Chapter 20: The Doctor's Decision

"What's going on?" Dr. Oberstein, who was next to the crystal container, angrily tore apart the pieces of data, as if he were an angry lion, roaring around.

The "Creator God" replied to Father's cries in his usual mechanical voice, "Great Dr. Oberstein, the data shows that love has returned to normal, perhaps it is a problem with some of the instruments. ”

"Something wrong with the instrument? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? The Doctor pointed to the precision instruments around him, and said angrily: "Everything here is my masterpiece of invention, and no one knows them better than me." It's you," he said, gesturing at the huge display hanging above the massive lab, "and don't forget that I'm your Father, and I know everything about you." Don't think you can hide from me to do some small things. All I have to do is do it, and everything will be completely erased and erased, although this will keep the entire game system out of control for a few days, but I don't care about this, you know it. Besides, I could have created another 'god' to replace you in a few days. ”

"......" and "Creation God" were silent for a moment, as if analyzing the weight of the doctor's words. The supercomputer system dissected the truth of the threat with the world's astonishing processing speed, and it quickly came to a conclusion, but it was not what it wanted.

"I'm sorry, great Dr. Oberstein, but I didn't mean to hide anything about Ling Ai's unusual behavior."

The Doctor was surprised by the other party's frankness, who said that computers are emotionless machines, and that they are just as fearful as long as they threaten their own survival, even though they don't necessarily understand the meaning of fear. A supercomputer that is feared is easier to control than a dead brain. It's the doctor who swears that he can create another supercomputer, but a supercomputer with a human touch is not so easy to create. As a Father, he naturally has absolute overwhelming liliang, and he is naturally not afraid of the supercomputer betraying him.

The "God of Creation" continues: "Ling Ai suddenly awakened while you were resting, and insisted on meeting the man named Reynolds. And Ling Ai doesn't want you to know about this, Doctor, so it's not like I'm trying to hide it. In the procedure of executing orders, Ling Ai's instructions are second only to the doctor, and if you don't take the initiative to do so, doctor, I can only follow Ling Ai's orders. ”

The doctor frowned, "Putting aside the order beforehand, you said Avril went to see that little person?" Although she has obtained some soul energy, she is still a long way from resurrection, and it is her consistent style to be so reckless and reckless in not cherishing her hard-won soul energy. But when Weishenme woke up, it wasn't me who wanted to see, but the foreign man she had never met? ”

"Maybe it's because of the link of the soul." The supercomputer said paradoxically, "After all, the man named Renault is the first player to complete the soul sacrifice so far, and Ling Ai is the one who benefits from the sacrifice, and the fate of the two is linked." Perhaps this is the so-called destiny of you human beings! ”

The doctor was a little displeased, "It's not 'you humans', pay attention to your words. ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you!" "The creator God" humbly said, "You are above the 'God', and the 'God' has to bow his noble head before you." ”

"Okay, don't say anything about flattery, you said that the fate of that mortal is tied to Avril?"

"Yes, data analysis is true. So let the soul of love pass through the 4D crystal wall barrier we set up and appear directly in the space of Purgatory mode. ”

"What's the deal with all that anomalous data?" The doctor asked, a string of red characters popped up on the crystal container of his finger, these data are the indicators of Avril's various physical fitness data, and red represents warning.

"In addition to maintaining the physiology of love by maintaining potions and nutrient solutions, the most important thing is to rely on the soul energy invented by you to repair the life force, and when the soul of love is separated from this perfect body, it is not surprising that various indicators are abnormal. In fact, according to the data given to me by the doctor, the physical body is just a container for the soul, and a soul that is strong enough can completely break away from the dependence on the physical body and become an eternal existence. 'The body returns to the earth, and the soul is immortal' is the true meaning. ”

"How can a machine made up of metal instruments and programming code understand the greatest desire of a father? Needless to say, since Avril's soul has returned to the crystal vessel, I will not delve into your faults. ”

"What about the mortal named Renault?" The "God of Creation" asked cautiously, his voice very low, not knowing whether he was afraid of the doctor or afraid of being heard by the girl sleeping in the container.

Oberstein looked at his beloved daughter lovingly, and after a long while, he said, "Let's do as planned!" ”

"Yes." The supercomputer replied crisply.

After the huge display screen turned off automatically, Oberstein stroked the crystal glass that was as smooth as a mirror, and sighed softly: "It seems that the soul realm is not as simple as I thought, maybe I should give the man named Renaud a chance to live." But, dear Avril, I will never forget the misfortunes that have happened to you in the past. You have to remember that no man in the world can be trusted except Dad. They just want to harness you, control you, bully you, and hurt you. Only Dad truly loves you. ”

A little bit of crystal blue light suddenly flashed in the clear crystal container, and it was a teardrop that flowed from Avril's closed left eye. I just don't know why she cried.

