175 Things You Don't Know
"Is there anything else this fairy doesn't know?" Qiu Tong said coldly to Li Yu.
This otherworldly plane is about to be destroyed, and there should be no secret to Qiu Tong.
It all started with the red snow.
"That's not real snow," He Xuetao showed an unnatural look on his face that had been extremely indifferent for the first time when he mentioned the snow, as if when he recalled the snowflakes of that night, an unbearable memory came to his mind.
"My sister and I, as well as the other people who were with us, were originally ordinary people living quietly in this city. If it weren't for that snow, I'm afraid we would never know each other for the rest of our lives, and we would all live our lives peacefully. β
"That's not real snow!" he repeated again, pushing his glasses and saying, "That's the blood of gods and demons." β
"Blood of gods and demons?" Lu Xu recited the first word he heard, and a puzzled look appeared on his face. However, Xu Tao remained silent, as if he had already expected what He Xuetao would say next.
"A blood-like liquid that contains the power and temperament of gods and demons, and can allow ordinary people to obtain great power in an instantβthis is the blood of gods and demons. β
Lu Xu looked at his palm at this time, remembering the coldness that fell on his palm that night. Indeed, from that night onwards, he had gained tireless physical strength, but this ability was too weak to compare with anyone in front of him.
Moreover, how can the red-eyed ones explain it? How did the red-eyed people who came into contact with snowflakes turn berserk and could tear their flesh apart with their bare hands?
"However, not everyone will have a benign development after coming into contact with the snowflakes, and they can really control the power contained in the blood of gods and demons, and the people who use it for themselves only account for a very small part of the total population, and more mutations are developing in a vicious direction......" He Xuetao paused, his fingers inadvertently clenched into fists.
"I don't know what you call this mutated product, but my companions call it the Heartbreakerβa creature that has lost its own nature and soul, and is obsessed with destroying and killing, like zombies. β
The heartless person He Xuetao said should be the red-eyed person Lu Xu saw, although their names are different, but their descriptions are exactly the same. And Lu Xu also felt that the title of "heartbreaker" should indeed be more appropriate.
"My family has become heartless in front of me. He Xuetao sighed, "Because I couldn't fully control my power at that time, I was almost torn to pieces." But I escaped anyway, and had to kill my own sister, who had become a heartbreaker. β
He Xuetao was silent for a moment after saying this, and Lu Xu also remembered his parents and relatives in his hometown, and he had mixed feelings for a while. Xu Tao was used to seeing life and death, and thought about something expressionlessly. The three of them looked at each other in silence for several minutes.
It wasn't until Xu Tao opened his mouth to speak that the silence was broken, "Let's get to the point." About your team, how you are gathered and how you are scattered. What I need to know is information that I don't know, not something that can be guessed with a little attention. β
He Xuetao nodded, his face swept away the previous decadence, and showed a smile again, and continued: "Then it starts with the disillusionment disappearing overnight." β
"From the moment the Heartbreaker vanished, I seemed to hear a voice calling from within. At first, I thought it was my auditory hallucinations and didn't pay much attention to it, but as the sound became clearer and clearer in my head, I gradually realized that it was not as simple as auditory hallucinations. As I followed the voice out of my hiding place, facing the empty city, alone through the streets that I once knew so well, I finally arrived at a university library. There, I saw a mirror carved from white jade. β
"Mirror?" Xu Tao was stunned.
"Yes, a rectangular mirror five meters high and three meters wide. He Xuetao said: "In front of the mirror, I met the person who integrated us into one team - our captain - Wu Junda. β
"What kind of person is he?" Thinking that since he had chosen to join He Xuetao's team, which was equivalent to acquiescing in their captain, Lu Xu couldn't help but ask.
"What do you say?" He Xuetao cupped his eyes and said: "I look a little sloppy, and it seems to be less tendon than a normal person, but he is a man with a true temperament, and he is a person worthy of entrusting his life, otherwise I would not be able to recognize his captaincy." However, it is also worth knowing that the power he possesses is very strong. β
"Since we've decided to join your team, we don't want to make any more trouble. However, I will definitely consider the character of your captain for myself, and I only intend to use your evaluation as a reference. Xu Tao said calmly, "Let's talk about that mirror, what is that mirror?"
