Chapter 147 Isn’t the end of the world?
"It's the soul!" Gu Xingxie understood immediately after hearing what Su Lianshan and his wife said, "Whether it's the copy before the end of the world or the current infinite game merging with reality, it's all because Xiao Chou needs human souls!"
"But its birth is the result of an abnormal transaction. It cannot directly plunder human souls, but can only drag desperate people into the dungeon. Otherwise, with so many people entering the dungeon, why can only one person fulfill his wish?" Gu Xingxie asked everyone.
Gu Xingxie is not a survivor of the game and knows very little about the disappeared Infinite Game, but after entering the dungeon this time, he can probably restore the prototype of the game.
"Being able to help people fulfill their wishes is just a gimmick. The purpose is to attract more people to enter the game, and then die in the game. The souls of those who died in the game are taken away by it!" Gu Xingxie became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had touched upon the truth of the coming of the end of the world.
"You are making it more and more mysterious." Ling Yao got goosebumps all over her body, and then asked Gu Xingxie: "What can that little ugly creature do by taking away human souls? Even if it is so powerful, isn't it still a little ugly creature?"
"He integrated the copy with reality." Chu Xihen said.
Gu Xingxie nodded, "Yes, before the end of the world, although the infinite game existed, only a very small number of people who were in despair were pulled into it. However, as more and more people died in the dungeon, Xiao Chou's ability became stronger and stronger, and he even created the end of the world, allowing the monsters in his dungeon to invade reality!"
"You mean its power increased because it collected the souls of those dead people?" Su Lianshan asked.
Chu Xi said in a crying voice: "It can be said that it can just kill people directly, but it still wants everyone to awaken their superpowers. It's a good guy!"
"If it only takes away without giving any benefits, there will be no transaction and it will cease to exist." Gu Xingxie explained to Chu Xichi.
Mei Hanshuang also joined the discussion, "I think Master Gu's analysis makes sense."
She looked at her husband and asked, "Do you remember how I entered the dungeon?"
"Of course I remember." Su Lianshan said, "I was pulled into the dungeon out of despair because my legs could not be cured. I should be considered one of the first people to enter the dungeon. The first two dungeons were quite simple, but the death rate suddenly increased in the third dungeon. Almost no one came out of the third dungeon alive. Then Xiao Chou offered a condition that as long as everyone pulled one person into the dungeon, they could avoid death this time..."
Relying on the human collapse and despair to enter the dungeon, the number is still too small for Xiao Chou, so it created a third dungeon, allowing those who have tasted the sweetness in the dungeon to actively bring despair to those who are close to them and trust them.
"And you dragged your wife into the dungeon?" Chu Xi's face was full of contempt.
Su Lianshan did not deny it. Mei Hanshuang said, "I took the initiative to let him drag me into the dungeon. I couldn't bear to see him die in the dungeon. But who knew that I encountered the same situation when I passed the third dungeon. Then I dragged Xiaoxue, who was only ten years old at the time."
Su Xue held Mei Hanshuang's hand and said, "I volunteered to do this. If I hadn't gotten up in the middle of the night and overheard your conversation, you would have left me. And you protected me very well after I entered the dungeon, so I didn't suffer much."
"Well, a family should be together." Chu Xiqi finished his comment and turned to ask Chu Xihen, "Then how did you get into the dungeon? Was it because after leaving the institute's drugs, your body functions completely collapsed and you were desperate, so you were pulled in?"
Without the support of drugs from the research institute, the bodies that have been subjected to the experiments can only maintain normality for three years at most. After three years, all functions of the body begin to collapse, as if one were suffering from multiple terminal illnesses at the same time, counting the days until death. Who would not despair in such a situation?
But Chu Xihen's answer was beyond Chu Xichen's expectations.
He said, "I was dragged into the dungeon by someone, the paper man Xu Jin you just saw."
"Is it him?!" Chu Xichen stood up suddenly. She found that Xiao Yan's body was still lying there and had not disappeared. This further confirmed what Chu Xichen said, that Xiao Yan was not dead yet.
Chu Xichi's anger was ignited again. He rushed forward bravely, took out the dagger and stabbed Xiao Yan's heart a few more times.
She originally wanted to stab Xu Jin with these knives, but Xu Jin was already dead, and now even his paper figurine was burned by Chu Xihen, so she could only vent her anger on Xu Jin's lover.
"That's enough, your new clothes are all dirty. Let's not argue with a corpse!" Ling Yao ran over and stopped Chu Xishi from whipping the corpse.
"Then who did you pull in when you got to the third dungeon, Brother Chu?" Su Xue felt that pulling people into the dungeon was not shameful, so she didn't quite understand why Chu Xiqi was angry.
Chu Xi hated Xu Jin for dragging Chu Xihen into the dungeon, but didn’t Chu Xihen do the same thing?
Su Lianshan smiled and rubbed Su Xue's head: "The boss probably didn't drag anyone else into the dungeon. He was the one who cleared the third level for the first time, and he also announced the way to clear the level, breaking the situation where everyone was stuck at the third level and maliciously dragged people into the dungeon."
"Is that so? I'm sorry, Brother Chu." Su Xue apologized quickly.
Chu Xihen didn't care about the little girl's guess. At that time, everyone was stuck at the third level. Those who were given the death DEBUFF in the dungeon were all thinking about how to pull others into the dungeon to avoid their own death, but few people spent their time thinking about clearing the dungeon.
At that time, apart from Xu Jin, he had no one who could be called a friend, and he had never thought of harming anyone else.
But for him, entering the game was much better than waiting to die outside, so he never blamed Xu Jin for that incident, and was even somewhat grateful to him for giving him such an opportunity.
"But what does what you said have to do with this copy? Wasn't the first thing you wanted to discuss why Xiao Chou wanted to create this copy that was integrated with reality?" Ling Yao scratched the back of his itchy head. He seemed like he was going to grow a brain.
"I have two guesses." Gu Xingxie raised two fingers. "First: the copies it prepared were used up. After all, you have already completed many copies in that game, so it can only use local materials. It helps the dead to turn their last wishes into copies, and then collects their souls."
Ling Yao pressed down one of his fingers after hearing this, "What about the second one?"
Gu Xingxie continued, "Second, the thief may have done something to it while it was trying to hunt it down, causing it to run out of power and unable to open its own copy. It can only use this method to generate a new copy. As the old saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep, right? It uses real events to make copies and asks us to clear them. To put it bluntly, humans are fighting against themselves."
"Judging from Xiao Chou's hatred for the time thief, I am more inclined to the second guess." Chu Xihen affirmed Gu Xingxie's words.
"Then as long as we don't enter the copy, Xiao Chou will not be able to increase his strength, right? If it doesn't have enough strength, it can't continue to fuse. Now the rest of us are all superpowered people. If we unite and kill all the alien species outside, then the apocalypse will be over, right?" Ling Yao said excitedly.
