Chapter 69: Nowhere to Go - Rest Area
Anyway, Wu Tong is now a member of the guild. Before parting with the other party, Nan Huan asked him to use his skills to help him make a choice.
Bei Xi only had time to confirm with Nan Huan that after absorbing the white light band from the dean's body, her health points had indeed made a qualitative leap. After leaving the dungeon this time, she did not suffer backlash like last time. As the situation became increasingly worse, she hurried to deal with the things that had accumulated over the past two days.
Nan Huan actually wanted to ask her about her coma just now.
As a result, I saw a row of people standing next to me, holding documents in their hands, waiting for approval, so I didn't want to disturb them.
I could only follow Bei Xi's arrangement and go back to my room to rest for the time being.
When she woke up from the familiar smell, there was an arm around her waist and she was half lying on the heat source.
The rustling sound of flipping through things and the familiar decorations around made Nan Huan feel dazed for a moment.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether I was back in the real world or in the rest area.
After being stunned for two seconds, his eyes gradually became clear.
When I tilted my head, I saw that Bei Xi was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and was flipping something in his hands, looking at it seriously.
Bei Xi looks more serious and a little more ascetic with glasses on.
Nan Huan habitually tried to hook the leg of her glasses, but halfway through, Bei Xi grabbed his hand and kissed him on the lips.
"Awake?" Bei Xi realized she was awake as soon as she moved. He put his arm around her waist, lifted her up, and leaned her against his shoulder. "Are you hungry?"
Nan Huan shook his head. "Did you not sleep all night? Or did you get up early?"
She might have been too tired from playing in the dungeon. She had been planning to wait for Beixi last night, but she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
"Get up early and watch something."
Bei Xi casually placed the documents in her hand on the bedside table, turned to look at Nan Huan, as if observing her expression to confirm that she was indeed feeling better.
"By the way, when you were unconscious, Heer said you just went somewhere. Where did you go and why did you vomit blood?"
Nan Huan finally remembered the questions he hadn't asked last night, and he also told the other party all the riddles that Heer had played on him.
Bei Xi originally didn't intend to talk about what happened when he was unconscious.
But unexpectedly, not only could she feel Hull when she was unconscious, but Hull could also react and feel her.
I had no choice but to tell the truth about what happened in that strange place.
"What?" Nan Huan was furious when she heard this. After all, He Er had said that everything would be fine, so she didn't think too deeply about it. She never thought that there was someone in that place who wanted to kill Bei Xi. "Did you see who that person was? What did he look like?"
The more she talked, the more scared she felt. She didn't know if her hug had worked.
But what would have happened to her if she hadn't hugged Heer at that time, or if Bei Xi hadn't thought of other ways to get out at that time?
Was he dragged directly into the swamp?
Seeing that she was getting angry, Bei Xi had no choice but to hold her in his arms and rub her back like he was petting a cat.
"I can't see clearly, but she must be restrained by something. Otherwise, why didn't she deal with me openly? She didn't even dare to show her face?"
Bei Xi recalled what happened at that time.
Nan Huan remembered what Heer had said before, asking him to try not to use this skill to avoid any danger.
She thought at the time that the other party was referring to herself, but now it seems that he was referring to Bei Xi.
I felt that if I didn't use this skill, Hel wouldn't appear, Beixi wouldn't disappear, and they wouldn't appear there at all.
She told Bei Xi her guess, "It seems that your going to that place is probably related to the skill I used. Do you still remember the specific situation at that time? We should try to avoid it next time and not create the conditions for Hull to be unlocked. It is always better to be cautious."
"At that time, you were about to collapse. I just felt very angry. When I reacted, my perspective had changed."
It seems that this method is not very feasible. If we cannot infer the specific unlocking conditions, it means that there is a high probability that we will encounter the same problem again next time.
Nan Huan felt that he couldn't hang himself on a rope. "What about your enemies in the game? If they want to kill you, there must be a reason, right?"
If you can't solve the situation that might happen, then solve the people who caused it to happen.
Very simple and crude, but very effective.
But Nan Huan forgot one thing.
Bei Xi looked embarrassed, "Well... I think if there is a chance to kill me, many players may have this idea..."
She took a rare moment to recall her three years as a gamer, and realized that this was not a good idea.
Nan Huan also realized that he had asked a stupid question.
Although Bei Xi is not someone who actively seeks trouble, her current number one player ranking and the fact that the Servant Under the Skirt Guild is the largest guild do mean that there are indeed many people who want to kill her.
"Okay," Bei Xi kissed her between the eyebrows, "Don't think too much. If they didn't succeed this time, they will definitely act again next time. We are already alert now, so we are not passive."
Although the virtual panel cannot be used in that strange space, Bei Xi feels that he might be able to think of other ways.
"Besides, if you just hug me, I'll come back from there. I trust you."
Obviously it was such a serious topic, but Bei Xi wanted to appease Nan Huan, so he deliberately spoke in a very corny way.
