Chapter 5: The Chosen One

"If the contractor number 5106 meets the conditions for opening the red door, does it consume 5 space contribution points and 50,000 blood points to enter?"

Zhou Qi was stunned when he heard this, what the hell is the red door, he has never heard anyone talk about it before. It's just a blood point, but you still need to consume 5 space contribution points?

Space contribution is hard-won and precious. It is not only a necessary condition for the contractor to apply for legalization. There are also many special uses. Since the last battlefield mission, I have experienced life and death several times, and I have saved less than 80 points by fighting desperately. This time you have to remove 5 points. Suddenly he fell into a contradiction.

However, after thinking about it, Zhou Qi's eyes lit up.

Regardless of what the red door is, since the barrier to entry is set so high, it seems that not everyone has the opportunity to enter it. Maybe it can bring you unexpected benefits.

And it's an opportunity to learn more about space!

After a moment of weighing, Zhou Qi already had the answer in his heart.

"Enter!"

"Contractor No. 5106 chooses to enter, the contribution points are deducted, the blood points are deducted, and the teleportation starts in 5 seconds. 5.4.3......”

As the countdown draws to an end. The feeling of dizziness that I felt when I returned instantly came to my mind. The room, the desk, gradually blurred in the field of vision, and after a moment, it was already dark.

I don't know how long it took, when Zhou Qi opened his eyes, it was like the deep void of the universe, and there was silence and gloom all around. However, there was no sense of vanity under his feet. Just like stepping on the ground, the weight of the body can be clearly sensed.

"Isn't this inside the Red Gate?"

Just when he was in doubt!

"Buzz!"

Then there was a roar like mana fluctuations. Ahead was at the end of the darkness, and a little scarlet blood-colored light came into view, and it looked so dazzling in the endless darkness.

Under the faint red light, he could vaguely see it. I was on a platform with a radius of a kilometer. Between the platform and the red dot is a passage less than two feet wide that can only be walked by one person. On both sides of the passage, there is an endless abyss-like darkness!

Zhou Qi stared at the little red light that seemed to be out of reach, hesitated slightly, raised his feet and stepped onto the passage.

Since I have paid the price, I have to find out what to do!

Darkness is inherently terrifying, especially in a passage where the slightest mistake can lead to falling into the Endless Void.

Hesitation and consideration seem to be invisible ropes, binding the heart and the footsteps. He moved unusually slowly.

For a long time, I looked at the long road ahead that seemed to never end. Zhou Qi frowned slightly. I was about to look behind me to see how far I had come.

However, his inner instinct told him that if he turned back now, he would definitely pass by something important!

"Will this be a test?" Zhou Qi paused, stopped, and muttered to himself. After taking a deep breath, his gaze stopped at the passage under his feet and looked up ahead!

Suddenly!

With a little under his feet, he began to gallop forward at a hundred times the speed of the previous one!

After experiencing the multiple baptisms of blood and fire, how can a mere passage make him retreat and make him hesitate?

The firmer your heart, the more calm your feet are, and the faster your body will move!

On the narrow passage, I saw a faint figure moving forward like the wind, running straight into the depths of the dark void.

The red dot gradually zooms in on the field of view!

It's close! It's closer!

I don't know how long it took. When Zhou Qi stopped again. Standing on a large platform the size of the starting point at the beginning of the journey!

In the middle of the platform, an oval gate of light with a height of more than 100 meters and as scarlet as blood stood in front of him like a behemoth!

This is the Red Door?

Zhou Qi gasped slightly, barely calming the shock in his heart. Raising his head and staring at the huge light gate for a moment, he jumped into it with a little more force under his feet!

With the huge light gate swaying slightly. As if throwing himself into the water, Zhou Qi only felt that his body was instantly wrapped in the power of time and space. Then everything happened in front of me. It's like traveling through time and space into another strange world.

Candles, countless candles.

The flickering flames filled the field of vision like stars in the sky.

Mystery auction house?

Space Rare Item Shop?

Or will it be a special mission scenario?

Before entering, he had guessed countless possibilities in his mind, what would be waiting for him behind the red door?

However, he did not expect it at all. As the huge red door disappears behind him, a hall with candles on all four walls will appear!

The ground, which covers the size of a football field, is as smooth as a mirror, and it seems to be made of whole boulders, and there is not a single splicing gap in sight.

The four walls that stood tall seemed to have been distorted by time and space, making the top of the hall seem to be connected to the void, and the end could not be seen at a glance.

Under the shadow of the candle, Zhou Qi looked around and found that he was standing in the center.

He was the only one in the empty hall!

Quiet! The surroundings are surprisingly quiet, and can even be described as dead silence!

Suddenly in such an empty environment, Zhou Qi couldn't help but feel nervous. The figure slowly turned in place, observing the movement while he secretly raised his guard in his heart in case something unexpected happened.

"I feel your uneasiness."

An old, deep voice suddenly echoed through the hall as if it had spanned countless time and space!

"Who!"

