【Verification of the final result is in progress, please wait】

079, who was hidden in Qi Yan's body, smiled silently, and sure enough, after leaving his employee identification, not only the NPCs who worked in the dungeon, but even the system itself was difficult to identify the two of them.

079: "Qi Jiu, you can perfectly pretend to be me in front of the system and my colleagues, so if you switch around, do you think I can fool your relatives and friends?" ”

Qi Yan thought about it seriously and shook his head: "That's not easy to say, after all, my relatives and friends are all living people, and the way of thinking and systems of human beings is not the same, many times they will not follow the established logical formula, but judge by feeling, but I feel that this kind of thing is difficult to quantify and even more difficult to predict." ”

079 flattened his mouth: "Really? I'm looking forward to that day. ”

Qi Ji sighed: "Come on, almost no bride is looking forward to meeting each other's parents." ”

079 laughs: "It seems that I am the bride who does not play cards according to common sense in the eyes of you humans." ”

Suddenly there was a "ding" sound-

[The identity detection has been passed, and employee 079 has obtained the permission to access the coordinate point]

In the next second, a huge ruined city appeared in Qi Yan's field of vision.

The earliest "Midnight Bride" was completely cleared by Qi Ji eighteen years ago, so the main system rebuilt a new plot on the original coordinate points and formed a new dungeon story.

It's a pity that as the system said, not long after the new copy ran for a long time, it collapsed due to force majeure factors, and the new story had to be buried in the ruins forever.

The yellow haze covered the sky, and only vague silhouettes remained of the huge buildings that lined them, standing still, like countless giant beasts crawling in the flowing yellow sand, observing their prey's every move in the dark.

The oncoming air was dry to pungent, and the grand desolation in front of him made Qi Jiu, who was in it, dumbfounded.

Above the desolate ruins, there are countless colorful beams of light flowing like liquid, these flowing light flow over the abandoned city is unpredictable, as if the alienated aurora is spreading above the haze, and the oversaturated colors even make those who look up dizzy, like the illusion seen after eating a pot of poisonous mushrooms.

"This is..."

The scenery in front of him was too grand and too distorted, and standing under the eerie streamer with bright colors, Rao Shi Qi had to gasp.

079 was silent for a moment: "These flowing beams are the embodiment of the pollutant in this copy. ”

Qi Zhen: "In other words, the pollutants released by the main system are no longer obediently staying in the blood pool like during the 'Midnight Bride', and now they have become highly active, and have infiltrated and spread into the space in the area of the dungeon's collapse. ”

079: "This is what caused the copy of the coordinates to collapse, and in this way, it slowed down the rate of dispersion of the contaminants, which was considered a means of self-preservation for the main system. ”

But these ubiquitous pollutants seem to be quite "polite", at least they don't attack the uninvited guest, and everything is in order in the chaos, as if someone is trying to control it all.

Just when Qi Yan and 079 sensed that something was wrong, a flat voice enveloped [Welcome, I've been waiting for a long time]

The timbre of this voice is somewhat similar to that of the system, but if you listen closely, you will find that the way the other person speaks does not resemble the mechanical sense of the system without fluctuations, but retains the unique speed and habits of human beings.

The system also seems to be afraid of being misunderstood, and hurriedly clears up the relationship [it was not the system that spoke just now]

The gently flowing beams of pollutants suddenly condensed into clouds, which soon fell like rain, brightening the haze-shrouded ruins.

The liquefied contaminants did not fall on Qi Jiu, they were like having eyes, and they would deliberately avoid the area where Qi Jiu was standing.

Something even stranger happened, the colored stagnant water on the ruins began to grow upward, like colored poisonous mushrooms growing wildly on the earth after the rain.

But instead of mushrooms, the water grows flattened, humanoids with no facial features, only vague outlines of limbs and unpredictable skin.

[Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is An Shenzhou, I used to be a traveler, I was killed here by my companions many years ago, although I was declared dead by the system, but my soul was alienated by polluted radiation, so even if I have no body, I am still trapped in this ruined city]

An Shenzhou's voice came from all directions, and he seemed to have melted into every remaining air in the copy, with the pollutants.

