Chapter 158: The Savior of Humanity "I will always be by your side, until...
The barrage of questions confused him and interrupted his crazy mood.
Boris had a gloomy face, and his eyes wandered between Cecia and Wilbert.
"Whatever you say."
He suddenly laughed and raised his hand to hook his fingers.
Blake behind him seemed to be controlled by something and flew backwards with his movements.
"You, him, and all human beings will die in this copy - here, I am God!"
As he spoke, he pinched Blake's slender neck with one hand, gradually increasing the strength of his hand.
Damn guy!
Cecia cursed inwardly, exchanged a quick glance with Wilbert, and rushed forward swinging an axe.
After a long time together, the two have developed a certain tacit understanding. Wilbert understood what he meant and immediately used the active skill [Psychological Counseling] and chose Boris as the patient.
"Why?"
The skill took effect, and Boris's eyes instantly became clear. He blinked in confusion and turned to look at Blake in his hand.
"What is this? Why would I strangle her? This is such a horrible act!"
Good opportunity!
She was already close to Boris, and swung the axe directly at the man who was holding Blake's arm.
"Oh my, that's scary."
Boris dodged, he deliberately pinched his throat, a hint of mockery flashed in his gray-blue eyes, "Do you really think that my naive brother can fight against me?"
Turning his head, he regained his annoying expression. The clarity and confusion just now were obviously fake.
"Why, you've been infected after spending so much time with him?"
He sneered and shook Black in his hand casually. But the other party was like a rag doll, with no self-awareness at all.
Cecia didn't say anything, but stuffed a dark red invitation letter into his pocket and popped the yellow balloon in her hand.
"You can enhance the power of a special item for two minutes (D)."
[Item name: Special invitation]
[A dark red invitation letter with five people's signatures on it. It contains the blessings of five neighbors to the player and has a certain hypnotic effect.]
[After writing the exact place name on the invitation letter, hand it to anyone, and the other person will be bewitched and subconsciously go to that place. ]
【Note: The invitation letter will become invalid after being used once. 】
"Botanical Garden?"
Boris paused, his eyes darkened, "I think I have something important to do. I need to go to the botanical garden..."
While the other party was still distracted, she chopped him down with an axe, saving Blake along with his entire forearm.
What was strange was that as soon as the half arm left Boris's body, it turned into gray-black particles, floated with him, and re-condensed at the position of the broken arm.
It's like growing an arm again.
Boris was completely unaware, still muttering "botanical garden" while staggering in a certain direction.
"Since he is immune to your control, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold out for long. Let's get out of here first."
Cecia held Blake in her arms and grabbed Wilbert—
The scenery in the rose garden was beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming all the way, but they had no intention of stopping to appreciate it. They ran for their lives as if they were being chased by a ghost.
According to Black Snake, Boris has obtained some of the power of gods, which is why he is so fearless.
But from the current situation, he still has no way to be immune to the effects of special items, and is far from being a true "God".
Since he has not reached the level of being able to do whatever he says and being omnipotent, there must be a way to deal with him.
"…Xia? Am I asleep? Where is this?"
During this time, the teddy bear crawled out of his pocket and looked around in a daze.
No, what's next is too dangerous. The little bear was killed by Boris again. It's hard to imagine if he will kill him a second time...
She gritted her teeth and put the teddy bear directly into the system backpack.
Even though her memory would be wiped once she returned to the backpack and the copy could not be summoned a second time, she didn't want the teddy bear to experience the feeling of death again.
They didn't know how long they had been running, avoiding crowded places as much as possible along the way, and finally ran to a desolate palace.
This place is full of gorgeous buildings, and the whole exudes luxury. Although this palace is still exquisitely built, the outside is overgrown with weeds.
Not only were there no bright flowers, but the palace was covered with some gray vegetation, and even the interior was covered with spider webs. "Let's hide here for now."
She pushed the door open quietly, and after making sure that no one was inside, she put Blake down.
The other person's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and there were cracks on his neck where he had been strangled. His condition was not optimistic.
"I remember that she can use a kind of black mist that can automatically repair body damage. If she can be awakened, perhaps things will get better."
Cecia said softly, reaching out to touch Blake's cold cheek. It felt as smooth and delicate as porcelain, making it difficult to slap.
After hesitating for a moment, she moved her fingers to the other person's nose, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't hear any exhaled air.
…Does porcelain need to breathe? Not so sure.
Unable to confirm Blake's vital signs, she could only try to wake him up with her voice.
"Blake, Blake, wake up!"
"It's so noisy, she won't wake up."
An irritable voice sounded from behind, and the familiar black snake suddenly appeared again.
The black snake moved in an S-shaped path, swam in front of Cecia, and spat out cold words from its fanged mouth -
"She is dead."
I don’t know if other snakes would care about the emotions of others, but the cold-blooded animal in front of me obviously doesn’t.
The black snake spit out its tongue and continued to add: "She wasn't strangled to death. She died a long time ago, almost when we first entered the dungeon."
"It was because of her death that I was able to sense the cheater's location."
"……lie."
Cecia looked cold and met Black Snake's gaze. "At the Candy Party, I also saw—"
Her voice stopped abruptly, and she recalled all of Blake's abnormal behavior in her mind.
“See, you realized it, too.”
Black Snake finished her words mercilessly, "She was already a corpse at that time, or a puppet controlled by the cheater."
"Cheaters carry energy that is not in the dungeon, and it is difficult for me to deal with it."
With that said, the black snake coiled around Blake, exerting a little force.
A cloud of black mist drifted out from its mouth and nose. The black snake shook its tail, and the black mist dissipated into the air.
