Chapter 1410 Everything for Nothing
"Chen Wenwen has entered Line 2."
Potato Chips Girl said, looking at the surveillance screen with a faint green night vision effect on the screen.
"Line 2 has been cleared."
The voice of Jiude Mai came from the headset.
In the monitoring room, the female ninja who had been sitting next to Potato Chips Girl watching the show had already rushed to the front line. When Sima Xuxu led Chen Wenwen and her group on their return journey, Jiude Mai left the monitoring room without looking back and rushed to Nibelungen. Everything was just as planned. Everyone had their own things to do, and everyone was performing according to the script, perfectly.
Potato Chips Girl tapped the keyboard to switch the surveillance screen and saw the platform of Line 2. The tall female ninja stood among a group of snake-like deadpool corpses, and the traces of violent blood gradually faded from her exposed skin. The tough and bloodthirsty monsters in the tunnel all died by beheading. When the black airflow passed through them, there was no feedback of pain and perception, and the head had already slipped to the ground.
"Remember to deal with the corpses, don't leave any." Potato Chips Girl reminded.
"Do you want to mop the floor again?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work."
"I'm not arguing with you. I'm seriously asking if the floor needs to be mopped again. If he smells too much blood, he won't be able to help but go crazy, right?" Jiude Mai said, holding the headset.
Potato Chip Girl was silent for a moment, looking at the girl running in another surveillance picture, "There's not much time, just get rid of the body."
"Got it." Jiude Mai replied.
Potato Chip Girl hung up the call, lay down in the chair, and wrapped herself in the blanket. The room was air-conditioned, but she still felt a little cold, cold from the inside out. She was one of the few insiders of the Nibelungen game, and one of the real outsiders (maybe). She knew the strict script of the Nibelungen, a drama written by more than three parties, complicated, chaotic, but surprisingly simple.
In this play, all the scenes that seem to be unexpected are carefully arranged. The ending of each seemingly thrilling battle is already predetermined, but there may be slight changes in the process.
Maybe when Sima Xuxu found that Li Huoyue came to his door, he would think that this was an unexpected encounter, but in the script, the blood feud involving "Yue" should be staged at that time. According to the plan of the script, Lancelot and Xia Wang met Zhao Xusheng, and only when Lancelot died could Xia Wang fall into Zhao Xusheng's hands, so that they could smoothly contact Sima Xuxu and Chen Wenwen. Sima Xuxu and Zhao Xusheng would be tripped in place after meeting Li Huoyue. Lancelot is not counted in the combat power, so it should be Chen Wenwen who took Xia Wang away, one link after another.
Of course, Lu Mingfei will meet Su Xiaoqiang and become Su Xiaoqiang's protector. They will drag each other down and slow down their progress. In the sewer level, they missed Chen Wenwen and Sima Xuxu because of Zhao Xusheng. They went all the way to the end and then turned back, so that they could leave enough time.
As for Lin Nian, the biggest trouble was that the death of the five clan leaders in the outside world would trip him up. When he entered Nibelungen again, he would slow down a lot to check his clearance speed. Even if he killed through Nibelungen at a magical speed, the reality show quiz and the world tree branch projection level could successfully delay his time, so that he missed Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang on the return journey with an exquisite coincidence, and arrived at the final Line 9 alone.
Everyone walked on their own line step by step. It was the silk thread woven by the spinning wheel of fate. It seemed fragile, but it could not be torn apart by any external force, because they never touched each other, forming a visual network layer by layer.
Even the calculating potato chip girl couldn't help but feel terrified before this layout. This is no longer a simple plot, it is simply a pure script weaving, every step, every detail is perfectly arranged, seemingly insignificant places, but they guide those exquisite time differences to take shape.
If there is a slight mistake, one line really overlaps with another line, then a chain reaction will occur, and the whole network will be messed up in an instant and completely collapsed.
But until now, the potato chip girl has not seen any loopholes appear, the abstract network of fate is rolling and weaving quickly in her sight, tight and airtight, so tight that it makes people suffocate and fear.
She suddenly realized one thing, it is impossible to defeat this great and despicable plotter from the layout, you can never rebel against your screenwriter in the script, once the big net begins to shrink towards you, you have no way out.
The only way out is also the only way to break out. You have to speed up your pace. In the process of the big net closing, there will inevitably be a single gap. That is the only way out. It is like a shrinking hole hidden at the end of the distance. The only thing you can do is to run desperately towards that exit and rush out of that way out as much as you can. Otherwise, you will be bound in the network of fate and become a butterfly that can never hatch in the cocoon.
