Chapter 236
The day after the Dark God took over the world, everything was in chaos.
As long as the player breaks the Easter egg, there is a chance that the dark matter hidden inside will be released.
These dark matter types vary, and most of them are derivatives of NPCs in the eight major card fields. The higher the level, the more dangerous it is.
In fact, the release of these dark matter does not pose any threat to other players as long as the player who releases it does not die.
This means that the released dark matter will only want to kill the person who breaks the egg.
And this type of people are given a special name by players, Pandora.
As long as the Pandora that released them survives, they will not attack other players, and will not resist even if attacked by others.
Pandora, who was entangled by them, could not get rid of them unless she killed them with her own hands, even with the help of others.
Once all dark matter is released, it will be captured and recorded in the Dark Matter Atlas within three minutes.
These dark matter will only be in two states, one is called the release period, and the other is called the public display period.
If Pandora, who released them, is not dead, they will always have a name and will be in a relatively safe release period.
But if Pandora, who released them, dies, they will immediately enter the public announcement period and will indiscriminately slaughter and attack all players.
Dark matter in the release period can be killed and eliminated, but dark matter in the public disclosure period, at a level above level three, cannot be killed.
They exist forever with darkness, immortal and indestructible.
This means that on this day, the relationship between players underwent a drastic change.
They are no longer so-called competitors, nor are they opposites of each other.
If necessary, they will lend a hand during the escape and help the Pandora player temporarily escape the pursuit of dark matter.
Because if they don't do this, once dark matter enters the public disclosure period, their lives will be threatened.
After learning about these things, Yitu didn't dare to stay in Area C any longer.
There are a lot of second-level players in Area C, most of whom were the first to knock on the Easter eggs in the dark without knowing the new rules of the game.
This has resulted in an astonishing amount of dark matter being released from Area C, two-thirds of which is already in an irreversible public disclosure period.
Although the level of these dark matter in the public announcement period is not high, most of them are at level three and below. It is not difficult for Yitu to kill them.
But even so, more than ten immortal monsters appeared in Area C, all of which were at level two or above.
After witnessing a level 3 player being surrounded and attacked to death by them, Yitu immediately set off for Area B without any hesitation.
Although he is proud, he has always been self-aware.
Area C will soon become a slaughterhouse for high-level monsters, and the probability of being trapped to death here is 90%.
In particular, one of the first-level dark matter has the ability to create dead space.
So far, it has blocked several gates to Area B, and the few paths that can still be used are already filled with monsters that are in the public display period.
Yitu just hopes that his luck is not too bad, and that there is no dark matter of level two or above guarding the road he chooses.
Because the Easter eggs belong to different areas, the dark matter born from them also has a fixed area.
Monsters in Area C cannot cross the boundary of Area B, but players can easily cross it.
When the amount of dark matter was not so large, a player at the edge of the boundary between the two areas cleverly discovered this.
As a result, many players were lucky enough to escape the disaster.
However, Yitu's luck has always been average. He is in the upper middle of Area C, some distance away from Area B.
Although the journey is long, the only thing to be thankful for is that the gate closest to Yitu, entering Area B, is not blocked by chalk.
Cretaceous is a first-level monster that can only create dead space. The dead space it creates is not a specific object, but a layer of white gauze covering a certain area or path.
Once someone accidentally enters the dead space, they will be trapped there forever.
Because of this powerful ability, every time Cretaceous creates a dead space, it consumes a white feather on its neck.
So far, the dead space in Area C has not increased, which means that the ability of Cretaceous has reached its limit.
After Yitu had mastered all the information, he immediately set out along the path he had chosen.
There are only three sections of road that are not blocked by chalk: one in the southeast, one in the southwest, and one on the west side.
The one directly west was too far from Yitu and spanned too much of the main urban area, so it was not even within his consideration.
The remaining two routes, southeast and north-south, each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The former is closer to Yitu, but this also means that the road section is too simple. As long as one of the roads is blocked, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
Although the latter route is more circuitous, the road sections are well connected and if one section is blocked, the section can be changed immediately.
In contrast, Yitu chose the latter.
In fact, no matter which of these two paths you choose, you are racing against time and luck.
Yitu was still too cautious and chose the more stable one.
Half an hour later, Yitu arrived at the Third Red Square Middle School.
This middle school is the intersection of two gates. Going east is the closer one, and going west is the more complicated one.
Yitu didn't plan to enter the school. This kind of enclosed place may seem hidden, but it is actually the place where deaths are most likely to happen, and many ghosts like to hide there.
Yitu glanced at the entrance of the Third Red Square Middle School. The anti-collision guardrail had been flattened by something huge, so that anyone could enter easily.
