Chapter 277: Yocuris's Gamble
"You...... What did you just say?" Yang Xiaokai glared at Youcuris with wide eyes, "Is Xia Cheng still alive?"
"It's not just her, the five people who separated from your team half a year ago, with zero deaths, formed a small group and headed for the exit in the opposite direction with you, they arrived at the other edge of Stone City two days ago, and are now on their way to the second 'hive'. With a wave of his right hand, a map of the Stone City suddenly appeared in mid-air, with many small grids like beehives, each of which was a city centered on the Black Tower!
The map lasted for a short time, and Yang Xiaokai couldn't remember its full picture, only knowing that among the many beehives, there was a blue beehive like a core, and from the distance, it seemed to be an exit from another world.
"Summer City...... Alive. Yang Xiaokai seemed to sense something, raised his head and asked, "You didn't just come here to tell me these things, right? β
"Let's hear it. β
"First of all, why did you summon us here? What good is it for you to do so? You are a god, would it be pleasant to torture a group of mortals?" asked Yang Xiaokai Zhengse.
"Pleasure? There is no such thing, the gods don't have pleasure. Rather, I summoned you here to inquire about this, and you found out on the way that you weren't the first humans to come here. β
"So what?"
"You're in a hurry, why are you worried that you've been here for too long, and your companions outside will worry?"
"Don't talk nonsense, don't get in my way if you don't say it, get out of the way. Yang Xiaokai took a step forward, and what Ucuris meant was probably that as long as you activated something on that console, you could get something, as long as you activated all the cities, the central exit would open.
"Time stands still here, wonder why you haven't heard anything since you were discovered by those creatures? β
"Even then, I'm in a hurry. β
"It started a long time ago, so let me think about where to start...... Oh, there it is. β
"Do you know how old a Jiazi is?"
Yang Xiaokai seems to have heard people in the orphanage say this word when he was a child, but he was not impressed: "I remember that it seems to be about sixty years, why do you ask this?"
"This is how much time you are going to spend in this world. β
"What do you mean?"
"As you can see, if you were to think of your current situation as a game, there are only three ways to get through the game. One, find the exit within the specified time, two, miss the exit and kill each other until the last person, that person will be eligible to return to this world, and third, if you plan to stay in my world like this, not to kill, not to be killed, and to live a peaceful and quiet life, it is not impossible, this is also a way to leave. Sixty years later, the life span of this game will come to an end, and all humans who participate in the game will be forcibly 'sent' back to their world, but because of the speed of space-time, if you return to the present world after sixty years, your lifespan will be absorbed in the space-time rift, and if you are lucky enough to return to the present world, you will probably have the last breath of life left. β
"Isn't that like dead? β
"Correct solution, so there are only the first two ways to clear the game. A part of humanity will be summoned to this world in every Jiazi, and I will absorb the emotions and wills of humans and use them to study the true gods. Yucuris laughed.
"Are you bringing so many people here to torture to death for your own research?"
"The earth is a magical world, and its magic lies in the inexhaustible supply of human beings. If you think about it, there are 370,000 births on Earth every day, but only 150,000 people die every day, and even if you count accidental deaths, this number will never be proportional to the number of births. Sixty years of playing a game that only requires more than forty people to die is already extremely merciful for a populated earth. β
"What did they do......
"Huh?"
"I'm asking you what they have done that must be killed?" Yang Xiaokai's eyes were on fire, and he said angrily.
"None of them are the most heinous, but in order to ensure the randomness of the sample, even innocent people will be selected. Moreover, humans are not truly innocent creatures, they provoke wars and fight each other, and they are no different from lowly beasts. Everyone has sins that can't be washed away, insects that are accidentally trampled to death, meat in three meals, ants are small, but they can be regarded as killing, such human beings, are you still going to defend them?"
Yang Xiaokai was speechless for a while, what Youcuris said was indeed the truth, and the stain of human beings could not be erased no matter what, so what he and humans did was almost like looking in the mirror, and he couldn't find the slightest words that could be refuted.
"Yang Xiaokai, let's take a gamble. β
"Bet on what?" Yang Xiaokai frowned.
"Just bet on you. β
"Me?"
