One day, Nan Huan was just stepping into the bathtub,
When she was suddenly pulled into a mysterious game.
She initially thought this game was her chance to find her missing girlfriend,...
Chapter 369 Monster Hospital (Sixty-Eight)
Ever since Nanhuan and Beixi entered the biochemical area, the players from a guild alliance outside have been paying attention to the situation there. There are still a lot of ordinary evil thoughts floating around outside.
Even with Shenqi's protection circle, they were all injured to varying degrees, because those evil thoughts were like a bottomless pit, constantly flowing in.
There were also some players whose abilities were not particularly strong, who were almost bewitched by evil thoughts and started killing each other. Fortunately, President Barbie discovered it in time and no major disaster occurred.
But the most difficult ones to deal with were the players from the Anti-One Guild Alliance. After all, they were under control. President Barbie and Twelve could not bear to kill them, and they were beaten back step by step, but they could not escape.
Including the monsters, everyone followed the eldest lady's instructions and directed the evil thoughts to several borders of the Monster Hospital. However, the tightly wrapped biochemical area still could not let in any light. They could not see the situation inside, nor the current situation of the eldest lady and the president.
After all, the players are not machines. Faced with the endless black gas, it didn't take long for them to collapse. Even though the monsters had begun to cooperate with the players because of Shenqi's existence, their power was still too weak.
The entire Monster Hospital has been obscured by black air, and the sky has gone completely dark. Just as time goes by, players' hearts gradually grow cold as they watch the biochemical area show no signs of improvement. Could it be that even Shenqi can't handle it?
They didn't know how much time had passed before a little light finally came through the biochemical area. The golden light became deeper and deeper until the entire biochemical area was illuminated. They saw the eldest lady and the president again, feeling mixed emotions of joy and sorrow.
The good news is that the eldest lady and the president are both still alive, while the evil god and Man Wugui seem to have been tied up and temporarily unable to move. The sad thing is that the president's complexion is fine, but the eldest lady's condition does not seem to be so good.
They were too far away to hear the conversation between the people. They could only tell that something must have happened from the pain and despair on the president's face and his silent cries.
But the situation was not quite what they had imagined, because before entering the biochemical area, all the players thought that the one who would be sacrificed should be the president, but now the situation seems to have been reversed.
The first one to react was President Yan. She shouted "Not good!" and was about to rush over. The rest of the players then reacted and followed them towards the biochemical area. However, before they could get close, they were bounced far away by the almost white light.
Then they made a shocking discovery. The black air that was originally floating in the entire copy seemed to be connected by an invisible thread. They were like their pigtails were pinched and they were fixed in place. Then the golden light that was born from Shenqi's body began to spread towards the black air in all directions.
The golden light was seen following the black air, gradually being pushed back, becoming brighter and whiter, while causing fatal damage to the surrounding buildings, all dead and living things. Except for a while, everything that was illuminated by the white light turned into a pile of white sand, which was scattered by the wind.
The entire monster hospital began to collapse violently. The players could not even get close and could only flee in panic, looking for the last bit of shadow. However, the light continued to expand, and when the entire space was illuminated, some outspoken players could not bear it anymore.
"The power of our protective circle is diminishing. What's wrong with you, young lady? Are you going to sacrifice us all along the way?"
This player was not a player from a guild alliance, but originally a player from a neutral camp. He had never entered a dungeon with the young lady and the guild leader before, and did not know their situation. In this dungeon, he learned shocking news about their identities. Now, under the threat of death, it was inevitable that he spoke without thinking.
But just as she finished her words, President Yan hit her hard on the head, "What nonsense are you talking about? If the young lady wanted your life, why would she have waited until now? Something must have happened in the biochemical area. The president who was supposed to be sacrificed is fine, but the young lady is not in good condition. I guess the young lady... Shen Qi may have used some method to exchange herself for the president."
The players in Guild One were not in a good mood. Ever since they knew the identity of Guild Leader One and knew that she might be destined to be sacrificed, they had been suppressing their emotions. But now when they heard that the eldest lady might want to exchange herself for Guild Leader One, they felt even worse.
Although other players may not be aware of the relationship between the two, the players in the guild are the most clear. They originally thought that the two had a bond outside of the game, but now it seems that this bond existed even earlier.
Everyone felt disappointed. They really wanted to do something for the two of them, but now they couldn't even enter the biochemical area and were constantly being chased by the white light.
——
Every time Nan Huan said another word, Bei Xi's heart sank a little. She finally understood why the other party had behaved so strangely before. She had obviously made up her mind to die, but why was Nan Huan unwilling to stay with her for a while longer and talk to her for a while longer?
