Chapter 98: Thousand Faces of All Living Things (6)
Gu Qiufeng simply told Duan Jiangli about his experience.
The two of them found a relatively safe place near the ruins, and squatted there using large rocks as cover to hide their bodies. Duan Jiangli, who had been listening, gradually became dazed.
"Wait... you mean, Xie Xin and X are not on the same side?" Duan Jiangli blurted out, "But what this guy did in our world is not much more noble than X. He also kills humans!"
The fact that Xie Xin entered the game had already made Duan Jiangli realize that his deputy captain was probably in danger.
No wonder I didn’t see the deputy captain in that fictional world.
When Duan Jiangli thought of this, he couldn't help but clench his teeth, and his cheeks felt sore.
Even if Gu Qiufeng tried to excuse Xie Xin at this time, Duan Jiangli would never forgive this monster!
"I didn't say that he is on the same side as us." Gu Qiufeng said, "What I mean is that the enemy of my enemy is my best friend for the time being."
"Then, Senior, seriously," Duan Jiangli took a deep breath and asked seriously, "If after defeating X, Xie Xin also goes against the human race's position, what will you do, Senior?"
Gu Qiufeng said helplessly: "Do you really have to force me to make a choice now?"
"Because this issue is very, very critical." Duan Jiangli said, "We are all ordinary people. For the time being, we probably can't really implement such noble things as killing relatives for the sake of justice. From the tone of your voice, I can feel that Xie Xin is a good brother. He treats you well, but he kills other humans. This is very contradictory. But senior, if you have to make a choice in the end, what will you do?"
Gu Qiufeng said: "I don't know either."
He rarely actually lost his composure on his face.
Duan Jiangli said: "Then at least you won't be an enemy of humans, right?"
"Even if we really become enemies, you can kill me in the end." Gu Qiufeng pretended to be joking, as if he wanted to clear the depressed mood just now with a joke, "Captain Duan, who upholds justice, should not let go of factors that are unfavorable to humans, right?"
Duan Jiangli smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, I've already told you that I can't sacrifice my relatives for the sake of justice."
He suddenly became serious and stared at Gu Qiufeng with his deep eyes.
Duan Jiangli's throat seemed to tighten for a moment, and even his voice changed a little. "If the senior were to become our enemy, I would be in a difficult position as well."
"You're just thinking too much." Gu Qiufeng chuckled and changed the heavy topic that had no solution for the time being, "What is your mission in this world? Let's complete the mission as soon as possible and go find Xie Songjin."
Duan Jiangli said bitterly, "You need to kill all the S-level mutant zombies in this city, and then collect all the crystal core fragments and hand them in to the base to pass the level." Gu Qiufeng asked, "How many crystal core fragments?"
"Five." Duan Jiangli said, "I risked my life to kill three. Now I just don't have the energy and I'm hungry, so I came out to look for supplies, and I happened to meet you, senior."
He said: "It's actually hard to find. Although the health bar is thick enough, it can be killed by grinding."
At this point, Duan Jiangli's eyes suddenly brightened: "Senior, don't you have a lot of NPCs?"
Gu Qiufeng: "Unfortunately, they were just killed by Xie Xin?"
"Ah?" Duan Jiangli blinked, "What is Xie Xin doing with this? It's really——"
He stared at Gu Qiufeng's cold smiling eyes and swallowed back the words "a dog catching a rat's business".
Gu Qiufeng said: "I don't know. He said that it's best not to use my ability too much, because the price will be heavy."
"Price?" Duan Jiangli frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"
Gu Qiufeng: "Not sure, very mysterious."
However, this was related to Gu Qiufeng's life after all. Even though Gu Qiufeng showed that he didn't care, Duan Jiangli had already started to think about it, and soon he looked up at Gu Qiufeng: "Senior, this won't have a serious backlash on you, right?"
"I don't know." Gu Qiufeng was stunned, "It seems that there are no bad changes at the moment."
Duan Jiangli said, "So there are good changes?"
Gu Qiufeng shrugged: "Well, my left eye has turned blue. It seems to have some ability to purify mental pollution. But I feel that my resistance to mental pollution has also increased."
"Senior." Duan Jiangli's expression gradually became serious. "Do you know what changes will occur to ordinary human players after they obtain skills?"
Gu Qiufeng didn't know this. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Duan Jiangli rolled up his sleeves, and he casually exchanged a small knife from the mall, and used the back of the knife to cut his arm, and blood immediately oozed out. Duan Jiangli seemed to feel no pain, and spread his hands: "I didn't use any force, senior."
"I have a skill that outputs strength." Duan Jiangli looked straight at Gu Qiufeng, "Do you understand? Senior, when a player gains a skill in one aspect, his skill in another aspect will be correspondingly weakened."
Output players have high damage and are suitable for fighting monsters, but their health bars will become extremely fragile, and a simple attack can harm their lives, so they must be accompanied by healing players for treatment. This is why healing players are more popular in dungeons.
But at the same time, the physical strength of healing players will be greatly weakened, and they will not be able to go into dungeons alone, and can only rely on the protection and support of output players.
