break free from darkness

『The third ring of the mission "Extinction" is now open. Please gather all the players who have received the mission, and the system will be transmitted. 』

The system prompt, which I hadn't heard for a long time, sounded, and I couldn't return to the sea, holding back the joy rising in my heart, and immediately called together the people who had lost the sky.

After a burst of white light, everyone came to a deep mountain.

There is no vibrant greenery, no crystal-clear water, no vibrant animal sounds.Everything in front of me is dead and depressing, gray, black, and red form a lifeless hill, and the air is filled with dilapidated and deathly atmosphere, which makes people breathless.

Opposite everyone is a cave that cannot see through the depth, the black seems to be able to swallow everything.

"Let's go." Canghai Wugui gave the order. If he didn't speak, it is estimated that everyone would not take their steps.Knowing that this is just a game, it's a pity that everything is too real, just like Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly, I don't know if it is a flower in the mirror or the moon in the water.

Everything that followed made everyone feel a little more at ease. Isn't it just fighting monsters all the way, the same as playing a dungeon.

Finally, they came to the end, which was an ordinary cave. What was unusual was a black coffin placed in the center and a silver chain wrapped around it.

『The third ring of the mission "Extinction" has begun. 』

As soon as the mechanical system notification sounded, Zhu Xin's figure appeared in front of everyone. He was still dressed in red and had white hair. The only difference was probably the flame drawn with cinnabar on his forehead.

"You are here..." The tone was light, as if floating in the air, "Why are you so persistent?" There was confusion in the red eyes, and more sadness.

"I'll take you home." Canghaiwugui said softly, and the tenderness revealed made the man in the twilight world shake his head.

"Go home?" An emotion called longing flashed by, like a shooting star in the sky, "This is the residence of the emperor, or... the cemetery." Changing the subject like evasive, let the sea go nowhere and feel very lost .

"Why do you say that?" No return in the sea also started to complete the task in a procedural way, not because of giving up, but because he wanted to finish it quickly and take Zhu Xin home as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty is the king of the undead world, and I am his direct subordinate. It can be said that the person you trust and rely on the most is me, and only me." He lowered his eyes and covered up the obscurity, "But, I Not from the undead world, I am a survivor from the cultivation world, and the undead world is the object of my revenge."

"The approach at the beginning, and the loyalty offered later, are all lies." Zhu Xin turned around and walked to the side of the coffin, put her hand on it, and stroked it, as if what she was holding was a peerless treasure, "So , There is no betrayal between me and him, because from the very beginning, we are not the same way."

"...Then what do we need to do?" Canghai Wugui felt that he was not a calm person, otherwise why would he be so irritable and want to split the coffin?

"Your Majesty is just sleeping now, and as I said before, this place will be his cemetery." He said life-threatening words, but there was no murderous intent on his body.

"Okay." I will help you whatever you want to do, not to mention, this is what I was thinking too.

Zhu Xin backed away, revealing the coffin in front of everyone, everyone looked at each other, and began to prepare their strongest killer move, intending to destroy it with one blow.

The colorful skills were emitted at the same time, and finally landed on the coffin. When the effect of the skills disappeared, the previous coffin had already been torn apart, but there was no one inside.

"Are you looking for the deity?" The magnetic male voice came from behind him, with a strong sense of irony.

Everyone turned around, and a tall and handsome man dressed in black appeared behind them at some point, and held Zhu Xin hostage. His left hand was clawed around Zhu Xin's neck, and his right hand was wrapped around Zhu Xin's waist. Hold Zhu Xin tightly in her arms.

What happened next was beyond their expectations.

The man didn't take any action to hurt them, he just said, "Now that we've left, we can end. I'll accompany you." He and Zhu Xin were wrapped in red light. After the red light dissipated, Nothing was left, no man, no Zhu Xin.

『The mission "Millennium Elapsed" has been completed.Mission rewards: experience: 80000000, gold 5000, [Level 80 gold equipment suit] ← the first player to accept the mission will get it, [Cultivation Technique One (up to distraction stage)] ← NPC Mo Qingyan the player with the highest favorability Obtained from no return in the sea, [Random Pack of Level 75 Orange Equipment × 2], [A Cultivator’s Cultivation Method (up to the heart-beating stage)]』

With such a rich reward, it is obvious that even the system did not expect such an ending in the end.

"Boss..."

"...Go back."

------------

As the days passed, the difference was that Mu Zijue spent less and less time in reality, and he was persistently looking for the red figure engraved in his heart.

"Boss, aren't you going back today?" Xi Mo asked Mu Zijue, but he was used to it.

"En." Mu Zijue became more and more taciturn.

"Then I'll go back first."

In a blink of an eye, he was the only one left, but he still couldn't let it go.

He still believes that Qingyan is in a certain corner of the world, waiting for him to take him home.

------------

[Zhu Xin, what's wrong? ]

……nothing.

Just now, the left side of the chest, which had been empty for a long time, seemed to be beating a bit...
