Chapter 170: Gateless Hell (10)
In the desert under the moon, Li Mengxi wielded a fiery red spear, showing the aesthetics of slowness vividly and vividly in every move. It is slow and not stagnant, like the rotation of Tai Chi, and like a long flowing water.
It's incredible, he is obviously wielding a murder weapon, but he can get comfort and tranquility under his gaze.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sudden applause broke the quiet atmosphere, and Li Mengxi's movements finally came to an abrupt end. He slowly converged from his lunge to a proper stance, and as he split his spear into two swords and withdrew them at his waist, he turned in the direction from which the applause came.
The person who applauded, as Li Mengxi guessed at the moment he heard the applause, was the person who had made an appointment, Richard.
"Good evening. Li Mengxi raised his voice and greeted with a smile, "I have a strong sense of dΓ©jΓ vu." β
"Yes, but my two strokes are not as good as your Chinese kung fu. I heard that Chinese kung fu pays attention to something called 'artistic conception', isn't it like you just now? Laughing, Richard gestured with his hands, but it was very nondescript.
Seeing this, Li Mengxi couldn't help but smile.
"I don't know if it's an artistic conception or not, but sometimes when you are highly concentrated, you will feel something very ethereal that is different from usual, as if you are soaking in just the right warm water, and the blood in your body is flowing but not boiling, showing a balance between movement and stillness. β
"Hmm...... To be honest, I don't understand what you're saying at all. But I also had the feeling you said, at that time, it was as if the world was in control, and it was indeed very mysterious. However, mybrother, you should feel as strong as you should all the time. β
Li Mengxi was stunned for a moment, and then he pursed his lips and laughed when he noticed that this sentence should be a joke.
"I'm just occasionally, occasionally. β
"That's right, if you can have such a mysterious feeling casually, then you have to do it. However, even if that's not the case, you're really too good to be mybrother. I'm not going to say 'all-player first' yet, but what I can confirm after playing with you this time is that at least no one I know is better than you. β
"Hehehe. Li Mengxi laughed awkwardly, "By the way, how are you, it's okay, right?"
"There's Miss Lomaria, what can you do? But, my brother, even if I let you do it, you won't be so ruthless, right?"
"Hahaha, what's this......" Li Mengxi scratched his head embarrassedly, "I was too involved for a while, and I had to send it when I was ready to fly, I'm sorry." β
"No, I'm sorry, I'm supposed to say it to you. β
"As long as the end result is good, I don't mind letting you take advantage of it. But can the results be good this time?"
Hearing this, Richard took a deep breath.
"The reason why our four guilds are targeted by other guilds is ultimately fear, and their efforts so far pale in comparison to the rewards we have received for our achievements. If this fear is allowed to ferment, sooner or later it will turn out of control. We must make a dΓ©tente before then. β
"That's it?"
"Not bad. The easiest way to get rid of fear is to let everyone know that the object is not as scary as you think. The four guilds need to be challenged and defeated, but this enemy must not be one of the other eleven guilds, or their unified banner. β
"So, you let their contradictions ferment and use this method to divide them because you don't believe them?"
"Yu Gong, since I am in charge of this plan, I am responsible for the fate of all the members of the four major guilds. Why do we have to be hostile just because we are better than others? Are we not risking our lives, or are we not working hard? This is public and private, my brother, do you think I should trust them?"
β......β
"If they were to defeat us, I could think of no less than ten scenarios in which things could get out of our control and go in the worst-case scenario. Even if it was a delusional possibility, I couldn't risk it. β
But that's just a lie. β
"A white lie is not necessarily something they don't want. Mybrother, you wanted to vote at the meeting, but what was the result? Huang He saw it, but he cast an empty vote, presumably because he wanted to see a real fight. The other guys are somewhat suspicious even if they don't see it, but does one of them say anything?"
Li Mengxi, who has received eleven presidents all day today, has a deep understanding of Richard's words.
