Chapter 186 Welcome Back Gutter rats are best at hiding in...
As if the photo album had noticed her movement, it immediately returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Time is running out. Perhaps there will be some clues here..."
With the idea of playing the whole role, Cecilia muttered to herself as she looked through the photos in the album one by one.
Finally, her eyes stopped at the photo with her parents.
【You picked up the "special" photo. 】
[Congratulations to player "Chesia"...]
What happened next was exactly the same as last time.
The pollution consumed the evil thoughts of the dungeon, appearing in the form of mist, and persuaded her to become their leader.
Boris...
While she was dealing with the pollution, she used her remaining energy to sense her surroundings.
But that guy, Boris, hid so well that she could never find his location.
Knowing that the enemy would launch a sneak attack, I couldn't find any clues even if I looked for them deliberately. No wonder I was able to succeed last time.
After all, sewer rats are best at hiding in the dark.
At the same time, Boris had separated himself from the pollution, silently waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
Until the battle between the two sides reached a fever pitch, Cecia devoted herself to the battle, and the gap behind her was exposed.
Restraining his hands that were trembling with excitement, he grasped the dagger and stabbed forward without hesitation.
Warm blood flowed down his arm. He had endured for so long and finally his long-cherished wish came true.
Hill's soul will be consumed by the pollution, and he will be able to take complete control of the world.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts…”
A strange voice came, and Boris raised his head, facing a pale ghost face.
His wishful thinking failed.
Even though Cecilia could not find Boris's location, she knew that with his despicable means, he would definitely attack her from behind.
She just needs to protect her back.
He kept the [Ghost Whistle] in his hand and blew it the moment Boris appeared.
The hanged ghost, who had been lying on the bed and leisurely reading a whole book, was summoned out again by bad luck. Before he could figure out the current situation, he was stabbed in the chest.
Its bright red tongue rolled up onto Boris' neck. It tightened its tongue in dissatisfaction and glared at Boris: "We have no grudges against each other, why did you stab me?"
The body condensed by the pollution dissipated instantly and solidified again not far away.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what the hell is this? It tastes terrible."
The hanged ghost spits out the pollution on his tongue and is about to attack again—
"I'm sorry, but I'm the one who has a grudge against him."
The voice from behind sounded familiar. The hanged ghost turned around in confusion. The evil look on his face scared him so much that he almost fell to his knees.
No, why is this ancestor here!!!
It could still fight back against Boris, but when it saw this person, it just wanted to run away.
Forget about using it as a shield for ghost meat, even poking it for fun is fine, as long as you can put it back afterwards...
"My dear friend, what do you want to talk to me about?"
After carefully considering the address, the hanged ghost forced out a flattering smile, "That guy across the street has a grudge against you, right? How do you want to deal with him?"
The pain from being stabbed hasn't dissipated yet. It seems that this is not a fatal injury.
Her eyes fell on the dagger stuck in the hanged man's shoulder, and Cecilia thought for a moment.
Her stature was taller than the hanged ghost, so her position might have been off when she was summoned, so she failed to stab him in the heart.
Whether it's finding files or blocking damage, this thing is pretty useful.
If the NPC could not be taken out of the copy, she would have wanted to lure him into the demon clan.
The Hanged Ghost has no magic power and is not afraid of pollution erosion, but it also has no ability to kill pollution, so it can only...
"Hold him and don't let him disturb me."
"Okay!"
The hanged man happily accepted the task.
For it, as long as it doesn't come into conflict with a certain plague god, anything else is fine.
Seeing that Cecia was unharmed, Boris's face became extremely ugly.
Damn it, how could he fail?
He obviously hid it very well, this should have been a perfect plan, and Hill should have died tragically at his hands!
Things shouldn't have turned out this way...
A gloomy look swept over Cecia, and he was about to launch another sneak attack, but the hanged man blocked his way.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
The hanged man looked him up and down and shook his head regretfully.
"Why do you have a grudge against someone else instead of provoking him?"
…
"Cheshia, be our leader. Let's kill Boris."
"Devouring evil thoughts, we have the knowledge of the dungeon, and we know all about the special items. You can't kill us."
Perhaps because she survived Boris's sneak attack, Pollution became more interested in her.
"You are the perfect leader. Together, we can take over the world."
Is it perfect?
She sneered, her scarlet eyes full of contempt.
"Unfortunately, you are useless 'subordinates'."
As she spoke, she threw the [Irresistible Cage] towards the pollution.
The gray-black mist changed, and the tentacles stretched out to grab the cage.
"it's useless."
The hollow voice contained no emotion.
"We don't fit into the concept of biological beings and won't be put into..."
They paused for the first time, and the second half of the sentence was choked back.
The cage that was originally entangled by tentacles suddenly shattered, and a strange man was released from the cage.
