Chapter 196: The Weight of Wishes
It was a really hard-fought victory.
In the reality plane, the moment Qin Ze saw the crack appear, he tried to contact Lu Qing.
But Lu Qing was no longer able to respond.
Unlike the last time, the last time, when Qiao Wei successfully cleared the customs, the two still had a certain amount of time to communicate.
It's a farewell.
When it is seen that the rules are truly revealed, and it is learned that the people of the spirit world cannot return and will remain in this world forever-
Lu Qing, the real "Li Qingzhao", fell into despair.
The view outside the crack is certainly beautiful.
But Qin Ze also knew one thing very well.
"Once I step into the crack, there is probably no way to save Lu Qing."
The longer the mask is worn, the more memories of someone recorded on a particular day in the "Pinching Diary" will flood in.
The page that Qin Ze turned to belonged to Nuwa.
And this day was a day full of remorse for Nuwa.
Qin Ze sorted out the Dragon Boat Tribulation, his experience in the field of this god of game entertainment.
"At first, I thought you asked me to come here to get a title."
"But now I find out that the title doesn't matter at all, it's just a grand cannon fodder operation."
"I don't know how the five gods of Valhalla are playing, but I think they have something in mind."
"The initial choice is the most important, and this determines the golden finger in each plane."
"Dozens of choices, which also led to everyone being shunted."
"Subsequently, I saw the historical ...... of Linxiang City"
"Although Lucifer came to the conclusion that the two worlds are not related, the conclusion I came to was somewhat frightening......"
"At this time, I thought you wanted me to find the truth of history."
"It wasn't until I killed the second brother that I found that the second brother could actually control the old calendar. Or rather, the early albacy. β
"I wondered, could it be that you are here for this."
Little Joe occasionally lets Qiao Wei see some scenes. But Xiao Qiao was not around, Qin Ze's self-talk, no one would respond and hear.
Qin Ze just felt that there were too many secrets hidden in this place.
Probably less than 10 percent of your own exploration? Or fifteen percent?
In short, there are still too many secrets to unravel.
But now, he discovers that none of these secrets matter.
The important thing is that his wife, who has a very important "anchor", stayed in this world.
The cracks were disappearing little by little, and Qin Ze observed the surroundings and quickly found the boundary.
In essence, this Baichuan City is also a closed space, but it is much wider than the spirit world.
There is no way back.
Moreover, all the buildings in Baichuan City are in a closed state.
An eerie fog blocked the entrance to the building in Baichuan City.
You can't explore, and if you don't get out of here before the rift disappears completely, you'll be trapped in this place forever.
Qin Ze didn't leave.
"It is the husband's job to fill his wife's regrets. Not to mention ......"
"I promised her more than once that I would take her home."
Qin Ze turned his back and no longer looked at the cracks.
Now, he could guess that he and Lu Qing were probably imprisoned in two sub-planes.
If the entire traverser option enters a large plane, then he and Lu Qing are in the sub-plane.
"Anything can be analyzed for what it is."
"I can establish contact with Lu Qing, it can be seen that we are not far apart. Real-world monsters are attacked, affecting the soul. β
"The killing of souls will have a huge impact on the real world."
"The two worlds are actually very close......"
"Soul, Reality ......"
Qin Ze remembered that there was indeed some kind of power that could open the channel between the soul and reality.
In the land of athletics, he had seen the ferryman summon the River Styx. And the bottom of the River Styx is the entrance to hell.
"If I can master that power, will I be able to enter this game plane...... World of the Dead? β
"As long as I can enter the world of the dead, the distance between me and Lu Qing must not be too far, otherwise it will be impossible to communicate at will before......"
Qin Ze's intuition was very accurate, and he had a hunch that in this plane, the real world and the soul world were not far away.
But the point was that he couldn't find that entrance.
In other words, he doesn't have the ability to open the world of the dead.
This ability is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.
"Even if I put on a mask, even if I now have the same power as Nuwa, there is still no soul-related power in the skill library."
Qin Ze was in trouble.
"Maybe the god of stitching has this ability, wipe the neck and reopen? Then compare with the god of stitching, I will master his abilities first as a temporary worker...... Or did he sew me first? β
"It's not feasible, not to mention whether this monster has this ability, even if it does, his ability is far more than Qiao Wei's temporary worker ability, conservatively estimated to be thousands. Even if I was lucky, I might not be able to learn. β
"And the ability of the other party is not necessarily the ability of the old calendar system, it is likely that these guys from ancient times are the ability of another system. It is very unlikely that a part-time worker will be able to learn. β
"Even if they are all satisfied...... I'm no match for the God of Stitching either. β
The soul of the god of stitching was furious and was broken by words, but this state was not permanent.
