It turned out that the crumbling and shattered statue of the goddess had only appeared in my dreams.

Because in the former reality, it stood intact in the ever-collapsing world, watching life and hope being brutally strangled.

——Chu Mie

"boom--"

A huge roar sounded, and after the headache-ridden tinnitus, the ground began to shake.

An inconspicuous crack appeared on the ceiling above everyone's heads as it vibrated, but this unnoticed crack seemed to come to life, expanding its territory with claws and claws, quickly spreading the crack all over their heads.

"No, this place is going to collapse!"

Everyone hurriedly helped each other over the obstacles on the ground, and those who couldn't walk let those who still had the strength to carry them on their backs.

"Be careful--"

When Ye Zhi supported Ju Yi to walk towards the exit, a huge boulder suddenly fell from the top of his head, and it was about to hit Ye Zhi and Ju Yi.Ye Zhi didn't have time to drag Ju Yi to hide together, so he had to push Ju Yi away first.

Ju Yi fell to the ground, watching the boulder getting closer and closer to Ye Zhi with a blank mind, and it was too late to draw a talisman to save Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi looked at the boulder falling on him, knowing that he might not escape bad luck, so he subconsciously closed his eyes.

"Snapped--"

Ye Zhi vaguely heard the sound of snapping his fingers, and the boulder that was thrown at him didn't hit him after waiting for a while.He opened his eyes in a little confusion, and saw a photo that fell on the ground—the photo was the boulder that was about to hit him.

It is the power of the item, and the owner of the item—

Ye Zhi subconsciously looked at Shen Huaiyun, only to see that Shen Huaiyun's face turned pale and heaved a sigh of relief: "It seems that after the main consciousness is destroyed, the restrictions on props in the temple have also been resolved."

"Fortunately, I just tried to use the power of [photo], otherwise it would be too late to save you."

Ye Zhi regained his composure and gratefully thanked Shen Huaiyun.But because the underground palace is collapsing now, he didn't say much, but immediately helped Ju Yi up.Just as Ye Zhi was about to support Ju Yi to continue walking, he threw him away forcefully.

Ye Zhi: "... What are you doing?"

"You go your own way, I don't want to be an oil bottle." Ju Yi struggled to support the wall, and staggered forward: "Don't worry about me, keeping your own life is the most important thing."

"Pretentious." Jin Ya cast a sideways glance at Ju Yi, and said to Ye Zhi, "We two stand on one side, it's always faster than you supporting him alone."

After finishing speaking, she signaled Ye Zhi to be tougher with her eyes, and went out with him, regardless of Ju Yi's wishes.

A group of people quickly returned to the entrance when they came, and at this time the entire underground palace had collapsed in half.

Shen Huaiyun took the lead at the front, the other players walked in the middle with the injured on their backs, and Chu Mie chose to be at the bottom.

The vibration never stopped from the beginning to the end. Looking at the scale, it seems that not only the underground palace is collapsing, but more like——

The sense of uncertainty in Chu Mie's heart became more and more intense, until when Shen Huaiyun and his party came out of the underground palace and looked at the temple that was also collapsing, he knew that the last thing he wanted to see had happened.

He was all too familiar with the vibration.

Because it was after the shock four years ago that he was forced to sleep with the mirage, and when he woke up again, he had become an NPC Chu Mie.

Obviously, the main consciousness of the mirage did not really die, it just chose to temporarily close the core copy, in order to shape Shen Huaiyun and his party into the next Chu Mie.

So what went wrong?

Chu Mie couldn't figure it out. The mirage bead had already been taken out, so the main consciousness should have died the moment the mirage bead was taken out. How could it be possible to control the core copy?

"Damn it, the door of the temple can't be opened?!"

"If this continues, we will all be buried alive in the temple!"

The irritated voices of the players attracted Chu Mie's attention.

He looked at the closed gate of the temple, thinking about the reason why the gate was closed.

"Let me try."

He Fangchuan gathered all his strength and kicked hard, but the door was still motionless.But in fact, even if the door is locked, it shouldn't be like this.

The only explanation is that the main consciousness deliberately sealed off the temple, trapping everyone present in the temple.

So what's the reason for it to trap everyone in the temple?

Obviously, the collapse of the core dungeon is aimed at all places. Even if they leave the temple, they can't escape. Why does the main consciousness have to trap them here?

Or--

The goddess statue in front of the temple flashed in Chu Mie's mind, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he immediately grabbed Shen Huaiyun's arm and said, "Where's the mirage pearl? Let me see it!"

Shen Huaiyun noticed the tension and worry on Chu Mie's face, and immediately handed the mirage beads to him: "What do you remember?"

