Chapter 72 Bai Ye: The six hundred and sixty-six DM system is not hot anymore!
Thanks to that aggregate, everyone now believed that Bai Ye's poor condition was caused by overdrawing his soul tag ability to block the fusion of the blood butterfly and the remains of the devil. Fortunately, after that accident, neither t173 nor the DM system took any further action. Bai Ye lay in the ward for nearly a week, and was finally allowed to leave the hospital by the Squid Detective Agency who surrounded him.
Before leaving the hospital, Bai Ye and several members of the Squid Detective Agency went to the special ward of the hospital under the Yoshima Metropolitan Police Department. Through the transparent glass barrier, the high school students' eyes fell on the "patients" who were unconscious and sleeping in the special ward. They looked normal, but their arms, fingers, and temples exposed outside the quilt had pixel-like cracks.
The pixels were red and blue, as if these people were data lives made up of pixels, and the essence of their bodies would be revealed with a slight touch.
“Pixelated… This is the result of not winning the game within seven days of the first season and losing to the Devil’s Apostle.”
Shuise clenched his fists, and his silver eyes almost turned into cold white snow.
The DM system still revealed its hideous true face to the demon players. Countless demon players fell into a coma after the first season of the game. Their souls were taken as a price, and because of the incompleteness of their souls, they fell into an irreversible sleep.
The Sun Enforcement Bureau tried its best to control the situation, but the DM system had already collected enough souls, and the Holy Grail floated safely to one-third. Players could not withdraw from the game on their own, and even if they wanted to play passively, they could not afford the price of losing the game and falling into eternal sleep.
The so-called largest-scale devil's game is nothing but a DM system with its ferocious fangs bared, a complete deception called the time of reunion.
"Fortunately, the conspiracy of the DM system scammers was exposed in the first season. With the cooperation of Xuedie and Saotome Rin, the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau will no longer allow anyone to register to enter the Devil Game a second time. Players from unofficial organizations who have already entered the Devil Game will be accompanied by law enforcers who have also entered the Devil Game at any time. As long as there is no demon king-level incident, the probability of safety has been greatly improved."
You Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes never left the people whose beds had pixel blocks.
"There's something else that I care about more."
You Yu's voice was unusually serious: "Wonder... That guy, he returned the stolen Kusanagi sword yesterday. Just like the Heart of Night before, the Ten Commandments symbol on it has disappeared... I suddenly thought that the soul particles of that guy seem to be red and blue pixels."
At this moment, Youyu's voice sounded a bit like the dubbing of a horror novel in the quiet hospital corridor.
"It's exactly the same as the DM system."
"To be honest, I don't find it strange that Wonder has anything abnormal. We stayed at the hospital for such a long time last night, and Lin was only here to visit Xuedie and Baiye who came to the hospital for a physical checkup. I didn't expect that he could steal everything. This guy did exactly as he said, like an astrologer who knew what would happen next, and stayed at the hospital first... Wonder... The word itself is a synonym for the impossible. To be honest, if you tell me now that he is the DM system, I will believe it."
Linglan adjusted her skirt irritably, her movements obviously absent-minded. To be honest, it was okay once or twice, but it happened again and again. Even though she was not very competitive, she still felt something was stuck in her throat.
How did this thief Wonder manage to perfectly avoid the trap she set outside the hospital? !
In fact, it was not the prophet who ran to the hospital to guard it, but Bai Ye who was kept in the hospital by the Squid Detective Agency: ...I dare not speak.
"Maybe... before the Yedao incident, that guy told me to be careful of fireworks. Now it seems that the fireworks should refer to Tang Hongshan, who is on the verge of an explosion due to the influence of the Dusk Fire Demon King. He was right. The few reminders in Huangquan Town were also crucial. It can almost be said that without him, we would never be able to prevent the resurrection of the Dusk Fire Demon King this time."
You Yu's tone became heavier and heavier. Countless broken clues were placed in front of him. The strange yet familiar sense of fragmentation from fate enveloped him again. He knew that the clues of fate were there, but he could not catch even a word.
"Perhaps for Wonder, the resurrection of the Demon King is the only condition for him to steal Ame-Kurokumo from Huangquan Town and escape unscathed. I can understand this. Facing a powerful enemy of the Demon King level, Wonder's choice is normal."
Shuise spoke with gritted teeth. His obsession with Wonder had already made the other three people around him terrified.
Bai Ye spread his hands. In order not to appear suspicious by being too silent, he finally spoke in this conversation: "I think... we should pay attention to the next clues, the two clues about the Ten Rings Tokens from Mo City. There has been very little information about the Ten Rings Tokens over the years. After the conspiracy of the DM system was exposed, two of them suddenly appeared in Mo City, one of the most remote urban areas. Don't you think it's strange?"
The people from the Squid Detective Agency looked at each other, all revealing tired and helpless expressions.
"There's nothing I can do. The situation is getting worse and worse. Even if it's for those people..."
You Yu turned around and gently brushed his fingers across the glass wall behind him, his expression becoming firm: "We must also collect the Ten Commandments as soon as possible and put an end to this."
"No matter what is waiting for us ahead."
