[Comprehensive English and American] This is not a serious day-to-day

Every lord who goes to the world has found his hobbies in the world, and greed is no exception.

His hobby is games.

In the definition of human beings, there are all kinds of things that can be classified as "games", ranging from the collision of a few marbles to the board that regards the entire universe as a game. Game" stuff, greed has tried it all.

He once used one dollar to bet on odds and evens in Las Vegas, and he won 27 times in a row. All the gamblers in Las Vegas rushed to him and tried to kiss his fingers, hoping to be favored by the goddess of luck. As if he believed in his believers, when greedy and laughing and losing No.20 eight times, the gambler's shouts resounded through the sky, as if he was in pain, as if he had lost; he once played marbles with urchins in Mumbai, The trajectory time of the passage stopped, and the whole city was swallowed by silence, and it became their game field; he once fought with those wolves of Wall Street in Manhattan, and built his own business empire single-handedly. The light of money shines on this street When everyone thought that this era would not end, the financial crisis planned by greed for a long time came surging...

Until the wave of video games swept the world, Greed also set his sights on this brand-new field, entered the game industry with never-fading interest, wandered in this brand-new field as a game investor, and planned to establish his own game empire.

If it weren't for the news of the appearance of the Son of the Black Mist, Greed would probably still be patiently waiting for "Death Stranding" to be completed.

The core of the game is "playing", and the player who plays the game is the player. As a player, he should challenge all the impossible, for example, try to see if he can make the Son of the Black Mist belong to him.

Unlike his colleagues, Greed has been interested in the Son of the Mist since he learned of her existence.

Of course, this kind of interest can't be the interest of love. The master doesn't have this kind of emotion of love. Greed is more interested in the meaning represented by the children of the black mist. The sea is naturally a key map full of mystery and unknowns in the game, and the son of the black mist born from it is also a key role in it. It occupies an important position in this game. For players, it is the kind that must be challenged no matter what. boss.

So after pulling Raniya into his game, Greed immediately started to conquer the boss like any hardcore player, and threw himself into the game full of fighting spirit.

However, the reason why a boss is a boss lies in the difficulty of conquering it. "Black Mist Queen Lanius" sounds like a boss that players may not be able to overthrow after hundreds of times of death. In front of the queen, Greed failed unexpectedly 99 times, from inside to outside, from body to heart, he was brutally tortured by the boss 99 times.

In order to challenge the difficulty, Greed has set up the game so that all the strategies take place on one timeline, which is as close to reality as possible, and also causes the difficulty to increase a lot every time he fails.

...After so many times, Greed realized he had done something stupid.

In the beginning, Rania just faced his overtures with doubts and hesitation, but as he failed again and again, the little girl who was confessed that she would open her eyes and take two steps back gradually changed. When something goes wrong, he shrinks back in fear, and later he learns to face it calmly, and then remains expressionless... In the end, the difficulty of defeating "Queen of the Black Mist Lanius" has reached an unbelievably high level.

Not to mention the strategy, Lania seemed to be able to recognize him in the next few times, as long as Greed chose a character, she would immediately stay away from that character, without giving Greed the slightest chance to approach.

No.90 failed nine strategies, greedily exited the game in disgrace, and began to reflect on whether he had set the wrong parameters and should not let Lanius keep his memory.

With the master's ability, it is not difficult to compress a long life into a moment, otherwise he would not be able to get through the endings of those superheroes so quickly, send them all out, and then concentrate on starting the long-awaited strategy of hidden characters.

In fact, he didn't intend to keep those people from the beginning. His goal was only the child of the black mist. As long as she agrees to the bet, she can't leave the game until she is captured. From the perspective of probability theory, since There is no time limit, he will always succeed one day.

But game lovers will repeatedly attack the boss, and besides game lovers, another identity of Greed is the devil lord, so he didn't plan to give Raniya so many chances.