Chu Mie didn't answer him, took the mirage bead and smashed it on the ground hard. Seeing that the mirage bead was easily broken into pieces, he took a few steps back in dismay, and taunted:

"I was tricked by the mirage again."

Shen Huaiyun looked at the shattered mirage bead, and his expression was also ugly: "Isn't this a real mirage bead?"

"I'm so stupid—" Chu Mie pressed his eyebrows wearily, his bloodshot eyes looked at the closed temple gate, as if he was staring at something outside the gate.

There is only one reason for the main consciousness of the mirage to trap them in the temple - the real mirage is outside the temple, and it can even be said to be near the temple.

A player asked: "Then... where is the real mirage?"

"It's very close." Chu Mie pointed his finger in the direction of the gate of the temple. When everyone looked in the direction he pointed, he smiled wryly and said, "If I'm not wrong, the real mirage is right here. In the statue of the goddess at the entrance of the temple."

"Goddess?"

"How could it be in the goddess statue? Do you have any basis?"

Chu Mie closed his eyes forcefully, recalling his restlessness when he saw the goddess statue many times, and the mocking and cold gaze he felt when facing the dungeon that was about to be closed when he destroyed the mirage mirror for the first time.

The main consciousness is watching them all the time.

The mirage bead is one of the eyeballs of the goddess statue.

No wonder when he was an NPC, he would always dream about core dungeons.In the dream, the goddess statue in front of the temple shattered again and again.But no matter how many times it shattered, its head was always facing him, seeing him struggling in vain, and showing a mocking and pitiful smile.

At that time, he just thought it was unwillingness to destroy the main consciousness, but he didn't know that it was a reminder from him as a player.

What's ridiculous is that he didn't realize the true meaning of the dream at all, so he missed the opportunity to destroy the mirage again, and caused everyone present to go on his old path again.

"How could I just give up here?" Shen Huaiyun found all his props and began to try to destroy the gate.Players who still barely have enough energy are also struggling to find a way to leave the temple.

But no matter what method they used, the gate remained motionless as if it had been sealed.

"time is limited."

Chu Mie knew that the core copy would only be damaged for a few minutes, but the main consciousness of the Mirage was fully capable of delaying it for a few minutes.

After a few minutes, the mirage will close again, and when it reopens, they who become NPCs will harm and kill the next batch of players who come here.

And after this battle, it is still unknown whether the main consciousness can make him live to resist for the third time.

"..."

Chu Mie gritted his teeth, even though there were thousands of anger and unwillingness in his heart, he was still covered by a sense of powerlessness and decadence that kept coming up.He watched Shen Huaiyun and the players struggling to destroy the gate, and suddenly regretted bringing them here.

What if they, what if Shen Huaiyun became an NPC like him?Or this time, the main consciousness didn't intend to leave them a way out at all, but insisted on letting them die before becoming NPCs?

Chu Mie is not afraid that he will die.

He was just afraid that he would die worthlessly, and he was even more afraid that Shen Huaiyun would follow in his footsteps.

…………

Chu Mie has personally experienced the destruction of the core copy, so he knows that it is too late to stop it.

He didn't dare to tell the players the truth, at least until the last moment when the dungeon was destroyed, they were still full of faith and unwilling to give up. This kind of helpless despair—let him bear it alone.

However, Chu Mie was still not reconciled.

They have already paid so much, so why can't they destroy the main consciousness?How many lives are there to take? !

Obviously hope and way of life are in front of them, but they don't even have the ability to pass.

The collapse of the temple became more and more serious, Chu Mie turned his head and looked at the collapsed temple behind him, sighed exhaustedly, and quietly watched Shen Huaiyun's side face covered with sweat and blood, trying to carve his appearance into his bones , waiting for the arrival of the last moment.

At this moment, the earthquake suddenly stopped.

"Squeak-"

The originally closed door seemed to have lost the control of its strength, and slowly opened under the surprised and delighted eyes of everyone.

Everyone tentatively walked out of the temple, and all they saw were ruins, and the temple was actually the best-preserved building.

"Goddess—"

Chu Mie didn't care if the building here was intact or not, but ran straight to the place where the goddess statue was originally placed.

"Baa, wait!"

Shen Huaiyun saw Chu Mie rushing into the ruins as if mad, fearing that some other building would collapse and hit Chu Mie, so he hurriedly chased him.

Originally, the goddess statue was not too far from the temple, and it took only 10 minutes to walk there.But as buildings collapsed after the quake, they had to bypass or climb onto the rubble.

It took almost twice as long, and Chu Mie finally found the location of the goddess statue.

The always standing goddess statue has long since fallen to the ground and turned into a pile of meaningless rubble. That was a scene that Chu Mie had only seen in his dreams.

