One hundred and twenty-four chapters

The secret passage winds its way down in a circle, and then extends into an inexplicable distance in the middle.

Every seven steps on the walls of the secret passage are lamps made of unknown materials that emit a cold and eerie green light. The information that retrieves the feedback from the skill in the eyes is only five meaningless words of "unknown lamp".

Ning Yuan, who was barefoot, walked on the steps with dim light and cold breath, and made a slight "click" sound, but it was such a slight sound, and in this quiet, far-reaching passage that emitted a strange aura, it seemed to be invisibly amplified, and it spread into the distance. Let the heart of the person walking on the steps shrink a little unconsciously.

After walking for about 10 minutes, Ning Yuan inexplicably felt that his body seemed to be a little chilly.

After frowning and stopping, I checked the people panel but everything was normal, and there was no prompt on the log.

The feeling of chills in the body is real. Just by stopping to check for a while, Ning Yuan's feeling of chills all over his body had become more and more intense. And it is obvious that this cold is coming from the inside out.

"I think this secret passage is supposed to be safe, right?" Ning Yuan muttered to himself and began to recall in his mind the memories of this secret passage in the realm line.

When he really began to reminisce, Ning Yuan's face suddenly changed. He couldn't recall any details in his mind except for the impression that the secret passage was spiraling down and going to an inexplicable distance, and the notion that the secret passage was safe. Whether it is the memory of "him" on the boundary line about this secret passage, or the memory of walking through this secret passage as "him" in a dream. Except for the general trend and the two inherent concepts of the channel is not dangerous, there is no detailed memory.

The ability of "Yesterday Dusk" was already ineffective before it was fully activated. How can it be reproduced without specific memories? But whether it was "him" on the realm line or his dream memory, he clearly told Ning Yuan that he had walked through this secret passage, and he should have a memory of this secret passage.

However, he now has no memories in his memory that he should have. It's as if the memories of the two realms of "Ning Yuan" about the secret path have been erased by some unknown and unpredictable existence. It's just that for the coherence of memory, the two concepts of trend and safety are deliberately left, or specially filled into the memory.

But is it possible to do such a thing? If it was the Age of Mythology or the Age of Qi Cultivation, Ning Yuan believed that there were many existences that could do it. Even in the age of cultivation, there may be very few existences that can do so. But now it is the fourth era, the era of qi refining technology that has developed from the afterglow of refining and cultivation.

In this era of near-end law, not to mention the incredible existence of silently erasing someone's specific memory, it is impossible to erase the memory in front of you. Even the basic cultivation methods left over from the cultivation era were very few that could be successfully modified with the current Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

("No. Maybe there is a way to erase memories or exist. Ning Yuan, who had barely calmed down in extreme panic, thought silently: ("There may be some Qi refining scientific and technological achievements in the coalition government that can achieve the effect of erasing memories, some Huangsheng with awakening abilities may also have the ability to erase memories, and there are some great or terrifying existences left over from the era of cultivation. ”)

("Qi refining technology can rule out that items in reality cannot be brought into the Void, let alone the Void Game World; The Awakening ability can also be basically ruled out, and some of the traps in the maze are one-off, and there are no repeated triggers. And it is impossible not to have a trace at all, unless the system has been refreshed. But is it possible? ”)

("The memory of this lineage should be disposable.") Unless 'I' preached it on my own in the later stage, and then a certain Huangsheng with similar abilities to me saw some strategies or records and memorized them meticulously. But this is too unlikely. That is, the ability to awaken and erase memories and have the ability to preserve memories for a long time may exist, but this probability is too low, and the probability of having the memory here is infinitely tending to zero. With my personality, it's unlikely that I'll be able to get the word out about here. ”)

("Then there's only one possibility.") A certain existence left over from the era of cultivation. Ning Yuan looked up a little unnaturally, as if he was looking through the barrier of the mountain wall to some unknown place. It is the center of the entire Void, and the most magnificent palace complex in the entire Void :("Ruin Master! ”)

The Void Realm is a treasure left over from the Cultivation Era that has both space attributes and soul attributes, and it is rumored that the Void Realm may come from a much more distant past, perhaps from the Qi Cultivation Era or the Ancient Mythology Era. That's why it has a terrifying power that people can't understand. Until now, it has only been known that the Void has the ability to capture souls and evolve the Illusory World.

