Shen Yi's accusation is half sincere, half false.

Of course, there is his dissatisfaction with the Babel deception, and it is also a means for him to defend himself and divert attention.

After all, although he is not afraid of death, he will not be stupid enough to seek death. Pinching the beads is obviously an act that touches the bottom line of the manager, if you don't take some means to save yourself, you are afraid that the trouble will not be small.

And what he chose was to attack instead of defend, and to point to the opponent's vital point - now it was up to the space managers to consider how they should defend themselves.

At this moment, as he spoke, there was a long silence in the audience.

Until two more figures suddenly appeared, breaking the temporary silence.

One of them is Zisha.

Lan Yan frowned slightly, "Huang He, Zisha, why are you two here?"

Zisha snorted coldly: "The matter is so big, can Lao Tzu not come?" Since they already know so much, some things can only be told to them. ”

The former priest stripped of his former high hat and wore a black power suit, and no longer looked like an old man, replaced by a mighty man.

Lan Yan was surprised: "Is this a decision of the council?"

The manager called Huang He: "Of course. It's better to lose the mystery than to be misunderstood, oh, that's what the speaker said, that's why we're here. ”

This is a middle-aged man, compared to the handsomeness of Lan Yan and the majesty of Zisha, this person looks a little feminine.

looks feminine, but speaks without femininity.

Then he turned his head to look at Shen Yi and said, "We already know what happened just now." I really didn't expect you to see so many things. Before you, the first person to discover the truth was a three-difficulty adventurer, and he was only one mission world away from entering the four-difficulty world. You are the only one who discovers the truth on the second difficulty. ”

Balsa snorted coldly: "It's a pity that it doesn't do him any good." ”

King Kong sneered: "Willing to understand to die, unwilling to live confused." ”

Knowing all this, he was furious with the space managers. He could understand why these guys were lying to them, after all, they needed comrades, but that didn't mean King Kong would accept that fact.

Now that he has torn his face, he simply regrets these high-ranking guys with Shen Yi.

Shen Yi is right about one thing - people who are on the road to death are fearless.

Huang He didn't mind King Kong's tone, but said to Shen Yi: "In what you just said, there is something I need to correct. ”

"What?" Shen Yi asked.

"There is a question about failure, the city was indeed defeated by the Zerg, but it was not the kind of failure you imagined. ”

"Zerg?" Shen Yi noticed the word.

"It's just a title. To be honest, we don't know exactly what kind of enemy we're facing, but these guys are fertile, vigorous, and aggressive, just like the Zerg in StarCraft, and that's what we call them. These guys are interstellar locusts, invading everywhere, devouring everything, and if there is no bloody city, the earth may be finished. We guard the city, and we also guard the earth. ”

"So what are you trying to correct?"

Lan Yan replied first: "The battle situation is not as bad as you say. In fact, as early as a hundred years ago, the city had been completely defeated, but the Zerg had never been able to capture here. It's a magical world, and you should have seen it, and it can give people endless power. In fact, the Supreme Council has been gathering strength and looking for opportunities to fight back. ”

Shen Yi nodded: "This is also where I am puzzled." How can you be able to create such a world, turn people into supermen, and even have countless futuristic technological weapons?"

Everyone nodded.

That's right, although the invading Zerg have shown their strong combat power, they are still far from the magic of the Bloody City.

God is the only one who can create such a world!

True God!

If the Zerg were able to defeat the gods, it would be incredible.

Gentle and cold: "There is only one explanation, and that is the so-called Supreme Council, not the creator of this world. They were just Nestle doves and inadvertently owned the place. Of course, this became their last fortress, and from then on, they began to capture innocent people to enter here, train, and fight for them. Of course, for this they made a series of plans, including deceiving us that we could go home. ”

Lan Yan smiled bitterly: "No, no, this world was indeed established by them, but there are many factors that led to their defeat, some of which I don't know, and some of which I can't say." But I can tell you that the Zerg were able to enter not because they were strong enough to break through the defenses, but because we deliberately let them in. ”

Gehr asked, "Is it the beginning of the Holy Month once a year?"

