The sense of fall and detachment that Gu Tie felt when he landed in the "world" this time was stronger than ever, the world in his field of vision gradually became clearer, he slowly raised his left hand, observing his familiar and unfamiliar body, there were several men standing in front of him, several men standing behind him, a black-haired man who was dressed and looked like ancient Chinese style cast a puzzled look, "Brother Jonah, what's wrong? Your spirit doesn't seem to be very stable."

"I'm ......" Gu Tie opened his mouth and took a few seconds to get used to the touch of his tongue and the vibration frequency of his vocal cords, "I'm fine,...... Arsai. ”

The name of the oriental man came to mind, and Gu Tie squeezed out a smile. "Oh, for a moment I felt like you had lost your soul. Do you know what it means to lose your soul? In my hometown, children often go out to play around and come back and become dull, that is, they have lost their souls, and the old lady who knows how to do Taoism will be recalled......" Asai said chattering, looking at the ambassador's chubby body lying on the small window and talking to the pink-hat dwarf opposite.

"Demons. The seventeen-year-old's voice rang out in his head clearly.

"Jonah. Gu Tie found that this personality that should have disappeared without a trace was becoming stronger and stronger, not only was he not driven out of his body, but he was able to talk to himself calmly. Chinese think this sounds strange and funny, "Long time no see, are you okay?"

Jonah paused for a moment, "I'm fine. You haven't been there for a long time since the Well of Light came, so why are you bothering my life again, demon?"

Gu Tie smiled bitterly: "Don't call me a demon, my name is Gu Tie." You know, fate can't be chosen, the two of us are tied together and can't be separated, learn to accept it. I'm not going to hurt you. ”

The astrologer appeared surprisingly calm this time: "Yes, I have learned to accept your presence and slowly hone my soul, and one day, I will completely drive you out of my body, one day." ”

"No, no, I mean, get along well. I won't show up often, but when I do, you can take a break and let me use your identity to enjoy the fun of this world, okay?" Gu Tie explained. He never thought he would bargain with an in-game agent, and it seemed to be a bit of a loss, after all, he had come down from the sky to steal someone's body.

"What is your purpose?" asked Jonah.

"Purpose?"

"The purpose for which you came to earth. Demons don't leave Hell for no reason, and there is no gas and flames that you love. ”

“...... I told you I'm not a demon, my name is Gu Tie. If you have to find a purpose, it may be that I am depressed in my world, and I want to relax...... Wait a minute......"

Gu Tie was talking to another soul while flipping through Jonah's memories. The familiar noun appeared in front of him, splitting the will of the Chinese like lightning, making him slowly open his mouth and make meaningless gurgling sounds. Red Brotherhood. Red two-headed bird. The Cross of the Temple. The mysterious Chosen One and the protector of the Ghost. Listeners. The ghost's left hand. ――If memory serves, the Glorious Circus in reality is supposed to belong to the "Ghost's Right Hand," and the protector of the "World" is called the "Ghost's Left Hand." ”

...... What's going on?

In the past few months, Gu Tie has been repeatedly tricked by strange fate, and he gradually realized that there is a hidden organization on the back of this huge planet that is manipulating everything, spilling spider silk-like tentacles to every corner of the world. Both the program and the goals are hidden in the shadows, but one thing is certain, they are looking for a group of people, a group of chosen ones who may do something uncertain at some point in the future, and the Red Owl Brotherhood will eliminate this possibility of doing something at a certain time one by one. At the same time, a group of people named Ghost are protecting these special chosen ones, doing everything they can to keep them safe, but never interfering with their freedom to make decisions.

As one of the chosen ones, Gu Tie had no idea what he was going to do when, and he didn't understand how these two mysterious organizations had calculated the possibility of having him, and he was trying to figure out these intricate clues.

But at this time, in the experimental *** "world" launched by GTC, in Gu Tie's only corresponding game personality, in that virtual other world, everything actually repeated. The same huge organization, the same ghostly protectors, the same ignorant and ignorant chosen ones, guns turned into swords, quantum network offense and defense replaced by magic wars, throwing aside the difference in form, it is simply two identical stories playing out in parallel. The only difference is that Jonah in "World" is instructed by the ghost's left hand listener, and Ross Rose, who becomes the listener, will guide him in the direction he is going, while in reality the ghost's right hand refuses to share the listener's instructions with him and let him go wherever he goes.

"Stop this rude behavior, demon!" Jonah shouted angrily, his soul could feel the memories rummaging through the descendants, like a thief searching a house full of personal belongings, and it felt very bad to be offended.

