The Ranger and the Iron Guard of the Wind Forest followed the old prophet and the dragon chariot all the way. However, upon entering the forest, the plants stopped them from doing so, and the giant tree that made way for the Prophet was the first to block the path of the stalkers.

"Damn! We're going to lose people in the Windtalker's Forest! Qiu Di cursed secretly. I thought I would be able to complete the redemption this time! Damn it! ”

"Still thinking about your salvation? The little daughter of the forest has woken up, and you are the one who brought him back. How do you think the current prophet would feel about this? I advise you to flee with you quickly. Simpson couldn't help but remind his old friend.

"I'm ......" Qiu Di hesitated for a moment, but finally closed his mouth. While the Wind Forest Iron Guard in front of him was still searching for traces, he turned around and gave an order to his companion with his eyes, and quietly disappeared among the greenery.

Dragon cart

Crewe, who was riding the dragon foal, made sure that the "tail" behind him had been thrown off, and then crossed over the back of the dragon foal to the carriage and opened the door. "My lord, with the help of these plants, even the native elves can't keep up with us."

"Hmm." Yu Yi nodded absentmindedly, he was still imagining what kind of "past" he would get. After a few seconds, he turned to him and asked, "Crewe, how did you find here?" It's been a long time since we've been in touch. ”

"I'm ashamed to say it, but when I returned to Wildfire City, there was only a ruin left there, and there was no trace of you......" The knight had just said this, and the young man opposite stopped him with his hand.

"Wait, what do you say? Wildfire City, only a ruin remains? What's going on? Yu Yi even thought that Kru was joking with himself, but he didn't find any hint of laughter on the other party's face.

"It's the Canglong Empire, they sent troops to conquer the rebellious new city." Crewe stroked the black spear in his hand, "As far as I know, there are still quite a few people who survived the massacre, such as the foolish prince, who is said to have been rescued by the devil. There is also Princess Dana, who left with the flame of restoration, and several elite units of the Flame Fang Cavalry. ”

"That ......"

Crewe understood what he was asking - General Lamobis, and he shook his head and replied, "Teacher, he died in the inner city, and his body was also dismembered to the public. When I arrived, I found the gun in the underground vault he had told me. and his letters, which he let me cross. ”

After easing his emotions, Yu Yi asked, "General, how did he know that I was coming to the Forest of the Wind Whisperers?" ”

"No, the news was told to me by a captain of a ship when I crossed the sea. He said he was your friend, Aesop, and that was his name in the newspaper. ”

"This kid still can't help but help me." Yu Yi will also smile.

At this time, the dragon cart stopped. It seems that they have arrived at their destination.

"Go down, we'll be waiting for you here." Shadow, who was sitting by the window and holding his arms, said flatly.

"Aren't you going with me?"

"If the elven prophet would have answered," replied the mage, "ahead is the realm of the elves, and no one in this carriage will be able to enter except you." ”

Yu Yi also wanted to ask why he was that special case, but he heard Ying urging: "Don't talk so much nonsense, this is not a place to stay for a long time!" ”

He then walked out of the dragon car in a huff, and sure enough, Bai Siling and her grandmother were already waiting there. "Young human, don't you know that it's rude to let the old man wait for you?" The Prophet rebuked unceremoniously.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

His appearance made Bai Siling next to him chuckle.

"Follow me."

As he spoke, the prophet took the lead and walked forward. Ahead, however, was a dense forest filled with smoke, and there was no road in sight.

However, since there was a leader who was struggling, Yu Yi didn't worry about anything anymore, and quickly followed, walking beside Bai Siling. "Why did you let me into your forbidden land?" He asked.

There is no why, just a prophecy that says so. Like the ring on both of your hands, it's the arrangement of the goddess of nature. She arranged for you to walk together, and she arranged for you to enter the forbidden land. The old elf replied.

Grandma's words made Bai Siling's cheeks flush slightly, and she whispered, "Grandma is the greatest prophet, and her words cannot be wrong. ”

"Hmm." Yu Yi also nodded obediently.

Seeing their harmonious appearance, the elven prophet also quietly showed a smile. "Ahem, okay, that's it ahead. Human, walk into that tree gate alone. ”

Sure enough, looking in the direction pointed by the elven prophet, the fog had disappeared from the artifact. And the two towering ancient trees each stretch out one of their "arms", forming a natural arch.

