Chapter 61: Playing with Death (2)
"I see." Tang Xuan nodded, not surprised, "There is no record of the Reaper design of that time in the notebook, which is enough to show that it is not the design of the Reaper." I've speculated about the possibility of pure accident, and it would make sense if it were him. It seems that he also thought that the side quests are not just for the natives of this world. Every one of us players is a mortal. ”
"Fortunately, he has left this world. Otherwise, if my next plan is to go smoothly, I will have to get rid of this threat first. Tang Xuan continued, "What is Brother Lin's plan to do next?" ”
Lin Yu smiled, he stretched, patted Tang Xuan's shoulder and said, "You will have a big move next, I'm afraid it is related to that hidden mission, the trial of the god of death." However, hidden missions involving plot twists are not so easy to do, and without the strength to match, rashly opening hidden missions is tantamount to death. I'll send you another message for free.,Once the plot reversal mission is opened,The current game will cover the entire world.,At that time,There's no room to leave the scope of the mission to change the game world.。 ”
Tang Xuan asked, "So, Brother Lin, what are you going to do next?" ”
"The things that need to be dealt with have been dealt with, I'll go back to the hotel and wait for you first." Lin Yu tidied up his clothes and turned around, "There are few games, and the limited degree of strengthening is a hard injury that cannot be avoided after all, if your strength is not too brilliant compared to ordinary players, I will leave this city immediately." After all, I don't want to touch a game like this that eats pure intelligence and has little effect on force, whether it's the unbridled Grim Reaper or the hidden mission. The feeling that the stakes are far greater than the grasp is not pretty. ”
"Hehe, it seems that my strength has been recognized by you."
"On the one hand, it's mainly the reward for plot twisting, which no veteran player can refuse, and of course, you kid has a lot of appetite for me, which is the most important thing. But if it really comes to a critical juncture, I don't necessarily have control over you. ”
"That's as it should be." Tang Xuan nodded in approval.
"Let's go, I'll see you later."
"Hmm."
……
At 9:53 p.m., in the abandoned car repair station, Tang Xuan relied on his strong eyesight to clean up all the items purchased overnight on the ground by the moonlight, and then carefully took out a map from the ring and studied it carefully. But only a moment, as he glanced at his surroundings, he snapped his head and said, "Really, what better place to be than here?" With that, he put away the map, waved his hand, and stuffed the map and the miscellaneous items on the ground back into the ring.
"It's time to go back." Tang Xuan stood up and patted the dust on his body, "The sunrise time in New York is 6 o'clock in the morning, and according to the records of the black prosecutor, you only need to return here before sunrise to prepare for the 'trial' on the fourth day." ”
Late at night, New York has the unique sultry night scene of the city, passing by the traffic of the river, Tang Xuan walked on the street, frowning and thinking.
Can tomorrow's plan really come to fruition?
Compared with the invincible strong enemy, the sixth who is not sure where he will appear is even more humiliating. This is different from the ghosts in the curse, the Grim Reaper is coming - you can't even find the target to fight back, a rare day of tranquility, waiting for the sun to rise, and a new round of high-risk minefields all over the ground, Tang Xuan is about to be fed up with the oppression of the ever-present crisis.
Tang Xuan knew in his heart - Lin Yu, it was generally the same situation, his strength was very strong, and his strength was ridiculously strong. But no matter how strong the strength is, if you can't even touch the shadow of death, it's empty talk. After all, the Grim Reaper is a rule-based monster and will never play cards according to common sense. So the battle just now was not so much a temptation as a kind of emotional catharsis in a sense. There is no objection to his next plan, a big gamble, will the Grim Reaper really take the bait?
Tang Xuan walked with his head down, and when he passed by a street corner and alley, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Child, the wind and rain have passed, are there any questions that you can't think of?" ”
Tang Xuan was slightly stunned and raised his head.
A pair of plain black leather shoes, jeans washed to a little white, and a shirt that is not fashionable, but looks a little younger. It's the old American man who delivered the umbrella last time. I didn't expect to meet here, it's really fate.
Shaking his head, his thoughts were interrupted, Tang Xuan put his hand behind his back and took out the umbrella given by the old man from the ring: "Old man, thank you for your umbrella." ”
"Kid, are you a magician who came to New York to perform?" The old man in the United States was speechless, and his eyes glanced at Tang Xuan strangely, "I didn't see you carrying this umbrella just now, a magical oriental skill." ”
Tang Xuan smiled bitterly and nodded slightly, acquiescing to the old man's statement.
"Child, if you have something on your mind that is inconvenient to resort to, you can talk to me, an old man. A lot of times, it's no longer a problem when it's spoken, and it just so happens that I'm taking a walk now and have some time to hear the stories of you young people. ”
Tang Xuan was stunned: "May I ask you a question?" After a pause, Tang Xuan added, "A very presumptuous question. ”
"Really? Hehe, I'm happy to help you. The old man said.
Tang Xuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "So, are you afraid of death?" ”
"Dead?" The old man in the United States glanced at Tang Xuan strangely, but he was not angry, and then said, "Child, this is not something you should consider at your age. However, since you asked, maybe I can tell you how I feel, just mine. ”
"Hmm."
"To be honest, after more than 60 years of living, I still don't feel like I've lived enough." The old man smiled happily and said, "I'm going to go for a walk in the park with my wife." My youngest grandson can already call me grandpa. Lovely Bai Xue, it was a little dog in our house, it was so cute, it loved that I held it to watch the sunrise. Life is so beautiful. So to be honest, I don't want to die. ”
Tang Xuan didn't know why. He just asked the old man if he was afraid of death, but he didn't want the old man to say a lot of things.
"However, if you really want to say that you are afraid of death. Honestly, I'm not afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of. ”
"Not afraid?"
"Why be afraid?" The old American man asked rhetorically, "Well, people always have to die." The end of life. It's a ...... of nature Law. Laws, you know? It's like a cup, it can hold so much water, and the extra water will naturally overflow. And the one who dies is the part of the overflowing water. Of course, from the perspective of the individual's senses, dying is indeed a very sad thing. But that's necessary. Man cannot resist the forces of nature. If there is a God, maybe so. But I believe that even if there are gods, then there must be rules that act on them. This is an objective fact. Also, as a philosopher, I'm actually an atheist. ”
"I hope my words will be useful to you, little boy. At your age, you should enjoy the good time of your youth. After saying that, the old man smiled and left, "That's right, the challenger of the Grim Reaper's rule." ”
"Wait! You ......" Tang Xuan looked up in shock.