The guard room nearby was in great chaos, with the broken glass windows splashed with glaring red.
At this moment, there are shadowy figures on campus, and they should be moving quickly.
Yitu only took a quick look and prepared to leave when he noticed something approaching.
At this moment, a sharp wail suddenly broke out in the garden.
Yitu remained indifferent until the man called out a familiar name and he stopped in his tracks.
"Master Xing! Master Xing, please save me! Please save me! I don't want to die! Ah——"
Is this the person he knows?
Yitu looked around. The noise had already attracted the surrounding monsters. After thinking about it, he stepped in.
Xing Yue stood on the hollow corridor between the two buildings. The wind blew up his cloak hood, revealing a tired face.
"Captain, you can't save him." The man standing next to him said in a deep voice:
"Let's get out of here as soon as possible, it will be too late if we don't leave now!"
Another person echoed, "Yes, Captain, it was Fan Xinyu who brought this upon himself. You've done all you can!"
Only the girl standing on Xing Yue's right did not speak, but her eyes were red and her expression was sad.
A huge black shadow loomed over the head, and the dark matter that had just been released had not yet had time to reveal its original form.
But Xing Yue knew that with such a huge body, its level could not be lower than level three.
Fan Xinyu rushed up from a teaching building, but was kicked away by Tan Xiao as soon as he got close, and hit the guardrail hard.
"Fan Xinyu, how can you be so mean!" Tan Xiao cursed angrily:
"The captain has told you ten thousand times not to open the Easter eggs! Don't open the Easter eggs! Are you deaf or crazy?"
"The thing you released hasn't been classified yet. If it's second-level dark matter, hehe..."
"Wait for death!"
Fan Xinyu's face was pale. He looked at Xing Yue who was standing there without saying a word, and almost choked with sobs:
"Captain, I really didn't mean it. I really didn't..."
"The bathroom was so dark, I didn't even notice there was an Easter egg on the sink. It just fell from above. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence!"
"Bullshit! It's already this time and you're still lying!" Zhang Hongyuan's roar scared Fan Xinyu so much that he trembled all over.
At this moment, a familiar beeping sound came from everyone's dark matter public atlas.
[Ding ding ding! Level 2 Eight-eyed Devil Spider has been released! ]
After hearing the report at this level, Fan Xinyu was completely dumbfounded.
He never expected that his luck would be so bad this time. Not only did the Easter egg he opened not contain the Easter egg coins he wanted, but the level of dark matter released was also so high.
Why is this happening? Clearly... he is only three Easter coins away from reaching level three, why are you treating him like this!
At the moment when Fan Xinyu was stunned, a huge spider leg poked through the hollow corridor. The devil spider lay on the teaching building, and the silk thread sprayed from its mouth accurately wrapped up Pandora who released it and pulled it back.
Tan Xiao and his companions had just steadied themselves and landed on the ground. When they looked up, Fan Xinyu was gone.
Only Xing Yue was still standing on the destroyed building, holding the broken Mirror of Illusion, trying to undo the mistake made by Fan Xinyu.
"Captain!" Zhang Hongyuan shouted anxiously. Looking around, he saw more and more dark matter pouring into the campus.
Xing Yue turned a deaf ear and just shouted to Cao Shiyi who was standing below:
"Shiyi, come and help me!"
Cao Shiyi nodded quickly and, with the help of Tan Xiao, climbed to another floor of the teaching building.
Fan Xinyu was wrapped in sticky spider silk and fixed on the abdomen of the thing. The devil spider's feeding cavity was also located there.
Cao Shiyi didn't dare look back. Her feet were already several meters off the ground. She gritted her teeth and climbed up another ten meters in one breath.
Stopping close enough to the devil spider, Cao Shiyi's hands, which were touching the building, began to glow blue, and the temperature around them also dropped sharply.
The spider silk was too tough. Even though Xing Yue attracted most of the devil spider's attention, Tan Xiao and others could not break it.
Until Cao Shiyi's coldness climbed up the limbs of the devil spider and spread along the limbs to the bulging abdomen.
The two people who had been waiting under the abdomen endured the nausea and smashed the spider eggs that had been frozen solid.
After breaking more than a dozen basketball-sized testicles, the two men finally saw Fan Xinyu wrapped in the entrance to the feeding cavity.
"Damn it! This beast might as well die!" Zhang Hongyuan was furious.
Tan Xiao gave a bitter laugh, "If he dies, what will happen to this second-level monster?"
"Brother Hongyuan, you guys need to hurry up!" Cao Shiyi urged from the other side:
"If we wait any longer, Brother Xinyu will freeze to death in there!"
Hearing this, the two stopped talking nonsense and tried their best to break the spider silk on Fan Xinyu's body and drag him out.