Beside the statue of the goddess stood a young man in a cloak.At the young man's feet is the broken head of the goddess, as if he destroyed the goddess.

The young man had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw the players coming, he kicked the head of the goddess statue at his feet casually.

The head rolled and stopped at Chu Mie's feet.

Chu Mie stopped, staring blankly at the familiar face under the young man's cloak, and said in surprise, "It's you?!"

The young man pulled his cloak and said calmly: "I see that everything in this dungeon is collapsing, only this goddess statue is intact, so I broke it by the way."

Chu Mie: "..."

The young man acted independently of other players. When they were trapped in the temple and other players scattered and destroyed buildings, he had been waiting quietly outside the temple, waiting for the moment when he needed to take action.

This person has never been in contact with other players, and his whereabouts are always erratic, so the main consciousness has never cared about his actions, because this person is no threat.

However, it was this person who accidentally destroyed the final plan of the main consciousness.

I'm afraid the main consciousness itself didn't think of it.

Chu Mie was speechless, and even felt a little funny for a moment, but there is no doubt that he is very lucky now.

If this person hadn't destroyed the goddess statue, everyone would have died in the dungeon.

"When did you come to this copy?"

Youth: "Earlier than you."

Shen Huaiyun also caught up and recognized the young man at a glance.This person has never appeared this year, so Shen Huaiyun thought he was dead.

"I didn't intend to meddle in your affairs." The young man's attitude was very cold, as if he didn't know that his actions just now saved everyone's life: "But since this matter involves everyone's interests, including mine, Then I'll help you out."

"Hope you guys—"

"Captain Shen, Chu Mie, did you find anything?"

The shouts in the distance interrupted the young man's words, and it seemed that he didn't intend to say anything more because of this. Instead, he pulled the cloak tighter, turned around and planned to leave directly, as if he was in a hurry to avoid someone.

Shen Huaiyun was a little surprised that he had this reaction: "You just left?"

His footsteps paused, and he said calmly: "She doesn't want to see me, and I don't intend to disturb her anymore."

"If you can, don't mention me to her, just pretend that I never showed up."

After all, the figure of the young man quickly disappeared into the ruins.

Watching the young man go away, Chu Mie picked up the head of the goddess statue at his feet, and found that one of the eyeballs of the goddess statue could move flexibly.

Shen Huaiyun suddenly had goosebumps all over his body. After seeing Chu Mie take out the real mirage beads from the eye sockets of the goddess, he quickly took the head of the goddess in his hand, and smashed it on the ground like a hot potato. After throwing it, I stepped on it a few times:

"Baa baa, come and step on it a few times, if you don't step on it now, you won't have a chance!"

Chu Mie: "..." Do you think there is a limited time event?

However, he still accepted Shen Huaiyun's proposal very gladly, looked down at the goddess's compassionate smile, narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised his feet to crush the smile completely with great strength.

The companions had already rushed over one after another, just in time to see Chu Mie's movements, and asked unexpectedly, "Did we win?"

"Yeah." Chu Mie showed an unprecedented relaxed smile on his face, his eyes were bent into two beautiful little moons, and he raised his voice:

"The main consciousness is so dead that there are no ashes left!"

"really?"

"Great! We can finally get out of this damn place!"

"Oh my god, I really survived, it's not easy woo woo woo..."

Everyone was relieved, and Jin Ya also had a smile on her face, but when she looked at the traces of the broken statues, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, which soon turned into understanding and joy after the inspection.

He really didn't die.

Jin Ya didn't intend to ask further, because knowing the news that he was still alive was enough.

…………

Shen Huaiyun stared deeply at Chu Mie's bright smile, lamented that he rarely smiled so freely, and was happy for him from the bottom of his heart, showing a gratifying and gentle smile.

Congratulations on your freedom, baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The author says:

Can any cutie guess it?

Back then Baa Baa was planted on this pit, so the main consciousness has a lot of eyes |ω`)

You can watch it or not.

"NPC" was actually conceived by me in my third year of high school. Those who think this article is too sharp, go and criticize this difficult high school life ~ (bushi)

In fact, many assumptions in this article have been changed and deleted in the middle. For example, Liu Yang died in vain, but I think it is too thin, so I added the role of the next chapter.Guan Qinyue was mortal in the original setting, but the setting was changed to make her stronger.

This book is more or less like a group portrait article. There may be some cuties who don't like the supporting roles, so I have been trying to control the supporting roles so that they do not take too much of the protagonist's role.But because I love these characters in my writing so much, I am really reluctant to delete their roles.

Finally, thanks to the little cuties who have been with me until now, okay~
