Ending (Part 2)
Xu Wei pushed open the door of the purification cabin and rushed towards the Judgment Hotel.
The black energy on the road swept towards her, desperately drilling into her body. Gradually, she began to struggle. But she couldn't care about anything else, or rather, the pain she was suffering now was nothing compared to Mao Ting.
"Ye Yan and the others can't stop the dark cloud. Once it descends on the dungeon, it will soon launch a general attack on the Judgment City. Our defense system has been breached. Of course, this is still within the plan."
Xu Wei arrived at the Judgment Hotel and began to dig the ruins like crazy.
"At the moment when the dark cloud launched the attack, I used the highest authority to teleport all the surviving creatures on Earth, including those that were still sleeping, to the copy world. Now, it is the highest level of purification of the dark cloud by all mankind since the start of the Judgment Game. This will definitely slow down his pace of attacking the Judgment City, but it is far from enough."
"We have to kill it once and for all."
The black air became thicker and thicker, and countless sharp and noisy whispers came from all directions. Xu Wei's eyeballs were gradually covered with a layer of black mist, and her hands and feet moved slower and slower until she touched the familiar glass material again.
Another purification chamber.
[Authorization being granted——Unlocked successfully. 】
The purification cabin was opened, and Manager Huang Qiuren lay peacefully at the bottom of the cabin, holding a red key in his folded hands.
"Fuxi has long since collapsed, but she is willing to use her remaining consciousness to make a final effort for interstellar civilization. Xu Wei, take this key. The hidden Second Law is hidden here."
Xu Wei picked up the key and inserted it into the keyhole that appeared on the bracelet. The black air around him rushed towards the key, as if to destroy it immediately.
"This is the first thing I ask of you."
[Encryption program unlocked successfully, global broadcast started, administrator's speech countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1——]
At the same time, in the dungeon, the billions of creatures on Earth that were suddenly being slaughtered by the monsters looked up at the sky as if they had sensed something. Whether it was the newcomers who were trying to figure out the level or the old players who were wondering why they were suddenly teleported, they could clearly hear a woman's trembling declaration.
Xu Wei's voice seemed to overlap with Mao Ting's voice in the purification chamber:
"Dear fellow Earthlings, I am Xu Wei, the president of 7865. I regret to inform you that Earth has reached a critical moment of life and death. Next, I will transmit the message of the Judgment Game and the creator behind it - the interstellar civilization - to your consciousness in the form of an information stream."
She paused for a moment, as if she was operating something, and just milliseconds after the information was successfully transmitted, the players in the copy went wild.
"What? Aliens? Want to eat the Earth?!"
"Is this believable? It's not a lie, is it? They are colluding with this game to make us die."
"No, we have to die no matter what. Didn't the news say that the dark clouds are about to swallow the earth? Even if it's true, what's the use? We have to wait to die whether we believe it or not?"
"7865, isn't this the organization that was so powerful when Judgment City was attacked last time? Their president is a woman. Look at her photo. She is ranked first on the list of the most intimidating organizations. I remember that they are a very powerful organization."
"Yes, and he even helped us clean up the area."
Xu Wei couldn't hear those voices. She waited for people to digest the information, took a long breath, and announced slowly and clearly with a solemn expression:
"As the current highest authority holder of the Judgment System and the acting mayor of Judgment City, I hereby announce to fellow players around the world who are still struggling in dungeons - the second law of the Judgment Game is now unlocked."
"The final chapter of the game is now open. All players are requested to kill dungeon creatures and clear dungeons in any way, regardless of casualties or survival costs. If the total value of clearing dungeons worldwide reaches the set value within 10 dungeon hours, the game will be cleared and all players who died temporarily due to clearing dungeons will be resurrected. If the set value is not reached within the time limit, the game will fail and the Earth... will be destroyed."
"Countdown begins, current setting value: 1370137."
The shock of the Second Law being unsealed was shocking, and the instance setting value dropped sharply almost immediately after it was unsealed. However, the total number of players alive on the administrator panel also dropped sharply.
She touched her ear, as if there was a non-existent headset there: "Are you sure you want to turn on the friendly mode of the dungeon? Can you handle a head-on confrontation this early?"
There was a commotion from the other end, and then a weak voice answered, "Open it, and let him point his spear at me."
Xu Wei hesitated for only a moment before quickly turning on the player-friendly mode on the panel.
"Mao-cho," she said, "thank you."
*
Xu Wei walked among the ruins, knife in hand, heading towards the Player Night Market, following the direction of his memory.
The place no longer resembles its original appearance. The long street has fallen apart, with only a few tattered shop signs hanging on the broken walls.
She walked for a long time, her footsteps passing a sign that was cracked in two, sawdust flying everywhere due to her presence.
