Chapter 204 Psychedelic Dream (8)

"Why do you believe in fate? What has fate ever done for you?"

Ji Weihang did not respond to the priest's words, but asked back.

The priestess smiled, patted her wrist, and let go of her hand just at the right moment.

"Once upon a time, I was just an ordinary old man living in an ordinary world. People passing by would not even glance at me, and the occasional glance they gave me was just out of pity for my aging life.

“My achievements faded with time, and my friends left me. It was a life that was neither exciting nor boring.

"But after death, I ended up here. Such a strange and wonderful world."

The priestess spread her arms, and the ball formed by the thread of fate flowed in her arms.

"Women naturally have everything, and strong women can be found everywhere. I also have such interesting power, I can do anything."

The priestess smiled slightly, and the wrinkles on her face showed happiness and satisfaction.

"Isn't it a gift from fate to have the opportunity to see such a wonderful world?"

Ji Weihang looked at her and said, "You should know that we want to escape from here. If you think this place is wonderful, why do you still want to cooperate with us?"

The priestess lowered her hands, the thread of fate disappeared, and her expression returned to solemnity. "This experience is a gift from fate, so when fate comes to ask for a reward, it should naturally be offered."

Ji Weihang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he asked, "He came to you to ask for a reward? How did he ask for it? When?"

The priest said, "Three months ago, I played the role of a fanatic in the game as usual. At that time, I received an oracle, but I didn't understand its meaning until I returned to the resting space."

He Yi added information to Ji Weihang at the right time: The NPCs here need to go into the game regularly to follow their own stories, and they will lose their memories outside the game.

Therefore, every time you play the game, the NPC's reactions are completely real.

After returning to the rest space, they will recall their experiences in the game.

They also communicate and record special players they meet in the game and compare different players' methods of passing the game.

At this point, He Yi glanced at Ji Weihang and said, "There aren't many players like you who are so powerful and don't care about game points."

The number of times He Yi has been able to personally create new worlds in the game can be counted on one hand.

Seeing that He Yi had finished supplementing the information, the priest continued her topic: "The oracle said that a special player who is about to appear will lead us to a new world. He hopes that I will spread this news and help this person.

“I told He Yi and the others about this.

“The next day, He Yi met you and told me.

"I entered the game again and asked the gods whether the player He Yi met was the one the oracle pointed out. The gods did not answer, but strengthened my power, making it easier for me to identify His aura.

"With this power in my body, the first time I saw you, I was sure that you were the person the oracle mentioned."

Ji Weihang roughly understood the situation, and asked the last question: "What is the background of the game you are in?"

What does it have to do with the God of Destiny?

Priest Lao Dao said: “The background of the game is the battle between dawn and dusk. In the war between the God of Tomorrow and the God of Dark Night, I, as a priest of the God of Destiny, wander between the camps of the two gods and lead their believers onto the right path.

“Players need to choose a faction to build reputation, which is considered an infrastructure management and combat game.”

Sounds like the "past" of Asuka.

Ji Weihang said: "The game I experienced seems to be the future of your game long after."

The priest was not surprised and said, "It is not necessarily the future of the game I am in. First, there are thousands of parallel worlds in the universe.

"Secondly, the game I'm in is an old time that Wanshi cut out from a certain world. It's an independent program. We dead people are puppets chosen by Wanshi to replace real people. The game I'm in has no future."

Ji Weihang nodded, indicating that she understood. She looked at He Yi, "Are you also a dead person?" After a pause, she added, "I mean, are you also a dead person who plays the role of He Yi?"

He Yi said: "I am not playing He Yi, I am He Yi. There are different types of NPCs. They are role-playing NPCs who experience life after death, and I am an awakened NPC.

"Everything you saw me do in the game is what I wanted to do. It was just that one time, I suddenly began to doubt everything, and then, 'Eternity' brought me here."

Ji Weihang said: "The organization behind the game is called Wanshi? How do you know their names? Will they communicate with you?"

He Yi said: "We have a system panel with the words 'Wanshi' printed on it. They never communicate with us, except to send notices and subsidies when we work overtime."

Ying Feiqiong, who was listening in, muttered secretly: "There is actually a subsidy?"

