The Trial Game of Life

When the Box of Time began to rotate, a damaged palace happened to collapse due to the vibrations from the magic storm in the depths of the underground palace.The towering ruins formed by the palace built a natural barrier for Chi Yan and Xiao Douding, forming an excellent hiding place.

Everyone stopped and set up layer after layer of defensive circles here, but they were still full of worries about the vibration.

But Chi Yan knows that he can't do anything now, and ensuring the safety here is the greatest support for his teammates.

On the ground, under Tang Cuo's repeated persuasion, His Majesty the King finally agreed to evacuate with his guards.

"Letting you go is not to make you deserters, nor is it to be a hero, but you will cause trouble if you stay here. No one can know the situation of the Well of Time. We need to let go of our hands and feet, and have no scruples to make it possible. Suppress it with all your might. Senseless sacrifices are foolish, there is me, there is Lancelot, enough is enough. What we need is to keep people alive as much as possible, not just kill the enemy. Get out of here, the battlefield More than one place."

Lady Catherine was in charge of escorting His Majesty the King. The red priestess of the Rose Sect had not yet arrived. Apart from Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo, she was the most powerful one here.

They rushed out from the weakest corner of the enemy, piercing through the crowd like an arrow leaving the string.Catherine escorted all the way, and when she was about to send the king out of the siege, she couldn't help but look back.

At this time, outside the main hall, people from the Ivy League stood guard on the steps, and those from the Rose Sect attacked from the bottom of the steps. The alliance generally held the last line of defense and did not let anyone break into the palace again.

People keep dying, and people keep coming.In fact, the main hall has already been riddled with holes, the top is missing a corner, and the few remaining pillars are also in danger. From the outside, the situation inside can be easily seen.

Only Theodore and Augustine were left in the empty hall, and Catherine was still a little worried about Theodore's identity, fearing that he would be detrimental to Augustine.

Especially when two magicians of the Rose Sect broke through the defense line and entered the hall, but Theodore did not stop them but retreated outside the hall, Catherine felt a little bit in her heart.

Just as she was about to rush back, the Well of Time shone brightly.The magic storm rushed out of the mouth of the well, and the energy burst out instantly killed the two magicians directly.

Augustine vacated the moment the magic storm rushed out, avoided the most violent blow, and then immediately suppressed it.But such a violent impact, even if he suppressed it with all his strength, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, because compared to the openness of the underground, the well of time on the ground has only a narrow well mouth as the exit, and the violent energy is compressed together, which is even more destructive. .

Theodore made a move at this moment, and the Holy Light Shield was shot out one after another, saving those of his own people who were almost hit by the impact.The two sides cooperated tacitly, so that this wave did not affect anyone except the two magicians.

Catherine took a deep breath, and finally suppressed all doubts about Theodore in her heart.

Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows.

The shock of the magic storm came suddenly, Rong Yi must have done something below to block the other outlets, so that the magic storm had nowhere to go and could only rush upwards.Like an active volcano.

How to do this?

Blindly suppressing it is probably not enough, this is not training a dog, you can calm down the violent energy by calming it down.The best way is four words, "blocking is worse than sparse".But there are people all around, and their own people are fighting with the enemy. Magic Storm will not recognize people, and they can only die together if they want to die.

Thinking of this, the eyes of Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo met across the sea of ​​people, and Tang Cuo glanced up.

above?

Jin Cheng understood what he meant, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.He immediately took out the mechanical bow and threw it at Tang Cuo, Tang Cuo jumped up to catch it, activated [Air Walk] to avoid the enemy's attack, and in midair——

Aimed at the thundercloud in the sky, he shot an arrow with all his strength.

Why was it Tang Cuo who shot the arrow, because Jin Cheng really couldn't pull out his shot to suppress the magic storm.

What is the purpose of shooting this arrow? It is to lead thunder.

On the one hand, Tang Cuo's use of a mechanical bow is not in line with human design. On the other hand, Lei Yun is already very low, and his arrow can successfully draw Lei from above.

The thunder fell from the sky, and Jin Cheng led the magic storm from the underground palace to meet him, using his strength to fight.