Balsa Interface: "It's not a holy moon, it's a halo phenomenon that occurs when the spatial passage is opened. We let in a bunch of intruders and kill them. On the one hand, it is possible to weaken them, and on the other hand, ......"

He looked at Shen Yi, and Shen Yi understood: "For the beads?"

Bauer nodded: "You Chinese call it Neidan, but in our opinion, it is a kind of energy crystal." Only powerful Zerg have energy crystals, and the more powerful they are, the purer the energy crystals will be, and the more energy they can contain. ”

"You say you can absorb its energy, as it is written in the novel?"

"No, no, no!" Bauer shook his head like a rattle: "When these guys die, the energy also dissipates, and the crystal itself is empty. However, it is an excellent container, so it can be re-injected with new power. This allows us to use it to craft weapons specifically designed against the Zerg. ”

"A weapon specially designed to deal with the Zerg?" Shen Yi looked at the Eye of Hades in his hand.

Isn't this a weapon that claims to be used to deal with the Zerg?

Balsa already sneered: "How do you think that thing came from?"

Shen Yi was taken aback: "Could it be ......?"

Lan Yan nodded: "That's right, it's made from the most powerful war beast of the Zerg." Actually, you've seen its corpse. ”

Shen Yi's mind immediately appeared with the hundred-meter-long, dragon-like bone horror......

Bauer continued: "In fact, the Zerg are not as terrifying as you think, but those who can enter here are elites. And this ......" he pointed to the corpse of the giant beast: "It is a new breed of Zerg, do you know what the energy crystallization of a new variety means? More possibilities! It was specially put in by us, we have been looking for it for three days, and finally it appeared, but you destroyed the energy crystallization of this only giant beast!"

Speaking of this, Bauer was furious again.

The colonel was puzzled: "In that case, why do you still hide the Eye of Hades?"

Zisha explained: "Because that's the way to inject energy, it has to be buried in the depths of this world to extract energy. Shen Yi, when you use it, you should feel the powerful power contained in the Eye of the Hades, right?"

"Yes. ”

"That is the power of the world itself, which we absorb with energy crystallization and concentrate on various skills so that this power can be extracted and used. You can imagine how much strength increases when a marshal-level adventurer uses it. However, this crystallization has its limitations, and it can neither be used in quest worlds, nor can it allow the user to have these powers for a long time. Like the Eye of Hades, it has three components. When the three pieces are put together, the user is free to extract the power of the Eye of Hades, and after 6 hours, the extracted energy will flow back into the Eye of Hades. Of course, there will be some loss in the process, but it is not a problem to use it a dozen times. ”

Lan Yan said with pity: "But you are forcibly using it with the help of external forces when there is only a single piece." As a result, the extracted energy cannot be returned to the Eye of the Immortal...... You squandered one of your most precious weapons. ”

It is for this reason that every time the Eye of the Immortal runs out of energy, it is returned to the original place of the Netherworld Valley and continues to inject energy until it is rediscovered a year later.

The problem is that the people who use the Eye of Hades are usually marshal-level adventurers who have already entered the official battlefield, and only they can return the consumed Eye of Hades, but Shen Yi is still only a second-difficulty adventurer, and he can't make systematic transactions with them. That way, the city won't be able to recycle the Eye of Hades, let alone recharge it. In other words, for a long time, the weapon of the Eye of Hades will no longer appear on the extraterritorial battlefield - Shen Yi destroyed two artifacts in one go, which can be described as unprecedented.

With this in mind, Shen Yi decided to sell it to the Evil Emperor at a cheaper price - at least he could let the Eye of Hades return sooner, wouldn't it?

As for whether he will find out that what he gets is scrap...... God forbid he never got any other accessories.

"Then why don't you use it yourself?" asked the Colonel.

"It's the rules of the city, and let's not forget that we were also adventurers. If we miss the opportunity, we can't get it again. ”

King Kong immediately said, "That's exactly what I don't understand. Why do you have rules that bind you?"

