Chapter 31: Clearing the Wasteland (1)

Although Lin Qing's explanation is very reasonable, no matter how you think about it, Jin Libra feels that he is lying. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lin Qing's intentions were too obvious, especially the sentence "Xiao Jin cares too much" that was specifically emphasized later, which made the tendencies of his words clear. Judging from his own understanding of Lin Qing, all the previous analysis and reasoning can be regarded as non-existent, as long as you listen to his last sentence and know his purpose.

I don't know why, Lin Qing has always been reluctant to let himself think that this world is real. Why? Regardless of the truth or falsity of this statement, what is the benefit of such behavior to Lin Qing? Is he really just doing it for himself?

If Lin Qing wanted to say anything, he would definitely say this at this time: "These baseless analyses -- wishful thinking and so-called 'analysis' that meets one's own wishes on the premise of reaching a specific conclusion -- are not only worthless, but also dangerous. ”

…… Maybe that's right, so what?

"I hope that this world is real." The golden scale whispered, but read it word by word.

(…… Not at all, there were no waves in the psychic link as always, as if Lin Qing hadn't heard anything. Lin Qing was able to control his emotions and behavior perfectly—at least he wanted others to see him that way.

The golden balance walked out of the room, and then the door behind him suddenly closed, and when he turned back, he could not open again.

It was pitch black outside the door, and the faint light source from which I don't know where it came from was not noticeable at first. After standing still for about two minutes, it was only after the eyes had adjusted to the darkness that they could barely see the outline of the small area around them.

The golden Libra did not rush in a certain direction, but used his hand to confirm his surroundings.

The floor was covered with a very poor quality carpet, with jagged hairs and some dust, which looked like something very old to the touch. The surrounding walls and ceilings are covered with a somewhat slippery wallpaper, and in the darkness, the patterns on it are faintly displayed in the form of black and darker black, but it is very chaotic and it is impossible to see what it is.

There were no lights on the ceiling - at least not nearby, and there were no vents, which made the golden Libra a little curious about the vents in the room. In general, it is a long corridor like the interior of an old hotel, with room doors evenly arranged on both sides - the number of which is nowhere to be found, in fact, the golden Libra almost lost its place.

After standing there and thinking for a while, the golden Libra drew his long knife and cut through the wallpaper - what was exposed, judging by the color and touch, should be the ordinary lime in this world, and under the carpet, it was not surprisingly ordinary marble. After waiting for a few minutes, there was no strange phenomenon such as automatic healing of the scratch.

For a while, Golden Libra thought that the theme of the two-color ball dungeon was "hotel".

Until, when she pushed open a door, which she thought would be unopen, like the others, came to a large classroom with a few bright windows. As she pushed the door open, she sensed the situation in the room, and several individuals with a little guilt - perhaps a sentence of detention - were concentrated in a corner of the room.

"Ahh

"......" Golden Libra thought for a few seconds and nodded to them, "Hello. ”

Maybe it was the friendly attitude of the Golden Libra, or maybe it was the identity of the Golden Libra Lori, the young men only howled for five seconds before stopping, letting go of the hands that were holding each other tightly, but they were not completely freed from the fear, and still maintained a state of extreme nervousness, which could be heard from their increasingly heavy gasps.

The golden Libra looked at them in silence, waiting for them to really calm down, while also analyzing the current situation: "They, fear outside the door...... Like before, Pale Flame, then? Or, just, nervous ......"

The strongest of the men was the first to calm down, or rather, the first to show that he had calmed down, and it seemed that he should be the dominant person in the group, so even though his legs and stomach were still shaking, he stood up and had a conversation with the creepy Golden Libra.

“…… You-hello. You-you, who are you? Yes, what to do? ”

Golden Libra tilted his head: "We? Who do you mean, me and whom? ”

The leader was stunned for a moment, and said a little strangely: "You are not in the same group as the person before?" ”

It seems that it is not someone who came in with him, and the golden scale, who has avoided some kind of ghost story-like unfolding, smiled reassuringly: "Before? You're saying that there have been people here before? ”

"Ah, a man." The leader shook his whole body as he spoke, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and after a while continued, "You and that person are dressed strangely. It's not a gang, that's great. ”

"Dressed strangely?" Golden Libra recalled the outfit of Pale Yan that he had seen before, Xiao Cang was deeply affected by this world, the robe sent by the system had long been replaced, and he was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt that could be seen everywhere before, it shouldn't be strange to these NPCs anyway, "That person, what does he look like?" ”

"No, I don't know." The leader swallowed again, "The strange man with the spotted mask, dressed in a robe like Lelouch all over his body, barely shows anything. The only eye that showed - God, I don't know if he showed his eyes or not, there was a strange dark green flame burning in that place, I don't know what he looked like. ”

Although the dark green flame is a little different from what I remember, this should be a two-color ball.

