Chapter 921: The Hunter
The footsteps of the five walked on the white earth full of death.
Of course, it is said that there are five people, but in fact, it should be four people following a large mecha, and the earth is indeed not white, because as they march, a wide black scar is also constantly extending.
The air was scorching all around.
"I really don't understand." Militus followed behind the Ember of Steam piloted by Elise, and reached into the air, touching a handful of black smoke that spread through the air, "Why did the people below spend such a large battle to lay this floor like this?" ”
"Even if you said earlier that the purpose of this level is to cut off the upper and lower levels, what if the lower levels want to go to the upper levels, just as they invaded before? Doesn't that mean blocking their way up? ”
Militus frowned and fixed his gaze on the Ember of Steam in front of him.
"That's the question." Elise replied as she manipulated the Ember of Steam to spew flames, "Not even the Sea of Souls can answer you, so I can't give you an answer. ”
"Still. Elise continued, "Since they are able to come to the surface and take down our Divine Dwelling Land in an instant, it means that these flowerbeds do not form an obstacle to them." ”
"That is, these flower beds may not be indiscriminate?" Lubrom pondered and said.
"There is no difference or something...... It's a possibility. Elise thought for a moment and said, "But isn't there any other possibility beyond that?" ”
"Other...... Possibility? Militus paused, looked up at the head of the Ember of Vapor and asked, "You mean ......?" ”
"I mean, these flowers are probably indiscriminate, just because those lower abyssal demons have a way to get to the upper level without touching these flowers." Elise said as she walked forward.
"But, how?" Militus asked again.
"I don't know." Elise shook her head, "I'm afraid we'll only have to wait until we reach the passage to the third level. ”
……
Before the young man took on his current job, he actually had another part-time job.
Although his main job is a programmer and an engineer, there are not many people who can be used in the Japanese branch, so it is natural for him to take on a few more jobs and get multiple salaries in his spare time.
And one of these part-time jobs is law enforcement.
Remember what you said at the beginning?
When an AI is removed from the system's management and becomes an ownerless being roaming the game, it is judged to be a geist and will be retrieved by the enforcers.
Because of the identity of the player, even if his core is still AI, he will not be judged as a geist, but Elise is different.
Elise has always been an NPC.
When she was still alive, she was affiliated with Gear City, under the management of the game, and was an AI that was 'within the establishment'.
And when she dies and becomes an electronic ghost, she gains the status of a subordinate of the Edge Night, and belongs to the player of the Edge Night.
But now, since she broke out of the body of the edge of the long night because of the bug that Xie Yan created for her, she has truly become an ownerless person.
Therefore, her current identity is a geist, an out-and-out geist.
"How deep is this hole?"
The young man was still falling in the tunnel leading from the first floor to the second floor, and he couldn't help but feel a little bored with his body keeping his body vertical, so he asked casually.
"It's still being measured." The kettle demon replied, "In fact, sir, the length of the passage between each layer of the abyss should not be shorter than the one at the beginning. ”
"That's a terrible thing." When the young man heard this, his face couldn't help but become a little ugly, "I had brought my PFP here if I knew it." ”
PFP is a portable game console that is on sale in the market, and it is also an indispensable thing in the lives of young people.
"Isn't your Monster Hunter XXXXL Portable Edition finished yet?" The pot demon knew about the entertainment life of young people, so he asked with concern.
"How could that kind of game be finished?" The young man shook his head, "I just hit the G position, it's still early." ”
Although the kettle demon didn't quite understand what the game mechanics of Monster Hunter were, by observing the young man's expression and tone, he could probably guess that this was not a fast food game.
Also, its owner was not a fast-food person in the first place, otherwise he would not have followed him so respectfully.
"Ah, the distance to the second layer has been detected." Just as the pot demon was watching the young man think, the detection signal sent out just now had also been transmitted.
"How far is it?" This seems to be the primary concern of young people at the moment.
"I'll take ......a look," the pot demon said slowly, interpreting the message back, "If you look at the speed at which you are falling now, it will take about three minutes for you to land." ”
"Three minutes?!" The young man's face became even more ugly, "I've been falling for at least ten minutes, and I'm going to let me fall for another three minutes?!" ”
"Sir, calm down." The pot demon persuaded him, "After all, this is the Abyss Realm, and you can't consider it from the common sense of the Upper Realm, just think that you are traversing the entire game continent." ”
When the young man heard this, he thought about it, and it was right.
After all, the land of the terrestrial realm is dominated by breadth and extends over a large area within a plane, while the abyssal realm is dominated by depth and extends greatly within a vertical range.
So he just used the time he spent flying on the ground for the fall.
When I think about it this way, the young man is also relieved.
"Okay, okay." The young man closed his eyes slightly, "When it's almost time, please wake me up, I'll take a nap first." ”
"But it's okay if you don't scream." After saying what he had just said, the young man added, "After all, the current fall damage value is 0 for me, so even if it is planted on the ground like this, nothing will happen." ”
"But I think it's better to call you, sir." The kettle demon replied in a worried and respectful tone, "After all, no one knows what the next floor will be like now, does it?" ”
“Zzzzz……”
The young man was already asleep.