After nodding to Bai Siling, he walked towards the tree gate as the old elf had instructed. 'There doesn't seem to be anything special about this forbidden place, right? He thought to himself. Without terrifying guardian beasts, dangerous traps, and seemingly no treasures worth keeping secret, can this be considered a forbidden place?

With doubts in his heart, he stepped through the tree gate. However, the moment his feet stepped out of the door, everything around him darkened for a moment, and the door behind him was gone.

In the face of strange changes, when Yu Yizheng was hesitating, he heard a voice sound: "You kid is finally here, don't stand stupidly, come here." ”

The light and fluttering voice had a hint of unreal unreality, as if it came from a distance and seemed to be close to the ear. But in any case, Yu Yi felt a little ...... about it Familiar.

"Who are you? Do we know each other? He asked, walking uncontrollably towards the gray spot ahead.

"Silly boy," the voice seemed to reply, "I'm glad you're back." ”

"Who the hell are you?" Yu Yi quickened his pace and walked forward, and unconsciously, the surrounding environment gradually brightened up with his steps. Little by little, it spreads forward......

This time, the voice replied that it was completely deviated from his question: "I really hope that you can spend your life happily like ordinary people, after all, you are like my child." However, your birth was accompanied by a mission. When I gave you power, I also put a burden on your shoulders......"

The words that were still going on made Yu Yi feel a burst of chaos in his mind, as if those sealed or long-lost memories had already found their home by themselves at this time, knocking on the door. However, it all came so suddenly that it messed up all his thoughts.

“…… Of course, without my supervision, the final choice is still in your own hands. Still, I hope that if you can, boy, please continue to fulfill your mission. No matter what happened. ”

Mission...... Is that the one Shadow is talking about? What exactly is it and where does it come from? "Who are you? Come out! ”

It's just that the owner of the voice obviously wouldn't do that, and obviously, the voice that spoke freely was just a message. And it, there is still the last sentence left: "Boy, in the end, the fourth uncle wishes you happiness and takes good care of the shadow." Don't forget, you are you. ”

The words came to an abrupt end, and the surroundings were completely restored.

Four...... Fourth uncle? Yu Yi, who knelt on the ground in pain because of the confusion in his mind, when he heard the last sentence, the tumbling in his mind suddenly stopped, and the fourth uncle ...... Right! This voice is from the fourth uncle! The fourth uncle who has passed away, his voice ...... And why is it here? In a game.

He slowly raised his head, but found that there was a lifelike stone statue standing in front of him, and the stone statue carved and painted seemed to be the only dear relative in his mind, the fourth uncle.

"Four...... Fourth uncle, hmm...... Ahhh As the tears poured out of control, the fragments of memories in Yu Yi's mind began to be spliced together.

I remembered, I really remembered. Yes, the stone statue is carved out of the fourth uncle, his fourth uncle, his only relative...... However, it is not Yu Yi's.

Yes, the first thing he remembered was not about the mission, not about the shadow, but about himself. He's not Yu Yi!

Who is he?

No, he's not anyone, he's not human, to be precise. He...... It's just a program, or, like any other NPC, a virtual character...... It's just that he's a little special.

Developed by D-Ball Heart, "Heroes of the Holy Pact" has never been an ordinary game, which can be seen from its special game mode and setting. However, people who know more about it won't think of it as a game.

The Third World, that's a fitting description. That's right, this is the third world created by the heart of the D ball for human beings, and the initial operation in the name of the game is just a process of debugging and improvement.

At the end of the day, it's just part of a rescue plan. With the continuous advancement of technology, it has finally been realized.

The first world, which is the D-ball in reality, is already facing collapse, and the so-called end of the world is only a matter of time. In the apocalypse, it is destined that only the best individuals should be preserved, inherit the fire, and find another planet that can accommodate life.

However, from a human point of view, it is impossible to completely abandon other living people. Thus, the Third World program began to work.

The first is the maturity of consciousness extraction and transfer technology, which makes this plan possible. As long as there is no problem with the game itself, the human consciousness can be stored in the game out of the body, and it can be preserved in it, and even go through the process of birth, aging, sickness and death, and generate a new consciousness.

When a new home is found in reality, these consciousnesses can be re-injected into the artificial shell and thus returned to the real world. Although, this may go through several, or even dozens, hundreds of epochs......

