In the hollow darkness, a faint light suddenly appeared.

Seems to be a rift.

Two figures walked in from outside the rift, and the rift closed again.

There was a dull roar in the darkness, like a hollow sigh.

Yu Luochen followed closely behind the leading girl, and at the moment when the rift closed, he saw a faint blue light flickering in the endless darkness, just like the stars in the sky emerging from the night—and in these stars, there were two points that were particularly bright, like two lanterns floating in the void, rapidly approaching them.

Yu Luochen was startled, only to see a hideous behemoth appear in the void in the distance, like an evil spirit wandering in the Nine Shades Purgatory, and the so-called two lanterns were its two pairs of dark blue eyes.

It stood in front of Yu Luochen, opening its bloody mouth, as if it wanted to swallow him in one gulp.

"Silence!" There was a sudden whisper in his ears, and the behemoth's movements stopped abruptly, only to hear the girl who took the lead and said, "He is the person I want to lead on this trip." ”

The monster seemed to understand what the girl was saying, and its lantern-like eyes showed a touch of human thought, and then retreated, and Yu Luochen saw this behemoth clearly - it turned out to be a dragon-shaped demonic beast.

"Silence is a void dragon, with the ability to travel through space, and this time he brought me to pick you up." The leading girl explained.

Yu Luochen couldn't help but marvel, he had seen the Void Dragon in the terminal game before, but after all, it was just a 3D virtual model placed on the computer screen, and it didn't look like anything, but now he was shocked to see it with his own eyes.

But just now the girl seems to have said that she wants to pick him up...... Could it be that if you go to the void island of the East China Sea of the Void Sect, you still need to rely on the void dragon?

The girl who picked up the girl seemed to see Yu Luochen's question, and said lightly: "The novice area is in the north of this world, and the Void Island is in the East China Sea, even if you rely on the ability to cross space, it will take a while. ”

It actually takes a while, Yu Luochen remembers that in the previous game, he had to go from the novice area to the sect, which was a matter of progress bar.

"Then why don't you use a teleportation array?" Yu Luochen asked.

"Teleportation array?" The girl sneered, her tone mocking, "Do you think Xuanxin will allow us to set up a teleportation array in their novice village?" Yu Luochen realized what a stupid question he had asked.

Set up a teleportation array in the novice area of the rival sect, and I'm afraid it will be demolished in a few minutes. But there are also some public areas, such as the Misty Jungle or something......

"And it doesn't make much sense to set up a teleportation array in the novice area, the cost is also very huge, and it's useless to build it," she continued, "Usually people who have passed the sect certification will rarely return to the novice area, and it was a complete accident that you could meet those three people in a place like Mingxin Village," she sneered again, "But you're also lucky to have met them, if only you were the only one and didn't get eaten by the [Black Mist Shadow]." ”

Yu Luochen was also secretly glad when he heard this, if it wasn't for Jing Yao and them, he might have been eaten by Qin Feng a long time ago, or by the [Soul Devouring Gu] in the [Netherworld]...... I still have some lingering palpitations when I think about it now.

"The most important thing is that the spatial pressure of a cross-regional teleportation array like this is very huge, and with the level of you novices, you can't bear it at all," she said with a sneering and meaningful voice, "It would be a waste to let you die in the process of teleportation." ”

Hearing this, Yu Luochen didn't quite understand what the girl said.

I remember that when I first entered the secret realm, the old man I met in Yinglong Village, the novice village of the void, also said something similar, saying that if he died inexplicably as soon as he entered the secret realm, it would be too wasteful.

Waste? What waste? He couldn't figure it out, and the girl didn't continue to explain to him......

"Okay, no more nonsense, we've been delaying for too long." The girl said as she held out her hand.

Although he was extremely unhappy in his heart, Yu Luochen obediently held the weak and boneless hand. She took him with her, tiptoe, flew up, and landed firmly on the back of the Void Dragon.

Immediately after, I saw the girl pat the back of the Void Dragon, and with a dull roar, the Void Dragon flew up and walked through the void with a surprisingly fast speed.

......

On the way, Yu Luochen sat on the back of the void dragon and said nothing.

The maiden stood not far in front of him—though there was nothing between them, empty, but as if separated by a thousand mountains and rivers.

In fact, he didn't want to be like this, although he let himself suffer so much when he was in the Enlightenment Space when he was luring the girl to rub the "Garan Seal" for himself, but later he slowly began to accept it, and he didn't have much resentment towards her.

But today, she told him it was just a novice test for him. So many people died, but it was just a trial they made, which made him a little unacceptable, and also made him resist the girl in front of him.

He stared at her back, and the girl seemed to sense his gaze and turned her head. I saw that those eyes were as cold as snakes, as if they were inhuman, just like soulless NPCs...... That's right, NPCs!

Thinking of this, Yu Luochen's face changed, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and blurted out: "You...... It can't be an NPC. ”

At the beginning, he suspected that she was a GM, and then he encountered several other NPC mutations in a row, they did not follow the game's setting, they had their own way of thinking and language habits, and sometimes he even felt that these NPCs were no different from them players.

I don't know if the player has integrated into this world, or if the NPC has integrated into the player, but as players, they have unconsciously accepted such a setting.

It's scary to think about it...... Yu Luochen looked at the girl in horror.

I saw that the girl who took the lead did not deny it, and seemed to smile silently, walked up to Yu Luochen, leaned over and asked, "What is an NPC in your eyes?" ”

"It's a mess of data in the game, an AI program." Yu Luochen replied.

"Data? AI program? The girl frowned, groaned slightly, and then straightened up, "According to the information in our minds, it seems to be explained like this. ”

Yu Luochen was frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "You say...... What do you have in mind? ”

"How?" The girl raised an eyebrow.

Yu Luochen stammered and asked, "Why do you also ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the girl, "Do you allow you to print the information of our world, but we are not allowed to print the information of your world?" ”

"Huh?" At that moment, he blurted out, as if he didn't understand what the girl said. Thoughts swirled rapidly in his mind, and he felt as if he had heard some great secret.

But I heard the girl continue: "It's really unpleasant to be defined as an NPC, and I have to do some weird things according to the setting......"

As she spoke, she made another move that made Yu Luochen dumbfounded, only to see her right hand swipe through the void, revealing something very similar to the player's menu.

She stretched out her white finger and tapped on it, opening the character introduction interface, which contained some relevant information about her.

She said lightly: "Actually...... I still prefer people to call me by my name - Jinxuan rather than NPCs, or the girl who leads me. ”

Her voice was illusory and ethereal, like a demon's whisper, echoing in Yu Luochen's ears, and it could not be dispersed for a long time......
