Hodge stared at the suspended head in front of him, silently did not speak, and suddenly reached out and pressed his hand directly on the eyes of the skull, the two eyeballs sunken inward, and the force generated by the squeezing made the eye sockets full of blood.

I only heard a soft pop, and his eyeballs were like punctured balloons, which exploded in his sockets in an instant, and blood splattered onto Hodge's face, but he was still as calm as ever.

"Huh~"

The mouth of the head moved slightly, and said: "Unexpected move, I thought your first reaction was to pull out the knife in your boots, you will think of him first in a few battles, which makes me curious about how much this knife means to you, let me see, ah~ Yes, a table knife from the ancient castle, tsk, why do you rely on this kind of thing?"

"Every story has an ending. "Now that I've reached the last page, all the foreshadowing should be on display, so stop pretending to be a fool and reveal who you really are, Russ." ”

"Don't be so ruthless, for creators, foreshadowing is not easy to explain, you have to let me see if you have read through the story I wrote. ”

Russ smiled in her voice, "Then tell me how much you have read." ”

Hodge took a deep breath: "Here, this city, from the moment we landed in the port, everything we saw was false, which means that the edge of the illusion was not in the city, but completely covered the Adverse Harbor and the entire area. ”

"Go on. Russ smiled.

"Whether it's the soldiers who come back from the dead and are unaware, or the strange shapeshifters, and the manipulation of memories that Tina said, these should not be things that exist in reality, I thought this was the cause of the illusion, but the soldiers themselves should be aware of death, and the only explanation is that they didn't exist in the first place, or ...... Already dead. ”

"Sagisan, Tina, Roosevelt...... All the people I've ever met, they're dead, they're in this city, that's why there's that strange smell in the air, it's a rancid smell, although it's been modified, but at the last moment I can tell, it's the corpses that I've been dealing with all the time, or the illusions you've constructed based on the body, and the closed gates of the city are not because the inhabitants are afraid to open them, but because they're not in it at all, they've been driven away from the city. ”

"Expulsion, that's a good word. "I hypnotized them out of the city so I could set up the script, but now that I think about it, I don't think it through, maybe I should let them stay so it would be more realistic." ”

"Truth means danger. Hodge's eyes lit slightly, "What you want is complete control, not any runaway factors, so you can't have too many roles in this scene, and the venue has to be limited, but you made a mistake, Weina, she's a real person, you shouldn't let her stay in the city." ”

"I don't blame me, the stupidity of the silly girl made her immune to my hypnosis, I thought it wouldn't be much trouble, who would have thought that she didn't notice the strangeness of the city and still opened the shop. The hovering head pouted, "What a miscalculation." ”

"It seems that you originally intended for us to be hosted by the town hall, since there are no other hotels in the city besides Wina. ”

Russ doesn't shy away from saying, "That's how it should be in my script." ”

"Thank you so much for your mistake in not only giving us a place to stay, but also giving me a great prop to be the only [person who can't lie] in the city. ”

"Really, what did she tell you?" asked Russ curiously.

"There are a lot of things that make me deduce that the city is not normal. ”

Hodge took a breath and continued: "Then the layout of Harbor Street should also be done by you, in order to let Soxi enter the city, you could have opened a seemingly full inn at will, or a cherry, or this one, but you know that Suoxi is too familiar with a cherry, and the more familiar things are, the easier it is to inadvertently find flaws, so you chose this one and let him enter the headwind harbor on the grounds that it was full." ”

"Yes, there are some minor changes to the sense of taste in the illusion, the witcher's senses are too strong, and it is easy to taste that the wine tastes wrong, damn it, as a supporting character, he dares to drink wine from a tavern so much. ”

"But there are still things I don't understand. Hodge said, "If Sagesan, Roosevelt, and Tina are all dead, then is the rumored slave movement in Adverse Harbor real? Since you have been able to illustrate the layout, then at least you have no resurrection ability, and Tina and Roosevelt both mentioned that Sagisan should have died a long time ago, so who started the slave movement, and who is the real slave king? Or is this just a fictional rumor, but why do so many people believe it and reach my ears through various channels?"

"That's because ......"

The head slammed into a blood mist, and out of the shadows of the corridor slowly walked a clapping and smiling man, dressed like an ordinary captain, wearing a slightly turned up hat, and when he saw Hodge, he took off the hat, and it turned out to be a bright bald head.

He grinned, all his teeth triangular and said, "I walked out for this purpose." ”

"It's you!" Hodge's pupils shrank, and he immediately recognized the big bald head in front of him.

Isn't this the captain who first asked for a ticket to Stormhaven when he first entered Stone Castle and went to the port.

He recalled that he had first heard the news of the rebellion in Windhaven, and it was from this man's mouth that he first heard about it.

"You've been preparing to invite me into the game since then? ”

The bald Russ shook his bare head: "Earlier, Glad always thought that he found out about your existence first, but that was a fool, in fact I think that only Pride has some wisdom besides me, everyone else is in the way, oh, Rust has good breasts and legs, so I can barely take her out." ”

"I discovered you when I came into this world, and your presence is special, like a blazing fireball in the night. ”

"Greed, Rust?" Hodge wondered, he hadn't heard of either name.

"You're familiar with it. Russ smiled, "The former is the initiator of the Coldtide Beast, and the latter—I remember seeing her face, on a pile of gray fireflies. ”

Hodge was shocked and said coldly, "Who are you?"

