Chapter 177: Shadow Demon (95/101)
"It turned out to be three great drivers."
At this time, Lu Mei walked out of the mountain temple.
Suddenly, Yang Yuan and the three of them looked over in surprise.
Because Lu Mei at this moment, and Lu Mei who they saw last time, are like two people.
Last time, they had seen each other once before they left Sanjin Mountain.
But at that time, the other party was still a dignified and beautiful woman, and she didn't even have the temperament of a strong person, only dignified and gentle, giving people the feeling of a good wife and mother.
But nowβ
The other party has silver-white waist-length hair, his pupils have turned silver-gray, and he is also wearing a silver-gray long skirt, giving people a strange feeling that the other party is not human.
At this moment, Lu Mei has a very violent but forcibly suppressed emotional restlessness.
In addition to these, there is also the sense of dead silence that permeates the entire mountain god.
"I haven't seen you for many days, and the change in Meishan God is really great."
Yang Yuan sighed with emotion.
"Mr. Yang Yuan, let's call me Lu Mei, in front of you, I, the mountain god, am nothing at all."
Lu Mei's voice was still gentle, but compared to before, it seemed much colder.
There is a deep sense of loneliness in her real god-like temperament.
Perhaps it was affected by the spiritual power that permeated the entire mountain god mountain, and Yang Yuan couldn't help but feel an urge to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.
Of course, it's just a feeling that Lu Mei's level is only forty-two or three at most, and he is still in the early stage of the prefecture level, and he can't really affect him yet.
As she spoke, Lu Mei glanced at the building in the sky that was squeezing the sky, and said, "Let's talk inside, that building puts too much pressure on me." β
With that, she turned and entered the mountain temple.
Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan glanced at each other, and then followed.
Zhao Jiayan immediately asked Jiang Yiyi to close the door of the space and followed.
Speaking of which, this was the first time they had entered the mountain temple.
Last time, because they didn't trust Yan Chenggong, they didn't enter here.
Now, they naturally can't fully trust Lu Mei, but their strength has long been different.
Not to mention that Yang Yuan himself has also reached the prefecture level, Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi have even reached the limit of the earth.
Lu Mei really wanted to be stupid, even if she attacked at close range, it would be impossible to hurt them.
The layout inside the mountain temple is simple.
The first thing you see when you enter the door is the statue of the mountain god.
It was originally a statue of Yan Chenggong before, but now, it has become a statue of Lu Mei.
Because he had seen the drawings given by Lu Mei, Yang Yuan was very familiar with the layout here.
The structure of the mountain temple is also very simple, except for the main hall where the statues of the gods are placed, there is a side hall on the left and right.
There is a back hall at the back, which is the dormitory, a place to sleep.
There is no breath of life at all.
As a mountain god, theoretically you don't need to eat, and you can hardly go hungry.
Eating is just satisfying the appetite.
Lu Mei took Yang Yuan and the three of them to the side hall, invited the three of them to sit down separately, and sat down cross-legged opposite the desk.
"Do you know what the building that fell from the sky?" Yang Yuan asked straight to the point.
Lu Mei groaned slightly, and then replied: "I don't know the specifics, but it should be the location of the authority of the game administrator, I don't know much about the game government, I only know that if you control that building, you can control the life and death of people like me." β
Yang Yuan suddenly asked, "If, I mean, if I fight, do you think I have any hope of seizing control of that building?" β
Lu Mei shook her head without hesitation this time: "As far as I know, without permission, you can't even enter that building, let alone enter it to obtain permission." β
Moreover, the place where the building fell would definitely be extremely far away from here.
But because she knew that Yang Yuan had such a thing as a space gate, she wasn't sure if Yang Yuan would be able to arrive there at a fixed time.
Yang Yuan asked again, "What will happen after that building falls?" β
This time, Lu Mei was silent for a long time before replying: "For us, it is a good thing and a bad thing. β
"How?" Yang Yuan's heart moved.
