System Prompt: Congratulations to the trialist Yi Xuan, for completing the epic story quest Light and Darkness, due to your great promotion of the game's plot, you have obtained 50,000 reward points, and your experience has been recorded in the history of the game. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info you are now an epic hero of the entire continent of Eras.

"Yi Xuan, did you hear that? You're the hero of the Aylas continent."

"Master Yi, that's great."

System, Edward, the player kept making noise in Yi Xuan's ears, but he didn't know why Yi Xuan looked at the jubilant faces in front of him, but he didn't feel happy at all, his brain fell into a strange trance for a short time, as if a person was doing things step by step, and then he was stunned for a while, and suddenly found that everything around him had changed, and then suddenly he didn't know where he was.

At this time, although Yi Xuan opened his eyes to see the salute of the players in front of him, and Edward's smiling face that nodded at him meaningfully, he forgot for a moment what they were celebrating.

Surrounded by everyone, Yi Xuan walked towards the outside of the tower step by step, following the crowd through the corridor, following the crowd down the stairs, and following the crowd into the portal, the dark tower was full of monster corpses, some were cut to a blur of flesh and blood, and some were burned black, Yi Xuan's eyes crossed over their bodies, and he only heard his own slightly heavy breathing in his ears.

"Elder Yi." Mary ran over happily, and then Lexa, Yang Kai and other heroes who were left behind also returned to the team, and after the Shadow God was sealed, the monster leaders who still insisted on fighting also lost control and stopped resisting, so they were all killed quickly.

These heroes all heard the prompts of the system and knew that Yi Xuan had won the final victory, and everyone rushed up to congratulate, but when everyone saw Yi Xuan's face, no one cheered, everyone cautiously asked the people around Yi Xuan, and everyone shook their heads in confusion and said they didn't know.

Yang Kai looked at the team, immediately understood something in his heart, walked a few steps quickly to Yi Xuan's side, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, ,......" Yi Xuan still walked forward mechanically, as if he didn't hear his words, Yang Kai was in a hurry, took two steps, and grabbed his shoulder, "Lao Yi"

Yi Xuan then stood up, turned around, looked at Yang Kai's face, seemed to be carefully identifying something, and said after a while: "Yang Kai, what's wrong?" ”

Yang Kai breathed a sigh of relief, it's good that he still knows people, how afraid he is that there will be something wrong with them, so that Yi Xuan's memory will disappear, but Yi Xuan's purpose here is a secret, Yang Kai pulled him forward a few steps, and then asked cautiously: "What about Zhao Beifeng?" Did that guy come down? "Actually, Yang Kai didn't see Zhao Beifeng in the team, and he already knew in his heart that he was not far from ten, but he just wanted Yi Xuan to confirm it again.

Yi Xuan shook his head a little indifferently: "Zhao Beifeng is dead," this sentence is like a slap in the face, although it is already a fact, but when he said it, he still felt as if his chest had been beaten, and Yi Xuan muttered again, "Zhao Beifeng, he ...... He's dead. It seems that this is the only way to determine this matter, and also to determine it in one's own heart.

Yang Kai also felt that his heart was sinking, but fortunately, he was mentally prepared, patted Yi Xuan's shoulder, and said helplessly: "You have done your best brother, this is his life, you can also look at it." ”

Yi Xuan nodded, shook his head again, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said to Yang Kai: "It's okay, it's okay, in fact, in the final analysis, Zhao Beifeng and I are just ordinary friends." ”

Although Yi Xuan said this, Yang Kai still felt the pain in his heart when he saw his performance, and at the same time he also had a deeper understanding of Yi Xuan's character, just an ordinary friend, Yi Xuan stuck a knife in both sides for an ordinary friend, and even risked his life to single out the God of Shadows, which shows that Yi Xuan is really a brother who can be friends.

Yang Kai didn't say anything more, thinking in his heart that if he encountered such a situation in the future, with Yi Xuan's brother, even if there were no worries, the two continued to walk side by side outside the tower, and a group of players and NPCs behind them looked at the backs of the two of them, and seemed to feel an unprecedented solemnity and emotion, at this time, Edward, who was also an elder, became inconspicuous.

Yi Xuan's mind was still thinking about what he had just said, ordinary friends, that's right, his understanding of Zhao Beifeng is actually very shallow, except for the cup of soy milk that Zhao Beifeng took at the beginning, knowing that he seems to live in the capital, he doesn't even know Zhao Beifeng's family situation, he doesn't know his original career in the real world, he doesn't know if he has a girlfriend, and he doesn't even know whether he likes men or women, from beginning to end, his understanding of Zhao Beifeng is all limited to the game world, It can only be regarded as the degree of understanding between teammates, and it is not even familiar.

