Chapter 263: Second Update
Chu Xiuyan took a deep breath and looked up. In the snow? The base looming in the distance?
[Origin] I am very interested in him. Is it just a simple parallel universe? But my uncle can also travel through time and space, and he has carried out more activities long before he arrived here.
But no matter what, I finally tricked him into going to the ruined city. I hope the uncles and the others can react sooner... They should recognize him, right? It's so obvious!
Chu Xiuyan was lost in thought. The moment he landed at the “Northwest Base”, the system fell from the sky onto his head.
"Host Su Su—I can't get in!!"
Chu Xiuyan was stunned. He didn't expect that the system would be the first to discover him. He muttered softly, "Just me? I just got here for a few seconds..."
Exposed? That quickly? Damn.
"Forget it. You go find my uncle. I suspect he has a lot of inhibitors stored at our place. I'm afraid it's too late to make them now. You go and bring them back."
The system originally wanted to howl at the host, but after hearing this, it couldn't help but become serious: "Is it true? What if it's not true?"
Chu Xiuyan took the system off his head, carefully touched its light ball shell, and said, "Then you can only come and fight me."
system:"???"
It paused, and suddenly realized that the host's appearance seemed different at this time, with medium-length silver-white hair, silver eyes of almost no other color, and a drooping face with no emotion, so it looked particularly strange.
The system hesitated and asked, "Have you been assimilated by [Origin]?"
Chu Xiuyan briefly summarized his contact with [Origin] in another space. Seeing that the system still wanted to ask something, he said, "Don't ask so many questions, go!"
The system disappeared in a flash.
Then, Chu Xiuyan looked at Base Zero in front of him and entered again.
Let his identity be exposed, since this game is not against him anyway.
Blood Mist blocked the door, looking back and forth at Chu Xiuyan with suspicious eyes, "Which one are you?"
This look? ...It's so deceptive.
But the light ball called the one in front of it the host.
[Origin] You don’t raise that kind of thing, do you?
[Blood Mist]'s mind was in a mess. He hadn't seen [Origin] for a long time. What did he want to say now? But he was pushed away by the boy opposite.
He quickly calmed down. Okay, this behavior is not God-like. Look, it's that guy.
But this look? ...
"Have you seen [Origin]?"
He quickly followed Chu Xiuyan, who was in a hurry to go somewhere unknown. After hesitating for a while, he asked again: "How is he now? How is his condition?"
"This is terrible." Chu Xiuyan walked quickly while suddenly turning his head, grasping the collar of [Blood Mist] and slamming it against the wall. He stared at the face covered by the mist and said unhappily, "I think you should merge with Him more than me."
Blood Mist was silent for a while, then slowly pried open his hands from his collar: "His pollution is irreversible. Even if I go back, I can only let Him have some human emotions for a short time, but they will disappear very quickly. This is meaningless. So, who are you going to find when you leave so fast?"
Isn't this obvious?
Chu Xiuyan loosened Blood Mist's collar, turned around and aggressively pushed open a door.
Inside the room, the doctor in the wheelchair slowly turned his head, his eyes as cold and calm as always, as if he didn't care about anything at all.
Chu Xiuyan was annoyed when he saw this expression. He walked closer to the doctor and said in a deep voice, "That guy has become neither human nor ghost, and you didn't do anything?"
The [Blood Mist] at the door paused and muttered, "What? What do you mean by neither human nor ghost?"
"We can work together, right?"
Chu Xiuyan approached the doctor, bent down, and put his fingers on the armrest. His lowered body and undisguised gaze showed that his patience had paid off.
But the doctor stared at Chu Xiuyan steadily, his eyes seemed to penetrate him and see another figure. He suddenly said, "If [Origin] disappears, all our past efforts and all the dead companions will be in vain. And for [Origin], I am one of the very few family members who can always stand behind Him and will not betray Him. Do you want me to choose to abandon Him?"
When Chu Xiuyan heard this, he was suddenly stunned.
Then another voice came from the door.
