Volume 1 Crime and Punishment in Fog City Chapter 36 Epilogue
Players play games for satisfaction and fun, and they will not hesitate to do anything for this purpose. This is generally the case.
Playing games is about pursuing illusions and honors that cannot be satisfied in reality, and it is a recognition and redemption of oneself. Things that cannot be obtained in reality can be obtained in games, so it is natural to do whatever it takes to become stronger and evolve in the game.
The plot is touching, but when it comes to reality, they will still be sent to their respective battlefields to face death in a cold-blooded manner. Li Lin has always done this and thought this way. The announcement and settings of the game are absolute and have nothing to do with anything else. Everything in the game is illusory and unreal. All emotions and creations are simulated. Li Lin firmly believes in this.
But now Li Lin was slightly, just slightly, really just a tiny bit, feeling a tiny bit confused.
Judging from the game warning, Sally was fully capable of attacking him at that time. But why did she give up resistance?
What went wrong? Or was my mindset wrong?
"...Sir? Sir Li Lin?"
“…”
"Sir Lee Lin? Are you listening?"
"Ah, huh?"
Suddenly awakened from his thoughts, Li Lin looked at the noble sitting in front of him with some surprise and shook his head subconsciously.
"Sorry, I think I stayed underground for a little too long, and I'm a little confused. Where were we talking about?"
"The Devil of Mercy, the newly born great demon. Do you know anything about her? I heard that the destruction of the dungeon was because she became a demon. Do you have any detailed information about this?"
“…”
Of course I know. It would be better to say that the girl told me everything that could be told and could not be told.
Looking at the noble in front of him who was holding a notebook and seemed to be recording something, Li Lin folded his hands and pressed them against his forehead, and all the information he had received at that time echoed in his mind.
'Love the Devil Sallys'
'In ancient times, there was a Steam Church that made the common people happy. However, as time went by, the Steam Church gradually split. The losers went to the sky, and the strong went to hell. However, hell is hell. When they broke through the border of hell, the strong were cursed by the heavens and turned into ignorant beasts. The weak were dazzled by the power of the strong and were trapped on the border.'
'But the strong are still strong. They will break through the cage even if they are just wreckage. They cannot be restrained by the weak who cry and cry. They train themselves underground and build the city of hell, hoping to occupy the sky one day and return to glory. But the weak also have the ability of the weak. Although they are weak, they are quite wise. A man arrived underground when everything was still unclear, and presented unspeakable terror and despair to this miserable world. '
'The girl is obviously weak under the strong. Her mother is unfaithful and her father is fragile. And both sides do not really love this wrong daughter. Maintaining the peace on the surface, she is bitterly cold in her heart. So when the girl learned that her mother intended to make her a man's item, she was desperate. She planned an accident, and the socialite-like woman fell from the sky like a flower. With a cold heart, she squatted on the lifting platform every day, intending to die with her indifferent father. Her life is wrong, and the weak and fantasy-indulged father and the realistic and cruel mother are her nightmares. The girl has always thought so. '
'Then there, she encountered the redemption and light of her life.'
'Although it was only a few days, just a few days, the care and warmth were indeed the only kindness the girl received. Even after she knew the man's true identity and his true intentions, she did not hesitate at all.'
'Finally, with the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of people, the girl fulfilled her dream and received everyone's care and love. The souls of her parents, relatives, and all the souls of her cognition were sacrificed and became part of the girl's thoughts. She is the most lovable demon in the world. Her figure and the reflection in the subspace are enough to drive everyone who sees her crazy. However, only she knows that as long as the man's order arrives, she can easily cross over even death. '
'I don't know what love is, but if love is just about sharing life and death, leaning on each other, and being loyal to each other, then I can no longer look at any man, no longer communicate with any opposite sex, even if my soul is taken away, even if everything I have is taken away. If I want to be beautiful, I will change, if I want to be caring, I will learn, I just ask you not to abandon me.'
"Talk to me more, I will become beautiful - Sally"
'The new great demon Sallys is working hard to spread your reputation in the void. Anyone who dares to disrespect you will be smashed into pieces by the falling demon city. Your void legend degree is +1, and it is foreseeable that it will continue to improve.'
“…”
How can I say this? How can I say this?
Is this really just an ordinary game? Why does ?
And what's with this description? Real-time calculation? Is strong AI really that strong? It wasn't so realistic when I played weak AI games ten years ago?
"……I have no idea."
After thinking for a while, Li Lin sighed and said expressionlessly:
"I just killed all the troops outside. I don't know anything else."
"Really? It seems that the destruction of those bastards underground is completely destined by heaven."
The noble smiled gently, obviously not believing Li Lin's nonsense.
If it were anyone else, they would have just let it go. But the man in front of him said it didn't matter. The noble could dig out his eyes and kick them like balls. Although he had a mechanical brain, he was not a fool.
You said it has nothing to do with you, so it has nothing to do with you? Then why is it that others have nothing to do with you, but you will just lose a city once and for all? But the nobles did not dare to think too much. Being able to destroy a city means that he is likely to destroy the second one. It is much better to be a fool and pretend to know nothing than to be those who know a little thing and then go around complaining.
"Then our commission is complete."
"Well, where's my reward?"
“It’s all here.”
The noble snapped his fingers, and several boxes flipped over from the inside and appeared in front of Li Lin.
"The Holy Book of Steam is a treasure book that can quickly make you a great steam craftsman. It is said to be the holy relic of the Holy Spirit of Steam, Watt. It contains five pages of mysterious knowledge and a Holy Spirit of Steam medal. With it, you will be the most distinguished guest of Fog City. Moreover, this medal has magical powers that can allow you to have a deeper understanding of steam, and it is not impossible for you to even integrate into steam."
"Thank you. But I feel that the technologies here are very strange and weird. I think you should need what is recorded here more. I didn't encounter any strange weapons underground. It's not just your fault. Is it because the technology has been lost?"
"No, we don't need it. Because we are the Fog City Noble Council. The fewer people who master the technology, the better, don't you think?"
"Maybe. But you will suffer sooner or later."
"That will happen sooner or later, not now."
"Yeah, you're right."
After taking a deep look at the noble sitting at the table, Li Lin took the box from the table and stood up.
"Good-bye, then. I want to express my apologies for not being able to attend the society's meeting."
"Bon voyage, ser. I'll pass it on."
Until the bronze gate closed, the noble sitting on the chair still maintained a gentle smile, just like Li Lin did at the beginning.
