Chapter 309: Defender of Order
Lin Xun tried his best, brushed away the slime on the ground, and came to the wall where the portrait of the sunflower used to be hung.
As he guessed, the painting was gone, and the walls were sticky and disgusting, but there were still a few holes left in the walls.
The number of holes is no more, no less, exactly ten!
He stretched out his hands, pressed his fingers into the hole, and with a slight twist, he heard the click of a tower at the fence, and the fence rose high, and all changes stopped in an instant.
At this time, Lin Xun's skin had mostly turned green, and he had almost become a jelly man.
"Even if I solved the puzzle in the hall on the first floor, it didn't restore me to my original state."
Lin Xun looked at his green hands helplessly, shook his head and sighed.
Although the melting mode of the entire house had completely stopped, the house had not returned to its original state, and after a little consideration, Lin Xun held the black light sword in his hand, brushed away the gradually hardening slime, and went to the direction of the second floor.
The corridor was very dark, and there was not even a little light, if it weren't for the black lightsaber with its own light effect, Lin Xun would probably be afraid.
"After all, is there really anyone in this world who can completely eliminate self-fear? Even if I am a veteran dreadnophob, I dare not say that in such an environment, the SAN value will remain silent. ”
Of course, Lin Xun's SAN value is indeed fluctuating, but in fact, he has never fallen below the passing line, and he has always been calm.
Soon, Lin Xun walked to the platform on the second floor.
What he didn't expect was that there was no room on the second floor, only a large and empty round platform, a place similar to a stage, with no reserved auditorium, no lights and no audience, only a skeleton lying on the ground.
There was a portrait left next to the skeleton, Lin Xun took a cursory look, the protagonist of the portrait was a well-dressed woman, she wore a pink top hat, wearing a heavy and gorgeous dress, her appearance was not good-looking, but absolutely dignified.
For some reason, after seeing this portrait, Lin Xun suddenly thought of the portrait on the second floor of his fortress.
"Judging by the costumes, these two people seem to be characters from the same period. However, looking at the appearance of this skeleton, it does not seem to be a pure human, after all, it has a tail. ”
The two skeletons upstairs and downstairs brought Lin Xun full of confusion.
"From the outside, it doesn't seem like there's a third floor here, which means it's already at the top."
Now that it's at the top, there should be a hint about the exchange of materials, right?
At this time, Lin Xun suddenly heard an ethereal voice.
"Flowers of hope often bloom in desperate lands, and if you want to get hope, you have to pay a huge price. Young traveler, if you want to have any hope of life, you must tear apart the hope of others with your own hands. ”
"Right now, you have two options."
"Kill your inhabitants or your friends, make your choice."
This ghost-sounding female voice gave Lin Xun a very difficult multiple-choice question.
At this time, two images appeared in Lin Xun's mind: one was the South Gate who was struggling in the quagmire, and the other was Arnold's team besieged by the beast herd.
The female voice added: "The souls I have captured will be imprisoned here by me, and there is no possibility of resurrection. ”
Lin Xun nodded and smiled meaningfully.
"You also specially added such a sentence, obviously you want me to sacrifice Arnold's teammates to save Miss Nanmen, right? Hehe, your purpose is too obvious, those four people in Arnold's team...... Probably not a simple wanderer from another world, right? ”
The ethereal female voice also made no secret of it, and said directly: "Those four people have souls of the same texture as you in their bodies, in short, they are from the same world as you. ”
Lin Xun put away his smile and said seriously, "You mean, they are also players in the Nightmare Realm?" ”
"I could feel their bodies falling asleep.
In this state, they may be able to wake up, or they may never wake up again.
There is a disorder in your world, and their souls are forced to wander, and there are not a few souls who have fallen into my world, and they are just four of them. ”
Disorderly disorder?
Lin Xun immediately thought of the Heavenly Dao Lord and the son of the Human King, the Nightmare Tower, and the destroyed Dream Tree. It is the symbol of order in the Nightmare Realm, an ancient and imperfect order that has completely collapsed due to the confrontation of the players, and is now in a state of chaos.
Whether it is the players who are caught up in the quest of the Savage Sandbank, or the natives of the other world, they have all fallen victim to the Honkai order. As you can imagine, those players who never wake up after the mission, their consciousness drifts around with the cracks in the other dimension, the lucky ones can wake up, and the unfortunate ones may have to spend their lives in a hospital bed.
Of course, Lin Xun knew in his heart that the number of players among the victims was definitely in the minority, after all, the game system's protection of players was still very strong, and more drifters should be the natives of the Nightmare Country.
What Lin Xun didn't expect was that his original insistence would bring such terrible consequences and implicate so many innocents.
For a moment, he even felt that he might have done something wrong.
"If I had surrendered to the son of the king of men at that time, and assisted him in opening the purification and upholding the rules of the great world, perhaps, the sacrifice would have been smaller, right? No...... There are enough corpses under the old rules, so why should I sacrifice myself to defend such rules? Thinking of this, Lin Xun secretly clenched his fists.
He has come this far in his own strength and in the hopes of all, and now, he must not waver!
The female voice added, "Obviously, you have made a big mistake. You have taken away the hope of order and have to take on the corresponding responsibilities, but you do not seem to be ready to become the maker of the world order.
I have no intention of targeting you, it's just that you've broken into my world, and you're threatening my order.
A saboteur like you, I should have eliminated you the moment I sensed you, but alas, there seems to be some unknown force standing behind you, and they are hindering me again and again.
Fortunately, you still fell into my hands after all, bound by my rules.
Maybe you've already guessed who I am, I'm the ruler of this wild world.
Young traveler, make a choice, your choice will determine their life and death, and likewise my attitude towards you.
It's raw,.
is dead,
Make a decision. ”
