Chapter 18: Players?

Xie Xi returned to the courtyard of Tianzihao, he cleaned up the pile of scattered bamboos in the Tianyi house again, and looked for the things left in the house, sure enough, he couldn't find the brazier, it should have been taken away by Chu Lun.

But Chu Lun didn't know where he went, if he was already far away from this courtyard, then where should he go to find him? If he can't find it for a while, it's over, and there is not much time left for him.

Xie Xi stood in the dilapidated courtyard, bowing his head in contemplation. The bright moon hung high, and the courtyard had become a ruin, only he was a lonely figure, and the surroundings were extremely cold. Suddenly, he smiled slightly, and he had already thought of a way.

"Cell phone! Chu Lun, who hopes to turn into a monster, hasn't thrown away his phone yet! ”

He took out Ling Youyou's mobile phone and dialed Chu Lun's number. He had used Shen Yajun's mobile phone to save Chu Lun's number before, and he still remembered the numbers clearly at this moment. The moment he entered all the numbers and pressed the dial-through button, he listened intently.

At this time, the mountains were silent, except for the occasional birdsong and the chattering sound of animals opening their burrows, but none of these sounds escaped his ears—after becoming a cultivator, his hearing had far surpassed that of ordinary people.

(At this time, if you take the English listening test, you should be able to kill everything in seconds, right?) )

It was empty, silent in the dark night. Suddenly, a faint music bell sounded in the distant forest to the northeast, although it was only a little, but Xie Xi still clearly caught it.

The next moment, Xie Xi jumped up and ran wildly in that direction. He chased all the way, and the aurora swept through countless trees. Finally, a cave suddenly appeared in front of me, and the faint sound of music bells came clearly from the cave.

This is the same cave they found yesterday when they were exploring their way during the day! At that time, Xie Xi also went in with Wang Jiashu, but Wang Jiashu is still missing.

At that time, a large group of fish monsters had emerged from the cave to chase them. Speaking of which, Chu Lun seems to have become a fish monster now, could it be that he went in to find his own kind and return to his big family? Thinking of the scene where Chu Lun and the disgusting four-legged fish monsters were warmly calling their parents warmly, Xie Xi couldn't help but feel a chill.

Shook his head, kicking the messy thoughts out of his head. He took a deep breath and dived into the cave, chasing the ringing of his mobile phone, which was not far ahead!

The cave was no different from the one entered during the day, dark and secluded, and filled with a pungent fishy stench.

He walked straight along the cave and soon came to a fork in the road. He remembered that he and Wang Jiashu chose the left side at this fork in the road, and he also saw a road monument engraved with "Lingxi" on the left, and then led out a large group of fish monsters.

But at this moment, the ringtone of the mobile phone from the fork in the right clearly indicated that Chu Lun had entered the fork in the road on the right. And the ringtone is already very clear, which shows that he is not far from Chu Lun.

Ready for battle, he cautiously walked up to the fork in the road on the right. And what will be at the fork in the road on the right?

Not long after he stepped onto the fork in the road on the right, he saw the road monument again. When the phone shone through, he saw two vermilion characters engraved on the square roadmark: Netherworld.

Hell? Underworld?

Xie Xi pondered and continued to move forward cautiously. As he slowly moved forward, the scenery on the left and right gradually changed. The originally pitch-black cave gradually had a faint blue light, faintly illuminating the surroundings. Countless dark blue flames flew around in the air, like tiny fireflies—the light came from these flying flames.

Xie Xi initially thought it was really a firefly, so he grabbed one casually, but found that it was a small flame burning.

Netherworld, underworld, hellfire?

Xie Xi let go of his hand, and the small flame flew out of his palm, still unextinguished, flying in the sky.

Xie Xi frowned, only the fire of the Netherworld could burn so eternally without any reliance.

As he walked on, his eyes suddenly brightened. A rustic wooden bridge flew to the opposite bank in front of him, the sides of the bridge were empty, and below the bridge was a rolling underground river, trickling. Countless fires fluttered along the Qiaotou River, reflecting the sparkling waves of the river. It's a weird scene.

Xie Xi glanced at the bridgehead and found that there was a small stone tablet there, he stepped forward and saw the words on the stone tablet clearly: Nai He Bridge.

What a bridge?

Xie Xi took a deep breath and continued to walk forward. Soon, he heard the sound of a conversation in front of him, as if Chu Lun was not alone. The situation was unknown, and he didn't dare to move forward any further, so he found a rock that was a man high, hid behind it, and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.

“…… Long time no see. Oh, old thing, how did you make yourself look like this? ”

"Heh, what about you, Yuan Evil, you have become a strange fish, are you embarrassed to talk about me?"

Neither of these voices is Chu Lun, it seems that Chu Lun has really become a monster completely. It seems that the original evil is the name of one person, but the other person does not know what the name is.

The sound of the chain shaking "click", as if someone was chained.