Lu Mei organized the following language: "When you were still in the Earth Age, did you think it was better to be in the country or abroad?" β
Needless to say?
Yang Yuan understood: "You mean to say that the creatures of the Creation Continent have the hope of obtaining administrator privileges?" Or ......"
Zhao Jiayan immediately took over his topic: "Or, even if the creatures of the Creation Continent cannot obtain permission, they can coerce those with authority to change the law and other laws through demonstrations or personal threats. β
"It's an interesting analogy, that's pretty much it, of course, it's all just my guess, I'm just making inferences based on what I know, and I don't know exactly what it is."
Lu Mei said: "But this is only a matter for the future, what we have to face now is that the game may be tested in advance, because the advent of the permission building means that the changes will increase, and the game government is likely to increase its efforts, or pay a greater price, to promote gamification." β
"Gamification might be accelerated?" Yang Yuan's heart sank.
Lu Mei said: "According to my speculation, the Creation Continent is probably not the only game world of the game government, the Creation Continent is just being produced, and in other places, it is likely that there are already game worlds that have been made a long time ago. But ......"
After a pause, she added: "Based on the information I know and some external phenomena, it is speculated that the game world will also have a completely different nature. β
"What do you mean?" Yang Yuan asked.
Lu Mei explained: "Just like the chicken game and the racing game in the Earth era, there may be overlap, but it is definitely not the same game. Tetris and whack-a-mole, for example, are certainly of a completely different nature. β
Yang Yuan suddenly said: "What is the nature of the Creation Continent?" β
"The nature of breaking the level, plus the nature of solving puzzles." Lu Mei said.
Yang Yuan nodded: "What about the phenomenon?" What happens when that building falls? I sensed the threat, and after that building fell, it would never be peaceful. β
"Mr. Yang Yuan is already standing too tall and has begun to ignore the foot of the mountain?" Lu Mei suddenly asked an inexplicable word.
However, Zhao Jiayan reacted suddenly: "Do you want to say that the building did not appear on the Creation Continent in a mysterious way, but really fell from the sky so physically......
"That's going to ask Mr. Yang Yuan." Lu Mei said.
ββ¦β¦β
Yang Yuan had nothing to say, his Falling Treasure Gourd was to force all objects that were illuminated by the Falling Treasure Light to fall.
If the building is big, or even not big, but because the level is high enough, the power is big enoughβ
What kind of terrifying movement must be caused by falling from outside the heavens that I don't know how high?
The fall of meteorites from the age of the earth may lead to the extinction of life on earth.
Such a building that surpassed the heavenly level fell......
"The Creation Continent won't be destroyed, will it?" Yang Yuan asked.
"Mr. Yang Yuan, the little woman is just a little mountain god, not an omnipotent god." Lu Mei was helpless.
"I thought you had the authority to know more."
Yang Yuan regretted it and suddenly asked, "Do you want to get out of the game?" β
Lu Mei's silver-gray pupils flashed slightly: "I want to get rid of the mountain god personality, I want to become a player." β
"Players should also be controlled by the game government, right?" Zhao Jiayan asked.
Lu Mei didn't answer the question, obviously it was no longer in her consideration.
The best of both worlds can't be said to be none, at least she can't think of it.
"Have you figured out a way?" Yang Yuan asked.
Lu Mei turned her head to look at the statue of the mountain god in the main hall, and said a topic that seemed to have nothing to do with it: "The statue of the mountain god and the mountain god mountain are one with each other, regardless of each other, to a certain extent, the statue of the mountain god is my body, and now I am just a doppelganger." β
"What about the Mountain God Order?" Yang Yuan asked again.
"The Mountain God Order can be regarded as a soul-like existence bred by the Mountain God Mountain." Lu Mei explained.