This is also one of the agreements between laziness and him—the child of the black mist should not have been born with consciousness, and an unconscious container would be better controlled, so what he has to do is to erase the child of the black mist's consciousness, for example... let her Entering a game where character data is automatically destroyed after a hundred failed raids.

"Last time..." He sighed faintly.

Just when Greed was about to enter the game for the last time, there was a sudden wave in the distance, passing by where Greed was in an instant, making him pause and realize something.

Because it is using Stark's virtual reality, Greed also uploads his consciousness into the virtual reality. Being able to pull superheroes into the game at will.

And the fluctuation just now means that the loopholes in Stark's reality have been repaired, he lost his previous permissions, which is not much different from ordinary data, and the administrator has discovered what he did and is on his way.

Aware of this, Greed gave a "tsk", and could only temporarily give up the game, planning to leave Stark reality before continuing.

He exited the game, returned to the auditorium he had created, got up and left the auditorium quickly, and just as he was about to step out of the gate of the auditorium, a hand suddenly stretched out from the door and clasped his face head-on, wearing a The fingers of the tactical glove tightened, throwing him hard.

……

Anyone who has played strategy games knows that, generally speaking, from the very beginning, the player has a certain connection with the target of the strategy, whether it is a childhood playmate, or a glimpse, in short, there must be a certain connection to facilitate the next plot. Expand.

As for Raniya, who is the target of the strategy, the people who are in contact with her are her relatives and friends around her. Naturally, greed as a player will not spend a lot of time pinching a new character, but directly choose to play her People around her approached her, trying to complete the strategy.

It stands to reason that such a strategy has a high success rate, but the fact is just the opposite.

"Why is this happening?" Dick leaned over to look at the running records, a little puzzled.

Apparently greed also knows that the success rate of playing someone who is close to Rania in reality is higher. The game running record shows that he played Jason at the beginning, and pursued Rania... and then there was no more, the running record It didn't show what happened to him in the end. In short, this time the strategy was considered a failure. The lord simply gave up and changed to the next character to make a comeback.

Although the failure of the strategy made people feel relieved, Dick was full of question marks. If the failure was caused by the timeline not being restarted, then the probability of success for the first time should be the greatest. Greedy used Jason's Skinny, you shouldn't fail anyway.

"Hmm..." Facing this question, Tim hesitated for a moment before giving the answer, "The premise of the bet is that Rania will temporarily block the memory of the lord—"

This premise is necessary, because if the memory is still there, it is impossible for Raniya to let herself be captured by the lord, so greed has no chance.

"But Raniya just met us when she met the first lord. If the shielding starts from this time, then she...is not familiar with us."

Dick: "..."

The first lord they met was Gluttony cooked out of a pot. If it was at that time, Rania was not familiar with them. Although she maintained a superficial harmony, she was always polite when getting along. Sen is just a newly acquainted relationship, and it is too impossible for them to establish a parasitic relationship outside the game in the game. If this relationship is excluded, Raniya and Jason are completely strangers at that time...

In this case, Greed excitedly put on Jason's skin and ran to attack Rania.

...Dick can probably imagine what he went through before he chose to re-raid.

"Next..." Tim continued to scroll down the running log, "He tried to play more people, from us to Rania's friends, and... Wait, he also played Alfred."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present was silent.

Just thinking about it, I can imagine Raniya's ignorance - she chose to come to a new home, met her father, brother and brother, and the housekeeper, but within a few days they all started chasing her like they lost their minds, It even includes the old housekeeper...

"She has been raided 99 times, and all of these happened on the same timeline," Damian propped his chin, "How long has it been?"

Tim glanced at the running time: "Three years."

Three years, more than 1000 days, 99 raids...that is to say, greed will fail once in more than ten days on average, and then change to a new character, and every time he fails, the person who confessed to Rania will change, and Judging from this number, everyone she knew probably fell...

For outsiders, this is just a number that sounds a little funny, but it is obviously not the case for Raniya. In the past three years, she has been confessed to by people around her for no reason every ten days... It went on for three years, and it will go on forever if no one breaks this weird cycle.