Qi Zhen noticed that the humanoid pollutant directly in front of him raised his head.

The remaining humanoid contaminants around them hung neatly on their limbs and heads, standing on the ruins like unmanned dolls.

Qi Jiu, who was standing in the middle of them, inevitably tensed his shoulders, but he still had a quiet and polite expression on his face: "Excuse me, are you Li Beizheng's friend?" ”

He asked the figure facing him, and when the other party introduced himself, Qi Yan had already guessed.

This An Shenzhou, whose soul is trapped here, must be the big guy friend A in Li Beizheng's mouth.

However, the sentence "I was killed here by my companions many years ago" confirmed Qi Yan's previous speculation, and sure enough, in the operation to dismantle the bug jammer that year, only one survivor survived the end caused by a man-made disaster.

[I really didn't wait for the wrong person, you are the guest from the distant past and the future]

The pollutant-transformed human form has no facial features, and the ever-changing colors flicker and dance on its face and limbs, reminiscent of a television screen that has lost its signal, bright and quiet, but gives people a sense of visual noise.

At this moment, the system that had been following Qi Ji made a sizzling sound, and then the line was completely disconnected.

[Then you must know that we once set up a device to interfere with the bug here] An Shenzhou, whose soul was alienated by pollutants, did not continue to step forward, he politely kept a certain distance from Qi Jiu, he knew that humans were afraid of him like this.

Qi Zhen nodded: "But according to Boss Li, you and your partner finally removed this device, and the plan itself was very successful, but you only have one survivor, right?" ”

[We only have one survivor, but the plan was not successful, the bug interference device was not completely removed, on the contrary, because its existence interfered with the release of system pollutants, the self-healing ecology of the system was destroyed, and the balance of the entire "rule book" was broken]

[This has already happened in the "Rules Book", has it?] Otherwise you wouldn't be here]

Although the human form shaped by pollutants has no facial features, Qi Zhen still feels a sense of obsessive gaze for the other party.

[The reason why there was only one survivor back then was not because of a mistake in our estimation of the dungeon, but because of a mistake in our estimation of human nature]

At the moment when An Shenzhou's words fell, those drooping humanoid pollutants suddenly moved like puppets that had been lifted up.

One of the humanoids had a short knife in its hand, and it silently approached its companion, then silently sliced through his companion's neck with the short knife.

The throat-cut humanoid began to melt, and the liquefied colors merged into a river of colors on the ruins, and they regrouped in bundles, soaking the veins of the earth, winding up the ankles of the knife-wielder, who swelled more and more like a giant, and finally split from the waist into the upper body of the two humanoids.

The two figures had no facial features, but judging from their entangled postures, Qi Zhen could recognize that the two were kissing.

It is a pair of lovers expressed in abstract imagery, but the dagger has not disappeared, it is hidden in the hands of one of the human figures, and it is a cold light in the flowing colors.

In the midst of a long, deep kiss, the humanoid with a short knife stabbed the tip of the knife into the person it was kissing.

So, the person who assassinated his partner absorbed the other person with his own body.

At this point, all the pollutants melted and evaporated again, and returned to the haze to become a flowing sea of light.

An Shenzhou was using a puppet show to explain to Qi what happened at that time: during the mission, a traitor appeared in the team, and that traitor was still An Shenzhou's most trusted lover.

It's just that in this distorted and mutated space, this mime-like puppet show is also extraordinarily bizarre.

Qi Yan looked up at the flowing sea of light, and asked straight to the point: "The person who betrayed you, is it for nothing?" ”

Eighteen years ago, he had met the young Li Beizheng in the bionic factory, and the player who appeared with Li Beizheng at that time was this Shirami deer.

Do you know him? 】

An Shenzhou's voice changed tone because of eagerness.

Qi Jiu: "I don't know, but I've seen him in the past." ”

[He was one of my earliest companions, and he was the one who gave me the idea of staying in the city forever...]

