Chapter 18: The Night Master
"Lin Yuanzheng!"
If there was anything else that could make Lin Yuanzheng feel panicked at this moment, it was to be suddenly called out by his real name in this completely strange world and strange place. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This feeling is as if someone is secretly watching you, spying on everything about you, all your privacy is exposed and there is nowhere to hide, and what is worse is that you still don't know where the other person is hiding and what the purpose is.
Of course, he had also told a girl and Brother Shi Zhongyu his name before, but it was clear that it was not a woman who had just called him, but a man with a hoarse voice.
"Who are you?" Lin Yuanzheng asked vigilantly, a pair of eyes kept searching back and forth. The man's voice was loud, but the wolf-headed monster outside the cage didn't seem to be aware of it.
"Hahahaha." The hoarse man's voice sounded from behind Lin Yuanzheng again, "Your performance is really far from what I expected of you. - But I can still keep my expectations for you a little bit. Ha ha. β
That voice seemed to be not far behind Lin Yuanzheng, but Lin Yuanzheng looked back and saw that there was no one behind him, and he was the only one in the cage now.
"Don't you find it boring to keep looking around like this? Well, I'll show you it. β
As the voice fell, a black blurred shadow appeared not far in front of Lin Yuanzheng's body, and as the black shadow began to clear, Lin Yuanzheng saw a black cloak emerge.
The cloak floated in the air, and the corners of its garment swayed so violently in the wind that it seemed that there was nothing tangible in it; The head of the cloak was black and deep, like an endless black hole, and the black hole was inhabited by a ghost with deep resentment, which made Lin Yuanzheng feel a strong fear in his heart.
The strange thing is that the wolf-headed monsters outside have stiff eyes one by one, and continue to walk back and forth, and they don't seem to see this "cloak ghost"!
"What? Don't you have a question for me? The "man in the cloak" voice suddenly changed from hoarse to high-pitched, and there seemed to be a slight disappointment in his tone.
"Who are you?" Lin Yuanzheng asked again, barely calming down.
"Haha, who are you? The first question you ask me is, 'Who are you?' I said, can't you just ask some in-depth questions?
"Well, I'll tell you - I'm the Lord of the Abyss, oh, no, no, that's a corny name, another one, Dark Leader? Uh, that's ugly! Demon King Grand Mentor? Alas, no! Why do I have to have a name? The thing I hate the most is choosing a name! Why do I have to pick a name every time! β
Lin Yuanzheng looked at the "man in the cloak" who was just talking to himself like a madman, his voice was high and low, and finally entered a hysterical state, and the fear of "it" in his heart couldn't help but get to the extreme. He quietly tapped the railing of the cage a few times, but the wolf-headed monster outside was unaware.
"Oh, who are you? Why are you here? What are you doing here? What a philosophical question. Good question! Haha, haha. The "man in the cloak" chattered to himself, and his tone was extremely frenzied.
"Well, I'll answer your first question firstβwho are you? I am the master of this world! You can call me the Lord of the Night. Well, just the Night Master. But just by introducing you like that, you won't know who I am. Oh, let me introduce you to the world first.
"The world was created by the Creator - ****** what a genius! It's incredible that such a place can be made! It's incredible! Do you think this is the kind of virtual reality VR world? NoοΌ Not at all! This is a parallel world, a game world that is completely parallel to reality! Do you get the idea?
"You can see food in VR, but is it really filling when you eat it? No! Not at all, that's just a nervous delusion! But what you eat in this world can really fill your stomach!
"If I explain it this way, you must think of it as the new American continent that was not discovered by Columbus. No, no, not at all! Have you ever seen a man on the American continent who can grow wings and fly? Can I change my shape at will? Is it possible to use force that defies common sense and magical powers that are anti-physical and chemical? Surely you haven't seen it! But I'm going to tell you - here, anything is possible!
"Here, all your imaginations and fantasies are so natural and so natural! Everything here is so colorful, so beautiful, that's why I say the Creator is a genius! - He created this place, created such a magical world!
"In this game world, there is no beginner's guide, no information to introduce, no fixed gameplay mode and no fixed game rules! All of the 'players' are also unique in what they encounter here, and they can't be copied and pasted, and they can't be restarted - what does that mean, you know?
"It's amazing, this game world isn't a factory that makes assembly line products - there's no such standard development model! There are no such thing as the right choices! Nor ****** those 'only' metrics! It's an open game world and it's all art! Do you know what art is? Surely you won't get it!
"Okay, now you get the first question. Who am I? I am Lord of the Night. What is this world? This is a genius-created, completely game world parallel to reality!
"So, let's move on to the second question β why are you here?
"I have already said that the Creator is a genius, but he is definitely not a thinker! The world is beautiful and imaginative, but it's not perfect! Not only is it not perfect, it is essentially vulgar!
"So the world still needs me! I! ββWith my existence, I can make this world a more wonderful place, and make this world truly a world in the sense of 'greatness'!
"How? Worship me! Worship me! Look up to me! - No, no, I don't accept those frivolous rituals and false lies. I'm just me, I'm a philosopher, I just want to be a philosopher.
"So, let me answer your third question - what am I doing here? Uh-what am I doing here? Do what? What exactly is it done? That's a question that asked me. Let me think, think about it. Oh, by the way, I'm here - to make this place better! That's why I have you as an experiment.
