Chapter 712: Do You Mind?]
Zhao Yun slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a green canopy, and the dawn of the dawn sprinkled down through the cracks in the leaves, stinging her eyes.
But she immediately sprang over and jumped up, looking around vigilantly.
"You're finally awake. Chen Xiaolian sat not far in front of her, holding a piece of instant pizza in his hand, and was munching on it. Seeing Zhao Yun wake up, he grabbed a piece from the pizza box in front of him and handed it to Zhao Yun: "Eat first, what do you want to ask, and then ask after eating." β
Zhao Yun glanced around, nodded, didn't say much, took the pizza handed by Chen Xiaolian, and after taking a bite, he frowned slightly, moved his hand and looked down.
"Not to your appetite?" Chen Xiaolian laughed, "You really haven't eaten this thing." β
"It's ok. Zhao Yun shook his head, regained his faint expression, ate the pizza in his hand in three or two bites, and unceremoniously reached out to pick up a piece from the box and continued to stuff it into his mouth.
"It's the first time I've seen a woman as beautiful as you, but she eats so much. Chen Xiaolian laughed and pushed the box in front of Zhao Yun: "It's all yours." β
Zhao Yun finished eating the pizza in the box, wiped the oil in his hand on the cloak, and looked up at Chen Xiaolian: "They ...... Are they all dead?"
"Who?ah, you said those cavalry?" Chen Xiaolian immediately reacted: "I didn't see it with my own eyes, but they were all surrounded in the end, so ...... I guess they all died in battle. β
"Hmm. After hearing this, Zhao Yun still had no expression on his face, only nodded lightly and stood up.
"You...... Nothing else you want to ask me?" Chen Xiaolian blinked: "You shouldn't have any memory of me now." And the stuff we have in our hands, and the big guy in the back...... You probably haven't seen anything you haven't seen before. But when I look at it, why don't you seem to be curious about us at all?"
"I don't have time to be curious right now. Zhao Yun shook his head and said lightly: "Where is this, how far is it from Jiangling?"
"Are you going to find your lord Liu Bei?" Chen Xiaolian laughed: "My suggestion is, forget it." It doesn't make any sense. β
Zhao Yun ignored Chen Xiaolian, looked up at the height of the sun, turned his head and left: "If you don't say it, I'll find it myself." β
"Hey, can you listen to me well?" Chen Xiaolian sighed helplessly: "All this is fake, do you know?"
"Fake?" Zhao Yun stopped and turned his head to look at Chen Xiaolian: "What do you mean?"
"Chen Xiaolian. Chen Xiaolian stretched out his finger and pointed at himself: "We have met before." On the other side of the world. It's you, let me come to you. And everything that is happening here now, your lord, your men, everything you rememberβis fake!"
Zhao Yun sneered, with an idiot expression on his face, turned his head and continued to walk.
"If you are willing to listen to me finish my words and insist on going to Liu Bei, I can send you there. Chen Xiaolian spread his hands: "Luo Di, fly around and show her." β
Luo Di was originally sitting far away against the tide fighter, but when he heard Chen Xiaolian's words, he nodded, jumped into the hatch, and started the engine quickly.
There was an indiscernible buzz, and the Tidal Fighter lifted into the air, circled in the air, and fell back to the ground.
From the moment the fighter took off, Zhao Yun's eyes changed, staring at the fighter in the air, unable to believe the picture he saw.
"Tricks?" Zhao Yun lowered his head and looked at Chen Xiaolian again: "How fast can this thing fly?"
"Soon. It doesn't take half an hour to take you to Liu Bei. Chen Xiaolian laughed: "Now, are you willing to sit down and listen to me speak slowly?"
......
"So, we saved you and brought you here. It took Chen Xiaolian an hour to finish telling Zhao Yun in detail all the things about the Awakened, the Players, the Loopholes, and the Dungeon.
And from beginning to end, Zhao Yun had been listening quietly and had not interrupted Chen Xiaolian.
It wasn't until Chen Xiaolian finished speaking that she nodded slowly: "So, you mean, my loyalty to the lord is all fabricated by that thing called the system?"
