seen on forums now seemed like failed products of the New World and were being used for screening.
And no one can guarantee that Narciss will be successful this time. Perhaps the earth will be like some of the doomsday copies they have encountered before, because the so-called screening has been riddled with holes, and finally it will become a testing ground for a new group of people.
But what is worth pondering right now is why Su Zeyuan told them the whole matter.
Gu Yan had already asked, and it was obvious that she had the same doubts as Qiao Yuan.
Su Zeyuan: "You have potential, but you don't know your own limits."
After all, Qiao Yuan had the experience of getting along with Su Zeyuan before, so he quickly understood the content of the other party's words.
Su Zeyuan felt that they had a chance to pass the selection, and he also knew that they wanted to end the game, but he felt that it was impossible for them to do it, so he wanted them to concentrate on this so-called selection opportunity.
Good news, the other party values her talent and doesn't seem to be planning to kill her now.
The bad news is that the other party values talent only a limited amount, so not taking action now does not necessarily mean not taking action later.
Gu Yan's expression changed: "You..."
His fists were clenched at his sides, and he stared at Su Zeyuan with gloomy eyes. This was the first time someone said this to him in front of him.
Not to mention that Su Zeyuan's tone didn't contain a trace of human emotion, as if he was just stating a fact.
Qiao Yuan interrupted Gu Yan and tried to negotiate: "What kind of new world do you want? Maybe it can be realized without playing games."
"And you know, the other eye is with me. As long as you finish the game, I can give it back to you. After all, eyes are born in pairs. Don't let Him be alone..."
When Gu Yan heard Qiao Yuan's words, she was stunned. After all, Qiao Yuan had never said that the other Eye of Narcis was in her.
But this also gave Gu Yan hope.
If that's the case, maybe there's still room for negotiation...
Realizing that Qiao Yuan and Gu Yan were still unwilling to give up, Su Zeyuan gently raised his hand.
A glass bead fell in front of Qiao Yuan and Gu Yan.
Qiao Yuan and Gu Yan looked inside and saw the world they lived in.
The next second, the glass bead suddenly began to vibrate violently. Through the glass bead, Qiao Yuan and Gu Yan saw people running in panic all over the world.
Qiao Yuan realized something and looked at Su Zeyuan fiercely, wanting him to stop. Fortunately, the moment she looked up, Su Zeyuan put down his hand and the glass beads stopped shaking.
At this moment, Qiao Yuan had deeply realized that even with the eloquence of a sly man, he was still powerless in the face of absolute strength.
What should I do?
Su Zeyuan's cold voice followed suit: "You are the carrier of the right eye. Even if the right eye is on you, it is of no use."
Just like before, when Qiao Yuan deliberately asked questions in order to get close to others, the other party would always explain.
At this moment, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed through Qiao Yuan's mind.
Qiao Yuan: !!!
They are all eyes, so why is there discrimination based on origin? Why can't the carrier beat the incarnation?
Now that she knew where Su Zeyuan was, it would be great if she could find a way to gain Su Zeyuan's power...
But wait, there's one more person who might know how.
As this thought came to his mind, Qiao Yuan's restless heart suddenly calmed down, and he immediately said, "Aren't you worried that we will tell other players about this?"
She still remembered that the wandering ghost had turned to ashes before.
It's just that her plan needs to be told to others.
Worry?
Su Zeyuan seemed to be listening to an unfamiliar word and said aloud: "You are doing something meaningless."
Qiao Yuan: "So you can tell me?"
Su Zeyuan looked at the expectation on Qiao Yuan's face and knew that he had not given up yet: "You can try once."
Qiao Yuan then stopped talking.
Su Zeyuan obviously took Qiao Yuan and Gu Yan's silence as a tacit agreement: "You should go back."
As the other party finished speaking, Qiao Yuan and Gu Yan both felt the familiar darkness engulfing their bodies again.
When Qiao Yuan woke up, the first thing that caught his eye was the roof of the car.
Qiao Yuan:?
She should have been in the hotel, why did she move here?
Turning her eyes slightly, she saw a handsome face that was all too familiar to her——
It’s Sheng Guiye.
Standing behind Sheng Guiye were Fei and Song Yanchi.
Wait, why are these three people here?
After realizing that Qiao Yuan had woken up, the three of them looked relieved.
It was the first time that Qiao Yuan saw these three people have such consistent expressions.
"Great, you finally woke up." Fei said happily, and Qiao Yuan finally learned from him what had happened.
After she sent that message, Fei and the others had been thinking about coming to find her, but they were hesitant as to whether rashly entering her room would affect her negotiations with Yougi.
After all, Fei and others also knew the importance of this matter, so they had to carefully consider whether their every move would have an impact on Qiao Yuan.
What Ling Fei and others didn't expect was that at this moment they suddenly felt the ground shaking violently, which was even more violent than an earthquake.
Realizing the danger was coming, they did not hesitate and went upstairs directly. Although the shaking had stopped by the time they reached the floor, for safety reasons, the three of them still temporarily moved Qiao Yuan to the car.
Song Yanchi added: "This tremor is very strange, it seems to be a global earthquake."
Qiao Yuan understood the reason, after all, she had just seen it with her own eyes.
Qiao Yuan: "I know the reason. It was Su Zeyuan who did it."
After hearing the name Qiao Yuan said, Sheng Guiye and Song Yanchi were both stunned.
After all, they both had experienced that copy at that time, so the name that Qiao Yuan mentioned was particularly familiar to them.
But why did this matter involve Su Zeyuan?