"So, is it your decision to follow Him into the abyss of death and die with the past?"
Chu Wenxi walked towards him step by step, with a cold look in his eyes.
He glanced at Chu Xiuyan's appearance at this moment, and rolled his eyes in disdain, "Get out, I'll take care of this guy."
Chu Xiuyan paused, "Did the system find you?"
"Yeah." Chu Wenxi looked at the doctor and smiled without emotion. "I did prepare a lot of inhibitors. What about you, doctor?"
＊
The ruined city is different from what you imagined?
[Origin] Standing on the busy street, I felt a little confused for a moment.
It had been a long time since he had been to such a lively place. All the people coming and going were human beings, laughing, noisy, angry, sad, and countless faces gathered in front of his eyes to form a constantly changing strange mask.
"Cloud Flame?"
Someone suddenly appeared behind him and patted his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw a pair of blue eyes.
——Cui Zhiyong.
[Origin] Thinking of the reaction that "Yunyan" should have, he smiled and said, "Why are you here, Brother Water Monster?"
"Zhang Chun just came back from the Northwest Base. I thought he didn't find you. So what's the matter with your habit of running around late at night? When will you change it?"
Cui Zhiyong muttered to himself as he pushed [Origin] towards the headquarters building.
[Origin] Listening to the almost non-stop complaints around me, I felt like I couldn't even get a word in, so what would be Yunyan's reaction?
He pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and gave the man next to him a heavy blow.
Cui Zhiyong covered his stomach and fell silent.
As soon as they reached the entrance of the headquarters, they saw Zhang Chun and a group of people hurriedly walking out.
"Cloud Flame?"
Zhang Chun looked at [Origin] and was stunned for a moment, then asked, "You came back by yourself?"
[Origin] nodded: "Whoosh? It flew back in an instant."
"..." Zhang Chun sighed, "We almost broke into the Northwest Base?... Forget it, let's talk about it on the way. Something went wrong in the desert, we should go and see? See? Do you want to come?"
[Origin]: "Okay."
Cui Zhiyong opened his mouth, then suddenly closed it again, with a strange look on his face.
Harris squeezed out of the team, gave [Origin] a silly smile, and then the dream passage opened.
[Origin] It was in the dream passage that we entered in the middle of the team. As soon as we landed, yellow sand rose up in all directions, sweeping in like a sandstorm.
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color.
[Origin] Looking up, the sunlight was also blocked by the sand and dust, with only a few faint and blurry rays of light showing through.
The horrifying sound of the whistling sand and dust was in my ears. Everything around me was thrown into chaos by the sandstorm. I couldn't tell the direction or see the outline clearly. There was only endless yellow sand rushing in the strong wind.
The ground felt sticky and strange.
【Origin】Slowly? Say: "Death place?."
After a pause, he remembered that the second generation of the Desert God had fallen. The Death Land? It had disappeared.
So this place should be called...
The "divine realm" of three generations of desert gods.
Phew.
A spike made of sand rose from the ground and pierced deep into His heart. In an instant, pain from the source swept over Him.
[Origin] Raise your hand, where is the power? The palm surges, but you remember the rules of the game.
——It is forbidden to use divine power and it is forbidden to attack anyone.
Then, the aura and strength surrounding him dissipated, and what replaced it was a gradually rising interest.
"You're just going to launch a fatal attack without even confirming it?"
He looked with interest at the figures that were looming in the dark sandstorm. A long cry like an eagle's cry rang out in the sky.
[Origin] Looking up, I saw a strange creature with a human face and a bird body hovering in the sky.
He narrowed his eyes, "Three generations of desert gods."
But then again, how and when was He exposed?
Obviously, I didn't say much to Zhang Chun... or, "not saying much" itself is a revealing point?
…
Cui Zhiyong turned his head to look? Zhang Chun, "How did you find out?"