"Boom—" The moonlight-colored mushroom cloud exploded, broke through the thunderclouds, and even caused a thunderstorm. The sound of "bang, bang, bang" was endless.The huge shock wave also blows away all the people still fighting in the melee below, but when the shock wave reaches the ground, its lethality is already small, and it is not fatal enough.

This extremely visually shocking scene made everyone lose their voices.The eyes of the whole city turned to the location of the Well of Time, and their surprise was beyond words.

Standing on the city wall, Leng Miao knew without guessing that Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo must have made the noise.Especially Jin Cheng, he likes such big scenes.

The great magician who was too lazy to complain only took one look, then turned his head away again.

The time has come.

The fighting outside the city did not stop for a moment, and corpses were strewn all over the field.Whether it is the arbitrator of the Ivy League or the red priest of the Rose Sect, no matter how powerful they are, they cannot escape the fate of death.

However, Yao Qing's betrayal and Yan Yun's sudden killing put the Rose Sect at a disadvantage.Two of the red priests died at once, which allowed Overseer Roger Reed to seize the opportunity and quickly counterattack.

But a lunatic is a lunatic after all, especially a lunatic who is driven into a desperate situation, and will often explode with astonishing lethality.

Rose bombs bloomed everywhere, and the crazy Rose Sect magicians were so red-eyed that they had begun to rush into the city wall regardless of whether they were enemies or friends, and killed as many as they could.

The people of the Ivy League were thrown into disarray under such a desperate attack, and if they were not careful, they would be affected by the ubiquitous rose bombs, and self-protection would become a problem, let alone saving lives.

The arbitrators were so anxious that they quickly suppressed it, but it was too chaotic, the battlefield was too chaotic.

"For the Immortal King!" The lunatics shouted slogans, stepping on the corpses and rushing towards the broken city wall.The city wall has long been a decoration, a place collapsed here, a big hole was broken there, yellow sand followed the enemy's footsteps, and it was a mess.

There are only a few silver-armored guards who are guarded here, and there is nothing to guard.

At this moment, Leng Miao jumped down from the city wall, and his small body stood on the mound of wind and sand, facing the fierce enemy, holding up the silver moon badge.

"His Royal Highness Prince!"

"Your Highness!"

Amidst the exclamation, dazzling golden light bloomed on the silver moon badge.A huge light shield suddenly popped out from the emblem, lying between the damaged city wall and the enemy.

Only the sound of "bang bang bang" came, and the enemies hit the light shield one after another, like waves hitting the shore, but they couldn't get over it.

The silver armor guards recognized this skill, which is the "divine protection" that only the royal family can have.They still remember the promises each crown prince made to every citizen of the Moon Hidden Kingdom standing in front of the Great Hall of the Well of Time when he succeeded to the throne.

The sacred guardian, guarding their common home, is all the people living in this home.

This is not some barren land abandoned by the gods, this is their home.

But how old is His Royal Highness?

All the silver armored guards had red eyes, but they knew that now was not the time to cry.Holy Guardian is a talent skill, it draws the life of His Highness the Prince himself, I don't know how long it can last.

The only thing they can do is to wave the sword in their hands again to prevent anyone from hurting him.They may not be as powerful and experienced as the people of the Ivy League, and they may fall down in the next moment, but it doesn't matter, His Royal Highness has stood up to protect them, even if they are buried in the yellow sand now, their blood will be destroyed It will be hot.

The wind in the desert is whimpering.

Thunderclouds billowed in the city, but the clear sky could be seen far away outside the city.The light shield is like the dividing point between the thundercloud and the clear sky. When people look at it, the small body, the huge light shield, and the warrior who regard death as home are deeply imprinted on their hearts.

The tragedy in this corner soon began to spread. From outside the city to inside the city, no one was lucky anymore, and some were just fighting to the death.

As time passed, the light shield finally broke, and the young prince gave his life and fell into the yellow sand.A silver-armored guard who survived cried and dug up his body to prevent the wind and sand from drowning him.

Leng Miao cleared the customs and left, Yao Qing took advantage of the chaos to kill a priest in red, and then completed his own customs clearance task, and died in the hands of the supervisor Roger Reed.

At the Well of Time, the confrontation between the sky thunder and the magic storm gradually came to an end, but the magic storm gradually subsided, but the sky thunder intensified because Jin Cheng was not dead.