"Is it finally my turn?"
The other person let out a girl's voice that didn't match her appearance.
"He" just poked the tentacle lightly, but the pollution seemed to be burned by flames, screaming and dissipating quickly.
"Xiaxia! Is this what you call pollution? They are really afraid of me!"
A childlike innocent smile appeared on that weathered face. He seemed to be really curious about it. He chased after the pollution and touched it, causing it to flee in a panic.
"Humans? Why are there humans here?!"
Boris also noticed the changes in the battle situation here. His ugly face became distorted, unable to accept this reality.
"Impossible... This must be an illusion you created! There are only you and me in this copy, and you have taken all the humans to the Western Fantasy World. How could there still be--"
"Yeah, it was impossible."
Without the restraint of pollution, Cecia approached Boris with a smile, as if she was taking a leisurely walk in her own garden.
"It's all thanks to you, Boris."
"Me? What does this have to do with me!"
An impotent roar erupted from deep in his throat. Boris dodged the hanged man's tongue and looked around for a chance to escape.
"Have you forgotten that you killed her twice—twice?"
She still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.
"If she hadn't been killed by you, she should have been in a safe area with other humans instead of being trapped in the dungeon and forced to experience danger again and again."
"What on earth are you talking about..."
"It seems that you really can't remember. You've killed too many people, right?"
The smile on the corners of his mouth widened again, and his horrified expression frightened the innocent hanged ghost, who almost ran away.
"It's okay if you don't remember."
"Now, you are going to die."
At some point, a strange man appeared behind Boris and grabbed his arm.
A heart-wrenching wail sounded.
For Boris, who is made of pollution, being touched by humans is as painful as having his flesh and blood thrown into a frying pan.
It felt like someone was cutting his flesh piece by piece, but it was never reaching the vital points and was extremely painful.
"Xia, is he the one who killed me?"
The man blinked his wrinkled eyes and poked Boris again and again.
Faced with such an incongruous scene, Cecia's expression relaxed for a rare time, and she patted the other person's head affectionately.
"Yeah, bear, welcome back."
…
When Cecia just triggered [Start Over] and returned to the beginning of the dungeon, she and Black Cat had a two-hour discussion about what was about to happen.
If we want to completely suppress pollution, humans are necessary.
However, Black Cat released all humans into the "human farm", and the few remaining ones in the "abandoned old building" were all brought back to reality by Cecilia.
There is not a single human being in the copy now.
Finally, Cecia came up with a teddy bear.
According to the experience of the last death, the pollution merged with the evil thoughts only after the black cat successfully stripped the souls of the teddy bear and Blake.
In other words, the teddy bear's soul is under the control of the black cat.
The human soul alone, or the human body alone, cannot do anything about pollution.
Fortunately, although there are no living humans left, there are still fresh human corpses preserved in the copy.
As long as the black cat injects his soul into it, the teddy bear can be resurrected in the appearance of someone else.
Although the teddy bear's memory still remains before his first death, he trusts Cecilia 100%.
It is willing to do whatever she says.
After everything was ready, Cecia calculated the time and used the [Irresistible Cage] to put the teddy bear with a body into it.
When 24 hours were almost up, she threw the cage out again, and it broke automatically, releasing the teddy bear and catching Pollution off guard.
Even though the pollution has accumulated over so many years, it is not something that the teddy bear alone can purify immediately, but it is enough to suppress and weaken it.
The evil thoughts in the copy have been swallowed up. Without the interference of pollution, Black Cat is the real system administrator.
"...How about this, can we end it now?"
The voice of the black cat sounded in the copy.
The reason why they always communicate in text is because once the black cat speaks, the entire copy can hear it.
Now that the situation has been determined, there is no need to worry about these things.
"No, wait a little longer. Someone is quite persistent."
Cecilia's eyes were smiling, but her hands were not sloppy at all. The scorching temperature warmed the broken soul in her hands.
The polluted body cannot be purified easily, but the separated Berris is different.
The pollution that was attached to his body was quickly removed by the teddy bear, leaving only a poor, broken soul.
With the teddy bear restraining the pollution, the black cat simply restored Cecilia's magic, giving her more means to torture souls.
"Xi... Er..."
The translucent soul grew weaker and weaker, and could only utter fragmented moans.
Tsk.
Hearing the disgusting person using a term of endearment, she subconsciously turned up the heat.
The soul, which had been dying for a long time, could no longer hold on, and with a "puff" sound it completely dissipated and turned into nothingness.
"Okay, now you can."
She dusted off her hands and felt calmer than ever before.
The black cat, who had been waiting for a long time, did not answer, but could not wait to use the system to broadcast -
[Congratulations to the player for finding something "special". The copy "Normal World" has been cleared. Do you want to leave the copy 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.]