The Lord of the Ruins is the spirit or master of this strange treasure in the Void Realm. Everything in the void can change at will with the will of the ruin master, and it can be said that the ruin master is the creator god in the void.

Therefore, if the ruin master could erase a person's memory or tamper with a person's memory in the void realm, Ning Yuan would not feel any surprise or surprise.

Some people may wonder why they know that the Void and the Ruins are at risk of nearing destruction and dominating the stars and the creatures, but still establish a link with each other to enter the Void.

In fact, the star beings do not have the right to choose in front of the ruin lord.

The Void itself has the ability to collect souls, and when the Star Scientists activate the Void, everything is irreparable. At least in the realm where Ning Yuan was located and the other realms that had chosen to activate the Void Realm, they had inevitably established contact with the Ruin Lord.

From the moment the Void was activated, the Lord of the Ruins was not only the master of the Void, but also the Lord of the Stars. For he can be said to be the "god" of this world. Under the will of God, all the creatures of the stars are unable to resist.

Fortunately, at least for more than 200 years since the appearance of the Void Realm, the owner of the ruins can be regarded as a good god. It not only greatly improved the scientific and technological level of the stars, but also completely eliminated the war in reality, completed the global unification of the stars, and allowed all the intelligent beings of the stars to gain peace and prosperity. While the gap between rich and poor and a certain degree of racial discrimination persist, no one will ever feel that they will not survive. Therefore, almost all the intelligent beings of the stars are grateful and worship the ruin master, especially the suffering race like the Yu people.

And the ruins who have advanced the stars as a whole to the era of virtual technology for refining qi have allowed the stars and races to still maintain the bloody genes of violence, killing and aggressiveness, so that all intelligent beings have a place to vent without worrying about the danger of their lives - the "virtual game world".

For the creatures of the stars, there is nothing unsatisfactory about the stars under the lord of the ruins.

After determining that it should be the ruin lord who made the move, or that the ruin lord gave the "Regeneration" world system the ability to erase memories, Ning Yuan basically settled down and began to think about the reason why his memories would be erased.

It is important to know that the system will never do anything like erasing a player's memory without a specific reason. This is true even if the player is a Huang Sheng, who has special abilities.

("So, there must be some special reason to do this.") Ning Yuan rubbed his hands together and tried to resist the growing chill, while his brain was running at great speed: ("The Regeneration Continent is a testing ground for the regeneration of new races between the Ruins Lord and the Stars Coalition Government. If there is no mistake, the new race has basically met the basic conditions for incarnation into the real world. That is, to have an independent soul. The realistic gas refining technology reserve should also have the conditions to realize metamorphosis, otherwise it would not deliberately transform such a world from the ruins. ”)

("The question now is which are the races that the Lord of the Runs is preparing to incarnate?") Is it all 13 native races of the Neno continent, or a few of them。。。。。。 Neither? ”)

("And does the incarnate race have anything to do with my erasure of my memories?") Or is it just a gameplay setting? Or, rehearsal? ”)

("My dad seems to have reminded me not to be reincarnated too many times, is it possible that the number of reincarnations will trigger the loss of memory?") ”)

("Wait, that doesn't seem to have anything to do with my current situation?") Don't think differently! Don't diverge! ”)

("I have never died, and I have been deliberately erased from my memory of the secret passages.") With the ability of the ruin lord, this is more like some kind of hint? ”)

("Wait, what did I seem to have in mind?") The incarnate race . . . All... Several... Or neither? ”)

("By the way, neither the background materials and guidebooks of Rebirth nor the memories of the Realm Line clearly state that there are only 18 intelligent races in the Neno Continent?") Other words.... ”)

"Could there be other sapient races? Just like the hidden classes in other Void games, there are one or more hidden races in this world? And the reason why my memory was erased is because this secret passage may contain a clue to some hidden race? As the speculation advanced, Ning Yuan unconsciously muttered his guess: "And the hidden race may be the real metamorphic race, at least in the choice of the metamorphic race." ”

Speculating at this step, Ning Yuan's eyes widened unconsciously, and the murmuring voice became louder, and then the whole person fell into a state of doubt and uncertainty. The movement that had resisted the chill also stopped stiffly.