"It used to exist. Chen Xiaolian pondered for a while: "It's just ...... Now whether it is Liu Bei or Cao Cao in this dungeon, they are just NPCs arranged by the system. Your loyalty should be to the real Liu Bei, not to ...... This NPC. β
"If what you say is true, then that lord is just an NPC, isn't it?" Zhao Yun smiled faintly: "Although everything you said is bizarre, it is reasonable. Plus that-"
She pointed to the Tidal Fighter not far away: "Big thing." I want to believe you. Only, how are you going to get me out? And the girl you're looking for is Jojo, and I don't know where she is. β
"I don't know. Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "Your situation is too different from Bai Qi." At that time, he had no consciousness of his own at all, just a puppet of the system. And you have your own thoughts and memories. At that time, I used a prop in the dungeon, the Tiger Talisman, and he automatically became my battle spirit. But for you...... It seems that the same approach is not working anymore. β
"Let me see, what you said is white. He might know something. Zhao Yun thought for a moment.
Chen Xiaolian hesitated.
At the end of the world, as soon as Bai Qi saw Zhao Yun, he went crazy and stepped forward to fight. Now release it again, in case there is another fight like this......
"What are you waiting for?" Zhao Yun frowned.
"Okay. Chen Xiaolian took a deep breath: "This guy ...... I can't fully control it. So if he attacks you later, you'll have to be careful. β
Zhao Yun smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth and nodded.
"Then ......" Chen Xiaolian cautiously took two steps back and released Bai Qi.
A black aura condensed, and when it dispersed again, a figure wearing a simple robe had already appeared on the ground.
As soon as Bai Qi appeared, his eyes were locked on Zhao Yun's body, but to Chen Xiaolian's relief, this time, he didn't make a move, but just stared at Zhao Yun without saying a word.
"Are you Bai Qi?do you know me?" Zhao Yun looked Bai Qi up and down: "When you left the end of the world, you said let me come to you." It's not you I found, but we're meeting now. β
"You...... ...... than me Complete...... ...... tampered with" Bai Qi looked at Zhao Yun for a long time, and finally slowly opened his mouth jerky, word by word: "Copy...... Finish...... Get...... Release ......"
After saying a few words intermittently, Bai Qi closed his eyes.
Chen Xiaolian asked Bai Qi several times in a row, but he seemed to be frozen and didn't move or open his mouth again.
Chen Xiaolian had no choice but to put Bai Qi into the tiger talisman first, but his brows furrowed tightly.
He said...... I don't seem to understand. Chen Xiaolian frowned: "What does it mean to complete the copy and get released?"
"Didn't you say before that every quest has a mission objective, and if I complete the mission objective, I can get out of the dungeon's control. Is this difficult to understand?" Zhao Yun glanced at Chen Xiaolian.
"I don't seem to have told you yet, what is the mission goal of this dungeon, right?" Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "Yes...... I'm going to kill you!"
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and also smiled bitterly.
......
"Idol, hello idol......"
Luo Di rubbed his hands and cautiously took two steps forward, but he was still several meters away from Zhao Yun: "I've been a child, and I admired you when I watched the Three Kingdoms! Changbanpo is seven in and seven out, riding alone to save the young master, is it handsome! But I never expected that you are still such a beautiful beauty!"
When Chen Xiaolian and Zhao Yun were talking just now, they asked Luo Di and the others to avoid it for the time being, so that they could speak alone. Now, in order to figure out the meaning of what Bai Qi said, everyone gathered again.
"Okay, I'll talk about it later. Chen Xiaolian punched Luo Di's shoulder: "Bai Qi said something to Zhao Yun just now, but I can't figure out what he means." β
"So, it's time to give full play to my intelligence?" Luo Di hurriedly patted his chest: "Sister Yun, put ten thousand hearts! The think tank of the meteorite team, it's me! It will definitely not be worse than your Zhuge Kongming!"
"Roddy, my brother, is usually not serious, but he is reliable at critical moments. Chen Xiaolian smiled, introduced the team members to Zhao Yun, and repeated what Bai Qi had just said.
"Completion of the mission?" Roddy's eyes widened, "But...... The task issued by the system is to kill ...... Kill her!"
"That's why I hope you can brainstorm ideas. Chen Xiaolian spread his hands: "Literally, it's true, but I don't dare to take this risk." If we really do this, and Sister Yun really dies, where are we going to regret it?"
