Chapter 40: Return to Reality
Anna's cry was sluggish.
She looked up blankly, choking as she looked at Wang Ran.
Wang Ran smiled wryly.
"Don't cry."
He backhanded and spilled all the tears in the bowl.
This is to prevent Anna from misunderstanding.
He really just wanted Anna to stop crying, after all, it was just a simulation, and it didn't make sense to collect as many tears as you could.
Although the process was a little quirky, he succeeded.
Anna couldn't cry.
After his interruption, Anna's grief was incoherent.
She took out the tissue that Wang Ran handed her before, and wiped the tears on her face while sobbing, and her mood gradually stabilized.
Bite!
Bamboo slips suddenly sounded.
Wang Ran opened it and found that it was the Watchers Guild who was asking about Anna's location, saying that a dozen gods who were good at lifting curses and purifying evil had come to Earth, and they wanted to meet Anna.
The Watchmen's Guild is quite efficient.
Wang Ran sent a location to the Watchmen's Guild, then turned to Anna and said, "Someone will come to help you soon." β
Anna remained silent, as always.
Rumble!
At that moment, there was a loud bang above them, followed by an old female voice.
"Mission delegate?"
Her voice was eerie, sounding like a piece of bacon that had been marinated for hundreds of years.
It's dry, it's hard, and it smells weird.
Wang Ran said loudly: "It's me, come down!" β
He wasn't surprised that a god had arrived so quickly, as the Watchers Guild had mastered teleportation techniques and could open portals with precision based on the coordinates he provided.
There was another loud bang, and the sewers collapsed, and the clear sunlight shone in.
An old woman in classical dress flew down.
She wore a string of strangely shaped skulls, a wrinkled face with a strange smile, and an uncomfortable black aura around her body, almost writing the words "not a good person" on the door of her head.
As soon as she flew down, she stared straight at Anna.
"Angels?"
She broke Anna's identity in one mouth.
Anna looked vigilant, and a richly decorated three-tiered altar appeared behind her, and the angel statue on the altar slowly opened her eyes, and a sense of oppressive solemnity permeated her.
The atmosphere was tense all at once.
Wang Ran frowned and stopped in front of Anna, and he asked unhappily, "What's wrong?" β
"Nothing." The old woman said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't expect to meet an angel here, it's really an honor for the old maid, but our war with the angel is over, and I have no dispute with this angel lady now." β
There was a hint of pity in her eyes.
Wang Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?" β
The old woman said slowly, "My people and I were once defined by the angels as evil, and at the worst of times, a group of beautiful women with white wings chased and killed us all over the world, and drove us to heaven and earth. β
"But then."
She sneered, "The angels are extinct." β
Wang Ran was stunned.
He turned his head to look at Anna, and saw that Anna's face was as usual, as if she already knew the news.
"How did it go extinct?"
Wang Ran asked curiously.
"I don't know." The old woman replied dryly, "All the angels disappeared overnight, leaving only their cloaks and weapons on the ground, probably wiped out in one fell swoop by some kind of curse involving blood. β
"Orβ"
She said playfully: "Strip naked and run away."
Rumble!
The holy white light rose into the sky, and Anna rushed out from behind Wang Ran at an invisible speed, holding a dazzling lightsaber in her hand, and stabbed the old woman in the forehead fiercely.
Poof-
The old woman's body exploded into a cloud of smoke.
"Hahaha!"
"Angel!"
"Let's take a look!"
"Living angels!"
Anna looked at the sky with an ugly face.
Wang Ran's eyes flickered.
Although this old woman is here to help him calm the apocalypse, judging from the current situation, this old woman has become his enemy.
If it's an enemy, there's no need to stay
"Anna, stab me."
He said softly.
Anna turned her head in confusion.
"Stab me with a sword at my vital point." Wang Ran said slowly, "I have a way to transfer the damage to the old woman just now. β
Anna looked skeptical.
She was a little skeptical that Wang Ran had fallen for the old woman's evil arts, but she didn't find any traces of manipulation from Wang Ran.
Wang Ran said in a deep voice: "Trust me. β
His physique attribute reached 10,000, and ordinary swords couldn't break through the defense, and for some reason, his doomsday body didn't carry any ancient relics, so he could only let Anna stab him with a sword.
Anna has a lot of combat experience.
She didn't hesitate for long.
After listening to Wang Ran's words, she quickly slashed the blade of her sword towards Wang Ran's neck.
Of course, she carefully controlled the dynamics.
Once she finds out that something is wrong, she will immediately turn her head around and will not really hurt Wang Ran.
At the critical moment when the sword blade was added, Wang Ran subconsciously stretched out a finger, and a strange power attached to this finger, turning this finger into the hardest part of his body.
Clang!
He easily flicked off Anna's sword.
Is this what it feels like to have two hits?
Wang Ran didn't have time to think about it.
With a thought, he activated the [Human Broom Star].
[You activated the "Human Broom Star"]
In a trance, Wang Ran saw a mushroom cloud.
"Ahh
Piercing screams rang through the air.
The figure of the old woman appeared.
The left half of her body was almost completely shaved off, and her internal organs were exposed to air.
Wang Ran was a little surprised.
He didn't know what had happened in the split second, but the old woman had clearly been hit hard.
In the name of the angels!
Anna didn't miss the opportunity.
She raised her right hand, the phantom of the Sword of Arbitration condensed in her palm.
Annihilation!
A strange force enveloped the old woman's body, and the old woman's body split into fine dots of light and scattered in all directions.
