Chapter 417 [The Man Who Painted the Heavenly Sword]

The door was closed.

Chen Xiaolian looked at the furnishings of the room that he had come to for the second time, and suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

If it weren't for being blackmailed by that dead fat man that night, if it wasn't for picking up that ancient painting in the room......

Chen Xiaolian walked to the kitchen, found a cup by himself, poured a glass of water on the faucet, drank it slowly, walked back to the living room, and sat on the sofa.

"Say, what are we going to talk about now?"

Instead of answering this question immediately, Heavenly Sword asked rhetorically, "Can you tell me how you came to be where you are now...... I mean, you're not the identity of the Awakened, what's the matter?"

Chen Xiaolian didn't answer this question either.

"Okay. Heavenly Dao's tone seemed to be a little depressed: "Maybe this question is too deep, maybe this is your biggest secret." I didn't mean to snoop into your secrets, that's ...... This is also the fulfillment of my last wish. ”

Chen Xiaolian still didn't speak.

Heavenly Sword continued to talk to himself.

“...... Back then, I was full of spirit, leading those old brothers, crisscrossing one copy after another, succeeding again and again, and then entering Zero City, our strength is getting stronger and stronger - no, to be precise, my strength is getting stronger and stronger, for the future development of the team, I challenged the resident team in Zero City, and then a series of difficulties and obstacles, and finally got the recognition of other resident teams, so that Daoshan Huohai obtained the qualification of the resident team of Zero City.

At the time, I was always excited. I think I have found long-term peace and stability for myself, or for the sake of my brothers in the team. Zero City, in my opinion at the time. Without a doubt, the safest place in this gaming world. ”

When Chen Xiaolian heard this, he snorted: "You mean, a shelter?"

"That's right, a refuge, a ...... Xanadu. ”

"And then?" asked Chen Xiaolian quietly.

And then ...... Of course I was wrong. ”

Chen Xiaolian noticed. The word used by the Heavenly Sword is "of course".

A categorical "of course"!

"In the beginning, everything seemed to be fine in City Zero, everything was as good as I thought it would be. It's safe, there's competition, but at least, we're in control, we're at least free -- it seems like that.

But soon, I gradually felt less and less happy.

We are here, a refuge. But isn't it a cage?

This place is safe, the outside world is dangerous, we just have to hide here and not get out - not out!

And, on the outside, we are under the control of the main system of the world.

Here, how can we escape the constraints of the Zero City system?

Freedom? I don't feel much of it, at least in City Zero. ”

Chen Xiaolian didn't speak, he was listening carefully.

He keenly felt that this was an opportunity. An opportunity to get to know City Zero.

From the mouth of the top S-rank master in Zero City. From the mouth of the head of a resident team, listen to Zero City. A chance of what the hell is going on.

The words of the Heavenly Sword continue.

“...... If City Zero is safe and a place of refuge, I first asked myself a question...... So how did Zero City come into being in the earliest days?"

Chen Xiaolian smiled deliberately: "How did it happen?"

Heavenly Sword sighed: "No one can say clearly. ”

He paused for a moment and added, "In Zero City, including the people in the Senate. Everyone says the same thing...... Similar, yet vague.

The unanimous understanding of everyone is that a long, long time ago, there was a group of powerful awakened people who went through hardships and dangers in order to escape from the constraints of the main system. created a paradise like Zero City...... This is a great groundbreaking achievement.

But who exactly is the creator...... We don't know.

And where did the founders go later, and why they didn't stay in Lin Jianli - we don't know!"

Chen Xiaolian was silent.

He probably knew a little more about this matter than the Heavenly Sword.

Tiandao suddenly asked Chen Xiaolian a question: "Have you ever moved?"

"Huh?"

"Moving. Tiandao said coldly: "It's that you lived in a house before, and then moved and changed houses." ”

"Uh...... Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Tiandao sneered: "This kind of thing like moving may be very interesting. Think about it: Suppose you have a house and you have to move out of it...... So, at least one thing can be said. ”

"What's the problem?"

"Explanation, this house is not good enough. ”

Chen Xiaolian was suddenly speechless.

"If we think of City Zero as a house...... So why did the owners of the first batch of houses leave and move? Doesn't that mean that in the eyes of the first batch of owners, this house ...... Not good enough!

Perhaps, they found a better house, a better shelter, a better paradise?

Otherwise, why would they leave?

Isn't this house good enough, not safe enough?"

Chen Xiaolian thought for a while: "This explanation is a bit interesting, but ...... Maybe they didn't want to move, but ...... Maybe they're dead?"