Yang Yuan understood, groaned, and said: "I can directly transform you, so that you should be able to get rid of the shackles of the Mountain God Mountain, but the flaw is very big, you can't get rid of me from now on, for example, you have an adventure outside, and it is difficult to rely on the adventure to improve your strength." β
Lu Mei was silent, obviously unable to accept such a flaw, because her goal in life was to settle accounts with the game government, and it was impossible to stay by Yang Yuan's side.
"Is there any other way?" She asked in a low voice.
Yang Yuan was about to speak.
Suddenly, Jiang Yiyi suddenly looked at the corner of the side hall.
Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan noticed Jiang Yiyi's behavior and turned around suddenly.
Lu Mei also looked at the past suspiciously, and the spiritual storm that enveloped the entire Mountain God Mountain was faintly fluctuating.
At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded: "Maybe I can help you." β
As the voice came out, I saw a corner of the main hall, and a dark figure slowly condensed from the virtual to the real.
The figure was more than five meters tall, like a black mountain, exuding an uncomfortable cold aura.
"Who?"
Yang Yuan, Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi subconsciously raised their arms and were about to shoot arrows.
Lu Mei is also like a great enemy, you must know that even if Yang Yuan and the three of them directly enter the Mountain God Mountain by using the door of space, she can detect it at the first time.
But this mysterious existence in front of her, she didn't know how the other party entered the mountain god mountain.
"I'm Shadowfiend, a free-roaming being in the game world."
Ignoring the threat of Yang Yuan and the others, the Shadow Demon slowly walked towards them, revealing a hint of mystery in his voice: "I heard your conversation, maybe I can help you make your wish come true." β
Lu Mei's silver-gray eyes flashed with anticipation, but she asked vigilantly, "Can you fulfill my wish?" My wish is to be free from the shackles of the mountain gods. β
The Shadow Demon smiled slightly, and took out a black gem from his body: "This is the Heart of Darkness, with it, you can freely control your own destiny and no longer be bound by anything." β
Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan glanced at each other, and both frowned slightly.
The two are suspicious of the Shadow Demon's identity and true intentions.
"I think it's better for you not to trust him just yet." Yang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Lu Mei nodded, even if she and Yang Yuan were not very familiar, but compared to this uninvited guest, Yang Yuan was at least a human being: "Let's talk about your identity first, are you from outside the sky?" Or, you're a game government guy yourself? Also, why are you helping me? What is your purpose? β
"That's right, I'm from outside the world, what a big scene, I really came to see the play, and the result is ...... Needless to say, I was dragged down by a ray of light. β
When the Shadow Demon said this, he was quite angry.
Yang Yuan, Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi were silent and did not react.
And the Phantom Demon quickly got rid of that emotion, looked at Lu Mei, and said with a smile: "You want to know my identity?" Okay, I'm the agent of the abyss, of course, in the outside world, I'm a member of the 'Shadow Adventure Group', our Shadow Adventure Group, which is a free adventure group in the Heavens Game, and we all have one pursuit, that is, freedom. I am willing to help you because I believe that you also seek freedom. β
"It's as simple as that?"
Yang Yuan asked, "Heart of Darkness, it's a strange thing, right?" The use of strange things comes at a price. β
Lu Mei's eyes remained unchanged, but she couldn't help asking, "What is the price?" β
"The price is ......"
The Shadow Demon groaned and said: "The price is, like me, to become the agent of the abyss, from now on, you are a person without a shadow, you yourself are a shadow, you can only live in the shadow forever, just like me, I was not what I am now, this dark heart, is a strange thing in the sky, but at the same time, it is also a strange thing, a strange thing produced by the spirit of the 'abyss', which you can't imagine." β
Abyss?
A combination of heavenly wonders and spirits?
Several people present felt magical.
"What is the Abyss?" Lu Mei asked with a frown, very wary of this word.
"Abyss, ......"