"Okay. As you said that night, I avoided the situation from the beginning, and I am not in a position to point fingers at it. But, to be honest, I'm a little scared of you too. β
"What are you afraid of us?" said Richard, his face incredulous.
"This time, you have used such a complicated method, even at the cost of the dungeon strategy information that you have always treasured, but there is no substantial return. In other words, you already want more than material gains. It's the same with the 'Killings in the City', you don't seek fame and you don't want anything. So, what exactly do you want?"
"Order. Don't you think it'......" As he spoke, Richard was stunned for a moment as if he had noticed something, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down, "This is also quite an important thing." Mybrother, we don't know exactly how much time has passed in reality. The lingua franca affair has proven that the people behind this death game are completely ignoring the law and wantonly interfering with our brains. So theoretically, the time difference between one day in the sky and ten years on earth can also be made. One day, I thought about it carefully, it took us two and a half years to get to the third level boss, and if we continued like this, wouldn't we have to stay here for seven years subjectively!"
"Why make such early assertions? Maybe it's just that we haven't got the hang of it yet. β
"Then tell me my brother, when will we catch that essential, and what is the connection between the Black Ice Knight, the Chess Game of the Gods, and Phoenix?"
β......β
"You don't know, I don't know, everyone doesn't know. Then we'll have to prepare for the worst and stay here for another seven years. "......The world is so vast, but we are only about 10,000 people, our compatriots! We should live in love with each other, and I believe this is the best! 'Bloody Christmas Eve', 'Murders in the City', sporadic PK deaths, and the recent bullying of highly anthropomorphic NPCs are all precursors to the breakdown of self-discipline. If we let it go, one day we will never recover. Maybe that's what the people behind the scenes want to see!But, at least, I'm not going to let him get his way!"
"Richard. Li Mengxi looked at the other party's excited expression and said worriedly, "Someone told me that you are more like a king than a hero. What do you think of yourself? Do you want to be our king?"
Feeling the seriousness of the question, Richard naturally became serious.
"Listen, my brother, I don't have the conceit to dominate others, and I'm not qualified. What I learned from a young age was freedom and natural human rights, and I believe that I never questioned that. But if you need a 'Washington', I'm British, but I'm not going to do that. β
"Richard, are you serious?"
"Of course!"
"But, you look at me, and then look at yourself, we are still children, we ......"
"Not anymore, mybrother, you should know. β
Li Mengxi was speechless. Because, he knew that what Richard said was right. When Richard took on the fate of "Oberiske" and all the members of the four guilds, and when he thought about the future of all players in this world, he was no longer the Cambridge student who had just arrived here. And himself, when he made up his mind to find his brother's clues here, when he solved the events that appeared in front of his eyes one by one, he was no longer just a younger brother who followed behind that back.
It's this world, this death game makes Li Mengxi and Richard have to grow up gradually, and as they grow up, they have more and more things to carry.
"Alas!" lamented, Li Mengxi glanced away from Richard. Putting aside the nerves tired from the increasingly heavy conversation, just staring for a long time was enough to tire the eyes. At this time, I really hope that the game's creature engine is not so realistic.
In order to relieve fatigue, Li Mengxi looked into the distance, and couldn't help but be suspicious when his eyes swept away.
"Richard, look there!"
Hearing this, Richard also looked in the direction of Li Mengxi's finger, and what he saw with his eyes was a moving light, about dozens of them, some in groups and some alone.
"What's that?"
Listening to the question, Li Mengxi squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the blurred scene, and immediately came to a conclusion based on experience.
"Fluorescent, presumably. β
"Man!" exclaimed Richard, at something unexpected, "how can there be so many people traveling in the desert at night?
"No, there's a place. Saying that, Li Mengxi showed a solemn expression, "Eden Village." β
"What!" Richard was even more surprised, "Eden doesn't seem to be anything special. β
"There's something very special. It is the closest human colony to the Oasis of Eden. β
"The Third Apostle, Level Boss Phoenix!"
"To be precise, it should be a resurrection item. β