The plan proceeds step by step, and a world that is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood is slowly being constructed. However, as the plan deepened, contradictions eventually emerged.

A disagreement arose between the two most critical producers, over the "human" setting of the characters in the game. Today's technology has been able to give emotions to virtual characters almost realistically. Obviously, in the third world, it is a complete world that allows virtual characters to have real humanity.

However, a producer objectively believes that an overly real human nature setting will only cause unnecessary trouble. For example, virtual characters have completely replaced human consciousness. However, if human consciousness is deliberately strengthened in order to avoid this phenomenon, it will upset the balance of the Third World......

Such concerns are not unreasonable. In the end, though, most of the votes were still skewed in favor of the human touch. This also led to the departure of game producers who were loyal to objective reality from the team.

As for the rest of the human producer, although he eventually gained the support of the team, he also knew that his friend's concerns were right. The "human" setting of virtual characters is indeed great, but inevitably, "humanity" always has a dark side, it may indeed be more realistic in the game world, but it may also threaten the existence of real consciousness in the game.

As a result, those virtual characters that may threaten the consciousness of real people have become "viruses" that need to be cleaned up. However, viruses are not always "viral" in the first place, which often takes a long time to derive. So, how do we clean up the "virus" while the world is working?

Soon there was a corresponding plan, and a special program character was set up. An existence that can distinguish between right and wrong in the world with a cold eye, after special strengthening, she can become the leader who leads the human consciousness to defeat the "virus" at a critical moment.

It was not difficult for one such special procedural figure to be created. But after testing, it has been proved that such a human setting that is indifferent to the situation is not suitable to be a "savior". So, the special character of the first generation was put on hold, and at that time she did not even get her own name.

The second special character is a flesh-and-blood character who was created by the producer himself. The producer treats him as his own child and gives him all the emotions that an ordinary person should have, just a little more "resistance". Yes, the oppression of the "virus" requires "resistance".

And this time the characters lived up to expectations and achieved the desired effect. So the team was completely relieved to hand over the most unreasonable ability in the entire game to him - [Disorderly One].

Just as everyone was already preparing for the final touches, the unexpected happened again. The Disorderly they had just created rebelled.

And the reason is that the organization is about to destroy the first generation of failed figures.

Whatever the reason, the Disorderly has therefore been classified as a "virus", and if so, he is undoubtedly the biggest threat to the game, and he must be destroyed.

Reasonable producers quickly understood that this was not a "virus". It's that his own setting has succeeded, and the little bit of "resistance" he added has worked. Yes, the disobedient order to destroy the original failed artifacts issued by the Heart of the D-Ball is obviously also regarded as an oppression by the Disorderly as well, so resistance is inevitable.

Right! He's not a virus! As his creator, the producer knows this better than anyone. However, this time he was unable to convince the organization. He could only wait for the bad news to come in the world he had created.

However, his children found him on their own initiative.

The voice "Fourth uncle, help me." "Let him leave all his worries behind. He must save him!

Regardless of discipline and orders, he used his highest status to search for all ways out. And, he found a vegetative person who had just "died of consciousness" due to a car accident, an orphan with no relatives, well, he couldn't be more suitable.

And so the action began, and the Disorderly was implanted into the body of a human being. If successful, the disorder and the body will be reborn together. And he received a new name, which is also the name of the owner of the body, Yu Yi.

Although all traces of the whereabouts of the [Disorderly One] were destroyed, the "Fourth Uncle" could not destroy the traces of his serious violation of the heart of the D-ball. He is about to face the harshest verdict.

And the last thing I did was to go back to the game and protect the "failures" that my "nephew" would do whatever it took to protect them. In comparison, she is not too threatening, so she has not been searched for by the organization too much.

Her presence may not be a bad thing, a guy like that kid who likes to do things willfully does need an objective and calm person to supervise him. So, she also has a new mission, waiting for the return of the [Disrupted], and assisting him, like a shadow. She embraced it as much as she accepted her short name—Shadow.

After sending off the shadow, the "fourth uncle" recorded the last message for his nephew. Then he sat in the real room and waited for the verdict, and the last time was enough for him to recall the proudest plan of his life - the [Nordion] anti-virus plan.

……

The memories are over, and at this moment, the young man who knelt in front of the stone statue finally found the memory he had been pursuing. However, such memories only made him more confused......