Golden Libra nodded thoughtfully: "Strange person." That person, what did he do? Where did it go? ”

"That man asked us about our dreams...... Dreams, dreams! As he spoke, the leader suddenly hugged his head in fear, his legs half-bent, as if he wanted to squat directly, but forcibly supported his body.

"It's a terrible dream." A girl dressed a little too coolly stood up, perhaps because she had been calm for a longer time, she stood more steady, and her voice was calmer, but her eyes and nose were red, and she looked like she had been crying very much, "The man asked something about the dream, and then—confirmed. ”

Even the calmer Qingliang girl swallowed her saliva fiercely, and after thinking about it for a long time, she continued: "Well, he seems to think that we are joking, saying something strange like a myth, and then, doing something terrible to Xiao Yi, seeing that we didn't mean to change our words, he stopped." ”

Golden Libra followed her gaze and saw Xiao Yi, because she was a basically innocent individual, so Golden Libra didn't notice her before. The girl was dressed much more conservatively, and seemed to be more focused on the face type, which had a lot of decorations, such as heavy eyeshadow, false eyelashes, lipstick, nose rings, and some scarlet wounds.

"......" Golden Libra frowned, a little surprised and disgusted by the behavior of the two-color ball.

Take a closer look, Xiao Yi's position is also a little subtle distance from this group of people, and it seems to deliberately avoid people's sight, curled up, and the moment she heard herself mention herself and raised her head, the eyes of the people around her were clearly not asking for help and weakness, but disgust and pain.

The golden scales nodded, having a general understanding of the source of some of the sin in these people.

But the golden scale did not say anything, but continued to ask: "And then?" Where's that person? ”

“…… I don't know. The leader seemed to calm down, deliberately turned his back to Xiao Yi, and said to the golden scale, "After he confirmed the content of the dream, he muttered a few strange words like 'I'm leaning on it', and then walked out the door." Well, when he opened the door, he looked back - I don't know why, but I think he laughed a little, and it was dark outside the door, and there was a gust of wind and black smoke, and something strange - the howl of a monster? Then he disappeared out the door. ”

"So, so," said a very thin, bespectacled, freckled, template of the character who was bullied at school in the story, standing up and saying in a trembling voice, "You, how did you get in?" The monsters out there, they're scary, right? You-"

After knocking on the window, studying the scenery outside, and confirming that it was something similar to a projection, it did not exist at all, and then turned back to the young men and said, "My name is Golden Libra." I'm a gamer. ”

In an instant, those young people all showed a look of surprise and relaxation, and even Xiao Yi raised his head, with a little more hope in his eyes.

"yes, yes, you're a player, I know!" The leader shouted twice in joy, and then, as if remembering something, he slapped his head, "That's right, mission, mission." I'm an 'NPC that can send quests,' and I have a skill book. Get us out - no, send us home, well, reward-"

"Rewards are based on the number of people who return home last." The bullied template student suggested, "Well—for every one of us who is saved, each of us fulfills one more requirement that is within our means." In addition to that, of course, everything we can give our players to use, we will give it with both hands. I've got a pair of gloves - they're player gear, so I'll give them to you first. ”

[Magic Equipment: Avenger's Forbearance]

[Effect Description: These gloves have the characteristics of being indestructible and can change color at will.] Characters equipped with this glove will master the magic "Flame of Vengeance". Vengeful Flame: Ignites an imperceptible flame of vengeance on a selected target, and as the burning time increases, the target becomes more and more painful without knowing the source, and when the flame of vengeance is extinguished, the target deals total damage X ignition time / 1 minute damage to the caster before it ignites. 】

[Notes: Hate is a terrible seed that grows wildly in fragile soil and then devours the sun.] 】

Taking the gloves, Libra glanced at the bullied template, and he shook his head and smiled a little sadly. Subsequently, the leader and Qingliang Mei, Xiao Yi and passer-by A, who had not spoken beside him and had a low sense of existence, also agreed to the suggestion of the bullied template, stuffed a few skill books and a stone of unknown origin into the hands of the golden scale, and looked at the golden scale with expectant eyes.

Listening to the system prompt in his ear, Golden Libra nodded: "Let's go, I'll take you home." ”