The Shadow Demon smiled, his eyes were quite meaningful: "In the very ancient records, it should be a world like your Creation Continent, but the game government has gone too far, and the whole world has tried its best to resist, and more than ninety percent of the lives have voluntarily sacrificed themselves into the will of the world, and the whole world has become a whole since then." If it weren't for this incident, your world would probably have come to that point, it's really ...... It's a pity. β
Yang Yuan and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
"It's a pity that the original big drama was disturbed by a light, the fall of the temporary authority building of the game government is a great loss for the game government, but it is a great opportunity for the creation continent."
The Shadow Demon sighed, smiled, and continued, "The Heart of Darkness is also called the 'Heart of Freedom', and it can make you whole. That's right, in the true sense of wholeness, even if your soul is deprived and you are forcibly enslaved, you can become whole and no longer bound, but at the cost of becoming a member of the abyss. β
"And then? Will the abyss make me do anything? Lu Mei asked.
She would never be limited by anyone, otherwise she would have directly agreed to Yang Yuan's plan before.
The Shadow Demon said with a smirk, "If you were asked to fight against the game government, would you agree?" β
Lu Mei's eyes flashed: "I will!" β
She said it very firmly.
The Shadow Demon's eyes lit up: "It's still a companion, then you don't have to worry, as long as you always stand on the opposite side of the game government, the abyss will not do you any harm, and even, will try to help you." β
Zhao Jiayan couldn't help but ask: "This is a mountain temple, what you say will not be monitored by the game government?" β
"You think the game government is so idle? And even if you hear it, what if you hear it? Billions of lives like mine are saying it every day, but after endless years, isn't it still like that? β
The Phantom Demon didn't care, he looked at Lu Mei again: "Okay, I'm done with what I should say, whether you want to choose or not, it's up to you, I just happened to fall here, and I heard your words, so I will help you...... By the way, this heart of darkness has to be bought with money, and I can give it to you on credit in advance, but in the future, you need to pay me a cosmic crystal. β
"What is a cosmic crystal?" Lu Mei asked.
"It's a currency, you don't need it now, you just remember it."
The Shadow Demon threw the Heart of Darkness straight over.
Lu Mei subconsciously caught it: "What agreement doesn't need to be signed?" You're not afraid that I'll regret it? β
"Hehe, no life dares to owe me money."
The Shadow Demon smiled coldly, and then smiled again: "Of course, for the sake of you being a companion, I can allow you to delay the repayment, unless you can't think about it at any time, and you have to side with the game government." β
As the words fell, his figure slowly disappeared as it had come.
"Wait, how?" Lu Mei hurriedly asked.
"Swallow it."
The Shadow Demon vanished completely.
"It's gone." Jiang Yiyi whispered.
Yang Yuan nodded and looked at Lu Mei: "Are you really going to use this dark heart?" β
"Or is there a better way for Mr. Yang Yuan?" Lu Mei asked rhetorically.
Yang Yuan was silent, at least for now, there was no good way for him to help Lu Mei get rid of the shackles of the Mountain Temple.
"Then bless me."
Lu Mei's dead eyes showed a crazy smile: "It's just a big deal." β
With that, she swallowed the black stone directly.
The next moment, under the gaze of Yang Yuan and the others, her whole body became pitch black, and the shadow under her feet disappeared directly...... No, to be exact, it was the shadow that shrank back and became one with her.
The process was very short and ended in just a few seconds.
"How?" Zhao Jiayan asked.
"I sensed it."
Lu Mei, who had turned into a black humanoid creature, turned around and looked at her idol, and with a wave of her hand, a ray of light flew out directly from the idol, submerging into her body.
"Bang-"
The statue of the mountain god collapsed directly, turned into powder, and scattered with the wind.
At the same time, a godhead flew out.
"Boomβ"
A blood-colored lightning suddenly appeared in the sky over the entire Mountain God Mountain, but I don't know if it was because Lu Mei didn't really die or for some reason, this blood-colored lightning was very small.
On the mountain god mountain, everyone looked at the blood-colored lightning that suddenly appeared in surprise.
