Chapter 46: Misty Rain in Jiangnan (Seventeen)
Feng Zhibei covered his wound, raised his eyes and chuckled, "You're not pretending anymore?"
The knife had been stabbed in a very sharp spot, causing him to almost lose his balance in pain. He endured the pain and straightened his back.
The master limped forward, his eyes wavering for a moment before becoming firm again.
"You can't leave here. The Queen said you have to stay, stay here..."
Feng Zhibei's wound was soaked by the rain, and the slight tingling sensation went up his spine, making his brain clearer.
He looked at the Master holding the knife and suddenly said, "Don't you feel very sorry for your dead brothers and sisters?"
The master was stunned.
Feng Zhibei: "You know exactly how your brother and sister died. Don't lie to yourself, my friend. Why are you putting the blame on your beloved queen at this time?"
Not only the master, but even the audience was stunned.
Didn't He Yutong jump into the river because of the Empress's negative effects? He didn't die in the end, though.
[But in the eyes of the NPCs, my sister is dead, right?]
So what did he know? I don't remember anything special about it.
[If you have any inside information, please tell me! I’m so anxious! Tell me now! ! ]
Feng Zhibei took a deep breath, which made the audience nervous.
The atmosphere is perfectly set.
He exhaled and spoke so quickly that it was almost inaudible: "Pay attention, this man is called Xiao Ming. He is trying to commit suicide by jumping into the river to go to the underworld to find his sister who died long ago."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, illuminating the entire bridge.
The Master's pale face was soaked with rain and his eyes were filled with confusion.
Feng Zhibei took advantage of his distraction and rushed down the bridge with big strides, not caring about the tearing pain in the wound on his lower back.
The audience was silent for a few seconds, and then the barrage of comments broke out.
[I shouldn’t have believed what this bastard said!!!]
「What are you doing……I said, don’t be so ridiculous……」
What was he just saying? Why didn't I hear it clearly?
[If this works, I'll wash my hair upside down! ]
Just a few seconds after the last bullet comment scrolled by, the system prompt sounded.
[Ding! Attribute used successfully!]
Feng Zhibei breathed a sigh of relief, but for a moment he could not support his body and fell into the rain.
[…He got all of this? ]
[Where's the guy washing his hair upside down? Come live!]
[The host's luck seems to have improved in this instance, as he successfully used the attribute twice in a row.]
The Master on the bridge was still in a daze. Suddenly, his eyes turned red and tears flashed in his eyes.
"Sister...are you underwater..."
He limped to the edge of the bridge, climbed up with difficulty, and was about to fall into the river.
Feng Zhibei casually opened the live broadcast panel and said with a smile, "Dear viewers, I am not lying. He was indeed the one who killed his sister... You ask why?"
"It's very simple. He Yutong wasn't there when the Empress was invited, but he appeared by the river. Isn't it obvious? He was taken there!"
He took out the treatment medicine from his backpack and swallowed it with trembling hands.
Feng Zhibei's long black hair was a little messy, with strands of wet hair sticking to her face. Her pale face and teardrop mole made her look disheveled and fragile.
But his eyes were sparkling.
"My dear viewers, please look forward to the final explanation of this dungeon..."
Feng Zhibei supported himself on the ground with his hands, stood up and walked towards the river.
The wound on his lower back has stopped bleeding and does not affect his movement.
"I'm about to give a little speech during this dungeon's commentary... Don't worry, it's not some bullshit."
The audience was kept in suspense, cursing and looking forward to it in the barrage.
The master jumped into the river when Feng Zhibei was slumped on the ground and disappeared without a trace. It is impossible to be sure whether he is dead or alive.
Feng Zhibei leaned towards the river, thought for a moment, took off his coat and threw it into the mud.
"I'll go down and make up for it."
He took out the underwater breathing pill he had prepared in advance from his backpack and swallowed it in one gulp.
The dry pills passed through his throat, causing him to cough twice uncomfortably.
Feng Zhibei held a fruit knife in his left hand and a lighter in his right hand, closed his eyes and jumped into the water.
The rain seemed to be getting lighter, and the raindrops hit the water surface sparsely.
There were scattered footsteps nearby, and a group of people walked out of the fog.
"That new commentator...why did he jump into the water?"
One of them spoke cautiously.
"Who knows? It would be better if he died here."
Another person stared coldly at the river. "The future president is the strongest prophet. If he says the new interpretation is flawed and will bring disaster to all players, then he must be right."
Everyone was talking at once, discussing Feng Zhibei's various deeds.
"It's outrageous that someone like him could even survive the first dungeon... None of the previous commentators made it past the first dungeon!"
"And he's hanging out with that weird rich man. There's something fishy about him no matter how you look at it."
"Yeah yeah……"
A hoarse female voice interrupted them from behind.
"I say... what's the point of you guys just standing here? Why don't you log out of the game first and talk about this later?"
Tang Shui was wearing a hood and raised his head. His dark eyes looked a little creepy.
She has been a little depressed since Chen Yingjie was declared dead in the game. Although the two of them have not been partners for long, it is not easy to find a partner who can be relied on in this kind of man-eating game.
She entered this new copy just to change her mood.
The people in front were a little afraid of this overly taciturn prophetic woman.
She glanced at the crowd.
The fat man in front is the most resentful and is definitely a desperado; the thin young woman on the left is second, and she probably has a lot of lives on her hands...