Zisha said regretfully: "The rules are not made by us, but by its creator, but unfortunately, when the rules are created, even the creator itself can no longer be violated." We don't know what the reason is for this, we just know that the rules have become unmodifiable and can only be remedied. It has become the iron law of this world, just like the law of all things, like the law of physics, which binds everyone in this world. ”

Shen Yi nodded: "I can see it." ”

As early as the Terminator World, Shen Yi sensed that the space manager seemed to be unable to patch the loopholes in the rules. Perhaps it is for this reason that the creators have created a space manager to fill the loopholes.

Hong Lang raised his hand like a student: "I also have a question. Since the bloody city can create supermen, why don't you just turn every newcomer you bring into a strong one? Give each of us more than 10,000 attributes, and then a thousand double S skills, how good?

He didn't have a big tone, his attributes were over 10,000, and his skills were over 1,000, and he almost didn't faint Colonel Shen Yi to death.

Then Hong Lang added: "Don't tell me anything, let the recruits improve themselves in the battle and go through the test of life and death." One test of life and death is enough, and 10,000 powerful recruits are always much stronger than one veteran. ”

Lan Yan replied: "You're right, in fact, the creators also want to do this, but it's a pity that they can't do it." Because he doesn't have the ability to go through life and death, he can't be taken out of this world. Only the ability to be truly proficient is truly possessed. Oh, by the way, except for the ability, the best thing about it is that as long as you have it, you can take it away, because it is connected to your life, but the rest is not, you have to really master it to belong to you. ”

The colonel asked, "I see, what about the scientific and technological armament?"

"You can take them away, but you also need to really master their use and become one with them, so combat is what you have to go through. The more you master, the stronger you become. ”

And so it was.

Shen Yi said: "Since you need warriors, why do you want adventurers to kill each other in the city?"

This question made Lan Yan Balsa and the others look at each other a few times.

After a while, Lan Yan replied, "That's not what we want." We never wanted adventurers to kill each other in the quest world, in fact, we just wanted them to live as long as possible. ”

"Are you saying that things like free kill mode, killing adventurers and getting rewards for each other have nothing to do with you?

"We sometimes give orders that resemble competitions, but we never advocate killing each other, after all, you will all be our comrades in the future. ”

"So what is it that causes the existence of those missions that make us kill each other?"

Bauer said angrily: "Didn't you just contact her?"

Shen Yi was stunned.

The girl in white?

He blurted out, "What the hell is she?"

Balsa replied: "She is the devil incarnate!"

Bauer replied, "She's the ghost of the city!"

Zisha replied: "She is a loophole in the system!"

Lan Yan replied: "She is a bug of life!"

Huang He replied: "She is a virus of the program, a nightmare of the Supreme Council!"

―――――――――――――

The space manager is gone.

The energy crystals have been destroyed, and due to the rules, they can't kill Shen Yi to vent their anger. To be able to answer questions patiently, to put it bluntly, it is still necessary to calm the anger in everyone's hearts.

Of course, it is inevitable to warn them not to divulge the truth - let those who are already awake let them awake, and let those who are still asleep continue to sleep.

However, for Shen Yi, there are still too many mysteries that have not been solved.

For example, why was it possible to create an existence like a city, but it would be defeated by the Zerg;

For example, why urban creators are also bound by their own rules;

For example, who is the girl in white?

Shen Yi made a sad discovery: he discovered a truth, but gained more mysteries.

He was pondering, and so was the others.

For most people, what they know today is enough to shock them, to despair, to take time to digest, to think, to regain their spirits.

Except for Shen Yi, the only person who can remain calm may be the colonel.

came to Shen Yi's side and sat down, and the colonel threw Shen Yi a cigar: "Try this." ”

Shen Yi put the cigar to his nose and sniffed it, and said casually, "Havana cigar?"

"If you ask about quality, yes, but you have to ask about the origin, no. ”

Shen Yi laughed.

The Colonel gave himself a leisurely order, took a beautiful sip, and said:

"I have a question for you. ”

Say. ”

"Why did you decide to come and fight with me? I don't believe you came to help me because I promised, you're not that kind of person. ”

Shen Yi replied: "The reason why I helped you is very simple, you and I are both human beings, and the Zerg are aliens. This may be one of the major characteristics of life, a strong xenophobia. This is true from the countryside, to the towns, to the country. ”

In Shen Yi's view, although he and the colonel have local differences between the east and west regions, they are enemies in peacetime, but when they face foreign enemies together, the two sides become their own people again. It's no surprise that he would make such a choice.