Ji Weihang said: "It sounds like they are not very bad to you. Why do you want to leave here? Where can you go after leaving here?"

She questioned their purpose.

The white-feathered girl who had been walking around poked her head out and said, "Although this place is not bad, after staying here for so long, even if we can find new ways to play, we will eventually get bored.

"Not to mention that you always have to do the same thing in the game. Although you have no memory in the game, after you come out and restore your memory, you always feel like you have wasted some time again."

He Yi said calmly: “After I awakened, I left the original cage, but I only arrived at a new cage.

“I tried to wake my sisters, but I couldn’t.

"I don't believe they don't have the qualifications to awaken, so I start to doubt the authenticity of this place."

Only then did Ji Weihang notice that the seedlings that were originally floating in the air with the umbrella had disappeared at some point.

After being rejected by Gui Yan and Ren Fengpan, the Rubik's Cube Girl sat on the railing and said:

“According to the Rubik’s Cube Theory, the world is a giant Rubik’s Cube, and we may be brains trapped in the Rubik’s Cube, or we may be real life.

"Only by rushing out can we know the truth about the Rubik's Cube."

The priest said: "Although I am very grateful for the second life, after working for so many years, I have paid off my debt, right?

"In addition to repaying the gift of fate, I am also very curious about a different future."

Ji Weihang hesitated for two seconds and was about to speak when a strange NPC came over with three figures.

It was Ji Chengyuan, Bai Zhiyu and Ping Xi. The three of them followed the Internet cable to find them and just happened to meet them.

Just in time, she caught up with what Ji Weihang was about to say, so she wouldn't have to explain it again later.

But before explaining, Ji Weihang was more curious about what tripped them.

They were also in a hurry to speak, so they told their experiences quickly.

Ji Chengyuan and Bai Zhiyu entered Yi Gou's dream together in Ji Jiang Continent.

Yi Gou told them that after research, it was found that Ji Yuan's body was a replica of a demon's body, not Ji Yuan's body, and that body was just a tool for humans to use, not a real living being.

The organization behind the game should be able to easily create life that is indistinguishable from the real thing, but their fraud is so obvious.

This may be a deliberate clue.

But Yi Gou believes that this may indicate that the organization behind the game has a bottom line.

They would not intentionally destroy Ji Yuan's remains, nor would they create life and then destroy it at will.

However, these were all Yi Gou's guesses, and Ji Chengyuan was just repeating them.

After Ji Chengyuan finished speaking, it was Ping's turn.

Ping Xi turned around halfway on the way to the gathering place because she sensed Si Ruyang's presence.

She also met Si Ruyang as she wished.

However, the reunion was nothing like imagined.

Ping Xi said worriedly: "Ah Hai didn't recognize me at all, and didn't pay any attention to me. She was completely immersed in her dream. I wanted to use the nightmare to wake her up, but I was excluded from the dream instead.

“I wanted to try to break in again, but the lines on my body were pulled, which means there is a problem on your side.

“I thought about it and decided to come here to check out the situation and find someone to help.

"This situation is very strange. Normally, even if the player falls into a dream, it is easy to wake up."

Senior NPC Ms. He Yi said: "Are you sure she is a player? In this case, it is more like a non-player dreamer. Many dreamers are people sleeping in other worlds. Maybe you accidentally entered her dream in a parallel world?"

Parallel world? Ping Xi was a little confused, but still said with certainty: "The contract clearly points to her. I can feel the connection between us. As for whether she is a player..."

Ping Xi looked at Ji Weihang, expecting her to give an answer.

Ji Weihang thought for two seconds and said, "I can't confirm her identity as a player, but she disappeared with the other players."

The thoughtful Ying Feiqiong suddenly spoke up: "Since she was not a player before, is it possible that she and Tong Min were classified into the same category?

"Perhaps, this is also the reason why I never found Tongmin. Since he is not a player, he is naturally not with us."

Ji Weihang blinked and slowly reacted, "Ah."

Gui Yan excitedly interrupted the topic, "Then isn't it possible for us to find the location of Lin Xue and the others through Si Ruyang?"

The NPCs understood what they meant. He Yi said, "If you want to find the world where the dream master lives through her, it is almost impossible. We can't leave here, and neither can you."

