Chapter 114 Holographic Online Games Are So Cool (Chapter 35)
"Mom, who is that? Is that the Great Demon King?"
A little child knocked over the building blocks and stared blankly at the phantom that appeared in mid-air.
The child's mother hurriedly carried the child back into the room and drew the curtains tightly shut—she remembered the clearest image of that woman? or man?
He was like a Chinese person; besides his overwhelming power, he gave her a sense of security.
Perhaps it was because those who confronted this being were covered in blood, looking like executioners, while the being with black hair and black eyes was clean and refreshing, making people feel comfortable.
Only through comparison can we truly appreciate the difference!
I hope... nothing bad happens! The mother glanced at her child worriedly and sighed silently.
Zhao Liang looked up and saw the Demon King, whom he had never taken seriously. Even if he held the title of Demon King, wasn't he just a newly born elf?
Compared to these seasoned veterans who have lived for hundreds of years, they are nothing!
A follower of the Holy Spirit Cult behind Zhao Liang spoke up: "The Demon King... Ha. He's nothing but a little dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy from that sinner."
"Kill him, and take this opportunity to enter the real world!" Zhao Liang then ordered. Si Yisi's posture clearly told the Holy Spirit Cult members that unless he died, they would not be able to pass through this black hole!
"The Demon King..." the lingering voice murmured, "Has He actually chosen to stand on our side?"
Even the most clueless person could see that the group confronting the Demon King were no good. Their talk of breaking through to the real world was most likely an attempt to invade their world from the game!
One can imagine the bloodshed that would ensue if they actually achieved their goal!
Following this incident, relevant departments quickly sought to contact the official representatives of the Stellar Games...
But unexpectedly, when they arrived at the official registration company for the game, the officials found that the official Stellar Games organization seemed to have never existed!
Those who had previously held positions within the Stellar Game knew absolutely nothing about it. They continued to receive their salaries as usual, but it was as if some mysterious force had distorted their perceptions—
They were convinced that Stellar's company had always existed at that registered address.
But in reality, everyone involved in the investigation knew that... there was only an empty shell there, nothing at all, and no clues could be found.
It's as if stars never existed in the first place.
With the government's official forces suffering a setback, they had to first appease the public and prepare to deal with the attack from the cross-border enemy!
The official forces even dispatched special observers to keep a close watch on the holographic projection that suddenly appeared in the void—ready to launch corresponding rescue measures if the situation worsened.
This is an enemy from another world!
Most of the players were also completely bewildered. Liejiu Qinghan, who was associated with this wave of enemies, and the players he captured were invited for tea. Luo Xinxiu naturally did not escape either.
However, because the Demon King associated with him can be considered the protector of all humanity, Luo Xinxiu was not subjected to any severe interrogation.
When he bumped into the haggard-looking Ye Shangliang, he was able to smile nonchalantly and walk past him.
He has long since lost his chance to turn things around, so what value does he still have to be noticed?
Compared to the ups and downs of the outside world, Si Yisi felt as if she were immersed in warm water, feeling exceptionally comfortable in both body and mind!
The Holy Spirit Cult on the other side had all gone all out, each one more ruthless than the last, but... how could this possibly be a problem for Si Yisi?!
Si Yisi did not stop, nor did he have any intention of deliberately dragging the players into playing house with them—the power of the Demon King fully cooperated with Si Yisi's actions!
He no longer uses a physical bow, but instead uses the power of the Demon King to condense a nearly solid bow and arrow, or directly uses his flexible body as a bow!
Drawing himself into a fully drawn bow, like a bright and flawless moon, Si Yisi became the weapon at this moment...
It was a chaotic battle, but it was exhilarating enough, with every punch landing with a visceral impact! The Demon King always had a faint smile on his lips, and the Holy Spirit Cult later realized that it was because Si Yisi was completely confident.
Underestimating the Demon King will come at a price...
The price they have to pay is something they value more than life itself: freedom!
When Si Yisi tied the Holy Spirit Sect followers into a chain and dragged them along the ground, several followers, led by Zhao Liang, suddenly began to struggle frantically!
They broke their wrists by sheer force, and in some cases, bones even pierced through their bodies, exposing bright red flesh and blood!
The believer, in this reckless manner, plunged directly into the now-stagnant hole—
Freya's words were cut off. The next moment, Si Yisi and everyone watching outside saw several figures fall from the hole like dumplings.