"Looking at it this way, the various types of auxiliary players are relatively balanced, right? But correspondingly, their mental thresholds are low, and they are easily assimilated by the origin, especially the most sought-after mental players. They can't stand any stimulation and their psychological endurance is extremely fragile." Duan Jiangli said, "Senior, because of your skills, you should be a comprehensive player, right? So, have you ever thought about where you will be weakened?"
"Whether it's the increase in the mental threshold or the emergence of inhuman traits, do you think this is a gift?" Duan Jiangli said, "But the only one who is truly not afraid of mental pollution is Origin."
Because of the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness hidden in the hearts of human beings, and because of their despicable or noble human nature, the spiritual pollution of origin is destined to be a fatal death for them.
Can anyone really abandon human nature and remain unmoved?
The answer seems to be clear.
"Although I don't want to admit it, it seems that this guy is really a good brother to you, Senior." Duan Jiangli said strangely, "If you use a lot of your abilities, it may mean..."
The degree of assimilation will gradually deepen.
Gu Qiufeng frowned: "But I don't feel anything wrong."
"The most terrifying thing is the subtle influence. Xie Xin would never warn you without a reason," Duan Jiangli patted Gu Qiufeng on the shoulder, "Then senior, you'd better not take action later. I will solve these as soon as possible."
He touched the back of his neck and smiled: "These monsters are really annoying. It seems we have to get rid of them as soon as possible."

When Yu Chi'ang opened his eyes, he found himself lying in an empty hall.
He sat up, touching his aching neck, and realized that it must be Xie Xin who knocked him out and left him here.
Although I don’t know why Xie Xin finally changed his mind and decided not to kill him.
Thinking about the information Xie Xin had told him, Yu Chiang felt a surge of regret.
It turned out that my existence had caused so much trouble to my senior.
If it weren't for me, the senior might not have been directly exposed to X's sight, and the suffering he suffered might have been less.
It was he who implicated the senior.
Yu Chi'ang gritted his teeth and for the first time hated the meaning of his existence.
But even so, he did not give up on himself for too long and soon stood up from the ground.
After taking a look at the surrounding facilities, Yu Chiang came to a conclusion.
Xie Xin dropped him at the entrance of the A-level copy.
The senior should have also entered the A-level copy.
Since I have indirectly caused so much trouble to my senior before, I will try my best to help him now!
Yu Chiang had been to the A-level dungeon several times and was already familiar with the rules.
When he entered the elevator and saw several gray floor buttons that could not be pressed, Yu Chiang realized that these were the floors chosen by his seniors.
If he wants to meet up with his senior, he must first clear the first level as soon as possible.
At the same time, Yu Chiang not only wanted to make up for his own mistake, he also wanted to remind his seniors to be careful of Xie Xin!
Xie Xin obviously has his own ideas, and concepts that run counter to those of human beings.
Maybe Xie Xin will try his best to thwart his senior's plan.
Yu Chiang decisively pressed a key and entered the floor.

At the same time, Lu Jinghong, covering his bleeding neck, rolled into the elevator the moment he saw it.
The rule is that once the elevator door is closed, it cannot be opened again.
So Lu Jinghong could only see Xie Xin's delicate face with a changeable expression outside the elevator.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Xie Xin did not want to stop the elevator from closing.
She really didn't know what Xie Xin wanted to do. He was simply a madman whose thoughts were impossible to guess!
Lu Jinghong covered his neck, his face was pale, and his whole body collapsed in the elevator.
She looked up and found that there were three elevator buttons that had gone dark.
Lu Jinghong understood that the only way for him to survive was to find the younger brother who was treated specially by Xie Xin.
She still has a lot to do, X has not been killed yet, she can't die in obscurity at the hands of Xie Xin!
Lu Jinghong trembled as she cut a piece of her clothes with a knife and wrapped it around her neck to stop the bleeding. Xie Xin was just one inch away from strangling her throat. Fortunately, Lu Jinghong's physique was no longer considered human, otherwise she would have died from heavy bleeding.
However, Xie Xin seemed to have said that X had left some kind of spiritual mark in her brain.
Lu Jinghong took these words to heart.
If X really had been marked and was born without her knowledge, that would be a real problem.
Lu Jinghong was originally going to try his luck at finding Brother Xie Xin among the hacked floor buttons, but suddenly changed his mind and switched to another button.
No, if X really had planted the mark, she would be a disaster to any human player she met now.
X wanted to be born here simply to cross dimensions to harm human players.
As long as Lu Jinghong clears the A-level copy and returns to City A, City A is a high-dimensional world. At that time, X will naturally no longer be able to use the mark to come to the world where human players are, and the mark will naturally be useless.
Anyway, since Brother Xie Xin has already arrived at the A-level copy, it means that his target is also City A, so we can just meet up then.
After figuring it out, Lu Jinghong turned around and pressed a button for a higher floor.
Unlike Gu Qiufeng, she had already cleared the A-level dungeon, so she naturally knew how to clear it in the end.
She thought of the funny-looking clown and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
I feel like underneath the clown's appearance, there must be an interesting soul.
The elevator door opened and Lu Jinghong entered a world full of mirrors.