He should have died in this magical storm, but he was still alive.Say he failed the mission, but he clearly followed the mission requirements and suppressed the magic storm with all his strength. The storm failed to kill him, so can he be blamed?

It can be said that his mission was successful. It must be wrong for him to do so.

More lightning struck down, and Eternal Night City chose to kill him before sending him out of the dungeon.

The warning sound of "ding, ding, ding" almost gave Jin Cheng a concussion, and he knew he couldn't delay for too long.If you play too much, it is easy to kill yourself, and if you strike too much, it will cause a lot of trouble for the hidden moon country. At this time, you can only catch one and kill one.

Kill one to keep your capital, and kill two to make money.

At this time, a red-clothed priest happened to break through the barrier and kill near the Well of Time. When Jin Cheng saw him, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and sincerely said to him: "You are welcome."

In the underground palace, a storm subsided.

Rongyi took back the [Box of Time], returned the cloak to Zheng Yingying, and breathed a sigh of relief.He glanced at the large and small wounds on his body, with a slightly bitter smile, and while taking out the healing potion, he also caught a glimpse of his newly created customs clearance task.

The knight Celtic died in the bloody battle in the underground palace, either in a vigorous way or in battle.

He wanted to ask Zheng Yingying what her mission was, but when he turned his head, he found that Zheng Yingying had already put on her cloak and walked away.Rong Yi called her name, but she didn't look back.

"I'll tell Chi Yan!" Rong Yi still waved at her.

The voice spread far away, Zheng Yingying still didn't look back, but her pace was a little faster, as if she was escaping.Rong Yi rested for a while, then stood up again, planning to face his last bloody battle.

As the players cleared the level one by one and left, time seemed to have wings and passed quickly.War is like a gear, constantly crushing human life, rendering grief, making people breathless, but in some inconspicuous corners, the music is still flowing.

Little Jack has a brave heart, and he wants to go outside and kill the enemy, but the big brother with the rosette on his neck is also right.The people here also need his protection, and he wants to stay and be their reliance like a man.

"Cough." He cleared his throat and said, "Let me play "The Song of the Wind" for everyone. This is the first piece Lancelot composed after he became a bard."

At the same time, in Eternal Night City.

After Leng Miao came back, he went straight to Tang Cuo's residence in Area B. Lilith was still staying here. She was a little surprised when she saw Leng Miao, and subconsciously looked behind him, but she didn't see the expected figure.

After Leng Miao's brief explanation, Lilith understood the customs clearance rules of the dungeon, and was about to ask about the current situation of Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng when someone knocked on the door.

She went out and saw that it was Zhang San.

"Is Xiao Yu'er there?" Zhang San frowned, with a wry smile on his lips, his expression extraordinarily interesting.

"You haven't come back, he went looking for you, didn't you meet?" Lilith asked.

Zhang San shook his head, walked into the room and saw Leng Miao, his eyes shone brightly, "You guys came back with a copy? Where's Jin Cheng? Where's Tang Cuo? Where are they all?"

Leng Miao occupied the entire sofa by himself, and refused to explain again.

It was rare for Lilith to kindly explain Zhang San's doubts. After hearing this, Zhang San was greatly disappointed, "You don't know what I have experienced in the past few hours, my god, I wonder if my name is wrong. No, I shouldn't be called Li Si—oh no, I shouldn't be called Zhang San, I should be called Long Nicholas Aotian!"

Hearing this, Lilith and Leng Miao looked at each other suspiciously, and heard Zhang San tell his long story.

"... the first half was like this, but do you know what kind of reward he offered me in the end? He asked me to use my key to open a box. It's like a music box, with a small drawer underneath, locked Yes, I turned the key, turned it on, and you know what I saw in there?"

Zhang San was gasping for breath, and stopped in a mysterious manner, then looked left and right as if to see if there was anyone eavesdropping nearby, finally lowered his voice, and carefully took out a roll of red rope from his pocket like a thief. tied parchment.

"Inside is the original manuscript of the Song of Gods, Lambs, and Ravens."

When Zhang San talked about this now, he still felt extremely unbelievable.

