Chapter 131 Buffer Zone (1)
The "god" before him seemed to sense the unkindness in Mo Qianhe's tone and asked without much emotion, "You seem a little dissatisfied with this?"
Mo Qianhe smiled coldly and said, "It's not 'some', it's a lot."
Before the other party could ask, Mo Qianhe listed them one by one:
"First, although I know you're well-intentioned in 'sharing' the opportunity to go to 'Heaven,' have you ever considered that dragging everyone into 'the 18th level of Hell' without their consent is a bit too dictatorial?
"Perhaps many people simply don't want to go through this series of torture and then 'ascend to become gods'?
"Not to mention that most people are 'eliminated' before they even reach 10,000 points. So, isn't this suffering in vain?"
"Second, if you want companions so badly, why don't you just have more children of your own? Why do you have to drag us along?
"Third, since the so-called 'rebirth' is entering the 'heaven' of the four-dimensional world, why do you use ambiguity when describing players entering the '18th level of Hell' instead of being straightforward and clear?
"Fourth, since you were the ones who led souls into the '18th Level of Hell,' are you aware that many souls are stuck in the chaotic area between the 'human world' and 'hell,' unable to live or die? Why don't you clean up the mess you created?
"My little salty fish died young in order to transfer the soul.
"Five, since the players' souls cannot be controlled by you except when they are stimulated by energy, and their life and death are determined by you at other times, then why do you allow players to die in the dungeon? Can't you let them continue to live?"
The huge figure across from him seemed to finally be intrigued by Mo Qianhen. His voice rose a little as he spoke with some appreciation, "Very interesting. If you can enter the 'Heaven Realm' in the future, you will definitely make the '18th Layer of Hell' even better."
Then, "God" began to answer Mo Qianhe's questions one by one:
“The first problem was indeed our lack of consideration.
"In our observations of 'human beings,' or our fellow human beings, when facing death, if anyone is asked whether they are willing to pay a price to have a chance to continue living, even if the road ahead is full of dangers and difficulties, their answer is 'yes'.
"At least in our observations, there are no exceptions.
"I think you can understand this."
Mo Qianhe's eyes flashed. Of course he had to enter the "18th level of Hell", otherwise how could he find Xiao Xianyu.
The giant figure continued, "However, since you mentioned it, we will offer a 'renunciation' option to souls entering the '18th Layer of Hell' in the future.
"The second question is, we humans in the four-dimensional world cannot reproduce. But not all creatures in the four-dimensional world cannot reproduce.
"Creatures originally born into this world can reproduce. Only we 'outsiders' are unable to continue our bloodline.
“It also makes us need companions even more.”
Mo Qianhe nodded: "I see. So compared to us needing you, you need us more. Perhaps in the four-dimensional world, you are more isolated and helpless than us."
The God nodded. "Yes, although our abilities seem powerful in the three-dimensional world, in the four-dimensional world, we are just like ants."
Mo Qianhe showed sympathy on his face. He always felt that the so-called "ascending to become a god" was not that amazing. Instead, it was quite pitiful.
The giant figure opposite began to answer the third question: "Regarding the description of the 'four-dimensional world', our existence in the four-dimensional world cannot be accurately conveyed to the three-dimensional world.
"This is a rule set by some higher-level world. Every higher-level world cannot pass down overly precise information, and can only provide hints through some ambiguous descriptions.
“Otherwise, the message won’t get through.
"Our names are similar. They carry information unique to the four-dimensional world and cannot be conveyed to humans in the three-dimensional world."
Mo Qianhe frowned when he heard this: "Then why can you tell me this now?"
The other party replied, "Because you are now in the buffer zone between two planes of existence. In this place, you can listen to the Oracle."
Mo Qianhe proposed a method to fix the bug: "Then you tell me here, and I will return to the three-dimensional world to pass the information on, right?"
The God shook his head and denied it. "Once you leave this buffer zone and return to the three-dimensional world, you in the three-dimensional world will be unable to handle this information and will forget it. You may even forget some of your own memories."
Mo Qianhe thought of Liu Tang and asked, "So Xiao Xianyu is Liu Tang. Is this why he forgot his past? Because he's been to this place and returned to the '18th level of Hell'?"
"This is only partly due to his complete amnesia," the other person replied. "Most of it is because he coveted a 'privilege'."
Liu Tang remembered.
He made a request to "God" at that time.
He requested that he not go to "heaven", but that his soul return to the human world to continue his interrupted life.
This condition is feasible for Liu Tang.
Because he is different from others, his body in the human world is not completely dead, but has fallen into an endless sleep, like a vegetative state.
