"But... Brother, Alice is dead? Wait, wait! Isn't she an important character in the story?! How are we supposed to finish the game if she's dead?"
"Who told you that what I wanted was to clear the game?" Arceus turned around, a wicked smile appearing on his lips. "If Jiang Ran wants to clear the game, then let him have it. We each get what we want!"
All creatures in the world of ghost stories were created by gods, but some of these strange creatures are different. They are direct descendants of the gods and possess true divine power, making them much stronger than other strange creatures of the same level!
Arceus's initial purpose in entering this world was to find these strange creatures and steal their power! If he could directly draw out the god behind them, that would be even better.
Aransta's gaze toward Arceus shifted slightly. From beginning to end, neither he nor Laast knew Arceus's true purpose; Arceus had truly kept it a secret from everyone.
He seemed to have never truly understood his brother.
"Brother, Laaste said Alice is almost a god?"
Judging from Jiang Ran's previous live stream replay, the strange creature called "Holy Serpent" revealed the exact strength level of the strange creature for the first time. As the level of "Near God" is second only to "True God", it can be said to be the strongest combat force that can appear in the dungeon. Such a strange creature was easily killed by his brother?
Arceus tapped Aransta on the head.
"Are you wondering why I was able to kill Alice so easily?" Arceus chuckled bitterly. "Easy my foot! If I could kill her so easily, would I have needed to prepare for so long? Those [miracles] almost drained me. I need to rest..."
"Even so, brother, you should still be considered a near-god-level bizarre creature, right?"
"Don't overestimate me..." Arceus shrugged. "If we're talking about combat strength, I'd estimate it's only at the [Uncanny] level. What kind of combat strength could an ordinary ghost possibly have?"
Ordinary
"That?"
“I told you, this is a miracle from the [Remnant Dream].” Arceus tapped Aransta’s forehead. “This is 'reality'.”
"Let's not do anything tonight, let me recover first... Ugh, I feel like I'm about to fall asleep—"
Arceus's figure vanished and then possessed Laaste's body.
"well."
Aransta covered his head. His older brother was terrifying when he was serious, but also speechless when he was unserious.
"Hey! But how am I supposed to survive tonight?!"
If the Night Raven really breaks in, Alice will be gone. Who will stand against him?
On the other side, the mountain's operation on the first day was no different from that of the others; he stayed in the hut to rest.
"Hey, Alice, have you ever seen a 'god'?"
“God?” Alice nodded. “He gave me a new life, but sadly, I haven’t seen Him since.”
"What an irresponsible, hands-off manager!"
"Big brother, don't say that!" Alice clasped her hands together. "God is supreme."
Suddenly, someone on the mountain came closer, scrutinizing Alice's face. Alice took a step back: "What, what are you doing?"
“Your personality is very strange. I rarely meet someone who is sometimes gloomy, sometimes passionate, sometimes devout, and sometimes crazy,” Yamagami said. “Alice, I think you are like something.”
"What is that?"
"A doll pieced together from various parts and patched up."
"doll......?"
Alice seemed to have thought of something and stopped talking.
Goodnight. It's late.
Jiang Ran woke up in the cave. The third day arrived as expected. Laplace stayed by his side, and the carapace on his body seemed to have darkened a little more.
"Are you awake? Set off, bring my daughter to my side, adventurer, I await your good news."
[Rule 8: If you are in the deserted city, please do not damage any electronic devices. Please do not bring up any topics related to "gods" in the deserted city. You are free to move around the city during the day. Once night falls, please refer to Rule 6.]
Perhaps because three rules were announced at once last night, there was only one rule this morning. And this rule was neither about Insect Forest nor Alice's Hut, but instead mentioned the Uninhabited City again.
What makes the uninhabited city different from the other two places?
"Laplace, did you say yesterday that if we had chosen a different path from the beginning, it would have been a certain death?"
“That’s right, you’d better not set foot in that place,” Laplace said slowly. “Because that race has completed a more perfect evolution! It’s a pity, but they are still not as good as ‘gods’!”
"Never mind, I'm not qualified to judge them. Adventurer, you can set off now."
A giant spider crawled in from outside the tunnel.
“I will escort you back. Come on up.”
Jiang Ran has ridden many things in his life, but this is the first time he's ridden a spider!
Gwen was clearly still a little hesitant, so Jiang Ran simply picked her up and sat her down!
"Riding a spider for a spin! Isn't that incredibly cool!"
"Aaaaaah! Are you sure?!?!"
"Hold on tight!"
The giant spider sped up to top speed from the start, and came crashing down like a whirlwind!
"Can we hold on?!"
"No, no problem!"
Jiang Ran looked back and saw a dark shadow rapidly catching up, seemingly even faster than them!
No, an ordinary ghost storyteller's body certainly couldn't withstand the giant spider's full-force charge. Under normal circumstances, they would definitely be devoured by this dark shadow!
This path of turning back is indeed not easy to take!
Only a few seconds passed, and before they had even left the cave, the shadowy figures had already surrounded them!
"Sorry, it seems I'm still not fast enough..."
The giant spider sighed, but Jiang Ran could no longer hear it as the shadow devoured his body!
The giant spider is fine, Gwen is fine; this rule only applies to ghost story tellers.
The shadows dissipated, and Jiang Ran's figure vanished from the spot.
The Dragon Kingdom's live stream room went dark!
"Wait! Where's Brother Jiang?!"
"Don't worry! The live stream isn't over yet! It's just been muted!"
"Cough cough..."
When Jiang Ran opened her eyes again, she was already surrounded by darkness.
Where is this place?
A voice echoed in the darkness—
"That's enough. Stop and rest for a while. You're tired enough."
A hand was placed on Jiang Ran's body.
Turning around, he saw a face that matched his own.
