[Settlement in progress...]
[Main quest progress 100%]
[Personal mission: Completed]
[Player damage 0%; character exploration 100%]
[Overall score for completing the dungeon - S+ level]
[Click anywhere to claim the clearance reward]
[Congratulations to the player for leveling up! ]
Yu Xi looked at the bright red leveling list given by the system, and suddenly stood up as if she remembered something, and clicked on the friend contact interface.
A friend with a gray avatar was already lying quietly in the list, and his nickname was just a simple "-".
The first game of the competition requires all players who have completed the game to find their own partners, and they will automatically form a friend relationship after successfully forming a team, so this gray avatar should be Leviathan.
However, when Yu Xi tried to send a message to this person, the system popped up an error prompt.
【404 Unknown Error】
Unable to send messages, and unable to see any information about this person, Yu Xi felt that this was a bit too strange.
At this time, the forums in the Infinite World had already exploded.
——[No???]
——[Didn’t they say that System 00 was an unknown error before? Why is his name still on the promotion list now?]
——[…So it’s not an unknown error at all?]
——[The Judgment Hall had said before that this bug would be fixed, but now it’s still…]
——[I counted, and the clearance list is an even number. Is this System 00 really a bug? ]
In the more distant Sea of Gods, many players were scrambling to get in front of the door with their self-introductions in hand. Only with the organization of the Trial Hall did they manage to maintain order.
The players in line began to discuss in a low voice:
"Do you think the rumors are true?"
"...What rumors? The Temple is looking for a family member?"
"There was news before that the Temple is looking for his biological brother this time."
"Haha, then I meet the requirements based on my age."
"Go to hell, how can you be the Temple's brother? If you want to be honest, I am the one, right?"
The Temple had already issued an order before the competition began, requiring the players who registered for the competition in the Trial Hall to find the bug in System 00 and eliminate them directly.
As a result, the first dungeon was over, but no player in the Judgment Hall had ever seen System 00.
As early as the list of players who advanced was announced, other players in the Judgment Hall came to the island anxiously, waiting for the criticism of the Temple. As a result, when they arrived on the island, they saw a large group of players from outside the island, and the Temple was nowhere to be found.
At this time, the Temple had no time to care about the list of players who advanced to the first game, and was even more lazy to deal with System 00.
Because he had to find his brother.
After becoming the Temple, his memory was partially lost. Although he did not forget the past with his brother, he forgot what his brother looked like.
This made it particularly difficult to find someone.
As the Temple thought, he held the photo in his hand tighter, leaving several obvious marks.
His younger brother died in the hospital. When he received the news and rushed over, his younger brother had already stopped breathing.
The photo shows a hospital bed. A thin figure can be vaguely seen curled up in the quilt, but a large stain covers the face in the photo.
Shendian changed his posture and listened to another report from the outside, followed by the appearance of the second registrant player.
In front of Shendian was a layer of transparent special glass. He could see the actions of the people outside, but the players outside could not see the situation inside.
With just one glance, Shendian knew that this person was not his younger brother either.
His younger brother was not like this.
He did not remember his younger brother's name, nor did he know what he looked like, but he was impressed by his younger brother's personality and even his movements and expressions.
His younger brother was very good-looking, but his personality was too simple. He had been worried about this for a long time.
Originally, after his brother died in the real world, the temple only vaguely guessed that his brother would appear in the infinite world. It was not until Bian Shicheng found his last soul fragment that the temple was sure that his brother was in the infinite world.
The soul fragment was also damaged, and like him, he could not see his brother's face clearly, nor could he remember his brother's name.
But it doesn't matter.
The temple listened casually to a person going down outside, and then a player came up and excitedly expressed his "feelings of missing" to him.
His brother must not be among this group of people.
The temple closed his eyes, and his palms tightened when he thought of the situation he saw through the soul fragment.
The brother he held in his heart was bullied by so many people, but he couldn't even find him until now.
The temple's eyes were dim, and his attention was not on the outside at all, "Contact Bian Shicheng."
System 01 flashed a blue light, [Received. 】
A few crisp beeping sounds were heard, followed by a "click" sound from the opposite side, and a blue screen was projected in front of the temple, revealing the face of Bian Shicheng.
Bian Shicheng could only see the golden hood of the temple, which cast a faint shadow under the projection.
"Did you get the fragments in the dungeon yourself?"
Bian Shicheng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the temple was talking about the school dungeon that he and Yu Xi had entered a long time ago.
"Yes," Bian Shicheng explained, "...it was also a coincidence that I just found a bug in the dungeon."
As he answered, he couldn't help but secretly wonder why the temple suddenly brought up this matter.
Is there something wrong with the fragment?
But before Bian Shicheng had time to think about it, Shendian continued: "Did you meet a player in the dungeon?"
After a pause, Shendian continued: "Male, thin, not too tall... very beautiful."
Bian Shicheng's heart skipped a beat.
This description...
Isn't this Yu Xi?
Shen Temple stared at Bian Shicheng through the gap under the hood and repeated the question again: "Did you encounter her?"
The voice was flat, and it sounded no different from speaking through the system before, but Bian Shicheng inexplicably felt a sense of oppression.
As a senior player of the Judgment Hall and a core subordinate of Shen Temple, he should tell everything.
——"I didn't notice."
Bian Shicheng felt his heart beating wildly, but his expression did not change. He tried to make himself look natural, "That copy was quite strange, and there were many players in the copy. I... was only thinking about finding bugs at the time, and didn't pay too much attention to the players' situation."
After speaking, Bian Shicheng also showed a puzzled expression at the right time, "Did something happen?"
Shen Temple did not answer.
He just stared at Bian Shicheng for a long time, so long that the golden figure gradually blurred in the projection, and then he nodded vaguely.
Then the video was interrupted with a "click".
Bian Shicheng was stunned for a few seconds, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a few seconds, he suddenly jumped up as if he had reacted, clicked on the system interface and sent a message to Yu Zhen.
——[Xiao Zhen, where are you? ]
——[Don't go out casually recently, do you hear me? ]
A few minutes later, Yu Zhen replied:
——[What's wrong? ]
Bian Shicheng hesitated for a long time, fiddling with his fingers, and finally squeezed out a sentence:
——[Someone is up to something. ]
——[Anyway, someone is looking for you, just ignore it. ]