"My experimental specimen No. 684, Lin Yuanzheng!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Experiment? What experiments? I'm your guinea pig experiment?!
During the whole process, Lin Yuanzheng didn't say a word, but the "man in the cloak" himself kept chattering like a nervous chatter asking and answering himself, and his tone was sometimes irritable, sometimes sighing, sometimes excited, and sometimes serious.
If Lin Yuanzheng was still scared and scared of him at the beginning, then he was already stunned at the end, and he didn't know how to describe his feelings at all.
Is this guy in front of him a psychopath? Or a madman? Or is it a madman plus a neuropath?
It wasn't until the "man in the cloak" shouted "My No. 684 experiment, Lin Yuanzheng" that Lin Yuanzheng came back to his senses and formed a huge question mark in his heart-
Who am I?
No, no, I'm me, I'm Lin Yuanzheng. I have my own family, my own friends and my own life, and I'm not anyone's experiment, I'm myself.
"Don't you want to ask me how you got here?" The "man in the cloak" looked at Lin Yuanzheng with interest, "I spent so much effort to get you into this world, don't you want to ask me why?" β
What the? You designed me to come into this world? Sure enough, there is a conspiracy behind everything!
"Why?!" The anger in Lin Yuanzheng's heart was ignited again at this moment, he finally had a chance to make some money, but he was destroyed by the "person" in front of him, and even his normal life was disrupted.
"Tut-tut, you ask whatever I tell you to ask - alas, your reaction has disappointed me. If it weren't for the last time you escaped from me, I wonder if it was worth it. β
The man in the cape is like a cat teasing a mouse: "But you have proved to me that although you are far from meeting my expectations, at least you can keep a little bit of expectation alive." β
"Totally unknown what you're talking about! I warn you, hurry up and let me go back! Or I'll make you look good! Lin Yuanzheng roared almost hysterically. The anger of being designed for no reason, the annoyance of being played like a mouse, and the humiliation that he had suffered before exploded at this time.
Moreover, he found that if he continued to talk to the madman and neurotic in front of him, his mind would collapse.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to have such a big temper. Do you know who you're talking to right now? I don't know if I should praise you for being brave, or if I should call you too reckless? Haha, now it's time for you to see what to see. β
After the "man in the cloak" finished speaking, the sleeves of the cloak swayed, and Lin Yuanzheng, who was a few meters away from him, suddenly felt that his throat was grabbed invisibly, and his body also left the ground, constantly twisting in the air.
"Oh no, I can't push too hard." The "man in the cloak" looked at Lin Yuanzheng playfully, "The last time I was on the Wicked Island, I gave you a chance to commit suicide by jumping into a waterfall, and finally let you escape to the novice village by resurrection." You know, it's completely forbidden to commit suicide in this world, and you can take advantage of this opportunity, alas, these bugs are really nerve-wracking.
"However, you can make such a choice when you don't know the rules of this world, which shows that your desire for freedom is more than many people who are stronger than you, haha, interesting, interesting, this is one of the places where I still have some expectations for you. Hahaha. β
What the? Did I die once when I jumped into a waterfall? No wonder the shackles on my body were gone when I woke up in the novice village.
Lin Yuanzheng was speechless, but his hands and feet were still struggling.
"Yo, what do I see? Gee. The "man in the cloak" suddenly noticed the talisman on Lin Yuanzheng's body, which was given to Lin Yuanzheng by the patriarch, "Isn't this the fragment of the key left by the creator that can open the gate of the Nine Heavens?" How did you get here? Interesting, interesting, you always make a little surprise for me. Ha ha. β
Just when Lin Yuanzheng was about to roll his eyes and die, the "man in the cloak" seemed to realize something: "Oh, no, no, no, I can't interfere with the experiment myself, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I promise that this won't happen again." β
Lin Yuanzheng lay on the ground and breathed desperately, coughing loudly in his throat.
"Ah, in order to make up for this accident, well, I might as well give you a little compensation, Lord Juggernaut never shows mercy indiscriminately." The "man in the cloak" looked at Lin Yuanzheng and seemed to think for a while, and then said, "Don't you want to leave this world and go back?" Okay, I'll tell you how to go back. β
When Lin Yuanzheng heard this, he gasped for breath while concentrating on this mysterious cloak master.
"You want to go back to the original world, well, there are only two ways to choose at the moment - either you go and collect enough key fragments and open the Nine Heavens Gate; Either you will get the help of the Demon Palace Artifact and enter the Extremely Dark Abyss.
"Haha, neither of these methods is ordinarily difficult. That's all I can tell you now. Come on, I'm looking forward to what you're going to do next, my 684 experiment! Ha ha. β
As the Night Lord said this, his figure began to blur until it vanished, except for the strange, maniacal laughter that remained in the air.
If you want to leave this world, you must either open the gate of the Nine Heavens, or enter the extremely dark abyss. As long as these conditions are met, can I go home? -- Lin Yuanzheng's mind kept circling these words.
At this time, a fox-headed monster came over and instructed the wolf-headed monster: "Taiping Immortal, you have arrived, return to the big array, it is about to start, bring sacrifices." A strong wolf-headed monster came in, and without saying a word, he picked up Lin Yuanzheng, who had almost no power to resist, and walked outside.
