Asuka also had an easy time with it, as she and Yuri swept away the Bloody Hand Shark that had invaded the carriage with lightning speed, and the two of them ended up with a similar number of kills.

At this time, in the restaurant car, five people sat at the dining table, eating dessert after the meal.

"Fortunately, the sleeping and eating carriages were not spoiled by them." Asuka Uesugi breathed a sigh of relief.

"yes, it's time to sleep." Anson Lu yawned, "It just so happens that I'm a little sleepy." ”

At this moment, the screen of his mobile phone suddenly lit up, and when he looked at the screen, it showed that he had received a scheduled email, and the sender's ID was familiar to him.

Anson Lu stared at the ID, his pupils contracted for a moment, and he was stunned for a full two seconds, and then quickly regained his composure.

"Lu-kun, what's wrong?" Urushihara Ritsu observed the change in Anson Lu's face.

"It's fine." Anson Lu shrugged his shoulders and closed his phone, "I'll go to sleep first." ”

Without saying hello any more, he walked slowly to car 23, turned on the screen of his phone, and quietly stared at the text of the email.

The train shuttles into a sea tunnel again, the moonlight engulfed by the dark tunnel walls, the incandescent lights flicker on and off, and only the screen of the mobile phone glows dimly.

[Headmaster: I suddenly remembered one thing, if you are lucky, you and I may be able to get through this time, don't be too surprised, however, it is not the current me, but the "me" who is in the fifth round of dungeons, but rather an existence similar to me at that time. 】

Anson Lu looked at this text of unknown meaning repeatedly, and said scoldingly: "Something is wrong? Headmaster, old man, what the hell do you mean, don't riddlers don't speak, do you? ”

He continued to look down.

[Presumably with your character, when you saw this, you were already scolding me for being sick. 】

Anson Lu was silent for a moment, he touched his slightly sour nose, and laughed softly for some reason.

"Pretty self-aware." He said.

[This concept is related to parallel worlds, according to my research and observation, the game system will arrange a link plot for the first player in the current world during the fifth round of dungeons. 】

[No matter what copy you choose, there is a high probability that this plot will appear.] 】

[This link is to fight with the "strongest self" in the parallel world. 】

[That's right, the evolution game is carried out in multiple parallel worlds at the same time, and the god who controls the game wants to filter out the strongest human beings from several parallel worlds, so the game system will arrange it this way.] 】

Anson Deer's pupils contracted slightly, and he continued to look down.

[At that time, I entered a gladiatorial arena, and in that gladiatorial arena, I had a tie with myself from a parallel world, and my style was very similar to his, rather, I was almost the same person as him - no matter the personality, playing style, or chess type, we all had a 99% similarity, so we were not up or down. 】

[But you are different, you are the "Never-before-seen Anson Deer" created by me. 】

[So, this time, you should be able to share with that person, instead of just a tie with him like me.] 】

[I hope you won't lose to him, which means you lost to me.] 】

Anson put his hand on his chin, his brown eyes fixed on the text of the mail, and the train moved through the dark tunnel, like a large black snake crawling forward, hissing with steam.

He thought for a long time, "When you enter the dungeon, it seems that the gladiatorial arena is mentioned in the dungeon introduction, so it should be the last link of this dungeon?" ”

The scheduled time was two months ago.

The principal sent this email earlier than the previous one.

Maybe this old man really thought of this matter suddenly, but because of the rules, he couldn't tell Anson Lu in person, and he couldn't let him know about it in advance.

So, he sent a timed email, which was scheduled for two nights after the fifth round of dungeons began.

"Playing against the strongest self in the parallel world?" Anson Deer muttered, "The Headmaster has experienced the same thing as me, at that time, he had a tie with Anson Deer from the parallel world, and that person's style was similar to that of the Headmaster. ”

Thinking of this, Anson Lu's mood gradually cooled down - according to this line of thought, he actually didn't fight with the principal, the other party was just an existence similar to the principal.

The man wasn't the principal, but he was a lot like the principal of a few decades ago.

Anson Lu didn't know what kind of mood he was going to hold to enter that gladiatorial arena and face this so-called "strongest self in the parallel world".

What kind of chess set will the opponent use?

The headmaster said that the chess team of the person he met was very similar to him, so the chess type used by the upcoming opponent was the same chess type used by the headmaster......

"When you sleep, you'll send something boring to fool me, and if you're dead, you can be a corpse, okay?" Anson Lu yawned, tears of sleepiness welling up in his eyes.

He chose to leave the mail behind him for the time being, the gladiatorial arena was probably already the third link of the copy, and after the train arrived on Hawaii Island, first of all, he had to dispose of the second link of the copy, and then consider the third link.

The second link is related to the word "sacred tree", and Anson Lu can't imagine what it will be......

Following the ladder, he climbed to the third berth at the top.

Lie down, put your head on the pillow, turn off the incandescent lights in the carriage, and the world falls into dead silence, the train pulls out of the tunnel, and the undulating sea brings the gentle sound of the tide, and it is perfect to fall asleep with you.