And the only way to bring Rania out of this cycle is to attack her.

... No matter how you think about it, this is a daunting task.

Beating up Greed can be done by any of them, but only Jason can do the thing of bringing Rania out. The Batman thought so before, but now it seems that the feasibility of this idea is about to be hit. A discount - After being attacked by Greed so many times, it's hard to say what Rania is thinking now.

Needless to say, Tim has already cut the live action in the game to the projection.

The task given to Jason is actually divided into two parts. The first part is to pull him out of the game after his permissions have been reduced to ordinary data before his greed can react, and throw him into the garbage disposal area, while Red Robin is already in The garbage disposal area is sharpening the knife, waiting for the master to deliver it to the door; the other part is to enter the game and bring Rania out.

The previous task was completed well, at least when Tim cut into the live action, he happened to see the Red Hood beating up Greed, and Iron Man, who had repaired the loophole, stood watching as an administrator.

"I thought I said," Stark said coolly, "It is absolutely impossible for a scientist to allow others to steal his technology."

Damian was very excited to see it, and he was gearing up, wanting to go in and beat Greed together: "Give me a mask."

"He'll be in the garbage disposal area by the time you go in." Tim didn't even lift his eyelids.

After he finished speaking, in the projection, Jason let go of his dying greed and strode into the projection hall.

……

You can choose a character before entering the game, but of course Jason doesn't have much to choose.

He closed his eyes, and the darkness of the auditorium enveloped him. When he opened his eyes, he knew that he had entered the strategy game, and the timeline was after Rania had been conquered 99 times, but it was different from what he thought. Again, he didn't appear anywhere he thought he might, but in total darkness.

What the hell is going on?Jason thought.

He tried to move his arm, but he bumped into a hard wooden board just after moving a few inches, and there was a decaying, stale, damp and cold smell at the end of his nose, which gave him a subtle sense of déjà vu.

It didn't take much effort for Jason to find the source of the familiarity.

—the grave, he was in a grave.

Why is he in the grave?is he deadagain?

The air in the coffin became thinner and thinner, so Jason couldn't think too much. He hit the coffin lid hard, trying to get out of the tomb. The wooden board made a "dong dong" sound when he hit it, which sounded like a ghost rampaging inside the coffin.

Fortunately, this coffin was not as strong as the one he had dug up, and Jason was no longer the skinny boy he had been.After continuous impacts, the coffin lid finally came loose, and the soil pressed on the coffin leaked in through the gap. The unique smell of the soil was tangy. Everything confirmed that he was buried in the grave again, but as he gritted his teeth, Pushing the lid of the coffin, more and more soil fell into the coffin, and a gap was exposed between the soil layers, and the air from the world was blown into the tomb along the gap.

A few minutes later, the soil layer in front of the tombstone squirmed, and in the shadows, a hand suddenly came out of the ground, holding the ground firmly, and as the ground slowly twisted, a figure rushed out of the tomb, panting heavily, looking The shadow falling on him suddenly realized something, turned his head suddenly, and looked at the tombstone behind him.

Silvery white hair like moonlight, cold blue and honey-gold eyes like will-o'-the-wisps, the white-haired girl sits on the tombstone, the windbreaker spreads out like petals, and the hem of the windbreaker turns out the gorgeous red lining like fire , countless vague shadows spread out from her body, floating silently in the darkness, and the bright crimson red also fluctuated up and down, like a whirling flame tail.

The Queen of the Black Mist propped her face sideways with her left hand, leaning on the tombstone, and looked down at Jason who crawled out of the tomb. Those shockingly beautiful eyes of different colors flickered, and gloomy and indifferent emotions flowed in them, condensing There was a sharp and cold killing intent.

She seemed to have been sitting here for a long time, but she didn't expect someone to crawl out of the grave.

