Chapter 217: The Land of No Return - Resting Place
But before Nan Huan could look down, the system prompt sounded again.
【bite--
The god of time, Hur, has been detected, and his gift to players is supersonic speed.
I am the eldest lady's gift skill*1.
I am the eldest lady.
Gifted Skill: Supersonic Speed (In a limited time, the player can move at an extremely fast speed, and the player's microsecond decision-making is derived in this situation.)
You have obtained a drop of Time Hel's true blood and possess the power she bestowed upon you. This skill can only be used twice in each instance, and each time is limited to half an hour.
Points required for single use: 5000 points]
Supersonic speed? Why does it sound like it has nothing to do with the Chaka Time skill?
What does this microsecond decision mean?
Before she could study it carefully, the system moved on to the next process.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for obtaining the special item - Faith Totem Fragment. 】
Well, it is still a gray piece of plastic. Apart from the different shape, there is no difference because the system informs the player in advance that there are faith totem fragments in this copy.
——
At this time, Bei Xi was still following Time Hull's sight and could feel everything happening around her, but she felt a little bored.
Yes, a bit boring.
She still entered that strange space. The control panel did not respond and her whole body sank into the swamp, unable to move.
But surprisingly, there was no human figure here this time, there was only black fog around, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Unlike the first time, I could feel the danger. There seemed to be nothing here, and it seemed as if the owner was not there.
She tried to leave on her own but couldn't, so she could only hope in her heart that Nan Huan would get it done quickly and wake her up.
At the same time, she noticed some inexplicable coincidence.
It was the same last time at Fengmenling. I don’t know what force went to great lengths to bring me here, but it wasn’t as satisfying as the first time, and it wasn’t in a hurry to take my life.
This time, there was not even a vague shadow.
If it happened once, it could be explained by coincidence, but when these two situations occurred, it just happened that -
Just as she thought of this, she heard Nanhuan's call.
Before she could respond, Bei Xi felt her body slowly disappearing from the entire space. Until her five senses returned, she opened her eyes and saw Nan Huan's worried expression.
But before he could say anything, the system came out to cause trouble.
【bite--
Congratulations to Miss Player for obtaining the Fragment of the Totem of Faith.
Congratulations to Miss Player for obtaining the Fragment of the Totem of Faith.
Congratulations to Miss Player for obtaining the Faith Totem Fragment. 】
"Although I have expected this result, I think it is targeting me on purpose," Bei Xi sat up from Nan Huan's arms, "wanting to make this..."
Before she could finish her words, she vomited a mouthful of black, sticky liquid.
"Are you okay?" Nan Huan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Now I think the system is really a contradiction."
Seeing Bei Xi wake up, Nan Huan's tone became very cheerful, "When I think it's hateful, it will show a little humanity. When you think it may not be as cold as it appears, it becomes a little inhumane."
"So I really can't tell whether it's to make you spit out the fluid or to embarrass me on purpose."
While Nan Huan was speaking, he glanced at the number above Bei Xi's head and found that it had changed as expected.
【100】【60/100】
Compared to the progress on the [30/100] progress bar after the last copy ended, it was pulled up a lot, but as time went by and Hull disappeared, the two numbers were locked again.
Why do I have the illusion that I have become rich all of a sudden?
Nan Huan shook his head, trying not to pay too much attention to these two numbers.
Whether it was Beixi's symptoms or the three reports of the entire game and all dungeons, the players in a guild were very accustomed to them, so they each performed their duties and even made jokes in between.
For the players of Guild Two, this was a fact they witnessed with their own eyes.
After all, the game has reached this point. As Chaka said just now, the past has been changed, so the copy no longer exists to some extent. They were still worried about how to leave and whether this time they had worked in vain.
As a result, because of the system blocking, the players of the second guild didn't know what happened for a while. They only knew that after one of the presidents disappeared, Nan Huan got the fragment of the faith totem, and the familiar president finally woke up.
"Hmm..." President Barbie, who was standing aside, endured for a long time and finally had to ask, "Why don't you two solve the problem at hand first? What should we do? Can we still go back?"
President Barbie did not ask anything about what happened to President Yi or how the eldest lady got the fragments of the faith totem. After everything that happened, she clearly realized the abilities of President Yi and the eldest lady, and understood that some things are not a matter of fighting over.
As a partner, she knows clearly what she should inquire about herself and what she should not ask about.
So I used this topic to cleverly reveal everything that had just happened.
Nan Huan naturally noticed her thoughtfulness. After helping Bei Xi up, he quickly explained to the others, "Don't worry, I have a way..."
【bite--
It was detected that the conditions of the copy "Mizuki Private High School" had changed, and this online test failed.
The copy "Mizuki Private High School" is permanently closed and will no longer be online.
All players who enter this copy will be forced to log out within five seconds.
5, 4...】
Nan Huan's own method seemed to be useless, and she had not expected this to happen.
