"Our ancestors built the 'Black Wall' to isolate the dome from the outside world. The 'Black Wall' separates the dome from the outside world to prevent the curse from leaking out." She said with a calm look in her eyes:
"…So, for the past few hundred years, none of us has been able to leave here. From birth to death, we have lived our entire lives on this polluted land. Each of us has an indelible curse on us."
Su Mingan was shocked after hearing this.
He didn't expect that the people living in this dome of land would shoulder such a mission.
The people here actually chose to actively build a barrier to guard against the dangerous curse and prevent it from polluting the outside world.
The price is that all of them, generation after generation, including their parents, children, and their children's children... must live in this cursed world.
They will never be able to see the beautiful and pure world outside in their entire life.
Perhaps because he looked unhappy, Siberia walked closer to him.
"In fact, the curse is not a completely bad thing." She said, "Because of its existence, many of us have gained powerful powers that outsiders cannot possess, such as the ability to control fire and ice elements... Those guides are the outstanding ones among us. Of course, if we need to use these powers, the curse will be affected, which is why we are not willing to take action."
"Are you also cursed?" Su Mingan asked.
Siberia was silent for a moment.
The night wind blew up her bright red hood, revealing a few strands of her white hair.
After a moment, she said "hmm" very softly.
"Local people like us...are born with a curse. The curse will always lurk in us. When the curse breaks out, people will definitely die." She said, "But before the curse breaks out, we locals will also use some methods to delay the final time of the curse. The curse on most people may never break out in their lifetime. They will only enjoy the power brought by the curse before it breaks out. Of course, you outsiders have no resistance. If you are infected with the curse, you will definitely die quickly, so I hope you will take my words seriously."
Su Mingan frowned slightly.
For a moment he didn't know how to start.
People in this world have a time-bomb-like curse on them since they were born. They don't know when it will break out and suddenly take their lives...
They can't even control their own lives, and can only try their best to delay the onset of the curse.
This bomb hanging over them could take their lives at any time.
This kind of world... is indeed extremely tormenting.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw her approach him and stare into his eyes.
"So," she said, "--Don't underestimate the black fog and cursed creatures. You will die, understand? Don't think that you can ignore the curse just because you are the strongest adventurer--even the strongest guide among us will die if the curse takes effect. Death is fair to everyone."
"Then...you said that in this battle, the guide who survives last can go to the outside world. Is that true?" Su Mingan said.
"Yes." Siber nodded: "In fact, this Hundred Man War is not the first one. Before that, the Dome Land would hold such a Hundred Man War every twenty years, and the winner who survived in the end really passed through the black wall and went to the outside world."
After hearing her words, Su Mingan realized that the worldview of this world was not as simple as he had imagined.
Originally, he thought that this was just a small world for the 100 players to fight in. Those "guides" were just extras to make this dungeon more fun.
But now he realized that this was not the case at all.
...This is clearly an extremely independent world with a complete worldview.
And those guides are also living people. They all have their own thoughts and wishes. They participate in this battle and have their own beliefs and purposes.
They have a cooperative relationship with the players, not a vassal relationship.
Such battles have occurred not just once, but more than a dozen or even twenty times...
As for Siber's session, it was the most special one, because they suddenly had a group of players summoned to help them. In previous sessions, contestants fought alone, and there was no such thing as a guide.
"Every twenty years, the Hundred Gods will issue an oracle to select one hundred contestants from each tribe. The one who survives can remove the curse from his body, pass through the black wall, and go to the outside world without the curse." Siber said: "As for the death of the Hundred Gods... that happened five years ago."
Su Mingan listened quietly.
He knew that this was the key world information he had fought for after gaining Siber's trust, and Siber would only tell him once.
Once he lost her trust, she would stop talking.
"Five years ago, a large curse that looked like a living creature suddenly appeared in the sky, and the sky was in danger." Siber said, "At that time, the Hundred Gods, who originally existed only in legends, actually appeared in front of the tribesmen, and their entire body was covered in a strong white light. In the prayers of the tribesmen, they turned into the sky that blocked the curse, sacrificed themselves, and saved all the tribesmen..."
She spoke very slowly and her face looked too pale, like a weak person who had been ill for a long time. While she was speaking, she put away her defensiveness and wildness and looked like a little girl.