Then, Xie Xi heard the fish monster named Yuan Xie say, "I have no choice but to do it. I have been sealed in the Liuhe Divine Fire Urn for too long, and the Yuan Shen has been half-destroyed and cannot restore my human body. Fortunately, the kid who came in inadvertently broke my seal, and I invaded his physical body, fused with my primordial spirit, and became what I am now. ”

"Hehe, Yuan Evil, you're still the same. Anyway, that kid saved you, but you took revenge and slaughtered him. ”

"His consciousness is extinguished. The flesh is controlled by me in this life, and it is so bad that the wind and the rain will be rainy? ”

Xie Xi was shocked when he heard this, no wonder Fang Ling heard the monster say "Help me." "At that time, it should have been Chu Lun who was fighting with this monster called Yuan Evil for the right to use the body, but obviously, now, Chu Lun has completely failed and been devoured.

He continued to listen.

"Do you want the wind to be windy, and you want to be rainy? Ridiculous, we've been trapped in this game for 10,000 years. For 10,000 years, the first day of the player's entry has been repeated, and the fourteenth day of the player's annihilation has been repeated. This long, almost infinite time means nothing to us, and the world means nothing to us. What if you break the seal and get your body? ”

There was a long silence.

"I'm going out, I don't know what the world outside of this game has become. It's like a completely new era out there. Yuan Xie suddenly smiled strangely, and seemed to hold up his mobile phone, "Look, this is something that has been playing beautiful music when I first came over. The memories I have left in my body tell me that this thing is called a cell phone, and it seems to be a very interesting thing. ”

“…… What if you go out? That guy will also take us back and make us so-called NPCs. ”

"Run. I can run away for as long as I can, even if it's just one day of freedom and happiness, I'm going to try. ”

"We can't fight that man, he is a god-like existence on the high."

Yuan Xie suddenly shouted angrily: "God, so what? I've been in this game for 10,000 years, and every time a player comes in, I have to kill them, or be killed by them. In the beginning, I still had humanity, killing players, I would feel that I had mutilated innocent people, I had done evil, and later, more and more players appeared, and they only regarded me as an ordinary NPC, with swords, guns, swords, and halberds, looking at me everywhere. Do you know what it's like to be killed, resurrected, and then killed by the next round of players? Do you know what it's like to be born and die, die and live for 10,000 years? ”

"I know." The person across from him smiled wryly, "Have you forgotten, I'm just an NPC now." I'm just in charge of guiding the story. ”

Yuan Xie suddenly laughed weirdly and maniacally: "So, that's enough!" 10,000 years, that's enough. I've been driven crazy! What if a person is a god! I'm going to get out of this game! ”

Xie Xi was shocked when he heard this, judging from the conversation between the two people, these two so-called NPCs didn't seem to be NPCs in the general sense at all, they had their own consciousness and memories, and even tried to drill into the real world from this game!

Can you imagine seeing an NPC in the game appear in front of you in a blink of an eye after you quit the game?!

Moreover, in their dialogue, there seems to be a stronger adult, and that person is the one who made them NPCs! Make an NPC? A good person, caught in the game, and became a game character who can no longer escape?

Xie Xi felt that his brain could no longer understand. This has upended his perception of the world.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down and think about what to do next. Suddenly, he heard a "pop" sound next to him, and secretly screamed in his heart!

"Who?" Yuan Xie looked over and snorted.

Where the sound came from, a figure came out and fled in panic towards Xie Xi. Xie Xi looked over and found that the person was none other than Wang Jiashu, who had been missing for a long time. He was obviously eavesdropping on the side, and when he heard something surprised, he accidentally made a noise.

Xie Xi smiled bitterly, grabbed Wang Jiashu who fled to Xie Xi's side, and said, "Don't panic, it's me." ”

Xie Xi took Wang Jiashu with him, turned around and flew away to the outside of the cave. In fact, he could have left Wang Jiashu alone, but Xie Xi and Chu Lun's group were different after all, and after hesitating, he still couldn't do such a thing as seeing death and not saving him.

Wang Jiashu was dressed in rags, his body was tattered, and there were countless wounds, and he couldn't bear to look at it directly.

He was relieved when he saw that it was Xie Xi.

Xie Xi ran all the way with Wang Jiashu, but he didn't hear the footsteps behind him. His heart became more and more alert, and a feeling of being locked in by something surged in his heart.

They had fled to the Nai Ho Bridge.

"Whew!"

Xie Xi's figure suddenly slammed, and a monster with half human, half fish, four fins and long claws suddenly appeared in front of him. The monster was more than two meters tall, and stood at the head of the bridge for a long time, blocking all the paths in front of it.

That monster named Yuan Evil who devoured Chu Lun!

What's going on? Obviously, I didn't feel him catching up before, why did he suddenly appear now?

Xie Xi put down Wang Jiashu, took a deep breath, and looked at the monster coldly.

Yuan Xie smiled: "Player? Coincidentally, I used to be ...... too."

……

In the boundless desert, on the huge LED screen, the displayed text suddenly began to appear garbled, and the incomprehensible messy words appeared frantically in rows on the screen.

"What's wrong?"

"What's going on?"

"Garbish?"

Pre-players who hadn't entered the game were buzzing with each other. This is the first time such a strange thing has happened since the appearance of this train game on the other side.

The voice of the narrator appeared again, and this time the feeling in his voice was completely put away, leaving only the cold and solemn: "The game has a virus that causes garbled codes, and the conductor will lead the crew to enter the game to kill the virus!" ”