All players in Eternal Night City know the importance of this song, and the twelve movements are directly born out of it. Its original manuscript is kept in the hands of Mr. Crow, which is normal.What is abnormal is that this manuscript was finally "stolen" by Zhang San.

At that time Zhang San opened the box and saw the parchment, but he didn't dare to touch it.He thought that K just asked him to open the box, but K said to him again: "Take it out."

Mr. Crow speaks, how can the player refuse to obey.Zhang San did not suspect him, and carefully took out the parchment and handed it to K.

But K didn't answer, but looked at him with a smile and said, "Do you know what this is?"

Zhang San shook his head honestly, "I don't know."

K: "The original manuscript of "Song of Gods, Lambs, and Crows". This song was written by me at the beginning of the establishment of Eternal Night City. I don't remember how many years ago, but it has been kept in this box since it was not touched. .In fact, it is useless now, neither has the authority of the twelve movements, nor does it have any additional attributes.

Even if he said that, Zhang San still felt that the thing in his hand weighed a thousand catties, "That, that has nothing to do with me."

K's smile deepened, "Who said it has nothing to do with you, you stole it."

Zhang San's eyes widened, "Huh???"

K: "That's right, it's you."

Zhang San was belatedly aware that since the box appeared, K had never touched it.It was Zhang San who opened the box with the key, and it was Zhang San who took out the parchment.

But he was wronged!

You are fucking fishing law enforcement!

"Don't worry, listen to me." K didn't dare to push people into a hurry, he calmed down a little, and said, "I'm not forcing you, you can choose to throw it away now, or you can choose to take him away , the choice is yours, but you can listen to what I have to say before making a choice."

What K said next was another piece of secret that was not a secret to Zhang San.

"Mouse and Yanyun made up their minds to kill me, and I also thought about the ending for myself, but once I, Mr. Crow, die, all districts will change. These districts are not your so-called A districts and B districts, but all districts in the world. .”

"You players always joke that Mr. Crow has three thousand clones. This is actually true. When Eternal Night City was first established, it was divided into different regions for the convenience of management. The China region has always been the largest and the real center. District. My main body stays in the central area, and countless avatars are separated to manage each district. Most of the time, the districts are not connected to each other. But once my main body dies, the avatars will also disappear immediately."

Zhang San is not very surprised by the division of the world's regions, after all, it is reasonable.

K continued: "Of course, this has nothing to do with you. But let me tell you, the twelve movements may appear in every division, but this manuscript is unique. Once Mr. Crow dies, Eternal Night City will How, what will happen to the world, are unknown. As you infer, if Eternal Night City is a blank piece of paper, then the person who draws on it is not me, but you. What will happen in the future? It is in the hands of you human beings. God will not save you, only you can save you.”

Suddenly hearing such earnest words from Mr. Crow's mouth, Zhang San was a little dazed, and his heart was a little heavy.He seemed to be beginning to understand what K meant. He asked Zhang San to "steal" the manuscript, perhaps to give water to humans.

Seeing his expression, K knew that he understood, leaned back in the chair relaxedly, poured himself a glass of wine leisurely, and said: "Maybe it will come in handy, maybe it won't, you don't have any ideas , go ask my good friend Tang Cuo."

"But why me?" After a long time, Zhang San asked the last question.

Even if he might just be a transmitter, the original manuscript will probably be handed over to Tang Cuo and the others to figure out a way.But why him?Why is it that he sat here and listened to Mr. Crow talk about so many things, and then got the original manuscript. In terms of distance, relatives, and importance, Wen Xiaoming is more suitable than him.

Is it because he has the master key?

"Why not you?" K was also very curious. "There are so many people in the world. If it is not you, it will be him. After all, there must be one. Why do you think that others must be more suitable than you? You got the key, so you Open the lock, it's that simple. The history of mankind is created by mankind, aren't you a member of mankind?"

Zhang San was dumbfounded by the words again, a little understanding and a little dazed.

After listening to his narration, Lilith asked, "So you came back with the manuscript?"

Zhang San: "Otherwise, what else can I do? I've taken everything. If I don't take it back, I will be a thief in vain. Damn, I'm a high-achieving student who graduated from the police academy. How could you treat me like this."

The author has something to say:

Lilith: I'm so disrespectful, I didn't see it.
