When the 'Heavenly Dog' devoured the sun, the apocalypse descended. Xu Zhi, a young girl with a heart condition, was cruelly abandoned by her parents in a dead city.
Countless mutated...
So you went down the wrong path because you found the right path was blocked, and you wanted to see if the other path was blocked as well?
The narrator quickly understood why Xu Zhi did this.
"Yes." Xu Zhi nodded.
【It seems like it’s over.】
The game console screen flickered weakly a few times.
"How come it's over?" Xu Zhi's tone was a little more energetic now.
I thought it might be difficult, but I didn't expect it.
[How much effort must have been expended to completely cut off access to this world.]
[In order to prevent him from being reborn, he actually did something so decisive.]
Xu Zhi:?
"I don't understand, speak human language."
The only thing she understood was that the path to advancement in the forest was cut off, not due to natural reasons, and was also to prevent something from being reborn.
[.The extraordinary level of this world has been locked, and all living things can only passively wait for death to come.]
We cannot break through our limits, we cannot ascend to the other side, and we cannot escape.
[When the limit has not yet appeared, living things can still hold on to a glimmer of hope, but once the limit is reached, despair descends.]
【And you, you are the first extraordinary person to touch the end. 】
After the narrator said this, as if touching upon some secret, the screen of the game console suddenly turned into garbled characters, followed by several cracking sounds. The game screen, which had always been fully charged and intact, suddenly showed signs of cracks.
When the game screen lit up again, the pixelated style seemed to be covered with a shadow, and the battery level showed a precarious red.
Clearly, the narrator has paid some kind of price for what he said earlier.
Looking at the game console that seemed to be on the verge of death and would completely shut down due to damage in the next second, Xu Zhi's expression finally showed some concern: "Are you okay?"
【.】
Several black and white dots appeared on the screen, but there was no response.
Xu Zhi waited for a long time, but the narrator did not appear. Xu Zhi then realized that perhaps the narrator was unable to answer his question.
The extraordinary abilities in her body were running rampant, but they were slowly sorted out by her after she left the forest.
When she had sorted it out completely, she discovered that her extraordinary level had indeed risen a little, but only a little. If she went any higher, she would have a feeling of "touching the ceiling", as if she was trapped in a very low room and had to keep her head down to survive, unable to continue to grow "upwards".
However, apart from this, her biggest gain from this trip to the fantasy world was learning the extreme secret of [Road Blockage].
Those who reveal the secret will suffer backlash, but after knowing some powerful secrets, creatures will also gain some knowledge and the benefits of prying into the secrets.
At this moment, Xu Zhi realized that his brain could understand and digest knowledge more quickly, as if after reaching the top, the remaining less advanced knowledge became easier to understand.
The most obvious change is her [Authority], which is a very special supernatural ability. Before, Xu Zhi could only use [Authority] to control some abilities related to Cloud City and the fog, but now, after seeing the golden texture of the cliff and midnight, and being reminded by the narrator's words, she seemed to have touched something more profound and powerful.
Somehow, Xu Zhi felt that she had "seen" a small part of those things, but she had not yet understood them. The moment she understood them, her [authority] would be able to touch and use them.
That would be something very important, something that would allow her to have the ability to resist in this world where the path to transcendence is cut off.
Does the narrator know about this?
Xu Zhi felt that it probably knew something, otherwise there would be no need for it to keep telling people riddles before, and now it would suddenly take a huge risk and tell them the truth.
The severance of the road made the narrator look a little desperate, but he did not indulge in it. Instead, he immediately came up with other countermeasures.
"That's quite rational." Is it because it's a machine?
No, although the game console is a machine, it is more like an extraordinary object, and the narration is definitely not an AI.
"If a game console has attributes, it would be like a light."
Omniscience and the like are quite suitable.
In short, even though he knew some situations that were enough to make people despair, such as that there was no way to advance in the extraordinary path of this world, and that the end of the world caused by Him might come in the near future, Xu Zhi's mentality still did not collapse.
Although I feel the pressure, everything depends on me.
As for whether man can conquer nature, it depends on luck when the time comes.
Feeling that his body had almost recovered, Xu Zhi stood up from the ground, picked up the remains in the center, and walked towards the little alien.
At the same time, she summoned Nightmare, who walked to the "cat cage" woven from small alien branches. Trapped inside was the black cat that she had brought out from midnight.
As soon as it saw Xu Zhi, its fur stood on end.
"Human, you don't keep your word!"
And when it saw the black cat cub following Xu Zhi, there was a hint of disbelief in its dark green pupils.
"What did you do to me?!!"
The black cat's voice was sharp and high-pitched, and Xu Zhi frowned when he heard it.
"What can I do to you?"
"Besides, wasn't our promise that I would bring you out? How did I break my promise?"
After saying that, Xu Zhi didn't wait for the black cat to refute. He asked the little alien to open a hole in the cage and said to Nightmare, "Go in and eat it."
After saying that, he deliberately added in a worried tone: "You look so small, I don't know if you can succeed."
The little kitten, who had always maintained an arrogant look, couldn't stand it anymore after hearing this. His pupils erected, he meowed disdainfully, and then jumped into the cage in a few steps.
The door of the tree cage slowly closed, and when it opened again, it had to be after Xu Zhi confirmed that the one who "survived" was one of her clan members.
"Let me know when they're done."
After giving orders to Xiaozhen who had been staying in the treetops, Xu Zhi left here and headed for the base in the city center.
When Zhong Lingfan was found, she was busy doing an experiment. Xu Zhi observed for a while and roughly realized that it was the girl she had brought back before, who had the ability to sever the connection between living things and supernatural beings.
What Zhong Lingfan is doing is experimenting to see if he can extract and store this ability and make it into a weapon.
If it could, it would be a powerful weapon against extraordinary creatures.
Xu Zhi had already forgotten about this girl, but she didn't expect that Zhong Lingfan was still doing experiments in this area.
Xu Zhi did not disturb her, but waited until the end of a stage before gently knocking on the glass to indicate his presence.
Xu Zhi thought about it and realized that there was no need for her to carry the responsibility of "saving the world" on her shoulders. It was not that she wanted to escape, but simply because she had no interest in it.
But now, for her own survival, she has to think about how to break the deadlock.
But why was she the only one pondering this?
Obviously, everyone has to face this crisis, so we should all work together to find a solution!
