Not long after he first came into contact with the game, Lin Chi used to look at the flickering images on the computer screen, trying to imagine the mental journey of the characters in the game. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At that time, the "brain imaging game" did not exist. Lin Chi also knew that the characters in the game were nothing more than "machines" composed of fictitious data and modeling, and it was impossible for them to have any consciousness and feeling at all.

But he still occasionally considers some "philosophical questions" that may seem boring to the average player:

――How would the boss in the game feel if he knew in advance that he was destined to be killed by the player?

Today, Lin Chi finally got the answer to this question.

Struggled to climb the cliff, stood up and patted the dust on his armor. Lin Chi looked at the woman standing on the other side of the street, who had just executed his subordinates.

Looking at the tears in the corners of the empress's eyes, Lin Chi immediately determined that she and the doll shop owner were not the same person, after all, no matter how sad the puppet was, it would not be able to shed even a single tear.

"Don't you regret it?" He asked.

The Empress raised her head, looked at the opponent who had just been at odds with her, and slowly shook her head.

The two of them, who had fought to the death before, now did not make a move with a tacit understanding, standing silently on the cliff, maintaining a delicate and fragile balance.

Lin Chi was about to speak, only to hear the empress finally speak again, with a little sadness and determination in her voice:

"Barbarian, you're here to kill me?"

Lin Chi nodded honestly, and then suddenly changed his words: "But I'm not a barbarian, and I don't necessarily have to kill you." ”

If it is an ordinary player, in the face of the temptation of legendary equipment, I am afraid that it will rush forward and continue the war. Lin Chi didn't do this, but put away his weapon and took a step back:

"Can you tell me your story?" He said.

He's more interested in the game's NPCs than gear, and besides, Paradise of War isn't your average game.

"Ha ......"

Hearing his words, the empress of the city suddenly burst out laughing:

"Since you want to hear it...... Then I'll tell you. ”

――There are not many players who care about the backstory of the boss they killed, and in this impetuous era, most people just take the loot and leave, even if the cutscene or plot event is triggered, they just skip it.

This empress, who knows her fate, may also want to keep her story alive, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi didn't say anything, and waited silently for the other party to continue.

Under his gaze, the empress seemed to remember some good memories, and a shallow smile appeared on her face:

"I was originally the daughter of the city lord. I've been interested in traps for as long as I can remember......"

As a city converted from a military camp, the first lord of the city was the main general who led the army to conquer Greece. Even General Qin, who was revered as a martial god, was just a subordinate of the city lord back then.

Despite being the daughter of the lord of the castle and having a wealthy family, Summer Night has no interest in pleasures and luxuries. On the contrary, like a child who likes toys, he has developed a strong interest in the tricks that have been handed down from ancient times to the present.

The city lord, who dotes on his daughter very much, has always tried his best to meet her requirements, buying a large number of mechanical books and manufacturing materials for her, and even sending someone to buy a rare ancient feng shui engine from the black market as a birthday gift for his baby daughter.

Under such superior conditions, Xia Night's trick skills have also improved by leaps and bounds, and before he was ten years old, he made the first trap puppet in his own appearance, and even succeeded in making it move.

For ordinary mechanics, this kind of thing is simply a fantasy.

But Summer Night's abilities are much more than that, and the city lord soon discovers that his daughter is a rare genius in mechanical arts!

Realizing that his daughter's talent was extraordinary, the city lord bought a large number of mechanical materials for his daughter, and even allowed Xia Ye to transform any location in the organ city, which can be said to be extremely spoiled to her.

It's a pity that he didn't get to witness his daughter become the top mechanic, so he died in a sudden assassination with his wife.

And when Summer Night succeeded his father and became the ruler of Organ City, he was only thirteen years old......

"Then, I heard my father give me a dream to continue my research on mechanical arts." Xia Ye smiled mockingly and clenched his fists: "That dream is very detailed, the father in it seems to be alive, and I can remember everything clearly." At that time, I really thought it was my father talking to me......"

Hearing this, Lin Chi immediately understood that this woman who was set as a boss was once bewitched by the trap set by the administrator, just like the executioner in the City of Chaos.

"My father met me in my dreams more than once, and he was wearing his favorite black outfit with his usual smile on his face. He told me what to do next, and every step was amazingly detailed. Summer Night shook her head, a hint of anger in her voice.

-- Under the guidance of the "father" Tuo Meng, the girl, who was still childish, hired a machine teacher to form the "Agency Master Association", created a large number of killing machine dolls for herself, and with bloody means, eliminated those soldiers and nobles who tried to seize power, and soon became a veritable empress of the organ city!

In order to protect herself, she personally created a large number of elite puppet warriors, and at the same time began to low-key create the powerful "Four Holy Beasts", and by the way, she also made a puppet maid who looked exactly like herself, which was used as a stand-in for the assassination.

"Everything went smoothly at that time, it was unbelievably smooth, and according to the method provided by my father, no one dared to disobey me anymore."

Speaking of this, Xia Ye's brows furrowed: "But I suddenly began to wonder, is that really my father?" Moreover, this dream is so real that it is so real that it is frightening......"

Sensing that the situation was not normal, the summer night that had been acting according to the instructions of the "father" in the dream, also had some suspicions, and began to secretly install surveillance mechanisms in the palace where he lived.

The place where the two of them talk in the dream is usually in the bedroom of the summer night, and the small red paint bottle is installed on the door frame and wall of the bedroom on the summer night, and after the mechanism is activated, as long as someone steps on the ground in front of the bedroom door, no matter how light the steps are. It can also be stained with red pigment sprayed from the bottle.

Due to the very small amount of pigment, the person who is sprayed will not feel anything, but at night, the pigment will glow with a faint red light that is imperceptible, indicating the location of the intruder.

Every night before going to bed, the summer night activates the mechanism and waits for the next "dream" to come.

It wasn't until late at night, five days later, that she finally saw her father again, who was wearing the same black robe as always, with a doting smile on his vicissitudes of life.

But this time, looking at the kind father, a strong fear emerged in Xia Ye's heart:

"What's wrong?" The old city lord asked with concern, "Are you not feeling well?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

Standing in the bedroom, looking at the faint red light in his father's hair, Xia Ye resisted the urge to run away, and shook his head slowly:

"It's fine."
