Chapter 232 Information
Chapter 232
All four were stunned. Bo Yan's expression was incredibly interesting: "What do you mean? Does that mean our lives are tied to yours? If you die, we die; if you live, we live?"
Lazy Cat's eyes lit up: "So, if Seventh Sister doesn't die, then I won't die either?"
Boyan looked at Lazy Cat incredulously: "Do you know what you're saying?"
Lazy Cat rolled his eyes: "Seventh Sister will definitely live longer than you, don't try to take advantage of me and then act innocent."
A-Tong and Ji-Wei burst out laughing, and seeing Bo-Yan's hilarious expression, they gave Lazy Cat a thumbs up.
Lazy Cat became even more smug, its eyes wide as it looked at Lin Xia: "Seventh Sister, do you have some kind of master-servant contract? Did you sign it for me?"
Bo Yan closed his eyes speechlessly, and Lin Xia looked up at Lazy Cat in surprise, saying speechlessly, "There's no need to belittle yourself like that."
The lazy cat scratched its head: "I was just using an analogy."
Lin Xia smiled and said, "The place that Boyan mentioned does exist. It's called the 'Sea of Human Collective Unconsciousness'."
Bo Yan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized: "So, the place that many people have speculated about actually exists?"
"Could it be that the energy those things absorb..." He looked up in surprise, "is that the source of our current energy?"
He stood up and paced excitedly, saying, "That place is closely related to you, which is why it changed when you died! It reclaimed our energy?"
"It's not that your energy has been withdrawn, it's just... there was a slight contact issue, but it will recover afterward." Lin Xia nodded.
"We're unlucky enough to be fighting right now, and against a formidable enemy at that. With such a huge opening exposed, if I don't die, who will?" Lazy Cat concluded.
"If you die, will we stop absorbing energy altogether?" Boyan asked doubtfully. "So, we'll be deeply bound to this world from now on?!"
A-Tong's eyes were bright. She had obtained some information in the folded space before, where she learned about the importance of mental power users. She had never understood it until now, when she realized that Lin Xia was the key to their escape from the ocean system.
Without Lin Xia, they are just toys in other people's hands. Although they still are now, it's good to get rid of one of them as much as possible.
More importantly, Lin Xia's confession at this moment further demonstrates that they are now in the same boat, and they are true comrades-in-arms!
Ji Wei's eyes darted around, and she said happily, "Does that mean we're now bound together with Seventh Sister?"
Bo Yan rubbed his hair in frustration, looking intently at Lin Xia: "Can you take me to see him?"
Lin Xia shook her head: "The subconscious sea is the source of power and the most important thing in human civilization. Those monsters and beastmen are all coveting that place."
"If that place is polluted, then humanity will also perish, and never be able to be reborn."
"So, if you weren't contaminated, you could be reincarnated after you die?" Lazy Cat's eyes lit up.
Ji Wei gave him a disdainful look: "You might end up stuck in hell. Who has children these days?"
"Why can't I be stuck in paradise!" the lazy cat retorted.
A-Tong took a deep breath, too lazy to pay attention to the two of them, and handed Lin Xia a cup of fresh tea: "Then I have to thank the island lord for rescuing me from the hands of the ocean system."
Lin Xia shook her head: "I'm just glad you don't blame me for making you lose a system."
"How can you blame yourself? It's just a coincidence, and we were lucky." A-Tong smiled, feeling much more relaxed.
"Yeah, I'm really lucky, hahaha." Ji Wei's face was beaming with joy.
"I've always followed Seventh Sister, so it's my duty now!" Lazy Cat made a funny gesture.
"Should we look again to see if there's anyone who only has one system?" A-Tong pondered.
"Yes, but it's a pity for Brother Xie." Lazy Cat shook his head.
"There's always another way," Ji Wei said optimistically.
...
"Have you all forgotten about me? I have no interest in saving the world," Boyan interrupted everyone.
Lin Xia nodded: "Then you can leave. However, if you introduce the power of other races, I will not show any mercy."
"I want to know, if you die, will we no longer be able to absorb energy?" Boyan was somewhat doubtful. He hadn't actually gone out to fight; he had simply replicated the experiences of the people he had witnessed onto himself.
The only real thing was that he lost control of his power. Those people died without him knowing, but he himself didn't die. He tried again later and found that he couldn't absorb energy for a while.
He strongly suspected that in other worlds, if Lin Xia died, they wouldn't be able to absorb energy, but in the real world, that might not be the case; further testing was needed.
Lin Xia looked at him and said, "I don't know. I have no interest in dying so you can experiment on me."
After thinking for a while, Boyan recounted his experiences in the previous game world. Lazy Cat scoffed, "You really are something else, always reaping the benefits in every world."
Bo Yan frowned deeply: "I think..."
"No." Before Lin Xia could speak, Ji Wei interrupted her, smiling gently, "No matter what it is, it's not allowed."
Bo Yan looked at Lin Xia and saw that she was letting Ji Wei speak at will, and couldn't help but say, "If you didn't know better, you would think that Vice Island Master Ji is the one in charge."
"Tch... Save your breath. Seventh Sister kept you here only to warn you not to do things that harm others without benefiting yourself. Your talent must have something to do with those ghosts outside, right? Mind your own business, or I can deal with you even without Seventh Sister." Ji Wei glanced at him sideways.
"If you don't respect life, then don't worry about others not respecting you either." Ji Wei finished speaking without even glancing at him.
At first, she thought about winning him over, but after what happened last time, she realized that a purely evil person is not scary; you can just kill him.
What's frightening is that these kinds of people, who are both righteous and wicked, are unpredictable; no one knows if they might suddenly turn against you at a crucial moment.
Such people may seem genuine and self-aware, but in reality, they simply don't care about anyone's life and feel no guilt about betraying others.
I've always been this kind of person, didn't you already know that? Since you wanted to work with me, you should have been prepared... You'll never know how disgusting that statement is until you experience it yourself.
Seeing that the person who had always been lenient with him and tried to win him over was now speaking coldly to him, Bo Yan paused.
He really wanted to go there and see it for himself; he thought it was amazing and also wanted to know why so many things coveted it.
This idea fascinated him; he was certain that it must be an extremely mysterious place.
Moreover, if he were to cultivate there, it would definitely be extremely fast, but he needed to think carefully about how to get along with Lin Xia.
But now, seeing the cold attitude of those people towards him, he suddenly felt uncertain. It seemed that he wasn't as important as he had imagined.