Potato Chip Girl suddenly opened the communication, "Ma Yi, do you think this is what the boss wants to see?"
Mai Shutoku, who was carrying the body of the snake-shaped Deadpool in the Line 2 tunnel, did not raise her head and said calmly, "This is not something you and I should care about, is it? The boss always has his own ideas, we just need to complete it That’s all he wants, whether it’s to die calmly or to escape cowardly, haven’t we done the same thing no matter how despicable or crazy it is?”
"."
Potato Chip Girl was quiet for a while and said, "Actually, there is still a chance. Didn't the boss mention it? No matter how subtle the layout is, there will always be a turnaround."
"Do you pity her? That girl." Mai Shutoku asked.
"No, I just think it's unfair to Lu Mingfei." Potato Chip Girl said, "He has worked hard, really worked hard."
"If you just answered me that you do pity that girl, I will hang up the call, but if you are talking about Lu Mingfei, maybe we can still have a chat." Mai Shutoku said, "Nothing is fair. Yes, I think you should have realized this the day you were taken away by your boss, right? This world is always about the strong and the weak. Power and strength are the true meaning of our world. This is a cannibalistic world where everyone Climbing on each other's bodies, having a carnival and devouring their flesh and blood is the only way to survive. Thinking about this may make you feel better. "
"Even if the power Lu Mingfei has now is not enough?" Potato Chip Girl asked, "Do we have to force him to the point of no return?"
"You seem to have misunderstood a little." Mai Shutoku said softly, "You haven't been in contact with the boss for as long as I have, so you don't know Lu Mingfei as well as I do. The boss's feelings for Lu Mingfei are never that he wants him to change. Getting better and better - that was always the high hope given to him by the people around Lu Mingfei. There was no way to retreat. It was simply the gentlest move. Every time Lin Nian put Lu Mingfei on the edge of the cliff, he would do it again. Reach out to him and let him grow up in fear and helplessness. But is this really what the boss wants?"
"No." Su Enxi whispered, "What the boss wants is not to retreat. What he wants is for Lu Mingfei to fall into the abyss and then climb out with his own hands!"
Her voice trembled with a tremor that she couldn't even realize, and she felt cold and frightened by it, as if she could see the boy's icy golden eyes blooming like iris in the abyss.
"The boss never appreciates the people around Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei who help him." Mai Jiude said, "On the contrary, the boss only hates them for being nosy and gives Lu Mingfei so much tenderness and encouragement that he doesn't know the so-called. Those encouragements Lu Mingfei has indeed grown up with help from others, but the speed is too slow. Lu Mingfei has never needed the help of so-called friends and classmates. If you want him to grow, it is very simple, just let him be alone. Let him fall into the abyss in loneliness, and the boss will always be there waiting for him in the deepest part of the abyss.”
Falling into the abyss again and again, embracing the devil, climbing out of the abyss again, and back and forth, until he becomes the abyss and the devil.
Friendship, love, hope.
Nothing can compare to true despair and no retreat. I'm afraid it's really just an extremely gentle word.
"But what's the price?" Su Enxi asked.
"Something." Mai Shutoku said.
"But for him, those things may sometimes mean everything."
"Something for nothing." Mai Shutoku said, "a benefit that comes without paying a price. But where can there be such a great thing in the world? If the lost something is all he has, then that's right , everything for nothing, everything is nothing but.”
"Everything is in vain." Su Enxi nodded.
"It's so cruel," she said.
"No one says this is not cruel." Mai Shutoku said, "But that doesn't mean there is no other choice. As long as he runs fast enough, faster, faster, and stop the tragedy before it happens. . He has been racing against time since he entered the Nibelungen, and he understands this."
"only."
"Put away your empathy, Su Enxi. You should know that as subordinates, we never have the power to 'choose'. This is why the boss chooses to trust us. Do you want to live up to this trust and violate That contract?"
There was a coldness in her voice, as if at this moment, they had never had friendship, all they had was the same die-hard loyalty to the boss. This loyalty does not allow betrayal, slander, or even wavering in any way. Otherwise, she will do what needs to be done before the boss makes a choice.
Su Enxi responded silently. In her peripheral vision, the figure had appeared on Line 2's surveillance.
"Mai, retreat." She said, "What happens next is beyond our control."
The female ninja on the screen looked up at the surveillance camera hidden in the corner, nodded slightly and took a step back. Like ink dripping into ink, it turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared into the darkness.
