It says: "You are just the one who happened to be chosen and unexpectedly tenacious. Countless factors in the past and future have shaped our choice."
Xu Wei scratched his head in pain: "What's going on? Why are you using the same trick again? Can you give me a quick death? I really can't guess."
She frowned: "Don't tell me what time it is again. From today on, I hate time."
It stopped talking.
"Haha, we are all Riddlers," Xu Wei raised his head and lay on the floor, moving his limbs. Even though his body was still in pain, he insisted on moving. "That's it, let's just die."
"Your spirit is seriously polluted and needs to be purified urgently."
Xu Wei gave a thumbs up to the air: "Wow, you even know about purification. You know a lot by following me!"
It repeats: "That is just the form in which I exist beside you, please do not delve too much into it."
Xu Wei raised his eyebrows: "You mean even if you are a creature like you, if you want to observe someone all the time, you still have to find something to rely on?"
No wonder the male voice shrank into her radio gymnastics. It only appeared during aerobics. I thought it was because he was observing so many humans at the same time that he was unable to split himself.
So in other words, is this also true for dark clouds?
It seemed that it had never shown its true form in the past, and this time it seemed to have only placed a part of its power on Zhou Ze, otherwise she would not have been able to recover just by lying down for a while.
Is this the reason why every time Wuyun wants to kill her, he can only delay time and exploit the rules of the copy?
It seems that it does not want to answer the question: "It is easy to create a form of attachment."
Xu Wei tried to figure out its meaning.
There is no denying that if higher-dimensional creatures want to observe lower-level species up close, they do need a form of existence.
So when they want to influence the lower world, do they also have to interfere through this form of dependence?
For example, the male voice performing gymnastics casually paused time in the underground palace of Escape from Paradise. If she had played another song at that time, would he still be able to do the same?
If this assumption is true, then as long as we find the medium that brought the dark cloud to her side, then we won't have to worry about it attacking us again in the future, right?
She immediately asked: "What is the medium of the dark clouds over me?"
It answered quickly: "In the novice copy, it planted a seed in you, but because of the fear of failure, it exploded prematurely and pulled you into this world. Don't worry, after this time, its medium will be completely ineffective."
Xu Wei heard a hint of pride in its cold tone.
She wondered, "But I turned off my little companion, why did you show up?"
"The talent of the dark clouds is to devour and expand. The talent of the male voice race you mentioned is a long lifespan. There is gain and loss. They are not good at creating more dependent existences. And I don't belong to any species you know. I was born out of complexity and contradiction, and I am born with various abilities."
Its tone became more and more proud, and Xu Wei wanted to laugh: "Since you are so powerful, why don't you fight against the dark cloud directly?"
Even the way of helping is so roundabout.
The other party was silent for a long time, and after a while, he uttered: "There is gain and loss."
As if to save the situation, it ignored her and said to itself: "Before sending you back, I need to confirm four conditions with you."
When he heard that he could go back, Xu Wei sat up with a plop, grimacing in pain: "Go ahead."
"First, whether your spirit has the initial ability to resist the dark clouds."
"Second, are you able to wield emotional weapons with ease?"
"Third, do you firmly believe that humanity will eventually triumph in this battle?"
"fourth--"
It pauses.
"Can you finally lead humanity to victory?"
The last sentence.
Xu Wei's eyes widened. Before he could even ask himself the questions in his mind, the childish voice announced in a very serious and solemn tone:
"Now, the final condition test begins."
Just a brief moment.
The dazzlingly white empty space suddenly distorted, and overwhelming whispers and pressure came from all directions. The creature hidden deep in this white space seemed to have finally revealed part of its true appearance from a corner of time and space.
It was huge, indescribable, untouchable, and impossible to look directly at. It was like an eye that suddenly opened in deep space and blocked out the sun. Just a small part of it was enough to bring the puny human entity in front of it to the brink of collapse.
Xu Wei saw nothing, and yet saw everything.
Compared to the voice she heard with her back to the dark clouds, at this moment, she seemed to be suspended above the planet, exposing her entire body to the other party's gaze. Her lips cracked one by one without any warning at this moment, and her spirit disintegrated inch by inch helplessly in the face of the vast external force like a mountain.
Then, her consciousness faded.
＊
Transfer station.
Unprecedented darkness was encroaching on the Judgment City. The blue sky that was once far away collapsed, sediments were deposited on the top of the head, the tops of the towering buildings were eaten away by the sky, and even the Judgment Hotel was not spared.
There were ruins everywhere. The once prosperous streets were completely destroyed. The corpses of monsters were exposed on the bare foundations. Crowds of people were hurriedly carrying the wounded back and forth on the roads.
There are still some remaining monsters that have not been eliminated and are still wreaking havoc in some blocks. Spontaneously organized groups of players are using various props and skills to attack them.
"Quick, there's another contaminated one here, send it to the city hall!"
"Should we tell the city lord that the north has been cleared?"
"Team B, count the number of missing persons, and remember to exclude non-team members in the area."
Although the city is chaotic, it is orderly. Players seem to be bound by some rules. Even though they can use skills and props, they never fight in the chaos.
"Ding Dong Dong, Ding Dong..." The melodious music resounded in the sky.
Everyone looked up at the same time.
The long-lost mechanical sound.