Then why did I feel so much about his death? Yi Xuan looked at the monsters on the ground numbly, and suddenly understood, he was not for Zhao Beifeng, because when he saw those monsters on the ground, he actually had a sense of pathos, he was for himself, Zhao Beifeng's death was like a revelation, indicating his future ending, you know, he has always had a blind trust in Zhao Beifeng, because Zhao Beifeng's performance was too sharp and too wise, which always made Yi Xuan feel that there was nothing he couldn't think of. There is nothing he can't solve, but at this moment, Zhao Beifeng died in his arms, which made him deeply understand that this game world is much more cruel than he imagined, even if it is a person like Zhao Beifeng, it is inevitable that there will be death.

And what about yourself? At what point will you inexplicably die at the hands of those fanatical players, or fall under the calculations of the system? The power he has now seems to be strong, but under the constraints of the rules of the system, he is actually weak and powerless, and he may die at any time, he thought as he mechanically walked out of the door of the Dark Tower.

As soon as the dark tower came out, the cheers of the mountain immediately reached everyone's ears, and there were thousands of resurrected players in the camp, who felt sorry for themselves and were deeply happy for the brothers in the tower.

The first to come out of the tower is the NPC hero, in the cheers of the players, raise their arms and shout, everyone shouted frantically, venting the excitement in their hearts and the fear of just experiencing the battle of life and death, and then the players also poured out, the army of players on both sides mixed together, cheering, jumping, the inside because they were recorded in history, the outside because of the participation in such a historical moment, with the joint efforts of everyone, finally completed this epic battle.

Yi Xuan looked at the happy crowd in front of him a little blankly, but his mood was low without a little fluctuation, today he celebrated because he killed Zhao Beifeng, and tomorrow he may celebrate because he killed himself.

"Master Yi, you must return to the empire with me, and the high-ranking officials of the empire will reward you for your deeds." Sir Lexa excitedly came to Yi Xuan and shouted loudly, but Yi Xuan's face only showed a slight smile, he didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward around him, leaving Lexa with a blank face.

Yi Xuan sighed, maybe those NPCs who don't know anything about reality are happy, they live in this world, this world is reality for them, or those players are not bad, they live in another world, this game world is just a temporary pastime for them, and soon they can go back, and what about their real world? Maybe I'll never go back.

He walked to a small hillside, stood on the hillside, looked back at the people who were celebrating all over the hill, and felt as if he and they lived in two worlds, they did not understand the pain in their hearts, and he could not integrate into their happiness.

"That, are you Master Yi?" Suddenly, a timid girl's voice reached his ears, Yi Xuan turned his head in response, but saw a beautiful female elf player standing behind him, looking at him with a look of awe and expectation, just like those little fans waiting for idols in the real world. She has a pair of big eyes as clear as a fawn, although she knows that her appearance is sweet and beautiful, which is a unique sign of the entire elf race, but it still makes people's hearts soften when they encounter such a gaze.

Yi Xuan nodded: "Something?" ”

After confirming Yi Xuan's identity, the girl was obviously excited, and then said in a slightly nervous voice: "That, I have a task item here, you can see if it's your thing." "Because Yi Xuan has just killed the God of Shadows, even the ranks of the alliance now have a lot of respect for him.

The girl said and handed Yi Xuan something that was obviously a letter, Yi Xuan frowned strangely, in his impression, he didn't have a correspondence with anyone at this time.

"Where did you get that?" Yi Xuan asked strangely.

"This is a quest item I found in the tower, and the system prompt asked me to return this quest to you." Speaking of this, the little girl suddenly covered her mouth, because she accidentally said the word system prompt, and she didn't know if it would be too strange for this NPC, but seeing that Yi Xuan didn't say anything special, she put her heart down.

What you found out when you were fighting monsters? Yi Xuan's heart suddenly moved, could it be ......, he suddenly reached out and took the letter, and the action was so big that the girl was also startled, and at the same time, the sound of the system prompt sounded in his ears.

System Prompt: Obtain a mysterious letter from the quest item T, please give the reward to the person who returns the quest. At the same time, Yi Xuan also saw a vermilion lacquer seal on the envelope and several large characters in regular script on it: Elder Yi Xuan of the Holy Light Knights personally opened. This is an encrypted letter, which means that the player can't see the content of the letter, which is not counting, those words Yi Xuan is too familiar, this is definitely Zhao Beifeng's handwriting, because they want to test the relationship between the system, at the beginning of the plan, Yi Xuan and Zhao Beifeng were through many letters, so they are too familiar with Zhao Beifeng's handwriting.

Yi Xuan's heart was excited, his hands trembled a little, receiving Zhao Beifeng's letter at this time meant a lot to him, maybe Zhao Beifeng had calculated this step, maybe things would take a turn for the better, and even more, would this letter be about introducing the resurrection of Zhao Beifeng?

"Elder Yi Xuan?" The elf girl looked at Yi Xuan looking at the letter in a daze, her face was happy and shocked, and she shouted out with some worry.

