Chapter 321 321
Chapter 82. Ah, I'm Dead.
"It's true."
There was an unprecedented solemness on Rosswealth's face.
"It's hard to describe the 'texture' of that consciousness. How should I put it? it's cold, sharp, crazy... If it was a soul born from the holy sword, it should not be filled with these emotions..."
"You mean, this soul was stuffed in later?"
"It's very possible."
Char looked at Narshil the holy sword, and could not help but be stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, he said to himself,
"I have to find out how the church got its hands on the holy sword. The answer might be hidden in there."
"There's one more thing ..."
"What?"
Rosswealth knocked her head and looked at him in confusion. "There seems to be something extra in my head... No, it should be said that it was there in the first place. It was originally locked up, but it was suddenly unsealed. No, I shouldn't say it's me, it's in the girl's head, but she's too stupid to realize this ..."
"What do you remember?"
"There are some terms that I vaguely remember you mentioning before, but I couldn't understand them at the time, or I didn't hear them, or I simply forgot. In short, I'm sure I've heard these things..."
Char's eyes widened, and his breathing quickened.
He grabbed her hand tightly, swallowed, and said in a low voice, "Players... NPC... Experience points... Skill points... These?"
"That's right, those are the ones." The young girl tilted her head, "What does that mean? It sounded... It was a little similar to the 'personal system' that the guy was bound to... Eh? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"I don't really know what to say..."
Char was stunned by the sudden good news, and he felt like he was in a daze.
He patted his head and took a few deep breaths before his quick-beating heart returned to normal.
He had a bold idea.
He had been acting alone for so long.
No one knew his current situation. With the game as the world, only Messiah knew about this part of the Otherworld. No one knew about the outside world.
To be honest, carrying so many things on his back made him feel mentally tired. If it wasn't for his strong will after 177 rounds of training, he would have collapsed thinking about whether his existence was real, not to mention uncovering these mysteries bit by bit...
So, how good would it be if he could have a companion?
He almost had one, but it was a pity that Evelyn didn't hold on.
In the secret room in Howling Rock Canyon, when he discussed the existence of the enemy with Zin'rokh, she also heard everything. However, she could not accept the concept of " players, NPCs, and games " as they were all forbidden words to her. Without these concepts as support, it was like a house without a foundation. There was no way to build a cognitive system, which was why she was at a loss at that time.
And now, there was an opportunity in front of him.
"Char?"
"I'm fine," he said.
Char took a deep breath and said, "Don't be afraid of what I'm going to say next."
"Don't worry, I won't be afraid."
Char stared into her eyes.
"I... I didn't belong in this world... I should say that I'm a "foreigner" from another world."
Rosswealth blinked.
"Why would I be afraid of this?"
"The point is, I'm not just a 'foreigner', I'm also a player. God's chosen ones like me are all players, but not Outlanders. Do you understand?"
Rosswealth nodded.
"You mean, "God's choice" are all "players". The reason you can revive after death is that you are a 'player'. But at the same time, you're also an 'Outlander', so you're different from them. That's why when the world was restarted so many times, you were always there, but those 'players' weren't. Now that they're here, they're your kind..."
"Just like this!" Char couldn't help but cheer.
"So, you were sent by them to "Scout"? Just like the advance party during an expedition, " Rosswealth said. "The past world was constantly restarted. It was you who collected information and set up a beach for their landing..."
"No, no, no. That's where the problem lies. I know the origin of the "players", because I came from the same world as them," Char said seriously. "But I'm sure we came to this world in a different way. Someone built a bridge for them to come here, but I can't go back through this bridge because I'm already a part of this world..."
"But why would they do that? To conquer our world?" Rosswealth asked in confusion. "Then why was the church willing to be the backing of the "chosen ones"... Could it be that the church also came from the same world as you ... Wait a minute, could it be that you are also facing the abyss?"
The f*ck?
What the f*ck?
The benefits of having more companions were evident in a second. From the perspective of the natives, Rosswealth immediately gave a clue that was completely different from Char's ...
