Chapter 2: The Chosen and the Betrayal

Unscientific?

Perhaps.

There is a good saying: to exist is to be reasonable.

No matter how incredible it is, no matter how unreasonable it is, since it has happened, there must be a reason for it, and you think it is unscientific, it is just because your understanding of the world is not deep enough.

After the initial shock, Gu Mou slowly calmed down, and he raised his eyes to look at the environment he was in...... Well, in fact, there is nothing to look at, the empty square, the impenetrable fog of the eye, the only attraction is the high platform in the center of the square.

Standing stupidly in place is not a solution, even if there are many doubts in his heart, Gu Mou can only carefully pay attention to the movements around him, while moving his steps towards the high platform little by little. However, in just two or three hundred meters, it took him a full twenty minutes, and in this process, Gu Mou's attention was mostly on the fog outside the square.

The unknown is the most frightening, who knows what is going on in the fog, maybe suddenly a monster will pop out.

In fact, even if a monster jumped out of the fog, Gu Mou now had no way to deal with it.

Fortunately, the worst didn't happen, until Gu Mou came to the steps of the high platform, the surroundings were still very calm, not to mention that the monster didn't even make a strange noise.

The absence of movement at this time is probably the best news.

After comforting himself in his heart, Gu Mou hesitated for a few seconds before taking a step and walking up the steps to the top of the high platform. While walking, Gu Mou silently counted: "One, two, three...... Fifty, fifty-one,...... Ninety-nine. ”

There are a total of ninety-nine steps on the high platform.

Nine is the extreme, with ninety-nine as the number, this platform doesn't seem to be so simple, but you can't stand on it in a hurry.

Gu Mou stood on the last step of the high platform, only to see that the platform was a ten-meter square platform, and it was empty, as if there was nothing in the square below. If there is a difference, it is that the color of this small platform on the high platform is very different from the color of the square floor, it is white, pale white. If it were someone else, they might just stand on the platform at the top of the platform to see the other side of the platform.

However, Gu Mou did not.

He took out his phone from his pocket, crouched down and opened a video downloaded from his phone to pass the time, and waited for another two minutes after turning the volume up to the top of the platform, then he put the bottom of the phone flat on the ground at the top of the platform and pushed it hard.

The screen of the mobile phone reflected the image of the figure shaking, and Mai Li turned on the volume to play a noisy voice, and the bottom end of the platform made a clattering sound as it rubbed against the ground of the platform, and quickly slid from one end of the platform to the other.

Gu Mou just kept a half-squatting posture and looked at his mobile phone, to be precise, he was looking at the small platform at the top of the high platform, and he was engrossed, not letting go of the slightest change on it.

Too careful?

Bring sand to the beach?

Gu Mou didn't think so, such a strange thing happened to him, no matter how careful he was, he couldn't be too careful.

This mobile phone was bought by Gu Mou four years ago, and at that time, its configuration could only be regarded as average, let alone now, whenever the video is turned on, it will become hot in a very short time. If this happens, the four elements of heat, weight, image, sound, and all come alive, and if there is really something that needs to be triggered, there is a more than 80% chance that it will try it out. The remaining two percent,That is, the problem of quantity,Anyway, there is still a gap between mobile phones and people in these four elements。

At first, the platform didn't change in the slightest, but when the phone slid to the center of the small platform, the scene on the platform changed suddenly.

"Ah......h

With the endless bitter wail of unwillingness and resentment, a human skeleton appeared so suddenly in the center of the high platform, startling Gu Mou.

Apparently there was nothing in that place in the last second.

After taking a closer look, Gu Mou found that the mobile phone he had thrown out to test it had hit the skull of the human skeleton, and the impact force knocked the head of the skeleton of the unknown person away. From the hollow eye sockets of the skull, a translucent figure appeared, and a terrible wail came from his mouth.

Ghost?

Wraiths?

Or something else?

Gu Mou didn't know, he only knew that his prudence saved him once.

The reason why I say this is because at the same time that the skeleton in the center of the platform appeared, this high platform also changed, showing its original appearance under the cover of some kind of power in front of Gu Mou's eyes.