"We?" Russ pointed to herself, tilting her head and thinking for a moment, "Well, we have a more official name, but I like to use the word [manager] that I have made up myself, but I don't think you will understand, so let me tell you, we call ourselves - apostles." ”

"What is the meaning of this illusion? Hodge didn't understand why the person in front of him was obviously beyond his cognition, and why he would construct such an illusion, seemingly harmless to himself, but there was no element that was in the interests of the other party.

The motive is unknown.

"You say this because of the reward. Russ said.

"Reward?"

"Sagisan's soul is very special, his soul was transformed into a spirit when he died in extreme resentment, but that would be a loss of self-consciousness, and to me this soul with a strong desire for revenge is quite cute, so I rewarded him for letting him achieve his revenge, of course only in this city, after all, not a real resurrection. ”

"Roosevelt, this man is also interesting, perhaps he is the least guilty of the three, except for killing Sagisan for love, he has hardly forced anyone, although he looks annoying, but he is the only one who wants to really do things for the slaves, but unfortunately, the identity of the official makes him unable to win the trust of the slaves, but it is the revengeful liar who picks up the cheap, hahaha. ”

"As for Tina, it's probably an academic reward, the theory of soul immortality that she thought of is correct, since she has already encircled Sagisan and Roosevelt, it doesn't hurt to have one more person, and by the way, she was given all kinds of incredible skills, I thought I could toss something different, but I didn't expect that in the end, in order to resurrect a father? It's really ugly, not beautiful at all. ”

"What about me. Hodge said, "Why did I get in here?" ”

"Because you're special. Russ laughed, "I want to see your choices in this story, by the way, to tell you a truth, whether it is Sagisan, Roosevelt or Tina, they are not pure evil people or good people, when you try to distinguish between good and evil, you have already lost, I wanted to see if you will collapse after discovering the truth, but now it seems that you are much more mature." ”

"I'm not that naïve. Hodge said.

Russ nodded, "But I underestimated you." ”

"What about my companions?"

"Don't be so surprised that I know not only who they are, but I even know something interesting in your mind, an invisible character, and an illusory square piece? Don't worry, these three girls, they're fine, but I don't need them in my story, so I drove them away, just like the natives of Stormhaven. ”

"In that case, it's time for the end of the story, and you, as the final boss, need us to defeat it. ”

Russ shook her head: "How come, this story is not a legend of a brave man and an evil dragon, oh no, there are no dragons now." Now that you understand my story, it's time to reward you. ”

"What?"

Hodge was startled, and in an instant, his feet seemed to lose support, and his body slid backwards irrepressibly, the distance between him and Russ quickly narrowed, he could see Russ's smiling expression, and the sound of Russ's deformation in the air gradually came.

"Do you know why I like to call myself [Administrator], because the apostles can decide when the races that exist in the world will be revived and what will end, the laws of the world are under our control, and every time we appear, it is the end of life, once we buried the dragons and the elves, and now it is your turn to be humans. ”

"But it seems that the only variable is that you are unaware of the concept, so I have to let you know what you are about to face. ”

Russ waved his hand from afar: "See you later." ”

Hodge's vision shattered like glass, and then he saw an incredible sight.

The sun disappeared from the sky, but there was still light in the world, but this light had no temperature, which made him feel even colder.

And the ground in front of him was a hoarfrost, which quickly condensed the soil, freezing patches of land into hard ice.

This temperature is far more terrifying than a cold wave.

Whew—

A long whistle rang out one after another, and he turned his head to look, only to see winged behemoths spewing flames in the hoarfrost, trying to stop the spread of ice and snow.

But the truth is that before their flames could ignite the snow and ice, the extreme cold froze them into ice cubes and then cracked in bursts.

Even such a terrifying creature could not resist the invasion of hoarfrost.

Hodge had a different kind of delusion.

This world, as if it is dead.

He suddenly turned his head, looked at the huge objects that were still flying, and suddenly remembered something.

That's a dragon?

A real ancient dragon?

What am I ......?

Shadows suddenly fell overhead, and he looked up, a shadow that seemed to cover the sky appeared.

Hodge narrowed his eyes, discerning the shape of the shadow.

Is that...... A floating ship?

But what ship is so big?

A blue light suddenly lit up in the center of the shadows, and the hatch slowly opened, and several shadows sprang out, which were also dragons, and even larger than those that had been annihilated in the hoarfrost.

This is, the floating ship of the ancient dragon?

The dragon that landed on the ground looked at the hoarfrost not far away, and the moment he turned around, the huge golden pupils invariably landed on Hodge's body.

Hodge felt his breathing and heartbeat stop at the same moment.

They- can they see me?

It's not the kind of reminiscing scene I've seen before.

This is the real, ancient era of dragon survival!

"In the Age of White Frost, you can still see newborn species. ”

The ancient dragon slowly opened its mouth, and the aftermath of the sound alone made Hodge a little unsteady on his feet.

It poked out its claws and reached for Hodge.

The coercion was so powerful that he couldn't even control his body.

Zizizi——

A shrill voice, he snapped his eyes open, and Russ was looking at him with a smile.

"Now know what the world is about to face, come, look at your palm, right hand. ”

Hodge looked down at the palm of his hand, and at some point there was a string of pendants in his palm, and the metal block in the middle was in the shape of a dragon wing.

"It's my reward for you, and if you want to know a little bit about that era, you'll need it. ”