Anson Lu turned his head and looked out the window, the moonlight shrouded in the quiet sea, and the tide ebbed and flowed.

Either way, at least he had a good time in the first part of the quest - wandering aimlessly around the train with Yuri, taking lots of pictures with her, touching her cold hands, looking at her expressionless little face, feeling her unambiguous gaze.

For the first time, Anson Lu felt as if he was in touch with the world.

It is no longer about being out of the world, no longer blindly watching the train move forward on that endless track, no longer blindly being pushed by the world.

The principal just pushed him and made him start to face himself, face the various faces of the world - cruel and beautiful, and let him begin to feel the emotions that were erased in that car accident - pain and happiness.

He seemed to begin to reach out to the world, at first trembling, bruised, and timid, like a hedgehog, a porcupine, afraid of being hurt, so he let himself be covered in thorns.

At this moment, the person who really took over his hand was the Icelandic girl she hadn't met for more than ten years.

"Go to sleep."

Anson Deer muttered to himself, but at the same time, he stretched out his bony left hand, silently opened the friends list, found Yuri's name, thought about it and forgot it again, and turned off the list.

"Ding."

The sound of the cell phone came from his pocket, and the teenager's messy and scattered messages were cut off, and he took the phone out of the pocket of his coat and opened the information bubble that popped up on the screen.

It was a message from her.

[Yuri: (picture) (picture) (picture) (picture) (picture). 】

A lot of pictures, the signal on the train is too poor, and it won't load for a while and a half.

Anson Lu opened the pictures, and the network loaded them round and round, and the pictures gradually appeared, one by one, and they were viewed one by one, which were the photos taken by Yuri in the clothing car during the day.

Clicking on the first photo, he sighed and smiled helplessly—it was the funny look of him in that Sherlock Holmes Cos suit and a cigarette stick, Anson Deer thought he looked weirdly stupid, but Yuri rarely seemed to be so happy.

Will she really be happy? Thinking of this, Anson Lu remembered the sequence mission in the library car, where Yuri hid the book "Autumn Day in the Snow" behind him, the light white hair covering the side of her face, and there was a tear stain in the corner of her reddened eyes.

It seems that she is no longer what she used to be, she looks like a puppet, she can't feel the slightest emotion, and when she is close to her, all she can feel is a sense of distance and alienation.

At the time, Anson Deer relied heavily on this sense of distance.

He liked that feeling, which made him feel safe, not afraid of the relationship breaking down, not afraid of finding his hideous face hidden under the hippie smile because the other person was too close, and the loneliness that could not be vented.

But now it's different, and he doesn't know how to describe his feelings.

Either way, they all seem to be becoming whole, and they're all going through things they haven't experienced in the last decade or so — growing up with friends, changing together, traveling together.

That's enough.

Anson Lu was in a happy mood, continued to flip back, and saw the group photo.

Yuri was wearing a cheongsam, half of her face was shrouded in faint light and shadow, her eyelashes were dyed golden, her snow-white hair swayed gently, her slender hand held Anson Lu's arm, and his serious little face was only a stone's throw away from him, almost touching him.

The Anson deer in the photo has a slightly open mouth, its ears and face are a little red, and its brown eyes are written with sluggishness.

Although Anson Lu felt that in this photo, he was a little unbearable to look at directly, and Yuri's half of his face could not be seen clearly, but he still collected this photo in the album.

He stared at the photo for a moment, and suddenly remembered Yuri's words - "It can be outside of the family." ”

Anson Deer shrugged his shoulders, his face still a little hot, he was thinking that he and this Icelandic girl should be together, right? Outside of friends, outside of family, aren't there only lovers?

Of course, or maybe this common sense fool from Iceland has aliens and things like aliens in his head?

Either way, that's after the end of the evolutionary game.

That was their agreement.

In other words, if the principal knew that the so-called "unprecedented Anson deer" that he had put so much effort into cultivating would be so angry that he would vomit blood with these things in his mind, right?

As soon as Anson Lu thought of this, he happily turned over on the bed, and now thinking back to the old man, he was not so sad Although he said goodbye to the principal, it was not that there were no new people around him.

Only, put an end to this evolutionary game once and for all, and let the world return to normal operation.

In the future, everyone can stay together forever, maybe he can open a bookstore, hang out in Shangshi City, go to Tokyo with Yuri to find crows to ski during the holidays, or go to a string of Teacher Chu's kendo gym - Chu Qimo said that he would open a kendo gym in the future, and with his strength, it is no problem to support himself by teaching kendo.

And what about Asuka?

How the Uesugi family will arrange her future, Anson Lu is not clear, but everything does not matter, as long as she can survive this crisis safely, the future is still very long, they are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and life has just begun.

He stretched out his finger and typed with the phone's input method.

[Anson Lu: Okay, then I'll be merciful enough to accept these photos.] 】

After more than ten seconds, Yuri replied to the message.

[Yuri: Sleepy, good night.] 】

[Anson Deer: Okay, good night.] 】

Anson Lu finished sending the message, put the phone next to the pillow, and glanced at the empty sleeper car.