[City Lord's Notice - Player organization 7-8-6-5 completed the cleanup of the high-pollution risk area in the east, and the system rewarded the organization's level upgrade. ]
"It's them again. Who are the people in this organization? Three highly polluted areas have been eliminated in a row."
"Haven't you heard? There are not many big guys staying at the transit station this time. They are all going to the dungeon. It's just right for them to take advantage of this opportunity."
"Picking up leaks? Can you go to a highly polluted area to pick up leaks? I have the ability to do that."
"Will it be the next 'leap'?"
"Oh, Yue is so miserable. Who knew this would happen?"
The players were talking among themselves as they cleaned up the battlefield, and became more alert to the strange players passing by.
High pollution risk area in the east.
"Are you okay?" Zhang Yuan pulled Dajiu away, and seeing that he looked dazed, he hurriedly asked Xiaojiu to take him to the City Hall.
Shaya held a black bow in her hand and squinted her eyes to aim at a large black bird flying over her head.
The arrow flew through the air with a "whoosh" and hit the black bird accurately, causing it to fall down with a scream.
“Boom!”
In the sand pile not far away, the giant spider that was lying in ambush had its legs chopped off by Fu Fenglou's sword. The sword flashed, and its head fell to the ground, spraying green liquid.
She pointed the knife at the other one hiding in the shadows and said coldly, "Come here."
Li Xia looked at the wreckage of the building above his head with a serious expression. After a moment, he said, "500 meters southeast."
Li Xia immediately operated the remote control buttons in his hand.
Five hundred meters away, a three-meter-tall mecha quickly arrived and punched through the belly of the ambushing monster.
"Good uppercut!" The two men high-fived excitedly.
The contaminated area is in the west.
"Ahhhh Shali!!"
"Stop hitting me, or you'll turn into a snake demon again!" Corey followed the violent Shali in panic. Seeing that she was unwilling to obey, he rushed over and hugged her thighs, shouting to the other side, "Shaya! Come and help me, I can't control Shali!"
Shaya ran over and saw a commotion going on there.
After Zhang Yuan dealt with the remaining monsters in his area of responsibility, he frowned and looked behind him.
Lu Fanye and Qi Xiaopei have not returned yet.
When the transit station incident occurred, all the members of the organization happened to not enter the copy, and were called by Li Xia to eat hot pot at home. Therefore, they did not separate even when fighting against the monsters that appeared.
Except Xu Wei.
She went to the Player Night Market alone, and there was no news from her since then, not even a reply to the message on her bracelet.
Coincidentally, at this time, the number one organization "Yue" was massacred inside the transfer station by an unknown force. The force was so rampant that they wore uniform black windbreaker uniforms to hunt down Yue's members, and later developed to slaughter all the players they met.
Everyone had to act as a team. There were monsters wreaking havoc outside, and sneak attacks from their own people inside. The entire transit station was in chaos with attacks from both sides.
Fortunately, someone stood up soon.
An hour after the attack, electronic music sounded from the sky. What followed the electronic music was not the mechanical sound that players were accustomed to, but the kind and natural voice of a lady.
"Dear players, please pay attention. I repeat, all players who have the ability to think and act, please pay attention--"
Even in the current crisis situation, she is extremely calm and rational.
"I am Chu Xunxi, player number CXX1129, and I am now sending a notice to all players at the transfer station."
"I have taken over the position of Lord of Judgment City. I have been responsible for the city's infrastructure construction tasks for a long time, and I have now obtained most of the city's management rights."
"Now, I use the system message received by the Lord of Judgment City as evidence to inform all players in the city - Judgment City is experiencing an unprecedented severe pollution crisis. The system is already under load and cannot handle too many monsters. If the pollution in the city is not cleared as soon as possible, Judgment City will collapse in five days, the Judgment Game will automatically fail, and the Earth civilization will be destroyed."
She paused for a moment, giving the busy players time to digest the information.
"Here, on behalf of my fellow players who are still in the dungeon and all the staff in the city, I would like to ask for help from you—"
"Whether it's for the sake of your family and friends who haven't woken up yet, your compatriots who are still struggling in the dungeon, or your own life and property, please help the system clean up the polluted monsters and rebuild the Judgment City."
After that, a long-term task and contribution point system called [Rebuilding the City of Judgment] was updated on the system panels of all players. The contribution points obtained by killing monsters can be exchanged for corresponding supplies and props in the mall.
The second floor of the City Hall became the mayor's office. Compared to the somewhat cold interstellar creatures, the players clearly preferred this kind-looking and efficient compatriot. Almost all the organization presidents who were still in the transit station went there to register and carry out cleanup activities as an organization.
Zhang Yuan is one of the vice presidents of 7865. After failing to find Xu Wei for a while, she also added her own organization to the cleanup team.
If the game fails, no one will survive.
Today is the fifth day of the cleanup, and also the fifth day since Xu Wei went missing. The players have united as never before, and have cleaned up almost all of the areas, with only a few high-pollution risk areas remaining.
Lu Fanye returned to the City Hall when the area he was responsible for was almost cleaned up. It was said that Mao Cheng had found traces of Xu Wei.
Qi Xiaopei rushed to support partners in other areas.
It was already the fifth day, and Zhang Yuan was worried that Xu Wei might encounter an accident at the Player Night Market. The worst case scenario was that he encountered an unknown force before everyone else.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Jiu came hurriedly: "Found it! Xu Wei was found!"
"She fainted in front of the city hall for no apparent reason, shocking everyone."