Char suddenly realized that he had been too narrow-minded.
If one were to leave the topic of Otherworlds and conspiracy theories behind and stand on higher ground, looking at the relationship between the two worlds and the abyss, there was indeed a path to take. The reason why a certain existence had built this bridge was to let God's chosen ones enter this place to fight against the abyss, and perhaps to accumulate experience for Earth to fight against the abyss.
F*ck, this is amazing!
A genius's idea!
Why didn't I think of that?
No, but Zin'rokh said that I was a child of the abyss...
Why is that...
"Char?"
Rosswealth waved her hand in front of him, and Char finally came back to his senses.
"Sorry, I was distracted..."
He shook his head and temporarily sealed this genius's thoughts.
"I can't give you an answer to your guess because I'm also asking for an answer... I'm sorry for hiding it from you."
"So you're the first one to confess, right? That Dark Elf, that Grand priest with terrifying breasts, and Senia, " Rosswealtg said with a smile. "They didn't know about this before I did, right? "
"You can say that..."
"Is that so? That's great."
Rosswealth laughed smugly in his arms.
Char scratched his head in embarrassment.
There was no way to continue this...
There were some things that others could joke about, but he couldn't admit it.
"Speaking of which, that idiot also noticed the abnormality." Rosswealth suddenly said.
The idiot was undoubtedly Ortlinde.
"What did she find?"
"The 'personal system' that the dwarf wintermelon machine taught her is unparalleled in the training of Warriors. I suspect that this is also the purpose of the church. Laurentia and the Holy See have deliberately risked their lives to attack the barbarians. Their purpose is to dig this road at the river of rites, directly to Ravesland, and then get this 'personal system'."
"This thing, together with the 'players' that you said won't die, is simply a killing machine that doesn't know fatigue! Without any worries, no bottom line, and no constraints, the only motivation came from the emotion of likes and dislikes. It was easy to be driven by the survival points provided by the 'personal system', and then become excited ... She surmised that this was the hidden goal of the Holy See and Laurentia!"
"I didn't expect her to be so smart ..." Char mumbled.
"She guessed it right?"
"Her guess is brilliant, but in fact... Players are already bound to this thing." Char shrugged. I have one too. It's even more advanced than Ellie'S.
"Then you and Elfheim are in danger!"
Losweise's expression suddenly changed.
Unlike Ortlinde, she had a keen sense of smell and naturally knew where the church was targeting. The conflict between the two had been irreconcilable ever since Char stole the gold from the bank and handed it to the Sunfire Royal Court.
Just imagine, the church had spent hundreds of years invading Elfheim and penetrating the latter, but in just one day, their rooted power had become like a street rat. Bad money had driven out good money for many years, and the economic dominance that they had painstakingly built had been brutally stripped away...
This was not a matter of whether the church could take this, but a matter of prestige.
The United Holy Kingdom was indeed dominated by the church, but it was obvious from the name that it was "United".
Without a doubt, the training was for this matter.
At the same time, she also understood why so many of God's chosen ones had taken the initiative to join the army...
If their personal system provided them with a "request to join the army" and rewarded a large number of survival points, which would also provide an endless stream of survival points for slaughterers in future battles, then everything that Ortlinde feared would happen!
Seeing that Rosswealth's expression had changed, Char consoled her, "It doesn't matter. 'Players" are scary, but not beasts. I'm sure I know this group of people better than the church. What they can use, I can use too."
"Then you have to be careful ..." Rosswealth said in concern, and then immediately brought up another topic that she was very concerned about.
"What are NPCs?"
'Hmmm...'
Even though this question was also included in the list of explanations for Char's plan, the way she asked it and the urgency in it seemed a little ... Off.
"You can think of it that way. Kuris and 875 are NPCs to you, and 875's identity is more important..."
"So, before the "players" came in, everyone in this world was an NPC to you?"
As expected of you, Rosswealth!