However, she noticed the system's wording, "so the players who entered the copy." In other words, because they changed the past, everything that happened to all the players in the copy was changed. The copy no longer existed, and death no longer existed.
Although it didn't matter to Morpheus whether she existed or not, compared to the unhappiness caused by the assassin's sinister villain surviving, Nan Huan was very happy that Ge Yuxin was alive again. From this perspective, this result was not bad.
A golden light flashed, and Nan Huan felt that he was being held in Bei Xi's arms. A familiar feeling of dizziness came over him. This copy was finally over, but it felt like something was missing.
Therefore, when Nan Huan's feet stepped on the floor of the game hall, she seemed a little absent-minded, so she did not notice anything wrong at the first time.
On the contrary, Bei Xi realized something was wrong as soon as she woke up. This was not only because almost all the players in the game hall were focusing their attention on their exit, but also because the remaining players who came out with them looked at them with unfriendly eyes.
Time goes back to a few days ago, to a corner of the virtual hall in the dream.
At that time, because of Morpheus's skills, in addition to the players from Guild One and Guild Two, many players in the rest area were pulled into this dream while they were sleeping.
Because they wanted to get the fragments of the Faith Totem, and there was no better opportunity than to get rid of the president when the system was offline and the system rules lost their effect, the game hall fell into chaos for a short time.
Those who took the lead in causing trouble included a group of players mainly from the third guild.
But that night, in addition to the Third Guild President, the Corpse Driven Man, President Hongfen, and President Alice, there was also another president from one of the top ten guilds present.
"President, with such a good opportunity, are we just going to stand here and watch?"
Magic Hand and his president stood behind the pillar, standing on tiptoe trying to see the situation in front of them clearly, while confirming with each other very unwillingly.
But the tall and thin man hiding in the shadows just sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. It was unknown whether he heard what he said or not. At the same time, there were circles of golden light wrapped around his body.
Magic Hand knew that his president seemed to be using a skill, so he waited patiently for a few minutes.
The man finally opened his eyes after less than a quarter of an hour. Golden light shone from his eyes, like two numbers, which were grasped in the man's hands.
He did not hide and opened his palm for the magic hand to see.
"One is 0%, and the other is 50%?" Magic Hand saw two golden numbers on his president's palm and was a little puzzled. "What do these two numbers mean, President?"
The man finally stood up, patted the dirt off his body, and leaned lazily against the pillar. "This is the probability that the president will be killed in the dream today, and the one on the right is the probability of the system coming back online."
"Ah?" Magic Hand froze in place because he was too shocked. He never expected that there would be such an extreme number. "President, could you be wrong? You have never measured such an extreme number. After all, things that are set in stone must be measured with a decimal point. Isn't it said that nothing is absolute in the world? This, this, this... How can it be measured to be 0%? And the president is obviously at a disadvantage now?"
Magic pointed in a direction not far away, with a flash of reluctance in his eyes, but he did not act on his own.
"I've never made any mistakes with this skill. It's impossible for it to fail at this critical moment," the man had a listless look on his face. It was unclear whether it was because he didn't get enough sleep or because the magic hand had just questioned his words.
"Just be a spectator and you will have another chance in the future."
The man didn't give a stern warning, but this sentence still made Magic Hand dare not act rashly. "A 50% chance is not a big probability for a normal thing. I'm just curious about what could cause the system to go offline..."
He didn't say anything else, but just frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
As expected, not long after the riot broke out, the situation was under control by the president. Then, the players in the game hall heard the notification that the system was back online and returned to the rest area.
The episode that night made more people start paying attention to the copy of "Mizuki Private High School".
Some people came because they had fought that night and were afraid that the boss would come out of the dungeon to seek revenge. Some players were simply curious as to why there was a being higher than the system in the game, and it was obvious that the secret must be hidden in the dungeon. Other players were simply here to watch the fun and wanted to know if the young lady would be as lucky as before.
What was different from the past was that every time the young lady entered a dungeon, she would always quickly start the main quest and complete it before logging out. However, the dungeon of "Mizuki Private High School" seemed a little different. For several days in a row, except for the number of survivors steadily decreasing to a certain level, there was no obvious change, and this lasted for several days.
"President, there is still so much information at the moment, we still have to continue..."
In the office of the Seventh Guild, Magic Hand was standing at his desk, reporting the information he had collected from the game hall in the past two days.
Although the president has always been very concerned about the fragments of the faith totem, the president calculated the probability of getting these things from the eldest lady at that time, and it was not a good number, so his idea changed. But that night, I don’t know if he calculated something again, or if the president was just simply curious again. In short, he has been very concerned about the "Mizuki Private High School" copy recently.
But before he could finish his questioning words, the man behind the desk suddenly stood up with such speed and force that the desk shook.
"Today," When he opened his eyes, a golden light flashed, but this time he did not show the result of the calculation to the other party, "Let's go to the game hall now."