Xu Wei stopped, took out Fu Fenglou's knife from his bag, picked it up with one hand, touched the ground with the tip of the knife, and continued walking forward.
The original dead silence was broken by the sharp sound of the knife tip scratching the ground, and the culprit seemed to be aimless, just wandering around the area of the player night market like a ghost, roaming in the deserted ruins.
I don't know how many times I swayed, but finally a voice came from behind me.
"Good evening."
Xu Wei turned around slowly.
Li Xia came at some point and was standing behind her, as if she had been watching her wandering around for a long time.
He smiled: "Looking for me?"
She was not surprised, but looked him up and down and asked, "Why are you here?"
Li Xia pretended to sigh: "I saw you going back and forth, and I thought you were looking for me, but it turns out you were looking for someone else?"
Xu Wei ignored him and found a relatively intact step nearby. He dusted off the dust and sat down. He then called him, "I'm really tired these days. Come and sit for a while."
Li Xia had no objection, so she sat down next to him and sighed, "When will it end?"
"Yeah," Xu Wei placed Fu Fenglou's knife on his leg and rubbed the blade with his fingers - now it was as smooth as new, "I don't know how Ye Yan and the others fought. How did you get out?"
Li Xia: "I have a lot of props, otherwise how could I dare to let you go to the broadcasting room first? You have to hold on to your thighs tightly."
Xu Wei wiped the knife and smiled: "Lu Fanye really thought you were dead, I don't know how sad he was. So, you are really the sixth priest?"
Li Xia rolled her eyes. "You're asking even though you know the answer. I'm turning from evil to good. Besides, have I ever hurt you?"
Xu Wei did not comment: "I don't know what to do right now, so tell me and you can teach me."
"Our Church? That's the former Church! What I am truly loyal to now is the great and most intimidating organization, 7865!" He retorted, clenching his fists in an exaggerated manner, "What do you want to know? Your loyal subordinates will definitely tell you everything they know and will definitely let you know the good news, President."
Xu Wei didn't bother to pay attention to his pretense: "Let me tell you about the origin first."
"That's true," he said. "Remember that big change in the union list?"
Xu Wei: "You mean... the former top-ranked Lieyang? The one that many organizations disbanded along with them more than two months ago?"
"That's right."
"I've only been in the game for a short time and I've only heard about it." Xu Wei said.
Li Xia spoke in a gentle tone, as if telling a story: "Before Lieyang topped the list, there was another guild that had been at the top for a long time. Its name was Jingyan. This guild was jointly managed by a pair of sisters and an old man. It is said that the old man was the housekeeper who raised the two sisters since they were young."
"The elder sister is resourceful and resourceful. She planned the establishment of the organization. The younger sister was a well-known super-submersible player at the time. She served as a military representative to pave the way for her sister's plan. The elder, who looks elegant and calm, is responsible for implementing the plan externally."
"Trinity, a perfect combination, isn't it? Unfortunately," he sighed, "the atmosphere in the game at that time was extremely unfriendly to prop masters. People with special abilities were always superior to us. The sister's strong force exacerbated the stereotypes of the players, and the elder sister happened to be a prop master. She was behind the scenes among the three, and gradually became unwilling to accept this and wanted to clear the name of prop masters."
"So, she left Jingyan with her deputy and founded Lieyang. After Lieyang became the top of the organization, she became the most powerful prop master at the time, justifying her profession. From then on, prop masters were no longer supporting roles."
Xu Wei was not surprised at all: "Jingyan is the later player Yeshi, Yeyan is the younger sister in the story, and her sister Ye Jing is the president of Lieyang, right?"
Li Xia was surprised: "You know so much?"
Xu Wei shrugged: "It's just an inference, continue."
"Although Ye Jing separated from Jing Yan, she did not lose contact with her sister and the housekeeper. So one day, Ye Yan entered the dungeon early due to something and missed the old housekeeper. Ye Jing invited the old housekeeper to enter the dungeon together. It was at this time that an accident happened. Ye Jing and the housekeeper died, and Lieyang was disbanded."
"For so many years, Ye Yan still didn't believe that her sister was dead and was still looking for her."
Xu Wei said: "So, what did you do at that time?"
Li Xia rolled his eyes again: "I already said we were the former sect, don't keep calling you guys names, we are on the same side! I don't know the details, I just know that some members of Lieyang were corrupted before this accident, they were the original sect members, so the subsequent accidents were probably also caused by them."
Xu Wei: "Where's the deputy?"
"Deputy?" Li Xia was stunned.
"Didn't you say that when Ye Jing left the organization, he took his deputy with him? He must have become a minor official, right?"
Li Xia thought for a moment: "It seems that there is such a person. He should have become the second in command of Lieyang, and then disappeared."
"What's your name?"
"Zhao Yuan."