[In the earliest days, we had a crazy idea when we developed the bug device for the jamming system: to make the bug a channel to communicate the real world and the "rule book", so that we could make the mechanism of the system's random selection of people controllable, and use human interference to manipulate the rules]

[Because we fantasize about being the god who can manipulate the life and death of mankind]

"But you regret it, don't you?"

[After all, manipulating life and death is too arrogant]

[The consequences are likely to ruin everything]

"So what happened to the bug jamming device that was supposed to be destroyed?" Qi Yan hurriedly asked.

[Shiramilu is never afraid of any consequences... After killing all of our teammates who didn't think the same thing, he tried to forcibly integrate a part of the device into his body according to our earliest imagination, and managed to trick the system into taking it away from the collapsing copy.]

[He is not afraid of death, he is selfish and cruel enough, so he succeeded, the two parts of the core of the device, one is in the deepest part of the pollutant release channel, no one and NPC can reach there, and the other is on Shirami Lu, as his connection to this world]

[Shirumi Deer has become the channel itself, that is, the God we envisioned who can control the life and death of human beings]

Qi Jiu: "Tell me how we can cut off this illegal channel." ”

[There is no way to separate the device that is integrated into the body, but it is easy to destroy it-]

[Let Shirumi himself, who is hidden in the real world, return to the "Rules Illustrated Book"]

[As long as this day comes, as long as he returns again, I have a way to destroy the device and trap his soul here forever]

[Let that selfish madman, like me, eat the consequences of his own evil forever]

Chapter 257: Replicants (19)

Pollutants condense into rain and fall again, and the dense rain brightens the smog-shrouded ruined city.

Qi clarified the meaning of the other party's words, after all, there was never only one way to reach the "Rules Illustrated Book" from the real world.

[I will give you a gift, which can be regarded as a gift to welcome you to arrive here smoothly]

[I know you must have come a long way from the past to the future when you came here, right? 】

Qi Yan smiled and acquiesced: "It is worthy of being the strongest player mentioned by Boss Li, and it is also worthy of being a traveler who can create a bug jammer." ”

Obviously, An Shenzhou, who was trapped here, knew that he was not an ordinary player or NPC, and also recognized his identity as a time traveler.

[Please use this gift to bring Shirami Deer to this world, this is something that only you can do]

A bullet wrapped in rain fell and was delivered to Qi Jiu.

Qi Yan took this gift from An Shenzhou, and a prompt sound came from the system interface that had been silent-

[Congratulations on obtaining the item: Bullets impregnated with contaminants]

[Instructions for the use of the prop "Bullet Impregnated with Contaminants": The effect has not yet been clarified; Usage Restrictions: Can only be equipped in certain items]

Receiving this bullet prop is equivalent to Qi Yan accepting An Shenzhou's invitation to cooperate.

Qi Ji is responsible for bringing back to this world the root cause of the bug's inability to repair itself, while An Shenzhou is responsible for completely sealing it and achieving the complete removal of the bug.

Qi Yan asked An Shenzhou: "What does a specific prop refer to?" ”

[Not any pistol can be equipped with this bullet, there was a special pistol lost in the coordinates of this copy, legend has it that the bride needs to use it to kill her groom, the specific reason is unknown, but I am sure that this bloody wedding happened here, and the bride's pistol is the only prop that can be equipped with this bullet, so you need to find a way to find it]

Hearing this, Qi Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Where did you know the story of the bloody wedding?" ”

After all, before An Shenzhou and the others came in, Qi Yan had completely cleared this story, and what greeted An Shenzhou in this land was a brand new story.

[If you stay in one place long enough, you can hear all kinds of stories]

So Qi Yan took out the pistol he "borrowed" from the midnight bride: "Do you mean this?" ”

Now that there are only six rounds left in the pistol's magazine, 079 had killed himself with a single bullet in the birch forest on the outskirts of the city eighteen years ago, returning to the Rules Book.

The other party was obviously stunned [I think... Yes]