Before people outside could even cry out in alarm, the followers of the Holy Spirit Sect, who had traveled through a world, let out a pitiful scream...
Instantly reduced to ashes!
Not even a trace of it remained!
Both worlds fell into a deathly silence—a deathly silence, nothing but deathly silence!
People outside didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Did this mean that a potential threat from another world had been eliminated in the blink of an eye?! But why did this happen?
Freya sighed deeply, her eyes filled with a sense of vicissitude.
She straightened her back again and looked at the stunned Holy Spirit Cult members. Even Si Yisi looked at her with curiosity.
“I remember now—” Freya said, “We are all remnants of the old era, and once we leave this world, death awaits us.”
As she spoke, Freya's gaze drifted in a distant direction, startling those outside who felt as if she were looking directly at them through the entire world!
Freya didn't seem to care at all if outsiders heard these things. Because... it actually had something to do with people in the so-called real world!
Si Yisi sized up Freya.
His expression remained unchanged, as if he were listening to a mundane story.
But for people outside the world, this is something that makes them rethink their worldview—that there was a buried era before their recorded history!
It was an era of highly developed technology, and technologies such as holographic online games had reached perfection, almost forming their own world... a completely new world.
But a terrible plague broke out in that era, a plague that swept the entire world, which originated from a malicious attack by another extremely aggressive and invasive race!
Freya was once a citizen of that era—citizens of that era were naturally unwilling to perish, and they raised their battle flags to resist the invasion of that other civilized race!
Ultimately, that era triumphed, but at a heavy price—
It was buried.
Freya and several of her comrades faced a life-or-death situation when someone proposed a seemingly impossible but ingenious idea—to bring their minds into a holographic game to escape their pursuers!
They succeeded!
The holographic game that Freya and her friends entered was set against the backdrop of gods, whose images corresponded to the heroes fighting against alien races.
“We tried to leave this world afterward,” Freya said softly, “but as you can see—my comrades who entered the real world first all vanished like this.”
“There’s a question,” Si Yisi suddenly interjected, his tone pointed, “What about you guys?”
He was referring to Freya and the followers of the Holy Spirit sect.
How could they have forgotten all these things without any unexpected circumstances? So... the most likely explanation is—
Freya glanced at Siss: "As expected of... the King." For a moment, her eyes sparkled again.
“Actually, all of us comrades should have been wiped out. But as the last one to be cut off, I seem to have become a very special existence.” Freya said with a bitter smile, “I retained my remaining consciousness and collected the remaining…souls of my comrades?”
She is a lucky person.
“Without a body, the soul cannot exist for long,” Freya said. “So I took their fragmented souls into other bodies.”
“They all became completely different people because of their rebirth, and I am no exception… I am now just a remnant of an old era,” Freya said slowly. “I am just an obsession.”
"My comrades' rebirth went awry. They could clearly sense the unreality of this world, and thus the so-called God of Truth was born in response to their hopes. They wanted to escape this world. My purpose is to completely cut off their possibility of leaving this world."
“Because…” Freya was no longer sad; she was stating the facts, “leaving this world was a failed attempt.”
"To leave is to die."
Freya finished recounting everything—and the outside world was in an uproar! This revelation was too...surreal?
In short, it's like something out of a novel! But the gaping hole that stretches to the sky is not fake.
The "invaders" were actually people who had fought and bled for that era?
But suddenly, the projection in front of people disappeared—Si Yisi used a special method to block out the perception of the other world.
He secretly asked Freya, "Why does your comrade have the idea of entrusting his spirit to the holographic world?"
"At that time, he obtained..." Freya recalled, "the existence of a system with extremely high intelligence."
"At that time, we were already at our wits' end, so we accepted it without thinking." Looking back now, we were probably driven crazy and didn't even have time to think.
system.
really……
Si Yi thought to himself, this system is probably not one of those systems that have a legitimate channel like theirs. Just like a host who has defected, a system can also become abnormal due to being suppressed.
The system actually has another way of upgrading itself: devouring. That's why Si Yisi subconsciously felt disgusted.
He sensed the undisguised "appetite" lingering in that system.
This should explain why Freya was able to vaguely remember Luo Xinxiu's previous life—she had dealt with the system before, so she was naturally immune to the re-enactment of this world by the system to a certain extent.
She's truly a lucky person... yet also an unfortunate one.
Si Yi was thinking when he suddenly made a move—he stroked Freya's head soothingly, like petting a kitten.
"Thanks for your hard work."
He said.