After saying this, without waiting for the magic hand to react, he walked straight to the door, as if he was going to fight.
“President, don’t be impulsive, or you will be impulsive,” Magic Hand hurriedly followed. He didn’t dare to reach out to stop him, so he had to say tactfully, “Do you want to bring our people? Even if the chance is higher, we have to be prepared first. Besides, if we want to do it in a place with so many people, not only will the system prohibit it, but the players from other guilds will also be very difficult to deal with… well…”
Before he could finish his words, the person walking in front of him stopped and he bumped into the president due to inertia.
"Who told you we were going to rob something?" The man turned around and looked at him in confusion. "Although we're not going to rob something, you should still bring a few people with you. Something big is going to happen today."
Just like that, when they rushed to the game hall, they just happened to hear the system's announcement about the fact that the eldest lady had obtained the fragment of the faith totem.
The crowd was noisy as they were discussing the matter intensely. The man took a quick glance and saw that almost everyone from the top ten guilds had already rushed over because of the news.
Some came to help, and of course there were also those who came to find trouble and watch the fun.
The eldest lady, a player, got a fragment of the totem of faith. If she had only gotten one piece, if she was not a player from the most powerful guild, if the rumors about her and the guild leader were not so true, if she was not a player who had just entered the dungeon not long ago, perhaps there would not be so many players coming to explain today.
But all this has already happened, and the guild is now a huge target. After experiencing the dream, other players will always find it strange and express dissatisfaction.
The man does not come to join the fight, he comes for some kind of compromise in the system that this dissatisfaction breeds.
The fire is not burning very strongly at the moment. It would be better if we could add some more firewood.
Just as he thought of this, he heard another notification from the system.
【bite--
It was detected that the conditions of the copy "Mizuki Private High School" had changed, and this online test failed.
The copy "Shuimu Private High School" is permanently closed and will no longer be online. 】
"Isn't this the first time the dungeon has been launched? Why did the test suddenly fail?"
Some players took a long time to find their own voice and couldn't help but question it.
"What's so strange about this?" another player said, and then seemed to think that there was something ambiguous in what he said, and hurriedly corrected him, "Didn't I say that this instance that was offline due to a failed test wasn't strange? Don't you know that? There are not many normal instances that the young lady and the guild have visited. I heard that they were either closed or collapsed."
"Haven't you noticed? Ever since the appearance of the eldest lady, the dungeons in this game have been one-time only? So this time it doesn't seem strange. Besides, don't you think the dream that night was even stranger? Something higher than the system could interfere with the system going offline, and it just happened to hit a guild to download this dungeon. Don't you think it's too coincidental?"
"You mean to say..."
"Shhh...be quiet..."
The sound of murmurs came one after another.
Online testing failed?
The copy is permanently closed and no longer online?
The firewood seemed to be added just right. The man didn't care much about the process, but the result seemed just right.
"Look, everyone?" A loud voice in the crowd immediately attracted everyone's attention. "The number of survivors in the dungeon has increased?"
The next second, the blue light of the game exit flashed, and a group of people filed out.
Bei Xi first looked around the exit to confirm that Morpheus and her accomplices were not there, and then she put her arm around Nan Huan.
"Go back first. If you have anything to say, go to the first guild directly."
Bei Xi glanced at President Barbie, who had obviously noticed the unfriendly attitude of the players around her and knew that now was not the time to say anything more. She nodded to Bei Xi and prepared to leave with the players from the second guild who had come to meet her.
But the Assassin Guild President who followed them out in disbelief was the first to start trouble, "President Yi, President Barbie, don't you think you owe us an explanation?"
The Assassin's Guild Leader's mind went blank. He only remembered that they were ejected immediately after entering the game. However, the system's notification and the fact that the young lady obtained the fragments of the faith totem could not be false. Something must have happened that he was not aware of.
Except for the players from Guild One and Guild Two, almost all the remaining players have the same mentality as the assassin player. They clearly participated in the same dungeon, but they can't remember anything. However, others got the fragments of the Totem of Faith and messed around with the dungeon so hard that they were directly offline. The key is that they still can't remember anything. Who can they complain to?
Although they avoided a worse situation because of Chaka, the encounters in the dungeon had actually happened, especially to the players from Guild One and Guild Two.
If it weren't for them, the mission of this dungeon would never be completed and all players would have to waste time in it.
But now they have saved people they were unwilling to save, and they are still being questioned. What's more, the matter cannot be explained in just a few words. The key is the existence of Chaka and the news of the fragments of the faith totem. President Barbie and the players in their guild all know that they cannot reveal it easily, so everyone showed an expression of disgust on their faces.
"What's there to explain?" Bei Xi suppressed his disgust and said to the other party, "I didn't take action after you were rescued. I have done my best."
This warning, like a sharp blade, not only pierced the Assassin's Guild Leader, but also landed firmly on the other players who were eyeing him covetously.