Nan Huan's expression seemed a little more relaxed, and he took the initiative to hug Bei Xi's neck.
"Now it seems that this game is most likely related to us. One person who looks like you is just a coincidence, but now there are two of them. What's more, what they said always makes me feel uneasy. I don't know what I will face in the future."
Nan Huan didn't want to admit it at first.
But now, the NPCs of such high levels in the game copy look exactly like Beixi, and the fragments of the faith totem were all extracted from their bodies and were taken by himself.
It’s hard to say that there is no connection here.
Nan Huan always felt that she and Bei Xi seemed to have fallen into some trap, being pushed step by step by the other party and unable to see the full picture. She didn't like this passive feeling.
Especially now, Bei Xi’s personal safety is threatened.
"I have a different opinion." Bei Xi knew that Nan Huan was worried about her, so she hugged her and sat her on him, letting her lean against him. "Before you entered the game, the Faith Totem fragments had never appeared. You have only been in the game for a few days, and you have obtained two fragments. Do you know what this means?"
"What does it mean?" Nan Huan looked up at the other person, not yet figuring out what Bei Xi wanted to say.
"It means a turning point has appeared. Even the form of the game has begun to change. Leaving is no longer an illusory word."
No matter what happens, a crisis is always accompanied by a turning point, so Bei Xi is not that worried. Instead, she is very much looking forward to what it will be like in the end.
Nan Huan understood what she meant instantly and was about to discuss their next move with her.
Before he could even open his mouth, he was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door.
"President, I'm sorry to bother you. There's a player at the guild entrance who wants to see you and the young lady."
Nineteen's voice has always been dignified.
Even when he saw Nan Huan and found that she looked exactly like the portrait on the president's desk, he was able to maintain his composure on the surface, but now there was obvious anxiety in his tone.
And generally, when the president is in the bedroom, she will not disturb him unless it is an extremely urgent matter.
Especially since she knew very well at this moment that the president was with the eldest lady and didn't want to be disturbed.
Bei Xi was obviously aware of this, and felt that the person he was about to meet might really be troublesome.
But she was very confused. After all, she didn't think there was any player who would dare to rush in so recklessly and ignore the powerful defense of a guild.
After opening the door, Nineteen only said one sentence, and Bei Xi decided to go and meet this person.
She looked at Nan Huan, seemingly hesitating whether to take him with her.
"I'll go with you. I have a way to judge her trust in us."
Bei Xi did not refuse.
Five minutes later, in the reception room on the second floor.
Nan Huan saw the woman standing by the window. She was wrapped in several layers of clothes. The sleeve of her left hand was hanging empty. Her face was covered by tangled hair, so her features could not be seen clearly.
I could only vaguely make out the other person's upturned lips as he looked out the window.
Nan Huan followed her gaze and saw the hound he had taken out from the first copy frolicking on the lawn in front of the door.
The weather is nice today and it is so lively that people passing by will tease it.
But the hound seemed very aloof and didn't pay much attention to it. It just ran around on the lawn by itself.
【bite--
The trust level of the potential target, the prophet, has been detected to be 80. Do you want to use the skill "I am the eldest lady"?
Note: This skill does not require points to be used. After completing the faith ritual, the prophet will automatically become the eldest lady's 'die-hard believer'. 】
Because of the other party's strange behavior, Nan Huan did not pay attention to the number above the other party's head at first.
When I heard the prompt, I saw the eye-catching number eighty.
Then, one of the unlocked asterisks on the personal skills section of the virtual panel became a 'die-hard believer'.
Before Nan Huan had time to feel novel about the content that he heard for the first time and did not require any points to be spent, the system had already spoken again.
[Congratulations to the player for unlocking the eldest lady's 'die-hard believer'
Die-hard believer*1
Type: Player
Current level: Evil creature
Skill: Prophet
Tips: After the faith ceremony is completed, the more the believers give, the greater the protection they will receive. If the young lady does not protect or harms the believers, she will be retaliated. If the believers choose to betray, they will also be retaliated. 】
The content of this passage had some impact on Nanhuan.
What religious rituals?
Will players become their own believers, or will they be lifelong?
Why is the player's level an evil creature?
shelter?
What protection can you give to others?
Backlash?
How do you measure this kind of thing?
"It seems that you have confirmed that there is nothing wrong with me."
The woman had turned her head away without knowing when. She looked at Nan Huan with a pious gaze. She clenched her only remaining right fist and placed it on her left chest, bowing slightly towards Nan Huan.
Her hair was tangled because she hadn't washed it for a long time, her clothes were tattered, and she didn't have a left hand.
But when she did this action, she was very graceful.
It seems like I have done it thousands of times and it has been engraved in my bones.
"My name is Lingyue, my personal skill is Prophet, I would like to recommend myself to go into the next instance with you."
Ever since she spotted Nan Huan, her eyes had been on him, and she hadn't even glanced at Bei Xi.
After saying this, she seemed to want to move forward a little, closer to Nanhuan.