Tiandao smiled: "Dead, okay, then there are more problems...... Why didn't anyone in Zero City understand it? It seems that everyone doesn't know much about it.

And then there's ...... Since City Zero is a Vault, why do the people in the Vault still die?

If the people in the vault were going to die...... Isn't it that this shelter is not safe at all!"

Chen Xiaolian fell silent again.

"Have you ever been on the battlefield? Heavenly Dao asked coldly.

"Went to the battlefield in the dungeon...... Cold weapons. ”

"I've been on a real battlefield, not in a dungeon, but in a real one. Before I became the Awoken, I was a soldier. Heavenly Dao snorted, but said slowly in a very solemn tone: "On the battlefield, I have had an experience. We'll dig our own cat ear holes with our own hands. Dig shelters, dig bomb craters, and make defensive bunkers......

On the battlefield, will I give up the bunker or shelter I dug with my own hands?

Of course not!

Unless it's ...... This bunker is already in a dangerous state! Unless it is clear to me that this shelter is not safe from enemy fire!

That's when I'm leaving!

So...... I think. The people who founded City Zero back then...... Perhaps, I think the same thing as me. ”

Chen Xiaolian was surprised!

He was so shocked that he couldn't even speak!

Of course, Tiandao didn't know the story of Mr. Umbrella's group.

However, just by relying on these logical guesses, he actually speculated Mr. Umbrella's explanation of Zero City to the same extent!

This is very close to what Mr. Umbrella said!!

Zero City ...... It's not safe!

"So you...... Decided to do something?" asked Chen Xiaolian.

"Yes, it took me so much thought and effort to get our brothers into City Zero and get the qualification for the permanent team...... I don't ****** care how honorable the resident team of Zero City is.

I care. I want to find a safe way out for myself, for my children and grandchildren, and for my brothers!

A future! A future without worrying and worrying about it!

At first, I thought City Zero was what I was looking for.

But then, I found more and more that Zero City couldn't meet this goal.

So, I started a new search.

I'm thinking, the people who first founded City Zero. Where did you go? maybe...... The answer lies in them!"

Chen Xiaolian sighed: "You...... Found the painting?"

Heavenly Sword was silent for a moment, and finally admitted: "Yes." I found the painting. ”

Chen Xiaolian asked, "Where did you find that painting?"

Tiandao smiled bitterly: "In one dungeon, I met a very strong opponent, an opponent that even I couldn't defeat with all my might.

That guy should have a chance to kill me - it's a bit frustrating to say, but that's the way it is.

At that time, I was already S-class. But I'm no match for him.

At least, I can't beat him.

It looked like we were tied, but I always had the strange feeling that he seemed to be able to kill me. But it didn't.

Later, when I was almost exhausted, he suddenly stopped and asked me a question.

I remember very well when he asked me, "Would you feel sorry if you died here now?"

Chen Xiaolian was stunned.

His face turned odd.

This...... What is the problem?

"The other party is...... Players?" asked Chen Xiaolian.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because...... The most powerful Awakened are in City Zero, and they can still outperform your opponents, I think, it should be the player's camp. Chen Xiaolian speculated very firmly.

Heavenly Sword seemed to be silent for a while, but made a strange answer.

"Perhaps...... yes, but I'm not sure. ”

Chen Xiaolian was stunned again, and after a while, he asked, "And then?"

When he asked me this question, I replied: I regret that I have not been able to find a safe home for my brothers.

And he listened, and continued to ask me: You are from Zero City, don't you think Zero City is not safe enough?"

Chen Xiaolian's eyes lit up: "How did you answer?"

"I replied: a cage-like hellish place, safe fart!"

"And then?"

"Then ......" Tiandao's tone suddenly became unpredictable, and he whispered, "Then, he actually let me go." And gave me one thing. ”

"The painting?"

"Yes, it's the painting. Tiandao's voice was a little dazed, and there was also some helplessness: "He said to me: You are the only person in Zero City I have seen, and the only one whose brain has not been broken."

Then he gave me the painting and asked me: Do you want to find a real safe home?

I asked him, "Is City Zero good?"

He said he didn't know, but he was sure that he was at least closer to the truth than City Zero. ”

Chen Xiaolian's pupils contracted, and his chest rose and fell: "You accepted that painting?"

"Of course I accepted it, I had already fought to the point of exhaustion at that time, and if I didn't agree, I would probably die, so why didn't I take it......? An umbrella.

If I could find that umbrella, maybe I would be closer to the truth. ”

An umbrella!

Chen Xiaolian resisted the impulse in his heart and said in a deep voice: "That...... Who is the person who painted you?"

"......" Tiandao paused again for a few seconds: "I don't know who he is. ”