It turned out that the other party had thought of it long ago, not a year ago, not twenty years ago, but so long ago. She thought that since she had recovered all her memories, she should have known that Shen Qi was at a dead end and the crossroads of choice had come again. However, she did not expect that Shen Qi had thought of a way out for herself long before that, and even did not hesitate to use Nan Huan himself in exchange...
"Is it worth it?" Bei Xi murmured, "We agreed to go home together. Even if you let me live like this, without you, this world has no meaning to me..."
Bei Xi had never felt so heartbroken. Nan Huan was obviously not far away from her, but she couldn't touch him. She had never been so helpless before. No matter how difficult the situation was in the past, she believed that there was always a way out. But now she was trapped here, unable to move. She could only watch Nan Huan. She made up her mind, with an indescribable determination in her eyes.
But how could her thoughts escape Nan Huan's mind? "You took my heart home with you. I can feel it. I want to go home and see that world again. After I leave, the burden of purification will fall on you. Without the existence of the evil god and Man Wugui, it will be just a routine job. I have no one else to entrust my work to, only you. You know, I want to see more of this world, okay?"
Bei Xi was completely speechless. She stared at Nan Huan with wide eyes, angry that she had anticipated every detail, was worried that she would not live according to her wishes, and even prepared things for her to do, calling them things she had not finished.
She refused to let him accompany her. Bei Xi felt despair again. She didn't know what expression to use to face Nan Huan. On the one hand, she was very angry with him and wanted to hug him tightly to punish him like before. On the other hand, she saw that the cracks on Nan Huan's body were getting worse and worse. She knew that they didn't have much time left, and she didn't want Nan Huan to remember her angry look.
The two looked at each other for a long time, but it seemed like only a few seconds had passed. Bei Xi finally compromised in despair, "I promise you, I will live well and protect this world for you. Can you come back? You can definitely come back, right?"
Bei Xi did not give up. Nan Huan was Shen Qi, the last god in the world. She possessed such powerful strength. She had achieved reincarnation before. So what about this time? What if she could succeed?
Nan Huan's body was still cracking. To purify the pollution sources in the entire game, a lot of energy was needed. Moreover, the damage caused by this huge amount of energy was not only that everything in the biochemical zone turned into powder after being rapidly compressed, but Nan Huan himself was also suffering huge damage and pain.
But after hearing Bei Xi's compromise and promise, she seemed to no longer be able to feel the great pain. She didn't know how to face Bei Xi's last cautious, childlike question.
In fact, the evil god had already answered the answer to the question just now. Only when Shenqi's heart was preserved intact could she be reincarnated and live forever. But now it should be impossible. However, facing Beixi's expectant eyes, Nan Huan really couldn't tell the other party a negative answer.
"I will definitely come back, can you be patient?"
Both of them knew the truth of this answer, but at this moment they needed this false answer desperately to support each other.
"I believe you. You promised me that I will wait for you. You must come back soon. I will live well and watch over the world for you."
Bei Xi's tears had stopped at this moment. She wanted Nan Huan to remember her smiling face, so she seriously agreed to every request he made to her, "Can you let me go? Let me hug you one last time."
She compromised. She was willing to compromise for Nanhuan if that was his wish. But she wanted to hug him for the last time. She didn't want them to just look at each other and say goodbye, and then separate.
"Can we wait until next time? I look a bit ugly now," Nan Huan still had tears in his eyes, but he still forced himself to make this cruel decision. It was not the right time yet. If he let Bei Xi go now, in case the other party wanted to fight, it would not be the time to be completely safe.
After she said these words, more light burst out from her body, and the long-lost system prompt sound finally rang at this time.
【bite--
All player contracts have been activated and are now effective. 】
Tiandao's voice was still very calm, but if you listened carefully you could still hear some dissatisfaction. However, it was dragged into this situation by Shenqi in the first place, and now facing this situation, there was nothing it could do to save the situation. It could only help Shenqi have a beautiful ending.
【bite--
It is detected that the trust of all players except the president of the potential target is 80. Do you want to use the skill "I am the eldest lady"?
Note: This time you do not need to consume points to use the skill. After completing the faith ceremony, all players except the first president will automatically become the eldest lady's 'die-hard believers'. 】
After hearing the system's voice, Nan Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and endured the severe pain in his body and typed the words "use skill".
The players, who were being driven by the white light and were about to lose their last bit of protection, finally heard the system's prompt sound when their lives were hanging by a thread.
But this prompt sound is not only heard by the players in the ultimate copy, but also by the players who are anxiously waiting in the buffer area. They always thought that it was not a good thing to hear it before, but now they are looking forward to this prompt sound.
【bite--
It is detected that when the player enters the game, he has already signed a contract with the Lord of Infernal Affairs and become the most devoted believer of the Lord of Infernal Affairs - the eldest lady, which is regarded as a ceremony of faith that has already been completed.