"Huh?" Yi Xuan came back to his senses, and suddenly found that the girl was still there, remembering the system prompt just now, knowing that he still had a reward that had not been issued, he rummaged through the package, and casually took out a piece of silver quality equipment and threw it to the girl.

"Ah, thank you, Elder Yi." The girl never dreamed that it was just a letter delivery task, and she could get such a rich reward, which obviously made her feel extra surprised, took the equipment, and left happily.

Yi Xuan hurriedly opened the vermilion lacquer and pulled out the letter inside, his heart was pounding, it seemed to be more exciting than receiving a love letter, he took a deep breath and calmed down, Yi Xuan unfolded the letter.

Yi Xuan:

Hello, I don't have much time, because it's been difficult for me to recover my will in recent times, so don't be surprised when you see that the end of the letter is not finished.

If you're already here, then I'm sure you already know the fact that I'm possessed by the God of Shadows, it's a long story, but it can only be said that the system has too much control over us, it just allows the God of Shadows to possess me, instead of directly turning me into the God of Shadows, and I should be thankful, because although I know that there is no chance, I can always resist.

Well, to get down to business, if I hadn't been with you when you read this letter, then obviously I'd be dead, and it's not a result I didn't guess, it's just an outcome I don't want to see.

You may be secretly saddened by my death at this time, but not necessarily for me, for the desperation of fighting against the system, right? I don't want to give you any hope here, because I am really angry and disappointed in your failure, no wonder some people say that they are not afraid of god-like opponents, only afraid of pig-like teammates, if my whole plan is carried out by me, it will definitely not end like this, do you know what is a race against time? Do you know what it means to race against time? Do you know how much I suffer when you're out there?

I really didn't expect that you would have wasted so much time on the template of going up one level, and if I were your boss, you would have been fired a hundred times by now

Hehe, okay, I'm done venting, I've been really depressed lately, you don't have to take it too seriously, I believe you should have done your best, just comfort myself like this, I know I can't have high demands on everyone.

I'm going to tell you a secret, a very important secret, remember when we were chatting before, I told you about my guesses about this game world? If you remember, then you should remember that there were three conjectures I made at the beginning, the first two have already been told to you, and the third one is so absurd that I didn't tell you, and you didn't ask at the time.

I have to say that you are a person who really lacks curiosity, which is a big plus, but also a fatal flaw, which makes you miss a lot of things

I thought that the third conjecture could not be true, but in hindsight, it seems that only this conjecture is in line with the truth of reality, although this truth is so cruel that it even subverts your entire worldview. After this period of experience in the game, I have confirmed my guess more and more, and now, are you very curious about my last guess?

Then I regret to tell you that you will never know what the truth is, and if I make it out of the Tower of Darkness alive, I will tell you myself

But alas, since you have seen this letter, it proves that you have failed, you bastard, why should you fail? Do you know that your failure means that I am gone, I don't want to leave like this, I am only in my twenties, I just hung up, I put all my hopes on you, but you failed me, don't you feel ashamed?

In order to punish you, and at the same time to save you, I have decided not to tell you my last conjecture, and let you spend the rest of your life in guilt and doubt. Anyway, sooner or later, you will know the day, and when you know, it will hit you harder, hahahahaha, wahahaha, my Shadow King is really smart. (The last sentence is scribbled out again.) ）

The letter ended here, and it was obvious that the will of the God of Shadows had once again eroded Zhao Beifeng's will, Yi Xuan took a heavy breath, there was a feeling of weakness in his heart, seeing Zhao Beifeng's accusation against himself, as well as his desire for life, which made his already uncomfortable heart even more painful, originally he could persuade himself, this was Zhao Beifeng's life, but seeing Zhao Beifeng's almost desperate moan, he didn't even dare to think about the last bit of comfort, life, Is there really such a thing as a life in this world? Could this just be a self-soothing excuse?

Yi Xuan's hand drooped, the letter in his hand fell to the ground with his movements, and disappeared in a flash, this letter is a task item, it is impossible to throw it away at will, it has automatically entered Yi Xuan's package, whether Yi Xuan wants it or not, it is lying there.

Yi Xuan staggered and walked down the hillside, he wanted to find a quiet place now, think about it, the camp is not good, it is too chaotic, he wants to stay away from here, the farther away the better.

His mind kept repeating Zhao Beifeng's resentful words, as well as the third possibility he said, as time passed, those words gradually disappeared, leaving only the third possibility, what is it? Being able to change one's worldview may be about the world, but how can the things of this world destroy one's worldview? So is it about your own real world? But how can you find real-world problems here?

Yi Xuan was really puzzled, his ears finally quieted down, the reason for this desolation was the relationship between the god of shadows, there was very little life in the wild, and there was only the sound of whining wind in his ears, which made Yi Xuan's heart finally calm down, and found a small dirt slope leeward, Yi Xuan sat down, and watched in a daze as a piece of weeds in front of him were shaking by the wind.