When Ning Yuan calmed down a little, he unexpectedly found that the chill that seemed to have been deepening stabilized after reaching a certain peak, although the whole body was cold and shivered unconsciously, but the coldness of the whole body seemed to be really constant to a certain extent.

Then the prompt finally appears on the player's log:

"For some unknown reason, the player enters a deep cold state: all stats are reduced by 50%."

"Unknown cause?" Ning Yuan frowned after checking the log and character panels, "Whether my guess is nonsense or not, there is something in this secret passage that is certain. ”

Ning Yuan controlled his trembling body and continued to walk down the steps of the secret passage with some staggering, carefully observing everything around him, such as the walls, the zenith, and the steps.

After holding on to the wall and trembling slightly for about 5 minutes, Ning Yuan finally noticed a trace of disobedience in the same passage.

A smooth stone passage that had been maintained at a height of about 3 meters appeared on the ceiling with a bead that had been wedged into the center of a stone ceiling.

The beads are about 3 centimeters in diameter, and their color is transparent with a dark blue mist. In this whole shrouded in a gloomy green environment, if it wasn't for Ning Yuan's conscious exploration, it would really not be easy to find.

Although Ning Yuan didn't feel the change in the coldness on his body, he still consciously thought that the coldness on his body was definitely related to the beads on the zenith. This near-prophetic instinct comes from what he's been through since he awakened to Huang Sheng at the age of six.

"Whew!" After exhaling a long breath, Ning Yuan climbed up with his bare feet on the wall in the not wide secret passage, and cut off the not-so-firm beads that had been firmly inserted without any obstacles.

When the bead was held in his hand, Ning Yuan first felt a chill stronger than his body, and then the chill on his body seemed to flow into the bead along his arm and the stronger chill. Ning Yuan's body returned to its normal state almost in an instant. The properties in the People panel also returned to normal at the same time.

After all the chill flowed into the beads, the surface of the mist-like beads, which had been felt to the bone, became slightly cooler. It's like a normal stone.

"Unknown Beads: Beads that appear to contain mist. Effect: Unknown. ”

Looking at the information fed back by the retrieval skill, Ning Yuan's eyebrows lifted: "It's almost the same as when I first discovered the dragon blood flower, but I finally fed back a little useless information." In other words, the bead should not be outside the scope of high-grade items. ”

After looking at the beads for a while, Ning Yuan put them into the Kun bag. After resting and relaxing for a while, he continued to walk down the stone steps towards the depths of the secret passage, while still paying close attention to everything around him.

As Ning Yuan took off the crystal ball, the system's prompt sound also sounded:

"Congratulations to the player for obtaining the 'Source of Ice' and the achievement 'Ice Warden'."

"Players have been given the mandatory quest 'Mystery of Ice', please check the log for specific instructions."

"Congratulations to players for gaining primary access to Regeneration. Players can unlock primary access content after obtaining Level 1 access. ”

Ning Yuan ignored the system's prompts for the time being, but carefully observed the human figure in the crystal ball while searching for the archived memories in his mind.

The palm-sized ice-blue crystal ball was smooth and crystal clear, but the curled figure was shrouded in a misty shadow. However, the general physical characteristics can still be distinguished.

The body structure and physical characteristics of the humanoid look nine points similar to that of humans, and the skin seems to be off-white, because of the mist, Ning Yuan is a little uncertain. There are only two distinctions that Ning Yuan can clearly observe from the human race: one is that there is a row of four ice blue narrow diamond-shaped ice flake-like marks on each of the cheeks of the humanoid; One is the human figure's exposed forehead, with a bead in the center that resembles a third eye.

If Ning Yuan was not mistaken, this bead seemed to be the same thing as the "unknown orb" he had obtained earlier. In other words, the 9 "Unknown Beads" are the third "eye" of the humanoid in the 9 crystal balls.

"Source of Ice: One of the components of the combined spirit. Collect the remaining 8 'Ice Condensation Sources' to form the spiritual artifact 'Ice Condensation Ancestral Land'. Full Artifact Effect: Unknown. Effect of this part: Placed in a City Altar to recruit a 'Frost Clan' sacrifice every 30 days. ”

The moment he saw the attributes, Ning Yuan only felt that his head was confused: "Spirit object?!" How can it be? ”
