Chapter 30: A dead end
"White ...... Wake up, it's weird...... How do you sleep in a place like this? Feed! Wake up! Aren't you going to continue playing? ”
Li Bai dimly felt that someone was slapping her face.
This is...... The sound of apricots?
Slowly opening her eyes, she looked directly at Apricot like that, who was now holding her head in the crook of her arm, with an extremely anxious expression.
Apricot didn't know what was wrong with Li Bai.
She and Honda were in the forest, close to the mountains, because of the rockfall, and the game and the castle...... Separated from each other, the two were trapped in a cave by rolling down rubble and crushed trees, leaving Honda and her alone.
The trapped duo had tried to move the debris away, but it was too much effort, and the rest of the time couldn't wait to do it for them...... It was already past 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and by the time they had finished moving the stones, branches, and so on, it was already dark.
So there is no other way, and the game says that he will explore the cave with the castle and try to find another way out.
"I can feel that there is ventilation in this hole, which means that there is more than one entrance and exit, and I and the castle can go inside and check it out."
"It's okay with Apricot, and Honda, don't stand here, go to the gate of Bekass City and wait for our good news!"
So she and Honda came here first...... As soon as the two of them reached the bottom of the stairs, they were surprised to see a familiar white-haired figure lying there.
"Are you better?" Apricot pulled Li Bai's hair loose on her face so that her face could feel more comfortable.
"I seem to be with my brother...... Come out together, why ......" The girl stretched out her hand and touched the back of her neck, which was still a little sore, and she was a little dazed now, and she couldn't remember what happened for a while.
"What's going on...... I've seen you since Honda...... Didn't you go to the mountains to look for seahorses? Where is he? ”
"That's right!" Li Bai exerted his strength violently, propped up his upper body from the soft knee pillow and looked around, "Se...... What about the seahorse others? ”
Seem...... When he and the seahorse came out of the ground, they were immediately knocked unconscious.
She only remembered the qiē that happened before, but after remembering it, she fell into confusion again.
Why...... What is the seahorse going to do?
Looking around, there was no figure of a seahorse, and Li Bai's heart sank little by little.
She...... Is it still underestimating my brother's self-esteem? At this point, there is only one possibility that Seahorse would do so - he didn't want her to confront Bekas, so he went into the city alone after stuning her.
But his odds of winning are nil! Roaring wildly in his heart, Li Bai struggled to leave Apricot Zi's embrace.
In this day and age, it's a nightmare to rush into the cartoon world without any preparation, a nightmare that one never wants to experience a second time.
She must do everything in her power to stop the seahorses.
It was at this moment that the voice she least wanted and feared the most appeared.
[Warning, the fourth piece of the main quest failed]
[2 points will be deducted from the soul scale, and the current soul scale will be 62 left]
【Random deduction of one card】
"White? What happened to you...... Don't you scare me? Apricot was anxious to find that the girl in her arms suddenly froze and didn't have the right eyes...... Is it possible for a person's pupils to shrink so small?
"Honda, why are you still here! Take the kettle out of my bag! ”
=====================
"This is something entrusted to you by the Seahorse Seto." A middle-aged man with brown hair stood at the city gate, and Li Bai remembered that he seemed to be Bekas's butler.
With the gesture of the middle-aged man, a leather box was carried in front of her by two bodyguards, and the girl opened the box to find that it was the duel plate that the seahorse was intended to use as a trump card.
"I remind you from a more neutral point of view, the last child of the Seahorse family ......," the middle-aged man looked at her gray face with some unbearable. The seahorse intends to use this to seal part of the master's power, as you have already seen...... He failed. ”
"The master will not let this kind of thing control him at all, because the situation has been controlled by the master from the beginning to the present."
"And now, it's in your hands. I advise you...... Don't take it too seriously. ”
"At first I didn't agree with the owner giving it back to you...... This kind of thing should not be borne by you children in the first place...... That meant the complete destruction of the Seahorse family. ”
"That's all there is to it......" The middle-aged man shook his head and turned to walk through the door.
"You'd better not try to make up the last star...... Best ......"
Listening to the sound of the door closing, Li Bai raised his right hand and looked at his glove wristband.
There were 10 Stars there, but now there are only 9 left.
Why are you so troubled...... Li Bai smiled bitterly in his heart.
There is no doubt that Seahorse was afraid that she would still plan to enter the city when she woke up, so he removed a star from her wristband. At this point in time, most of the duelists have already lost their qualifications, and the duelists who will rush here should also be the ones who have collected 10 stars.
The former has no way to duel, and the latter has no need to duel, and it is really difficult for her to get the number of 10 more to get the qualification to enter the city.
Seahorse saw this very thoroughly, so he only took off the girl's star.
As long as she can't get into the city, it's enough...... In a sense, he had the same thoughts as the middle-aged housekeeper, and he didn't want the worst.
Didn't he already promise me to carry the darkness with me......
Didn't he promise not to be alone again......
Tears fell on the suitcase one by one, and the girl's heart even had an inexplicable hatred for a moment.