Char nodded awkwardly.
"You said that the world has been rebooted many times in the past. Since that idiot didn't recognize you, it means that she knows nothing about the past. Does this mean that every time the world is rebooted, the memory of the 'NPC' will not be retained? " She asked again.
"Yes."
"then, I don't think you'll be devoted to an 'NPC' who will always forget themselves, right? "
"Ha..."
As expected, she still asked this question!
Char fell silent, but his legs were shaking in nervousness.
I can't stand it!
This question was too sharp!
Every minute and second was so unbearable ...
"I can't lie," he said with a bitter smile. "from a certain beginning, until the end when Zin'rokh was destroyed and the world was restarted. I call this process a 'Round'. Then, in the past 177 rounds ... I'm sorry, but I can't be that devoted. I didn't think that one day you would all wake up, and... I haven't thought of what to do either..."
Char lowered his head in unease.
This time, he really didn't know what to say.
With her temper and possessiveness, she would probably be angry, right?
He thought.
However, the interrogation and storm he had expected did not come.
Rosswealth gently hugged him and kissed his hair. She said in a low voice, "177 rounds... You must have had a hard time all these years."
Char was dumbfounded.
It was as if someone had shot him in the heart with a bang.
It was as if a grenade had exploded in his chest!
He was completely overwhelmed by this sudden gentleness!
He hugged her tightly, as if all the loneliness, madness, and bigotry of the past 177 rounds had collapsed in an instant, dug out from the deepest part of his memory, crushed and burned. Finally, he was blown into the sea by a strong wind, and the ashes were rolled up by the monstrous waves and beaten to the bottom of the sea, never to rise again.
"That's good..." 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮
Suddenly, Messiah appeared out of nowhere.
She stood in the corner and looked at the two of them.
It sounded sour.
She was too far away, and she was standing behind Char, so he did not notice that the goddess was peeking at him.
The warmth only lasted for a minute or two before Char left the place unwillingly.
Then, he skipped the topic.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and were probably unwilling to talk about it, so they used a gentle way to get through such a sharp topic.
As for the future ...
We'll talk about it in the future!
"What do you plan to do with this sword?" She asked.
"I'll hold onto it for the time being. I might need it in the next battle."
He took the holy sword and tried it, but it still couldn't be put into his backpack. Suddenly, he had an idea. What if he put it in the Pseudo Divine Space?
He immediately did so.
Then, there was a flash of white light, and the holy sword Narshil disappeared.
This works too?
Alright, this Pseudo Divine Space had already evolved into a master God Space.
After temporarily solving the holy sword's problem, Char opened the shopping list and first bought a map of the fourth section.
As soon as he got the map, it was compatible with the mini-map that came with the system.
The original mini-map only recorded the areas he had been to, but now that the large parts of section four was lit up, he easily found the electrical accumulator and Kuris' workshop.
Purchase 'electronic eye-107 in the battery area'.
beep - This area has been locked. Purchase is prohibited.
"As expected ..." Char mumbled.
Upper City District was involved in this incident, which meant that it was most likely upper city people who took the initiative to attack and take away Kuris and 875. The two sides even exchanged fire in the workshop.
Had the black market's matter been exposed?
It couldn't be such a coincidence ...
He didn't give up. He looked at the mini-map a few times and then bought them one by one.
purchase 'electronic eye-82 in the battery area'.
purchase 'electronic eye-17 in the battery area'.
purchase 'electronic eye-04 in the riveted area'.
..
beep - This area has been locked. Purchase is prohibited.
"Beep."
"Beep."
There were at least 20 or so zones that were locked. There were also many zones that could be purchased, but he chose to cancel them all.
In the end, even Char couldn't help but laugh.
"It's really an outrageous operation." fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m
He connected all the prohibited areas and happened to find a route that led to a certain mysterious area.
"that's too stupid. Isn't that just telling others the location of the prison" ... He couldn't help but sigh.
Then, he stood up.
"Let's go, we'll break into the prison!"
