Chapter 45: The Wish
Eric was very sure, but Xu Fu didn't believe it, he just smiled noncommittally, signaling that he would help him open the teleportation array, as for the outcome, it was up to fate.
"No problem."
Eric readily agreed.
A group of people descended the steps, and Eric was the first to stand on the teleportation array.
"Please start it, Mr. Xu Fu."
Everyone was stunned by his actions.
"What are you going to do Eric? Shouldn't I come to such a dangerous thing? Amath said.
"Trust me." The writer just smiled mysteriously and said to Glazer, "Mr. Glazer, if I disappear and leave the scene instantly, then you should let Mr. Kelly also stand up and think of your hometown." But if I don't leave, let's take Mr. Xu Fu out of this snowfield, and we will meet in Snow Town. β
Glazer didn't understand what he meant, but nodded and jot down the passage.
Eric glanced at Xu Fu, who connected the wire to the teleportation array, and the electric light shone, and Eric was instantly disintegrated into light dust and disappeared into the bright light.
Two seconds after the light disappeared, a line of words appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"One player leaves the field, cause of death: attack by villagers."
Everyone looked at each other, and Glazer suppressed the shock in his heart and let Kelly walk up as well.
The werewolf went up and dragged the mammoth down, its massive body squeezing the door, but surprisingly, the thick arc of electricity on the cable couldn't penetrate its fur.
Standing on the teleportation array, Kelly touched the long mane of the demi-human mammoth, looking nervous.
"But what if I don't know where my home is?"
The old mage thought for a moment and said, "Follow the depths of your heart, since you remember that the snow field is not your home, you must have an impression of the real 'home'. β
Kelly seemed to understand, and he handed the torch to Surya.
"You caught the fish, and I'll give it to you."
Then close your eyes and try to remember your hometown......
Glazer gave Xu Fu a look, and the latter activated the teleportation array.
The mammoth man was surrounded by light, and he was trying to recall the "home" in the depths of his memory.
There is also a snowy field, and there is a mountain that reaches into the sky, and at first it runs at the foot of the mountain, and the melting snow from the mountain flows down the river to the north, irrigating a grassland...... They all seem to have names, but can't remember them. The northernmost side is a steep cliff, and from the edge you can see the whole plain, where the land is fertile but occupied by other races, and it seems that it is the same race as these people in front of you......
A tearing pain came from all over his body, and when he returned to normal, Kelly opened his eyes.
In front of him was a chaotic place, unable to distinguish between the sky and the ground, with his feet as the center, the barren plateau soil in his memory was slowly generating, spreading in all directions.
He was like a Creator, standing at the center of the newborn world and watching it all come into being created from nothing.
"I'm ...... Who? β
Kelly's consciousness suddenly fell into confusion, as if a force was breaking through the ground under the thick walls of memory.
------------------
Control the hall, and as Kelly arrives in an unknown area, the light curtain reopens.
This time, the cat lady was much more panicked than before, and a series of alarms sounded.
"Blank block intrusion detected, Location: Open World"
"Detected tester memory backup invoked, Tester Halib, number 017."
"Blank block scene generation detected, model retrieved from the Kadra Plateau."
"Alert: Data breach, data sampling from the Kadra Plateau retrieved."
"Alert: Data Breach ......"
With a flash of white light, Shansi appeared in the hall, his face grimacing all the alarms, and when he reappeared, he was already in the open world on the second floor of the Pinecone Labyrinth.
Kelly, or Halib, stood right in front of him, and next to him stood Magnus. His confused eyes returned to normal, and the look in his eyes was a little complicated.
Shansi ...... My lord, it's been a long time. β
He paused behind Shans's name, as if hesitating what to use.
Shansi looked at him, and the smile that usually hung on his face did not disappear, but it looked a little bitter.
In the face of his silence, Halib smiled mockingly and continued, "Why, as the master of all this, is Lord Shans planning to erase my memory once again, as he did before? β
"I didn't!! I was just...... I just removed them and sealed them, and I didn't erase them...... Didn't erase anyone's memory......" Shance argued, hoarse at first, only getting weaker and weaker.
"Hahahaha......"
Helib seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, and tears burst into laughter.
"You know what? I remember everything now, I remember going to Lokan as one of the first testers, surviving in the Kadra Heights with the Heru people fused with beast spirits, I remember bringing them herds and highland wheat seeds to raise as the hunter Halib, and I remember sacrificing myself to save them from the avalanche!
"And then? Then I went back to Heru, back to the Garden of Eden, and I thought you were going to tat me on the shoulder and say 'Hey bro, well done, you were so handsome with a hundred beasts before you were crushed by an avalanche', but you didn't, you erased my memories and imprisoned me here, and I don't know how long I spent in that damn village!!
