Chapter 39: The Axis and the Source (1)
The first day can be said to be basically peaceful, but it is also the first day when the nightmare begins.
In order to minimize the danger, Tang Xuan and the four of them stayed in the hotel all day and did not go out. And because of the reduction in personnel, everyone changed to a low-rise room on the second floor. This time, there was nothing else to do but gaming booths, four beds, and a simple bathroom. In terms of catering, everyone chose simple takeaways.
In the early hours of the morning, after a short period of extreme silence in the middle of the night, Tang Xuan sat up from the bed amid the faint noise when the city restarted.
The sky is a deep blue, with even a few stars dotted with bits and pieces, and it can be said that it is no different from the real world. A small arc to the east forms a clear line between red and blue sky. The clock across the street was finally fixed at 6 a.m. New York time.
"Awake?"
"Hmm." Hearing the call in his ear, Tang Xuan hummed softly, and then his empty gaze refocused, looking back at Wang Ling, who had already stood behind him at some point.
"Still worried about today's plans?"
"Yes, but not all, I'm just thinking that this time the game may not be that simple, I hope I think too much...... By the way, you'll have to keep up with me later. ”
"Yo roar, senior, have you enlightened?" Wang Ling put her hands behind her waist, and even jokingly used the title of senior in front of Tang Xuan.
Rolling his eyes, Tang Xuan looked back at the window, without explanation, just through his eyes, obviously preoccupied.
Just when he was watching the sunrise, the hint of the black distorted font had already communicated with him for a while.
The black distorted font prompts: "The black prosecutor's notebook is the 'axis' that runs through the entire world of the Grim Reaper, and if you have the opportunity, you can find a way to reach it." ”
Tang Xuan asked in his heart, "Axis? What is that? What does it do? ”
The black distorted font prompts: "Axis, the root of all things in the world, axis is the law." Everything in the world revolves around the 'axis', and the cycle repeats, which is fate. Just like the sun is the axis of the earth, and the proton is the axis of the electron...... It may be a little early for you to understand this, but one day in the future you will be exposed to this power. At the heart of this horror series is the 'axis of life' that revolves around life and death - a necessary item to resurrect the player. ”
Tang Xuan: "Necessary items to resurrect players?" This is not true, in the exchange of the Game of Thrones, there is a chance to directly redeem the resurrected player by accumulating enough in-game currency. ”
The black distorted font prompt has been refreshed: "There is indeed one in the exchange, but if that cloned creation is also considered to be resurrected." ”
Tang Xuan's heart was shocked: "Clone? ”
The black distorted font prompts: "That's right, clone, how can the cause and effect of life and death be so easy to reverse?" The throne also has the limitation that it can only copy the power of the axis, but the copycat is the copycat after all. In the future, when you reach that height, you will understand that in fact, the resurrection of the throne is just a clone of a body with no memory and no soul. And for this body to truly have a soul, it will need the power of the 'life axis'. And the Grim Reaper is coming series, which is the easiest world to get the 'Life Axis'. ”
Tang Xuan: "The future...... You say you're from the future, but who are you, and why did you choose to help me? What do you need? ”
The black distorted font prompts: "Before I can say this, the communication between me and you consumes the power of the axis." Every time something happens in the future is revealed, a huge source is needed to maintain the obscuration of the heavenly machine. You will know who I am. If there's one thing you need to do, there's one. ”
Tang Xuan: "You say." provided that it does not exceed my ability and does not violate the Code of Ethics. ”
The black distorted font prompts: "Don't worry, it's just a gesture for you." Wang Ling's girl is a poor person, she just needs to take care of her a little more while she is still alive. ”
Tang Xuan: "!! ”
However, after saying this, the black distorted font prompt fell into a deep sleep again, and as before, no matter how Tang Xuan called, there was no movement.
In the end, it was only a full two minutes later: "Source – the energy that drives the shaft to work." If the shaft is a law engine, then the source is the energy substance that runs the engine. ”
"Really, half the talk every time." Although he knew that there was no way to do it, Tang Xuan still couldn't help but complain in his heart.
However, about Wang Ling's sentence when she was alive...... Tang Xuan couldn't help but still be a little concerned, he was a companion in adversity, one side was in trouble, if it wasn't beyond his ability, Tang Xuan was not the kind of cold-blooded person.
It's just, when did this girl encounter danger? Is it this horror movie? Still is?
"Brother Tang, be careful, the death qi on your body has just suddenly increased again!" Just when Tang Xuan was thinking about the problem and looked at Wang Ling from the window, Wang Ling's cheeks flushed. Lu Lenna, whose ability is passive and has a very low sense of existence, her voice came out from the side like a ghost, which frightened Tang Xuan and Wang Ling. The charming atmosphere also dissipated.
Tang Xuan suddenly felt like he was facing a great enemy, and he was ready to strike at any time.
Even Lin Yu, who was still chattering on the bed, jumped up from the bed and started a complete werewolf form.
This time, however, there were no surprises.
After a long time, Lu Liana sounded again in a very confused voice: "Strange, that dead air has dissipated." ”
Lin Yu replied with some unhappiness: "Are you mistaken?" Death, that's a thief who doesn't go empty, is it possible that he will come and sit and leave without doing anything?"
Lu Lianna's face was also a little puzzled: "Impossible, when Brother Tang stood by the window just now, the dead air has been getting thicker, I am absolutely not mistaken, but I don't know why, that dead air just disappeared." No, the dead air fluctuated a little before it disappeared. Could it be that the Grim Reaper really came to sit down, and saw that we didn't have a chance for him here, so he left again? ”
Lin Yu didn't have a good airway, and seemed to be a little angry when he got up: "What do you think?" ”
"Am I really mistaken?" Perhaps sensing the ridiculousness of her previous statement, Lulena couldn't help but muttered self-doubt.
The stall hand said that he was innocent, but Tang Xuan already had a guess in his heart. The abnormal lifelessness on his body may be related to the black distorted font prompt, in fact, he himself has already wondered many times whether the other party is the gacout who followed him back at the last moment in the curse.
"Alright, let's go to Lincoln Square first."
"That cemetery in the original story?" Speaking of business, Lin Yu's attitude became serious.
"That's right, before the funeral is over, the Grim Reaper will definitely not find us, as a god who pays attention to rituals, he and his followers should be waiting for the funeral ceremony now, now, we are considered safe." Tang Xuan smiled.
"Are you sure?" Lined with side-eyed eyes.
"I guess."
"Ugh." The expression on Lin Yu's face stiffened.