Now, who is he? "Yu Yi"? No, he has only inherited part of the memories of the owner of the body...... Is he Nordion? No, the virus that was expelled from the game has been reborn after combining with the human body......

You are who you are......

The fourth uncle's words rang in his ears again.

Yes, I am who I am.

He wiped the tears from his eyes and slowly stood up from the ground. A freak who combines man and procedure, however, that doesn't negate that he exists, and all along, he's survived and lived well.

So, there is no need to doubt.

"I am who I am." Yu Yi said to himself again. He stepped forward and hugged the stone statue of the fourth uncle, "Fourth uncle, don't worry, I will protect your world." ”

Yes, he remembered what his mission was. From this moment on, he really came back.

However, now that his [Disruptor] ability has awakened, why haven't the people of the D-Ball Heart discovered him for a long time?

Searching for the answer in his almost complete memory at this time, he found that he was not undiscovered, but had been discovered early. And the one who found him was a friend of the fourth uncle, and at the same time his friend - "Mr. Hip Hop".

Right! It's the male waiter from Wildfire City! It's him, he's the game producer who left the heart of the D-ball!

However, this "Mr. Hip Hop" does not have the unkind appearance in his memory, on the contrary, he is very kind and loves the game world. Perhaps, after he left all his work during this time away from the organization, he began to understand his friend's thoughts...... No wonder, he was willing to be a life player, a waiter in an inn.

And his sudden departure after that must have been to return to the organization and take over the game. And, let's protect my friend's "nephew" in secret.

In any case, the dust has settled now. Yu Yi is just an afterthought participant. What he has to do now is to live in this world with his mission on his back, as the fourth uncle expects.

Staying alive is not an easy task for him. Looking back now, it seems that he is alone in the three living people, Yu Yi, Nordion, and the new identity he obtained by entering the game this time - Lance Torrentor.

The part of "Yu Yi" brings a color to his world, such as Lin Qihan and Nie Youyou; The identity of "Nordion" has also added chapters to him, such as [Disrupted] and Shadow; And in retrospect, the only part that really belongs to him after his rebirth is the part of Lance, and it is also the most profound part of him now.

From Wildfire City to the Forest of the Windwhisperers, how much has it been through?

As for this part, the people who made him think of it for the first time were except for Bai Siling and Pearl who were around him at this time...... He found himself still with a face. "Mi Wei......" he muttered the name, wondering where she was now. However, now that the information in his mind that should have been a program has been revived, it is not difficult to find someone. What's more, he found that she was not a nameless little character, she was the "little princess" of the Six-toed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, the president's runaway little daughter!

Yes, not long ago, Yu Yi had just met her brother, Dinat, who was obsessed with weapons research. By the way, the guy's parting advice is a little meaningful.

"Duchy Myrdal? Again the Duchy of Myrdal. He smiled.

At this moment, there was a sudden flash of light. In a daze, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in front of the elven prophet. The old elf and Bai Siling were looking at him anxiously.

"Finally woke up! Bai Siling, get on the dragon car and get out of here! ”

"Grandma, then you ......"

"I'll stay here and wait for you guys. Don't worry, I'm also her grandmother after all, and I'll be fine. ”

When Yu Yi's mind came to his senses, he was already sitting on the galloping dragon car. The eyes of everyone around him were still focused on him, but he just stuck his head out the window and said to himself, "Is there a virus here?" ”

Only the shadow closest to him heard his voice, and she held back the sourness in her nose and whispered, "Are you finally back?" ”

Yu Yi sat back and stretched out his hand, habitually pinching the other party's face, this was his habit. "I'm back."

This time, Shadow only remembered to show a light smile.

"However, the ...... here It's not like we're in the mess right now. I'm going to need a while...... The next time we come back, we will definitely restore this forest to its proper appearance. ”

The elven girl withdrew her gaze from the window and nodded to her master. His promise, she never questioned.

At this time, Lucia walked in from the front of the carriage. "Where are we going now?" he asked. She looked at Crewe, and Crewe looked at her grown-up.

"Duchy of Myrdal."

Yu Yi said without hesitation.

"Great!"

In fact, a long time ago, everything around had already pointed to this destination: Xiang Yang, Liu Yunsheng, Teacher Griffiths, and even Lin Qihan, who ran away willfully, was likely to go there, as well as Mi Wei......

Therefore, it has undoubtedly become the first stop after the return of "gears......