The Cube Girl said boredly, "If we can figure out where this place is, maybe there will be a way."

Ji Weihang came back to his senses and said, "That's what I wanted to say before. I know what the essence of this place is."

The girls' eyes were focused on Ji Weihang.

Ji Weihang told everything about the God of Destiny and the Dream World.

In fact, she should have done so earlier, but perhaps it was fate that made her overly vigilant at the beginning, and it was precisely because of that vigilance that things developed to the current situation.

Ying Feiqiong said: "This Fantasy Dream Realm sounds very similar to the Void Realm."

Ji Weihang nodded, "Indeed."

The Rubik's Cube Girl said: "This is the different definitions of the same thing in different worlds."

The priestess's focus was more practical: "If everything here is an illusion, will we have a place to stay if we go out?"

Bai Yu Nu said, "I want to get out, but I don't want to die. Can't I just become virtual data on the Internet or something?"

He Yi said: "Ji Weihang will definitely get out."

Ji Weihang quickly came up with a plan: "Then send me out to check out the situation first. You guys divide the work and cooperate with each other, gather the strength of the players and NPCs, and then find out the situation on Si Ruyang's side."

Everybody agreed to the plan.

The only question becomes:

How should I send Ji Weihang out?

Bai Yu Nu: "Suicide? In a dream, death and weightlessness can wake people up."

Ying Feiqiong: "But in the collective dream realm, death only consumes spiritual energy."

Ping Si: "If we knew how to leave here, wouldn't we have left a long time ago?"

The girls: “…”

The priestess spread her hands and conjured a ball of destiny: "Why not ask the almighty gods?"

The old man closed his eyes and the ball of silk thread began to spin rapidly.

A few seconds later, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, and the silk ball shot out a beam of white light, pointing to the edge of the crowd.

——Gui Yan in a daze.

Facing so many eyes, Gui Yan came back to her senses and looked at the thread pointing at her in surprise, "Ah? Me?"

Gui Yan said: "I don't know. A quarter of an hour ago, I was still looking for a way through in someone else's dream. I didn't even know you existed. How could I know how to leave?"

Ying Feiqiong grasped the key point: "Yes, a quarter of an hour ago, you were still in the game."

She turned to look at Ji Weihang, "Why did you bring her here? Wouldn't it be better to let her spread information to other players in the game? We are in need of an insider among the players."

Ji Weihang thought for a moment and said, "I didn't expect this to happen. I took her away naturally."

"Unexpectedly", this word is incredible when applied to Ji Weihang.

Just like her previous excessive vigilance brought them to the NPC.

Ji Weihang concluded almost immediately: "It must be fate that played a role.

"When I was flying in the bird, I marked Gui Yan with a sea of consciousness, and I just found her through the sea of consciousness mark. Fate must have noticed this."

Bai Yu Nu: "What is the Sea of Consciousness Mark?"

Gui Yan changed the subject, "Destiny thinks I know how to leave here? But I really don't know."

Judging from Gui Yan's appearance, she really knew nothing about this.

Ying Feiqiong guessed: "If Gui Yan is not the direct factor, then there must be someone among the players who can help us leave the Fantasy World, and Gui Yan can help us contact her.

“We, the losing players, basically have no access to the players who are playing the game.

"——Except for people like Ji Weihang who have cheats."

Ren Fengpan said: "Then send Gui Yan back? But is she still a player? She has already fallen into the crack of the dream. Generally, players who fall into the crack can't go back."

Ji Weihang said: "...I took her away as if it was someone else's dream, so it shouldn't be considered falling into the gap?"

Bai Yu Nu said: "It sounds like a guaranteed admission. I'm jealous of those of you who have cheats."

Ji Weihang said, "Should I send her back? But that place is far away and hard to find."

Ying Feiqiong said: "She doesn't have to be sent back to her original place. If she is still a player, once the dream she is in collapses, she will be teleported to another dream.

"If she is not a player, when the dream collapses, she will fall into the cracks of the dream. We can throw her into a dream and see."

Gui Yan complained inwardly: Don’t think I didn’t hear what you said!

Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Gui Yan scratched her head and said, "Then let's give it a try. It won't get any worse anyway."