There was darkness in his eyes, and although he was looking at the glass, his gaze was fixed on the shadow reflected on the glass in the white night.
**
The next day, the daily train route from Yedao to Mo City.
The two clues about the Ten Commandments token were very time-sensitive. After Bai Ye's body was confirmed to be safe, the Squid Detective Agency hurriedly booked a ticket and sat on the daily train that flew over the short sea of Night Island and rushed to the remote city circle on the other side of the ocean. You Yu was the first to click on the flashing [Bacchus Space] on his player panel.
If the next demonic game they are destined to encounter is the one related to the Ten Commandments Token, they will definitely be able to find relevant clues in the Dionysus Space just like in Huangquan Town.
Although he didn't believe that the DM system would be so kind, Youyu always believed in his luck.
After confirmation, the red and blue pixel blocks enveloped the people on the Zhuri train. The next second, after a brief feeling of spatial dizziness, Bai Ye saw new prompt information during the loading process of the game space before his vision became completely clear.
【Dionysus Space Information:
Instance Name: Mictlantcutley
Instance type: Escape
The underworld in the ancient mythology of the City of Ink. It is said that after passing through the end of the Land of Death on the ninth level of the Crystal Road, the soul can obtain true eternal life. 】
Countless amounts of blood covered the entire field of vision. The moment his sensory perception returned, the first thing Bai Ye felt was the smell of blood so strong that it made it difficult to breathe.
He opened his eyes and saw an abandoned huge building made of giant stones hidden deep in the jungle in the dark night. Faint oil lamps hung on the trees, casting beams of light. In the depths of the jungle, he could vaguely hear the roars and screams of terrifying monsters.
The turquoise fireflies flickered in the dark, reminding Bai Ye of the ghost orchid vines of the same color as lily of the valley. His gaze rested on the feathered serpent statue carved in front of the huge temple-like building in front of him, his eyes full of seriousness and solemnity.
The huge building in front of us is obviously...
The temple of the feathered serpent Miteklan, the master of all-good death, which was once the folk belief of the City of Ink.
It is also a plot location that is unforgettable for You Yu.
There is no need to review the auxiliary future fragments given in the updated [Road of Destiny Exploration], Bai Ye clearly knows the plot fragments of Ink City. At least he will never forget the plot of this temple, because this is the most important turning point in Youyu's mood - the place where one of his most important companions, Linglan, died.
The confrontation between t173 and the DM system has caused the former to enter a stagnant state. Even Bai Ye can no longer click on the road of destiny exploration. This is probably because the data between the systems affect each other and it takes a certain amount of time to repair.
But even so, Bai Ye could confirm that Suzuran's death was definitely related to the devil apostle and the demon king.
After all, Youyu's destiny is to collect the Ten Commandments tokens, defeat the four demon kings, and win the final victory.
The surrounding environment was filled with a thin layer of white mist. Under the hazy fog, the shadows of the tall, moss-covered stone buildings in the dark seemed even more terrifying. Bai Ye looked around tentatively, trying to find some clues about the demons that were pursuing him in this game space, but there was nothing except the whispering of wild beasts coming from the depths of the jungle in the distance.
Bai Ye opened his player panel and tried to see the comments on other people in the barrage to infer their respective positions, but the location where the barrage was originally displayed only had one sentence.
【Data not connected, please try again later. 】
Bai Ye: 666... I don’t even want to act anymore DM.
"It seems... I have no choice but to go in and find out what's going on."
There was no barrage. Bai Ye wandered around and observed for a moment, and finally chose to take the oil lamp from the branch. He walked into the huge dark temple complex accompanied by the flickering fireflies.
The entire building complex in front of him had a very distinctive ancient Mo City style. It was built entirely of huge stones. The most conspicuous giant temple at the end of the complex even had a pyramid-like conical structure. The murals inside and the stone carvings in front of the door were full of feathered serpent elements.
Next to Bai Ye's position was a tall hall, which was a certain distance away from the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid Temple at the end. The moment he walked into the hall and wanted to light the surrounding fire platforms with the oil lamp in his hand, the diffuse fog receded, and the firewood and lamp oil on the stone fire platforms on both sides of the corridor automatically ignited. Countless flames accompanied by the sound of wind extended from a distant direction to Bai Ye's front. The roar of a huge monster full of pain came from the direction of the Quetzalcoatl Temple, piercing everyone's eardrums deeply.
"white night?"
The light first came on the opposite side. It was the reflection of the oil lamp light shining on the sharp metal mist. You Yu stood at the end of the corridor holding his peculiarly curved and slender sword, looking at the white night opposite in surprise.
"I was scared to death, it turned out to be you, Bai Ye."
The sword in Youyu's hand disappeared and was put back into the player panel. He breathed a sigh of relief and ran to Bai Ye at a high speed, but the panic on his face still did not fade away.
"Bai Ye, something bad has happened! Come with me quickly, you are the only one who can help us now—"
You Yu grabbed Bai Ye's wrist, pulled him up and rushed to the end of the corridor, his voice full of undisguised anxiety.
"Lily of the Valley is missing!"