The black mist hidden in the shadows began to flutter, and several tentacles formed by the black mist shot out from under the scarlet petal-like cloth like lightning, and came straight to Jason.

The change in the shadow alerted Jason, who was half kneeling on the ground, and he immediately sensed the intention of the tentacles. When he climbed out of the grave, he saw that Rania's vibration did not affect his actions. Press, and use the force to jump up from the ground, avoiding the tentacles that are rushing straight.

"stop!"

Rania didn't pay attention to his words, her eyes turned slightly, more tentacles raised their heads like a group of snakes, and turned to his direction. For a moment, Jason felt countless cold gazes gathered in his eyes On his body, a dangerous electric current rushed up his back suddenly, causing his muscles to tense suddenly, and every line contained a ready-to-go strength.

Although I don't know why, the current Rania is obviously unable to communicate, doesn't seem to know him, and even wants to kill him for no reason.

Based on Jason's experience, he would never mistake the killing intent in Raniya's eyes. If he didn't resist, she would definitely bury him in the grave again.

He and the tentacle were facing each other a step away, both of them were like clockwork dolls, the smell of gunpowder in the air was extremely strong, as long as a faint spark would erupt completely.

The tentacles popped out!Jason also jumped up, and without hesitation rushed towards Rania surrounded by the black mist!

The tombstone couldn't be too far away from the grave. The distance between them was only one step. As Jason jumped up suddenly, Raniya's eyes also rose, walking along his strong and powerful figure like a cheetah, as if in the distance. Describe every detail of him with your eyes.

Thousands of tentacles of black mist rose from behind her, like arrows overwhelming the sky, flocking towards Jason one after another, touching his fingers in an instant.The moment it touched his skin, the black mist condensed into tentacles collapsed one after another, and the mist wrapped his right hand inch by inch, winding up his arm, and swallowing his arm in a blink of an eye.

Not only his right hand, but also his left hand and legs were covered by the same mist flow, which hoisted Jason up in mid-air, allowing Rania to look up at him.

The tentacles wrapped around his limbs forcefully opened his taut body gently but not without force, and more tentacles protruded towards him from all directions, like slender vines, wrapping around his body in circles, slowly tightening with the master's thoughts , forcing Jason to raise his head, revealing his fragile throat.

Under Rania's control, the illusory black mist became a reality, and the tightened tentacles were slightly trapped in the soft muscles. The poor blood circulation made Jason feel a little out of breath, but it wasn't these black mist tentacles that felt more oppressive. , but Rania sitting on the tombstone.

From the beginning to the present, she has not made any sound, and she has not even moved her fingers, but Jason can still feel that there seems to be some unstable and dangerous aura hidden in her body, exuding a cold and heavy pressure, as if invisible The shackles are being tightened little by little, strangling his throat.

What is she going to do?Jason gritted his teeth and thought.

A few tentacles climbed up his waist and abdomen, and climbed up close to Jason's body. It was clearly separated by a layer of clothes, but the cold and vague chill seemed to penetrate the light armor, passing by faintly. The warm skin left a clear feeling in Jason's mind, like water marks left on the skin in a rainy day, or like long and sticky snake letters passing by, making him almost forget to breathe.

The tentacles passed over his collarbone and entangled his neck. Jason felt something gently slide over the skin of the nape of his neck. Then the tentacles circled in front of him and touched his Adam's apple lightly. He rolled his Adam's apple, But the tentacle never left, it stopped at a position where it could pierce his throat at any time, the threat was beyond words.

The instigator watched her prey silently. He was forcibly lifted by countless tentacles. The breath of black mist corroded his clothes. There were traces of whiplash on the light armor. His black hair was scattered in front of his forehead, and those bright and sharp blue eyes were burning with unyielding anger, looking down at her fearlessly from under the forehead, completely unaware that this scene was full of messy and gorgeous beauty.

Under the moonlight, the Queen of the Black Mist looked at him for a long time, and finally spoke.

"who are you?"