"White ...... You okay? Honda was a little helpless, and now he could only pat her on the shoulder, and then just comfort her like this.
Neither he nor Apricot could have imagined that the seahorse would have such a side...... In order to protect his family, he went to a bureau where he was almost certain to die.
"I know what my brother means...... I also know that he has good intentions. Li Bai stood up with his suitcase
"Apricot, Honda...... Have you ever heard that? ”
"More than 50 percent of the world's disasters are caused by people's good intentions."
"I used to agree with that, but now I think it's wrong—"
"Fifty percent is incorrect, it should be more than 80 percent to be ......"
"And knowing this, we can't help it...... There's no way not to do it, not to exert this kindness...... Because then the world, and society, will collapse completely. ”
“…… That's the fuck hard. ”
You need to fix this part of the plot and take on the role of the original Seahorse Seto to defeat Muto in front of the city gate.
Failure Penalty: None.
This was the task she was given when she got the suitcase. Sure enough...... The mandatory task is still coming after all.
“…… Good a 'failure penalty none'. ”
The system is really good at playing, knowing that she has no way out and can still send out such a task.
Li Bai sat on the battlements of the city wall, letting the cool evening breeze dry the tears on his face.
Kyoko and Honda couldn't persuade her, and in the face of this complicated situation, the two high school students really didn't know what to do, they discussed it for a while, or decided to go to the exit that Li Bai said first and wait for them to play, maybe there would be a way at that time, right?
"Are you really sure you want to do this......?" The lion wizard floats in front of the maiden and looks into her eyes.
"Or else...... What else could I do? Li Bai's face was blank, she didn't plan to do this...... But now both the system and reality are forcing her.
She had no other choice.
"I have to compliment you...... Li Bai, your previous choice was correct. The lion wizard spewed out two white gases again, it was useless to say anything at this time, it understood this, so it didn't persuade anything more, "The soul scale is a crucial attribute, but I want to remind you here: don't let it fall below the lower limit of 30 points." ”
“…… What if it falls below? ”
"So it fell below the ...... Then I'm afraid this world will be over......"
"Poof-" Li Bai sneered, "I know you're trying to comfort me, stinky lion...... But can you not tell such a bad joke with a serious expression? ”
"I didn't—forget it, you can't listen to it right now." The lion wizard is angry, and it is rare that it kindly takes the initiative to confide something, but the other party doesn't believe it?
"Anyway, you just need to remember that something terrible will happen if the soul scale falls below 30!"
"How scary?"
"You're going to die!"
The cold wind blew, and the maiden and the elf on the city wall were speechless for a while.
Li Bai turned his head to look at the swaying tree tops under the city wall and sighed softly.
"Okay...... I know. ”
"Thank you, lion ......" the girl jumped from the battlements of the city wall, having already made up her mind anyway...... It's really out of control.
"Open the Altar of Light!"
……
……
It took a bit of thought to play here and in the castle, and finally defeated the maze brothers at the end of the cave.
"Whew! It's a great feeling to be back on the ground! The castle sprang out of the ground and stretched widely.
"You see, the game is Becas City ahead, and now that we have enough stars, we can definitely go directly to the city!"
"Hmm." The game responded, and a hint of relief appeared on his face, this underground journey is not easy, and it is naturally best to be able to rush to the destination as soon as it comes out.
"Yo! Apricot! And Honda! When Jonai saw two good friends sitting on the edge of the steps, he immediately ran up to greet him, "I said we'd be fine!?" How about a look? That's 10 stars here! ”
"Ah...... That's pretty impressive...... Castle ......," the two replied lifelessly.
"What's wrong with everyone?" The game wonders if the atmosphere between friends is wrong, "Did something happen?" ”
"This ......" Honda and Kyoko looked at each other helplessly.
It's really hard for them to say.
"It's hard to say now." Kyoko was a little sad and flashed away from the city's gaze, "Anyway, let's go up first...... I'll understand when I get to the city walls. ”
The two of them are a little confused about the situation at this time, but it seems that it is not a good way to ask hard.
"It seems like a lot of trouble...... Let's go up first, inside the city. "The game makes the decision first." Believe me...... There's always a way! ”
It's just a waste of time.
The group walked up the long staircase to the city wall, and as they walked, they watched the sunset on the horizon.
It's past 5 o'clock, and it's been less than an hour before the end of time.
I don't know if anyone has already entered the city......
"Wait a minute?" A voice in the castle interrupted his train of thought, and he pointed upward, his face a little solemn. "Game, look over there! The top of the city wall is there! ”
Most of the stone steps were gone, but they noticed that there seemed to be a man standing at the top of the stone steps.
The light brown trench coat swayed in the air, the long curly white hair fluttered in the gale, and the standard red eyes—the girl at the top of the stone steps seemed to be ......
"White?" The game looked at her dumbfoundedly.
"Hurry up." Li Bai opened his blood-red eyes, which were a little dim.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time......"
"Games."