Only after they landed safely did Cao Shiyi take back Binghan.
As soon as Fan Xinyu woke up, he found that his thighs had been dissolved by the spider's venom and there was nothing left.
He screamed in fear, but Xing Yue stuffed the devil spider into the Mirror of Illusion before it could react.
"Walk!"
At his command, the others followed suit, but it was still a little late.
They have been surrounded by monsters that have entered the campus, and dense red eyes are staring at them darkly.
Cao Shiyi's face turned pale, and the huge spider lying behind them seemed extremely confused because it had lost its target and did not move for a long time.
But these monsters, which were already in the public display period, launched an attack the moment they saw it.
Xing Yue was immediately knocked to the ground by one of them, and the Mirror of Illusion in his hand was thrown to the side.
Originally, this divine weapon could play a perfect restraining role, but now that Fan Xinyu was put in it, it lost its combat function.
Tan Xiao nailed the faceless weasel to the ground and quickly helped Xing Yue up.
However, more and more dark matter continued to rush forward, and an ice wall had formed in front of Cao Shiyi, with countless monsters frozen to death in it.
However, the range that the ice can form is still too small, and there is always smart dark matter that learns to go around it.
Seeing that they might die here and they were at a loss as to what to do, a strong green wind suddenly blew up in the sky.
The strong wind grew stronger and stronger, and soon formed a storm several meters high, sweeping in the surrounding monsters.
Xing Yue was slightly stunned when he saw this scene, until he heard a cold shout:
"Hurry up and leave!"
Only then did they react and quickly left the Third Red Square Middle School.
Ten minutes later, Xing Yue waited for the uninvited guest.
The moment he saw Yi Tu, Xing Yue suddenly didn't know what to say.
Instead, the man looked indifferent and asked him with a smile what he planned to do next.
Xing Yue told Yi Tu that he planned to take his team members along the southeast section of the road and enter Area B.
This was not consistent with Yi Tu's plan. After he mentioned it casually, Xing Yue still rejected his kindness.
"I know the southwest route is safer, but..." Xing Yue smiled bitterly, "My team can't wait that long."
The Mirror of Illusion is a mirror that can copy and release dead objects, and it is also a space that can temporarily store objects.
There is no problem storing dead objects, but living things will suffocate to death if they stay in there for too long.
Xing Yue could only take the shortest route to buy as much time as possible for his teammates.
After hearing this, Yitu stopped forcing it. The two chatted for a few more sentences, exchanged some basic information, and then parted ways.
Looking at the backs of Xing Yue and others as they left, Yi Tu felt a little complicated.
Tan Xiao and his friends were once members of Xing Yue's team, the Madmen, and had followed Xing Yue for the longest time, so much so that even after entering the Easter Egg Game, Xing Yue could not let them go.
As the King of Diamonds, Xing Yue used the Miracle Card to summon them to his side shortly after the game started.
If Xing Yue hadn't looked for them, he might have been able to go further on his own, but everyone has their own choices in the end.
This reminded Yitu of what the Queen of Cubes, Yunyao, had said to him. She said:
Miracles happen everywhere and to everyone who believes in our Lord.
Even though Fan Xinyu made such a big mistake, as long as he called for help from his king, the King of Diamonds would not abandon him.
Although it was so stupid to do so, Xing Yue told Yi Tu.
Fan Xinyu did not stay in the game for the full four years. He entered the Easter Egg Game just to follow his master.
But reality is often cruel, and a person's faith can be destroyed and collapsed at any time.
Xing Yue said that he didn't know whether Fan Xinyu would resent him for this.
He regretted his incompetence, his lack of strength, and his weakness.
Xing Yue said he didn't know.
He just wants to have a clear conscience and he has never owed anyone anything.
After the game is over, if he can go back alive, he wants to visit his hometown.
Even though they knew clearly in their hearts that he could never go back.
However, Xing Yue's hopeful tone made Yi Tu want to find a cigarette to smoke to relieve the depression in his heart.
If there were no such game, Xing Yue would just be a young man in his early twenties. How much would he know about the world?
Yitu told him about the death of Cube Q Yunyao, and there was only silence on Xing Yue's face.
He knew it, but he was powerless to do anything. What was even more unacceptable was that he had witnessed the end of the tragedy with his own eyes.
When Xing Yue left, Yi Tu left the mark of a flying crow on his body.
They walked in two opposite directions, and the road ahead was either bright or endless darkness.
They can only keep going forward for their choice without looking back.
The author has something to say:
I've been wanting to write about Xiao Jiang's appearance, but I haven't been able to write about him for a long time.
He will definitely appear in the next chapter!!!