Where is this empty high platform, it is clearly an altar.

Sacrifice, sacrifice of sacrifice.

If I had walked up stupidly just now, it would not have been the suspected ghost thing that was screaming now, but myself.

Although it was just speculation, Gu Mou felt that it was not far from the truth.

Almost yin.

Wiping a cold sweat, Gu Mou said secretly: It's dangerous.

The mournful wail lasted for ten seconds before ceased as the translucent figure dissipated, and at the same time, the human skeleton in the center of the platform was like a snowflake under the scorching sun, melting and dissolving at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Before Gu Mou could react to this, a voice sounded in his head.

"You eliminated Lesromance."

"You've passed the trial of the Chosen One, and now you can use the Chosen Seal."

"You slain the traitor Leslomanke through a sacrifice, and you earn the achievement: Soul Executor."

Les Romanque?

Crooked nuts?

Well, that's not what Gu Mou should be focusing on right now.

What is the Chosen One?

What is the Chosen Seal?

What about the manner of sacrifice and the achievement of the Soul Executor?

Most importantly, where did this voice in your head come from?

A series of questions surfaced in Gu Mou's heart.

The tattoo on the index finger of his left hand, which had been turned into a thimble that could not be removed, was slightly hot, and a message came into Gu Mou's mind.

Les Romanc was the name of the skeleton in the center of the altar, and this guy was the previous owner of the Chosen Seal, and the Chosen One was the owner of the Chosen Seal. In Gu Mou's understanding, the Chosen One can be rewarded by the will of the world by completing tasks in a similar way, so that he can be strengthened in some way, and then have a power that is far greater than others. If Gu Mou's understanding is correct, the essence of the Chosen One is actually the protector of the Earth's World Will through the random distribution of props, and their main responsibility is to maintain the order of the world and let the Earth run according to the trajectory approved by the World Will, and the Chosen Seal is a tool for communication between the two.

That is, this is similar to the role of the Guardian of the World.

Isn't defending the world you live in the same way as preserving the environment in which you live?

If even their own living environment is destroyed, can the people in it still be good?

From this point of view, the former Chosen One, Lese Romanke, has no reason to betray.

Could it be that this man named Les Romanke has a brain pump, or is it that his mentality swelled after he got great power and he blew himself up with a bang?

Gu Mou noticed a word - the will of the world recognizes.

That's what it says.

Since standing at the peak of the earth's food chain and becoming the absolute hegemon of the earth's biological chain, human beings have habitually classified the earth as their own territory and regarded themselves as the masters of the earth. Therefore, after he knew that the duty of the Chosen One was to maintain the order of the world, his first reaction was to equate it with maintaining the order of mankind and protecting the living environment of mankind.

However, is this really the case?

Not to mention the ancient dragons and phoenixes in myths and legends, and not to mention the ancient times when demons ruled the heavens and the earth, just from the discovery of modern human beings, we can know that the absolute overlord of the earth is not human beings from the beginning, for example, human beings have learned that dinosaurs once ruled the earth much earlier than humans, and it is much longer.

Under the trajectory recognized by the world consciousness, human beings are the current overlords of the earth, if the will of the world does not recognize, will it be like the extinction of the dinosaurs to make an irresistible natural disaster to wipe out mankind. After all, the earth was born for 4.5 billion years and how long humans have only been around, and there are too many unknowns for human beings even if they live in their own home. However, inferred from the fact that the previous Chosen One, Leslomanke, became a betrayer, Gu Mou already had the answer in his heart - maybe Less Romanke made such a seemingly brain-pumping choice because he made some amazing discoveries.

Of course, these are not what Gu Mou should consider at the moment. Les Romanke got a strong force from the mission reward of the Chosen One to have the capital of betrayal, and now Gu Mou has not received any benefits, an ordinary person, thinking too much is not a good thing for him. What Gu Mou has to do now is to get the benefits given by the will of the world after becoming the Chosen One, and receive the legacy of Les Romanke.