"Shut up!" Gu Tie let out a deafening shout in his heart, he had no time to care about the grievances of a seventeen-year-old boy at this time, and quickly thought about countless clues that were entangled with each other. Since his first entry into the "world", the game character has been saddled with the prophecy of Segres the Betrayer, and now it seems that the prophecy of the Nameless Book is a guiding program that leads Jonah to one place after another, through one event after another, and to meet one companion after another, so what is the connection between the new listener's instructions and the prophecy? Can it be understood as a clearer interpretation and distribution guide of the prophecy? That is, it will be easier to find the place where the prophecy takes place by following the listener's instructions? So where does the Nameless Book point Jonah, does there exist an ultimate destination, and are all of these experiences a foreshadowing of the event-like moment in time?

If there is any hint I received in reality, it is three cold words: live.

And the personality in the "world" must not only live, but also live at the appointed time and place.

What is the role of his own arrival? If all the fate entanglements against Jonah in this virtual world are just programmed settings, then why did he choose to come to this key character and bring him countless unknowable variables? Could it be that everything he did when he landed in the "world" was also part of Segres's prophecy? How could it be? How could the prophet in the game predict the free will of humans in reality?

Calm down, be calm......

Gu Tie took two deep breaths, and Ah Sai looked back at him strangely: "Brother Jonah, is it too hot here, a little uncomfortable? It seems to be three or five degrees higher than in the city." ”

"It's a little hot. Gu Tie nodded, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, "I'll take off my clothes later." ”

"Undressed?" said the Oriental smirked, "You've never worn anything other than an astrologer's robe since I met you, what a joke!"

"En, it's a joke, hehe......" Gu Tie accosted in disappointment. He thought to himself that if this seventeen-year-old Jonah and himself were indeed endowed with a kind of fateful personality, then there must be some kind of trait in common, and he quietly asked in his heart: "Jonah, do you have some special ability? How can you say it, that is, the power that others do not have, but which you are born with?"

"Nope. The astrologer replied coldly.

“...... What was your childhood like? your parents, your family?" the Chinese asked.

“...... They died. I don't remember exactly. Jonah replied.

Gu Tie's eyes widened, not to mention his own past, there are also doubts about Terry the Clown's life experience, is this some kind of commonality of the chosen ones?

At this moment, the steam valve snorted from behind the steel gate towering between the canyons, and with the scorching steam spewing from the crack in the door, the gears began to rattle, and the two heavy gates slowly opened, and six pink-hat dwarven guards stood behind the door and bowed in unison, saying in unison in the very pure lingua franca of the Western Continent: "The presence of the descendants of the Savior is an honor for all of Ecbatana! The Elders are waiting for you in the heart of the crucible, please follow us." ”

The Floreans were about the height of children of six or seven years old, and wore ankle-length black robes and pink peaked hats, which were said to be distinguished by the number of ribbons on their hats, and the guards with only one ribbon were supposed to be the lowest rank of pink-hat dwarves.

"I guess they learned Western Continent because they missed Gilberto Gilberneon, don't you think?" said Arsai grinned, his white teeth shining in the valley sun.

Gu Tie could only put aside his complicated thoughts for the time being, and stepped into the east gate of Ekbatana. The Oriental, the Tocharian Ambassador, Lieutenant Morrell, and the cavalry of the 13th Flying Cavalry followed him, only to be stopped by the Pink Hat Guard. The four guards turned and pointed their child-like spears at the man behind the astrologer, repeating in Florerian, Western and Southern Continents: "If you are not invited, please stop immediately." ”

"What are you kidding? I'm here with Brother Jonah, why don't you let me in?" Asai anxiously pointed to the man in front of him, "Do you want him to run alone to this unfamiliar place, what if something happens?"

The person who was more anxious than him was Lieutenant Morrell, before leaving, the major of the southeast command post told him ten thousand times to protect the safety of the chief officer every step of the way, how could he be willing to see the young lieutenant colonel approaching the dark basin alone at this time? He pushed the ambassador to the front, "The Tocharian Empire has the obligation to protect the safety of a nobleman, the lieutenant colonel is the holder of the clan coat of arms, the noble Baron Ecbatana, you have no right to put him in danger!"

The Florean people drove the Tocharian soldiers unmoved, the cavalry angrily drew their swords, parryed the small spears, the crowd began to push and shove noisily, and the two powder-hat guards did not look back, leading Gu Tie along the path. "I'm fine. The Adventist turned and smiled at his companions, "I'm fine, wait for me." ”

No one had ever seen such a reassuring smile on the face of a seventeen-year-old.