If the battle line is lengthened, Qin Ze and Lu Qing will be defeated.
It is not feasible to reopen and re-challenge the God of Stitching in order to master its power.
There are still ten minutes left before the crack is gone.
At this time, the soul world also dimmed, and Lu Qing's emotions had reached the point of collapse.
Qin Ze looked at the sky, and actually had an answer in his heart.
He knew he had a power in him that could help him achieve his goals.
But the problem is that he did not dare to use this power.
The power of the old calendar is above all else.
No matter how terrible these legends were, the ancestors of the old calendar, the god of stitching, and the gods of game entertainment......
But now this era is called the Old Calendar Era.
And in Qin Ze's hands, he has the power that can make him grow savagely.
This power, on his fingers. It was a black ring.
It seemed that he sensed some kind of opportunity, and the ring in Qin Ze's hand was also emitting black light.
Hold a black mask.
This cursed thing turned out to be Qin Ze's only breaking point at this moment.
He knew his time was running out.
"To save Lu Qing, to save Lu Qing at the moment when the crack closes!"
Qin Ze is not a hesitant person.
All he needed was a little courage.
This courage comes from previous experiences, ten times in a row, the girl who longs to go home has chosen to give herself the opportunity again and again.
and his wife, who never let go of this girl in his heart.
At this moment, Qin Ze's heart was full of determination.
"I'm a crazy person, too."
Holding the black mask, or the black ring, the black light emitted became more and more dazzling.
It senses, senses that a person is longing for its power.
After Qin Ze "tamed" the black mask for the first time, the mask did not bewitch Qin Ze.
It may feel that this person cannot be attracted by temptation, and can only wait for an opportunity!
And this time is now.
"No problem, I can help you! You're in great shape, and there's no power that the old calendar can't solve! β
"The old calendar is above all else! What games with the god of entertainment, what reality with the soul in the way! β
"Just make a wish to me! Just make a wish to me and you can wipe everything out! β
At the beginning, the principal of Jingquan Academy was bewitched by this force.
Ultimately...... All the students of Jingquan Academy have become "good students".
Qin Ze knew very well that this was a deal with the devil. He didn't have a choice, but he had his own preparations.
"Say what you want! Say what you want!! β
The ring gradually became distorted, like a cloud of black smoke.
This cloud of smoke enveloped Qin Ze, and gradually, as Qin Ze's desire gradually became clear, the smoke covered the mask of changing jobs.
"I want to have the ability to connect the real world and the spirit world in this game!"
Qin Ze didn't say directly, I want to master the ability to enter the soul world.
He added a key restriction "in this game".
Qin Ze knew very well that the more restrictions, the more precise his wishes would be.
And the smaller the desire, the smaller the backlash. The wish itself is a means of defense.
But his defenses don't stop there.
The whole body of the job mask is white, and the black mask makes the other side of the professional mask ...... Appears black.
At this moment, Qin Ze shouted a person's name loudly in his heart!
"LΓΌ Buwei!"
"Willing to serve you, my master! I already know what you're going through, and I'm going to share it with you just like last time! β
LΓΌ Buwei's voice appeared in Qin Ze's mind.
This person, who was also transformed into "absolutely serving himself" by the old calendar, as a person lurking in Qin Ze's soul, began to bear a part of the backlash from the black mask for Qin Ze.
Black and white are half in the mask.
Qin Ze only felt countless violent desires surging from the depths of his heart.
At this moment, his wish was granted.
And with the help of Lu Buwei and the "Changing Career Mask", the black mask did not completely distort Qin Ze.
His body did not completely change into the form of the old calendar like the headmaster of Jingquan Academy.
The Pudu sentient beings in the mask of reincarnation, as well as the existence of LΓΌ Buwei, gave Qin Ze a short-lived ...... Fight against the will to hold the black mask.
At this moment, Qin Ze has the ability to open the barrier between the soul and the reality plane in this game.
It's just that the time is short.
Resisting the temptation to hold a black mask, and staying awake with a black mask, are two very different things.
The latter is much more difficult than the former.
Qin Ze's mask was half black and half white at first, but the black was eroding the white little by little.
