Chapter 207: Continuing Hope
What was different from Han Chong’s death was that after Gao Lin and the other two were killed by Lou Su, they didn’t even have corpses. They directly turned into three white light balls and flew into the sky.
"It really feels like they have turned into stars." Bai Jinli sighed with a somewhat sad tone when he saw the white ball of light.
Then he looked at Lou Suo in a reproachful manner, "He's not your teammate, you're really ruthless, aren't you? You didn't hesitate at all. When you meet Ling Yao and the others later, you should be mentally prepared!"
Lou Su didn't look at him. He pointed at the night sky with his trembling hand after killing someone he knew, "Look, the hole has gotten much bigger!"
Although it was dark now, the color of the hole was darker than the night sky and could be seen at a glance. Now, after three more light balls flew up, the sky was actually broken by nearly one-third of its area. More importantly, the distance between the sky and them had actually shortened visibly to the naked eye!
"When the area is expanded further, will the sky be within our reach? Can we go out?" Bai Jinli asked.
The way they cleared the dungeon this time was really special; they got out in a physical sense.
"Let's go and find other people." Seeing hope, Lou Su instantly felt full of strength.
Next, the two of them had to travel through the mountains and forests, but fortunately, this was not a difficult task for them.
They can even chat about what happened while they are on their way.
"What did he say to Gao Lin before I killed Zhou Quan?" Lou Su was a little curious.
Originally Gao Lin knew that he was going to die soon, and his face showed a bitter and resentful expression, but after Zhou Quan leaned over and said something to him, he smiled.
"I like you." said Bai Jinli.
When Lou Su heard these four words, he was almost tripped by a stone.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm answering your question. This is what Zhou Quan said to Gao Lin at the end." Bai Jinli was relatively close to the three people at the time, and Lou Su was somewhat reluctant to take action, so he was quite far away and didn't hear anything at all.
Although Bai Jinli did not hear clearly what Zhou Quan said, he could guess the answer based on the questions the two asked him and Gao Lin's final smile.
Zhou Quan said here that he likes Gao Lin, which can be regarded as an answer to the future Gao Lin, right?
The two of them moved very fast and in a straight line, and soon they found Sun Ye who was organizing a group of people to build a base.
His current ability level is not high, but he can change the soil and resist the attacks of the green-haired wolves, so the ordinary people who follow him listen to him very much, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they worship him like a god.
"Just kill him directly, and then we'll go find Ling Yao nearby." The two of them hid in the woods and locked onto Sun Ye's position from a distance.
This wind blade at this distance can easily kill Sun Ye.
"In fact, he did save a lot of people by building this base." Seeing those people building the base in the night wind, Bai Jinli sighed slightly.
"I was a normal person before I met you." Lou Su said and threw an invisible wind blade towards Sun Ye.
The wind blade circled around Sun Ye's neck and cut his throat from the other direction.
"Brother Sun!" Seeing Sun Ye fall down holding his neck, everyone around was shocked.
Most of them now don't have superpowers, and even if they do, they have just awakened, so they have no idea about Sun Ye's death.
Moreover, the person following the stairs deliberately changed direction, and no one even glanced towards the woods where they were hiding.
Seeing a white ball of light emerging from Sun Ye's body and flying into the sky, Lou Su and Bai Jinli turned around and left mercilessly.
"What do you mean by what you said just now?" Bai Jinli asked Lou Su.
"It is obvious that Sun Ye, like Wan Ming and Han Chong, is just a puppet of the plot," said Lou Su.
Bai Jinli finally responded, "Indeed."
Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for a normal person to behave so differently before and after.
"Do you think the plot has anything to do with Xiao Chou? Is the plot more advanced, or is Xiao Chou above the plot?" Bai Jinli asked curiously.
"I guess Xiao Chou has no way to control the plot. It just uses the plot to restrict Xi Hen. From the beginning, it has been misleading Xi Hen and making him think that he is just a short-lived cannon fodder in this world. In this way, no one can stop it from doing whatever it wants in this world." Lou Su said.
Bai Jinli laughed sarcastically: "It was on guard against Chu Xihen everywhere, but unexpectedly a mutant who had awakened the ability to go back in time appeared. It must be regretful for dragging you into the dungeon, right?"
When Xiao Chou pulls people into the dungeon, he screens them first. He will directly avoid those who he thinks are threatening to him and those who are likely to pass the level.
After a lot of screening, it finally selected Lou Su into the copy.
The funniest thing is that the reason why Lou Su was pulled into the dungeon out of despair was because Chu Xihen was seriously ill and was about to die.
Xiao Chou tried every means to kill Chu Xihen, but he dragged Lou Su, who wanted Chu Xihen to live at all costs, into the dungeon and let him complete the game.
"So what is going to happen will happen sooner or later and there is no way to avoid it." Lou Su also sneered.
Xiao Chou worked hard for a long time, but in the end he was still just a little Chou.
"But talking about this reminds me of one thing. The information we saw said that Chu Xihen is hope. He himself will not feel despair, and will definitely not be consumed by despair, right? Then why did he go crazy when you made the first wish and exchanged your life for his survival?" Bai Jinli couldn't figure this out.
If Chu Xihen had not fallen into extreme despair, how could he have become mentally ill?
Lou Su's eyes darkened slightly. "Do you still remember what was written in the research log? They HBP said there was no hope, but when Xihen was taken out of the stone for the last time, a researcher casually said that he hoped Xihen could live to the age of twenty."
"Remember, so what?" Bai Jinli didn't understand the point the person above wanted to make.
"That researcher's words were hope, and they allowed Xi Hen to live to the age of twenty. That's also why his body was corroded by those drugs in the research institute. He could only live for three years, but he insisted on living to the age of eighteen. In fact, even if I didn't bring him the drugs from the dungeon when I entered the game, he would still be able to live to the age of twenty. Although his life was difficult, because those were the first words he heard when he was born, and the only hope he got, he had to live to that time no matter what."
Bai Jinli understood now, "When he was 20, he had used up the little hope he had when he was born. But he met you, and you tried desperately to help him survive, so you helped him continue to have hope. But the days after 20 were blank for him. He didn't know how to survive at all. Even the person who gave him hope was gone. So his mind became confused?"
"It's not a mental disorder. It's more like he's adapting to this world again." Lou Su thought of Chu Xihen, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. "He is the hope of our human race. How could he be defeated by despair just because I'm gone?"