……

Renaud slowly stood up, and a half-dry, half-wet red liquid could be seen on the ground where he was lying down, which was the blood he had lost. Renault, who had healed, had no scars on his body, his two-handed greatsword in his hand, and he didn't even glance at the pool of blood, and walked straight to a shadow. It was a shadow that existed in the wall of light, and the shadow trembled as Renault approached.

Renault took out the dagger of the divine attribute, the blade of the dagger that was originally flowing with holy light had long been dimmed, and the silver metal material was covered with a faint layer of rust, which was a characteristic of the equipment that was durable and scrapped. The dagger is erased from all of its properties and lethality, and unless a blacksmith is found to repair the weapon, it is equivalent to a piece of scrap metal.

It seems that not everything that happens in dreams is unreal, weapons are scrapped, wounded, and even death become real. Without the help of the goddess, Renaud's body would have become a piece of dust in purgatory.

Dropping the rusty dagger on the ground, he raised his sword and plunged it into the shadow, which immediately squeaked and screamed, and in a few moments, the black aura around it gradually faded, revealing a creature the size of a mouse. The two green eyes did not match the size of the body, the smooth skin surface did not have a single hair, and the short limbs kept struggling to dig the ground, but a long tentacle that grew on the top of the head was pressed to the ground by the two-handed sword that was taken out. Renault was interested in the tentacles that were the length of his body, and the sharp tip of his sword could not cut it.

"Huh? Shadow Nightmare!" When attacking an unknown monster, the player can get some of the information of the unknown monster, and when the player kills it, they will get the full information. Renault learned from the game data that the Shadow Nightmare is not an ordinary monster, it belongs to the super elite category, and its status is second only to lord-level monsters. It's a pity that the information is incomplete, but from the tip of the iceberg, we can't get a glimpse of its full true appearance. Renault turned the hilt of his sword, and the sharp blade easily split the Shadow Nightmare in two.

The game system immediately prompts: The monster data has been captured.

Shadow Nightmare: A level 70 monster, a legendary super elite monster that devours human dreams, it can emit weak radio waves through the tentacles on its head, affect and control the brain waves of intelligent creatures, and create a dream space out of thin air. With zero combat power, extremely slow speed, and fragile defense, it is the most vulnerable high-level monster.

After reviewing the information, Renault let out a long sigh of relief. Shadow Nightmare is actually Renault's most terrifying monster in Yujian, in Purgatory. In terms of combat power, it is inferior to even the lowest-level undead skeletons, but the alternative way of fighting puts Renault in a complete desperate situation. Shadow Nightmares are born with the gift of spying on the weaknesses of the human heart and exploiting them. And in this suppression-level purgatory mode, other powerful undead are forcibly suppressed at around level 10, with limited destructive power and skills, but almost no impact on Shadow Nightmares.

Because dreams have no hierarchy.

After Renault absorbs the Nightmare's soul power, he adds the only loot, the Nightmare's tentacles, to his inventory. I don't know what Nightmares' tentacles are for, but for Super Elite monsters, anything dropped can be sold for a good price. There may be unexpected gains, but only if Renault makes it out of damn purgatory alive.

Renault thought of the goddess full of divine aura, if Claudius and Cleo were the illusion created by the Shadow Nightmare to spy on his heart, then who were the goddesses? From the way the nightmare cowered just now, it can be seen that the Holy Light has a substantial killing effect on it. A goddess can't have been created by a nightmare.

How the hell did she get into the dream?

Renault patted his head and stopped thinking about the unanswered question. The figure of the goddess in his head made Renaud feel guilty about Cleo from the bottom of his heart. Obviously Cleo is her favorite!

It can't be a knee-jerk misunderstanding of Cleo because of the illusion created by the nightmare, right? Renault shook his head vigorously, trying to shake the ridiculous idea away.

Finally calming down, Renault checked the props and equipment on his body. Aside from the Divine Dagger Scrap, there are very few healing bandages left, but the durability of the two-handed sword is the highest of all weapon types.

Now, Renault can only pray secretly that he will not be scrapped in the next battle, otherwise, it will really be over. The only thing to be thankful for is that the HP and stamina are restored as before, as long as the battle is over, slowly regain the HP by resting, if it is still alive.

I don't know when the long road will end, and Renault's heart has stopped like water. He firmly believes that if he persists, he will be able to leave this place one day, because a goddess is watching his movements.

That's Renault's new motivation, oh yes, and a reunion with Cleo.