It's only eight o'clock in the evening, and Qi Yuanlu and Chu Qimo haven't returned to the carriage yet.

At this time, the two of them are probably still drinking and chatting in the restaurant car.

Asuka is also a night owl, during the holidays, she often plays console games until midnight, and the next day she can get up early and run to the beach to surf with a travel roll, which is simply a representative of "energetic", but Anson Deer admires her very much.

But after all, look at the current momentum: you can reach Hawaii Island tomorrow at the earliest, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, and then you may not be able to eat and play as well as on the train.

They can't take advantage of the fact that the first part is not over and enjoy it for a while longer.

There was no word all night.

On the morning of February 3, the sky was clear and the sea and sky were colorful.

The 1,500-meter-long train is like an indestructible icebreaker, swinging through the ice floes, speeding over the sun-lit sea, and the track is about to come to an end.

Soon after, the sea train ended its two-day, two-night journey and followed the tracks into a thriving island, stopping at a spectacular black sand beach.

When Anson Deer opened his eyes, the train had already arrived on the island of Hawaii.

He yawned, turned his head, and looked out the window, where he was greeted by a scene of black sand, reciprocating waves, a vast forest in the distance, and a volcano of gray and scarlet above.

What's even more visually stunning is that a pitch-black fortress built in the crater of a volcano, Anson Deer's pupils contracted when his eyes touched this huge object, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This is a giant black tree large enough to penetrate the sky.

The giant tree is rooted in the mountains, drawing on the lava of the volcano, and only the middle part of the giant tree is exposed beyond the clouds, and the upper part is obscured by stormy clouds.

At first, Anson Deer didn't see it as a tree, but thought it was a huge fortress built on top of a volcanic crater, or some other magnificent structure.

He estimated with his eyes that the giant tree would have to be at least 2,000 meters tall.

Moreover, this is the most conservative estimate, as for the exact height of this giant tree, it depends on the upper part of the storm cloud......

Even more incredible than the tree itself is that from a distance, a swarthy dragon can be seen tightening its wings and perched in the middle of the pitch-black tree.

The black dragon raised its head and stared at the sky proudly.

"Oh, the dragons are out." Anson Lu stared at the pitch-black dragon that was about 600 meters above the giant tree, and muttered in surprise: "It seems that this second link will definitely not be very simple. ”

Dragon?

A black dragon perched on a sacred tree?

There is no need to guess at all, Anson Deer can clearly conclude that this dragon is most likely the boss of the second link.

Climb the sacred tree and overturn the dragon.

The tone of the second part of the dungeon is about this.

Although the height of this giant tree is exaggerated, how to climb the giant tree is not a problem for the people of Hell Lighthouse.

After all, Ritsu Urushihara, Asuka, Yuri, and Anson Deer themselves all have strong flying abilities - Ritsu Ushihara can control crows; Asuka can turn into a red dragon; Yori can create ice surfaces; Anson Deer has a Christmas sleigh.

In the union, it is not surprising that Yu Liwu and Chu Qimo have flying skills, but it is not surprising that Yu Liwu has developed any skills in his sequence.

As for Mr. Chu, just find someone to take him to fly up.

"Lu-kun, it's time to go." A lazy voice came from the lower bunk.

Anson Deer pulled his head from the railing of the upper bunk and glanced at the urusila - the crow had just woken up, yawning and opening the album covering his face, revealing the feminine face.

"Everyone else is awake?" Anson Deer asked disdainfully.

"It should have been to the restaurant car, and the train stopped for almost an hour." Ritsu Urushihara got up from the bed.

"Let's go, wash up and eat." Anson Lu looked out the window again, and said thoughtfully: "This copy, now it seems that the difficulty is definitely much higher than we imagined. ”

At this moment, from the giant tree standing in the crater, a dragon roar suddenly sounded through the sky, the entire Hawaii island trembled, and the birds in the forest were frightened.

"At the moment, it's not easy." Urushihara moved his dark eyes and looked out the window as well.

"Raven, what level do you think that dragon is?"

"No matter what level it is, since it appears in the form of a dragon, it seems that there is room for us to play." The corners of Qi Yuanlu hooked the corners of his mouth, and he said in a flat voice.

"After all, the world boss is a snow dragon." Anson Lu shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "However, dragons are not necessarily the top species in the evolution game, for example, if you look at the crying bag surnamed Uesugi, does your impression of dragons suddenly collapse?" ”

"That's just as well."

"Huh?" A clear voice came from the next car, "Which one did you say was surnamed Uesugi?" ”

It seemed that Asuka had woken up, she walked in impatiently, and looked at Anson Deer unhappily: "President Deer, I just got up early in the morning, and I just said bad things about me, right, it's rare that I want to come and call you for dinner." ”

"Okay, okay, it's time to eat." Anson Deer jumped out of bed, put on his shoes, and washed up in the toilet.

Soon, the system prompt sounded in the ears of the five people.

[The first part of the triple structure dungeon "Sea Train, Sacred Tree and Colosseum" has ended, so please log in to Hawaii Island as soon as possible and enter the nearest resort to start the second part of the dungeon]