"This thing is what you call pollution. The copy cannot purify this energy. It can only transfer it to other copies - provided that no one controls the pollution."
He can control pollution and is not restricted by magic; when he leaves the dungeon, he can go directly into the Land of Death...
From this perspective, the situation is almost unsolvable.
As if seeing through Cecia's thoughts, Black Snake spoke again.
"Since I came to you, there must be a way to fight back."
It left Blake and climbed up Cecia's arm.
"The place you chose is very clever. This is the temple, where the gods lived before they fell."
Light emanated from the black snake, illuminating this dark temple.
The statue in the temple has collapsed, and due to excessive damage, the face of the god cannot be seen, but hundreds of white balls are floating near the statue.
They are all white and have different words written on them.
"See", "hear", "smell", "taste", "touch"...
"Is this the corresponding to the five senses being taken away?"
Shocked by the scene before her, she asked subconsciously.
"Yes, there is an apple orchard behind the temple."
The black snake swayed its body, looking omniscient, "As long as the random senses are injected into the apple, it will form the forbidden fruit that sinners desire."
"With these, we can kill Boris?"
"No, no, no, it's not that easy."
The tip of the black snake's tail shook.
"In this instance, the cheater has gained some of the power of the gods. It would be foolish to confront him directly."
"But as long as you break the barrier that imprisons the five senses, these senses will automatically return to the players, and everyone can complete the game together - of course, except for the dead."
The sticky body gradually moved upwards.
"We will discuss the next battle plan after we leave this instance."
Long-term plan?
His gaze shifted to Blake, whose peaceful expression seemed as if he had just fallen into a deep sleep.
Cecia clenched her fists and made up her mind.
"…Okay, how do we break the barrier?"
"With an axe."
Black Snake said casually, "Although you are not good at other things, you are still strong. I see that you are good at using the axe, so keep going."
Bang-bang-bang
As soon as Black Snake said this, the regular sound of chopping could be heard in the temple.
She swung the axe for ten minutes, but the transparent barrier did not move at all, and not even a crack appeared.
Whenever her eyes fell on the black snake, she would get a lazy "Come on".
…
"Hill, so you guys are hiding here. No wonder we can't find you anywhere."
As the voice sounded, the door of the temple slowly opened, and Boris followed after him like a ghost.
"I tried so hard to be close to you, but you kept pushing me away... It's a bit sad."
The cold voice came up and was more poisonous than the black snake next to it.
Seeing Cecia turning around and about to confront Boris head-on, Black Snake yelled in frustration.
"Turn back! Turn back now! What did I just say? Only an idiot would confront him directly!"
"Don't you have something that can summon the dead? Take it out and use it! Are you saving special items for the New Year?"
Are fallen gods also considered dead?
Without hesitation, she took out the hand bell from her system backpack.
[Item name: Bell of the Dead]
[It is said that the octagonal house was originally inhabited by nobles, and the bell was used to summon servants to serve. Unfortunately, after being forcibly taken away from the octagonal house, the bell of the dead lost its ability to command the dead.]
[If you shake it in a place with heavy yin energy, you can summon the dead spirits that exist there - perhaps, you can communicate with them? ]
Two quick sounds...two seconds apart...three slow shakes...
As his hand shook, the temperature in the temple suddenly dropped, the originally broken statue trembled slightly, and the fragments scattered on the ground floated up and gradually gathered towards the main body.
Snap.
As if unable to bear the weight of the god's soul, the [Bell of the Dead] exploded and turned into dust.
The summoned soul directly attached itself to the statue, and its compassionate eyes opened and locked onto Boris who had stolen the power.
“…Give it back to me.”
A heavy yet ethereal voice echoed in the temple.
Boris ignored her and continued to move closer to Cecia.
The statue stopped talking and slapped Boris with its huge hand.
Seeing that the opponent was being held back by the statue, Cecia did not have the leisure to pay attention to the battle situation. She was still struggling with the transparent barrier in front of her, and even used the [Word Horn].
"Enhance the sharpness of the Hidden Axe for ten minutes."
But no matter how hard she tried, there was no progress at all.
Boom!
There was a sharp crashing sound, and as Boris kept dodging, the statue slapped the transparent barrier with one palm.
Click.
Cracks immediately appeared where the photo was taken and spread outward at an alarming speed.
...Since it is a barrier set up by God, then only God can break it!
Cecia narrowed her eyes and did not continue to chop stupidly, but threw herself into the battle.
She did not join the frontal battle, but instead guided Boris's position indirectly, causing the statue to repeatedly accidentally damage the transparent barrier.
BANG!!
Finally, the transparent barrier could not withstand the power of the statue and shattered completely.
Those white balls representing the senses were running around, escaping from the temple one by one and flying into the bodies of different players.
[Congratulations to the player for recovering the sense: taste.] [Your lover has recovered the sense: smell.]
A familiar prompt sound rang in her mind, and the black snake's tense nerves relaxed, and the whole snake collapsed on her arm.
[Congratulations to the player and his lover for regaining all their senses and cracking the truth of the world. The dungeon "Garden of Eden" has been cleared. Do you want to leave the dungeon immediately? ]
[Note: If you select No or do not make a selection, the system will automatically force the player to leave the dungeon after five minutes.]
"Do you think you can get away?"
After finally getting close to Cecia, she heard the news of the clearance. Boris looked gloomy and stared at her.
"In the next instance, the next instance, or in the real world, I will always stay by your side... until you belong to me completely, even if you are just a corpse."
[Leaving the instance, settlement is in progress...]
[The dungeon "Garden of Eden" has been cleared. Player "Chesia" has achieved the achievement "Savior of Humanity". Rewards will be issued to you...]