So it is not impossible to get his soul back to his body.
"Your innate ability allows you to see even more of the ugliness of human nature. You should be well aware that the 'human world' we were born into is filled with filth.
"Even so, you are unwilling to leave?" "God" asked him at that time.
Liu Tang smiled and replied, "There is darkness in the world, but I have also seen light. I don't think the place where I live is as bad as you say. I like it there."
"And... I can't leave yet. I owe that person an answer."
So God gave him a test, sending him back to the "18th Layer of Hell" to explore the darkness of human nature as a dungeon boss. If he still wishes to return to the human world after earning 10,000 exploration points, then his wish will be fulfilled.
Liu Tang then made a new request: "Then I want you to give me an additional skill, or a prop that can be used for a long time."
"What?"
Liu Tang thought for a moment and said, "Although I believe that person won't enter the '18th Layer of Hell' before I have accumulated 10,000 exploration points. But if the worst happens and he enters the '18th Layer of Hell' early and I return to the human world, that would be too embarrassing.
"In order to avoid missing him, I still need to set up a safety measure. For example, can I get a prompt when he enters here?"
The other party paused for a moment before speaking: "If you were to bring a special item back to the '18th Layer of Hell', the information you can bring back with you would be squeezed out, and you might forget your past.
"'Hell 18th Layer' will also impose certain restrictions on you due to your exceptional request, including but not limited to blocking your past information and making it impossible for other players to observe you...
"In that case, are you sure it will still be useful even if you receive the prompt?"
Liu Tang thought for a moment. He couldn't decide whether he would forget Boss Mo, and how he would understand the prompts after forgetting him.
So he suggested: "How about...give him a hint?"
"God" was silent.
After a long while, the other party finally asked, "If he receives the hint, are you sure he'll come looking for you? You have to understand that by the time he enters the '18th level of Hell,' he might have already lived a long life. To him, you might just be a passing visitor."
Liu Tang shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but I have to try."
The "god" raised his hand and gave Liu Tang an "ear", saying: "Since you already have the 'Eye of the King of Hell', I will give you the 'Ear of the King of Hell'.
"This ear will automatically bind to the person you are looking for when they enter the 18th level of Hell.
"After that, no matter where he is, he will be able to hear the voice in your heart and find you."
Liu Tang looked at the props in his hand and hesitated, "Anytime, anywhere?"
"Yes."
Liu Tang frowned. "Turn down the effect a bit. He can only hear my voice when he's in the same instance or area as me."
God was puzzled: "If that's the case, it will be very difficult for him to find you."
Liu Tang nodded. "But if he doesn't want to look for me, he can just stay away from me. I don't want this item to become a nightmare for him, making it impossible to escape no matter where or when."
After watching the clip shown to him by "God", Mo Qianhe finally understood why he could hear Xiao Xianyu's thoughts.
"Silly girl. You clearly want me to find you, but you don't want me to be forced to find you." He felt his heart was like a piece of kneaded candy, sour and sweet.
The huge figure opposite began to answer the fourth question raised by Mo Qianhe: "Regarding the souls forced to stay in the Chaos Zone, it is not easy for us to extradite them to the '18th Layer of Hell'.
"They are essentially bugs that have appeared, and we've been fixing them very quickly.
"But the speed of time in the two worlds is different. As the saying goes, 'One day in heaven is one year on earth.' From your perspective in the three-dimensional world, measured by the length of your lifespan, our speed in fixing these bugs is so slow that it seems as if no one is taking care of these souls at all."
Mo Qianhe didn't believe it: "Why can my little salty fish, Liu Tang, easily transfer souls?"
The "God" smiled and said, "Do you really think he has it easy? Then why would he pay the price of his life for extraditing souls?"
Mo Qianhe was choked. Indeed, Xiao Xianyu's early death and the fact that no one else could do it actually showed from another perspective that this matter was not easy.
The "God" changed the subject: "However, Liu Tang does have a special talent in this matter, so we hope that he can enter the 'four-dimensional world' as soon as possible, so that he can help more souls stranded in the chaos.
"Once he becomes a member of the 'fourth-dimensional world', dealing with these things will become much easier and will no longer consume his life."
When Mo Qianhe heard this, his heart was deeply moved.
He knew that Liu Tang liked to help others.
Leading trapped souls to the "18th level of Hell" would make him feel like he was doing something meaningful and would also make him feel closer to his parents. It would be best if Xiao Xianyu could do what he wanted while still ensuring his own safety.
"Wait a minute, why do I feel that you think Liu Tang is a programmer who fixes bugs?" Mo Qianhe suddenly reacted.