"And...... I don't think Sister Yun will honestly let us kill her, right?" Luo Di smiled at Sister Yun flatteringly.
"Logically...... It doesn't make sense. Tire said in a deep voice: "The system issued such a task, and it was precisely because it detected Zhao Yun's existence that it would summon so many awakened people to enter the dungeon together and try to kill her." If dying in a copy is a relief for her, then what is the system doing all this for?"
"Let's do it again...... Every word should be carefully studied. Luo Di looked at Chen Xiaolian: "You are more complete than me, you have been tampered with, and the copy has been released after completion...... That's all, isn't it?"
"There's nothing to study ahead. Chen Xiaolian sighed: "You are more complete than me, it should mean that Bai Qi has lost most of his sanity, and although Zhao Yun has lost his memory, he at least has a complete personality and thinking ability." Being tampered with means that she has been assigned new memories and her strength has been greatly weakened. And then...... The quest is complete and released...... I really can't think of any other explanation than the literal sense. And...... I don't think Bai Qi is a person who can play dumb riddles. β
"Will it ...... Isn't that the copy you referring to?" The spare tire interjected: "Maybe we can save Zhao Yun by completing another copy?"
"First, I've never heard of two different separate copies that can affect each other. Second, even if that's the case, how are we going to get out of this quest if we don't complete the mission?"
Except for Zhao Yun, everyone lowered their heads and thought hard, but after thinking about it for a long time, there was still no result.
"You are more complete than me, tampered with, and the copy is completed and released...... You're more complete than me, tampered with, and the copy is complete and released......" Roddy closed his eyes and muttered the words left by Bai Qi over and over in his mouth. I don't know how long I read it, but suddenly I screamed and jumped up: "I understand! I understand!"
"What do you understand?" Chen Xiaolian looked at Luo Di in surprise: "Say it quickly!"
"Bai Qi that guy, talking stumbling and panting, so...... You broke his sentence wrong!" Luo Di punched the ground excitedly: "Those three words that have been tampered with do not refer to Sister Yun, but to this copy!"
"Makes sense. After thinking about it for a while, he understood what Luo Di meant: "The original mission goal of this copy was not to kill Zhao Yun?"
"Yes!" Luo Di said excitedly: "Think about it, if it weren't for Sister Yun's strength, this copy would be too easy! Cao Cao's army has tens of thousands, and the awakened ones were directly thrown into Cao Cao's camp, but Liu Bei on the opposite side was a group of old and weak soldiers. With this natural advantage, there is no difficulty at all.
So in the original setting, there may also be a Zhao Yun, but that Zhao Yun is just a virtual NPC, and it is by no means the Sister Yun in front of us now, let alone the target of the mission. If you want to make it a little difficult for players and Awakened Ones, then the opposing side cannot be Liu Beijun, but only Cao Caojun!"
It is also possible that it is carried out in two positions. Chen Xiaolian added: "Remember the London dungeon? In the battle for the throne, both William and Harold were systematically assigned players and awakened ones. And in the Jerusalem dungeon, we were the only team to join the dark faction, while the other participants were all from the light faction. β
"Definitely. This makes more sense. Luo Di accepted Chen Xiaolian's correction of his speculation: "Therefore, it is more dangerous to join Liu Bei's side, but the benefits may be more abundant." It is less difficult to join Cao Cao's side, but the rewards for completing it will be much less. When either side completes the task, the copy ends. This should be the original appearance of this copy!"
"So...... Here's the problem. Chen Xiaolian frowned: "In the prompt we received, the mission goal is only to kill Zhao Yun. Now that the copy has been tampered with, how are we going to get it done?"
"I think ...... Since Bai Qi said so, it should be done directly. Luo Di said quickly: "I guess, although the system added a task to this dungeon, it did not cancel the original task, but only blocked its related prompts." Then these tasks become equivalent to ...... We won't see it in the message, but it can be done!, except that the system won't notify you until it's completed. β
"It's not 100 percent likely, but it's worth a try. Chen Xiaolian nodded: "Find Qiaoqiao first, then complete the task and end this copy." But ......"
He raised his head and smiled bitterly at Zhao Yun: "If I say that we are going to kill Liu Bei, will you mind?"