Once the mask turns completely black, he will be completely reduced to a slave who wields the black mask, becoming a "monster" wandering in the plane of reality and soul.
Qin Ze knew that he had to race against time!
In his eyes, everything became illusory, as if the entire space was foggy.
Under the dual power of holding the black mask and the transformation mask, Qin Ze burst out with a loud cry, and in the void, a crack was torn out.
The barriers of reality and soul can no longer hinder him!
β¦β¦
In the soul plane, Lu Qing finally collapsed.
"I don't want to stay! I don't want to stay! Take me away! Please, take me away! β
Mournful wails overlapped and resounded in the dark space.
She was so scared because she didn't know that she would have to live in this world for hundreds of years.
She missed Jovi, she longed to see her best friend, and she wanted to go back to the world where there were no monster footsteps and howls at night, only neon lights and human voices.
She waited a long time, but in the end, she still paid the price of kindness.
This cry is so desperate. But with a light shining in...... Lu Qing was suddenly stunned.
She looked up and watched as something that looked like a crack was spreading.
At this moment, she thought she had seen a hallucination.
"Don't cry! Don't cry! I said, I'll take you home! β
A person who had never seen it before appeared in Lu Qing's eyes.
The man's long hair danced, with a bewitching beauty, like a woman.
But his voice was a mixture of two familiar voices.
Yes, whether it is a male or female voice in the voice, she is very familiar.
Qiao Wei, Qin Ze.
Lu Qing never thought that these two voices would be mixed together.
Her tears still couldn't be stopped, but they had a temperature.
When the light shone on her face, her eyes, which were already dim, also brightened.
The man with the mask is like tearing a hole in the night sky.
Lu Qing never thought that in the most desperate time, someone would really come to save him.
Even if you break the rules of the game, you have to save yourself!
The cracks spread, and the night spread out like a swarm of insects expelled by firelight.
That complex sense of familiarity became stronger and stronger, and when the person wearing the mask came to Lu Qing's side......
Lu Qing's face was full of tears, and he said in disbelief:
"What the hell are you ...... Who is it? β
Qin Ze didn't want to answer any time-wasting questions at this time.
He's really trying his best to resist the erosion of the black mask.
But he still said mildly:
"Jovi never forgot you."
The torn crack was healing rapidly, Qin Ze picked up Lu Qing, bowed down to exert his strength, jumped into the crack.
This jump, which crosses the soul and reality, seems to bring a person back to the realm of the living from the Yellow Spring.
Lu Qing couldn't appreciate the scene where the light suddenly intensified.
All she had in her mind was what Qin Ze had said.
Jovi never forgot you.
This sentence was like turning on a switch, making her tears even more surging than when she collapsed and despaired before.
"You're Vivi's ......"
"Yes, I am her husband, she entrusted me to save you, you are her best friend in this world. Of course, she can't forget you. β
This extreme experience is like going from hell to heaven in an instant, and the great sense of despair has not yet subsided, and it is enveloped in infinite happiness.
Lu Qing didn't know how to express his joy for a while.
Qin Ze's body has already begun to show some signs of old-fashionedness.
He knew that if he didn't take off the black mask, he would have to get in.
But he finally brought Lu Qing back to the real world.
The crack that went to the world had already appeared in front of the two of them.
There are still four minutes left before the cracks in the return are gone.
Qin Ze did not hesitate, and directly took Lu Qing and rushed into the crack.
Then, he didn't care about the changes in his surroundings or why it looked like a tavern.
Qin Ze gasped violently, and pressed one hand on the mask, wanting to remove the mask.
The billowing black fog kept emerging, and this scene frightened Lu Qing.
She left the greatest kindness to Qin Ze again and again, but she didn't know what the sacrifice Qin Ze made in response to this kindness.
When Qin Ze's left hand tried to remove the mask, the other hand, which seemed to lose control, actually pressed his right hand fiercely.
The voice of demagogy sounded:
"Why separate? Isn't there a soul in this game that you want to get back? β
"Don't be separated from me, use my strength, even if you return to another world...... You too can tear apart the barrier between your soul and reality again! β
The black on the mask began to erode the white frantically.
Qin Ze realized that he relied on his own strength to ...... I guess I can't take off my mask.
Unlike the last time, he didn't use the mask and didn't make a wish, so he was able to take it off.
But this time he made a wish. No one can get help from the devil without paying the price.
Just as the black was about to erode all the white, Qin Ze shouted:
"Lu Qing! Destroy the mask! β
