Chapter 68 Core Content
Supervisor Lowell left his seat and walked to the window.
Through the dusty glass, one could see with the naked eye that in the inky darkness outside the window, there was a strange, undulating red light that occasionally appeared in waves.
The dense and eerie red light mixed with the inky darkness, weaving a dense giant net that enveloped the entire town.
Supervisor Lowell took a deep breath.
"Forbidden Magic: Breath of Hell" is not Yang's limit at all... This bastard can even move the void!
If he hadn't been unsure of taking down the black magician Yang, the fact that this madman had brought the "realm of the void" into reality would have been enough for him to hang Yang hundreds of times! !
Supervisor Lowell felt a little regretful. His decision to stay in the Exile Town seemed unwise.
He couldn't stop the black magician from going crazy - no, after seeing Yang bring the "Void Realm" to reality, even his confidence in being able to escape safely began to waver...
"If a spellcaster becomes a believer, he will lose the qualification to control magic power... How on earth can he control magic power and evil power at the same time?!" Lowell was puzzled.
To ask would reveal his fear.
Lowell could only remain silent.
No matter how curious, frightened or confused you are, you have to hold it in.
The Travelers' Guild, eight bungalows in a row, the first one from the left.
Hal, Tuttle and Pansy hurriedly moved their luggage into the bungalow before dark. When night fell, the three of them lit their lanterns at the same time, illuminating the 20-square-meter house.
The five women next door had already gone to bed early, but Hal and the other two were not sleepy at all.
"That black-robed inspector is unable to stop this madman Yang..." Feeling that his future was bleak, Hal sighed for the umpteenth time.
"We were actually thinking of robbing that guy and then running away. Lady Gold Coin, we're lucky we didn't offend this guy to death." Pansy said with lingering fear.
"I remember that spellcasters should be more afraid of the void than anyone else. Even a trace of the breath of the void can drive the spellcaster crazy. Even the holy wizard of the Kenyan Empire refused to personally seal the space-time rift leading to the void... What is different about Yang? Why can he be so bold as to fill the entire town with the breath of the void?" Tattle was exhausted from thinking about it.
"Rather than being afraid of the breath of the void, the most terrifying thing is that this guy can actually bring the breath of the void into reality." Hal said in despair, "Damn it, that's the void!"
Pansy and Tuttle turned pale after hearing this...
The Void, the end of all nothingness, the place of all terror, the end of all extinction - it is also the tomb of the Old Ones and the exile place of the lost gods!
The demons that came from the void are the second worst disaster after the ancient gods!
Tuttle let out a long breath and said with a sad face: "Hal, Pansy, I think...it's time for us to make a decision."
After hearing this, Pansy subconsciously turned to look at Hal.
From the beginning, Pansy never explicitly expressed her dissatisfaction with life in Exile Town.
Pansy herself actually had no objection to living under the shadow of a dark wizard...to be honest, the days when she was a highwayman in the Grand Canyon of the Sorenson Mountains were not much better than now.
Hal's expression changed several times and he slapped his thigh heavily.
“…Well!” To prevent his two companions from seeing his guilty conscience, the former leader of the thieves’ gang tried hard to act like he was unwilling but had to compromise for the sake of everyone else. He said tragically, “Even the black-robed inspectors of the Prosperity Church can’t stop that crazy black magician. We can’t risk our own lives!”
The subtext is - for the sake of everyone, let's not go against Yang and just be obedient citizens. Just pretend you didn't hear what I said when I was inciting you.
Tuttle and Pansy, two pretty smart guys, didn't know if they could see that Hal was a tough guy, they all nodded in agreement.
Next, Tuttle and Pansy were very tactful and chimed in with a lot of polite words like "stay useful for the future" and "we have to endure the humiliation for the sake of all the brothers", trying their best to save Hal's face.
The three guys talked excitedly for a long time, and Pansy suddenly noticed something and asked curiously: "Tuttle, why is your shadow a little faint?"
"Really?" Tuttle looked down at himself. "It may be because I lit two more lanterns. My shadow has cast three shadows."
"Maybe my eyes are blurry." Pansy said.
Fighters Guild.
After "sacrificing" Tang Jia, the players finally saw the NPC.
The lights were on in the bungalow that the two girls had broken into. Someone appeared at the window, leaned out to take a look, then walked to the open door and slammed it shut.
Entropy across the street did not increase, and my mouth opened wide.
"Charlie Rex?" Yang Ying asked in surprise, "The warrior instructor doesn't live in the tent anymore?"
"Xuexi, what did you see in the room?" Enbuteng grabbed Xuexi who was running back in shock.
"It's the warrior instructor!" He was still immersed in his studies and hadn't recovered from the fear. "Oh my god! That guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is not a good person. There are so many things growing on his body!"