"When I went to the Northwest Base, the doctor there said that Yun Yan had entered the memory projection." Zhang Chun was kneeling on one knee, pressing his palm against the ground. In front of him was the raging yellow sand. His low voice was a little hoarse. "At this point, the only thing that can be concealed by the Northwest Base is the 35th flashback of the location of the Earth. Yun Yan, who has experienced those scenes, will definitely not be so calm when he sees me for the first time."
As soon as the words fell, a figure fell from midair and landed on Zhang Chun.
"Congratulations, you guessed it right. I still want to kick the ground like crazy."
Chu Xiuyan got up from the ground, and patted the sand on the fallen Zhang Chun.
This was the first time the system brought an entity through space, and it was not very skilled, so it failed to land and hit someone.
"Cloud Flame?"
Zhang Chun got up from the ground, covered his head and shook it, feeling a little dizzy from the blow.
Also, although the newly appeared young man exudes a strange aura all over his body, it is obvious that this person is the one Zhang Chun is familiar with.
"The one in the sandstorm is [Origin]. I tricked Him out. Now he is in his original form. If I can injure him severely here..."
Chu Xiuyan licked his lips and picked up the huge sickle from the ground—he had taken it from the warehouse in the northwest base.
He held the sickle handle tightly in his palm. With a twist of his wrist, the sickle streaked across the night sky like a silver moon, spinning rapidly clockwise against his palm. The blade drew a cold arc in the air.
“So cool!”
Chu Xiuyan happily took a step towards the sandstorm.
Cui Zhiyong suddenly stopped him, frowning? Very? Tightly. It was? Rare? for Chu Xiuyan to see him like this? "Yunyan, you are? Very? Easy to be assimilated and polluted by the gods. If the next battle reaches a critical point, you must withdraw immediately."
Chu Xiuyan thrust the sickle into the sand, holding Cui Zhiyong's face and looking at him, "Oh my God, you actually said such serious words. Are you possessed by an uncle?"
Cui Zhiyong rolled his eyes, "I am reminding you very seriously!"
Zhang Chun looked up a little later, "But what Cui Zhiyong said is exactly what I wanted to say. Yunyan, don't become a god. If you encounter danger, retreat as far as possible. We will be behind you."
He had to? Not like this? Even though he was sure that the person in front of him was Yun Yan, whom he was familiar with, the silver-white aura that belonged to a god still made him uneasy.
Chu Xiuyan slowly looked at Zhang Chun and held the sickle handle again, "Don't worry, uncle, I believe you, I will retreat."
He turned around, tiptoed, and rushed into the depths of the sandstorm with his giant sickle.
Zhang Chun half-knelt on the ground again, his senses spreading rapidly along the sand. In another field of vision, "Cloud Flame" deep in the center of the sandstorm raised its sickle high and attacked the enemy's back -
[Origin] Hearing the sound of wind behind him, the moment he turned his head, the sand sank, the space twisted, and a hideous and huge black snake head suddenly appeared from mid-air, opening its bloody mouth towards him.
Attacks from all directions are still pouring in.
The sickle in mid-air struck like lightning. [Origin] flashed and appeared next to Chu Xiuyan who had landed on the ground. He raised his hand and held the sickle firmly. The sickle trembled slightly under the huge force. A few tiny cracks appeared on the blade, and the cold light suddenly lost its sharpness.
Chu Xiuyan: “Tsk——”
[Origin] states: "You attacked people, and you were the first to break the rules of the game."
Chu Xiuyan tilted his head, "But are you a human?"
[Origin] No more words.
Chu Xiuyan was stunned? He made a quick decision and kicked [Origin] in the chest.
[Origin] disappeared at the original place, and the sandy land where He appeared was covered with numerous pits.
"This is an unfair battle." He floated in the air and whispered, "So I have to ask for help from outside."
As soon as he finished speaking, the desert sky suddenly began to snow heavily, and the snow became heavier and colder.
There were ice crystals like blades spinning at high speed, shooting down towards the sand with terrifying momentum.
Zhang Chun was so fierce? He retreated, and the giant sickle coming towards him carried a terrifying cold air, reflecting a cold face.