"No!"
The old woman screamed in despair.
She hadn't summoned the altar yet, she hadn't used all her strength, and this scream was her resentment and unwillingness, but it was also her last words.
She drifted away with the wind.
The battle between God and God is like this, either facing each other for a long time or dividing the winner in a very short time.
Anna glanced at Wang Ran quietly.
She was a little surprised.
She had always thought that Wang Ran was an ordinary person, but with this hand damage transfer alone, Wang Ran could play a key role in the battle between gods even if he did not become a god.
But how does damage transfer work?
Is it the power of rules?
Bang Bang Bang!
There was applause in the air.
"It's worthy of an angel, so easily killed a strong man in the same realm."
A masked god emerges from the void.
Anna's eyes wandered around.
The nearby space distorted, and more than a dozen gods stepped out in unison, one of them with a blood-glittering silk thread wrapped around his wrist.
Wang Ran stared at the god with silk threads wrapped around his wrist for a few moments.
He smelled blood.
It was the god who shaved off half of the old woman's body, allowing Anna to strike a blow.
"Hello, I'm from the Watchmen Society." The god took the initiative to speak, "May I ask what type of curse this angel lady has received?" β
He didn't say a word about the dead old woman.
The other gods were silent.
Although the old woman is a Altar Realm powerhouse, she interferes with the Nightmarish Watch mission of the Watch Society, and it is also a mission with significant influence involving many gods.
Whether it's to keep the mission on track or to defend the prestige of the Watchmen's Guild, the Watchmen's Guild has a reason to intervene.
As for the angels
It was indeed strange, because the angels had disappeared from the world for a long time, and in such a strange way that all the gods were curious about what had happened to them.
But this is not the time to discuss, and Anna is not obligated to resolve their doubts.
The top priority is to complete the watchmanship.
The second thing is to find a way to get Anna to satisfy their curiosity, but it is not an easy task, because Anna is not a weak person at the mercy of others, she has just killed an altar realm powerhouse in front of their eyes.
Despite the covert assistance of the Watchers Guild, Anna's display of strength is also very fearful of them.
Especially the phantom of that sword.
They sensed the threat of death from the shadow.
Anna was silent.
Wang Ran said, "That's right."
He gave a brief introduction to the Starfish game.
At this time, the other gods also gathered around.
"Hello, my name is Curilla."
"Char."
"Aratu!"
β.β
The gods gave their names and gave a brief introduction to themselves.
"It's been a long time since I've encountered something like this, so give it a try." The god of the Watchmen Guild asked Anna, "Can we get your body checked?" β
Anna was noncommittal.
Wang Ran said in a deep voice: "Yes, but don't offend." β
The god of the Watchers Guild nodded.
He stared into Anna's face, a strange vision welling up in his eyes.
After a few seconds, His eyes returned to their original shape.
"You can feel something very special attached to you." He said slowly, "It might hurt a little bit next, but bear with me." β
Anna was expressionless.
As a battle-hardened old angel, she was never afraid of pain.
The gods of the Watchers Guild summoned the altar.
Compared to Anna, his altar is unusually plain, although it is also three-tiered, but there is no decoration on the altar, and there is no statue standing on the altar.
Wang Ran was puzzled.
Is there also a difference between altars and altars, Anna's altar seems to be a little more advanced than this god's altar?
He didn't immediately ask questions.
Because the gods of the Watchmen Guild began to heal Anna.
The altar glowed with a heavy yellow light.
Wisps of indescribable strange rhythms vibrated all around, and Wang Ran felt a dull chest, but it was inexplicably comfortable, as if something negative had been dispersed.
Anna, as the center of power, felt a little deeper.
She could feel the resentment on her body being shaken away for a small bit, and the handwriting of the death mission in her mind became a little blurred, but she could still make out the content clearly.
Effective, but not much.
If it was easy to solve, she solved it herself.
These grievances in her body are different from those of Gonger Peak, these grievances have undergone a metamorphosis, combined with the evil thoughts of human beings and the real games, and have evolved into some strange qualities.
Like a maggot attached to the bone, lingering.
"How are you feeling?"
The god of the Watchmen Guild asked.
Anna was silent.
The god of the Watchers Guild sighed, "It doesn't seem to be of much help, and it's no wonder, after all, you angels themselves are the best race in the world sea to deal with this kind of thing. β
The other gods looked at Anna with a frown.
As bystanders, they use the knowledge of the gods to examine Anna's grievances from a higher level, and think of ways to save her.
"It's a little tricky, but it's still worth a try."
"It's a very new curse, and when I'm done with the mission, I'd like to take one back with me to study."
"Maybe something can be used to draw the resentment away from her."
"It is also possible to cut conceptually."
"It's a good idea to cut the concept, and it should work better if you cut the concept and use a substitute to attract resentment."
"I have a material called soul gold."
"This kind of material can shape strange things, has a strong attraction to strange things, and can be used as a substitute."
"Although the resentment is weird, it is not very strong."
"It's better to fight poison with poison, devour grievances with something more powerful but easy to clean, and then remove this strange thing."
β.β
The dozen gods came from more than a dozen different worlds, each sitting on a treasure trove of knowledge about their own race, brainstorming ways that would be new to Anna.
Wang Ran looked at the gods who were discussing fiercely.
He thought to himself that he had done everything he could, that it would be a waste of time to stay in the simulation, and that it was time to get back to reality.
[Soul Wandering Hundred Times], end!