"You're not seeing things, are you? The warrior instructor we saw just now was normal?" Jialuo said hurriedly.
"Oh my god, how could I be wrong ? Besides, I wasn't the only one who saw it. Xiaotang saw it too!" The man obsessed with studying gestured anxiously, "It's true. When Xiaotang and I pushed the door open, we saw the warrior instructor sleeping against the wall. There were many arms and legs sticking out from his forehead, chest, and shoulders. They were still alive and kept scratching. It scared the hell out of me!"
Yang Ying uttered a "huh", and the others also looked disgusted...
"...Not a civilian NPC? The problem is with a high-level NPC?" Entropy's forehead was full of question marks, "Wait, study, when you ran out, was it the warrior instructor who attacked you, or the arms and legs that grew on the warrior instructor?"
She was so obsessed with studying that she realized the significance of providing detailed information. After thinking about it carefully, she said uncertainly, "Well... how should I put it? When we went in, the warrior instructor was sleeping. What attacked Xiaotang and me were those messy ... uh... speaking of which, that arm didn't look like the warrior instructor's hand. It looked like a woman's hand. It was quite weird."
"A woman's hand!" En Bu Zeng's tiger body trembled.
Ming Feng Chunpu was puzzled: "But when the warrior instructor showed his face through the door and window just now, he looked no different from usual?"
"Yes, yes." Jialuo was completely confused and looked at Enbuteng in confusion, "Qingyue, what on earth is going on?"
En Bu Zeng held his chin up and thought for a while before saying, "Sister Ying, Jia Luo, do you remember when we first started the internal test, there were players who harassed the warrior instructor at night, and the warrior instructor chased and hacked many people to death?"
"Remember." Yang Ying nodded.
Jia Luo also said: "I can't forget it. That time, several mentors from the Walker Guild also killed a lot of people."
"The Warrior Instructor was able to hunt down players in the dark, so there's no reason why he would suddenly become night blind." En Buzeng let out a breath and said, "The Warrior Instructor was woken up in the middle of the night. We were only a short distance away from his bungalow, and we weren't hiding. He looked out the window, but he didn't catch up with us—"
Ming Feng Chunpu was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Does that mean that the Warrior Instructor can't see us?"
"Eh?" Yang Ying, Huan Ling, Jia Luo, and Shen Mi were all obsessed with studying and didn't understand.
"It's very likely." En Buzeng said solemnly, "In other words, the NPCs who don't leave the house during the event can't see us doing things outside the house."
"This... what's the point of such a setting? What difference does it make whether NPC can see us or not?" This time it was Ming Feng Chunpu's turn to have a forehead full of question marks.
"I don't know." En Buzeng shook his head. "There are only two things that can be confirmed now: First, the monster in the wooden house has a significant connection with the warrior mentor who is closest to the wooden house and was witnessed by Xue Xue and Tang Jia. Second, no matter whether it is the monster or the monster's body, it cannot be attacked. Third..."
Having said this, Entropy Does Not Increase stopped talking, as if he was in a dilemma and not sure whether his conclusion was correct.
"What is it?" Others were too embarrassed to ask, but Yang Ying didn't have that scruple.
"Third, the 'mutated' NPC himself may not know that he is different." En Bu Zeng concluded without any confidence, "Hmm... I also find this setting very strange, but if it is connected with 'NPC can't see us outside the house', it makes sense."
"The event announcement mentioned civilians, and the description of the event monsters was very ambiguous, 'scary beings attracted by the flesh and blood of living people.' Given the deceptive nature of this game and the incompetent planning, I can be sure that this was intentionally misleading us."
"In this case, I have to overturn my previous ideas. The core content of this activity is not that the civilian NPCs who have just arrived have 'activated' the mysterious characteristics of Exile Town, but that the high-level NPCs who have lived in Exile Town for a long time have given birth to some kind of monster similar to the inner demon that they themselves are unaware of due to the mysterious characteristics of Exile Town."
Entropy does not increase was explained very carefully from her perspective, but this conclusion still made a bunch of players confused and grimaced...
"Sister, can you tell me directly how we should fight this monster, or how to earn contribution points for this activity?" Shenxuexi said weakly, "I am not interested in the plot of the activity. It doesn't matter what the core content is. I just want contribution points."
"Me too." Yang Ying said sadly.
Entropy does not increase: "..."
As expected, I still want to have a friend who can write brilliantly...
"Wait, wait, wait." Ming Feng Chunpu understood something. "I understand what you mean. The 'resistance to erosion' of this activity... means to purify the NPCs that have been eroded. That's why you've been trying to figure out the source of the monsters in the activity. Is that what you mean?"
En Buzeng grasped Mingfeng's simple bone claws and said affectionately: "Mingfeng, add me as your WeChat friend later."
Yang Ying & Jia Luo: “???”
Tang Jia! You're green!