"But I still don't hate you, Lord Shans, I really wouldn't hate you if it wasn't for what you did later, and I think you might have made some other arrangements and took into account things we couldn't understand." Halib smiled and sneered, "But who did I see later?" Tang Yan, Qiu Lan, Nomi...... I remember they went together to Heru and found the Templar, and they didn't finish their mission until I was imprisoned here. But we're reunited, Lady Shans, and thanks to you, a bunch of carefree fools are reunited!!
"I don't have any memories of the past, I don't even know that I have known each other for a long time, and I thought that we had more companions, ah, how happy we were at that time, living all day long in the bright sunshine that the Heru people could not enjoy, the birds singing, the flowers blooming... Occasionally, outrageously weak 'players' come in and are bullied by us......"
Helib looked at him, whispering, but indescribably mocking.
"Am I really supposed to thank you? Lady Shans. β
"No, you can't understandβ"
"Look, look, here it is again, you perfect rhetoric...... Yes, I can't understand it. He restrained his sneering expression, his eyes full of anger: "Then what did you do to Ma Liang?"
"That fool-like, carefree I remember very clearly, one day, he suddenly broke into here, claiming to take us away and give us real freedom, and then was resisted by everyone, Tang Yan was even the first to rush up.
"If you think about it, we were really stupid at that time, a person who tried to rescue his compatriots from prison was met with desperate resistance from his compatriots, and even took the initiative to ask the warden for help!! How desperate he must have been!!
"Lord Warden Shans, I remember that they went together on a mission to build the Templar, why is he the only one who has not returned to 'this fertile land', and why is he the only one who remembers your atrocities?
"Why is he the only one who was burned by you in front of us! Burn! Dangerous! Exhaust! β
Helib's last question was almost shouted in a roar, his eyes reddened like a demon from hell.
"You say we can't understand it!
"You say you're saving and protecting us!
"Why did you kill him! Just because he's trying to save us? β
The smile on Shansi's face vanished, and he tried to argue several times, but he gave up, only the colorful light of his pupils kept flickering, just like his complicated heart.
He raised his hand, and his bones moved, and Halib felt the space around him freeze instantly, and the huge pressure came like a tidal wave, making the bones in his body creak. This scene is familiar, because it reappeared thousands of years ago, when he had just returned from Lokan.
He would then be erased from his memories and exiled to this space forever.
At the same moment, the mammoth let out an unwilling wail, trying to break free of his master's shackles, but Shans only waved his hand, and it turned into a streamer and disappeared.
"You deserve to be burned in hell."
Halib said word for word, completely abandoning resistance.
In the last seconds before his consciousness vanished, he remembered to fulfill his duty as an NPC and give Sullia the reward they deserved.
Thank you, thank you for bringing me back home.
β¦β¦
With Halib imprisoned, the scene of the Kadra Plateau quickly faded, and Shans watched this happen, suddenly kneeling on the ground in pain, covering his face.
"Forgive me...... I don't want to hurt anyone...... I hope you all have a smile on your face......"
An inaudible murmur peeked through the cracks of his fingers.
β¦β¦
On the other side, after sending Halib away, it didn't take long for Surya and the others to get a reminder that made people feel refreshed.
"Halib has returned to his hometown, and he is grateful to you for getting 200 exp!"
Everyone said that Eric guessed correctly, and the way to fulfill his wish was indeed to get exp, and it was far beyond their imagination.
"What's next?" I don't know who asked, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Eric was gone, and everyone seemed to lose their direction all of a sudden.
"Maybe we should send Mr. Xu Fu to the sea?" Surya proposed, her eyes suddenly focused on Xu Fu.
Then the elf suddenly raised his hand, a note between his fingers.
"Eric stuffed a note in my hand before leaving." "He said that if everything is normal, let us take Mr. Xu Fu back to the village, and there are two people to testify, we should not die like him," Amase said. β
"Do you use a teleportation array?"
"No, he said the teleportation array should have been turned off......"
When he said this, Amacer also had an expression of disbelief on his face.
"How could it be ......" Xu Fu turned his head to look at the teleportation array, and sure enough, the patterns on it had been crumpled. He pulled out his tools and tried to revive them, but as soon as he got closer, he was knocked away by a cloud of lightning.
"How so? I'm obviously disconnected, how can I ......"
Xu Fu, who was helped to his feet, muttered, he couldn't believe that the teleportation array he had used to realize his dream had been destroyed like this.
"We can go back first, Mr. Xu Fu." Surya raised the torch in his hand and said, "Now you don't have a second ship, if you want, we can help you." β
"Yes, we can help you." Everyone also spoke, and they all gradually mastered this posture of "taking on the task".
Xu Fu was speechless with emotion, simply cleaned up, and set foot on the way home with everyone.