"Just like Xie Rongjun?" asked the colonel.

"Yes, just like Xie Rongjun. There is an old saying in mankind that war never stops because there is no external enemy on earth. Now that we have a common enemy, of course we have to put aside our grudges and fight side by side. Even if I die at your hands in the end, it is much better than the total annihilation. ”

The colonel was finally moved, thought for a moment and asked, "What about the current one? Your current strength can kill all of us, why don't you do it?"

Shen Yi laughed out loud and patted the colonel on the shoulder: "It's a comrade-in-arms, why bother to be so ruthless." Speaking of which, I took advantage of you, and you didn't get any benefit. If you take advantage of it, you have to kill them all, leaving no room for anything, and being a man is too arrogant. I still advocate leaving a line in everything, and there is no need to be so excessive. ”

The colonel was completely stunned.

After a while, he said, "It's rare to see people like you." ”

Although he is a strong person in the four difficulties, what is strong is only strength, not soul, so listening to Shen Yi at this moment, he is like Zhou Hao, listening carefully to what Shen Yi said, and there is no meaning to underestimate it.

But this is not to say how humble he is, but after experiencing this battle, he already has a new understanding of Shen Yi. Put aside your preconceptions and talk again, and it will naturally come naturally.

If it was a few hours ago, he could slap Shen Yi with a slap, and let Shen Yi talk wildly, I'm afraid it would be useless.

At this moment, the two chatted together, and they talked about a lot of interesting things, and they also exchanged some knowledge and understanding of the world, told some stories about the world of each mission, and told some secrets between adventurers.

The colonel is a veteran powerhouse of the fourth difficulty level, and his breadth of knowledge is much stronger than Shen Yi's. Therefore, many times he is saying that Shen Yi is listening, and for Shen Yi, just this experience has benefited him a lot.

Of course, Shen Yi's whimsical thinking also taught the colonel a lot. Especially when the colonel talked about some of his experiences in the mission world, Shen Yi would always propose another solution to the dangers he encountered at that time. He was amazed that these ideas were often simpler but more effective than the methods used by the Colonel.

Only then did he realize that the battle he had been proud of could have paid less and gained more.

He hadn't noticed some problems with his actions before, but after talking to Shen Yi, he gradually discovered that it would be of great benefit to his future promotion.

The more they talked, the more they talked, and the colonel finally changed the conversation:

"Do you know how I found out about the extraterritorial war?"

"I just wanted to hear from you. ”

"Huh. The Colonel lit himself a second cigar before saying, "I entered the fourth difficulty four months ago." At that time, I was still dreaming that in a year at most, I would be able to enter the Tower of Babel and return to Earth. Until one day, I wandered in the wilderness...... Just wandering around casually, I didn't expect to accidentally find a stone tablet. ”

"Steles, you say?"

"Yes. The stele was written down by an adventurer, and it recorded something about the world. ”

"Does that stele have a name, called the Tertiary Period?"

Colonel Yileng: "It turns out that you also know the Third Age. ”

"I've just heard from my friends, but I've never had a chance to see it. ”

"That's when I learned something. But what I know is not exactly what they say. ”

The colonel's voice suddenly lowered, and he whispered close to Shen Yi's ear: "Shen Yi, don't believe what those guys say, they are deceiving us, eight out of ten of their words are false, and they are not trustworthy at all! There is a problem in this world, there is a big problem, it is far from being as simple as we see." They deliberately make you think you've discovered the truth, but the real truth may be far away from us. ”

"What else do you seem to know?"

"You're not the only one who has access to urban ghosts. ”

Shen Yi's heart tightened: "Do you know what she is?"

The colonel replied leisurely:

"She is the embodiment of angels. ”

"She is an immortal legend. ”

"She was the key to the way home. ”

"She is the only clue to the truth. ”

"She is our last ray of hope in this hopeless world!"