The overwhelming resentment made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Players who can come to the new copy are basically seeking opportunities, and their strength is definitely not bad. After all, wealth and honor are sought in danger. If you don’t have enough capital, losing your life will not be worth it.
But the players stayed here for several days, and apart from the unusual movements that occurred regularly every night, they hardly encountered any danger.
Not to mention any rare items.
So this group of people set their sights on Feng Zhibei.
The day before this copy was opened, the future president Jin Yu, as the strongest prophet of this season, made the last prophecy of this season.
"The new commentary will lead us to another hell. If we don't put it out in time, the whole game will fall into darkness."
His predictions were 100% accurate, so after the announcement, all the major guilds panicked.
Only A-296 and Free Fantasy among the three major guilds did not express their views.
Tang Shui thought of the bounties offered by several guilds on Feng Zhibei, and couldn't help but cast his gaze towards the river not far away.
Suddenly, her expression changed and she yelled, "Everyone, get away from the river!"
The other players also noticed the unusual movement of the river and quickly moved away, expressions of surprise and suspicion appearing on their faces.
A cloud of smoke rose above the river surface beaten by raindrops, and the blue light that suddenly appeared from the bottom of the lake became brighter and brighter until it illuminated the entire river.
“Zizi—”
With the sound of water rapidly evaporating, a ball of blue fire suddenly ignited from under the bridge, illuminating the entire riverside.
The flames enveloped every flower and tree in the land, but did not harm them. Instead, they were covered with a swaying blue film.
In this dreamlike scene, several red lanterns rose from the distance and floated towards the sky, and sobbing sounds were heard around everyone.
Tang Shui looked around vigilantly. Several translucent human faces appeared in the rain, and raindrops kept falling, as if they were crying.
"My Lady...My Lady...it hurts..."
"My child..."
“Why did you lie to us…”
The flames engulfed them and their cries were drowned out by the sound of rain.
The other players were confused. "Is this... the end of the game?"
This ending scene only appears at the end of the game.
White letters appeared in the dark sky:
As a member of the demon exorcists, one of your companions helped the citizens eliminate the abnormality and restore Qingshui City to its original state...
Before the subtitles appeared completely, blue flames suddenly rose and engulfed it.
The raindrops paused strangely for a few seconds before continuing to fall, but the rain was obviously much lighter.
The other players opened their mouths, unable to speak for a long time.
“……?”
——Why can this fire burn the subtitles?
On the other side, Yan Chuxue, with the help of a child's corpse that came from nowhere, stabbed the sword in her hand into Ji Ling's eye socket.
With a "pop", his eyeballs burst open and white fluid mixed with black liquid splashed out.
Ji Ling looked at the child climbing up on him with his good eye and suddenly laughed.
"Ha... After all these years, why do you still harbor the illusion that humans can coexist with me?"
Yan Chuxue ignored him and swung her sword again.
His veil was wet by the rain and became translucent, almost revealing his facial features.
The audience in the live broadcast room thought that this NPC lady was following the plot and saying pre-designed lines.
Only Yan Chuxue knew that this was not the case.
Wilderness has a strong learning ability. He will update himself and constantly patch the bugs in the copy.
But there are always bugs that cannot be detected or are difficult to fix.
Ji Ling is the embodiment of the wilderness and a special debugger.
He is not a living person, but just a string of code. He appears in every copy. His role is to detect bugs and use himself to fill in unfixable loopholes.
Yan Chuxue dodged an attack and her eyes darkened.
This type of NPC is mentally insane and even more dull and stupid than ordinary NPCs.
But the wilderness somehow brought him back to his senses.
Or maybe... the wilderness had descended upon this body.
Yan Chuxue had just stood firm when suddenly a sharp pain spread from her solar plexus to her brain.
Ji Ling on the opposite side had a bad look on his face and frowned.
The child who was attacking him stopped, his eyes blurred, and he gradually disappeared into the air.
Ji Ling put the head back on his neck and twisted it twice, making a teeth-grinding sound of bones colliding.
"It's always you two...it's always you two..."
He waved his red sleeves, and a gust of cold wind blew around him.
"I'm disgusted by people like you who fall in love with mice... Rats should rot in the gutter and disintegrate into slag in the water. It's their honor to dedicate their lives to a lab..."
Ji Ling's voice became increasingly unclear, like a malfunctioning radio.
"Why are you doing this? You'll only bring him pain over and over again..."
In the end, Yan Chuxue was the only one left in the entire scene.
He shook his head painfully, not forgetting the most important thing.
shrine.
The small red shrine lies quietly in the depths of the ruins, giving off a sense of beauty that reflects the tranquility of time.
He staggered to pick it up, and somehow opened it.
The tiny bone was still inside, emitting an attractive luster, which was particularly eye-catching in the dim environment.
Yan Chuxue's vision was a little blurry. After standing in the rain for a few seconds, she took it out.
The system prompt tone is very conscientious.
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the entry-level item—???'s bone pendant.]
A couple who haven't confirmed their relationship yet gave each other this as a parting gift. Why are they lovers? Only they know the reason!
Yan Chuxue put the bone pendant into her backpack.
This time the headache was extremely severe, probably because Feng Zhibei had killed the master and his memory had returned.
I don't know what's in this memory...
He looked at the red lanterns rising slowly in the distance, hesitated for a second, then took out the powerful painkillers that he had bought and had not touched since then. After swallowing one, he started running towards the river.
The author has something to say:
Thank you everyone (bow)
I never thought I could write an update after finishing my paper. It's amazing!