Zhou Qi was suddenly shocked! Like a rabbit with an arrow, if it weren't for the rational reminder that he was in space at the moment, he almost couldn't help but flip his hand and show his blade!

"Compared to the previous six people, you are very cautious."

"The first six? So I'm the seventh person to be here? Zhou Qi calmed his beating heart, and after a moment of silence, he asked out loud.

"Prudence keeps you from danger, prudence makes you lack ambition."

"Ambition?"

The owner who sensed the voice did not seem to have any ill will towards him. Zhou Qi gradually regained his composure. Ask again.

"Ambition is the fruit of desire, and the thirst for power is the source of its breeding. The only option that you don't want to be dominated is to become the one who dominates. You can make a choice. ”

Zhou Qi frowned. The words spoken by the old voice sounded very obscure, but they did not prevent himself from understanding the meaning. His intuition told him that as long as he said yes, maybe everything about himself would change drastically!

However, the greater the benefit, the more proportional the effort must be! What kind of price do you have to pay for gaining the so-called rights?

"What do I need to do?"

Zhou Qi pondered for a moment and looked up at the ceiling that seemed to extend into the void. Shen Sheng asked.

"Mission." The old voice was silent for a long time, and the answer was only two simple words!

Mission? Zhou Qi raised his eyebrows.

If behind this voice is the consciousness of the nightmare space, does the mission mean that you need to perform a special task according to the will of the space? What is the space doing this for? Also, why yourself?

Zhou Qi thought of this, and somehow, Chen Junzhuo's figure suddenly appeared in his mind inexplicably.

"Is the sixth person to come here Chen Junzhuo?" Thinking about it, Zhou Qi asked tentatively.

Silence, long silence.

The voice seemed to be far away, and it seemed as if he was the only one left in the empty hall.

However, just when Zhou Qi thought that the conversation was over.

"Give me your answer, Contractor."

The old man's voice did not change at first glance compared to before, but his tone was obviously a little more unquestionable.

At the same time, the air in the hall seemed to be stagnant, and an infinite coercion was like an invisible mountain quietly descending overhead!

Inexplicable fear and despair surged from Zhou Qi's heart in an instant!

Once again, his intuition told him! Once you make a wrong answer, the next second, what awaits you is destruction!

What about the good choice?

As the coercion becomes more and more obvious! The feeling of danger is getting stronger!

Since entering the space, this is the closest he feels to death!

"I accept!" Just when he felt that he was about to be unable to bear it, Zhou Qi opened his mouth and gave the answer loudly!

"A wise choice."

The moment the voice sounded, the oppressive, stagnant air seemed to begin to flow again.

Zhou Qi only felt that he was like a drowning man and breathed air again. Inexplicably relieved! It was only then that he realized that his back had already been soaked in cold sweat.

"The mission is carried by the imprint. Listen, wait. ”

"Wait, last question?" Zhou Qi gasped violently, and hurriedly asked loudly before his voice completely dissipated.

"Why do you have to charge to enter the Red Gate?"

It seemed that he didn't expect Zhou Qi to ask such a strange question, and after a long silence, the old man's voice sounded again.

"Miracles and creations, there is never a lack of greed and curiosity in the heart."

Zhou Qi listened, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. Collecting contributions, and blood points, is it just to make yourself think it is profitable. Voluntarily taking the bait? If that's the case! Is there anything more cheating than that?

Just as he was feeling guilty in his heart, the familiar feeling of weightlessness came again.

When his eyes returned to clarity, Zhou Qi suddenly found that he had returned to the study of the apartment. On the table, the pen and ink are not dry. What I have just experienced is like a dream, both real and incomparably illusory.

Zhou Qi hurriedly swept his divine sense over his body and found that there was nothing abnormal in his body. The attributes have not changed at all.

However, when his eyes stayed on the heraldic panel, he found that there was a gray number "7" quietly on the side of the number!

Just as he discovered the number, the spatial cue immediately sounded in his mind.

"Contractor No. 5106 has been granted the Chosen Candidate Alternate status, and the trial mission will be released after the next mission world ends. Mission complete, number 5106 will be automatically promoted to Junior Chosen One. ”

"Warning! Contractor No. 5106 is not allowed to disclose his identity and red door information to other contractors in any form, and the consequences will be erased! ”

Silently staring at the scarlet words that flashed through his mind. Zhou Qi got up from his chair, walked slowly to the window, looked at the city's streetscape, and fell into deep thought.

It should not be an accident that Space chooses itself as the Chosen One! But what is the reason?

With the doubt in his heart, he couldn't help but think back to the scene in the lost temple in the world of unequaled.

At that time, after seeing a huge image floating in the air through the eyes on the totem pole, he suddenly received a huge mental impact and was seriously injured. Being able to pass through the mission world and carry out such a powerful mental disturbance is not possible except for spatial awareness. Could it be that from then on, I was noticed by the space?

Why did the will of space fall silent when he mentioned Chen Junzhuo's name? Could it be that he was right, Chen Junzhuo is really a chosen one?