"If you can survive to the end, I will resurrect all the dead in this game with the power of Godhead. But if you die, everything will be business as usual, and the person who survives will be eligible to return to this life, how about it, their lives are all in your hands now, this feeling of holding everyone's lifeblood is uncomfortable, right?"
Yang Xiaokai suddenly felt that something was pressing heavily on his body, and the feeling became heavier and heavier, making him unable to raise his head.
"Sounds good, deal. β
"Oh, it's more refreshing than I thought, aren't you going to think about it again?"
"What I need is not to think, but to use my strength to survive to the end. β
Interesting answer, it's not bad. Ucuris made a way and stood on the side of the Crystal Bridge in the air, "As soon as that console is activated, the city will be unlocked, and to tell you, not every one of these cities can be unlocked to open the exit by activating it like this." β
"What?"
"It's time for me to go, although I am a god, my body in the Nether can only last for a short time. Yucuris's body slowly turned into a dark green dead tree, and gradually lost the attachment of divine power, "Yang Xiaokai, I'm looking forward to the game with you, let me see it, who can win, is you...... Or Yui Natsushiro. β
The dead wood completely lost its luster and fell from a great height, and soon after there was the sound of landing.
"I just talked to myself and walked away. Yang Xiaokai took a deep breath and was about to activate the console in front of him, but Ucuris's words suddenly flashed in his head, and his hand suddenly stopped above the console, not daring to press the button on the screen, "Goo......"
Yucuris said that the unlocking of these hives is not irregular, and it seems that some kind of pattern is needed to open the middle exit, and that Xia City, who came to the Stone City before him, has already unlocked a hive, and if there is any mystery in this, it is likely that pressing the button easily will burn all the efforts that have been put to waste.
"That guy from Summer City...... Hopefully she knows how to unlock these hives. Yang Xiaokai trembled and pressed the button on the screen, it is not easy to enter this kind of place for the second time, even if you press the wrong button, you can't miss this opportunity.
As the button was pressed, a beam of green light rushed straight from the console to the top of the tower, and several green lines spread from the top of the tower to the bottom of the tower, this is what God said about unlocking the city, I don't know what will happen after unlocking.
"Roarβ"
There was a roar at the bottom of the tower, and it seemed that since the moment the hive was unlocked, the time limit of the Black Tower had also been lifted, and a large number of nuclear-level creatures had broken through the gate and rushed in, and at this moment their physical strength had recovered about half.
The body landed quickly until he was able to step on the head of a monster in front of him, and Obsidian's innate ability suddenly rushed out of his body, dodging numerous attacks and galloping towards the top of a building, where he didn't have to fear those nuclear-level creatures coming to him for trouble.
"Sister Samusa, can you hear me?" Yang Xiaokai tried to connect with her obsidian in the same way as Samuzo before.
"Xiaokai, what's going on over there?"
"It's okay for the time being, I'll talk about some things when I go back, I'm trapped on the roof of a building by a group of nuclear-class creatures right now, it may take some time to get rid of them, don't worry about me, I'll be able to go back soon." Yang Xiaokai immediately cut off the call, which was more energy-consuming than expected, and it was really something that only a person with a shrewd mind like Samuzo could do.
"Next, how do you get rid of these annoying guys?" glanced at the nuclear creatures piled up under the building, they would now be seen no matter which direction they fled from, and if they were discovered, they would definitely be followed all the way to death.
Nuclear-class creatures rely primarily on their sense of sight and smell to hunt down enemies, and now at the top of the building, their vision is cut off, which means that they only need to be out of range of their sense of smell to get around their encirclement perfectly.
Recovering his strength a little, Yang Xiaokai concentrated his energy and stared at the sun above his head, rushing towards it with all his might, until he touched the clouds, he began to fall in the direction where Sakura was located, and he was able to avoid some of the physical exertion while falling freely, and he was about to touch a hundred meters in the air before he continued to use his natural ability to stop his body.
"Kai!"
"Hey, why did you come back so soon?, what's the situation inside?" Fujiwara asked as he looked at Yang Xiaokai, who had landed in a hurry, but he ran towards the building where Samusa was without saying a word.