Bei Xi, who was standing by, couldn't help but stood in front of the other person and said, "Just talk if you want to. Don't get so close."
Lingyue didn't mind Beixi's interruption. To be more precise, she didn't take the president seriously at all.
I was just worried that my sudden approach would make Nan Huan feel uncomfortable.
After Bei Xi's interruption, Nan Huan finally reacted.
The opponent's prophet's skills and the question he asked me at the beginning may have exposed my skills to her.
But this naked trust shows that the other party is really not being mysterious.
"You use the prophet's skills. Can you see my or other people's skills?"
Nan Huan was a little curious. After all, she didn't know there were other players with this skill, and she wasn't sure what the prophet could predict.
Lingyue was very happy to answer Nanhuan's questions.
"No, the initial skill of a prophet is to be able to see what will happen at a certain point in the future. I will see what happens in that scene. Apart from that, I don't know anything else."
"I just guessed that you have the ability to judge whether there is anything wrong with me."
When Lingyue spoke, her eyes were always on Nanhuan.
Because there were still some stains on her face, Nan Huan couldn't tell her exact age, but just looking at her eyes, she should be very young.
In addition, she spoke each word with great effort, and it was obvious that she was struggling.
While trying to block her view of Nan Huan, Bei Xi finally figured out why this person would talk to Nineteen about the things in the "Perfect New World" copy.
At first she thought it was her fans who gave up on cooperating with her.
Now it seems that it may be related to the skills of the other party's prophet.
But Bei Xi was a little confused. This was the first time she had seen a skill like the Prophet in her three years in the game.
And logically speaking, this skill is actually very practical.
Whether it is an individual battle or a team battle, seeing what will happen in the future in advance is like taking an exam tomorrow. You know the content in advance and still have time to cheat. It is really useful.
But this person was able to disappear in the game for such a long time, and now appears here.
unless--
"Why do you want to go with us to the next instance? To be honest, we don't even know where the next instance is. Why do you think we need you to join us?"
Nan Huan had the same thought in her mind as Bei Xi, but she avoided that question and asked something else instead, "Or, what did you see using your skills?"
"After using the prophet's skill, you cannot reveal it to others, nor can you arbitrarily change what is about to happen, otherwise the user will suffer the backlash of the skill."
Lingyue didn't hesitate at all and told the truth within the scope of what she could tell.
Nan Huan and Bei Xi's gazes unconsciously moved towards each other's empty sleeve.
After Lingyue gave the known conditions, it became easy to understand why the other party suddenly came to the door and had no news at all before.
She used her skills and saw some future.
For some reasons, she has been living her life invisibly, waiting for this day.
But Nan Huan didn’t understand why Lingyue trusted him so much when he had never met her before.
Even if something really happened in the future she saw, it wouldn't mean that she would have such high trust in herself in advance?
"Have you known me before?"
Nan Huan asked very rigorously, making sure that the opponent would not trigger any backlash from his skills.
Lingyue shook her head, "I don't know him."
But her light brown pupils seemed to glow with a strange color that Nan Huan could not understand.
[Do players need to understand religious rituals? ]
The system broadcast for a long time, and seeing that Nan Huan had no intention of using any skills, it couldn't help but urge him again.
Not for now.
Nan Huan refused without even thinking about it.
It’s not that she doubted Lingyue’s trustworthiness. After all, these were numbers calculated by the system and could not be faked.
It's not that she feels that having a believer is like having a burden.
The person standing in front of her is just a living player. Once this ceremony is completed, the other party will need to be loyal to her for life.
Although it is not loyalty between partners, it seems inappropriate for her to make a unilateral decision on this kind of relationship.
And strictly speaking, the two had just met.
"We need to discuss joining the dungeon. Can you stay here for the next few days?"
Nan Huan had asked all the questions she could ask, and any further questions she asked would be questions the other party couldn't answer, so she suggested that the other party stay for a few days while she went back to discuss it with Bei Xi.
Lingyue didn't care about Nanhuan's attitude at all. She nodded without any objection, as if to confirm that the other party would definitely agree.
Nineteen appeared at the right time, ready to take everyone to the guest rooms in the annex to settle down first.
Lingyue followed him for two steps, then seemed to remember something, and turned back to ask Nanhuan, "While I'm staying here, can I play with the puppy downstairs?"
"sure."
Nan Huan felt that she was probably no older than twelve years old. Her occasional delicate look made her look like a little girl, but she was very tall.
After Nineteen left, Bei Xi quickly called Twelve over and gave him several instructions.
Nan Huan listened and thought that he wanted to check Lingyue's experience in the game based on her name and characteristics.
Although judging from the level of trust, Nan Huan has basically believed Ling Yue, it is always better to be cautious.
While they were talking, she walked to the windowsill where the other person was leaning.
When I looked down, I saw Lingyue playing frisbee with the hound.
The hound, who had just been indifferent to everyone else, obviously liked this new stranger very much.
The man and the dog played for a long time before Lingyue hugged the hound and said something before leaving.