“…Officiating Priest.”
High in the sky, [Ice Field] covered her face with her sleeves, revealing a pair of clever eyes that opened slightly.
The next second, the dark yellow sand turned into a snowy ice field.
The third generation desert god with a human face and a bird body hovering in the sky let out a long cry and attacked the [Ice Field].
The wind and snow passed through, and the cold was oppressive.
Chu Xiuyan only had time to look outside, and the [Origin] approached him with a smile on his face, and calmly crushed the giant sickle in Chu Xiuyan's palm.
And the next second, a blood-red branch was stuck in the chest of [Origin] who had not yet been removed.
It was bloody, exuding a violent and chaotic atmosphere, as if one could feel the dry, bloody scorching temperature.
Is this the branch of the Desert God Tree?
After Chu Xiuyan killed the second generation of the Desert God, he once climbed up the Origin Tree, plucked off half a branch, brought it back to the ruined city, and inserted it into the ground of the forest.
The one who brought it here was...
【myth】.
Above the clouds, a figure folded his arms, staring at the desert a thousand meters below with a sharp gaze.
Finally, [Origin] couldn't bear it anymore.
He slowly pulled out the bloody branch that had deeply pierced his heart, and threw it on the ground. A drop of golden blood splashed in the air.
"I'm a little sad."
[Origin]'s face turned pale, but there was still a relaxed smile in his eyes, "I am a little tired. I should win the fourth game. After all, your identity was discovered by the system you mentioned the moment you arrived at the Northwest Base."
Chu Xiuyan moved his eyes? God, system, that guy should have rushed to the real world now to move the hundreds of boxes of inhibitors that Chu Wenxi had made... Although I don't know why that guy would hoard so much, it will come in handy after all.
"Two to two, a tie for now."
[Origin] said: "And in the last round, let's see? See? Can they get in front of us?"
"What?"
Chu Xiuyan is still here? Without coming back to his senses, he subconsciously ran towards the direction where Zhang Chun and the chief priest were fighting, but the next second, he was grabbed by the wrist by [Origin] and dragged away.
The space distorted slightly, and a door appeared out of nowhere, with a scarlet color inside.
Chu Xiuyan was anxiously looking in the direction of Zhang Chun and the chief priest. It was good news, as Zhang Chun was slightly stronger.
But at this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something, his pupils shrank, and he hurriedly shouted: "Wait, don't come over——"
【Origin】Look up.
Zai Zhe had already pulled out the hilt of his knife, and with his eyebrows lowered, there was no smile in his eyes. "Field——"
Phew.
A streak of blood streaked across the air.
"——【Rule One, this place? Gods are forbidden to leave】."
The "door" suspended on the ground trembled slightly, and then suddenly broke.
Zai Zhe covered his throat, a smile in his eyes.
Scarlet blood slowly flowed out from between the fingers.
[Origin] With an expressionless face? He looked at Zai Zhe, then suddenly raised his hand. The next second, familiar figures rushed over from all directions.
"The conditions for Game 2." Chu Xiuyan decisively grabbed [Origin]'s shoulder and used his eyes to signal the others to pull Zai Zhe away.
[Origin] Silently? Looking back? At Chu Xiuyan, at that moment, there was a suffocating chill in his eyes, but very quickly, the chill dissipated and turned back into a light smile.
"Okay," He said, "I always hope you can stay with me for a while."
"But the game still has to continue."
"In the fifth game, I bet they won't appear in front of us again."
As soon as the words fell, the world turned upside down.
A thick scarlet fog swept in, covering the entire space.
The next second,
Zai Zhe, who had just stopped bleeding, struggled to get up from the wet ground, and saw the broken glass and lenses scattered on the ground in front of him, floating up like living things, gathering, and then floating in the air.
"What's this?"
Zai Zhe was a little surprised and talked to himself.
But to his surprise, a cold, familiar voice came from the broken glass.
"I am [Rule]."
"And you, what?"
At that moment, Zai Zhe's smile disappeared.