Now the Lord of Hell has decided to use the skill 'I am the Miss', and the player will automatically become the Miss's 'die-hard believer' and receive the Miss's protection. 】
I don't know when it started, but the three words "young lady" have become a symbol of security. No matter whether it is the players in the buffer zone or the players in the ultimate copy, although they are not quite sure how many identities the young lady has and what this game has to do with her, until this moment, when they heard that they could automatically get the protection of the young lady, everyone's heart suddenly relaxed, as if they saw the dawn of victory.
But before they could think carefully about what form this shelter took, a golden light flashed before the eyes of all the players, and they seemed to have found themselves in a pure white space.
Although the monsters did not hear the system's prompt sound, they had become believers of Shenqi many years ago, so the moment Nan Huan's mind moved, they also entered different pure white spaces.
Nan Huan, who was still in the biochemical area, had begun to become transparent as the cracks on her body increased. More intense light was drawn from her body, and quickly spread along the controlled black air to the entire ultimate copy, and then spread from the field of the ultimate copy, quickly filling all the copies in the game, controlling the constantly surging evil thoughts and black air, and continuously transmitting her own power.
The entire game world suddenly stopped at a certain moment. In just a few seconds, it was hit by a dazzling white light, and then a long rain of white sand began to fall.
Nan Huan exhausted the last bit of energy in his body. He watched helplessly as the bodies of the Evil God and Man Wugui were filled with white light. After seeing that there was no longer a trace of black in the entire game world, he collapsed weakly.
In an instant, all the restraints on Beixi finally disappeared. She hugged Nanhuan again before he fell. However, Nanhuan's body had become completely transparent, without any weight at all. Beixi could hardly see his face. Nanhuan weakly raised his hand, trying to wipe Beixi's tears. "Don't cry. I like to see your smile."
She spoke haltingly, but found that her hands had become completely transparent and she couldn't touch Bei Xi's face at all. She could only watch as the other's tears penetrated her body and fell to the ground.
Bei Xi had already taken a step ahead of her and touched Nan Huan's cheek with her hand, letting her feel her body temperature. Although Bei Xi tried her best to show Nan Huan the smile she liked, her tears were like beads with a broken string, and she couldn't stop.
Especially when she felt that the person in her arms was disappearing little by little, she felt scared in her heart, but she knew clearly that she could do nothing.
"You just asked me if it's worth it..." Nan Huan forced himself to speak, "Of course it's worth it. I didn't understand it before, but after meeting you, I understand it..."
She stared at him intently, as if she wanted to engrave Bei Xi's appearance in her mind. She did not explain what she understood. She knew Bei Xi must understand, "You will not be held hostage anymore. You have to watch over this world for me. You also said you would take me home..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and her body became more and more transparent. At the last moment before she disappeared, Bei Xi heard a sentence carried by the wind into her ears, "I love you... I'm sorry..."
Bei Xi tried to hold the person in his arms, but Nan Huan was like sand, flowing away from his arms uncontrollably.
"I love you too...I'll be waiting for you..."
The moment Nan Huan completely disappeared, the fragment of Nan Huan's heart inside Bei Xi's body beat twice, as if responding to Bei Xi's words. Bei Xi looked down and found a new bud had sprouted at the place where Nan Huan disappeared. After being watered by Bei Xi's tears, the new bud grew rapidly, and soon the emerald green color began to spread.
The initial new sprout quickly grew to half a meter high. Its leaves were strangely abstract, like human faces and veins. In just a few seconds, it took root, sprouted, and bore fruit.
A golden fruit hung on the branch, and soon after it matured, the moment it fell to the ground, it turned into a palm-sized, crystal clear egg with a hard shell. The original green plant began to wither and disappear the moment the egg fell to the ground, as if its mission was to bring the egg here, and it disappeared immediately when the mission was accomplished.
It all happened so fast. In just a few seconds, Bei Xi looked at the green plants that were still spreading, and then looked at the egg that rolled to her feet along the soft grass as if it had a soul. Finally, she came to her senses, hurriedly and carefully picked up the egg, and held it in her arms.
"Anan?" She didn't dare to move around casually, with tears still on her cheeks, so she only dared to confirm carefully.
But the egg didn't react at all. Only the piece of heart belonging to Nan Huan in her body beat twice faster. Bei Xi was not sure whether she was too excited or if there were other explanations for the strange things in front of her.
She didn't dare to be too happy, fearing that it would be in vain, but she couldn't help but hold on to her fantasy. The huge emotions buried in her heart almost overwhelmed her, but Bei Xi was not an ordinary person. She quickly forced herself to calm down and tried to sort out a thread from the mess. Then she remembered an important existence. In just a blink of an eye, Bei Xi was no longer the person who could only shed tears just now. The coldness around her had completely returned. "It has become like this now, and you are not going to show up and talk to me?"
