Chapter 431: Choose One of the Two

The moment I saw those four words, my pupils shrank suddenly, and my body subconsciously took several steps back.

"Drunk, drunk, all ghost towns? Why is the virtual world where the café teleports into the 'True Demon' a ghost town? However, in reality, is there really such a place? Du Deming obviously saw the four words below, and he said with some surprise.

"Hey, Xiao Ming, this is your loneliness. There is a place in our country, and it is called Xudu! Every year, many foreign tourists go to visit, and we already want to go, but we never have the opportunity! But it's normal that you don't know, after all, you have been locked up in a martial arts school to practice martial arts since you were a child, and you don't have much opportunity to contact the outside. Zhang Qiang patted him on the shoulder, looking very sympathetic.

"Yes, I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, but I really haven't been far away, not to mention anything else, I haven't even been out of our city. Or after entering the 'True Demon', it can be regarded as a tour in various games. At present, in the real world, the farthest trip is the last time I went on an outing with Gao Wei and them. Du Deming was not angry, and even began to recall it honestly.

Seeing Zhang Qiang's smug smile, I punched him angrily and looked at Du Deming: "Don't pay attention to this kid, he teases you!" But if you want to talk about Xudu, it is indeed quite famous. However, it is famous all over the world as a ghost town. ”

Speaking of which, the atmosphere became eerie again.

Situ Cao's face was worried, she looked at me and said, "Gao Wei, according to Mina's clues, the best way for us to find out the identity of the owner of the coffee house is to go to the capital for a trip." However, that place is very evil, and it is said that it is really a place for ghosts in the world. Things are getting more and more treacherous. ”

"yes, let's not talk about anything else, we should have 4 and a half days before the next game starts, right? What if something delays us on the way and we can't get back on time? Zhang Qiang also agreed.

Listening to his words, everyone suddenly fell silent again.

Oh, yes!

Time is a real issue.

At this moment, Zhao Qiqi spoke.

"You don't have to worry too much about that. It seems like we've only cleared the game once, so the menu for 'True Demon' has been updated. Instead of where we could only see the next game title, we now seem to be able to see in advance the next two games and the first requirement of the game. Coincidentally, the 'Ghost City of Xudu' is exactly the name of the next game, and its first requirement is for us to go to Xudu within the specified time. I think this may be a hint from the dark, and maybe we can find some clues that we don't know. ”

"Such a coincidence? How strange is that? Listening to Zhao Qiqi's words, I was a little happy in my heart, but after being happy, I was more surprised.

Why did we just find a clue that we could investigate, and "True Demon" just gave us such an opportunity to investigate?

"It's a little strange, this feeling, as if we were deliberately induced to investigate." Wang Yi, who had not spoken, said suddenly.

I sneaked a glance at Wang Yi with my spare eyes and didn't say anything.

Undeniably, he was right.

How could there be such a coincidence?

If someone really induced it, and who is the person hiding behind it?

Is he friend or foe with us?

Or is this a trap at all?

I was thinking nonsense.

Mina saw my struggle, and she smiled, "This time, that's all I can give you clues, and the rest." I think I'll have to wait until you're done with the next game before I can tell you. ”

"Huh? Why? Isn't it okay to finish it all at once now? Zhang Qiang instantly turned his head to look at Mina.

Hearing this, Mina shook her head with a wry smile and explained, "It's not that I don't want to say it. The reason why I am now able to appear to you in the form of holograms is not only thanks to the computer, but also thanks to a kind of solar energy stored in a USB stick. And after telling you for so long, it's almost consumed. In about five minutes or so, the glowing place on the USB flash drive will automatically go out. Just like the phone is out of battery, the energy of the USB flash drive is depleted. You have to put the USB stick in a place where the sun can shine and dry it for five days, and then the energy will be full again, and then we can continue to communicate. ”

"I see. I have one last question, though. I nodded, still looking at Mina.

"What?" Mina looked at me with some confusion.

"You mentioned before that you were bound by the 'True Demon' until not so long ago, that is, now that you are free? Is it? May I ask why? I remember that when we were still in the research institute where your illusion was created, you should have been a part of the 'True Demon', how could you ...... so quickly?"

"Oh, that's what you say! Actually, it's nothing. Mina smiled shallowly, and said lightly: "The reason why I was subject to the 'True Demon' in the past was that I was reluctant to return to the temptation of the real body after a while. But after meeting you, I figured it out. That's why I said at the time, I've made up my mind. And I made up my mind to ......"

"What's it?" Looking at her face, I suddenly became nervous.

"I gave up on the idea of returning my consciousness to the human body. I actually lied at the time. The USB flash drive is not actually a copy of my memories and data, it is the whole of my consciousness. In other words, the USB flash drive is my current body. If I keep coveting the true body, my soul will always be bound by the 'true demon', and if I want my soul to be free, I must pay a certain price. So between soul and body, I chose the former and gave up my body. ”

Mina said it easily, but I saw a shallow bitterness in her smile.

At that moment, my opinion of Mina seemed to change completely.

Smiling at Mina, I said seriously, "Don't worry. We will prove by our actions that you have made the right choice. We'll be sure to help you with your plan. Because, too, we want to be free. ”

The others nodded emphatically.

"Thank you, it's time. It's time for me to go offline, remember to follow my request, put the USB flash drive where the sun can get it, and see you next time. Mina's gaze swept over the group.

After saying that, her body slowly faded, and finally those dazzling white lights disappeared completely.

Looking at the USB flash drive, I exhaled and smiled with relief.

I was about to say something, but Situ Cao's mobile phone rang suddenly.

Situ Cao took out his mobile phone suspiciously.

However, when she saw who the caller was, her expression changed slightly.

Hesitantly clicked on the phone, Situ Cao put the earpiece close to his ear: "Hey? ”

The person on the phone didn't know what was said.

In just a few seconds, her face suddenly changed, and she was as white as paper.

With a click, her phone fell to the ground.