Chang Xinfei, who was helping a group of ordinary people hoe the ground, changed her face and hurriedly turned into a streamer and rushed towards the top of the mountain.
Inside the temple of the mountain god.
Lu Mei's whole aura changed, not becoming stronger, but becoming nothing.
If it weren't for the fact that they could still see her, they would have thought that she didn't exist at all.
"The feeling of freedom ......"
Lu Mei felt that her connection with the Mountain God Mountain had disappeared, and her spirit was a little crazy, but she murmured very calmly in her heart: "Although I don't know what the abyss is, this is what I want!" β
Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan glanced at each other, and they didn't know what to say.
Because the current Lu Mei is obviously no longer human.
"The Heart of Darkness is supposed to be a pollutant-like curiosity."
Zhao Jiayan said in disbelief: "Are you still yourself now?" β
"Yes, I'm still that Lu Mei, but my soul seems to have a sustenance, I'...... It can be regarded as an immortal existence. β
Lu Mei's voice was a little weird: "Even if I really die, the abyss will resurrect me, it turns out that this is the abyss." β
Yang Yuan frowned, feeling that this abyss was so evil.
"Meishan Divine ......"
At this time, Chang Xinfei rushed into the mountain temple, and when she saw that where the original god statue was, there was only one godhead left, and her face suddenly changed.
"I'm here."
Lu Mei walked out of the side hall.
Chang Xinfei turned around and saw Lu Mei, who had become like a three-dimensional shadow, and said in surprise: "How did you become like this?" β
At this time, she saw Yang Yuan and the others, and hurriedly saluted: "Benefactor, you are also here." β
Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan both nodded, looking at Lu Mei with a somewhat complicated mood, as well as the godhead suspended in the air.
At this moment, the godhead may be because it has become an ownerless thing, and as before, it reflects the entire mountain temple, and then lets the mountain temple shine and shine for a hundred miles.
"I didn't expect that the godhead that I couldn't see with my own eyes at the beginning is now seeing it again."
Yang Yuan sighed with emotion, looking at the mountain god godhead who was just a symbol, his eyes were a little strange.
He originally thought that the mountain god godhead should be something similar to the core of a spirit.
But the truth is that this mountain godhead is just a symbol, an 'F' symbol.
"F, is it a grade?" Zhao Jiayan was puzzled.
"It's a sequence."
Lu Mei said: "F is the lowest level of permission, lower than F, that is, G, that is, NPC, but NPC has almost no permission, and can only perform inherent tasks." β
"Real Game...... How do you feel that the more you look at it, the more evil it becomes? Zhao Jiayan frowned and said.
"Meishan God, what's the situation now?" Chang Xinfei interjected and asked with a puzzled expression.
Why is Meishan God clearly still alive, but ......
"Could it be that the benefactor helped you strip off the godhead?" Her face was pleased.
Lu Mei didn't explain, she turned to look at Yang Yuan: "No matter what, thank you Mr. Yang Yuan." The people of Sanshenshan are all yours, and you can do whatever you want with them. β
After saying this, she suddenly said again: "Xin rubs the shackles of my sister's rank, can you let go?" β
"I can't let go, but I can give her one more boost."
Yang Yuan glanced at Chang Xinfei's experience, and then directly promoted her to the twenty-first level.
Chang Xinfei, who is twenty-one years old, has been able to answer prayers within a thousand kilometers while the speed of light descends.
In addition, her strength has increased in equal proportions, although in terms of breath, she is still in the late stage of the human level, but it gives people a feeling that she is not weaker than the ground level.
"That's it for the time being, the next time we meet, maybe it can make you stronger, this kind of improvement is phased."
Yang Yuan looked at Chang Xinyuan: "Actually, I suggest that you stay by my side for a period of time first, and I can quickly improve your strength." β
Chang Xinfei felt her soaring power, and couldn't help asking, "How long is this time?" β
"It's up to you, but as long as you live normally, in half a month at most, you can reach a fourth-order strange thing." Yang Yuan said.
