Volume 7: War and Peace in an Abandoned Town Chapter 29: You are by my side
"It's too obvious. It's really too obvious."
After taking a look at the black wooden stick at hand, Li Lin turned to look at the ball of light and shrugged helplessly.
"At first I really thought you were too weak, but then I killed my way through the entire town by myself, and then I killed that stupid woman, and I felt something was wrong."
"Think about it. Can a strong AI do something like a deus ex machina? In other words, it is inevitable that there will be a bridge between that woman and me. If I don't go, I will have a battle with her sooner or later. In other words, the main perspective is just me and her. You seem to be dispensable."
"But that's wrong. You're the protagonist of this incident, and then you come out and say you're going to die so you drag people to pass on the treasure, and then suddenly you force two people to fight together? This is too crude, just like forcing two people to fight and choose one. This crudeness didn't show up when I killed the old man, but when . Maybe that's the embodiment of resentment, but what if?"
Ah, I've been a little suspicious since I was put in prison. This is really not a good habit for me.
Li Lin thought about it and felt a little sad.
If I were really just a reckless hero, it would be fine if I just completed the task and ran away, just like taking hormones. But the wrong intuition and rational judgment tore apart all the warm veils before.
All of this is just a trick played by the gods of the past to cover up their true position. Outsiders may have it, but it ended countless years ago. A relatively closed area will blur the concept of time, and a closed place will also cause sensory confusion. So reaching perfection directly may be the disguised ending that people of low levels can reach. People of high levels will instantly see through all of this and reach the real ending.
As for people like me who are stuck in bugs and have to wait for the fake ending to find the real ending, it must be very painful.
Although it's painful to get the result.
"The appearance of the embodiment of resentment in a kingdom of God is not unprecedented, but it is too rare. From the perspective of probability, I don't think I can be so lucky to encounter it just once, and then just happen to complete certain calculations, and then just happen to achieve everything. No, it won't happen. All my actions are due to my calculations, my thinking, and my arrangements. But this time I didn't, I seemed to have completed the task purely by luck and recklessness. So of course I will think, is there something wrong with me? Or is there a problem here itself?"
"If I had enough magic power, I could tear the surrounding epidermis apart by continuous output. But unfortunately, my magic power is sealed and can only be used for explosive bursts. Even after I awakened the second seal, my magic power did not change much. Don't you think this is very strange? I am clearly in the explosive state but I don't have any magic power? Until the end, when I saw you, the sentinel in the forest and the empty room, I was sure of my thoughts."
"You need magic power. You need to drain my magic power. Otherwise, you can't do anything. And because of some of the characteristics I showed, you became a little impatient and even resorted to dangerous means like Deus Ex Machina that could expose yourself. Am I right? You need me to leave quickly and don't want to see me here. That's what you think."
“…”
The ball of light floating in the air swayed, and after a long while, the sound of admiration was heard.
"It's a very interesting deduction. Although many parts are too far-fetched and rely on intuition, it is still a good deduction. You said it very well. I did see something in you that I don't want to see. That's because you shouldn't die here. This is the only thing I mean sincerely."
The light ball spoke in a steady, unhurried voice:
"Your future is still very exciting, just like mine back then. Young people always like to walk on the streets, thinking that they can change the world. Their blood is not yet cold, and their ideas are still pure. But how can young people change the world? I just don't want young people with potential like you to die in this kingdom of God. Some people's death is worthless, while the death of some people is extremely heavy. I think it's more interesting to let a passionate young man like you experience reality-"
"——So some young people changed the world, but you didn't. You are just a naive fool who only knows how to talk but not do anything. You didn't understand their deep hopes, and you didn't study and research why such results occurred. You only know how to talk about mutual understanding, and then you are like the sun that is wronged and wants to rot when you are beaten, saying that the world must be dark inside and will be destroyed sooner or later. If everything is bound to be dark, then why can't you do it? To put it bluntly, aren't you still a green hand, a big talker, and a naive fool?"
Don't lump me in with an idiot like you.
And he is just a stupid NPC, you know nothing about reality. Do you understand the data I am telling you?
Looking at the ball of light floating in the sky for a while, not knowing what it was saying, Li Lin sprayed it mercilessly.
After about ten minutes, the ball of light seemed to react, jumping up and down, and some strange emotions came out of its voice.
"…You are right. I am indeed very naive."
He said.
"So I won't make that mistake again."
The rotten sun floating in the air said calmly, and a bright light suddenly burst out from the black wooden stick, and suddenly turned around, piercing Li Lin's heart at the moment when he kept smiling.
Just as the player's death mechanism was about to be triggered, the black wooden stick cracked, revealing its internal structure - a human spine. As if to replace something, countless tentacles burst out from around the spine, tightly clasped Li Lin's heart, and then drilled into it along the wound.
In just a moment, the vertebrae in Li Lin's body made a series of explosions, and then were replaced by the strange spine.
"With so much of your magic power, even my bones can be replaced, right?"
What happens next depends on me.
The voice of the light ball remained steady, like an old man who was patiently telling others about his experience.
However, Li Lin's bones exploded inch by inch, and countless bones splashed out, spraying in the bloody and terrifying space around him. The bones all over his body collapsed and swelled up, as if they were chewed and spit out by an invisible monster, weird and terrifying.