The words were interrupted, and He Xuetao's face did not show any unhappiness, but continued: "I have some questions I want to ask you about that mirror. Since you are also survivors and have powers beyond ordinary people, haven't you heard the call of the underworld Chinese?"
Lu Xu thought back to what he had encountered in the past few days, and replied helplessly: "I haven't heard anything." β
Xu Tao glanced at Lu Xu, but only shook his head indifferently.
"Really?" He Xuetao got the answer from the two, frowned, and said, "Then it can almost be inferred that you and us are not the same kind of people. β
"Oh, what kind of people are we, and what kind of people are you?" asked Xu Tao.
He Xuetao rubbed his temples with one hand and said, "Judging from the information given by that mirror, people like us can draw strength from the 'blood of gods and demons', and we belong to the category that is unique in ten thousand. In that mirror's classification, we are called the 'Chosen One' or 'Sunspots', and we are qualified to acquire acquired powers and are called by the gods. β
"There is also a kind of person who will not cause any mutation after coming into contact with the blood of gods and demons, but will only trigger the latent power in the body. Such people are called 'Born' or 'White Sons', have innate powers, do not sense the call of the gods, and belong to the category of those who rarely see one person in a million. β
"Gods?" The person who interrupted He Xuetao's words this time was Lu Xu, his face was full of doubts at the moment, and he said, "Are you saying that all this happened because of God's manipulation?"
"Your question is hard to explain. He Xuetao said: "Whether it is God's manipulation or not, I can't say, anyway, with the scientific and technological knowledge we know now, we can't answer all these questions, it's better to simply boil it down to gods and ghosts, but it's simple and clear." β
Lu Xu stopped making a sound, but just motioned for He Xuetao to continue.
"That mirror is the bulletin board given by the gods, and if you look at that mirror, you will understand a lot of things in an instant. When I followed the call to find the mirror, I couldn't describe the shock in my heart. After me, dozens of others followed, who, like me, were so shocked by the miracle that they could not speak. β
"In other words, the reason why your team was able to gather was because of a mirror?" asked Xu Tao.
"Yes, although the selection process of the captain is very cumbersome, the reason why our original nearly twenty people were able to gather together was indeed because of a mirror. β
"After our team is combined, there will be some so-called tasks on the mirror every once in a while, which we will be asked to complete, and each time we complete a mission, we will get some points, and the points can be exchanged for various items from the mirror, including food, medicine, weapons, etc. β
"Okay, then we have joined your team now, can we complete the task like you?" Lu Xu asked, after these days, he felt that he could accept no matter how absurd and bizarre things were.
"Actually, you're not officially on our team yet. If you officially join, you must go to the mirror with the captain to make a blood alliance before you can become a member of our team. β
"And let's be honest, this time I asked you to join our team, but I asked you to help our team complete a very dangerous mission, and you will have to take a huge risk because you will not be rewarded with points from this mission. If you want to repent now, I will not stop you. β
"If I'm not mistaken, you guys are the ones who caused the annihilation because of this mission, right?" Xu Tao's face had recovered at this time, he glanced at He Xuetao meaningfully, and asked: "You think about it beautifully, and if you have tested our strength, you will consider our use value." When we meet for the first time, why should I believe you, if we become cannon fodder, where do you want the two of us to cry?"
Lu Xu's face darkened when he heard He Xuetao say that there was a huge risk, and he couldn't help but nod his head a few times after hearing what Xu Tao said.
"Hehe," He Xuetao laughed twice, and continued: "Risks often coexist with benefits, and in addition to point rewards, there are also item rewards in our tasks. If this mission can be completed, how about we give you the reward items?"
Xu Tao was still thinking about countermeasures, but Lu Xu suddenly remembered something, looked at He Xuetao and asked, "I remember you said that there is a way to restore this world to its original state!
He Xuetao was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Lu Xu to ask about this at this time, and then smiled again, and said: "One of the highest rewards given by the gods to the ultimate victor is called 'World Recast'. Of course, it's not that easy to win this reward. β
After He Xuetao's words were finished, Xu Tao suddenly turned his gaze to Lu Xu and asked, "What's the matter?" Do you want to take a risk and participate in their mission? Whatever you decide, I can go with you. β
Lu Xu looked at Xu Tao, who looked serious, then at He Xuetao, gritted his teeth, and said one word: "Okay!"
